Lahat ng Kabanata ng THE ALPHA WHO SAVED ME WITH HIS MATE BOND: Kabanata 171 - Kabanata 180

MagnusI bit back a smile at the look of utter fascination playing across Astrid's face as she watched Meredith do a dramatic twirl and an exaggerated bow."My name is Astrid Tau; I'm the most awesome, the strongest, and the fairest of them all."I breathed out a laugh and tightened my arms around Astrid."That's genuinely very disturbing," she said in response to Meredith's parody, even though her lips had begun to curl up in a smile slowly. "Also, I do not sound like that at all.""Sure, you do," Meredith replied as she straightened from her curtsy and moved to sit at the foot of the bed."Why are you… me?" Astrid stuttered, still clearly shaken by the fact that she was staring at herself from an entirely different point of view."Ah, I just wanted to get a taste of what it feels like to be an alpha's daughter."She rolled her eyes playfully and made to sit up from my arms, but I held her back."Hope you met my brother."Meredith's smile vanished, and she scowled distastefully."Are

Magnus"Sure, buddy," I drawled sarcastically, clearly calling him bluff."Darius, I need you to leave," Astrid stated, "right now.""And I need you to keep your mouth shut while I handle things here!" he retorted vehemently.I moved swiftly before she barely had enough time to try and restrain me."Don't you dare use that tone with her again," I seethed, "do you understand?"He sneered at me without a word.We were standing so close together that my instinctive bet on us exchanging blows grew exponentially. I saw Meredith slink closer to Astrid and grab her hand, "Let me know if you need me to try and subdue them," I heard her mumble."When have you ever needed my permission to use your powers?" Astrid joked, but it came out flatter than she had probably intended it to."This is much different because it's a serious conflict between two of the most important people in your life,"I blinked rapidly and swallowed hard at the emotions I felt from Meredith's statement, just as Darius lau

Magnus"She didn't mean it. She definitely didn't mean it." Those were the words ringing in my head repeatedly as I sped down the road. Her words hurt, but I guess that's what happens when you care deeply about someone; you feel everything they do or say to a larger extent, and it was even more prominent because of the special situation between her and me."Fuck!" I swore as I quickly pushed down on the brake to avoid hitting a car that had suddenly pulled to a stop in front of me. "Sorry!" the young man called out, and I had to bite back the bitter words I was about to spew at him as I stepped on the gas.How could she not see that I was just defending her from her toxic and manipulative brother? I knew she didn't need my help dealing with him, but the urge to protect her had increased significantly. I would literally do anything for her, and yet… I took a deep breath and loosened my iron grip on the steering wheel as I started to feel the slight indentations my fingers had made arou

Astrid"Hello. I answered brutally. Magnus had called me earlier at home in front of my father's peering eye. "I will call him in the office." I had thought."Your voice sounds somehow," Magnus answered from the other end. It was ironic. Since his voice sounded pale"Well, that's because you called me right In front of my father." I snapped. "Like right in front of Bina Tau," I emphasized, hoping he gets the message and how easy it is for covers to be blown. A great thing he didn't even notice the Pendragon scent oozing out of me.""Oozing." Magnus seemed offended by the use of the word. "I thought Meredeth shielded the scent?" Well, Darius nearly choked on its last night. " I could feel him getting tensed from the other end. "He kept asking what was oozing out of my room," I said. Purposely using the word again."Why do you keep using the word oozing? Do I smell that much?" He snarled from the other end of the phone."You're reading meanings, Dom." I shortened his name. Hoping he wo

Astrid"What's going on here?" Magnus's mother asked, her eyes wide in surprise.Magnus took in a deep breath. "Mum, this isn't what it looks like.""Oh, but it is." She replied. "I'm not blind enough not to see that you are kissing the daughter of your father's enemy."She stepped into the elevator before it closed and stood in between both of us."I need to know everything." She said, her composure returned."Know what, Mum?" Magnus asked, his voice a little shaky.She glared at him. "Are you going to keep treating me like a fool, or do you want us handling this in your father's ward? Because trust me, I don't mind both."I pursed my lips together and stared at Magnus, who mouthed, 'Should we tell her?'I shook my head at him. Telling his mother could go two ways; She could either be on our side and keep this a secret, or She would go straight to Mr. Pendragon instead and tell him everything, who, in bitter spite, would tell my father. It would be one whole mess."Is something going
