All Chapters of Tailored For Mr Alpha's Lust : Chapter 221 - Chapter 228

~GiaMy lashes fluttered open. It was Levi that woke me. To be precise… it's his heart beat pounding under my cheek. Strong. Steady. Alive.Through the bond, I felt him strong more than ever, and then he stirred just a little, perhaps afraid to wake me up. But the exact second he realized I was awake. I felt his relief, his calm, like warm air settling around me."Morning," he murmured, voice rough with sleep."Is it morning?" I looked around. There were no windows here to tell."Almost dawn, I think." His fingers brushed through my hair. "How do you feel?"I checked my body. The ache was still there, but duller. My side still throbbed, but not sharp anymore. And beneath all that—"Different," I said. "My wolf feels steady. Not distant. Like she's sitting right beside me instead of behind a closed door.""Mine too. I’d forgotten how whole it feels." He breathed out slowly. "I missed this."We stayed quiet for a while. But I could feel him thinking. Turning something over in his mind

~GiaSomeone was running outside the house.Levi was already awake beside me, his body tense. Through the bond, I felt his alertness. His concern."What's happening?" I whispered."I don't know. But something's wrong." He was already moving, pulling on clothes. "Stay here. Lock the door behind me.""Like hell I'm staying here." I got up too, ignoring my still-healing wounds. "We're bonded deeply, remember? Whatever's happening, we face it together."Through the bond, I felt his conflict. His desire to protect me warring with his understanding that I was right. We were partners now—both responsible, not one shielding the other."Together then," he conceded. "But stay close."We emerged into the hallway to find it filled with wolves. Guards. Elders. All moving with urgent purpose.Garrett appeared, his expression grim. "We have a situation. Alan's supporters—Derek and the others who sided with him—they're trying to flee pack territory. But they're not going quietly.""What do you mean?"

~MadisonI stood at the edge of pack territory, a single bag slung over my shoulder, watching the sunrise paint the sky in shades of gold and pink.Beautiful. Deceptive. Too calm for the way my life had fallen apart."You have until the sun is fully risen," the guard said behind me. Not unkindly, but firm. "Then the banishment takes full effect. Any wolf who sees you on pack lands after that can enforce the exile. By any means necessary.""I understand." My voice was hollow. Empty. All the fight had drained out of me days ago when they'd dragged Alan's body from the challenge circle.Dead. Alan was dead. And with him died all my dreams of becoming Luna. Of having power. Of mattering.Now I was nothing. Nobody. Just another exile with nowhere to go."For what it's worth," the guard continued, "I'm sorry. About how things turned out. You weren't as bad as Alan. You were just... misguided."Misguided. That's what they were calling it. As if falling in love with the wrong wolf, believing

~Gia"It's bloody hot." That was my first comment the moment my eyes went past the window. Outside.'If this is the sun's way of congratulating me I'll rather not have it.'"Luna see it as the sun's blessing," one of the persons helping me get dressed commented.I’d been awake since before sunrise, nerves twisting my stomach even though the baby kept kicking like nothing was wrong. Today wasn’t normal. Today everything felt like it was shifting under my feet. Today I stopped being just Levi’s mate and stepped into something heavier. Something real.“You need to eat,” Madeleine said as she brought in a tray. She’d been with me all morning, brushing my hair, setting out things, breathing whenever I forgot to. “You can’t stand through that whole ceremony with an empty stomach.”“I can’t keep anything down. Baby or nerves, I don’t know which one is the problem.”“Try anyway. A little.” She sat beside me. “Gia, you’re going to be fine. You always handle things even when you think you can’t
