บททั้งหมดของ Alpha Rex.: บทที่ 91 - บทที่ 100

(Isabella’s POV )The warmth between Rex and me disappeared instantly.Not because he pulled away emotionally. Because the moment Kaelen spoke, instinct took over.Rex straightened, every trace of softness vanishing beneath sharp Alpha control. One second his forehead was against mine, the next he was already moving toward the door with lethal focus in his eyes.I stood immediately. “I’m coming too.”Rex didn’t even look back. “No.”“Rex—”“No.”The door swung open before I could argue further. Kaelen stood outside, tense enough that even his usual calm looked strained.“It’s getting worse,” he said quickly.Rex’s expression darkened. “What do you mean worse?”“He started bleeding from the nose about thirty seconds ago. Then the symbols appeared.”My stomach tightened. “Symbols?”Kaelen’s gaze flicked toward me briefly before returning to Rex. “On his skin.”Oh, God.Rex noticed the shift in my breathing immediately. “Stay here.”“I’m not staying here while someone is apparently posse

(Isabella’s POV)“It found the stronghold.”The words left my mouth before I fully understood them.But the second I said them, I knew they were true.Another tremor rolled beneath our feet, stronger this time. The stone balcony groaned quietly beneath the pressure.Rex’s grip tightened on my arm immediately.“What found it.”I swallowed hard.“I don’t think it was searching before.”“What does that mean.”My chest tightened painfully as another pulse moved through the ground beneath us.Not random.Not natural.Intentional.“It knows where I am now.”The air around Rex shifted instantly.Cold. Dangerous.The Alpha in him surfaced so fast it was almost physical.“No.”His voice came out sharp enough to cut stone.I looked at him helplessly. “Rex—”“No,” he repeated. “Whatever this thing is, it doesn’t get access to you.”A harsh sound echoed somewhere deep below the stronghold.Not an explosion.Not a crack.A knock.Three slow impacts beneath the earth.Boom.Boom.Boom.Every instin

(Isabella’s POV )The crack split through the center of the war room with a sound like thunder.Stone shattered beneath our feet.Everyone moved at once.Kaelen grabbed Ash by the back of his shirt just before part of the floor collapsed where he’d been standing.“Oh, COME ON—”The rest of his yell disappeared as another violent tremor ripped through the room.Dust exploded into the air.The ground beneath Rex and me gave way instantly.For one terrifying second, weightlessness swallowed everything.Then we were falling.Rex’s arm locked around my waist before I could even scream.Stone scraped against my shoulder as we crashed through darkness, debris raining around us while the roar beneath the stronghold shook the air itself.“Hold on to me!” Rex barked.Like I planned not to?I wrapped both arms around him tightly as we dropped hard through collapsing stone and ancient tunnels.Then—Impact.Pain exploded through my side as we slammed onto solid ground.Rex twisted at the last sec

(Rex’s POV)“There’s someone standing behind you.”Every instinct in my body snapped tight instantly.I turned.Nothing.Just darkness stretching across the cavern behind me, silver light flickering across broken chains and ancient stone.But Isabella, she looked terrified.Not confused. Not uncertain. Terrified.My pulse slowed dangerously.“What do you see.”Her grip on my hand tightened hard enough to hurt.“A man.”The cavern trembled again.Another chain snapped somewhere deep underground.Ash muttered, “Can we stop discovering new problems every ten minutes?”No one answered him.Because Isabella’s eyes hadn’t moved.She was still staring directly behind me.At something none of us could see.Lucien stepped forward slowly. “Describe him.”Isabella swallowed.“He’s tall.”A pause.“Dark hair.”Another pause.“And…”Her breathing hitched.“He looks like Rex.”Silence crashed through the cavern.Every muscle in my body went completely still.Kaelen frowned immediately. “What.”Isab

(Rex’s POV )“Now I understand why the Axis chose you both.”The words didn’t sit right in the air.They sank.Like something heavy settling into water that was already too deep.I stepped closer to Isabella instinctively.Not because I was scared of the thing in front of us.But because I didn’t like the way it was looking at her now.Like she was no longer a mystery.Like she was a solution.Lucien moved slightly to my left, voice low.“Don’t engage it further.”I almost laughed.“Too late for that advice.”The Hollow King tilted its head again, watching us like we were a puzzle it had just started enjoying.“You resist each other,” it said softly. “And yet you stabilize each other.”Ash muttered, “Why does it sound like it’s writing relationship reviews?”Kaelen shot him a look that shut him up immediately.Isabella didn’t laugh this time.She was too focused.Too still.Her hand was still in mine, but I could feel the tension in her fingers.Not fear of me.Fear of what this was b
