Semua Bab I Fell For An Alpha: Bab 11 - Bab 20

The morning was already heavy with heat as Jacob made his way down the winding path toward Mike’s cabin. He hadn’t seen Mike in a while, not since when Jacob had told him he was going to the Finth’s. But if there was anyone who could help him decode the symbol’s true meaning, it was Mike.The cabin sat quiet at the edge of a small clearing, half-swallowed by the trees. Smoke no longer curled from the chimney. The front door was shut, and the woodpile by the side was stacked high, freshly chopped.But no one answered when Jacob knocked.He waited, then walked round the cabin, peering through the window.The coffee pot was still warm. Boots missing from their usual place by the door.Jacob stood back, rubbing the back of his neck.“Hunting,” he muttered. “Of course.”Mike was always chasing deer or boar this time when he was still with him he figured, more meat meant more coin before the first frost. He’d probably be back before sundown, hauling game on his back like he always did Jaco

Kliara felt the world tilt beneath her feet. The night air, heavy with the scent of damp earth and crushed rose petals stung her lungs with every ragged breath. She couldn’t look away as Jacob struggled to keep standing after being pierced by so many arrows. She watched, paralyzed, as more arrows found their way into Jacob in a deadly rhythm.Her fingers curled into the lace of her gloves until the fabric bit into her skin. Guilt and relief warred in her chest in equal measure, relief that her father’s brilliant plan had worked, that the monster they hunted yet also the same person she loved could be silenced.She wanted to scream, to throw herself at her father and beg him to stop. But her limbs would not respond as she stood still, a single tear traced a burning path down her cheek as she realized the cost of loyalty to her bloodline.Time slowed as Jacob’s gray eyes, wild with pain and concern not for himself but for Kliara, found hers.If it was possible to speak with the eyes th

Jacob’s wounds were almost completely healed as he ran as fast as he could to warn Mike. He have always had it in his mind since the day Mike helped him and took him in that this day would come, that was while he never told Mike his plans despite all Mike’s efforts to make him talk.He got to Mike’s but before going in, he watched from a distance to scout out the surroundings, seeing no movement, he approached Mike’s cabin.“Oh no, I’m too late” Mike said, after seeing that the door to Mike’s cabin had been broken into. He made his way inside and discovered that everywhere had been trashed as though those responsible were searching for information.But his sharp sense of hearing caught a noise coming from one of the rooms. He traced and walked into the room the noise was coming from but after inspecting it, he found nothing.Jacob now was filled with guilt and worry concerning Mike’s whereabouts, he had no idea if William's men had got to him or if Mike had spotted them on time and ma

While unconscious, Kliara had remembered when she took Jacob to go teach her how to shoot a bow like he does at the place she said was special to her, immediately she figured it out, that was what Jacob had meant by saying I will wait for you at your special place as she slowly regained consciousness.Kliara’s eyelids fluttered as if woken from a long, uneasy dream, a delicate tremor at first before she blinked, slow and uncertain. Her throat was dry, her limbs heavy as if wrapped in lead. She tried to lift an arm but it failed as she was too weak to do so or anything at all, she felt a hand warm and steady against her own and as she looked to know whose it was, she saw it was her mom.“Mom?” she rasped, her voice scarcely more than a breath. Her mother, seated in the wicker chair beside the bed, straightened at the sound as a wave of relief washed across her countenance.“Sweetheart, you’re awake,” Thelma whispered, pressing a kiss to Kliara’s forehead. Her voice trembled just enough

Jacob was back at Moonveil alongside Mike, Mike watched as Jacob approached the Lunar fortress. Immediately the guards standing guard outside the gate, having got to figure out it was Jacob, they dropped to one knee, claws touching the ground, heads bowed low.Jacob slowly nodded as the gate was opened and he walked inside. Mike was a bit surprised, he knew Jacob was an Alpha and a great one at that, but what he couldn’t figure out was why he was walking straight into the lunar fortress. And why would the guards salute him like that.‘Is he a royal guard or spy to the Moonlord’ not so sure anymore, Mike thought, Jacob noticed that Mike stopped and wasn’t following him anymore instead he remained at the gate looking straight at Jacob.“Why are you standing there, Let’s go” Jacob told Mike.Mike, having his reason for not following Jacob in, was a bit reluctant to obey Jacob, when Mike was still at MoonVeil before he left for the human world, it was a well known fact that only Alphas
