Lahat ng Kabanata ng Forever Yours, Alpha: Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

~Serena~Lia…Is it really true that she lied to me? We were friends, almost like sisters, but I guess everyone from Declan’s pack couldn’t be trusted back then. Their alpha hated me and my family, and Lia’s loyalty to Oliver must have been stronger than our friendship.We will know the truth soon enough. I am not the naïve Serena that she betrayed five years ago. Backing me up is five years of hatred, pain, and suffering.Declan, sitting behind the wheel, had been eerily silent since we left Nurse Kerri’s place. His silence was deafening. The purr of the engine and hum of the air conditioning were the only tune inside the car. Even our mate bond was eerie.“What’s on your mind?” I couldn’t take the silence lingering over us anymore.“Lia is like a sister to me,” he murmured. Even his voice was tipping on the edge of uncertainty and hesitation. “She is very important to you,” I said with a bitter taste coasting in my mouth. This could be the mate bond, but just the thought of Declan t

~Serena~If I didn’t know Lia by heart, I wouldn’t even recognize her as the three men in jeans and shirt walk her out of the apartment. Those three men looked like they were on a morning stroll, but I knew trouble when I saw one. Their eyes were scanning left to right now and then, assessing every person that passed by them, looking for a threat. Their hands are stiff, ready to pull out the gun tucked in the waistbands of their jeans and shoot any danger on the spot. These men are no ordinary people.Lia’s red hair was now blonde, the disheveled ends sticking out of her gray beanie, an odd piece of clothing in this humid and slick weather. She walked like a clothes hanger in her oversized hoodie and baggy jeans. The finesse and attitude that she was known for growing up were replaced by a gloom and solace. Surrounded by three bulky men as if she were a prisoner who needed guarding, she walked with her chin tucked on her neck. Her strides were slow and calculated. An image of the you

~Serena~My mind went blank as Declan pulled me in for a kiss. I was water thrown outside on a winter night, freezing in the blink of an eye.I kissed him outside because I thought the man behind his shoulder would look the other way if I did. Kissing makes people uneasy, but that didn’t exactly happen. In fact, Mario is now taking us to his boss, which Declan agreed to, which I asked him about… what’s the plan? This was his plan…Kiss me. Kiss me more. I want more kisses from him.Oh, what the hell is happening to me? I should punch his pretty face. I should have thrown him out of this car, but I did none of that.I cannot deny what my body desires, and there will come a time when this bond will swallow me whole, like it’s doing now. It was a hopeless battle, fighting what was meant to be. This is so wrong, but it felt so right.His kiss was careful, hesitant. He made sure I knew I could step out of this situation if I wanted to. But do I want to? I wanted Declan despite all the ange

~Declan~We could smell him the moment we slid out of our car. He reeked of rotten garbage and a decaying body. Serena paused in front of our car, waiting for me to stand by her side. In a usual setting, a rogue would be alarmed in having an alpha in his proximity, but this one grinned wider when he saw us… when he saw me.Serena reached for my hand, lacing our fingers together as she squeezed mine. This rogue is no ordinary rogue. Serena knew he could hear us from this distance, and using words would be dangerous. She isn’t terrified, but guarded. There was a sense of danger drifting in the air, and she could feel it too.“See?” Mario piped in as we climbed the steps up onto the porch. “I told you I saw the ghost, Bossman.”Ghost?Serena maintained her composure, showing no hint of panic before our host.Marquee pushed off from his seat, offering his hand for a shake. At this proximity, I was already getting dizzy from his rotten scent. My instinct is to rip off his head and be on m

~Serena~As a werewolf, everything around me is heightened. The throbbing lights, the raving music, the echo of the bass on the floor, the scent of alcohol, sweat, smoke, and sex, especially the unhinged atmosphere permeating the air of the club. This is the last place I would be. In fact, I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for something much bigger than my peace of mind.I don’t know how Lucas did it, but Declan and I waltzed through security like the calmest flow of the river. No questions asked. We were treated like regular folks who would enter Club Haze just to get off some steam.“Why are you two using comms, anyway?” Lucas asked through the tiny earpiece slotted in my ears. “Aren’t shifters supposed to have a mind connection to each other?”I have yet to ask Declan how Lucas knows so much about our kind. It was the least important thing on his mind right now, but he knows a lot, that’s for sure.“We are not from the same pack,” Declan answered. Lucas blew a sultry ‘oh’ as a respo
