The Alpha Of My Heart のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

Alethea (Zoe)I can feel the heat creeping up my neck, and I know he’s watching me. I want to glance back, but I force myself to keep moving. My hand grips the doorknob tightly, and I twist it open, stepping out into the hallway. Just as the door closes behind me. The sound of glass smashing against the wall reverberates through the silence. I freeze mid-step, my heart pounding in my chest. My breath catches as unease washes over me. For a moment, I can’t move. Is he angry? Did I provoke him? I take a sharp breath to steady myself and force my legs to move, walking briskly back toward my team. Every step echoed like a drumbeat in my ears. ‘Stay calm. Don’t let it show,’ I remind myself over and over. Near the lobby where my team is waiting, I see Liam, the Beta. He’s standing in the doorway, his eyes locked on me. He pauses, with an unreadable expression, but his gaze feels like he’s searching for something. I quickly school my features into a polite smile. I step forward and

Alethea(Zoe)I can't let myself give in to the temptation of telling Kayla the truth about who I am. A part of me aches to trust her, to share the burden of my secret, but another part screams at me to stay silent, to protect myself. I toss and turn in bed, the thoughts pressing down on me. It feels like hours before sleep finally claims me.But it doesn’t last. Just minutes into sleep, a strange sensation prickles at the edges. A shadow moves in the corner of the room. My eyes snap open, and I sit up abruptly, gasping for air as my gaze darts around. There it is. A figure, standing in the darkness. I clutch the duvet tightly as if it’s some kind of shield. My heart pounds in my chest, and my breaths come fast. Yet deep down, I know exactly who it is. Alpha Asher. I remind myself he wouldn’t hurt me—he couldn’t. But then a cold, mocking voice whispers in my mind: ‘Don’t be so sure.’Before I can process anything further, the figure shifts, and in the blink of an eye, he tran

Alethea (Zoe)Sharp pain pierces through my lower abdomen, forcing me to stop. My hand instinctively flies to my stomach as the pain is more unbearable than I ever expected. It’s as if my body is betraying me, reacting to something I can’t control. I know this is Asher’s doing. I know it’s his way of testing me to see how I’ll react. He knows exactly what he’s doing: kissing Maya right in front of me. Maya has her back to me, oblivious, but Asher’s face is impossible to miss. His eyes lock onto mine, watching as I struggle to contain the pain. What kind of bond is this? It refused to break, even after he rejected me. It’s infuriating. A part of me wants to march up to him and squeeze the life out of him, just to make him feel even a fraction of the agony he’s put me through. How am I supposed to move on when I’m bound to this arrogant excuse of an Alpha? And then there’s my son. Asher doesn’t know about him, and I plan to keep it that way. I refuse to let my child grow up like

Alethea (Zoe)‘Oh my goddess, this can't be true.’ My mind races as I try to process the sight of Xavier, standing there, directing the attack on Redwood Pack. What kind of deep hatred does he have for this pack? For Asher? And to think that someone might have helped him gain access to the pack, it makes my stomach turn, the disgust threatening to make me vomit.‘I have to warn Asher.’ He can't die. He just can't. He’s the father of my child, and he doesn’t even know it. The thought of him never knowing about Declan makes my chest tighten with a pain I can’t explain. I can’t let him die before he even gets the chance to understand the connection we have, to know about our son.Just a few minutes ago, I was so determined not to let Asher know he had a son. I told myself it was for the best, that keeping it from him was the right thing to do, for Declan, for me, for everyone. But now, standing here, everything feels so wrong. How could I have thought it was a good idea to keep such

AsherI can feel the tension tightening in my chest, unlike anything I've ever experienced before.I’ve faced battles, dangers, and countless moments where I should’ve been worried, but none of them compare to the anxiety I feel right now.Watching Ally, waiting to see if the Blood Bond will work, it’s like time is standing still.Suddenly her eyes snap open, and the panic in them hits me hard. For a moment, I think she might think she’s still fighting the poison, still caught in the turmoil of everything that’s happened to her.The silence stretches between us, her gaze locks with mine. She stares at me like she’s seeing me for the first time, and in a way, I think she might be.Kaido's purrs in my mind, urging me to stay close, not to break the moment.I feel her heartbeat in my head, every thrum of it pulsing through me, like it’s my own. Her blood is still swirling through her veins, and it feels like it’s wrapping around my very soul. I can feel her every emotion, every flicker of
