บททั้งหมดของ Let The Alphas Fall For You: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

VANDERI didn’t even know why I’d brought it up here— the cigarette packet flicking back and forth between my fingers. It wasn’t lit, not even opened, and I shouldn’t. I was trying to quit, after all.The rooftop was still enough to calm the storm in my head, though it was one step of self-control away from just lighting one up and being done with it. It wasn’t like I was addicted or anything, I could stop if I wanted to.The door behind me creaked open, but I didn’t turn as Kael’s steady footsteps resounded closer. “I thought you were trying to quit,” Kael’s voice cut through the silence.I exhaled slowly, pressing the packet between my thumb and forefinger. “I don’t have a reason to quit, like you.” Kael didn’t respond right away. We both knew what the silence meant. He stood next to me, gazing at the open, velvety sky. Kael had always been the only one to check in without pushing or prying.Seconds slipped by, time taking up space between us. “Thanks, man,” I mentioned, glancing

DALAMorning came rather too quickly, and I barely slept a wink, not with Arya’s outburst still playing repeatedly in my head. Regardless, I had no choice but to start my day, though wondering if she was still mad at me.There had to be a way I could make it up to her. My phone buzzed on the nightstand beside me, ringing while my aunt’s name was displayed as the caller. She was relentless with her calls, and I ignored every single one of them. I turned my phone off and pulled myself out of bed.Serving breakfast was my responsibility, as always. It didn’t feel like I was just Arya’s maid for some reason, but I didn’t mind. This family clothed and fed me, and I was suddenly in college. It was only normal for me to try to do right by them.The smell of eggs and toast filled the grand dining hall as I moved around, setting plates and pouring juice with the hopes of getting away before they arrived. Perhaps I was too slow. The family arrived individually, sitting at the long, ridiculousl

DALAI did not see myself in a high-end boutique with Lady Arya, flipping through racks of dresses that probably cost more than my entire life savings. Yet here we were. The smell of expensive perfume clung so tightly that I choked. My mind reeled whenever I saw a price tag, but Lady Arya reacted utterly differently.She was in her element, floating between sections, plucking designer gowns from hangers and draping them over her arm like they weighed nothing. The store attendants practically tripped over themselves, trying to please her. I, on the other hand, felt like a fish out of water. How could I even pick a thing here? “This one,” Lady Arya declared, grinning as she held up a floor-length emerald gown against me. “Or…no, maybe this one! Do you like it?” She swapped it out for a shimmery gold dress that looked like it belonged at a royal ball.We were NOT attending a royal ball. I arched my brow, perplexed. “You do realize I’m only going to a school party. Not the Oscars?”L

DALAThe guard raised a mask like it was some royal invitation, but I shook my head with the firmest “no thank you” I’d ever mustered.“Compulsory,” he grunted, like I’d just committed a federal crime.“I said no,” I repeated, firmer this time, heat already creeping up my neck. I didn’t care if it was compulsory. I wasn’t about to walk into a mystery party with my identity outed. Ayra stepped up before I could work myself into a full-blown argument. “If she doesn’t want it, then she doesn’t want it,” she snapped, standing in front of me.“She has to wear—”“She doesn’t have to do anything,” Arya snapped again, her thin voice edged with venom. “I suggest you figure out who I am before you lose your job over a stupid mask.”The guard blinked, his eyes locking onto hers, yet he zoned out. It was obvious that he was calculating, probably doing some mental search like is this the Lady Arya? The one married to the old Alpha?A few seconds passed, and his eyes widened a little with recognit

KAINancy finally peeled herself off me with a flirty little, “Don’t go too far,” before disappearing toward the restroom, blowing me a kiss I had already had enough of for one night.I exhaled hard, finally able to catch my breath and move a muscle without Nancy breathing down my neck or pressing her perfumed tits into my face.She was not exactly annoying. She was… fine, just little too everywhere all the time like glitter, and had worn enough perfume for all the ladies in here. I was debating whether I had time to ghost her before she came back when two very familiar faces cut through the blur of sequins and smoke. Knox didn’t believe me when I said Vander could have an angle with this Omega. He should totally see them now.The vision cleared out, and their full faces came into view. Dala, looking pale and spooked as she’d just been chased through a cemetery, locked eyes with me first. “Have you seen Arya?” she asked urgently.“Arya? What? Wait, Arya’s here?” I looked at Vander,
