Lahat ng Kabanata ng THE ALPHA WHO SAVED ME WITH HIS MATE BOND: Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

ASTRIDThe sound of the horse's hooves against the dirt path was almost soothing, but the tension in my body wouldn't allow me to relax. I sat before Magnus, his powerful arms encircling me as he held the reins.His body was solid against my back, a wall of strength that made me feel small and fragile in comparison. His breath was warm on my ear, and I could hear the steady beat of his heart,As the horse trotted on, I felt myself growing drowsy. My eyelids became heavy. I leaned back against him, feeling the hardness of his chest, and my head found a place to rest on his shoulder. His scent, a mix of pine"Magnus," I whispered, my voice barely audible over the soft thuds of the horse's hooves."Hmm?" His voice rumbled through his chest,"Thank you," I managed, though I wasn't even sure what I was thanking him for—perhaps for just being here.He didn't respond with words, but I felt his arm tighten slightly around me. The gentle sway of the horse, combined with the warmth and security

ASTRIDAs I stood there, surrounded by the backpack and as they bowed to me in unison, I wasn't sure how to feel, but it was a surreal moment, one that I had thought I'd ever experience.And for the first time, I felt I truly belonged to Magnus's Pack.As I scanned the crowd, I could tell that not every pack member was present, but those who were seemed genuinely happy to see me.Some of them approached me cautiously with sincere happiness and relief.So Magnus had been telling the truth when he said the backpack had missed me.It was hard to believe, though, as I had done practically nothing for them.The guards stopped some people from coming closer as Magnus was weary of the growing crowd.So they screamed their gratitude over to her. "Luna, welcome back!"It forced a smile to my lips as I enthusiastically waved back at them.The people who got past the guards made their way to me.One of the first to approach me was an older woman, her silver hair braided and wrapped around her he

ASTRIDThe days went by quickly, and the night of the full moon was almost upon us. I hadn't been counting, but I was here about two weeks, and some days had passed since I and Magnus returned to the pack.And not one single day out of those did I feel empty or lonely.He was always around, handy…considerate even.And he had also begun to smile and laugh more. It was almost as if he had ultimately been rebranded before.It was not completely changed, though, because there had been instances where the stubborn, firm-toned Magnus had come out. But at least now, he was ready to listen without interrupting and compromise when needed."You truly are gorgeous, Milady," Samantha complimented as she stepped back after tending to my curls and separating them into two long braids."You flatter me well," I muttered gladly, turning to give her a kind smile."It is no flattery, Milady… fact, you look even more radiant than before."I stood from the chair, the smile still on my face. “Thank you, Sa

ASTRIDSamantha and another servant told me what happened when Cayon's knock rang out."The alpha wants you to come with me," he'd said calmly, but I looked at the scratch on his face to know that calm was the last thing he felt.And as we all rushed downstairs towards Magnus' office, I could already tell something was happening."He wouldn't let me hit a woman," Cayon muttered."Does she deserve it?" I asked, and he quickly nodded."Yes.""Then I'll do it."I barged into the room, prepared for the worst, only to find a red-faced woman with thick, dark hair thrashing my husband's office."Finally!!" She bellowed, turning to face me with wild eyes."Who are you?""Someone you should be afraid of!" She retorted, and I flinched as some of her saliva flew out and straight at my face."Get out!" I ordered as I approached her, my heart slamming against my chest like a hammer.Her eyes blazed with feral intensity and defiance as she launched herself at me, her nails clawing at my face.I dod

AstridI lay there, my breath still ragged, my heart pounding in my chest. My body ached in the most satisfying way. Magnus’s arms were wrapped around me. I turned my head slightly to look at him. He was watching me, his deep blue eyes soft, filled with a tenderness that made my heart swell. I reached up, tracing the strong line of his jaw with my fingertips, committing every detail to memory—the way his stubble tickled my skin, the slight curve of his lips as he smiled down at me. I wanted to hold on to this moment forever. "Are you happy?" he whispered, his voice low and husky, sending a shiver down my spine. "I am," I replied, my voice barely more than a breath. "I’ve never felt more... complete." Magnus’s smile widened, and he leaned down, capturing my mouth with his. The kiss was slow, deliberate, his lips moving against mine with a softness that c
