Todos os capítulos de THE ALPHA WHO SAVED ME WITH HIS MATE BOND: Capítulo 51 - Capítulo 60

MAGNUSI lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, my thoughts drifting back to my pack. It had been days since I last heard from them, and the longer I stayed here, the more distant I felt from my responsibilities as their Alpha.I couldn't ignore the nagging feeling, which kept telling me I was needed back home. My pack needed me, yet I was torn between my duty and the pull I felt toward Astrid.I sighed, running a hand through my hair as I decided. Today, I would tell Astrid that I was returning to my pack. Even if she didn't want to come with me, I couldn't stay here any longer. My people were my responsibility, and I couldn't abandon them.After a quick bath, I dressed in a simple white shirt and pants as I stepped out of my room. Walking down the corridor toward Astrid's room, I overheard the maids gossiping nearby."Did you see Magnus this morning?" one of them whispered excitedly. "He's so handsome, it's hard not to stare.""I agree," another maid replied, her tone wistful. "But hon

MAGNUS"Magnus, you need to stay away from Astrid for now. Let her have some time to calm down." Atlas's voice was low, a tone of command.I stared at him, anger boiling through my veins. "Are you ordering me around, Atlas?" I shot back; my voice tight with barely restrained fury. "You think I don't know that she needs space? But I can't just—""Yes, I am ordering you, Magnus," Atlas interrupted, his eyes hard as steel. "You have to stop thinking about your needs for once. She's hurting because of you."His words hit me like a blow, igniting the fire in my chest. "And you think this is all my fault? Don't act like you're innocent in this!" I stepped closer to him, our faces inches apart. "She got hurt because you failed to protect her, not just me. I'm sure you were the one who pushed her!"Atlas's jaw clenched, his fists balling at his sides. "You were the one who pushed her. I told you to back off, but I don't remember you listening! If you had just—""I love her!" I roared, my voic

MAGNUSThe steam from the bath filled the bathroom. As I stepped out, I wrapped a towel around my waist. The cold tile beneath my feet brought comfort; I'd been trying to get my head straight, forgetting the hurt, the anger, and the lingering hope that refused to die. But it was impossible when everything in this place reminded me of her.After drying off, I dressed quickly, pulling on the few clothes I had left: a simple black shirt and a pair of worn pants. I ran my fingers through my hair, letting the damp strands fall into place before packing the little I had. The room was already starting to feel too small.I had just closed my bag when I heard a soft knock on the door. My heart leapt. Maybe it was just Lana or someone from the pack, I told myself, trying to calm the sudden rush of hope. But when I opened the door, I was greeted by the one person I least expected."Astrid." Her name fell from my lips, and I was surprised at her presence.She stood there, her gaze drifting to the

MAGNUSAstrid's change of demeanor and mood was sudden, but it was something I'd expected given her past with her family. It had bugged me since Lana told us about the vision, giving me a tough time. I didn't have any reason to care after all; people died every day whether or not others knew it would happen beforehand or not.However, something worried me. Something about this particular vision begged for attention. Lana was a vampire blessed with the gift of a seer, which meant that her visions were much stronger and more interrelated to those through which she saw them.When she saw that vision, she'd been attending to Astrid's wound, and I could assume that there was something about Astrid or her connection to it all that triggered that vision. Whether or not Astrid liked to admit it, she was connected to this. Something about Vesper's death would affect her somehow, and I wanted to avoid that.I watched her as she stood far away, tapping her foot impatiently. She folded her arms o

MAGNUS I could see the jealousy all over Astrid. No matter how hard she tried to hide it, it was clear on her face, that look of fear. Watching her react like that was amusing, and I felt like teasing her more.She finally asked, "Did something happen between you two?"I sensed her desperation and hurt when she asked, but I found it silly. The moment I mentioned Clara, Astrid's countenance had shifted, and she'd become jealous. In response, my expression changed to that of guilt as well. I didn't know if I was doing it right or not, but I just went along with it and nodded. "Yes," I said, "something happened between us."Almost immediately, Astrid's hopeful expression became cold and detached. She looked at me like a monster with horns on my forehead. After a while, she pushed me aside and stood up, then walked away.I laughed at how easy it was to get to her head. "Astrid, come on! I'm just joking with you!" I said, chuckling, but she didn't seem to be convinced."Joking about somet
