Semua Bab Seeking the Love of an Alpha: Bab 31 - Bab 40

I shifted on the bed and stretched, my mouth wide open in a yawn as sunlight brushed my face.Wait, bed?My eyes snapped open, and I blinked as I came to be, taking in the room around me. How did I manage to find myself in our room on my bed?The last I remembered, I was with Sera, and we had been talking and having fun. But that was all; the rest was like a blank slate, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t remember it.I heard footsteps coming towards me, and my eyes snapped to my mate, walking out from the bathroom all wet and enticing with only a piece of towel hanging dangerously low on his hips.“Micah!” I exclaimed, unsure if it was from shock or excitement. I scampered from the bed, eager to get to him, and as soon as my legs touched the floor, they crumpled under me like the limbs of a two-year-old trying to support a bodybuilder.What the hell?“What happened to you yesterday?” Micah demanded, folding his arm across his chest. His muscles flexed as he talked, distractin

I cried until there was nothing left in me anymore. My voice had gone hoarse as I bore my heart out, and Sera had held me through it. Her hands moved in slow circles on my back, comforting me until the sobs had quieted to sniffles.I allowed myself one more moment of weakness and pressed myself fully into her, breathing in her scent, before removing myself from her hold.“Thank you.” I breathed out, unable to look her in the eyes. She had just seen me completely break down, very uncharacteristic of a Luna, and now I needed a moment to gather myself.“How are you doing, though?” Sera asked, her hand resting on my thighs, and I was grateful for that little contact grounding me, or else I would have collapsed.“I am…” I was not at all close to fine, just a second from crumbling again, so I swallowed the ‘F’ word and tried for another. “I am far from fine, but I will be.”“That is good to hear.” She said with a soft smile, staring at me with kind eyes. “I know you will be. You are stronge

It was surprisingly quiet after his words, the calm almost a false one that I waited with bated breath, watching for the drama that was bound to unfold.Yet none of that happened.Instead the people stared at their alpha, at the truth etched in his furrowed brows. Their murmurs filled the air, their faces twisted with displeasure, yet none could dare to speak against him, not when it spelled destruction.From the corner of my eyes, I noticed his hands twitching, as if ready to bestow judgement on anyone who dared, and I gulped.The people stared at their alpha, and slowly, the realization sank deep into them. Their faces twisted, while some had their jaws clenched, as they had been rendered powerless by his words.And seeing them looking so dejected and confused brought so much joy to me.They had thought Micah would support them and condemn me to death. I had thought so too, but I was glad it hadn’t been the case.Left with nothing to do, the people cast a final warning gaze at me, t

“I am starving.” Micah declared, his arms tightly wrapped around me while we caught our breath and my lips widened in a smile. I inched close to him, wanting to fuse with him.But a smile was too little an emotion to express what I had just experienced, so I burst into laughter, one emanating from deep inside me.The sound startled him, and he stared at me, his eyes softening with so much love, and I wondered why I had ever doubted my feelings for him.“You are happy.” He stated rather than asked, but I still responded.“Yes. I am.” This was the first time my mate had truly shown he loved me with his actions, also the first time I had gotten release from him, so of course I would be happy.“I am glad.” Micah's lips tugged in a smile, contentment reaching his eyes, and his lips met my forehead, gently kissing me, but his stomach rumbled, disrupting the moment.I burst out laughing again, so hard my stomach hurt. It had been so long since I had heard that sound from myself that I froze

“Where are we?” I asked, the question burning on my lips, and his smile only widened, while my confusion grew deeper.We were in front of a rather gigantic mountain with no sign of life, and as much as I was part beast, I wasn’t ready to fully survive with that side of me.“Do you trust me?” Micah asked while flashing the most devastating smile, utterly ruining me because I could never say no to him.“I have already trusted you with my life and heart, Micah, so yes, I do.” My response earned me a rare smile, one that had a tiny dimple peeking at his cheeks, and my eyes widened.The man was beautiful, but his heart was even more so.“Come on.” Micah said, tugging me towards the mountain, and I leaned on him, letting him lead us towards an opening.We entered what I finally recognized as a cave, and my jaw dropped open at the sight in front of me. My eyes widened, and my breath hitched.“Wow!” My eyes flitted all over the place, taking in all that was before me, and again the words were
