Semua Bab FATED TO THE MIDNIGHT ALPHA : Bab 91 - Bab 100

~RAELIN~The moon is high up in the sky, fractured by thin clouds as we drive through the forest grounds in silence.No headlights. No words. Just the caution of watching our backs and the quiet hiss of our tires over leaves and stones.Sometimes, the blood pumping from my heart to my head feels like a distorted radio frequency in my ears, but it doesn't make me dizzy. Nothing will ever make me dizzy right now because I need to fucking focus.We are at the edge of hell now. Near the place where Ryker conducts his savage business. And tonight, he won’t be alive to wake up tomorrow morning.Our convoy slows to a crawl before halting finally. Cal taps twice on the comm. I signal for full stop."We move on foot from here onwards," I say through the comms. "Everyone, break formation. And stay safe."After the order, the doors of our pickup trucks open and shut without sound. The forest around us is dense. We form small groups as planned and begin to march quietly through the trees and f

~ RAELIN ~“Alright then, let's start the party.”Soon after he speaks, his bones begin to crack as he rises from his blood-stained wheelchair. His head cocks to the side as he glares at me through venomous green eyes that are quickly changing into a bright orange.He is shifting.His leg that I shot is healing, but also twisting into something else. I take a step back as I watch the monstrosity he is becoming, my heart banging against my ribs and waiting to see the ugliness he will become.He smiles.Muscles tear and split as his transformation continues. His skin darkens. Claws protrude where his fingers once were. His orange eyes are blood-rimmed and burning with the hunger of murder. His arms jerk, his spine keeps elongating and forming mumps throughout his back, and then, his face completely distorts into what can only be described as a nightmare.Not a wolf. A fucking nightmare.Whatever his twisted doctor likely pumped into his veins has turned him into a full-fledged monster.

~KIRA~The wind outside is quiet this morning. Even the trees seem to hush like they know I am about to do something wicked.After taking a sip of my wine, I walk back into my room and shut the door of my balcony. I keep my glass of wine down on my table and take off my coat slowly.Done, I throw it on the bed and kick off my boots.“She is in a coma,” I whisper to myself, dragging my fingers through my hair as I dump on my bed, “Finally… but why can't she just fucking die?”WHY?!I had overheard the information about Layla from one of those stupid, gossiping omegas in the packhouse, always yapping like a broken faucet. She hadn’t even noticed me nearby in the supermarket when she spilled the news to her fellow omega companion.Hearing that Layla is still alive nearly made me want to march over to the next shelf and strangle that yapping gutter of a mouth, but instead of doing so, I clutched the tomato can in my hand so hard that it nearly burst, and I had to stop myself from hurling

~ RAELIN ~ "Kira Gandall was here, Alpha. She tried to force her way in."The moment the guards said her name, I knew something was wrong. And when they say again that a nurse just entered here to run a check on Layla's vitals some minutes after Kira left, I sensed a gut feeling that something bad is about to happen to my Luna.And fuck, that gut feeling wasn't wrong because after barging in, my heart drops.A nurse stands beside Layla’s bed, syringe in hand, the needle just inches from the IV line. When she sees me, the syringe drops from her hand and falls to the floor."Step away from her." I growl, the room already vibrating with the force of my Alpha command as the air shifts.The nurse stares at me, and even though she is wearing a mask and an eye patch, I can feel that something is off about her."Is something wrong, Alpha Raelin?"Her voice is soft, too soft, and falsely sweet. She also sounds a bit different from the usual two nurses that come in here to tend to my Luna.I t

~RAELIN~After leaving the cells, I enter the packhouse and shut the entrance doors behind me.My knees are buckling. I am suddenly feeling so tired. So tired and so dizzy. But I manage to make it to the stairs and climb up.When I arrive at the corridor leading to my room, I almost feel like my eyes are about to go blind. My heart is pounding like a pair of invisible hands are squeezing it too tight, gripping so hard that I can’t pull in a full breath.My lungs revolt. My ears ring with Kira’s last shriek.‘WHAT DOES THAT BITCH HAVE THAT I DON’T HAVE?!’I can still feel the anger and rot in her voice. Her madness.Her love.No.That was not love. That was possession in its vilest form. A crown of knives waiting to be forced onto my head if I ever allowed her to ruin me.Drawing in a ragged breath, I stagger forward, blindly gripping the wall beside me like it is the only thing keeping me from falling.Cold sweat coats my skin.I can’t breathe. I can’t fucking breathe.My hands shake
