All Chapters of Fated To The Alpha Masters: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

~ RALPH ~I watched through the office window as the participants of the selection stood outside, ready to start the trial. The night had a pleasant temperature. The wind gently swayed the leaves of the trees, creating a constant whisper that seemed to amplify the anticipation of the trial in the air. My eyes involuntarily focused on Anna. She was dressed entirely differently from the others, which intrigued me even more. The other participants wore flowing, delicate dresses that honestly did not match the wild and natural environment they were about to face in a few minutes. In contrast, Anna wore dark, tight-fitting clothes made of durable fabric, more prepared to face the challenge."She's smart," Fang commented proudly. His voice echoed in my mind with a tone of approval."The others prefer to continue wearing dresses, and that's a very vain choice on their part," he condemned, and I just rolled my eyes at him. I tried to disguise the anxiety that began to arise within me reg

~ ANNA ~"I believed," I confess with a murmur, feeling a wave of chaotic emotions surge through my heart, like an uncontrollable tide. "I just… I didn't think that" I shake my head, trying to push away my own depreciative thoughts. I feel the weight of the words that almost escape my lips; it's nearly unbearable and leaves a bitter taste. Memories and hopes that were long buried."Whenever you need, I'll catch you, Anna," Ryan responds with a husky voice, his face close to mine, and I can feel his warm breath against my skin. His fingers still caress my back with an almost imperceptible tenderness, drawing invisible lines over the fabric that seems to burn with such proximity. The sensation takes my breath away and sends shivers down my spine.I don't dare to pull away from his touch, from his comforting warmth emanating from his body, or even from his imposing presence. The night is calm, and silent, with a cold breeze passing through the trees, but none of that matters.I want to

~ ANNA ~"The last participant to arrive, with less than 3 minutes remaining," the elder declares, his voice cold, devoid of any emotion of contentment or disdain. "And the only one to capture a deer."I drop the dead animal at my feet and look at the other participants. Some brought rabbits, sheep, and lambs. I noticed that, indeed, I was the only one to capture a large and difficult animal. The elder walks around me with a cold gaze, scrutinizing the animal from top to bottom, as well as me. He carries a black tablet and makes precise notes; each touch on the screen seems to seal my fate in this trial."Congratulations to those of you who completed the trial. Now, the council will deliberate and discuss your performance. The results will be delivered tomorrow after breakfast. You are dismissed now," he said, his voice echoing in the field now silent from the participants. His words are final, as he walked out.I take one last look at the deer at my feet, a symbol of my struggle an

~ ANNA ~"My name is Zahir. What books are you looking for? Maybe the library will be more docile with you now that you have helped us," Zahir says, his thick white eyebrows knitting together as he looks at me with gentle curiosity.“Something about the Mooncrest Pack. My name is Anna, and I am participating in the Luna tournament," I explain shyly, my voice barely a whisper, echoing in the respectful silence of the library.Zahir's violet eyes seem to sparkle when I tell him this. He holds my hand, his fingers cold and bony, yet his touch is gentle and affectionate."Anna. Oh, Anna! You have a beautiful name. Do you know the meaning of the name Anna, young lady?" he asks, animated and mysterious, his voice carrying an almost paternal tone, something I never had from my real father.I slowly shake my head, unable to find the words. "Anna is short for Anastasia, which means to rise again. You carry resurrection in your name, dear girl," he says, his voice warm.He pats the back of my h

~ RALPH ~Most of the emails are about business meetings that need to be scheduled and others rescheduled. The pack has been prosperous in this regard, but I can't stop worrying about our defenses and security. Especially with this curse haunting me for more than five years.The memories of when I was eighteen, fighting my older brother for our father's throne, come to my mind. The bitter taste of victory never left my soul or my heart. I attained the crown and the pack, but I lost the brotherly bond with my older brother. Where once there was love and camaraderie, now there is resentment and hatred. And a curse to be broken.I focus on work for the remaining hours of the trial and only snap back to awareness when the sound of applause reaches my window. I get up to see the reason for such a celebration. Anna brought a deer!"There was only one deer in the forest, and she caught it!" Fang announces in admiration. "And look, there are no claw or bite marks. She made a clean kill. A
