All Chapters of The Alpha’s Girl: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

“Lily! I’m talking to you! You better come back here right now!”My mother’s voice pierced the calm evening air, sharp and desperate, but I didn’t stop. My sneakers hit the road in quiet defiance as I walked away from the house that didn’t feel like home. I didn’t even know where I was going only that I needed to get away.The wind brushed against my face, carrying the smell of wet earth and pine trees. Everything here looked perfect too perfect. The roads were smooth, the houses tall and shining, and the air so clean it almost smelled fake. I missed the noise, the mess, the city lights… I missed home.Cutie, my little brown dog, trotted beside me, his tiny paws pattering against the pavement. His tongue hung out, eyes drooping with exhaustion.“Alright, boy,” I sighed, glancing around before spotting a low stone bench by the roadside. “Let’s rest for a bit.”I sat down and leaned back, staring at the huge mansions across the street. Their windows glowed like eye

“Oh no, I’m going to be late!” I groaned, rushing out of the bathroom with my towel wrapped tightly around me.

I packed my breakfast into a bag because there was no way I could eat that much food right now. Dad had already given me permission to take his truck. “He’s such a good man,” I smiled, slipping on my knuckles rings. I was still admiring the car when my

“Lily, you’re not going anywhere. There’s nothing fun out there!” Mum shouted from the doorway, her voice sharp like a knife cutting through my chest.I froze, my hands gripping the edge of my study table. “What? Mom everyone is going! Why am I the only one being stopped? Even Kathryn is going to the party. Why are you always different when it comes to me?”She folded her arms, her eyes narrowing. “Lily, I said no. You are still new in this town, and you can’t go out at night especially not to some party filled with strangers. I don’t want to discuss this any further.”My heart thumped fast. “But Mom! Why are you treating me like a kid? I’ll be eighteen this year. I’m not a baby anymore. I’m an adult, for crying out loud! Please, just treat me like one for once.
