All Chapters of The Alpha’s Girl: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

By the time class ended, the sun was already sliding down, painting the sky orange and purple.“Are you ready?I asked Linda as she kept her books inside her locker.“Yeah,I’m done”Linda and I walked to the parking lot, both too tired to talk much. I just wanted to get home, take a hot shower, and maybe read a few pages before bed.We got into my car, and I drove off with the windows half-down, the breeze carrying the smell of roasted corn from somewhere nearby.When we reached her street, Linda unbuckled her seatbelt and smiled sleepily.“Thanks, bestie. Text me when you get home, okay?”“Sure thing,” I said, waving as she ran toward her house.Once the gate closed behind her, I turned back to the main road. It was quiet. Only a few streetlights flickered to life as dusk thickened. Then, ahead of me, I noticed two figures standing in the middle of the road.At first, I slowed down, thinking maybe they were just crossing. But they didn’t move. The

Byrain’s car stopped right in front of my house. I didn’t even realize when we got there; everything still felt blurry, like my body was here but my mind was still in the woods.Before we arrived, I vaguely remembered hearing him talking on the phone. His voice was low, calm, and steady.“Linda,Lily’s safe. I’m bringing her home right now.”Even in that state of shock, hearing those words gave me a strange kind of peace.When the car finally stopped, my mom came rushing out before I could even open the door. “Lily!” she cried, her voice trembling as she threw her arms around me. Her hug was tight too tight but I didn’t push her away. I just stood there, shaking silently.Behind me, Byrain’s voice came, quiet and gentle.“She’ll be fine, ma. She just needs to rest.”Mom turned to him, tears in her eyes. “Thank you, son. Thank you so much.”He nodded slightly, eyes dark with worry, then turned and walked away without looking back. I watched him until he

“Mum, I’m going to the estate shopping mall. I’ll be back soon,” I said, grabbing my phone and car keys.Mum turned from where she was standing and walked toward me. “Go with the driver, Lily. Don’t go alone,” she said firmly. “You know how things have been lately.”“Okay, I will,” I said, trying not to roll my eyes.Mr. Andrew looked up from the book he was reading. “Please be careful,” he said in his calm but serious voice. “And if you notice anything strange, call immediately, alright?”“Yes, sir,” I said with a small smile. “I’ve heard. See you later.”I waved lightly and headed out the door, already hearing Mum’s faint voice behind me, “Don’t stay too long!”Of course, Mum and Dad wouldn’t hear of me going alone, not after everything that had happened. So, as always, the driver had to tag along.I didn’t argue. Honestly, I’d gotten used to having someone trail behind me everywhere like a shadow. Still, it felt strange being watched, controlled. But w

The silence between us felt heavy but peaceful. Byrain hadn’t said much since we left the cafeteria, and honestly, I didn’t know what to say either, I just wanted him to feel okay. Seeing him that sad made me a bit angry not at him, but at myself. I hated that I was the reason he was hurting. Everything that happened replayed in my mind like a movie I couldn’t pause.After a few minutes, I pulled away from his arms and forced a small smile. “My driver’s around already,” I said softly. “I should be going home.”He looked up at me, eyes still shadowed with something I couldn’t read and I know he wanted me to stay, then he nodded slowly. “Alright. I’ll walk you to the parking garage.”We walked side by side through the quiet hallway. The air between us was thick with unspoken questions, worry, and that strange pull I always felt when I was near him. When we reached the garage, my car was already waiting.Byrain stood close, his hands shoved in his pockets, watching

Byrain carefully led me back, retracing the path he had taken to get there. We moved swiftly and quietly, slipping through the fence just as silently as we had before. The night was still, but every crackle of leaves or snap of a twig made them tense.When we reached the fence, he helped me over with ease, careful not to make a sound. I almost tripped, but his hands were there in an instant. I felt safe, yet my stomach still fluttered from adrenaline.Then I heard it a voice. A security guard’s footsteps were approaching, probably investigating the noise. My heart jumped into my throat. Oh no… we can’t be caught now. Byrain didn’t hesitate; he pulled me behind a tree, pressing me close. I could feel the warmth of his body and the steady beat of his heart against mine.Stay calm, Lily… just stay calm. He won’t see us. Don’t move… i whispered silently to myself. My hands clenched slightly at my sides as the flashlight beam swept dangerously close. Every tiny sound my breat
