All Chapters of Alpha Ryu : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

The cold air bit at my skin as I stumbled away from Ryu’s territory, the heavy iron gates slamming shut behind me like the final nail in my coffin. I barely noticed the way the rough stones of the ground cut into my bare feet, or how the night winds howled around me like wolves mourning a lost sister. My heart was too shattered to feel anything else. Each step I took away from him, from the life I had almost built by his side, felt like a blade twisting deeper into my chest. I had gambled everything on love — and lost.I had known it would end like this.Somewhere deep inside, I had always known. From the moment I chose to hide the truth from Ryu, I understood it would come back to destroy me. I had buried the mission so deep in my past, hoping it would never surface, hoping my love for him would be enough. But the past always finds you. And Ryu’s fury, his betrayal, had struck harder than any enemy’s blade. Knowing didn’t make the pain any less. It only made it sharper, crueler.I

The cold stone beneath me is no different from the night before. The chill seeps into my bones, a constant reminder of where I am—where I’ve been for fifty-three days now. The air in my cell feels damp and stagnant, and I’ve grown so accustomed to the smell of stale bread and the sour tang of sweat that it’s as if they’ve become part of me. But it’s not just the walls of this prison that feel cold. The emptiness inside me, a hollow that no amount of time seems to fill, spreads like ice, thickening the air in my lungs. I lie still in the dark, wide awake, my thoughts racing faster than I can keep up with them. My body is exhausted from the endless days of captivity, but tonight, I feel restless, as though the night itself is alive with secrets begging to be uncovered.And the more I listen, the more I realize that the murmurs of my fellow prisoners are not just the usual whispered threats or quiet despair—they hold something more. Something dangerous. Something that promises to u

The morning light filtered weakly through the small barred window above my cell, casting long shadows against the cold stone floor. The world outside the prison walls felt so distant, as if it belonged to a different life, a different version of myself. I was no longer sure who I was anymore. After everything that had been revealed—the prophecy, my true heritage—I felt as though I was drowning in a sea of secrets and lies. I wasn’t just any prisoner. I was a hybrid. The key to stopping my father. But the weight of that truth felt like an anchor pulling me deeper into the darkness. How could I possibly fight the very man who had destroyed everything I knew? I sat up slowly, my hands trembling slightly as I touched the crescent mark that glowed faintly behind my ear. This is who I am, I reminded myself. But even as I thought it, doubt gnawed at my insides. Am I strong enough?The day felt long and oppressive, filled with the kind of silence that echoed in my ears. I walked across t

The walls felt like they were closing in on me, and I knew that it wasn’t just the confinement that suffocated me—it was the crushing weight of truth that I couldn’t escape, no matter how hard I tried. Fifty-seven days. Fifty-seven days of being trapped, not just in this stone cell, but in the shadow of a truth I didn’t want to confront. The air, thick and stale, smelled of dust and regret, but there was something else now—a charge, like the quiet before a storm. The hairs on my neck stood on end, and the space seemed to pulse with a low, steady hum. My senses had sharpened. The taste of the air felt sharper, the sounds of distant footsteps more pronounced, and there, deep in my bones, I could feel it—the slow rise of something ancient, something that had been dormant for too long. I wasn’t the same as I had been before.I wasn’t just surviving anymore.I was changing, and though I hadn’t yet fully understood it, I knew this change wasn’t one I could turn back from.The map lay i

The courtroom reeked of blood-soaked power and silent betrayals. Thick stone walls rose around me like a cage designed not just to hold a body, but to crush a soul. The silver shackles burned against my skin, branding me a traitor, a killer, a Luna Slayer.I was forced to kneel before the throne-like benches of the Elder Council, my bones grinding against the cold marble floor while the echo of ancient chants still clung to the ceilings. A thousand pairs of eyes bore down on me—some with hatred, some with curiosity, but none with mercy. I was no longer a princess of bloodlines, nor a Luna of destiny. In their eyes, I was nothing more than a condemned wolf waiting to be put down. And yet, I did not weep. I did not beg. I lifted my chin as my knees trembled, refusing to give them the pleasure of watching me break.Above me, the Elders perched like vultures circling a dying beast, their expressions carved from centuries of judgment and political games. Their long robes swept the groun
