Forsaken by the Alpha의 모든 챕터: 챕터 51 - 챕터 60

The door to the study closed with a click, quiet and deliberate. It was not loud. It carried weight. The kind of sound that stays in the room and does not go away.Damian did not move far from the door. He stood there for a moment his shoulders squared, his jaw tight, his back partly turned. It was like he needed a second to get himself together. To calm down. To put distance between what had just happened and what it has meant.Behind him Liam was not still. He moved around the room walking back and forth. He looked like he was thinking hard and could not stop. "This is not good, " he said quietly, running his hand through his hair. "This is not good."He turned around and paced a little more "How long?" he asked suddenly. "How long have you known?" Damian did not answer. He did not even turn around.Liam let out a breath. Shook his head. "No, No, No ... don't do that" he said, walking towards Damian. "Do not be quiet like it is nothing." Still Damian didn't mutter a word.Liam. Turn

The door closed behind Selene with a thud that hung in the air longer than the sound. She didn't turn right away, her arm still faintly aware of where the guards had held her. It didn't hurt, it just reminded her that she hadn't walked in willingly. The room she stood in was clean, tidy and too perfect. That made the tension inside feel sharper.Seraphina moved into view slowly. She didn't speak right away. She just studied Selene with an unreadable look that said more than words. Then she spoke, her voice precise. "You went into the Alphas room.”Selene blinked, caught off guard. Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion as she tried to steady herself. "I didn't…..”“Uninvited" Seraphina cut in her tone, still controlled but firmer. She cut through Selene's explanation before it started.Selene hesitated, her breath tightening. "I didn't mean to….I just,”“And the moment you did " Seraphina continued, taking a slow step forward "something changed.”The air seemed to respond to her movement.

The corridor was not the same when Selene stepped out. She felt it away. The stone floor was still beneath her feet, the walls and narrow windows were still the same. The servants were still moving quietly.. but something was different and she felt it immediately. Not in what she saw but in how everything responded to her presence. Conversations that had been low and steady before she entered now thinned into silence as she passed. People stopped talking when she walked by. Eyes lifting briefly before dropping just as quickly. They looked at her then away.She kept walking, not slow, just steady.. She felt like she was being watched. There was space around her which was not there before. Two Omegas were talking at the end of the corridor. When Selene approached one of them looked up. Whispered something to the other. The second Omega stiffened slightly, her gaze flicking toward Selene, then away.“…that’s her.”The words were low.Barely audible.But Selene heard them.She wasn’t sur

Selene tried to move like nothing had changed.Head lowered. Steps steady. Hands occupied.Routine.That was the safest thing right now, routine. If she kept moving, kept doing what was expected, maybe the weight sitting in her chest would ease. Maybe the looks would stop. Maybe the whispers would fade into nothing.But they didn’t.They followed.Not loud. Not direct.Worse, quiet enough to slip through everything else.She kept walking.Another turn. Another corridor.It didn’t stop.A group further ahead this time, three of them. They didn’t even bother lowering their voices completely.“Is it true?” one of them asked, her tone carrying a sharp edge of curiosity that didn’t bother hiding itself.Selene stopped.Slowly.She turned, her brows drawing together slightly, confusion flickering across her face. “What?” she asked, her voice quieter than she intended.The girl stepped forward just enough to close the distance—not aggressive, but not friendly either. “That you’re cursed,” sh

The stone floor was rough on Selene's knees as she scrubbed away. The bristles of the brush dragging harshly against the surface making a lot of noise in the hallway.Her hands hurt already and her fingers were red from pressing hard but she kept going. The guard was standing behind her watching her. He had not said a word since she started but she knew he was there so she kept her movements steady, slow, measured, and obedientIt had become routine. Work, silence, watchful eyes and lately it had felt like relief, because at least when she worked, her thoughts didn’t have space to wander. At least that is what she told herself.. Today her hand slipped a little because her mind would not be quiet.Then she heard his voice, low and calm. Very clear. "You have been distracted lately." Selene's hand stopped for a moment before she made herself move again. The brush was scraping harder now like she was trying to scrub the memory.She had stood in front of him before, unable to look him i
