All Chapters of An Alpha's Obsession : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

ALEX“Well, see you soon, Adrian.”Rachel tosses a lazy wave over her shoulder.I watch in silence as she walks off with her pack. “This is the part where you follow suite” Adrian spits, and for the first time since this far from pleasant reunion, the smile on Callum’s face drops. “I meant what I said, Old friend. I do look forward to seeing you at the Convergence. Perhaps we can finally settle some old scores.”“We can settle it right now—”“Liam” Adrian puts an arm out, stopping him before he can continue. “Leave, Callum.”He scoffs.But that's about all he can do before he turns to leave, fading into the treeline alongside his pack soon after. Unsurprisngly, the training grounds are dead silent afterwards.They might be gone, but their threat-laced invitation hangs like smoke. Heavy and bitter, poisoning the air.Every muscle in the pack tightens.But none more than Adrian’s.His aura spikes for half a second.Sharp enough to make my already-throbbing wounds burn again, before

ALEXThe Clan Superstore smells like flour, fresh herbs, and too many bodies in one place. I've been here a couple times. Maybe just a handful when I was with Micah and the Blood Moons. Neutral ground or not, I’ve never liked it.Even with my mask on, I always felt too many eyes glance in my direction .And now that I no longer wear it, it's like their stolen glances have tripled.If I could've avoided this place, I would’ve. But Maya quite literally dragged me alongside her on our way here.Quiet as she may seem, she's very persistent.My eyes drift to her as he pushes a metal cart ahead of us, humming under her breath. “The sugar's not gonna be enough” she says to an Omega beside her. “Please double it.”Two other omegas flank off her, holding the list Liam approved this morning. Speaking of which…I glance back and his outline’s traceable just in front of tinted glass doors. He didn't have to come here. From what I heard, whenever Maya's on duty, he comes down anyway.Return

ADRIANThe moment I push the doors open, the noise dies.Not gradually, like people choosing to settle down.It cuts off. Sharp. Clean. Immediate.Like wolves torn between the yoke of fear and chains of respect.A hundred eyes swing to me. Some lower their gazes instantly. Some hold it for a second longer than necessary. Asessing me. Testing me. And others… flicker with curiosity. With expectation.With hope.The training hall feels smaller. Tighter. As if the walls themselves are waiting to see how this will play outWe haven't used in here in ages. I guess arranging training here at all already tells of how important this moment is.Liam stands in the center of the room, hands behind him, expression neutral. But from the slight furrow in his brow, he too knows exactly how delicate this moment is.“Formation!” he calls out.The wolves straighten into lines, and the scent of order, adrenaline, and sharpened nerves fills the air.However, there’s one scent that cuts through everythin

ALEXDinner tonight's a little hard to digest. Not because the dinner table’s silent and empty. On the contrary, every space on it is taken!The sound of dragged cutlery and murmured chats fill the space, antagonised only by the scent of fresh meat and perfectly salted soup.“If you're not gonna eat your ribs, can I have—” I glance at the face to my right and the words crack in his throat.I can't even remember his name, but I know he's part of Adrian's group.Jax, I think it was.All of us that are being tested for the Pre-Convergence assessment are here. Nearly thirty, while the rest of the pack’s remained in their usual spot. Didn't think it'd be this intense, but Adrian and Liam really do have strict plans for it. Some people are taking it as serious as they are…“Too much carbs aren't good for me” Sage whispers to herself in the midst of the bustle and chattering. She's from Adrian's group as well. Came in third place too. It almost looks like she's meditating on the dining t

ALEX“The second test of the Pre-Convergence assessment will test your decision-making and intuition above all else. Sometimes, the only thing you can rely on to save yourself, are your senses. That will be put to the test in today's trial” Liam said. “Remeber that there are a total of five tests all together to be completed at the end of the assessment. This means that if Alex and Zane win today's test as well, they become the most favourable candidates to proceed” he barely glanced at me as he said it. “To keep things plain and unfavored, I won't be participating in today's test, and a slight repairing will take place. Not to worry, the rest continues as planned. Are you ready?!”Those words came tumbling down his tongue almost thirty minutes ago, and if not anything, one thing I clearly remember was the look on Sagesifave a couple moments before we blitzed in opposite directions. Adrian by her side, she looked on at me with a smile on her face. As if she already knew how today's
