The Alpha’s Chosen のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Drake climbed to the attic faster than the wind and his lips curved into a smile when he inhaled the scent of freesia he was craving for. The girl was there. He stared at the closed door in front of him and took a moment to compose himself. Drake thought how he went all around the Red Moon pack's properties in search of the girl. Why didn't he think of checking the packhouse thoroughly? He already knew that the girl was not in the common buildings because she came to the kitchen in the packhouse. Now that he was standing in the attic, he realized that obvious places would be to check the basement and the attic, as well as any isolated places where guests don't venture. It seems that his mind was muddled and he didn't think straight. Well, it doesn't matter. The time has come. She is right there. Behind that door. Hopefully. Drake knocked on the door lightly and waited. Nothing. He knocked again, this time with a bit more force. Drake thought that he heard some shuffling from

"How come you are leaving so suddenly?", Edward asked while rushing to catch up to Caden and May who were descending the stairs with a suitcase each. 'How am I supposed to know?', Caden grumbled in the mind link for May to hear. "Something unexpected happened and we need to leave.", May lied with a straight face. Actually, it was not a lie. Neither May nor Caden knew what's going on other than Drake telling them that they are leaving. Since they arrived at the Red Moon pack, Drake's mood was all over the place, like a woman on a period. Caden and May lost count of how many times Drake told them that they are leaving, only to change his mind shortly after that. However, they never reached the point of actually packing their things, so Caden and May believe that this is it and they will finally return home and find some sense of normalcy. Earlier that morning, Drake woke them up through the mind link, with instructions that Caden should park the car on the side of the packhouse,

May and Caden were throwing glances at Drake and Talia through the rearview mirror and observing how Drake cradled Talia in his arms gently, like she was made out of glass. 'Since when is our Alpha so kind to victims of abuse?', May asked Caden through their mind-link. 'You wanted to ask: since when is our Alpha so kind. Period.', Caden corrected her and asked, 'Did you know about this?' 'Nope.', May responded. 'Drake was always fast in picking up women but bringing one home is a first for him.' May pointed at the rearview mirror, indicating for Caden to look. Caden's eyes shifted just in time to see Drake adjusting his position so that Talia is more comfortable as she slept while leaning on him. 'It seems that Drake's taste in women changed.', Caden said. May agreed. 'I thought he goes for curvaceous mature women. I remember him saying how he gets a kick of seeing boobs bouncing in the rhythm he sets with his hips, and that the only good ass is the one that has ripples when sp

Caden's mind was unable to accept that Drake found his mate, but Caden didn't have an alternate explanation for Drake's bizarre behavior. "If that girl is Drake's mate, why didn't he say something?"Maya rolled her eyes. "Because that's Drake. He will not admit it even if you ask him outright. But think about it. Erratic behavior. One moment he wants to leave, and the second one we are staying. Didn't he show us the video of Marcy naked, humping his hand while begging him to take her, and he left her like that? Since when is Drake the one who refuses a free meal? He requested a tour of the Red Moon pack, and you know that he always avoided those because when he saw things he didn't like, Drake never stayed quiet. And in the car, Drake was sticking to the girl and we both saw how gentle he was with her. The only explanation is that he found his mate." May pointed at the phone."Caden, you know better than anyone how much Drake cherishes the Dark Howlers pack. He wouldn't risk provoking

Drake forced himself to stop staring at the bathroom door and called room service.He realized that he had no idea what Talia likes to eat so he decided to get everything from the menu. In his opinion, the hotel didn't offer enough options.After placing a massive order for food, Drake made another phone call. This was important."Hi Steph…", Drake greeted Stephanie when she picked up the call."It's good that you remembered me.", Stephanie said irritably."Did something happen?""Cassie is coming. Where are you?""We are on the way home.", Drake responded. He didn't care about Cassie."When will you reach here?""Not sure. Something came up. That's why I'm calling."Stephanie was struck with concern. "Are you kids OK?"Drake smiled a little. Stephanie is always treating them like kids. "We are fine, but we are bringing someone with us. I want you to prepare a room for her.""Alright." Stephanie didn't think much about it. "I'm not sure if we have free rooms in the common building bec
