All Chapters of The Alpha’s Girl: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

I didn’t say anything as we walked out of the building.Byrain’s grip on my hand was firm..too firm, like he was scared that if he let go, I’d vanish into thin air.A few students were still hanging around the corridors, talking in small groups, but all I could hear was the sound of our footsteps echoing down the stone path.My heart was still racing, I kept looking around nervously, worried someone might see us together.“Byrain,” I whispered, tugging his hand a little. “People are watching.”“I don’t care,” he said, his voice calm but tight.I frowned. “You should. We can’t just walk out like this, everyone’s going to start talking.”That made him stop walking…he turned to me slowly, his eyes were darker than usual calm, but holding something heavy behind them.“You think I didn’t see the way he was looking at you?” he said quietly.I blinked, confused. “Who?”“Elvins,” he said, his tone sharp. “He looked at you like he wanted to touch you..

I was scared to go back to my room.Even though the police had taken the antelope away, the thought of stepping into that space again made my skin crawl. The memory of that smell, the blood, those lifeless eyes it all clung to me like smoke I couldn’t escape.It was Saturday, no school, thank God, so at least I didn’t have to go to school, mum sat beside me in the sitting room, her robe tightly wrapped around her like she was holding herself together, I sat quietly with Cutie in my arms, rubbing her soft fur as if that would calm the pounding in my chest.My stepdad was still on the phone, pacing back and forth, his voice sharp and cold.A few minutes later, two police officers came to the sitting room, they had their notepads in hand, faces serious, but their eyes gave them away they were confused.“We’ve taken some samples, sir,” one of them said. “We’ll also need access to your CCTV recordings for the last twenty-four hours.”My stepdad nodded stiffly

“Lily, look at me,” Bryan said, pulling me out of my thoughts his voice sounded worried, like he already knew something was wrong “You need to say something, I can tell you’re keeping something from us.”I hesitated my hands were cold and shaky..every where was quiet, too quiet, and I could feel both Bryan and Elvin watching me, waiting for me to talk, I took a deep breath and finally spoke.“During the weekend,” I said softly, “someone broke into my room and left a note for me in my bathroom. It said I should stay away from you, Bryan.”Bryan’s eyes widened he looked completely thrown off, his mouth parting like he wanted to say something but couldn’t, he ran his hands through his hair, letting out a long sigh.“Lily… so all this is happening because of me?” he asked, his voice low and full of guilt.He sat down heavily, elbows on his knees, head buried in his hands, Elvin leaned against the wall beside me, arms crossed.“What else did the person say?” he as

I decided to go back to my room, I can’t keep running forever… it’s not like I wouldn’t be hurt there too, even in the guest room.. my chest tightened at the thought, but I had no choice.That night, the wind wouldn’t stop.I rolled over and stared at my phone, the screen lighting up my face. 10:42 PM.No messages from Byrain.I typed one, erased it, then typed again.Are you awake?Before I could hit send, a soft tap came from the balcony.My heart skipped.Another tap.Slowly, I turned my head toward the sound, dread crawling up my spine, my curtains fluttered lightly, shadows shifting behind them.“Lily,” a voice whispered.I froze. I knew that voice.I jumped off the bed and rushed to the balcony window, pulling it open just enough to see Bryan, standing outside in a dark hoodie, his hair slightly messy, eyes glinting in the moonlight.“Bryan?” I hissed, “What are you doing here?”He gave a small smile, though I could see

Early morning settled over the city as we moved through the community in small groups, notebooks, donations, and gift bags in hand.“Careful!” someone yelled as a box nearly slipped from their grasp, we laughed, steadying it together.Byrain walked beside me, calm as always, but today he seemed… softer, almost playful, tossing a grin at someone struggling with a bag, i caught myself noticing.The orphanage came first, the gate creaked as we pushed it open, and a flood of little faces appeared, wide-eyed and curious, some ran straight toward us, calling out names we didn’t know.I tripped over my own feet as one of the children nearly collided with me Byrain caught my elbow, grinning “Careful, Luna,” he teased I laughed, shaking my head.We handed out books, snacks, and little toys, their excitement was contagious, one girl held my hand for a moment, her tiny fingers warm and trembling, and whispered, “Thank you.” A lump rose in my throat.Byrain, meanwhile, h
