Semua Bab Ditching the Alpha for the Alpha King: Bab 1 - Bab 7

Emotion choked me, and the dormant wolfsbane in my blood flared to life. Pain seared through me as I clutched my heart and fell to my knees.Inside her ward, Lilith stirred. A glass shattered, followed by a soft, pitiful cough.Alexander dropped everything and rushed to her, dragging the healer in after him.The healer glanced at me and whispered to him, "Lily's condition is worsening. The wolfsbane has relapsed. She needs those herbs urgently."He hesitated only a moment before replying, "Lilith is pregnant. Two lives are at stake. She comes first."The healer faltered, caught between duty and guilt.I laughed softly and shook my head, forcing myself upright despite the pain."It's fine. I'll find medicine on my own."Alexander looked at me and let out a short, frustrated laugh. Just as he reached out to take my hand, Li

The chat window was still blank. Not a single message.A dull heaviness pressed on his chest. He dialed Lily's number. The dial tone rang once, twice—then ended with an autom

This time, Alexander was certain Lily was only angry—furious enough to stage an act with the Alpha King just to get back at him. If he went to bring her home himself, she'd forgive him. She always did.A chime sounded from the cockpit, "Warning! Turbulence ahead. Alternate route advised."But that was the only shortcut. Taking it would get him to Lily faster.He gritted his teeth and pressed forward through the clouds. The plane shuddered violently; the reopened wound on his shoulder soaked through his shirt, blood spreading like a red bloom across his suit.Four hours later, he landed in Asteria.A young girl selling roses passed by the airstrip. He tossed her a hundred-dollar bill and took the entire bouquet without a word.Then he wired several hundred thousand to dismiss the taxi driver and seized the wheel himself, racing toward Edgar's estate in Asteria.He hadn't eaten in a day. His lips were pale, his eyes shadowed and sunken. But he never eased his foot off the accelera
