Lahat ng Kabanata ng Claimed by Three Alphas, Fated to One: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

Audrey’s POVI didn’t move but I should’ve because every bone in my legs screamed to run before this this person could take another step. But I didn’t because that voice… that voice didn’t sound like a monster’s voice.That voice sounded broken.“Audrey Dauval.”He uttered my name as if it had deeper meaning to him. Then he stepped through the trees.He was not like a beast. He wasn't what I expected. He was not some wild, slavering animal with fangs and glowing eyesNo...he was a boy.Nineteen, maybe. But compared to most adult men, his face had seen more winters. His cheek was covered in jagged scars that never healed properly, resembling claw markings. He still had bruises on his fists, and one knuckle was bleeding. His shirt was half-ripped, clinging to his body as if the garment itself had attempted to flee.But the thing that struck me the most was his eyes.They didn’t beg but they accused.Caleb stepped in front of me and warned him. "Don't come closer." He spoke in a st

Audrey’s POVThe school bell rang indication the end of lectures for the day. But I remained seated at my locker. The sound of chairs scraping and backpacks zipping as students began to leave the class continued, but I sat with my pen still in my hand and the ink streaked into my palm. Even though my body was in the class, my mind had been wandering, seemingly trying to figure out why my name was marked with the word catalyst. I eventually simply stood up and walked out of the class. Not with a plan though, and not in a dramatic manner. The cold was intense such that my fingers were frozen by the time I got home. I pushed the front door open carefully, and it creaked as though to alert Adrian that I was coming.The smell hit me before anything else. It was not the small of food and coffee. It was oil, metal and something else that I couldn’t explain.I stepped into the kitchen and stopped.Adrian was at the counter with the weapons case open in front of him. Rows of knives an

Audrey’s POVI slammed the door behind me before any of them could start their rehearsed apologies. Derek folded his arms and leaned against the window, as he always did when he didn't want to accept any responsibility. Caleb was seating on the edge of the desk with sealed leaps as he stared at the floor. Adrian was always the last to arrive and the one who pretended that he was too busy to keep to time. “Sit,” I said.No one moved.“Sit the hell down.”Derek didn’t argue and Caleb glanced at me once, then dropped into the chair with that same stupid weight in his eyes he always used when he wanted me to feel sorry for him. Adrian leaned against the wall and didn’t sit.I didn’t care. The most important is that I had them here. All three of them and I wasn’t backing down until one of them gave me the truth, or all of them bled for it.“Who erased him?” My voice cracked but I didn’t care. “Who made me forget Jude?”They was silence and Caleb looked up then immediately back down. Der

Derek’s POVI knew I’d break eventually, though I never thought that it would happen in front of twenty students, a teacher, and Audrey, who was barely breathing and bowed over her desk as if something invisible had ripped her life from her.She almost got killed from the fight initiated by a girl she claimed to be her sister who was supposed to be dead.It seems Audrey was wounded and I'm afraid it's might hurt her so much.It wasn't supposed to get this far. I’d stayed away. I’d told Caleb to back off and I warned Jude that the bond wasn’t just about blood, it was about survival and balance. But it seems balance was dead.Because everyone of us had touched Audrey. Even though I hadn't touched her in days, I could still feel her beating beneath my skin. I could smell her in my lungs. That morning in the hallway, her hand brushed mine by accident and my wolf went still. Not calm, it was just silent.And it was the silence that scared me.I didn’t speak when the school nurse pushed

Caleb’s POVI didn’t tell anyone where we were going. I didn’t tell Audrey, Derek and not even Adrian, though I could feel his suspicion burning into the back of my neck the entire time I was driving. It was better this way; it means less warning and less time for anyone to spin it or run their mouth before I put it on the table.It’s obvious we were heading to the old barn where I’d arranged for the council meeting. The venue was already full when we got there. Wolves were pacing in the darkness, some were lounging against the twisted beams as if they owned the area; others were standing in groups, speaking, and staring at me like they had been waiting for this very moment.Audrey stepped in behind me and the noise dropped but not completely gone. The meeting for the day started immediately we sat and I didn’t give them time to start making accusation. “If we can’t agree what she is, then we vote tonight and no more stalling. And I wouldn’t tolerate any backroom talk about taking h
