Lahat ng Kabanata ng Let The Alphas Fall For You: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

KAI I frantically looked around like someone would magically appear with a solution. Arya slumped heavier against me, muttering the same thing. “I can’t feel my baby…” Shit. I didn’t have time. I scooped her into my arms and raced toward the entrance, weaving through the crowd and ignoring how everyone turned their heads like I was the drama they’d been waiting for. “Hey, you really gonna be fine,” I assured her even though the words just slid off the top of my tongue like a recitation. Confusion had its claws deep around my throat, and fear made every step I took heavier than it should have been. My phone buzzed in my pocket. Dala or Vander, maybe, but I couldn’t stop. I reached the parking lot and scanned the cars like a madman. It would take minutes to call my driver, which was precisely what I didn’t have. Arya’s warm arms tightly wrapped around my neck, tears spilling from her eyes. In seconds, my gaze fell upon a silver convertible with a group of girls lounging insi

KAELMy head hurts.That was the first thing I registered— this wicked, throbbing pain behind my eyes like my brain had been tossed around in a blender overnight. I groaned and shifted under the sheets. It wasn’t my room. That much was clear.My eyes cracked open, and the ceiling above me came into view, completely unfamiliar. My mouth tasted like bad decisions and tequila, and I sat up slowly because any faster and my skull might actually implode. I was shirtless, just boxers. Great. This must be one of Knox’s hotels. How I ended up here? I had no idea. I glanced to my left and nearly jumped out of my skin when someone squirmed in the space beside me. Looking closer, I realized it was Gabriel, the last person I’d expect to be here.My best friend, since always. Since matching superhero costumes and sleepovers where we’d talked about crushes—his on Jason from track, mine on no one in particular. I stared hard. He was still asleep, curled slightly toward my side of the bed. I blink

ARYAI can’t let him go.The thought echoed so loud in my head, it was a physical thing, pounding against my skull. I couldn’t let Vander leave this house or watch Dala be dragged away like she was nothing.My hands twisted the bedsheet in my lap as the memory bled into me. It was years ago, at a summer camp organized by the packs but obviously for the privileged families.Then, my father hadn’t gained steady footing in the pack’s politics. I was a nobody with braces, giant glasses, and a target so obvious it was like I wore a sign on my forehead. I wasn't a conventionally attractive kid.The kids, as horrible as their families, circled me, laughing, poking, and one of them trying to yank my glasses off.I thought I’d die of shame before Vander appeared to cook up a storm, telling the kids off and threatening them all that if they touched me again, they’d have to deal with him. He was rough and reckless even then, with a black eye and a crooked grin, but to me, he was… everything.I’

KNOXI’ve done worse.Worse things. To worse people. I have done things that would keep most people up at night, gnawing at their souls, but I always slept just fine.When did that end? Because sleep seemed to have eluded me. The moment I shut my eyes, her face was the first thing I saw.Those huge eyes staring at me with so much fear in them. That wasn’t the kind of person I wanted to be to her. Every single time after that, all I saw was the way her eyes filled with so much fear and hatred toward me. Even the way she slammed that damn door in my face like I was some kind of monster still stuck to my memory, and maybe I was.I wouldn’t usually mind that. But this—this tightness in my chest, this constant ache gnawing at my ribs wasn’t just guilt. Funny, it could be but o wouldn’t even know what guilt feels like anymore. All I knew was that I couldn’t stop thinking about her. I don’t even remember what I said that night. I was drunk and out of my fucking mind. But I remember to

DALAWhen I opened the door, the last thing I expected to see was a maid.Maybe not the last thing, but it was a cheerful maid. That rarely happened, especially not with Agnes. Her brows were creased in a permanent frown, and she always looked utterly irritated by everyone’s existence, except now she was smiling at me.“Hi, do you need my help with something?” I asked immediately, oscillating between a smile and a straight face.“One of the young Alphas has requested your presence. Meet in the yard in 10 minutes.”My brow shot up. “Who?”“You will find out.” Her smile didn’t falter. It was becoming more and more unsettling. “10 minutes.”I barely kept from rolling my eyes. Knox was the only one who would do this. The urge to say no made my tongue a playground, but it wasn’t Agnes I would be saying no to. “Okay.” She nodded, and I closed the door, leaning against it to catch my breath. I wasn’t mad at Knox anymore, and he’d apologized.I just didn’t want to be cordial with him. Not r
