Semua Bab Hunted By My Mate; Craved By The Alpha Supreme : Bab 71 - Bab 80

~AlaricFor a long moment, Kyra just stares at me and I hold her gaze for as long as it lasts. Finally, she diverts her gaze and mumbles something inaudible, but I take it to be an acknowledgement of my promise."About that back ache..." I change the topic of the conversation, which earns me a sideways glare from Kyra.She is already far along and I have been worried to see she is yet to show a bump, but after being examined by Sera, Kyra and the child are perfectly healthy and it seems we only have to be patient.Something in me craves the sight of that bump, that physical evidence of my child growing in her so everyone knows without a doubt that she is mine... even if Kyra doesn't know it yet."I'm pretty good with my hands..." I begin to offer but Kyra is quick to turn me down."I think I'll pass." She says blankly.I have to admit, that hurt. Since our return from the island, Kyra strongly avoids every semblance of intimacy and I fear it's because I revealed to her that Carla was

I have managed to evade him.It has been days since Mikos' arrival at the Silver Tower, and in that time, we have not crossed paths at all. I have not seen so much as a shadow of him.I know he is here. Sometimes, I can pick up traces of his scent in the halls, faint, but unmistakable. But he keeps his distance. He leaves early in the morning for work, under Rhett's reluctant escort and doesn't return until late in the evening, well after my bedtime.His presence, however, still looms over everything. With not one but two powerful Alphas in the house, the Silver Tower is a whirlwind of activity. Alaric is being tugged a dozen ways at once, guarding Mikos and the other Alpha from the mysterious assassin, offering advice on the ongoing investigation into the two assassinations, attending video meetings with the council, running his company, and yet still finding time to train me whenever he can.It is impressive and I admire him for it.No, what I feel is more than admiration.Each mor

The moment I step through the door, the cold air wraps around me like an accusation.And there he is.Alaric stands just beyond the entrance, half-hidden in the shadows, his posture rigid, his expression...My stomach drops.He heard it all.The realization hits me like a crashing wave, knocking the breath from my lungs.His eyes are what breaks me the most.That calm, unwavering strength he always carries is still there, but beneath it, there is a deep storm in those piercing eyes, and something more that sends pure anguish churning through me.Doubt.And something dangerously close to betrayal.Like he can't believe I stood there, listening to Mikos at all.Like he can't believe I had entertained even a second of my past when Alaric is standing right here. Now.My heart twists, my throat tightening painfully."Alaric..."I'm not even certain of what to say.I don't even know how to explain what I can't even begin to unravel myself.I refused Mikos. I shut him down. I made it clear t

The early morning chill greets my skin as I step out onto the courtyard of the silver tower. The shadowed woods stretches out before me, or what is left of it after the wildfire. My body is well rested, but my mind is not. Sleep didn't come easy, Alaric's touch still lingers on my skin, the weight of his gaze branded into my mind.Mikos has already phoned three times today. And left me about a dozen texts, I am beginning to contemplate handing my phone back to Cedric's custody, keeping it seems to be doing me more harm than good.I glance at the phone as it lights up once again, the screen glows with his name, and I switch it off without thought. Maybe it is a little petty, but the fact remains that I am no longer his to call. And him doing this is selfishly demanding my attention which he has no rights to.The air shifts behind me.Milo is a few feet behind, his silence as quiet and watchful as ever. Alaric has made it clear when he dropped me off that Milo will now stick to my side

"Come on, there's so much you have to see." Sera says. "The plans, the venues... the food, what else? I can't remember it all. But they'll fill you in on everything."I'm not certain how I got myself into this position, but since I offered to help with the Lunar ceremony, Sera had gotten busy, placing one call or the other.I didn't understand what she was up to, until now, when she just announced to me that she fixed a conference call with some of the other Lycan females involved in planning festivities such as this.Now these Lycan females flew in from silver towers all over the continent, and I hardly even know the agents in this tower. I know the Lunar ceremony is a big event, but I've never been in a pack as widespread as the Royal Fang Pack. There's just one Everdale Pack, meanwhile there are silver towers all around the continent with agents that all answer to Alaric.What is worse, Sera already told them about me. By her words, they are eager to meet me, though I'm not so sur
