All Chapters of Alpha Alaric's Troublesome Mate: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“A-Alter?” Castellana repeated, both confused and in disbelief. “She introduced herself as Ellana,” the alpha replied. “I do not know the exact reason, but she said that you will never know–”“Alaric Ivanov!” she shouted, catching him off guard. “What alter are you talking about?!”“I consulted Dr. Annie beforehand about your situation and she said that it is most likely that you have an alter, a personality with behavior, memory, and way of thinking different from you.”Castellana took a step back, staring at him as if the alpha had committed the greatest sin of all. “Ellana confirmed it herself that it is because of her that you experience memory gaps. So I asked Dr. Annie to help me draw out your alter–”Before he could further speak, Castellana turned away and left his room in a rush. He ran his hand through his hair. He expected her to be shocked with that news, hence, he decided to give her some time to think things throu

Castellana left the council hall and met up with her family in the plane that was scheduled to leave the island that morning. She informed them that there had been a change of plans and she won’t be able to head back home for a while. Mr. Sullivan then led his eldest daughter outside the plane with her baggage.“They also interrogated your mother and your sisters regarding that incident,” Mr. Sullivan said.He let out a sigh before ruffling his daughter’s hair.“I know you would not do something like that. Your mother and I are also doing a separate private investigation to prove your innocence and see if this is just a set-up. Or worse, if there are other existing vampires.” He hugged her. “If they are giving you a hard time or if you feel like you cannot handle it, just call me, Castel.”Castellana nodded, hugging him back tight as if gathering strength as much as she could. She stepped back and waved goodbye, watching the plane leave.

The alpha managed to enter the apartment thanks to Vivien, however, Castellana opted to lock herself inside her bedroom. She refused to speak with him as if the mere sight of him was repulsive. “Tia Carlston and Bianca came to see me today, asking if you can work with them. I brought their proposals so come out of there and let’s talk about this matter,” Alaric said, standing in front of her bedroom door with the hope that it would be enough to make the half-vampire come out from hiding.He waited, but received no response. He cursed under his breath before walking back to the living room. His schedule that day was already cleared so there was no problem if he was going to wait. Not to mention, he wasn’t in a hurry to get home since he can spend the night at that place anyway.“Did you two go somewhere else after leaving the airport?” the alpha asked Vivien.The omega shook her head.“She just spoke with someone and took a shower after w

At the next room, Alaric stood in front of the monitors to watch over the hypnosis. This was his last merciful way to make Castellana confess what she actually did on the day that innocent human was killed by a vampire. He saw the doctor inject the truth serum into her arm. He witnessed it himself that within a few minutes, the medicine started to work. He tightened his grip on the glass of whiskey he was holding while his gaze was locked onto the monitor. “Do you remember what happened on the 5th of this month?” the doctor questioned. Castellana’s eyes were shut as if she was asleep. “Yes,” she replied, her voice becoming like a whisper. “What did you do that morning?” “I cooked breakfast…” She paused. “For Reina.” “Tell us what you talked about with her.” “She asked if… I was going to reject the alpha.” Another long pause came, but the doctor patiently waited. Castellana then added, “I told her I rejected him… but took it back because of… the curse.” “After you

After some time, Alaric finally finished racing. He parked his car and immediately stepped out, still looking stiff and unsatisfied. Zack and Gallahand left the bleachers and walked up to the alpha, who just lit a cigarette before shifting his attention to them.“Gallahand, how’s the task I gave you?” the alpha questioned.Zack handed him the documents. Neither of the two spoke as they followed the alpha from behind. Alaric read the documents, going over them as thoroughly as possible until they reached the parking lot. Smoke left his mouth upon reaching the last page. For a moment, he just stared at the paper seemingly in a daze before puffing out smoke again. He then disposed of his cigarette before opening the car.“Inform the elders about this,” he merely instructed before driving away.Castellana was innocent. Those three words played like a broken record in the alpha’s mind. As the speed of the car goes faster, the words he said an
