บททั้งหมดของ Scarred By My Alpha: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

31Alruin It got so bad that Ginger had to beg me on Malric’s behalf to revoke the bond.His body had almost turned completely blue now, and was as stiff and cold as a statue. It really put me in a precarious situation. Seeing him in such a terrible state, shivering, coughing out profusely and occasionally calling out for me softly made my heart prick with guilt and empathy. At some point, I had been so tempted to go over there and do as Ginger vehemently begged me to, but it only felt like I would be dragging myself two steps backward in life. Why did I have to be the one to give in? I wasn’t the one dying anyway, he felt all the pain, he knew the risks and then, for a cause that was hopeless, he still chose to endure it, even though it would kill him. I walked out of the cave and decided to search for the herbs again. I had to harden my heart, shut Ginger out completely and only do what was right. This was right, being heartless was the just thing to do. With the herbs, I would

Alruin Lorak!Oh, thank goodness!I was so relieved to finally see him again! Goddess! At some point, I thought I had lost him back there. I jumped at him the moment I saw him without caring that others were there, and for a moment, I forgot about Malric completely. He embraced me warmly, resting his chin over my shoulder and stroking my hair gently. “Alruin,” he called softly, making the lob of my ear flutter as that warm, manly cadence wafted into my ears. “Thank goodness that I found you.”I hugged him even tighter, “I was looking for you, Lorak. I was so scared,” I mumbled, resting my head on his comfortable chest, enjoying the warmth of the moment. “I’m so glad that you’re okay.” He didn’t reply.I finally pulled away from him and looked into his warm eyes, “What happened? I tried to reach you so many times after the first storm.” The second-in-command of Lyra’s pack rushed past us and with a few others to Malric. I noticed that Lorak’s eyes rested on Malric for a few sec

Alruin“Protect the Alpha!” The second in command of Darkmoon exclaimed, his eyes laden with terror. I saw them slowly crawling off the cliffs, their black, soulless eyes blending in with the night. We all clustered into a nervous circle and Malric was right in the middle. He hadn't recovered fully, I wasn't even sure he could fight and that was a disadvantage for all of us. Afterall, he was the strongest. We were surrounded by the bloodthirsty creatures and when they howled simultaneously, the dark clouds above rippled, the ground beneath our feet shook like it had been rocked by an earthquake. With my heartbeat palpitating, I instinctively glanced at Lorak, whose face was already gleaming with sweat, but he wasn’t exactly fazed. His expression was gaunt, determined, but he also had the wisdom to allow himself to embrace fear for these beasts. No one stepped forward to lead the attack, and the Darkmoon soldiers didn't allow Malric to do it either. The beasts were closing in and

Alruin “We have to go, Alruin,” Lorak said calmly, “The Alpha has been locked up in his chambers all day, he is refusing to speak to anyone.” I scoffed bitterly, “He must be turning in his bed with guilt.”“Or grief, or depression,” Lorak chirped in and I frowned at him. Lorak sighed, “Listen, Alruin, you don’t understand the weight that comes with being the Alpha. It can be overwhelming sometimes and all you need is a break from it all. I’m sure that is what he is facing right now.” I nodded and strolled to the balcony, where I had a perfect view of the mountains. “And the men that have died there? What are they facing now, Lo? Paradise or purgatory?”He remained silent as he crossed the room to me. He wrapped his arms around me from behind and rested his chin on my shoulder, “We have to focus on what matters right now, us. Getting everyone home safe. I feel terrible for losing Miguel too, but what has happened has to be left in the past.” I swallowed when I thought about the

AlruinThis was all my fault.I had no reason to be upset at Malric.My heart was racing, Lorak must be so mad at me right now, and justifiably so. I regarded Malric silently, he had opened his eyes now, but he still didn’t let go of me. He smiled wearily, “I knew it was you. You came back.”My eyebrows furrowed slightly, “You knew I was here earlier?”“I wasn’t fully unconscious. I was, before you stepped in. I could feel your presence, and then it was your scent, then through the void of pain and agony I was trapped in, I heard your voice.” He replied and slowly loosened his grasp. “Why did you come back?”I swallowed with a shaky sigh, “I left the windows open. Didn’t want you to catch a cold.” “I would have closed them.”I bit my lip and looked away, “I wish I knew,” I mumbled and walked away from him. The storm was still pretty heavy and the wind, relentless. There was no way I could go out there and head for the pack house, that would only be embarrassing Lorak. “You wer
