Semua Bab The Doctor's Alpha Mate: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Hope's POV.The room is so quiet I can hear the distant ticking of a wall clock and the hum of electricity in the light above. Everyone is staring at Emory — but I can’t take my eyes off her. My best friend. My confidante. A wolf. A spy.My stomach twists into a thousand knots, but I keep my voice steady. Barely.“And how the hell were you supposed to do that?”Emory doesn’t answer immediately. Her jaw tightens, her hands fidget. She looks like she’s about to be sick. I want to feel sorry for her, but the fury in my veins doesn’t allow for it. Not yet.She takes a breath, and when she speaks, her voice is quiet — but devastating.“Whatever I had to.”The words land like a punch to the chest. I stumble a step back.“What does that mean?” My voice shakes, and I hate it. “Kill me if I turned out to be dangerous? Poison me? Snap my neck in my sleep?”Emory flinches. “Hope… I didn’t want that. I didn’t want any of that. But I had to be prepared.”The room shifts — Velara straightens. Talon

Malakar's POV.I open my eyes slowly, reluctantly. Early morning light streams through the open curtains, casting a soft, golden hue across the room. The first thing I become aware of is Hope standing in front of the dresser, holding a blue shirt up to the light. She considers it for a moment, then tosses it over her shoulder. The same fate befalls a red one, a white one, and a black one — until she finally settles on a pale green shirt.She pulls it over her head, smoothing the fabric before running her fingers through her hair — attempting, with little success, to tame the wild waves. I watch her, quietly, captivated by how effortlessly beautiful she is, even in these small, mundane moments.“Good morning,” I drawl, my voice still thick with sleep.She glances at me in the mirror, a sensual smile curving her lips. “Morning, handsome.”“You’re in a good mood today.” I smile, propping myself up on one elbow.She shrugs lightly, playful.“What are you up to?” I ask, my curiosity piqued

Hope's POV."Where are you taking me, Malakar?" I ask with a giggle in my voice as I trail along behind Malakar. He's holding onto my hand as he leads me through the forest blinfolded."You'll see soon enough. Patience my sweet mate." His voice filled with playful wonder.My stomach turns once, twice with excited curiosity. I honestly don't know what's gotten into him today, but I like this side of him... a lot - playful, mysterious, excited. It's a side that I haven't really seen before, not surprising at all with everything that's been going on. I mean, I first met Malakar because he had a silver bullet lodged between his ribs and needed a skilled pair of hands to remove it, and ever since that fateful day, our lives together have been one battle after the other - whether it be a physical one or an emotional one. We haven't exactly had much time to just enjoy being with one another.Malakar suddenly stops and steps in behind me. I can feel the warmth radiating from his body -just be

Lucian's POV.I barely make it down the front steps of the pack house when Hope comes bounding up toward me - a suspiciously smug smile on her face, and Malakar on her heels."Good morning, Lucian." She drags every word out slowly, her voice filled with laughter."Good morning, Hope." I mimic her tone as I regard her with an arched brow.When I look over her shoulder at Malakar, my brother is wearing the most stupid grin I have ever seen in the history of stupid grins... ever.Something is definitely going on with the two of them. I suddenly feel like I'm the punch-line to some inside joke the two of them came up with. I turn my attention to Hope, who is staring at me with that same smug smile on her face - her eyes actually glowing with something that I can't quite place."What's going on with the two of you?" I ask, more irritation in my voice than I intended.Hope squeals, and before I even know what's happening, she wraps her arms around my neck and pulls me down into a tight embr

Emory's POV.I have this incredible aching void in my soul that I can't seem to shake, no matter how hard I try. I've had it ever since I walked away from Lucian after I told him that we're fated mates - I also told him that he can choose. He doesn't have to feel the bond if he doesn't want to.Maybe that was a mistake...I haven't been able to think about anything else since I saw him. He consumes every waking moment of my days. He also finds me in my dreams. My heart aches deeply as I long for his presence. My hands tremble because they want to know what the touch of his skin feels like. My lips quiver with a deep desire to feel the warmth of his mouth. My eyes want to look upon his handsome face. My ears want to hear the melody of his sweet voice. My soul yearns to be close to him once more. Every fibre of my existence screams for my mate - for Lucian.I often regret walking away from him that day. I should have stayed. I should have told him how I feel - what I want. I still remem
