All Chapters of To Tame The Monster Alpha: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

Aliyana’s POVI couldn’t breathe.The Alpha’s words landed like a physical blow, knocking the air out of my lungs.“You will marry me,” he said.Me?My throat constricted as if invisible fingers were closing around it. My lungs wouldn’t obey. I dragged in shallow, shaky breaths that made me lightheaded. When I said I’d do anything to shield my sister from her fate, I hadn’t meant inheriting it. I hadn’t meant standing here, trembling before a man like him.I turned desperately to my father, my eyes stinging. He looked as stunned as I was, paralyzed, jaw slack, no words forming.I opened my mouth, closed it, opened it again. Nothing came out the first time. The second time I forced words through the tightness strangling my chest.“I— I’m sorry, what do you mean?” My voice cracked. It was barely a whisper, yet somehow too loud in the heavy silence.Alpha Nolan smiled like I’d amused him.

Saints bled out in the gutter.My mother was a bit like her sister. I watched her kindness rot inside her body while my father grew fat on blood and fear. I swore I’d never be like her. I swore I’d never be weak.And so, I became what the world needed me to be. The nightmare they whispered about when t

Aliyana’s POVThe echo of their laughter still clung to me like smoke. No matter how many steps I put between myself and that courtyard, I could still hear the whispers. She’s not the one. She’s the wrong girl. Not beautiful enough. Not Luna enough.The fortress corridors swallowed me whole as I followed a pair of guards deeper inside. The air smelled of stone and iron, cold and sharp, like the bite of a blade. I hated how every step sounded like chains. Even though my wrists were free, I wasn’t free. The guards stopped at a tall set of double doors. One pushed them open, revealing a room so grand it almost mocked me. High arched ceilings carved with wolves and moons, velvet curtains heavy enough to drown a person, a bed so large it looked like it could swallow me alive.“This will be your chamber,” one guard announced without emotion. “The bride of Fangred deserves no less.”The words twisted inside me.
