Stavros - The Cursed Beta (Overpowered Series) のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Stavros’s POV I shook the snow off my body and focused on my destination, the hospital. Before I could reach it, I saw Hazel leave with an unknown older male who was almost her father’s age. Maybe he was her uncle. I watched them leave in a car. It was late in the night and I had no other choice than to seek shelter at a nearby hotel for the night. Obviously, I couldn’t confront her again in his presence, nor did I want to go back to the hospital. As I drove over to the nearest hotel, a few buildings down the busy street, I had the eerie feeling of being stalked. I knew the stalker was back. Turning into the hotel’s driveway, I scanned behind me through the rear-view mirror. It was then I saw him distinctly, crouching behind a pickup truck opposite the hotel entrance. It was the same male I had seen earlier. Did Alpha Zander send him to spy on me? It was the only plausible explanation I could find. It was late, and I parked my car and booked myself a room to freshen up. Afterward,

Stavros’s POV I dumped Ajax’s bloodstained body on the porch of the packhouse, but before I could escape, Lena appeared at the door. In the pitch darkness, she saw me and snarled angrily, transforming into her wolf. Before she could attack me, Alpha Atticus appeared and howled for his dead son. It was enough to divert Lena’s attention, and I escaped. There wasn’t a minute to lose. I transformed and ran into the tunnel that led directly to the battlefield. It was the valley on the other side of Astros Hill, a small eroded hill on the eastern boundary of our village. Our pack had used it as a battlefield for as long as I could remember. It was the exact place where Alpha Achilles defeated Alpha Dimitrios twenty years ago. Zephyrus was waiting for me there, and I couldn’t let him down. I could hear the chaos at the packhouse as Alpha Atticus and Lena rushed towards the battlefield too, but I was faster. Negotiating through the empty tunnels, I reached the battlefield in minutes before

Stavros’s POV I returned from the Astral Mountains, where Hera was last seen before getting abducted. For the last twenty-four hours, I had looked for her everywhere, but we still had no clue to her whereabouts. I was now planning to take Zephyrus’s helicopter to scan every place in and around Lucania. We had to find Hera at all costs. We wouldn’t let the feral monster harm her. I strode into the packhouse to seek Zephyrus’s permission to use his copter when I noted the stressed look on everyone’s faces. “What happened?” I asked Orion, who stood waiting for Zephyrus. “The female prisoner escaped last night. Alpha Zephyrus and Leandros captured her and brought her back. She’s in the prison complex, and we’re waiting for Alpha Zephyrus here. He summoned us urgently for a meeting with the Council of Alphas.” I knew he was talking about Lena, but before I could ask him anything, Zephyrus stormed inside, looking furious. “Stav, stay back after the meeting. I need to talk to you urgentl

Stavros’s POV I sped on my snowmobile far away from Hazel's house. Dyson took over as I crossed Lake Lucia, a tiny frozen lake in a secluded area off the main roads. I was now transformed into an ugly Grypwolf, breathing fire. Thankfully, I was far away from Hazel now. I could sense Dyson fighting with Vyros to the surface and had to escape abruptly. Stopping the snowmobile, I took shelter near a snowy ledge. With the pack’s hunters on the prowl, I couldn’t risk my life. No one in their right senses would believe who I actually was. Shifters here in Lucania had no idea about the Grypwolves. They were an extinct species inhabiting the Pindus Mountains in Europe. I took deep breaths to calm the dragon in me. He couldn’t react this way every time I was near Hazel. There has to be a way to stop Dyson. ‘Go back inside Dyson! Talking, touching, or kissing my mate shouldn’t invoke your wrath. It’s wrong and against the curse! I’ll consult a more powerful witch to punish you for going agai

Hazel’s POV I returned home feeling disappointed to find no job vacancy at the only school in Lucania. Where else could I hunt for jobs without leaving my village? There was no way I could pursue my dream career here. The only options left for me were the temporary jobs around the village. After freshening up, I desperately needed a shoulder to cry on. Maybe Aunt Cassie would have a solution for me. Maybe I could keep myself occupied at the packhouse in the meantime. Anything was better than nothing. With no news of Hera, I felt lonely. Maybe I would get some updates if I stayed at the packhouse with my aunts. I started the car and steered it towards the packhouse. I found Aunt Cassie busy cooking with Aunt Carla in the packhouse kitchen when I reached there. The hunters had returned with a big haul and a feast was being prepared for all. “You can join us too, Hazel!” I considered the option. The dishes looked too good to resist. “Sure, if you allow me to help.” Aunt Carla smile
