Chosen By Four Alphas 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 51 - 챕터 60

Laziel Brahm I paused anxiously before the looming building of the Alpha’s throne room, watching the white fog move around the high arch of its slick black walls.It looked like something out of a horror dance, and my hands tightened at my side before I tucked the Alpha’s crown closer to my side.A flash of memory zapped through my mind as I recalled the feel of Ronan’s heavy arm on my shoulder hours ago.I’d damned near given myself a coronary when he stopped me just as I was returning from the gates, his eyes flicking down to my blood-stained boots.“Goddamn it, I…I can explain,” I rumbled when his nostrils flared as he took in the scent of the blood.Commander Winters. It was unmistakeable.I’d foolishly believed I would have enough time to get clean once I managed to sneak into my chambers, but the Beta was apparently already waiting in the alley close to my tower.Of all days to be caught high and dry the Moon Goddess had to choose the one where I had an ally’s blood on my hands

Amara EldwoodMy eyes had barely adjusted to the pitch blackness outside my balcony when I hooked a leg over it.“Cone on, Mara, hurry,” I wheezed inwardly, my heart rapping so fast inside me that I was sure it would explode.I clutched the makeshift bag that I had strapped around one shoulder, recalling the frenzied way I’d started stuffing my clothes into it as soon as I reached my room.The food in there would last me for days, enough for me until I made it back to Shadow Pack.“A quick in and out, nothing to it,” I rasped, before swallowing hard.My fingers hooked into the jagged stone blocks that jutted from the slick black walls and I climbed my way down, exhaling when my feet brushed over the short carpet grass.Sweat made my hair stick to the back of my neck and a wave of nausea so strong it almost brought me to my knees washed over my entire body.“Step one complete, come on now,” I hissed low, under my breath, glancing this way and that and drawing the hood of the thick fur

Dante MilburnSo what if the one chance I had at having a mate left? So fucking be it!I was tired of women disappointing me like this…and what kind of Queen would she have been? One who ran from her responsibilities like my mother used to?“That’s strange, there were reports of a woman breaking out of the fortress a while ago, Alpha Dante…running into the Darkness like the hounds of hell were chasing her—” Laziel grumbled, scratching his head.It took every fiber of control I had left not to backhand him with my fist.“Your wall guards reported a woman escaping and you didn't think it was important to mention it to me? Brahm?” I snarled, but the smug wolf only shrugged, meeting my gaze testily.I breathed in and out, counting the minutes before I could finally relax into a warm steamy bath.“I’ll take my men and go to see if we can trace her steps. Between the mist and this blasted weather, she’ll catch her death in one of the bogs —” Caius rasped, glancing at me for approval, his

Caius WintersAmara Eldwood body was limp in my hands for the second time since we met only months ago.“Come on, hang in there, Mara,” I whispered as the horse sped toward the peaking black walls that stood high above the dark fog rolling in the gulf between.Her dark red eyelashes fluttered feverishly and I forced myself to glance away from the dew coating her half-open lower lip.The memory of our kiss seared something in my mind I never knew had been there.Like an awakening of sorts.One that made me feel more connected to her than ever.“How much farther is it?” I yelled at Laziel over the din of our horses’ loud neighing, catching the way he turned to squint at me out of the corner of my eyes.Thunder claps and the fork of lightning pierced through the fog, bathing the eerie landscape in its fluorescent light before my eyes struggled to adjust to the darkness once more.“How is she? Brace for impact, were charging into the eye of it!” Laziel bellowed as mist and dew hailed down

Amara Eldwood“Oh my goodness! Heavens I'm so sorry!” I wheezed, clutching the maid’s wrist reflexively as my words trailed off into silence.Her milk maid hat was drawn so low that it hid her eyes, but the spasm of horror that stiffened her cheeks was unmistakable.I tried to speak, but the needling pain digging into my skin gave way to yet another vision.My body felt like it had been dipped in wet concrete, stiffening as my mind’s eye blew wide open and the world around me seemed to fold up.The maid’s frantic writhing as she tried to free herself from my iron grasp felt like it was overshadowed by a deep hard darkness, before I saw the old Beta sipping a cup of coffee by a large window.His face was invisible to me, and shadows lined the open door leading out to the hallway.“Caius? What’s happening to me?” I tried to speak but the words reverberated inside my head, and I watched in slow motion as an arrow shot out from the shadows, flying straight for the Beta.“Miss Eldwood? Ar
