All Chapters of The Stripper Alpha: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

ZAHRA-ROSEEven after two days, I refused to leave my room. It felt safer there. Somehow, I felt better not seeing anyone’s face all day, except the pack’s chef who brought me food.I was still haunted by the image of that man’s face, twisted in death. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw him hanging. I felt like I had betrayed him a thousand times over.A choking sound escaped my throat, and I tried to stifle it, desperate to quiet the storm of pain inside me.“You didn’t know he was going to kill him,” Eira said softly, her voice like a gentle balm, her way of comforting me. But her words barely touched the weight pressing on my chest.“But he was angry with me. I can feel it. And that’s why he did what he did,” I whispered. It was the truth I couldn’t deny.Deep in my mind, I knew I had done something wrong. Had he sensed Asael’s kiss? That couldn’t be true.“I’m tired of you sulking, Zahra. Get up. We need to get out of this room,” Eira urged, pacing restlessly. She tried to convinc

ASHVIN 𝓗𝓐𝓡𝓥𝓔𝓨The rest of them slowly filtered out, leaving just the two of us in the small living room. Silence settled like a fog, thick and tense. My feet moved restlessly as I paced, my wolf Zen snarling beneath my skin. All I could think about was grabbing her by the shoulders and shaking some sense into her, shaking her until she understood the gravity of what she had done.Coming here. Alone. Unprotected.Did she forget she’s the Luna of one of the most powerful packs in the North? Did she think no one would notice the energy that bled from her, raw, divine, unmistakably Alpha-blooded?“Funny,” she snapped, folding her arms across her chest. “I could ask you the same thing.”Her glare was sharp as a dagger, but if she truly knew the storm she had unleashed just by stepping into that club, she wouldn’t be looking at me like I was the problem.Zen growled in my head, a low rumble of frustration.“You’re the one who left the pack for a week, Ashvin. Don’t forget that.”Yeah

ALPHA ASHVINHolding her as she cried against my shoulder was exactly what I expected. Zahra-Rose tried to be strong with added Luna-strength but losing one’s family is a wound even the fiercest wolf cannot endure alone.“How did you know?” Her voice was muffled against my shirt, her tears dripping hot against my neck as she sniffled hard.Running my hand slowly along her back, I breathed in her scent. Moonfire and earth. She belonged here, in my arms, and for once, the bond wasn’t the only reason I wanted her close.When I didn’t answer right away, she lifted her head, her eyes red-rimmed but sharp, searching. That pain that clung to her gaze squeezed something inside me so tight it almost stole my breath. This wasn’t just the mate-bond tugging me, it was something deeper. Something that I never wanted to see her break.She stepped back, refusing to meet my eyes. She slammed her walls up so quickly I couldn’t hear her thoughts through the bond anymore.“She will open up when she wan

ALPHA ASHVINThe night air was sharp against my skin as I crouched low, my warriors forming a circle around me. Every instinct screamed at me to turn back, to hold Zahra-Rose in my arms and shield her from this, but I couldn’t. Not when her family’s lives were tied to this one mission.Her scent still clung to me, making every step heavier. Through the mate bond, I could feel her emotions thrumming inside me, even though this realm dulled most of our wolf gifts. Her fear. Her desperation. The way her soul trembled at the thought of her sister in chains, it cut through me like a blade.Steady, Zen rumbled inside me. You are Alpha. Lead them.He was right. This wasn’t just about rescuing prisoners. This was about showing the humans that Moonshine wolves were not prey. No one touched my Luna’s bloodline without answering to me first.I lifted my hand, signaling my warriors. Muscles tensed. Breaths stilled. Below us, the clearing was crawling with men, torches burning around a crude stone

My whole body felt heavy and empty when my eyes snapped open.“Oh, you’re alive,” Eira’s mocking voice echoed in my mind, her tone laced with amusement. “At least you’re alive.”I tried to scoff, but my head felt like stone. I couldn’t remember a thing. My body ached, every muscle burning like I had been dragged through fire.When I shifted to sit up, a hand steadied me. Words rushed at me, but they sounded distant, muffled, like I was underwater.“Zahzah.”The name still struck me. That was what only my family called me. Who….?I blinked harder, forcing my vision to sharpen. A smiling face beamed at me, her eyes bright with unshed tears.“About time,” Maliah grinned, clutching my hand as she perched on the bed beside me.I looked around, finally recognizing the familiar scent of cedarwood and the faint hum of pack energy through the walls. The Alpha pack house. My room. I was back in my realm.“Took you long enough to figure that out,” Eira teased, her laughter tumbling through my he
