บททั้งหมดของ Protector of the Alpha's cursed heir. : บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Annie was curled up in Alpha’s chest. It felt warm, comfortable and risky too—All she could think about was everything she had been through today and also the thought of what the future could hold for her and her unborn child filled her head, the thought of what her life used to be like—her friends and acquaintance from the orphanage homes she's lived in, but deep down somewhere In her heart she doesn't want to be away from Alpha. The question is will she be safe?Apha held her for a brief moment then whispered into her hair. "I’ve got you. Go to sleep. You need to rest.”She eventually fell asleep, but he didn’t. He stayed awake all night, one hand splayed over her belly.****Meanwhile, Onika was in her room tossing left to right because she couldn't sleep. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Alpha carrying Annie. She remembered the way his bedroom door shut while she stood outside. She kicked off the blanket, paced and paced again.Finally, she gave up.She left the room and w

That was exactly when everything went wrong. The candles around Eloise's circle suddenly flared up—all of them at once. The small flames jumped from two inches high to two feet high in a single instant, like someone turned up a gas burner. Everyone froze. "What the hell—" one of Elder Isaiah's men said. Then, the shelf full of dusty books by the wall burst into flames. Not gradually—One second, the books were just doing fine on the shelf. Next, they were on fire, flames racing up the ceiling like it had been soaked in gasoline. The fire spread impossibly fast, jumping from the curtains to the wooden shelves. Elder Isaiah’s eyes opened wide, and he was staggering looking for any corner the fire had not gone to. "What is this?" He said frantically. "Fire!" someone from the main mansion shouted. Apparently, there was fire there too, not just the room where he was interrogating the doctors. Elder Isaiah's men scattered, some running for the stairs, others looking around wildly for

Alpha walked further into the room. His face was calm and relaxed, but his brothers knew that look. That was the look Alpha made right before he killed someone."Well, I'm here now Lady Eden." Alpha gestured around the plain living room. "Shall we have a toast?... I'll give it to you, what you pulled with Adam was quite an impressive move." His two hands went to his back while he smiled. "And incredibly stupid" Dante snorted quietly.Lady Eden's smile didn't change. "Your child is an abomination, Killian Zerok. Surely you understand that.""Is that so?""The prophecy is clear." Lady Eden spoke like a teacher explaining something simple to a student. "That baby will destroy the supernatural world. Every vampire, every werewolf, every witch—gone. Would you really let all of us die just so you can have your legacy continued? Just so you can prove you're powerful?"Alpha tilted his head slightly. His voice was soft, almost pleasant. "You seem to be under the illusion that I care.""You s

Multiple delivery trucks from the FedEx delivery company lined up in the driveway. And men in uniforms were unloading Rose flower bouquets—each of them beautifully plaited and tied with a pink ribbon. Not just a few bouquets, but thousands of them.Alpha literally bought all the flowers in the city of Seattle. The first truck was filled with white roses—hundreds of them, each one perfect and their petals white like snow. The delivery men were carrying them in armfuls, setting them down on the porch, in the entryway, and anywhere they could find space around Annie. The second truck pulled up as they watched, and this one was filled with red roses. Deep, blood-red roses. They kept coming—bouquet after bouquet after bouquet.Then a third truck. This one had mixed flowers—tulips and peonies and orchids and lilies and daisies and sunflowers. Every colour imaginable. Every type of flower Annie had ever seen and some she hadn't."What—what is this?" Annie breathed, her hand covering her mo

Annie sat on the edge of her bed staring at her hands.She'd come here yesterday after Alpha's cruelty to Peggy. She couldn't sleep in his room. Couldn't lie in his bed and pretend everything was fine when it wasn't. She was about to say 'YES' to him yesterday but right now she doesn't know what she wants anymore. She hadn't slept.She feels a strange heat in her hands. The air around her suddenly went hot as if fire had been lit in the room for just a second.Something had changed.She felt it. Deep inside her. A shift. A waking up of something that had been sleeping."Why do I feel so strange?" She said, walking straight into the bathroom for a cold shower.Annie stood alone in the bathroom, staring at her reflection in the mirror.That's when she noticed the scented candles.There were three of them sitting on the counter beside the sink—white candles in glass holders. They are simply decorative and meaningless but all of a sudden, the candles lit themselves. They were burning.An
