Alpha Damien's Contracted Luna のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 161 - チャプター 170

Allison's POVI never expected to find myself choosing the room right next to Liam's. The coincidence made my heart flutter uncomfortably."I should probably pick another room," I murmured, trying to keep my voice steady despite the sudden rush of his scent filling my senses. As an alpha hiding in plain sight, I needed distance from him—especially with my suppressants wearing thin.Liam paused mid-sip, one eyebrow arching as his eyes locked with mine. "Did you sneak into my room before deciding to choose the one beside it, Allison?" His voice carried that authoritative edge that only alphas possessed."I did not," I shot back, my wolf bristling beneath my skin. "Finding myself next to you is completely accidental. Trust me, I have zero desire to sleep beside you."I caught the flash in his eyes—wounded pride?—and quickly backpedaled. "What I mean is, I might disturb your work. It's probably better for you if I stay farther away." In truth, Liam intimidated me, particularly when his ex

Liam prepared the bath and left the room. Outside her bedroom, Liam lingered in the hallway. He told himself he was just making sure she wouldn't need anything else, but part of him questioned why he was standing guard like some devoted beta.He ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. *When did I become like this?* This wasn't normal for him. His time was valuable—he should be reviewing pack documents instead of hovering outside the door.Just as he turned to leave, Allison's voice drifted through the crack in the door. Unable to help himself, Liam peered through the narrow opening and caught a glimpse of Allison toweling her damp hair, her bare legs exposed beneath her short robe.Allison's POVI watched him go before stripping off my clothes and sinking into the warm water, letting out a contented sigh as I settled in for a much-needed soak.I grabbed my phone and called my mother, Gina. Her booming voice nearly brought tears to my eyes after the day I'd had."Honey, you ne

Allison's POVLiam was running late, just as I expected. I had planned to wait up for him, but as the clock struck midnight, I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. Rubbing them tiredly, I finally gave up and headed for bed.I had barely settled under the covers when I heard the distinct sound of a car pulling into the driveway, followed by the front door opening. My heart raced as I sprang from the bed.When Liam entered the house, the living room was dark. I could sense his confusion – I'd promised to wait up, yet appeared to have gone to bed. Classic Allison move, I suppose. I knew he'd be thinking whatever I wanted couldn't have been that important.I heard him loosen his tie and settle onto the sofa. Then something changed in the energy of the house – that familiar pull between us that I couldn't explain. Before I could reach my bedroom door, I sensed him ascending the stairs with those long, powerful strides that always made my inner wolf stand at attention.Just as his hand was a

Allison's POV*Hiding her true nature was her plan. Falling for her "mate" wasn't.*The next morning, I was still buried in my nest of blankets when sharp knocking jolted me from sleep. Dragging myself to the door, I pulled it open to find Liam standing there in a perfectly tailored charcoal suit, not a hair out of place. The sight of him—powerful, polished, and radiating alpha energy—startled me fully awake.His eyes skimmed over my tangled hair and sleepy expression before deliberately looking away. Even with my scent disguised, I could feel the pull between us, that invisible thread tugging at something primal within me."Weren't you planning to go to work today?" he asked coolly. "What's the holdup?""Give me five minutes," I mumbled, running fingers through my knotted hair before slamming the door shut—nearly catching his nose in the process. Through the door, I heard his exasperated sigh followed by retreating footsteps.After a quick shower and wrestling myself into my business

Allison's POVMy heart pounded against my ribs as the realization hit me. I wanted to storm into Liam's office and demand why he'd lied to me this whole time.The proposal was for Lucent Group, which meant I'd have to go to King Enterprises to find Liam. If anyone discovered our relationship, we'd be finished."I'm not doing this proposal anymore. I'm giving it to Miranda," I said, clutching the file as I headed toward the director's office.Nicole grabbed my arm, stopping me. "What are you doing, Allison? Are you out of your mind?" she hissed. "This is such a great opportunity! Going to King could change your life. Isn't Gina pressuring you to get married? King is full of elite men—what if you connect with someone there? That would solve so many problems."I forced a laugh. If only Nicole knew I'd already married the biggest alpha at King Enterprises. Would she think I'd lost my mind? Because honestly, I felt like I was losing it. I still hadn't recovered from the shock of learning L
