Semua Bab FIVE ALPHAS CLAIM HER: Bab 1 - Bab 10

MEET THE FIVE ALPHASCHAPTER ONENova Sterling Point Of View.“Fresh meat is here for the Alphas!” These words pierce me as security drags me through Bloodmoon Academy's gates. My boots slide on the wet concrete, and I almost fall off.Toronto’s skyscrapers glow behind us. The city’s tall, shiny, and sharp glass towers reflect the ever-changing sky. The town's architectural curves and angles appear bold, beautiful, and gracious.Then, five Alphas come out from the academy's woods. Their designer clothes cost more than everything I ever received in foster care.Kieran Mercer steps forward first. He is the CEO heir of The Mercer Group Of Companies. His Armani designer jacket stretches over his shoulders; he has never known hunger.His golden wolf eyes track my every move like prey worth stalking. “Lost little wolf,” he says, caressing my bonding gland and weakening my knees.I pushed him away. “Keep your hands to yourself, Mercer.”Jace Wilder flips a silver coin between his tattooed fin

THE GUARDS ARRESTCHAPTER 3Nova Sterling Point Of View“Your Father ordered us to capture you.” A broad-shouldered man with a scar splitting his eyebrow echoes as guards drag Kieran’s hands behind his back.Kieran fights against their grip, his muscles pressed against his jacket. He fixes his gold eyes on mine, fierce and unyielding. “Stay here.” The guards push him backwards, their hands firm like iron clamps. Snow coils in the air and swallows his scent of cedar. Sloane steps out of nowhere, and her heels sink into the frost. She brushed her lips against my ears, and her breath felt like the wind, shill and sharp. “BloodMoon’s coming.”Then she turns, following the guards, her laughter trailing behind her like a threat. The wind blew a whistle, and a door slammed shut. I was left alone, and the empty courtyard felt like a trap. Should I run and hide? My legs refused to move; they were frozen by fear. My Breath froze in the air.Snow stings my cheeks, sharp as needles. The bond ma

CHAPTER 5 Nova Sterling Point Of View“Hold on, ladies,” Vaughn appears from the shadows like smoke, his polished Oxford shoes sink into the blood-stained snow.“I have a proposal.“ He smiles, twisting his blade with ease. "Sterling, darling, can you be reasonable? Give me the pendant, and I'll disappear all your problems." I spit at his feet. The saliva lands on his left shoe, and a dark spot blooms on the polished leather. Vaughn's smile didn't fade, but his grip tightened around the blade, and his knuckle turned pale in rage.A shadow appears and strikes Sloane down. “Let Nova go.”Sloane’s world tilted in a blur of movement. A cry of pain rattle within her bones. She’s become weightless, staggering backwards like a boneless doll. Her body slams into the snow as she falls.Callan stands over her with his face rippling in anger. He fixed his eyes on me, telling me to run without spewing words.Then he throws me over his shoulder. His hoodie smells of pine and gunpowder and is rough

CHAPTER 7Nova Sterling Point Of View“We are not backing down, not now, not to them." I held my dagger firm. The approaching torches pointed directly at us. Their bearers saw us ready to fight back. Somewhere in the dark between the trees, a Mercer soldier cocked his rifle. The battle has started. Kieran suddenly appears from the shadows and slams his fist into the tree above my head, making me jump. Leaf bark scatters and falls around us. “The necklace is killing you,” he roars. His breath is hot against my face. I pressed back against the rough tree bark, the necklace burning against my collarbone. Its mysterious glow pulsed faster, like the final pump from a dying heart.Between gunshot sounds, I heard Jace shout from somewhere to our left. But Kieran's gold eyes held me frozen; I couldn't resist him. “You don't understand what's going on between us yet?” He said.Another gunshot sounded and interrupted him. This time, the bullet scratches his arms. But he barely blinks. I s

CHAPTER 9Nova Sterling Point Of View“Go jump in a fire!” I kick the nearest coin so hard it strikes Audra's diamond shoe. Audra's fake smile disappears as she matches forward in three steps. Her sickly, sweet perfume made me cough.“You're nothing but,” she hisses in my ear. “A dirty brat, Kieran will forget about by next week.” Her hand delivers a sharp slap across my face. Pain explodes in my cheek. I bit my tongue hard in agony and tasted blood. Kieran roars loud enough to shake dust from the ceiling. He throws off two guards within minutes and appears beside me, his rough thumb gently touching my burning cheek. “Nova” His voice breaks, saying my name.Audra watches us like we are insects under a microscope. “How sad.” She snaps her fingers, and four guards pounce on Kieran, forcing him outside the door. “Take him to the wedding chapel. Use chains if you have to.”When I try to help, a guard punches my ribs. I crashed into the table; my vision swam into darkness.Audra kneel
