Semua Bab THE ALPHA'S DEFIANT MATE: Bab 41 - Bab 50

|Aria|Beta Orion had come back from the border and called for my training that I had been missing out on for a while. He had sent a letter the previous evening with a special note to prepare me for catching up on the missed lessons.“What kind of pupil takes the absence of her teacher as a means to stay away from training?” he questioned as I stepped into the training ground the following morning.“Well, the teacher shouldn’t have gone without leaving some instructions,” my mouth pouted cutely as I found my way to his side.He stared at me for a while, the silence making my heart beat fast, but I didn’t make my fear obvious. I thought he wanted to scold me more, so I was preparing myself for the earful he had to dish out, but he just tossed the sword to me.“Are you going to stay there all day?” His voice woke me up, and I grabbed the sword with immediate attention. He didn’t even wait for me to get ready before he attacked me.“The enemy wouldn’t wait for you, you know?” he said, n

“Place the bowl of water under this doll. I need to break the cover before the alpha’s mother has my head.” The chief priestess instructed her assistant, who rushed towards her with the bowl of water.The full moon was shining brightly in her full purple robe with silver linings at the belly area. Her head was fully wrapped with a scarf to cover her entire hair. A knife was in her right hand and a small doll in her left hand.With a swift turn, she drew patterns on the ground with the knife, sprinkling the water on the pattern to create a small pool that captured the moonlight. She gazed into the water while chanting loudly.“Moonlight, reveal to me secrets hidden, and truths to see. By the power of the moon’s pale glow, lift the veil, let truth flow. Use the ancient magic, hear my call to break the bond, let the secrets fall. Through the reflection of the water, show me the way and pierce through the cloud.” Her lips kept moving faster with each line as she chanted them over and ove

“I can’t wait for her to disappear. She’s the source of my constant headache. I haven’t rested well, even since she showed her ugly face in this mansion.” Selene pinned her fingers tightly on her temple as she took her seat.She had witnessed Aria collapse a few days ago and thought that was the end, but seeing how she was up and about immediately, Damien came back, and her anger returned tenfold. She summoned the chief priestess immediately to ask why she’s not yet dead and buried.“I only placed a curse to remove the cloud around her for now. Once the cover is cleared in the coming days, I will continue with the next move.” She explained carefully, but that only stressed Selene more.She couldn’t understand the cover in the first place, and the chief priestess had to explain that her aura seems to be a strong one.“Some wolves are automatically covered by the shield of their packs, while some get the covering from their ancestors. Seeing how you don’t have a cover even though you ar

I didn’t bother to sleep anymore since I was scared of what could happen next. My legs buckled as I stood up from the bathroom’s floor to clean up the blood I had vomited. By the time I was done, the maids were already up for the day’s work, so I just took my bath and dressed up for the journey.The chariot we took was more sophisticated than the last one. It had soft leather on the seat and a large space to conveniently fit the two of us. The sides were beaded with royal tassels, and the golden color was almost blinding.“Is he trying to show off?” I sneered as I was helped in by one of the guards.Within minutes, he climbed in beside me and didn’t even spare me a glance. The silence was louder than my thoughts. I glanced at him, but his face was fixed forward and very emotionless.We haven’t talked to each other ever since the slap incident; it increased the awkwardness, and I didn’t know what to do with myself throughout the journey.As the chariot rolled out of the mansion, my emo

The humiliation stung more than the physical pain. I walked into the gathering; my eyes scanned the room until they landed on Sherlock. All the other alphas rose up to pay their respect with their heads bowed but Sherlock was the last to stand and he barely gave a bow.He was smiling; we both understood the reason behind the smile. The smile lingered for a while before it slowly disappeared and turned into an expression of worry.“Oh my! Looks like the Alpha Supreme too is not immune to an illness. How can this happen overnight?” his hand flew to cover his mouth.They all looked up to have their fill of my face and murmurs erupted through the room.“We wish you a very speedy recovery, Alpha Supreme.” Their voices echoedI motioned to them to have their seats after thanking them for their concerns. “Since I am in this condition, I will just sit here.” I dragged out a chair from the table and smirked. “The host alpha can lead us on today’s meeting. He’s more than capable, after all.”I
