Lahat ng Kabanata ng Alpha's Single-Mother Luna: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

[ALPHA RAY’s Point of View]My heart and mind froze when I saw the blade glinting under the bright light of the crystal chandelier.As I saw Sylvie point the blade at her own chest, terror crawled up to my neck. I saw black and red as my vision blurred and lightning ran all over my body as I moved to stop Sylvie from harming herself.The blade was only a few inches above her chest when I reached for her hand, begging for her to let go of the weapon. Sylvie gave me a baffled look. Her face was flustered and pale and she was ready to die if it meant her son would survive.“Not like this, Sylvie.” My jaw tightened but my voice was soft and pleading as I stared into her teary eyes. “Not like this.”Sylvie bit her lip and her body trembled. But she didn’t let go of the blade despite the shaking of her hands. She had been enduring all her fears and the insults that people threw at her, and I couldn’t suppress or pretend anymore that I wasn’t affected by it. My eyes darted at Mandy as I fel

[SYLVIE’s Point of View]“I want her dead, Carter! That’s what we both agreed! I want that woman DEAD!”Mandy’s hysterical screams and cries echoed all over the room, making everyone think she had already lost it. Her strong desire to kill me was driving her to madness and I wanted to feel sorry that a beautiful and smart woman like her had let jealousy destroy her life and her status in Alpha Ray’s pack. I didn’t know what to feel while watching Mandy glare at me like I was the one who destroyed her life—blaming me for everything horrible that was happening to her. Maybe if they didn’t involve my son and put him in danger, I could still forgive her. But at that moment, as we exchanged deadly glares, all I wanted was to tear her and the two *ssholes standing beside her apart so they would never hurt Oliver again.“You let the boy go and half of the pack will be given to them.” Alpha Ray ignored Mandy’s hysteria and focused on Carter, who kept on wiping the beads of sweat forming on h

[SYLVIE’s Point of View]To my surprise, Lucas ignored Mandy, and the woman looked at him as if she couldn’t believe what he just did after he shrugged his shoulders to take her hands off him. On the other hand, I couldn’t take my eyes away from his stare, wary of what he would do next. It was as if he was trying to delve deep into my eyes, reading whatever emotions he thought I was hiding from him. I didn’t want to assume he was still hoping for something from me and the thought only terrified me more, scared that the bond still had a huge effect on him.That cunning look in his eyes was like a predator waiting for its prey. Those brown irises that looked honey under the soft light of the crystal chandelier. That distinct lifting of one corner of his lips, the arrogance in his posture. It made him a different Lucas I knew at that summer camp seventeen years ago. The rage in me gave me a sickening feeling as I remembered how he lured me into a trap that gave me nightmares and left me

[SYLVIE’s Point of View]It gave me relief that Lucas didn’t say anything anymore as I watched him take his phone from the pocket of his jacket. I was tired of all the sham and I couldn’t believe he was still trying to deceive me with all the lies that made me miserable after being a huge fool for believing in him.He quietly dialed on his phone and all of us were waiting until he gave it to me and raised his eyebrow as if telling me to take it.I gave him a suspicious look. “I told you I won’t believe in any of your lies anymore.”“You don’t want to hear our boy’s voice?”“Stop calling him ‘your boy!’ I snarled at him. “And f*ck you!” The amusement in his eyes disappeared. I still didn’t trust him though, but I was desperate to know if Oliver was really safe so I snatched the phone from him with shaking hands and whispered, “Oliver?”“Mom?!”“Oliver! Oh, Goddess, are you safe?” I asked my son without turning my back on Lucas, scared of what he would do if I did. I kept my eyes on hi

[ALPHA RAY’s Point of View]If it weren’t for Sylvie, I would have torn that man limb to limb.I kept my calm as I watched Lucas’ every move. I couldn’t believe that the leader of the Black Gold Group could do such a horrible thing to Sylvie and the pack that was once one of the most peaceful communities in this region. I met the Alpha of the Moonlight Pack before when I used to assist my father in managing the Eastridge and I could recall they were the most welcoming were-people that my father had as a friend.The news about what the Black Gold Group did to Sylvie’s family and her people gave me the motivation to corner this mafia beast and make sure they wouldn't be able to do the same to the Eastridge or any pack. But if it was about Sylvie’s safety, I was willing to sacrifice everything just to save my mate.Every muscle in my body was tensed and tight as I watched Sylvie and Mandy swing those blades to each other, wanting to land that first cut and make sure it was fatal.
