บททั้งหมดของ Forever Yours, Alpha: บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

~Declan~In the haze of the misery I felt when I lost Serena five years ago, I tried to forget about her by kissing another woman’s lips, hoping it would ease away this longing I felt for my wife. But all I felt when I kissed another woman was bile rising from my guts, turning my world inside out.I savored the feel of Serena’s lips. Her touch brought me back to our wedding night, where I first allowed myself to fully let go and be happy. She didn’t know this, but all my life, I had been trying to live up to my family’s legacy, and it was like being locked in a room with no windows or door to see what other choices I had. I wasn’t given the chance to choose anything for myself because I was next in line to be an alpha to a pack we really didn’t have. It was a curse I had to endure growing up.I hated my life until I married Serena. I was happy, and for the first time since Mom passed away, I wasn’t alone. But it was a short-lived happiness, and I suffered alone for five years again.

~Serena~It was foolish to even think that I could fool everyone inside that room. Spade and Declan were standing in the hallway when I stepped out of the bathroom, two bulky men ready to bombard me with questions about Alister Kaine.The years I spent working with Spade amounted to this annoying access Declan has to my emotions because of the mate bond.They turned their heads in my direction, the morning light that was slowly bursting on the horizon slipping through the open large window of the hallway basked my interrogators in soft, breaking dawn light. Side by side, they were a two-man barricade blocking my only way out. Since when did these two become tandem in hauling me?“What?” I asked, my tone was bored as I plastered my best poker face, then I crossed my arms in the middle, glaring at these towering shifters.“You know Alister,” Declan stated.“Who’s he?” Spade seconded. Spade didn’t need to have access to my emotions to know what was going through my head. He knew the best

Present day~Serena~“Who is this Alister Kaine?” Spade asked from the front passenger seat of the SUV we borrowed from Alpha Seth.Declan was behind the wheels. I sensed that if I took shotgun, Spade would pout like a kid in the backseat. I don’t know what was up with him. I thought he was already on Declan’s side since he told him about the oblivion, now he’s acting like a jealous boyfriend. But then again, Spade was a complex being. He does things that might look out on the whim, but he has a bigger intention in mind.“Someone I don’t wanna talk about,” I murmured and focused my gaze on the window, looking over the city as we passed by.“You understand that we need to know who we are up against, right?” Declan butted in.They were working against me again using that good cop, bad cop strategy.“I can handle Alister Kaine. You handle his minions,” I stated firmly.Spade and Declan exchanged glances. I don’t know which version of the love-hate relationship between these two I liked b

~Declan~“Seth and the others will be here soon,” I said, shoving my phone back into my jeans pocket.When I promised to help Seth with this case, I expected hunters would be our worst enemies. I thought hunters killed those girls, but the bodies drained of blood and bite marks on their necks were something hunters don’t do. The blood bags inside the fridge answered the bodies drained of blood, but what about the bite marks? Are there really vampires in this era?Growing up, we were taught that vampires were already extinct. Their lifestyle of drinking blood wasn’t easy to hide from humans. They were hunted down a century ago, and no one has ever had an encounter with one since.“Why do you think they need the girls’ blood?” I stood beside Serena. She had been glued to this spot for some time now. I wondered what was on her mind. This was a huge development in this case. Shouldn’t she be happy?“It’s what he does,” she grumbled. Her tone was gloomy and detached.“Alister?” I still don’

~Serena~Crimson liquid swirled towards the drain, a contrast to the pearl white shower floor at Spade’s apartment. I don’t know how I got here, but I know where I’ve been. Alister is dead, for real now, and he can’t come back from the dead anymore, but the bastard didn’t leave without ripping my heart into pieces.My daughter is alive.Was it really just a plot? Alister would spit out any lies just to save his skin.The skin on my fingers was wrinkled from staying too long under the shower. The water had gone cold and run clear a long time ago. The stain of Alister’s blood on my fingers was history.I turned the shower off and dried my skin, stepping out to my room with the towel wrapped around my body. My stomach growled as I got dressed in a white loose shirt and joggers. The clothes I brought with me for the job of finding whoever killed the girls at Alpha Seth’s pack were still inside my duffle bag. I stared at it, lost in my thoughts. Who would’ve thought of a scheme like Alis
