บททั้งหมดของ Alpha Liam: บทที่ 91 - บทที่ 100

Darius:I wasn’t a fool.Alaria had her guard up now, sharpened and bolted in place. Approaching her again so soon would only make her dig her heels deeper.She wasn’t like Claire, easy to twist or bait. No, Alaria required finesse. Precision. Patience. And she required a lot more manipulation than just promises that would be thrown out of her.So I didn’t go to her.I called for the girl instead.The girl who managed to momentarily twist the game to her favor. She might have failed at some point, but she still managed to get a little result. She just needed the right push. She was still inexperienced anyway.Sienna came hesitantly, her eyes darting around as if she expected a trap at every turn. Smart of her. At least she wasn’t completely useless. Her arms were crossed over her chest as she looked at me, trying not to show me fear, though I sensed it, I always did.“Do you know how to walk without acting like you're about to be eaten?” I asked dryly. “Is this how you walk around in t

Alaria:I didn’t remember the walk home.Because no matter how hard I tried, all I could think about was the fact that he had dared not only to send someone to spy on me, but to even think that I would betray them.My ears were ringing. My hands were shaking. My heart, my heart felt like it had been cracked in half.After everything. After the slow trust we rebuilt. After I let him in again. After I let him hold me. Kiss me. Touch me.He still didn’t believe me.And the worst part about this was the fact that it was him who had initially hurt me and not the other way around. If it had been me who had hurt him, if it had been me who had cheated, I would have said that I had done something to make it worth the doubt.The nerve it took to accuse me in front of Anastasia’s school… to yell at me like that?I shut the front door behind me and just stood there, my fingers curled into fists.Katie's eyes met mine and I glared at him, my heart racing against my ribcage. “He sent you, didn't he

Alaria:The second I stepped into the infirmary, the tension hit me like a brick wall.Sienna was pacing barefoot, her long hospital gown trailing slightly behind her as she tugged at the IV taped to her arm. Amelia stood stiffly by the wall, arms crossed, clearly trying not to explode. One of the nurses looked like she was one second away from calling security.“What is the meaning of this?” I asked the second that I walked inside. “Your commotion, whatever it is that you're doing, can be heard a mile away. What do you want?”Sienna’s eyes snapped to me, her eyes widening in surprise.“Luna Alaria,” she gasped, a wave of desperate relief flashing over her face. “Please, just let me talk. No one is letting me leave, no one is allowing me to do anything. I am just trapped.”I didn’t flinch. “I believe that it is for a reason. You are healing and once you have healed, you can leave. If we allow you to keep roaming around, you're just going to keep opening up your stitches. The nurses do

Liam:I shouldn’t have followed her.Deep down I knew that it was the wrong thing to do.I knew that from the second I saw her shoulders tense when she sensed me behind her. Alaria didn’t want to be around me, hell, she probably didn’t even want to see me right now, but I couldn’t stay away.I needed to try.And that was why I still followed her, and I was still going to keep following her.She didn’t look back. Her steps were purposeful, clipped, and fast across the garden path behind the house, like she was hoping I’d get the hint and stop.But I didn’t.I wasn't going to."Alaria," I called, my voice quiet but carrying. “Please stop.”She kept walking."Can we just talk?"Still no response.I caught up to her pace, walking beside her in silence for a moment. Her face was stone, calm, composed, but I saw the cracks if I looked close enough. The way her jaw was clenched. The way she blinked more than usual, like she was fighting everything back."You don’t have to say anything. Just…

Darius:I hated waiting.More than that, I hated being watched while I waited.The walls of the guest house felt like they were caving in, suffocating with the scent of false elegance and desperation. Every hour wasted was another missed opportunity. Every passing glance from Liam or that damn Beta of his was a reminder that the timing wasn’t right.And Claire?Claire was the cherry on top of my damn misery.She stood at the bar, swirling a glass of red wine she wasn’t even drinking, her mouth twisted in a smirk that had long since lost its charm.The woman was simply enjoying the show.“You know,” she said, voice too light, too amused, “I thought you were better than this. For a man who did not like failure, I did not really expect you to be giving up so easily. But then again, you might have realized what I was going through.”I didn’t answer.Because I knew that if I did, she was just going to keep finding an underlying meaning and now I did not want to deal with that.“Following h
