Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Alpha King Begged His Omega to Come Back: Kabanata 161 - Kabanata 170

(Sarah's POV)Jason stood stiffly in the private healing chamber, lingering near Emma's bed as though trying to shield her with his presence. His expression was guarded, carefully neutral, but I noticed the slight tension in his jaw. It was a tell-tale sign—Jason was putting on one of his performances again."Emma's situation has been... challenging," Jason began, breaking the suffocating silence in the room. His voice was calm, but there was a certain edge to it, like he was measuring every word.I crossed my arms and fixed my eyes on him, waiting for whatever carefully crafted explanation he was about to deliver."I learned about her pregnancy during my recent trip to Brooks Pack territory," he continued, sparing Emma a brief glance. She lowered her head but kept her fingers protectively over her rounded stomach, as if shielding the unborn cub from the world."And?" I pressed. My tone was sharper than I intended, but I didn’t bother softening it.Jason sighed heavily, his hand

(Aria's POV)Watching Sarah stand strong against Jason's excuses gave me a strange sense of pride. Despite the lies and everything she had faced, she was determined not to let herself break. But beneath the pride was a gnawing ache in my chest—a fear for her future.I couldn't stop thinking about what would happen to her after I was gone. Jason already showed signs of deceit. Who would protect her when my time ran out? The thought pulled at my mind like dark clouds over a clear sky.Sarah noticed my distant expression as we stood outside the medical center. She tilted her head and then playfully waved a hand in front of my face."Aria? Hey, stop that!" she said with a grin.I blinked at her, startled. "Stop what?""That look!" she said, nudging my shoulder lightly. "You always get this serious, worried look when you're thinking. Careful, you might get wrinkles."A small, surprised laugh escaped me, even though the worry in my heart remained. "I can't help it. I'm just..." I hesi

(Aria's POV)Dr. Reed sat across from me, his demeanor calm, but the faint tension in his silver-burned features betrayed his unease. The sterile scent of the medical center felt sharper after Whitney Stone's aggressive encounter. My mind replayed her sneer, her venom-filled words, and the mockery in her tone."I’ve caused too much trouble," I murmured, keeping my voice low. Guilt clawed at my chest.Dr. Reed looked up from the clipboard in his hand, his beta wolf presence calm, even soothing. "It wasn’t your fault, Miss Aria," he said firmly. The weight of his words settled on me, but his tone wasn’t unkind.Still, I couldn’t ignore what I’d seen. Whitney’s threats weren’t empty, and Dr. Reed had taken the brunt of her dominance displays to shield me. "That’s not true," I countered gently. "If I hadn’t stepped in, she wouldn’t...""Enough," he interrupted, his voice soft but firm. His gray eyes met mine, steady and unreadable. "It’s part of the job. Handling wolves like her isn’t

(Aria's POV)The sterile scent of the pack medical cabinet filled my nostrils as Dr. Reed carefully placed several vials of wolfsbane-enhanced medication on the desk between us. My fingers trembled slightly as I reached for them, the glass cool against my skin."These should help manage your symptoms for the next few weeks," Dr. Reed explained, his voice clinical but gentle. "The enhanced wolfsbane properties will strengthen your heart temporarily."I nodded, trying not to think about how many "next few weeks" I had left. My hands moved automatically to my small pack pouch, searching for silver coins."How much do I owe you?" I asked, keeping my voice steady.Dr. Reed shook his head firmly. "Nothing. These are just basic healing herbs."I frowned, recognizing the distinctive purple sheen of the liquid. These weren't basic herbs—they were specialized wolfsbane-enhanced medications, rare and undoubtedly expensive."Dr. Reed, I know what specialized pack medicine costs. I can't acc

(Aria's POV)I couldn't breathe. The silver essence in the water seared my insides, intensifying the pain already radiating from my failing heart. My vision blurred as they finally released their grip on my head, allowing me to pull back from the basin.For a moment, there was only the sound of my desperate gasping. Then my chest constricted violently.I doubled over, my body convulsing as I started to cough. Pink, frothy liquid spewed from my mouth, splattering onto the restroom floor. It wasn't just water – the foam had a disturbing metallic sheen to it, the silver essence mixing with something from deep within my body.One of the guards stepped back, his eyes widening. "Miss Stone, I think she's coughing up blood..."Whitney's satisfied expression wavered momentarily. Silver poisoning could be fatal, and even she didn't have the authority to kill an omega without consequences.My knees buckled as another coughing fit seized me. More silver-tinted foam spilled from my lips, cre
