All Chapters of The Alpha's Scorn: His No More : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Yuri’s pov: Waking up groggy beyond words, I wondered what had happened. My memory was blurry, and I wasn’t quite sure how I ended up at the hospital again. The smell of disinfectant was pungent, and the bland walls were exactly the same as each time. And yet, how did I end up here? I wondered to myself, confusion filling me. And then, I remembered. The press conference, me getting the upper hand despite the elders’ meddling and the dean’s discrimination, the three omegas thanking me… Leading up to my thrashing in Leo’s arms, my hands tied together, while my past life’s events caught up with me. I looked down to see my hands were no longer tied. “I’m glad you’re awake,” the nurse drawled as she entered my room. She appeared to be young, younger than the ones I was used to, more respectful too, mindful of her tone as well. It must be the Alpha effect, I inwardly quipped. “Thanks,” I nodded at her as I sat up in bed, carefully moving around a bit, stretching my sore arms. “Ho

Leo’s pov: Seeing Yuri talk animatedly with that Beta made me see red. I wasn’t even sure why. She wasn’t mine to claim or mine to love… Yet, an uncomfortable feeling spread through my chest like wildfire, and I found myself following her, like a man obsessed, like a man possessed, as she tried to leave. The rest went exactly as I wanted it – up till we were interrupted, that was. Making out with a woman shouldn’t feel this sinful, I thought to myself as I looked at the tent in my trousers, letting out a mild groan of utter frustration. What kind of spell had she put me under exactly? I heard her make an excuse to Jackson as she left through the door of the study. He ate it up like the sucker he was. That’s for the best, a part of me argued, knowing I was out of line for even lusting after her. And yet, she made it so easy in her simple yet somehow chic black dress. She was effortlessly beautiful, and knew exactly what she was doing by smiling at him, and giggling to his jokes.

Yuri’s pov:“You could stay, you know, Yuri?” Mom let out softly, even though I had reached the gates already. “It’s okay, mom,” I shook my head negatively. “I wouldn’t want to get caught up in any drama.” “I understand,” she heaved a sigh. Then, grabbing my hands, she added, “Please be safe.” I merely nodded my response. Soon, I was on my way out into the dead of the night. Before long, however, I realized that the weather promised hell to pay, and in my hurry to come earlier, I had forgotten to bring an umbrella. There were no buses in sight, and knowing that it would take me roughly 20 minutes to reach the next station on foot, I briefly wondered if running there was an option. I wouldn’t want to miss the curfew after all. A concerned look at my wrist watch told me I would better hurry. I was looking down at my phone, ready to call an Uber, when it began to rain… Only it didn’t just rain, it poured, rendering my hands slippery, and my phone fell to the ground. With a sil

Yuri’s pov: To my surprise, despite the desire swirling in the depths of his eyes, Leo didn’t act on it. He made a beeline to the bathroom instead, and before long, I could hear the water cascading down in there. The fact that he would rather take a shower than touch me told me we might be on the good path after all. A quick look outside the window warned me against leaving. It was raining cats and dogs, and I would rather not risk a cold, so close to the competition date at that. I heaved a sigh and turned to the guest room. I hated how I knew my way around a place that was never mine to explore. But as it was, I was still glad I had escaped the downpour. Knowing I had no choice but to sleep here, I soon settled in bed, feeling overly sluggish. Before long, I was slipping into the land of the dreams – only it wasn’t dreams that awaited me, but nightmares instead. I saw Violet’s lifeless body in the casket again. And as I placed the origami next to her hand, I could almost swea

Yuri’s pov: Coming to the following morning, I was pleasantly surprised to notice that I was no longer burning up. My memories were foggy. And I couldn’t recall for the life of me if Leo had given me meds… But I seriously doubted it. He had never been that attentive to me or my needs after all – never mind my health. Before I could dwell on it, however, nature called. Feeling the need to use the bathroom, I rushed there without thinking twice. It was only once I pushed the door open that I realized my mistake – I should have knocked. And Leo should have closed the door, damn it! “Here to join me?” The devil himself let out in a teasing tone of voice, from where he was soaking in the bath tub. “N… No,” I stammered timidly, shaking my head frantically, even though my eyes refused to close. I had enough strength to turn around and even opened back the door, ready to bolt out of there… only the door of the bedroom to open. Stifling a gasp, I didn’t hesitate to close the door of t
