An Alpha's Obsession 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 101 - 챕터 110

MICAHThe bars here don't serve nearly as good alcohol, but it'll have to suffice. I glance at my phone again. Half passed thirty, and three calls Alex hasn't answered.I knew they'd gone to the hospital the night we lost the kid, but I didn't expect them to be gone by the time I got back. Something's fishy, and ignoring my calls only proves that point.I order some more shots and wile away time until she gets here. It doesn't take too long though. The dying music, passed out partisans and flashing deadlights are recognizable. She suggested this place anyway. “You're certainly dressed for the occasion” I say the moment she walks in. She glides into the seat in my section, and replies with an unimpressed demeanor. “I'm guessing it didn't go well for you either.”Placing a piece of jewellery on the table, her expression doesn't change.“Is that a key?”“It's worth seven hundred thousand” she replies. I'm guessing that's a no. “They fucking tricked me. Sending me on a wild goose ch

ANNATomorrow will make it was week since Adrian's birthday. Three days have passed since the mission to retrieve the keys, and I'll gotten progress is Micah's phone call two nights back. We're running out of time. And the only one more impatient than the Higher council, is me. The door to the meeting room creaks open and Damian steps out with a defeated look on his face. That alone tells me everything.“They want to see you” he says. I take a deep breath to still myself before an expected fate, and just as I pass him, I feel the heat of his gaze land on me. I glance back at him through the side of my eyes, and the softness to his gaze hasn't changed. “Be careful Anna” his parting words. Entering into the hall, the she's and faces are a lot less than they were during my brothers’ trial. Yet somehow, it feels just as tense. “Anna, come forward” Lucius says. My fingers reach for the sides of my dress before I can control them, but I ground myself and hide my hesitation. Foot e

ADRIANI knew something was wrong. I couldn't tell what it was, but I could feel it. I felt a crackle underneath my skin, my body speaking to me in a way it never had before. The darkness of the night still had its claws around my body, but the quiet wasn't as peaceful as it should've been. Maybe that's why I couldn't sleep… even though everything seemed perfectly normal. …Until I heard the noise from downstairs. It didn't seem like anything first. At least nothing worth any sort of attention. But then it doubled down. A chair scraping across the wooden floorboards. Footsteps echoing through the hall like a someone was counting feet, knowing fully well they weren't meant to be here. Still, I didn't react. But this time, it wasn't because I didn't want to. It was because I couldn't. My body refused to respond, even after sensjng something odd was going on. I couldn't twitch my hands. I could barely even feel myself. My eyes shut, as if to force my back to sleep. And maybe it w

ANNAThe map to be Arbin Flower had been activated. No prior warning. No tattle tale around it. Just a surge. One so powerful that even the Higher Council couldn't ignore. I wasn't sure what surprised me more. The fact that they actually were actually successful, proving James wrong. Or that they still had the guts to come back here after, knowing fully well we wouldn't be able to get to them if they didn't.Unlike the rest of the crew, Adrian was kept in a holding facility the moment he got here. I half-expected that. After labelling him unstable, they decided it was best to contain him until they knew what to do. The rest of them, however, weren't exactly sure of what was coming next. For only the second time since he came down here, Logan looked anything but best pleased. This time, he didn't have a ticking time bomb around his neck. He wasn't completely confused, and he should've breathed a sigh of relief when he found out Damian wouldn't be dragging him to the center of the co

LUCIUS I can't remember the last time I was this intrigued.Unlike most, I wouldn't say I was surprised when the map was activated. After all, in that very moment, I saw the exact same vision Adrian did. From the moment I laid eyes on that kid, I knew he was the answer we'd been searching for for centuries. And now, finally, it dropped on my lap.I'm not sure I can hide my excitement for much longer. “The hell are you smiling at?”Like a rake scraping autumn leaves, breaking them from their rest, his voice drags me out of soliloquy. My conscious shifts to the present. My eyes fall on his unimpressed figure just across from me.“James?” I tilt. “What're you still doing here? I thought you'd already returned to your quarters?”His annoyance grows in response, eyes almost twitching as his blood boils.“You think this is funny, Lucius?” He disregards my failed attempt at faking innocence.“What are you talking ab—”His palm flies for the stand, smashing hard against it and sending lou
