Submission in Secret: Alpha In Heat のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 81 - チャプター 90

ELIAS’S POVIt was finally the day of the Blood Moon and there was a different energy in the atmosphere. The air was thicker, humming with anticipation and something darker beneath it, like the world itself was holding its breath for the moment to come.Crimson ribbons were already being strung between trees, lanterns waiting to be lit once night fell. The Students were moving back and forth carrying crates, hanging charms in preparation for the Blood Moon festival.All the students were excited because it was something they had never experienced before but I was terrified and I couldn't dare show it.My arm had healed enough that I’d finally taken off the bandage that morning with the doctor's permission. The skin was still tender, but the wound was closed, leaving behind nothing more than a faint scar and a memory I couldn’t erase.I pretended to help the other first year students stack lanterns, but my eyes were never really on what my hands were doing. I was mapping the place inst

ELIAS’S POVThe night air vibrated with excitement and laughter, and everyone could feel a bit of unfamiliar magic in the air, but we were told it was normal for a blood moon night.Traditional Torches lined the clearing, their flames dancing wildly as students moved around in groups, laughing, drinking, and listening to the Council Members recount half-truths wrapped in old folklore Stories about the significance of Blood Moon, which include strength, balance, and unity of the werewolf community, but the stories carefully stripped of what the Blood Moon truly meant.There was no mention of Apex Omegas nor their awakening.I stood at the edge of the celebration,my back against a tall oak tree. From here, I could see everything and, more importantly, everyone.The guards were positioned in a wide perimeter, pretending to be relaxed while their eyes constantly swept the crowd. Council Members stood near the raised platform, their scents tense but controlled. And further back, slightly

ELIAS’S POVA deep, unfamiliar ache radiated through my body as I shifted on the bed. My entire body felt like it was run over by a large truck. My eyes fluttered open and I stared up at the rough stone ceiling of the underground cabin as my heart slammed violently against my ribs.The Blood Moon was over but the weakness in my body was still there.I swallowed hard and slowly turned my head. The old ticking watch mounted near the shelf caught my attention. It was already two hours past midnight.Panic surged through me so fast it made me dizzy when everything that happened earlier rushed through my mind. My chest began to tighten when the realization set in.Someone was here.Someone had seen me during my awakening And worse, the person now knows my secret and took advantage of my situation.‘I wouldn't say he took advantage of you,’ Carlos muttered inside my head, his voice steadier than mine. ‘Your lust was heightened and your omega scent was stronger. No Alpha or anyone could hav

ELIAS’S POVThe bar was already overflowing by the time we arrived. The loud music thudded through the walls, lights pulsed in dizzying colors, and the scent of alcohol, sweat, and wolf pheromones clung thickly to the air.The place was so busy that you wouldn't notice anything that was going on secretly. A part place for Galvin to execute his plan which was more reason for me to stay alert.The moment we stepped inside, the music stopped and every head turned to us. Galvin walked a half-step ahead, smiling like a proud host as he guided us toward the center booth.“Tonight is about our future leaders, Alpha Lucas, Beta Lucan and Gamma Jace,” he announced loudly, raising a glass. “Give it up to Silverhaven's future.”Cheers erupted in the bar as the loud music resumed. I barely had time to sit before two omega dancers were ushered forward by staff, clearly part of Galvin’s arrangement. They moved with practiced confidence, playful and teasing, settling on my laps amid laughter and wh

ELIAS’S POVSunlight filtered through the tall windows of my room, but my mind was still trapped in the shadows of the night before. No matter how hard I tried to focus on anything else, Kael’s words kept replaying in my head.“The bond only breaks if one of you dies,” he said after explaining the implications of the bond.The worst part was I won't be able to mark anyone as my mate either as long as his claim is still on me.I squeezed my eyes shut as my chest tightened. “I don't want anyone to die,” I muttered.Carlos stirred inside me, calmer than I felt.‘You’re worrying for nothing. We don’t even know if the person in the cabin was an Alpha.’I exhaled slowly, forcing myself to breathe. “You’re right. It's not confirmed yet.”‘It could have been a Beta or a Gamma,’ He continued. ‘We will figure that when school resumes but right now you should focus on Silverhaven winning the war against Crescent Pack and Nightbourne Pack for now.’I nodded as I sat up on my bed. “Yes, I should f
