บททั้งหมดของ The Wrong Alpha’s Heir : บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

—AVERY— For a second, the room went silent. Even Taylor stiffened in his seat. I could practically hear his heartbeat racing. The waitress, who had just placed our drinks on the table, looked from Damon to me and then quickly scurried away like she sensed bloodshed brewing. “Damon…” My voice came out smaller than I intended.Jessica was right behind him, she turned to Damon with a tight smile. “Damon, you have to calm down, okay? Don’t make a scene—”“Stay. Out. Of. This.” His voice cracked like a whip, and the entire restaurant went dead silent. People turned to stare, forks froze mid-air.Jessica stiffened immediately. Her lips trembled, but she nodded and stepped back, her face draining of color as if she had just seen the devil himself. She moved so far away, she practically blended with the crowd.Damon’s eyes dragged from my face down to my stomach—our child—before snapping back to Taylor. He moved forward slowly, striding toward us, his long legs eating the space like a preda

—DAMON— Her lips were soft… warm. The taste of her lingered like fire on my tongue. My fingers gripped her waist, pulling her closer until her breath trembled against mine. For a moment, nothing else existed. Just her.Avery.My wolf purred in satisfaction, but before I could drown in that feeling, a voice broke through the haze.“Alpha—” The sound sliced into my thoughts. I turned, and there he was. Lucas, standing in the doorway like he’d stepped into something forbidden. His face was pale, his eyes wide.I growled low in my throat, my hands still wrapped around Avery’s waist. “Get. Out.”Lucas froze, glancing between me and Avery. For a second, he hesitated, then quickly walked out of the room.I tilted Avery’s chin, forcing her to look at me. “You can stay here,” I ordered, my voice a low rasp that brokered no argument. “I won't stay out for long.” Her lips were still parted from the kiss, and her cheeks flushed pink. My wolf wanted more, but duty slammed into me like a cold wa

—AVERY—I spun on Taylor, panicking. “Why did you just say?” He moved, pocketing his hands with a relax smile. “You have to walk me, I dont much about the pack. Or do you want me your friend to get into trouble?” I frowned. Why do I feel like hes lying about not knowing much about the pack? Wasnt he the one who sneaked in here? But then, I can't waste any more further or things will become chaotic. “Fine… come on,” I beckoned at him and Taylor nodded.My heart was pounding so loud I could hear it in my ears as I opened the door and tiptoed down the dim hallway, Taylor trailing behind me like a shadow. The cold wooden floor creaked under my bare feet, making me freeze every few steps, terrified someone would hear us. I glanced over my shoulder, whispering harshly.“Taylor, this is insane,” I hissed frustratedly, gripping the edge of my night robe so tightly my knuckles turned white. “You shouldn’t have come here. If anyone finds out—”He smiled softly, completely unaffected by my p

—AVERY—I slammed the door shut the moment Lucas left me inside my room. My heart was pounding so hard it hurt. The walls felt like they were closing in on me, and my chest… my chest burned with something I didn’t want to name.Damon’s face… that look in his eyes. I had never seen that kind of rage aimed so close to me. It wasn’t just anger—it was disappointment, like I had betrayed him. Like I had… done something unforgivable.I stumbled toward the bed and collapsed on it, clutching the sheets as tears blurred my vision. I didn’t even realize I was crying until my breath hitched and a sob broke free.“Why… why does this keep happening to me?” I whispered into the pillow, my voice shaking. “Why can’t I just stay out of trouble?”I squeezed my eyes shut and covered my face with my palms. I hated this feeling—this crushing weight in my chest. Damon had been my safe place these past days, even if he never said the words. Every glance, every time he protected me… it made me believe I matt

—AVERY—“Why…why are you here?” The words tumbled out before I could stop them. My voice sounded thin, shaky, like it didn’t even belong to me.Jessica was wearing a smile when I opened the door but she saw me her expression turned pale. Her eyes flicked up to mine for a second, then back down. I followed her gaze—and my stomach dropped.She was staring at my nightwear.God, why did I wear this?! The soft fabric clung to me, and with the light, it was… almost see-through. My cheeks burned so hot I thought they’d melt. I wrapped my arms around myself instinctively, trying to cover what I could, but it didn’t help.And then the guilt came crashing in like a wave I couldn’t fight.Last night. Damon’s hands on me. The way he touched me, bathed me, kissed my belly like I was the most precious thing in the world.But Damon… was hers.Her fiancé.My throat tightened painfully. It didn’t matter that this child inside me was his. It didn’t matter that he said he’d protect me. In the eyes of ev
