บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha and the traitor's daughter : บทที่ 201 - บทที่ 210

IVY Even after yelling at the top of my voice and pushing him away. I knew that I couldn't shut him out of my life for a long time. Elvis found his way into my room after so much pleading and I couldn't believe he was standing in front of me now. “I'm so sorry for everything that happened, Ivy. I know that I have a lot to do in making up to you,” he pleaded but that seemed to cross me. “Stop saying sorry,” I snapped. Elvis was leaning against my door frame before I could even finish locking it. His eyes were on mine and they had no shame and no fear in them, just regret. I pressed my back against the wall with my arms crossed. Now, I had to listen to the bullshit he had to say. “I know you don’t want to hear it. But I’m going to say it anyway,” he started after swallowing a huge lump of saliva down his throat. He cleared his throat multiple times and I waited patiently with my face as tight as ever. “Fine,” I said, lifting my chin. “Go ahead.” He stepped inside and gently c

IVYI thought the snickering would stop eventually, but I was wrong. To my surprise, they began to mock me even harder.“Say that again. I dare you,” I yelled at them.My voice shook as I stared at the girl in front of me. Her smile widened like she was enjoying seeing me break into pieces.She tilted her head and laughed. This time she pointed at me.“I said and I will say it again. Your wolf looks like it just came out of a nursery,” She leaned closer and winked at me. “It was such a cute little puppy and it looked so harmless.”Laughter erupted around her like a flame catching dry grass. The other trainees chuckled and whispered loudly to each other.“That’s not even the worst part,” one guy called from the back. “There’s no way she is really the Alpha’s daughter. I mean, come on. Look at her.”Another chimed in, making it even worse for me. My cheeks were already burning and they were red as fire.“Her mom probably cheated. It all makes sense why the moon goddess cursed her with

IVYI was dreading every moment as we marched into the woods. There were a lot of things that I wasn't comfortable with but what could I do?My feet were planted firmly on the cold forest floor, and my fingers were digging into the sleeves of my hoodie like I was trying to disappear into them.The silence had been suffocating between us, but I didn’t mind it.I was already at war within myself. My thoughts, my memories and everything about myself were hunting me.My chest felt like it was being crushed from the inside.We found a spot near a small clearing, and Elvis started setting up a fire.He was calm and quiet as usual and his hands moved like they had done this before.He placed our packs near a flat stone and struck the fire to life with a few quick sparks.I stood still with my arms crossed and my eyes on the flames but I was not really seeing them.Everything in me screamed not to be here.“Alright,” he said after a moment, dusting off his hands. “This is where we will leave

IVYI couldn't stop smiling even after I stepped into my tent.The flap closed behind me, but the night air still clung to my skin.My heart was beating fast, not from the run anymore, but from something else I didn’t want to name. I knew what was happening but….I'm sorry, I don't want to acknowledge its presence.I pressed my palm over my chest and sank onto the edge of the bedroll. My cheeks were warm, and I could still feel the wind from the woods brushing through my thoughts like it was still chasing me. I had never felt like that before! I had never felt so free and so light. I thought I was going to get laughed out and judged but instead I was so… me. And it was all because of Elvis. He made this happen.I lay back slowly, staring up at the roof of the tent, tracing the seams like they held answers to my racing thoughts.I was grateful for Elvis. He was a gift and he didn’t make me feel like I was less.Even when I hesitated, even when I almost gave up. He saw me the way I

ELVISI told myself I was acting calm walking side by side with Ivy along the forest path.I felt this was not the right time to act all interested in her. Again, I didn't know her quite well. That has always been my excuse so that I could avoid doing anything that involves me acknowledging the mate bond.I was more like an elder brother to her than her mate and I think I'm enjoying the role too well.The wooden lanterns cast soft light on her straight shoulders and I couldn't help but love the way her dark hair swung around her hoodie.I said the right words to her and I smiled when she laughed. I shared stories to make her forget how tired she felt but inside, I was dying slowly.I was dying in a good way because all I could think about was the scent.She had been washing at the stream when I caught her warm, clean and fresh scent.I couldn't help thinking about it and It clung to me afterward, lingering on my clothes and skin even when I shifted back and changed.I was not the shy
