Semua Bab Curse of the Alpha demon: Bab 121 - Bab 130

SERENA’S POVAfter Adrian asked me those strange questions about being hypnotized and becoming a vampire, I couldn’t stand there anymore. I rushed back to my room without answering any of his questions. My heart was beating so fast that I thought it might burst out of my chest.I didn’t know how to describe Adrian’s personality, but I knew for certain that he was making me very uncomfortable. There was something about the way he looked at me and the questions he asked that made my skin crawl.I started pacing back and forth in my room, trying to calm myself down. But the more I thought about Adrian’s words, the more anxious I became. What did he want from me? What was he planning?As I paced around my room, the familiar pain that I had been experiencing lately came back. But this time, it was much worse than before. The pain felt like fire burning through my veins, starting in my chest and spreading throughout my entire body.I doubled over, clutching my stomach as waves of agony wash

RYKER’S POVThe next day, I woke up early and decided to scout around my territory. It had been a long time since any rogues had tried to cross into my land, and I wanted to keep it that way. A peaceful territory meant a safe pack, and that was always my first priority.I spent the morning walking through the woods that marked the edges of my territory. I checked all the usual spots where rogues might try to sneak through. The scent markers were still strong, which was good. Any wolf who came near would know that this land was claimed and protected.The forest was quiet except for the sounds of birds and small animals moving through the trees. I liked these peaceful moments when I could just walk and think without anyone bothering me with pack business or politics.As I walked, I found myself thinking about Serena again. I wondered what she was doing right now. Was she safe? Was Lucan treating her well, or was he hurting her? The not knowing was driving me crazy.I shook my head and t

RYKER’S POVEvening came faster than I expected. I stood in my room, adjusting my suit jacket and checking my appearance in the mirror. I didn’t really want to go to this Alpha gathering, but Alec was right about it being good for pack relations.I walked downstairs to wait for Isabella. She had insisted on being my date for this event, and even though I didn’t like the idea, I had agreed to let her come with me.When Isabella finally came down the stairs, I had to admit that she looked stunning. She was wearing a long black dress that fit her perfectly, and her hair was styled in an elegant way that made her look like a movie star.For just a few seconds, I found myself staring at her. She really was beautiful, and I could understand why other men found her attractive.But then I remembered that I didn’t have feelings for her, and I forced myself to look away. I couldn’t let her beauty distract me from the fact that my heart belonged to someone else.Isabella smiled when she saw me l

RYKER’S POVI ignore Isabella and started walking faster as the noise and chattering of the hall began to fade away in my ears. My senses were completely focused on following that terrible smell and finding whatever was causing it.That’s when I saw him. There was a man standing near the back of the room, partially hidden behind a pillar. At first glance, he looked like any other guest at the party. He was wearing a dark suit and appeared to be holding a glass of champagne.But when I looked closer, I could see that something was very wrong with him. Blood was dripping from his fingernails and staining his clothes. His eyes were completely black, not just the pupils but the entire eye. Red veins were visible under his skin, trailing up to his face like dark rivers.The most disturbing part was that nobody else seemed to notice him. People were walking right past him like he was invisible. They were laughing and talking as if nothing was wrong.I realized immediately what I was looking

SERENA’S POVThe kicking pain had stopped, but now I felt a terrible headache starting. The migraine was so bad that it felt like someone was hitting my head with a hammer over and over again.I pressed my hands against my temples, trying to make the pain go away. But instead of getting better, something even worse started happening.I felt something warm and wet running down my face. I touched my cheek and looked at my fingers. There was blood on them.Blood was coming out of my eyes. I could feel it dripping down my face like tears, but it was thick and red.Then I felt more blood starting to come out of my nose. It wasn’t just a little bit either. It was flowing steadily, dripping onto my robe and the floor.I was so scared that I wanted to scream again, but I was afraid someone would hear me and come running. I didn’t want anyone to see me like this.I grabbed a towel and tried to clean up the blood. But as quickly as I wiped it away, more blood would appear.I looked at myself in
