Lahat ng Kabanata ng To Tame The Monster Alpha: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

~Aliyana Pov~My heart slammed wildly, clawing at my chest as if it wanted out. The guard’s words repeated again and again—one of the prisoners had died.I couldn’t breathe. My lips parted, but no sound came out. My throat locked tight like a fist was pressing against it. I wanted to scream, but I didn’t dare.Who?The thoughts filled my head as I wondered what could have gone wrong.Disgust filled me as I remembered all the thoughts I had while I was away. I fantasized about a man I hated, a man that put me and my family through this while my sister suffered…she begged and cried in the dark hoping for the light…I shake my head, pushing that thought away,grasping to the little hope that maybe, just maybe it wasn’t her.Nolan’s face didn’t shift. His silver eyes stayed hard, unreadable. He nodded once, sharp and cold, then dismissed the guard with a flick of his hand. Just like that.“See to the body. I’ll handle it later,” Nolan said, his voice steady, cutting the air.The guard bowe

~Aliyana Pov~The fortress never slept, but tonight it was restless, shadows stretched farther, footsteps echoed louder, and the walls themselves felt like they were waiting for something to happen.And it did.The sound of a roar split the air, deep and terrifying. It wasn’t just any roar, it was Nolan’s. My stomach twisted as my chest tightened with dread.“She’s gone!” I heard his voice bellow, shaking through the walls. The floors beneath my feet vibrated from the force of his rage.My heart nearly stopped as I froze by the edge of the hallway. He knew. He knew Alessia wasn’t in her cage anymore.I clutched the railing so tightly my fingers ached, trying to stop the trembling. I couldn’t show it. I couldn’t let a single emotion betray me.If he suspected me, I was finished.“Bring me the guards!” Nolan’s voice thundered again, sharper this time.The doors burst open and Elias dragged in two of the guards from the red hall. Their faces were pale, their knees buckling beneath them a

~Aliyana Pov~The sound of clashing steel filled the hall, each strike ringing so loud it echoed through the stone walls like a storm that refused to die down. My palms stung from the grip of the sword, the hilt slick with sweat, but I refused to let go. Every time Nolan swung, it was with the precision of a man who had been trained for war his entire life. Every time I parried, it was with the desperation of a woman who refused to be broken.I wasn’t fighting for fun. I wasn’t fighting for him. I was fighting for my sanity.His blade came down hard, and I raised mine just in time to block it, the vibration rattling through my bones. Pain sparked in my wrists, but I forced a smirk onto my lips. “That's all you’ve got, Alpha? Or are you getting tired already?”His eyes burned, that infuriating glint that always reminded me of fire…fire that wanted to consume me, burn me into ashes, until there was nothing left but him. His lips curved into a grin, sharp and cruel. “Careful, bride. I c

~Aliyana Pov~It had been months since Alessia escaped and no one had found her yet.Joy warmed my heart every time I heard that she wasn’t found.Meanwhile, Maren and I had gotten closer, the walls of obedience and loyalty to Nolan were cracking and she was slowly helping me with information.Sometimes, I still doubted her loyalty towards me and I questioned if she reported back to Nolan, playing a double spy but I didn’t let that stop me from getting the information she was giving.The cold wind hit my face, as a sigh escaped my lips. The air and weather was beautiful and sunny, I was plotting different ways to take Nolan down, at least now that Alessia was out of the picture.Now I could go back to the original plan of killing him. A part of me told me that it wasn’t the reason why I stopped the plan but I shoved it away.I pressed my hands against the railing of the balcony, eyes scanning the endless stretch of mountains beyond the fortress. The world looked free out there, untouc

~Aliyana Pov~Breakfast was already over by the time I finally made my way down to the dining hall. I had timed it perfectly. Not by accident. Not because I had overslept or forgotten the hour. I had done it deliberately—like always.The long table stretched out before me, lined with golden plates and goblets that still gleamed faintly with the memory of food and wine. The air smelled faintly of roasted meats and spiced breads, sweet fruit perfumes still clinging to the room. Servants moved quietly, sweeping away crumbs, stacking trays, clearing glasses that had once belonged to Nolan, Elias, Calista, and the rest of his wolves.I hated eating with them. Sitting at that long table while Nolan’s gaze burned into me, while Calista smirked at me like she had already won some invisible battle. The clinking of cutlery, the fake laughter of warriors pretending their Alpha wasn’t a monster—it was suffocating.So I waited. I always waited. Let them have their feast. Let them play house around
