Semua Bab THE ALPHA WHO HATED ME: Bab 61 - Bab 66

Chapter 62**Evangeline's POV**"Evangeline." Maeve's voice cut through the roar of shadow magic surrounding me. "Look at me."I didn't want to look. Didn't want to see the disappointment in her eyes. Didn't want to face what I was becoming. My hands were still wrapped around Celeste's throat, power crackling between my fingers like hungry lightning."Child, this isn't you," Maeve said, stepping closer despite the darkness that hissed and writhed around me. "This isn't who you're meant to be.""How do you know who I'm meant to be?" The words came out distorted, layered with shadows that made my voice sound like multiple people speaking at once. "Maybe this is exactly who I am."Principal Morrison burst through the cafeteria doors with several teachers behind him. "What is the meaning of..."My shadow magic lashed out before I could think. Dark tendrils wrapped around the principal's body and lifted him into the air, suspending him twenty feet above the ground. He struggled against the

Chapter 64**Ronan point of view**We searched until dawn. Maeve used magic to light our way, calling on powers I didn't understand. I shifted back and forth between forms, using every enhanced sense I had to look for any trace of her.But the forest had swallowed her completely.When the sun finally rose, we were no closer to finding her than when we'd started. My clothes were torn from scrambling over rocks. My hands were bloody from digging through debris. My voice was gone from calling her name."We have to go back," Maeve said finally. "People will be looking for us.""I'm not leaving her.""She's not here, Ronan. If she survived the fall, she's long gone by now. And if she didn't..."She didn't finish the sentence. She didn't need to.The walk back to civilization was the longest of my life. Each step took me further away from the place where I'd lost her. Where I'd failed her one final time.By the time we reached the school parking lot, word had already spread. Students and fa

Chapter 66**Evangeline point of view**Silas held out his hand to me, and I stared at it for what felt like hours. This was it. The moment that would change everything.I placed my trembling fingers in his, and the world exploded around us.One second we were in the cursed woods, and the next we were falling through darkness so thick I couldn't breathe. My stomach dropped like I was plunging off a cliff. Silas's grip on my hand was the only thing keeping me from screaming.Then we hit solid ground.I stumbled, my knees buckling as we landed on cold stone. The air here was different, heavier, like breathing through water. It tasted of ancient magic and something else. Something that made my wolf pace nervously in my chest."Welcome home," Silas said softly, and the way he said it made my heart skip.I looked up and forgot how to breathe.We stood before a massive castle that seemed carved from midnight itself. Black stone walls rose into the sky like jagged teeth, disappearing into sw
