Lahat ng Kabanata ng Destiny: The Alpha Heir: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

I got into the back seat of Liam’s car, a recent-model silver sedan. As they talked about the dinner and the performance, I listened attentively to their conversation. It seemed that the Alpha and his heir had recently returned from yet another clash at the shadowed borders. Annie’s father was one of the border guards and was away most of the time, so she was especially excited to see him, even if only for a few days. The dinner was meant to celebrate this moment of peace with family and close friends."We’re here!" Liam announced, parking in front of a large two-story house with a sprawling garden. The house sat on elevated ground, with the first floor slightly above street level and a driveway that appeared to lead down to an underground garage. Its location was relatively close to where Nicolas lived, which made perfect sense—after all, his father was the clan’s Beta."Let’s go to the kitchen first. I want to introduce you to my mom." Annie grabbed my arm while Liam unloaded the so

A few weeks had passed since that incident, and luckily, I hadn’t run into William again since then. Annie and the band had been going out a lot lately, hitting up parties I wasn’t invited to, so I spent a lot of time at home finishing the songs for my next album.Marcos, my manager, was thrilled when he found out Lisa was coming back. He was already making all the arrangements for recording the new songs. Soon, I’d need a special permit to go out and record, but I’d deal with that when the time came.Right now, I was in P.E. class. The teacher wanted to go over some exercises to assess the students’ speed and endurance, so I started warming up. Annie was right beside me, mimicking my stretches. With a clipboard in hand, the teacher called a few girls over to the court for a race. My name was on the list for the first round.“You’re gonna eat my dust!” Lorraine sneered next to me. The other girls around her laughed as they got into position.“This is our chance!” I thought.“Show them

It was a cloudy Sunday. The day was at its peak as I ran through the forest, shooting arrows at fixed targets. Today was Eliza’s hunting day—a preparation for the championship that would take place in fifteen days.I kept running until I spotted a rabbit and quickly shot an arrow before it had the chance to escape. Bullseye! Lisa was annoyed, itching to come out.“I want to train too!” she kept insisting.I hung my quiver and bow on the side of a tree and started taking off my clothes. Folding them neatly, I placed them inside my backpack and hung it on a lower branch, close to my bow. Initially, I wanted to test how rusty I had gotten, considering I hadn’t been practicing as much as I should. But the accuracy of my shots told me I was ready.Shifting into wolf form, Lisa grabbed the rabbit in her mouth, and we ran freely—until our fur stood on end. A clear sign that a strong predator was nearby. I couldn’t pick up its scent, which unsettled me. Trusting my instincts, I dropped the ra

It was warm and cozy. I pulled the blanket closer, refusing to open my eyes as someone poked me."Eliza, wake up. You need to take your medicine." A gentle, soothing voice spoke calmly to me. I immediately opened my eyes and sat up abruptly as the events from earlier rushed back. I should be in a forest, not in a soft bed in some unfamiliar room. The only light in the room came from a lamp on a nightstand beside where Annie was sitting."Ouch!" A sharp pain shot through my stomach from the sudden movement. I looked down at my belly and noticed I was wearing a pink nightgown."I cleaned you up and got you dressed," Annie explained, noticing the confusion on my face. "What happened to you?""Didn't William tell you?" If I was with Annie, he must've explained something."No." She lowered her head, looking sad. She seemed worried. "He brought you in late last night and asked me to take care of you and give you your medicine on time. He told me you were the one who needed to explain what h

"I think you were a little harsh on him," my wolf whispered inside me. How could she pity that idiot? She should be worried about me!"I can’t stand him!" I shouted, releasing some of the anger and pain that were consuming me. I was still in tears when the door opened again a few moments later. It was Marta, holding a tray of food in her hands."Sweetie, what happened?""Marta, please get me out of here!" I begged between sobs."Sweetheart, I can’t. I have to follow orders. Did William hurt you?""Kind of..." I didn’t want to talk about it with her. It wasn’t like she was going to take my side anyway."Well, I was told to bring you a meal and make sure you eat.""And how exactly do you expect me to eat like this?" I was lying down, my hands cuffed to the headboard. Marta walked closer and gently adjusted the pillows, allowing my head to be slightly more elevated."Sorry, this is all I can do for now." She placed the tray on the nightstand, picked up a bowl of soup, and brought the spo
