Alpha Kane's Omega Mate. のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Kane's povThe grand hall was tense, the air thick with fear and apprehension. I could feel it pulsing off the gathered employees, maids clustered to one side, guards standing in rigid formation on the other, and the rest of the staff scattered nervously in between. My eyes scanned them, not really seeing faces, just searching. Looking for her. The one maid who had brought the poisoned drink to Julia.My patience was wearing thin, and the anger simmering beneath my skin started to boil. It had been five days since it all happened. Five days of lying in that hospital bed, recovering from whatever hell that poison had dragged me through. I hated the fact that I hadn’t been conscious, hated that I couldn’t stop her before she disappeared.She ran. That much was obvious, and the thought of it made my blood burn. I should have had someone with me. Someone should have been by my side when it happened. But no, she got away, and now I was left playing catch-up."Alpha Kane."Harry’s voice bro

Dylan's povI peeked through the crack of the door, heart pounding in my chest as I watched Julia wrap her arms around Kane. My throat tightened, that familiar twist of jealousy crawling up my spine, and I hated it. I hated how close they were getting. How easily he could step in and take over while I was gone. If I had been there, maybe none of this would’ve happened. Maybe Julia wouldn’t have gone through hell if I’d stayed instead of taking that stupid vacation with my friends.But I wasn’t there. I wasn’t there to save her.And now, all I could do was stand in the shadows, listening to the maids and guards gossip about how Kane had stepped in at the right moment. How he’d taken the drink meant for her and saved her life. That should’ve been me. I should’ve been the one to protect her, to keep her safe.But I wasn’t.I didn’t even realize how much I loved her until I saw her in his arms. Kane. My brother. How did it come to this? Two weeks—that's all it took for everything to fall

Julia’s povKane detached his lips from mine, and I used the opportunity to catch my breath; my cheeks flushed, and I couldn't look him in the eyes. “Sorry.” I heard him whisper. Was he apologizing for kissing me? Weird that he would do that.“Follow me.” He said and started walking towards the large bookshelves. I followed behind, eyes fixed on the shelf we were approaching. Kane stopped by one of them and picked out two books. He turned to face me, handing both books to me.One read; *Theories of the Lycan’s Luna.* And the other read; *Hierarchy of the Blood Moon pack.* A categorization of the pack's Alphas from the very beginning till date. Kane would be added when he celebrates his 60th birthday, and that's a long time from now. I briefly glanced at him; our eyes met, and my cheeks heated up.He was staring at me. “Take your time on them, your brother stated you love the library. You are a member now, you can come here anytime you want, but that would be under the supervision o

Julia's pov I hurried out of the room, my heart racing; as I stepped out, looking all panicked, Penelope approached me. “What's wrong?”I held her shoulder, breathing heavily, as I tried to calm myself down.“Miss Julia, are you okay?” I shook my head, pointing at the door I had just run out of.Penelope pulled me to a chair and helped me settle, she grabbed a bottle of water by the table and gave it to me. I downed the content viciously as if deprived of water. “Miss Julia, talk to me. What happened there?”“So–Someone…someone was s–staring at me,f–from the window.” The mall's official approached us clearly, seeing the ruckus I had made. “Hello ma'am, are you alright?” The blond lady asked. “It appears Miss Julia was attacked, tell them what happened.” Penelope urged. I gulped too scared and unsure if my words would make any sense to them. “Someone was peeking through the dressing room. I ran out shaken by it.” I said and the blond lady waved her hand, and two men in uniforms ap

Julia's pov “Julia. You have to return to your room. It's more comfortable there for you; there's no reason to be scared; I am right here.” Pen said, but I refused to reply.How can she ask me to return to my room? What if Gray is there, in the corners waiting to hurt me?“I am not going anywhere,” I said, sniffing. Pen gently pushed me and I loosened my arms around her. She held my face and caressed my hair. “I don't care about Gray's threats. I will tell Alpha Kane, and he will protect you.” I shook my head, taking a good of her hand. My fingers were trembling, and I tried my best to keep them settled. “Are you crazy?” I asked in disbelief, “We don't even have any tangible evidence to prove Gray is an abuser, what if you get hurt in the process? I won't be able to forgive myself if that happens.”“So we watch silently until he strikes? No Julia, I can't let that happen. I will tell Alpha Kane, let that monster do his worst.” I couldn't believe how courageous Pen still was eve
