Semua Bab Curse of the Alpha demon: Bab 131 - Bab 140

SERENA’S POVI took the piece of paper from Adrian’s hands and looked at it carefully. There was a name written on it in old-fashioned handwriting. Below the name was a year, but the date was so old that it made me gasp.The paper said it was from thousands of years ago. I looked up at Adrian with confusion.“I don’t understand,” I said. “What is this?”Adrian sat down in a chair and gesture for me to sit down across from him. I did still trying to understand what the book is all about. My eyes pressed on the details but nothing seems to make sense. I raised my eyes to look at Adrian and i could tell that his face looked sad and tired, like he was carrying a heavy weight on his shoulders.“That’s my real name,” he explained. “And that’s the year I was supposed to get married.”I looked at the paper again, then back at Adrian. “Supposed to get married?” I still didn’t get. I couldn’t even calculate the year because it makes no sense. “Let me tell you the whole story,” Adrian said, ta

RYKER’S POVI followed Donovan out of Isabella’s room and into the hallway. Once we were standing outside with the door closed behind us, Donovan’s expression became very serious again.“I need you to tell me exactly what happened at that party tonight,” he said in a low voice. “And please don’t lie to me.”I felt my anger starting to rise again. “So, the explanation I gave you in the room is what?” I raised an eyebrow. “It doesn’t fit with Isabella explained. I have this feelings that you’re hiding something.” E explained. “Are you saying that your Alpha is lying to you now?”Donovan’s eyes widened in alarm and he quickly held up both hands. “No, no, I didn’t mean it like that at all. I sincerely apologize for how that sounded.”“You better watch the tone you use when speaking to me, Donovan. Unless you want to lose the tongue that keeps running your mouth and getting you in trouble.”He swallowed hard and nodded quickly. “I understand completely, Alpha. I’m just very worried about

RYKER’S POVI sat in my office staring at nothing, but my mind was racing with thoughts. The rogue’s words kept repeating in my head over and over again. A vampire meeting with an Alpha. Planning something together.I knew immediately that the vampire had to be Lucan. There was no doubt in my mind about that. But what was he planning? And why was he working with other pack leaders?The more I thought about it, the more worried I became. Lucan never did anything without a reason. He was smart and calculating. If he was making deals with other Alphas, it meant he was preparing for something big.My biggest fear was that whatever he was planning would somehow involve Serena. She was living in his house, married to him… I couldn’t even finish that thought. What of his scheme somehow affects Serena? I cant even imagine what will happen. But what if his plans involved using her against me? What if he was going to hurt her to get back at me for all the times I had interfered with his busine

RYKER’S POVI was still asleep when my phone started ringing loudly next to my bed. The sound cut through my dreams and pulled me back to reality. I reached for the phone without opening my eyes, hoping whoever was calling had a good reason for waking me up this early.“Hello?” I said, my voice still thick with sleep.“Ryker, you need to listen to me carefully,” Alec’s voice came through the phone. He sounded urgent and excited at the same time.I sat up in bed, suddenly wide awake. “What’s going on?”“Serena is missing. She’s gone from Lucan’s palace.”My heart stopped beating for a moment. “What do you mean she’s missing?”“I mean she’s not there anymore. All of Lucan’s guards are desperately searching for her. They’re running around like crazy people trying to find her.”I jumped out of bed and started looking for my clothes. “How do you know this? How sure are you?” I asked hurriedly. “I’m certain, Ryker. I saw it with my own eyes. I’ve been watching the palace like we agreed, an

SERENA’S POVI walked away from the bus stop, trying to put as much distance as possible between myself and Ryker. But I could hear his footsteps following behind me, steady and determined. He wasn’t giving up.My mind was racing as I walked. Should I go back to Lucan’s palace? The thought made me feel sick. After everything Adrian had told me, after learning the truth about what Lucan was doing to me, I couldn’t face going back there.But I also couldn’t keep running forever. I had nowhere to go, no one to turn to. I was completely alone in this world.As I walked down the empty street, I made a decision. I was done being used by people. I was done being lied to and manipulated. I was done letting men control my life and make decisions for me.Lucan had forced me to drink his blood, knowing it would kill my babies. He had pretended to care about me while slowly destroying everything I had left. He was just as much of a monster as Ryker.And Ryker… Ryker had killed my father. He had t
