Semua Bab I Am The Alpha: Bab 111 - Bab 120

HIGAN’S POVI woke up with a gasp that scraped my throat raw. My body shot upright, drenched in sweat, breath crashing in and out of my lungs like waves in a storm. My heart pounded like war drums beneath my ribs, loud and furious.Same dream. Same girl. Same fear.I rolled over and sat at the edge of my bed, and rested my elbows on my knees. I dragged my fingers through my sweat damp hair.The memory of that night crept in like a chill, crawling down my spine and settling beneath my skin.It had been a week since i witnessed the most baffling, bone-deep unraveling of everything i thought i had figured out.I had trailed Harlyn to Becca’s place that night, expecting God knows what, but nothing could have prepared me for the chaos that unfolded before my eyes.Becca wasn’t a werewolf?Harlyn wasn’t just a werewolf?A lupomancer?Whatever that meant, it wasn’t good. Not for me. Not for the rest of us.I clenched my jaw and stood up, the cold air kissing my bare arms as I yanked a shirt

HARLYN’S POVThe full moon nearing continually had wolves acting out of control especially female wolves given the coming transformation coupled with periods.I wouldn’t really know. Being from an original bloodline apparently meant I could turn at will. So I was failing to properly empathize with Tess.But that aside, I couldn't tell any valid reason as to why she would strike me, today of all days, this morning of all mornings.Ethan, Khalid, Abigail, and I had decided to take to the streets this morning to get breakfast outside before the day started and people could witness us around.The main goal was to oversee some of Ethan’s new guards merging effortlessly into town as residents so we can anticipate any suspicious activities from any corner.We would meet their leader at some point to receive a report but while we waited, I entered the bathroom and to my unfortunate luck, I bumped into an angry Tess who hit me after our Collision.“I can smell Ethan on you,” she heaved raspily

It had been fifteen minutes and I had grown right to the edge of the van’s leather seat. I felt anxious, curious, and more than a little irritated that no one was saying anything to me yet.After our conversation last night and the sheet-tangling events that followed and left me flustered, Ethan and I had woken to Khalid relaying something “urgent.”There’d been no time for lingering in the afterglow of our connection. Just declarations. All Ethan said was “Get dressed. You’ll want to hear this in person.”Now there I was, in a van that rumbled past the same stretch of backroad we’d taken to the airport when we left for New York. Déjà vu, only this time the air wasn’t humming with overwhelming dread and I wasn't looking over my shoulder for a threat I couldn't recognize.Abigail sat beside me, legs crossed, flipping through a file like she was reviewing notes before a meeting. Caleb and Abel were seated across from us with folded arms and sharp gazes.None of them seemed entirely phas

Higan scoffed away his annoyance, “Or rather,” he proposed, straightening his spine “Your team doesn’t move past this perimeter without my permission. This is still my town.”His mouth rang out with false authority, the kind built on fragile ego. He glanced at his father for reinforcement.Harris bounced his head gravely. “We may owe you a great deal but this is Springville, and you should respect the chain of command.”Ethan didn’t flinch. He stared at them both like they were chess pieces pretending to be kings.“Chain of command,” he repeated dryly. “Interesting term, coming from a man who abdicated in favor of mediocrity.”A few wolves in the back barely held in their reactions as they bared their teeth.Higan’s smirk faltered. “You can insult me all you want, Stark. But you have people in town, people I still hold dominion over. Namely…”His eyes slid again to me. “…your precious girl’s parents.”Something twisted in my stomach, not out of fear, but recognition of his ploy. I kne

Higan was missing, Becca was missing, and the town had grown wary to the tragedy at the Stark mansion that prompted Alpha Stark to take over the town of Springville.That was all I learnt in the report narrated by Abigail following the events that occurred right after they found me by the edge of the woods at Springville.I'd walked there from where I woke by instinct. It took about a day of nothingness scratching the corners of my brain.Without a home to go to, I simply wandered around the woods listening to the town and its new buzzing patrols. It wasn’t hard to connect the dots from when I was escorted to my old house which was rebuilt.I would have liked to say it was surprising to see the entire town of Springville under lockdown from Ethan’s army but it wasn’t. I’d expected nothing less from him.But it was surprising to hear that Higan managed to escape along with Becca which made killing her more difficult now.No one seemed to be willing to open up about how I left their sig
