Semua Bab The Billionaire Alpha Rejected His True Luna: Bab 31 - Bab 40

A genuine grin tugged at Alpha Kane's lips, and he finally smiled, the tension fading a little as we walked down the stairs.What a beautiful smile Alpha had, softening the granite features of his face. He seemed boyish, almost sweet.Turning my gaze away from his handsome face, I focused it in front of me and saw six people seated at a white wooden table.Two women and four men, their eyes fixed on me.One woman, whom I assumed to be Martina, smiled meaningfully, while the other was reserved and distant.We stopped at the table, and Alpha Kane released my hand, walking toward the guests.Reluctantly, I moved forward as Alpha Kane introduced the guests, but my heart was pounding so loudly with excitement that all I could hear was the sound of it in my ears.I greeted them with a wide smile, and their faces brightened even more."Are you comfortable around people?" Nova asked me."If our Alpha is comfortable around humans, then so am I," I replied."Remember, I don't want any fuss arou

I washed the pretty dress with hand soap – a trick that helps remove blood stains – and hoped I hadn’t ruined the gorgeous outfit completely.Pain shot through me, and I knew I needed to lie down.Not having the strength to open my suitcase and get my nightgown, I selfishly grabbed the black shirt Alpha Kane had lent me and put it on. It was soaked with his scent, soothing.I involuntarily took a deep breath, walked over to the bed, and slid under the covers, fighting the blinding pain.As soon as I closed my eyes, the image of Alpha Kane’s bare chest appeared before my eyes. A wolf, all hard muscle, with a snake tattoo, hissed at the audience.The pain was forgotten when I remembered the blissful moments when my thoughts were absorbed by the wolf between whom I was now suspended, and I wanted warm arms to embrace me.There was a quick knock on the door while I was suspended between the valley of sleep and the world of the living.“Come in,” I answered sleepily. Alpha Kane opened the

“Competition?” I smirked, almost like Nova. “In case it wasn’t obvious, you’re the one with Marcus. I’m bound to the pack, not Marcus. Has he ever told you about his plans?”I tried to keep my voice casual, hoping she’d spill some information. Something that would make this conversation worth passing on to Alpha Kane. Right now, I have nothing. This conversation was a pointless attempt to quell her raging jealousy.I wanted to ask her about the attacks on our pack, but was it worth giving sensitive information to an outsider? I did not doubt that anything I told her would get back to Marcus, especially if it had anything to do with his former pack.“Oh, no,” Kate smirked, shaking her head. “No way. My mouth is sealed.”“Tell me. What if I knock you out and drag you to my Alpha?” I allowed myself a cruel grin. “Then how are you going to keep Marcus’s plans a secret?”Kate’s grin matched mine, and she leaned closer. I felt my grin slip at her words, and anger began to boil in my veins.

There was another knock on the door and Dad went to answer it silently. The first thing I saw was Jackson's distraught face. Dad grumbled something unintelligible and let him in."I just found out what happened." Jackson winced. "Do you mind if I stay?"Jackson's eyes darted between me, Dad, and Ryan. I spoke first."Not at all." I shook my head. "I could use some company right now.""I told Sophia what was going on and she said she'd be over soon." Jackson frowned as he walked over to where I was sitting on the couch.Without thinking, Jackson picked up my legs and sat down, placing them in his lap."Did you say he was sitting right outside the window?" Jackson muttered quietly to me, running his fingers up my calves."His eyes were looking right at me," I muttered in the same hushed voice."This isn't just a bully's attack anymore." Jackson frowned. "Something serious is going on, isn't it?""I think so." I frowned.Our quiet conversation was interrupted when Kane and his men walked

"I'll rip her charred hair out," Sophia muttered under her breath, hearing yet another rumor that painted me as a cold-blooded killer.I sighed, "We knew this would happen. No wonder Cassie makes things worse.""Guess that's the only thing Cassie's good at," Jackson rolled his eyes."That and trying to suck up to Alpha," Sophia muttered, and I followed her gaze to Alpha Kane.Alpha Kane was standing by the side doors, talking to his Beta Hunter and a few other men. I cringed inwardly as Cassie darted toward the group of men and interrupted their conversation.I couldn't help the smug smile that spread across my face as Alpha Kane turned to face her, eyes blazing with anger.It seemed we weren't the only ones who hadn't gotten enough sleep.Cassie flinched at the hostility emanating from Alpha Kane and turned away.Jackson, Sophia, and I took our places on the mats, planning to visit a small cafe in the Sterling Empire that evening.Beta Hunter stepped forward, taking his usual positio
