Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Alpha's Scorned Mate : Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

PhoebeGripping the rope above me as the trailer sways slightly, I take in the ten wolves and five vampires crowded into the space, ready to spring forth as soon as the doors open. Levi stands beside me, his body swaying with the moving vehicle and his green eyes focused on the door. Everyone is tense with anticipation, ready to take out the hunters who have been terrorizing this area for decades. They were smart, keeping a low profile that even Aileen and I did not know about. Now that we do, they will be gone come morning light.The tractor-trailer comes to a slow stop, the engine idling as we hear the sounds of a gate rolling open outside. It seems we have arrived. We wait with bated breath, wondering if someone will be dumb enough to check the “merchandise” in the back. Luckily for us, the trailer moves forward, and we all breathe a small sigh of relief. We are in. Now, all we need to do is wait for the back door to open, and all hell will break loose.“Just a little longer,” Levi

PhoebePain explodes from the burning bullet wound near my chest, so sharp and consuming I can’t even breathe. It radiates through me like wildfire, scorching every nerve, every vein. My mind is blank, hollow, except for one chilling thought screaming on repeat—I was shot with a silver bullet.The impact forces my body backward, air torn from my lungs as I slam against the ground. Muffled shouts reach my ringing ears, distant, distorted, as though I’m underwater. My vision blurs, dark spots dancing at the edges. How did this happen? How the hell did I not see this coming?“Phoebe. Phoebe! Fuck, look at me, baby!” Levi’s voice cuts through the haze—broken, desperate, pleading. I force my head to turn, and there he is, those piercing green eyes locked on mine as if sheer willpower could keep me tethered here. “There you are, Phoebe,” he coos shakily, brushing my hair from my clammy face, his hand trembling.“Levi, I need to remove the bullet,” another voice insists sharply, tight with p

Levi“Any news?”The door to the waiting area bursts open, and Claira storms in, panic burning in her eyes.I shake my head, adjusting Saben against me. His small body is heavy in my arms, his lashes still damp from the tears he cried himself to sleep. He clings tighter, even in his dreams, as though he knows I’m barely holding myself together.“It’s been two hours since you rushed her home. What the hell is taking so long?” Claira snaps, her voice raw with fear. She slams her fist into the wall with such force that plaster shatters, leaving a jagged hole.The sound jolts Saben awake. He whimpers, his little face burrowing deeper into my neck. A low, warning growl rumbles from my chest before I can stop it, and Claira stiffens under the weight of it. She mutters an apology and sinks into a chair beside her father, curling into him, her fury bleeding into grief.By now, Mikos, Mavric, Miella, and Aidan have gathered in the waiting room. The silence between us is suffocating, everyone w

“So I guess I am stuck with you,” I sigh, letting the resignation coat my words even though something in my chest tightens in protest.“Trust me, Phoebe,” Levi rumbles, and there’s no mistaking the steel in his voice, the edge of possessiveness that cuts through every syllable. “You were always going to be stuck with me, whether I marked you two days ago or two years from now.” His eyes lock on mine, green flames burning with something between desire and fierce devotion. “I was an idiot to have let you go five years ago without listening to you. I’m not making that mistake again, not ever. You can be mad at me, scream at me, even hit me if you want, but you will always be mine.” His jaw tightens, and then softens. “I can wait until you are ready to mark me. I’ll wait for your decision on what we are going to do with our two packs, but I will never let you go.”My heart stumbles, skipping a beat at his vow, and the monitor beside me betrays me with its sudden spike. Levi mercifully ign

PhoebeMy heart clenches as I look at Levi hugging Saben tightly. I returned home to my cottage this morning after getting a clean bill of health from Dr. Grace. My wound has healed to the point where it will leave a small scar, and I know I have Levi to thank for that. He stayed by my side for three nights, taking care of me before I woke up, then held me all yesterday to keep me comfortable and allow his touch to heal me further.I still wince from time to time if I move too quickly, but I am allowed to resume my duties as the alpha of Haven Trail as long as Jiya is by my side since Claira is busy dealing with Trail Corporation and launching new products. She has taken charge of the press release while I was in a small coma in the pack infirmary, healing from the bullet wound.I was shocked when Levi didn’t volunteer to be at my side, but he reminded me that he had a tour to finish and other packs to check on now that he had found me. He immediately gave me his phone number, telling
