All Chapters of The Alpha broken mate: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

I was sitting in the common room with my friends when Helione burst through the door, her eyes wide with excitement."I think I found something," she said, slightly out of breath.I sat up straighter. "What do you find""A lead. On the murders." She pulled out her phone, scrolling quickly. "I was asking around like you said, listening for anything weird, and someone mentioned seeing a guy playing with a knife. The same kind of knife used in the killings."My heart started racing. "Who? Where?""East wing courtyard. Come on, we need to go now before he leaves."We moved quickly through the halls, Sabrina and Oprah falling into step beside us. The afternoon sun was warm on our faces as we stepped outside, and it took a moment for my eyes to adjust to the brightness."There," Helione whispered, pointing to a bench near the fountain.A boy sat alone, hunched over something in his lap. His fingers moved with ease, flipping what was unmistakably a knife through his fingers. The blade caught

I caught up to Sabrina in the stairwell. She was leaning against the wall, her shoulders shaking with sobs."Sabrina, please—""Don't." She held up a hand, her voice raw. "Don't you dare make excuses.""I wasn't going to make excuses. I was going to apologize.""For what? For kissing the guy I've been in love with for months? For letting him touch you while I was right outside?" Her mascara ran in black streaks down her face. "You knew how I felt about him, Aurora. I told you."Guilt crashed over me like a wave. "I know. I'm so sorry. I wasn't thinking—""That's obvious!" She pushed off the wall, getting in my face. "What, did you get high and suddenly forget your friend's feeling? L"Hey!" Helione's voice cut through as she and Oprah arrived, both of them slightly out of breath. "What's going on?""Aurora kissed Dante," Sabrina spat. "And let him feel her up."Oprah's eyes widened. "Aurora, is that true?"I couldn't meet her gaze. "Yes.""I can't believe this." Sabrina's voice cracke

I woke to sunlight filtering through unfamiliar curtains, and for a moment I didn't know where I was. Then I felt Rex's arm around my waist, felt the weight of the sheets, and everything crashed back.Oh god. Oh god, what have I done?I stayed perfectly still, not wanting to wake him. My mind was already racing through everything. Arthur. The phone call. The break. And then I'd run straight to Rex like some kind of desperate, pathetic idiot. I'd cheated on Arthur, confessed, threatened him with losing me forever.What is wrong with me?Carefully, I slipped out of bed, grabbing my dress from the floor. My hands were shaking as I dressed. I felt dirty, guilty, ashamed. I needed to get out of here, shower, go back to my dorm.Rex stirred as I was heading for the door, but I didn't turn back. I couldn't face him right now.Back at my dorm, I stood under the shower for what felt like hours, letting hot water pour over me. It didn't help. The guilt was still there, sticky and heavy, coating

I found Dante in the East Tower library. He looked up from his book as I approached, surprise flickering across his face."I thought you were avoiding me," he said, setting the book aside."Don't be like that. You know the reason why." I sat down across from him, keeping my voice low. The library was nearly empty, but you could never be too careful.He leaned back, his grey eyes studying me. "I don't care about that. About your friend." His voice dropped. "I want you."For a moment, my vision blurred slightly. His words wrapped around me like a warm blanket. Everything else faded—Sabrina, the guilt gnawing at me. All I could see was Dante, the intensity in his gaze. Then I blinked, and clarity returned."That's not why I came here," I said firmly.His expression shifted, becoming guarded. "Then why are you here?""Haven't you seen it?" My stomach twisted."Seen what?""My video. The nudes. They're all over the internet." Just saying it out loud made me feel sick. "It's everywhere."Da

We spent the next two days planning. Claudius was reluctant at first, dragging his feet on every detail, but I pushed him. I had to. Aurora needed to be gone, and he was my only option."She has a routine," I told him, spreading out a map of the campus on the floor of my hideout. "Every Tuesday and Thursday, she goes to the library around seven in the evening. Stays for about two hours. Then she walks back to her dorm alone."Claudius stared at the map, his hands shaking. "I can't do this during the day. Too many people.""Obviously," I snapped. "You'll wait until she's walking back. The path between the library and her dorm goes through that wooded area near the east courtyard. It's poorly lit. No cameras. Perfect spot."He swallowed hard, his adam's apple bobbing. "And then what? I just... stab her?""Yes, Claudius. You stab her. Multiple times. Make sure she's dead, you've killed people before, this is going to be like your usual gig, just imagine that she is the bullying you, and
