Lahat ng Kabanata ng TRAPPED BY THE ALPHA WHO HATES ME: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

VeraI stood there in the corridor with the other omegas, my back already aching from the stress of the day before and my pregnancy, when Sura’s sharp voice cut through the morning bustle. “Vera. You’re on the east wing guest quarters. Full clean, beds, floors, everything. The visitors start arriving today for Elder Edric’s rites.”She didn’t even look at me when she said it. Just ticked off her list like I was any other low omega instead of Jade’s Luna. Same old disrespect, Luna Marie had made sure of. I swallowed the bitterness and nodded. “Got it.”The other two omegas exchanged quick glances but said nothing. We were paired with one bored-looking guard who kept his eyes on us like we might break if we lifted anything heavier than a pillow. I took the longer wing without arguing. Let them share the smaller one. Isolation has become my normal these days.I worked quietly at first, wiping down surfaces, making beds with crisp corners the way they liked. The palace smelled of incen

VeraKieran grabbed me the second I stepped out of that guest room. His hand closed around my wrist and he pulled me into the side corridor before I could even catch my breath.“Vera, what the hell do you think you were doing in that room?” His voice was low, tight with controlled rage. “If Jade had been the one that walked in…”“I needed it, Kieran.” I yanked my arm free, frustration and hormones burning under my skin. “I needed to feel something other than pain and you were nowhere to be found. I wish to tell you I can control it. But I’m sorry I couldn’t control it.”His jaw flexed hard. “You’re pregnant. You’re carrying….” He stopped himself, eyes flicking down the empty hall. “Look, Vera, all I want is to keep you safe, I know you’ve been carrying a lot by yourself. But If Jade finds out you’re with another man, you know he’s already doubting the paternity of this pregnancy…”“Then what?” I whispered fiercely. “He’ll kill me? Join the line.”Kieran stared at me like I had slap

VeraI realized I was horny at three in the morning, which wasn't the revelation I'd hoped for when I finally got some alone time in my basement room. My body had decided that being pregnant and abandoned was apparently an aphrodisiac because I couldn't stop thinking about sex, couldn't stop feeling the constant ache between my legs, couldn't stop wanting someone—anyone—to touch me like I mattered.My breasts were tender and swollen, the kind of sensitive that made even the fabric of my night wear feel like torture. And my pussy? Don't even get me started. I was constantly wet, constantly ready, and constantly furious about it because wanting something you couldn't have was basically my life at this point. I'd spent so long not thinking about sex, not caring about being wanted, and now my hormones had decided to stage a full rebellion right when I had the least control over anything.I thought about Kieran and felt sick. Kieran with Luna Marie, Kieran who was probably inside her ri

Narrator Kieran was waiting in Luna Marie's chambers when she walked in expecting to find him on his knees like he always was. “I didn’t send for you. Oh! You missed this sexy body.”She was already untying her dress, already assuming his submission, already certain that fear would keep him compliant. That's when he turned from the window and she saw his face and something in her expression shifted."I'm done," Kieran said, and his voice was steady in a way it hadn't been in weeks. "I'm done with this. All of it."Luna's laugh was sharp and vicious. "You don't have a choice, remember? I own you. My little confession about raping me would destroy you, and we both know Jade would put a bullet in your head the moment he hears it.""Then do it," Kieran said, moving toward her slowly. "Tell him. Tell him everything. Because I'm going to tell him the truth anyway. And when he hears both stories, he's going to believe me."Something shifted in Luna's face then, that moment when a predato

KieranI fell asleep in a chair outside Vera's hospital room, which was stupid because I knew better. The exhaustion from weeks of living on adrenaline and fear had finally caught up with me, and my body had just shut down for what I thought was a few seconds after Jade left to go find some rest at home.When I opened my eyes, the hallway was different. I felt a surge of cold that didn’t have anything to do with the weather.The wrongness hit me before I could even stand up. Vera’s scent was gone. Her scent got stronger since we brought her to the hospital and I’ve been using that to keep track of her even without fully opening my eyes. I pushed into her room and the bed was empty. Not just empty—the sheets were still warm, which meant she'd been gone maybe minutes. My entire body went cold in a way that had nothing to do with the hospital's AC. I stood there for a second, just staring at that empty bed, and then my training kicked in. Panic was a luxury I couldn't afford.I checke
