Semua Bab Seeking the Love of an Alpha: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Life was finally looking up for me. I had marched to the school the next day and on time just to see the frown on the head teacher’s face. And she didn’t disappoint; immediately her eyes landed on me, she swelled up like a puffed fish, and her jaw locked in place.I was assigned to teach kindergarten, and from the sly smile on her face, I knew it was intentional. However, I had told her to give me a class, and she had done just that, so I couldn’t complain.I was assigned to take them through history, and that was fine by me. They were still so little, and all I needed to do was teach them the few important things they had to know.Slowly, I had begun to adjust to the job and, dare I say, fall in love with it. Plus I got to spend time with Sera, and as the children began to open up to me, their parents had no choice but to do the same.The rest of the week passed in a blur of laughter, tiny hands, and endless questions. By the time I got home that evening, I was an exhausted mess, bu

I loved the new air between us, the one where we were finally sure of our feelings and we had moved past the feeling of being unmarked.One that had me waking up every day and falling more and more in love with my mate, and I was content with staying like this, marked or unmarked.I had woken up that day a little early, and I blinked as I tried to focus, but his face came into view, and I was melting in a smile.“Hello, dear, How did you sleep?” His baritone caressed my skin like light touches, and I nodded gently.“It was perfect.” It was better than perfect. We had stayed awake for most of the night, talking about everything, and he had admitted he wasn’t ready to start a family.I was only too happy to agree, not at all ready to start any. I still had PTSD from my days with my parents, and I needed to unlearn everything they had impacted me with before raising my own children.However, it was enough that we were on the same page with this.“Will you be leaving for work?” He asked,

I screamed, wanting the whole world to feel my pain, to feel my anguish, because every day with me in this world and Micah without was going to be like that.Tears streamed down my face, my nose running uncontrollably, all falling on the lifeless body of the man I loved. The one whose body had once burned so brightly beside me, on me, was now going cold with every passing minute.I shook him, desperate to cling to any hope of life still on him, but it was useless, so I lowered my head, pressing my lips on him as I remembered the breathing technique we had been taught.My lips covered his mouth, breathing air on him and not caring for the blood or foam on me. I was numbed to the fact that I could die from what had killed him for just taking in those substances, but I was a mad woman now.I was willing to do anything in exchange for my mate, even if I were to give my life in exchange for his. He deserved it better than I did.It was useless, however; his body remained lifeless in my arm

“I didn’t do anything.” I bit back, but his hand came down hard, snapping my head to the side before I could react.“Wrong answer.” Malcolm burst out, shaking in laughter and taking too much pleasure in this. I gritted my teeth against the pain, ingraining his voice in my head for when I would come for him. “Oh yeah, for every wrong response, you get punished.” I raised my head to stare at him, and his lips widened so much as he smiled. He was enjoying this too much, and I promised he will be the first to go when I am ready.“What did you do to Micah?” Malcom asked again, this time with spittle flying in my face, and my skin bristled at the fact he had mentioned his name.No one had that right except me.“I didn’t do anything.” I said through clenched fists, and I braced myself for the impact, stiffening to take the pain. A shocked gasp tore from my lips as pain exploded across my cheek. No matter how much I braced myself, it was not something I could take, and the copper tang of bl

My heart leaped as I heard the voice coming towards me, relief flooding my heart as I made out, through swollen lids, Sera walking towards me.My lips parted, and I inhaled deeply, slowly exhaling it, and for the first time since Micah left, a smile formed on my lips. However, the action hurt enough to make me whine.My eyes weakly followed her movement, and light shone around her, making it look like she was a savior coming after me.She may have as well been that.“Sera.” I breathed her name, my eyes slowly closing from all the strain I had put them through, but I had no worry again. She was here, and she would testify to the truth.I felt her close to me, her scent wrapping around me, feeling like a warm hug, and I waited, straining my ears to hear her defense of me.“I have come to testify about Ryan Everhart, the mate of our beloved alpha.” She began in a solemn voice that spoke ages of sorrow and grief, and that should have been the first warning sign.The fact that she had call
