All Chapters of THE ALPHA’S RELUCTANT BRIDE: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

The rain had not stopped since dawn, turning the earth soft beneath the wolves’ feet and filling the air with a deep, heavy scent of soil. The wind carried a faint chill, brushing against the walls of the pack house like a warning that refused to fade.Tessa stood by the window in her room, her fingers tracing a slow line across the glass. The storm outside mirrored the one inside her chest. She could still feel Darius’s presence from the night before, the way his shadow had lingered in the hall after he left. She had almost called out to him, almost broken the silence but she didn’t. The game was still unfolding, and every word, every pause mattered.The knock on her door came softly. Too soft for a guard, too gentle for a messenger. She already knew who it was.“Kellan,” she said without turning around. “You shouldn’t be here.”He entered quietly, closing the door behind him. His clothes were still damp from the rain. He looked different from the last time she had seen him, older so

Few days had passed or maybe three days since Tessa had collapsed in the courtyard, on the spot where her body was trembling as though the storm itself had stuck into her veins. Now she lay in one of Darius rooms at the far end of the mansion. The air there smelled of treatment and wet drips. The rain slide against the windows each night, soft but unrelenting, as if the world had refused her from doing her duty.Nobody in the pack spoke much about what happened. The pack would walk through the halls with lower voices, their curiosity pressed beneath fear maybe the fear of being possessed as well. Only Ember would visit her daily, though even she sometimes stood by the door longer than she stayed inside. Tessa’s eyes would open but not focus; her mind, once sharp and secretive, now wandered like smoke. The healer said her memory was fractured, some pieces of herself scattered somewhere her body could no longer reach or hold on to.Darius forbide anyone from asking her questioning. “S

The full moon was shining out brightly from the outside, but suddenly it became dim, the night felt heavier than usual, Ember hasn't gotten any rest earlier and she feels she might not even get it as well at night, over the treetops were bird's setting to take their rest and mother bird guiding her babies to bed, the dim light from the moon now shines a little through the curtains of Ember’s room. The air blew in gently make her feel every touch of it on her skin as she kept on looking the bird far across, she wished she was still home, with her sister and her friends, she wish she never got to be used to settle in for some peaceful agreement, she sighs heavily, sharp and quiet. Though the pack had been restless through out the whole day… and there has been whispering, staring at one another, giving eye's contact, using hands as signs, people pretending not to be afraid, alot of them acting like everything was alright, while deep down there’s a war within them…Ever since the council m

It was already raining before they could reach the mansion. It was not that heavy, just drizzling but enough to make the outside look blur..The pack house was just quiet it was too quiet for what they’d been through, stepping forward to the pack Darius took in a very deep breath.. And exhale in one sec..he was really tired indeed, it was really obvious, to everyone he's the alpha but to him, he was just the ordinary Darius he knew himself to be. The Darius that is still trying to figure things out alone.Ember also walking beside him side by side, every first step he took, she takes the other one, they walked theirself through the long hall way, with their shoulders brushing now and then at each other. None of them said anything to each other, not a word just silence and breathe walking through each other. The guards had scattered to their posts taking their position once again in the pack, some went to the west wing, other went to call back Gamma and the rest if the guard from their

It started like any other night. The air around us was heavy with the little sound of crickets making noise outside the mansion. Darius still looks peaceful as well, even though we had a little burst out the other night, but he never took any of it to heart. That alone was enough to make me stay with him longer than I should have, watching and memorizing the rare calm in his face. And wondering how come he became so easy.But then sleep came for me..And when it did, it wasn’t gentle, I fell deep into it, and I didn't realize how long I had slept so peacefully for many days without any dreams, but then.I found myself standing in the middle of the forest again, looking at my surroundings as though it was a familiar place as always.Then I heard the whisper. Soft and trembling, yet close enough to send shivers through my veins.“Ember…”I turned slowly to the place where the voice was coming from again. And she was standing there.Velise.She was never to be mistaken, I had grown famil
