Lahat ng Kabanata ng Theirs To Possess And Ruin: Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

Vivienne“Seriously?!” Asher asked, laughing so hard his whole body shook while he leaned against the wall like he might fall over any second, tears gathering at the corners of his eyes as he clutched his stomach and tried to catch his breath between cackles. Kane however lunged for him, his fists clenched, face red with fury, ready to punch that smug grin right off his brother’s face but Ryker grabbed him from behind in one smooth move, thick arms wrapping around Kane’s chest and holding him down firm against the couch, his muscles bulging as Kane struggled and snarled like a trapped animal. “Let me go, I’m gonna kill him, I swear!” Kane growled but Ryker just tightened his grip, calm as ever, murmuring something quiet in Kane’s ear that made the fight drain out of him a little, though his eyes still burned holes into Asher’s laughing face. Dante sat in the armchair across from me, arms crossed, one eyebrow raised in that way he did when he was trying not to laugh himself, while I

Vivienne“Zach…” I called, my heart beating so loud I bet he could hear it. He gave me that knowing smile of his and our childhood memories came rushing back with full force that tears rushed out. “Hello my little glutton,” he grinned. Without wanting to, my legs moved and I wrapped my arms around him. This… this was Zach, damn Zach… that crazy wild boy that went through hell, slums, shit with me when we were little without any pack or anything. Zach was my father’s adopted son so he was like a big brother to me but then when dad died and things went wrong, he’d taken care of me, taught me the ways of the dark world but then we were attacked one time and that was it, we got separated. “There there little glutton, I’m here now,” he patted my back and my hold on him tightened because apart from my dad, he was the only true person for me in this damn world. I buried my face in his shoulder, breathing in that old familiar scent, leather, smoke, and something sharp like the street

VivienneKane walked towards me and pulled me away from Zach’s arms into his and growled at Zach who was clearly intimidated by the raw alpha energy. Zach isn’t alpha blood so he stepped back fast, hands up in surrender, but the growl from Kane didn’t stop. It rumbled low and dangerously, making the air thick and the people in the restaurant froze and dropped to their knees, some were even face flat on the floor. I could feel Kane’s chest vibrating against me, his arms locked tight around my waist like he thought I’d vanish if he let go. The jealousy rolled off him in hot, sharp, possessive waves and I knew the other three were the same. Dante stood by the door, eyes black, claws half out. Asher had daggers in his hands, twirling them slowly like he was deciding where to start. Ryker cracked his neck, ready to throw bodies if needed. The whole restaurant was silent now. Everyone was watching and waiting for blood.I tried to calm the awkward situation but the four men were clearly

Vivienne“Asher!” I screamed his name, rushing towards them when I saw the scene in front of me. Asher has his dagger raised and Zach was his target. I don’t know what happened between them again but this was the fourth time Asher was raising his dagger on Zach. The training ground was quiet now, recruits scattered back, eyes wide, watching the two men face off like they were about to tear each other apart. Asher’s face was twisted in rage, knuckles white around the dagger handle, breathing hard.Zach stood calmly, his hands loose at his sides, eyes steady on Asher like he was waiting for the strike but not afraid of it. Kane and Ryker were there too, standing a few steps back, tense but not moving yet. Dante was missing, probably still in some meeting, but the air felt heavy with the threat of violence.I pushed between them fast, shoving Asher’s arm down with both hands. “Asher! Stop!” He snarled, trying to pull free. “Get out of the way, Viv!” “No!” I shoved harder, forcing

VivienneFor a few seconds I just stood there staring at Abigail like she had grown two extra heads and decided to ruin my day for sport, because there was absolutely no way I had heard her right. Arrested? Me? In Shadowcrest? The same pack that couldn’t function for two days straight without calling my name every five minutes like I was some overworked goddess of damage control?I let out a short, sharp and disbelieving laugh, wiping the last wetness off my cheeks with the back of my hand as if that alone could erase the mess Zach had just left behind inside me. My heart was still pounding hard from the struggle, from the anger, from the humiliation, from the ugly truth that the one person I had trusted blindly had just crossed a line I could never uncross. And now this.“Abigail,” I said slowly, voice steady even though something cold had already started pooling low in my gut, “if this is some kind of joke, it’s not funny.”She didn’t smile, not even a little.The warriors behind
