All Chapters of Alpha Salvatore: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Aria:I woke up before him.It was the first time that it had happened.The room was quiet, sun barely breaking through the curtains, Dominic still asleep with one arm flung across the empty space beside him. His chest rose and fell steadily, his expression peaceful, almost boyish. It was strange seeing him like this. Unarmored. Unaware. Completely content and resting.I slipped out of the bed quietly, smiling despite myself, and headed for the shower.The water helped clear my thoughts or tried to. Because every time my mind drifted, it drifted back to him.His hands. His voice. The way he softened just for me. The way he soothed me when I felt weakest. His eyes on mine…I hated feeling weak, vulnerable, or even pained. And yet, with him, I found myself letting my guard down.By the time I stepped out wrapped in a towel, I’d made up my mind: I wasn’t running today.I put on a simple white dress. I wasn’t even sure why Benna kept packing it for me whenever I came here, but I

Aria:Three days.Three entire days tucked away in Dominic’s room, barely stepping outside the balcony, barely remembering what the consort hall even looked like. Three days of him, his hands, his warmth, his teasing, his lips, his certainty.Three days of forgetting the world existed.But eventually, reality crept back in.And this morning, after breakfast and one last kiss that nearly pulled me back into bed, I finally walked out of his room.“You seem to have been enjoying yourself.” Brenna said, and I raised an amused eyebrow as a small smile formed on my lips. “You are doing yourself good. The Alpha is enjoying your presence.”“You say that as if you never expected it.”“I did… but never in my entire time here have I seen a woman stay in the Alpha’s room for three nights. I expected another. I am glad you chose to walk out before he got bored of you.” She said, and I scoffed before I could stop myself.“And who said that he would?” I asked, making her smile, a trusting and knowin

Dominic:Aria walked into my room that night with something I found myself craving to see whenever she stepped in.A smile…Not forced. Not careful. Not polite. A real one.It was not the one that others trained themselves to draw on their faces whenever they saw me, and it wasn’t one that showed nothing more than a game that they all wanted me to see.Her wolf’s heat simmered faintly in the air around her, but her steps were light, relaxed, almost… content. And when she closed the door behind her, her shoulders didn’t sag with tension. They loosened.She was happy.But her eyes… those eyes that always betrayed her even when she hid everything else, carried something quieter beneath the surface.Something she hadn’t said yet.Something that I wanted her to be the one to tell me before I brought it up.I moved toward her slowly, watching her expression shift as her gaze lifted to mine.“You look pleased with yourself,” I said, unable to stop the small pull of a smile tugging at my mou

Dominic:“The fact that they chose to come here without earlier notice should worry you, Dominic.” Elijah persisted as the two of us walked out of my office.“I believe that if there was an issue, we would have heard about it long before they showed up. Yes, their presence is not one that I enjoy, but I know that we have been under a radar, and with rogues playing around, this might be another sighting of them, or them needing tropes to help.” I said, and Elijah shook his head.“What if it was Leon?” He asked, making me frown.“He wouldn’t dare.” I said, and Elijah shook his head, but the idea that he put in my mind played itself on repeat. And it happened in a way that if found myself not liking.The council chamber smelled of old wood, ink, and the suffocating weight of tradition.I hated being summoned here.I entered, Elijah at my side, and the elders were already seated, five of them, each with a face carved from stone. Not one smile. Not one nod of respect.Only judgment.Only e

Aria:The moment I stepped into my room, my heartbeat thrashed against my ribs so violently it felt like the entire world could hear it.Not jealousy.Not fear.Something sharper.Betrayal’s echo.Even if it wasn’t fair.Even if it wasn’t logical.My wolf paced furiously beneath my skin.Brenna slipped inside behind me and shut the door quickly, as if afraid someone might overhear.“Aria, I know that you are angry, but I am begging you… please don’t do anything foolish,” she said, voice low, measured.I turned on her, breath uneven. “How did it happen? Why?”Brenna blinked. “How did what…?”“How did he call for her?” I snapped, pacing. “How did he reject her and then, then this? When he told me…?” My voice cracked, and I clenched my jaw until the shake stopped. “When he told me she was no longer his Luna. How did this happen? He wasn’t calling for her before, I was in his room every night. And when he tells me that he rejected her, that she is no longer his, he calls for her? How?”Br
