บททั้งหมดของ The Demon Alpha’s Kryptonite: บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

SOLANA I hummed under my breath as I walked out of the house. The fresh morning air hit me and I closed my eyes, inhaling deeply. How fortunate I was to see yet another morning. Roman had left me a note saying he was off to a meeting, and he'd also left me a single rose. I just couldn't stop smiling. Today, I decided that I would hit the gym. I wanted to be stronger. I didn't want to be bulky or anything like that. I just wanted to be strong enough to defend myself. I pulled my reddish brown hair into a high bun with a rubber band and was just about to head towards the gym when I saw Nigel by the annex. He stood there, rubbing the back of his neck and pacing back and forth. Nigel finally noticed me when I stepped off the path. His head snapped up too quickly for someone who was usually so composed, but the rest of him stayed rigid, his shoulders squared rigidly. It looked too much like he was trying to hold himself in place. "Luna," he greeted, his voice slightly strained.

SOLANA I fiddled with my fingers, my heart racing in my chest. I wasn't sure if my hands were shaking in anticipation or outright fear. But one thing was certain. The moment of truth had finally arrived. "Thank you for your hospitality, Alpha Roman," Alpha Reid said, smiling at my husband. I wasn't sure if he could tell that Roman was blind. But it was clear that the man was still not fond of me. He refused to glance my way, almost like I was an insignificant creature under his boots. And as I watched him, he looked and felt more familiar by the second. "In every life I've lived, this is the first time you've reached out to ask about the past, Roman. And I'm curious to know why you suddenly want to know what happened in the past. Are you not afraid of what awareness might bring?" Alpha Reid asked, and I swallowed hard, my chest tight. Roman reached for my hand, and I stiffened. Could he sense that I was about to melt right there on the couch from nerves? He laced our fing

SOLANA Roman sighed, wiping his nose with the back of his hand. Then he turned his head towards the door. I tensed right away, thinking he was going to walk away without giving me any answer. Hadn't I been patient enough? I just wanted to know more because I couldn't afford to lose him or this new life of mine."Anna, tell him I'm occupied at the moment. If the situation is dire, ask him to speak with Nigel or reach out to Ciara," he said, his voice hoarse."Yes, Alpha," Anna responded.Ciara. He must be talking about his Delta, the pretty lady with a baby. Roman winced, leaning back against the headboard."You asked about the deadline," my husband uttered, and I gulped, bracing myself."My thirtieth birthday is in nine months, Solana."I frowned, watching him carefully."What happens if I don't give you a child before then?" I asked, my pulse racing.Roman closed his eyes, inhaling deeply. "I'll die."My chest tightened, my stomach dropping. Nine months...Nine months to sa

SOLANA Roman's gaze met mine, lingering for a few seconds before I looked away. I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. Things were going to be different from now on, no matter what. And therefore, I needed to stop cowering at the mention of Elric's name. "Go ahead," Roman said to Hawke. "There are rumors that he's been performing a dark ritual. A certain witch has been frequenting their pack house and she was recently seen close to the town border," Hawke replied. That sounded ominous. What would he need a witch for? Unease crept up my spine. Just then, I sensed a familiar presence behind the kitchen door, almost like they were eavesdropping. I frowned. Selene? The moment the thought crossed my mind, I noticed the shadow from under the door moving quickly. "Any updates on the werewolf hunters?" My husband asked, and Hawke sighed. "The posters are all gone, that's what Nigel told me. Honestly? I suspect the Alpha king is onto something. It seems to me that he's p

ROMAN She didn't see or sense me coming. And when I appeared right in front of her before she could run, blood drained from her face. This was the first time we were meeting face to face like this. I'd merely heard about her from Nigel. She swallowed hard, her gaze darting to the corner as her shaky hands clutched at the fabric of her dress. Selene looked nothing like Solana. Well, that would be understandable if they were not biologically related."Enlighten me, Selene. Why were you eavesdropping?" I said, taking a step towards her. She shuffled backwards, gulping loudly."I was just c-curious about the G-guard. I've never seen them b-before. So, I thought...""You'd take the opportunity and get a good look at them? Why? Do you want an autograph? Or maybe a selfie? You would like that, wouldn't you?"She shivered, her face turning even paler. She reeked strongly of fear, it appeared as though she was about to pass out from the intensity of that foul emotion."P-please," she
