All Chapters of To Tame The Monster Alpha: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

~Aliyana POV~The morning air was soft and cold, brushing against my cheeks as I stepped into the garden. I needed to breathe—to think—to stop feeling trapped within the fortress walls. The world outside was still dark, a pale glow creeping over the horizon. The scent of dew on grass mixed with the faint sweetness of roses. It was peaceful, deceptively peaceful, as if the soil itself wanted to lull me into forgetting everything that had happened.But forgetting was impossible.I ran my fingers through the petals of a white rose and stared at it until my vision blurred. Two months had passed since the poison incident. Two months of pretending I was fine. Two months of keeping my head high even though every muscle in my body still remembered the weakness, the near-death ache, and the humiliation of collapsing in front of him.Nolan.Even thinking his name felt like a betrayal.I had told myself I would focus on my plan. That I would keep pushing toward revenge, uncovering Calista’s invo

~Aliyana Pov~The sound of boots echoed through the corridor before I even reached the top of the stairs. It wasn’t hurried or uncertain. It was sharp, deliberate, each step filled with something that made my stomach twist.I knew that sound.I had heard it once before, when Nolan lost control during a council meeting, when the air around him shifted and everyone went still.Now it was coming for me.The guards who had followed me from the cells froze, their faces paling as his shadow appeared at the end of the hallway. His presence filled the space before he even spoke, silver eyes cold, jaw set like stone.“What,” his voice cut through the silence, low and dangerous, “were you doing in the lower cells?”Every word was calm, but it carried a weight that pressed against my skin.I swallowed hard, keeping my voice steady. “I heard they brought someone in. I needed to see for myself.”“You mean your sister.”It wasn’t a question.I straightened my shoulders. “Yes.”The air seemed to dro

~Nolan’s POV~The sound of her defiance still echoed in my head long after I left her room.Every word, every glare, every trembling breath that dared to challenge me, burned like acid in my mind. I had been patient. I had tolerated her sharp tongue, her constant disobedience, her need to question everything. But today, she crossed a line.The moment I saw her in the lower cells, standing in front of Alessia,I felt something split inside me.It wasn’t jealousy. It wasn’t pain, It was rage. Pure, blinding rage.Because she made me look weak.The guards had seen her. The council had already started whispering. The Alpha’s bride, sneaking into the dungeons to defend a prisoner accused of treason. My prisoner. My decision. My command.And she undermined it in front of everyone.When I entered the council chamber, the whispers stopped,but their eyes didn’t. They never stopped watching. Even when they bowed their heads, I could feel it, doubt creeping like rot under the surface.Elan spoke

~Aliyana’s POV~The sound of the lock turning startled me awake. Morning light barely touched the corners of the room, soft and cold, painting the walls in pale gray. I blinked, sitting up slowly, disoriented. My wrists still ached from being bound earlier, though Nolan hadn’t allowed the guards to tie me for long. I didn’t know how much time had passed, only that I’d stopped counting.The door opened, and a familiar voice said flatly, “You’re being released.”Maren.I frowned, confused. “What?”She stepped inside, her face unreadable as always, though something in her posture felt off. “Get ready. Lord Nolan wants everyone at the training yard.”Everyone.The word lodged in my chest like a stone. Why would he want everyone there? Why now?I stood, smoothing my wrinkled clothes. “Did he say why?”“No.” Her tone was clipped, distant.My stomach twisted uneasily. “And why am I being released early?”Her eyes flicked to me briefly, then away. “Orders.”“Maren,” I said, following her as s

Aliyana’s POVThe next morning came like a blur. I didn't remember falling asleep, but when my eyes opened, the dim light spilling through the barred window told me it was already another day.Silence.That was all there was.No footsteps in the corridor, no servants bringing breakfast, no familiar knock from Maren telling me to get ready.Just silence, heavy and loud enough to drive me insane.My throat was dry. My stomach ached from hunger, but that wasn’t what hurt the most. What hurt was the thought of Alessia’s voice echoing in my head, replaying over and over.You’re not my sister.Each time I heard it again, it cut deeper.I sat on the floor, knees pulled to my chest, staring at the single ray of light crawling across the stone floor. I had tried calling for someone at first, pounding on the door, demanding to be let out. But no one came.No answer. No sound.Just the faint, haunting quiet of my own thoughts.I had been locked away before, but this was different. This wasn’t pu
