บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha's Possession : บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

The sound of someone diving into the water was the last thing Zephyr heard before darkness consumed her. Damon swam swiftly, finding her in seconds and carrying her out of the water. Laying her on the shore, he noticed her skin was as pale as a ghost’s. If nothing was done quickly, she would die.Damon pressed on her chest repeatedly, but there was no response. Her pallor deepened with each passing second. His eyes lingered on her lips, once rosy but now drained of color. Without hesitation, he sealed his lips over hers, drawing the water from her lungs. A moment later, she coughed violently, expelling the water. Her eyes fluttered open briefly before she fell unconscious again.The werewolves who had taken her lay incapacitated. Damon had ordered Rayven to drag them to the castle for further interrogation. Answers would be tortured out of them. Running a hand through his blood-red hair, Damon glanced at the stormy sky. Time was against them; she needed warmth and care to survive, and

Chapter 12While he was in the study, which was connected to their room, he had heard the hitch in her heartbeat. He had known the exact moment those eyes had fluttered open, and just as he had predicted, she attempted to run away.He had said he wouldn’t touch her, but seeing her in his shirt that barely covered her made something snap in his head.As he held her closer to himself, her fragile heartbeat creating music in his ear, he could feel how her body trembled in his hold. Letting go of her bosom, he held her waist more firmly and carried her in his arms.Her frame was so small, too tiny compared to his, that he felt like he was carrying a bird. He carried her back to the bed and placed her gently on it, leaving Zephyr wide-eyed.“Stay here and don’t move an inch,” Damon warned, his eyes hardening as the seconds ticked.Zephyr nodded her head in fear, wishing this terrible night would end soon. She watched as the Alpha walked away from her and went through a door located on the

Chapter 14Zephyr managed to keep eye contact with him for a moment. Her brows arched as she pursed her lips. If not horses, then what?“I don’t ride camels nor donkeys, milord,” Zephyr said as she diverted her eyes away from him, fixing them on the window. She knew it was more than disrespectful to look him in the eye. If she had done that with the maids at the castle, she would have been handed the cruelest punishment in existence.Rayven’s lips pressed into a thin line as he watched her. Perhaps… he would dig his grave some other time.“Never mind,” he said.Zephyr nodded, and they continued the rest of the ride in silence.They reached the castle, and Zephyr’s heart dropped as they passed through the grand gate. Here she was, back to her home of torment. One day, I will escape from here and be free of these walls, she assured herself.The carriage came to a halt, and the coachman stepped down to open the carriage door for them. Rayven got out first, followed by Zephyr.“Thank you

Chapter 16“Zephyr, Zephyr. Zephyr, I’m sorry,” Zephyr heard a woman say, but she could barely see her face. All she could see was her long black hair. Her voice held so much pain and sadness, and the sound of her cries made her heart wrench. Just when she was about to reach out to her, her eyes flew open.She knew she was conscious, but at the same time, she felt like she was not. She could hear a loud noise in her head. She tried to move, but her body felt too heavy. She was cold, too cold.“Zephyr, you’re awake,” North said as relief washed over her. Her relief was short-lived, though, as Zephyr fell unconscious again.North cried as she dipped the towel in warm water, squeezed it, and placed it on her forehead. Zephyr had promised to meet her at dinner. She had looked for her everywhere but was shocked to find her unconscious in the heavy rain.The people here were truly heartless, and she despised them all. She had personally carried her back to her room because she knew no one w

Chapter 18Zephyr let out a loud scream, surprising Damon, who had been standing next to the bed. She began gasping for breath, her eyes searching frantically for something that wasn’t even there to begin with. She had obviously had a bad dream.She got down from the bed and rushed toward the door, trying to leave, but the door was locked.“Come back to your senses,” Damon said, holding her hand and forcing her to look at him.Zephyr shocked him further by burying her face in his broad chest, wrapping her smaller hands around him as she began crying.Damon’s body froze as she hugged him, sobbing even more. His brows furrowed as he wondered what she had seen in her dreams to make her act this way. His jaw hardened as he gently patted her back, feeling like the slightest pressure from him would break her; she was too fragile.Eventually, her sobs died down, and he had no choice but to carry her back to bed, covering her properly with the thick blanket.“It’s just a dream; go to bed,” he
