All Chapters of Right Love, Wrong Alpha: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

VioletAfter sitting through the most torturous dinner of my life that nearly lasted way past midnight, I was relieved when Lady Aurelia announced that she couldn’t keep her eyes open anymore and wished to sleep.I couldn’t be happier.I got up from my seat and cleared my throat.“I want to thank you and Alpha Alaric for giving me a chance to dine with you. It was truly exceptional, and I will always cherish this wonderful moment.”Alpha Alaric and Lady Aurelia smiled at me as they retired to sleep. Nicole, Nate, Cassie and Elijah all kept staring at me, waiting for the moment until their parents or whatever twisted relationship they all shared were out of earshot.They all kept staring at me as if I were a time bomb and they were waiting for me to explode. Cassie was the first to break the silence. She glanced between us, brow creasing, her hands fidgeting at her sides. “Okay,” she said cautiously. “I might be imagining things, but this feels… tense.”I merely pushed my chair behind

VioletThat made me fume in anger again.When he spoke next, his voice was rougher. “You want to know the real reason? I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to see me through Nicole knowing very well how much you hate her.”That stopped me cold.“What is that even supposed to mean?” I asked.“She doesn’t tell the truth,” he said. “She tells the version that benefits her. And once she does, there’s no correcting it. You have experienced that as well.”I rested my hand on my temple, trying to process it all. It was a lot to take in.“You’re too late for that.”“I know.”The admission was soft. Devastating.“Fine. Why the fuck did you not give me the barest idea that this would happen? Why would you let me walk in blindly like that?”Elijah rubbed his temple, clearly not having prepared for this interrogation.“Because I told you, I didn't know for sure that this would happen. I had repeatedly requested that nobody else would show up at the last minute. I am not even sure how Nicole

Violet“I said I’m fine.”My voice came out sharper than I intended, echoing faintly in the corridor. Nate didn’t seem to notice or pretended not to.He stayed crouched in front of me, one hand hovering like he was afraid I’d shatter if he touched me wrong, his expression soft in a way that felt rehearsed. Concern sat on his face too easily, like a mask he’d worn often enough that it slipped on without effort.“You fainted,” he said gently. “Or almost did. Let me help you up.”“I didn’t faint.” My head still throbbed, a dull ache pulsing behind my eyes, but I pushed myself upright anyway, using the wall for support. The moment I stood, the world tilted slightly, and Nate was immediately there, his hand closing around my elbow.I flinched.“Don’t,” I snapped, wrenching my arm free.He froze, hands lifting in surrender. “Hey. I’m just trying to help.”“I don’t need your help.”That should have been the end of it. It would have been, if this were anyone else. But Nate had never been goo

VioletHis voice was so soft when he said that. My eyes kept looking into his, as I tentatively raised my hand to cup his face.His eyes fluttered shut when I delicately touched his face, letting my fingers gently brush over the light stubble.I saw him shudder lightly, and I continued to brush my thumb idly over his chin. Slowly, I cupped his face in both my hands and raised it to my level.Elijah’s breathing was shallow, and I saw him gulp nervously, something I didn’t think I would ever see him do.“Thank you” I murmured and brought my face closer, planting a kiss on his cheek. Elijah shuddered again, and I brought my nose close to his to gently rub against his.“Violet, we shouldn’t..”He began, but I stopped him from saying anything further with my index finger that I placed on his lips.“Nate is an asshole. Both he and Nicole twist words and use it as weapons. Just like you said earlier, remember?”“But what he said is the truth. You are younger than me by a decade.”“He doesn’

VioletI came all over his face, but he didn’t object as I lay on the bed, chest rising and falling as if I had run a marathon.When he was done, he finally looked toward the door.“I guess you aren’t scared anymore so I can leave,” but I shook my head.“Stay please”Elijah hesitated to say no right away, and I clung to that hope. Because I didn’t want to stay alone in this room right now.Not after what we had just done. I wanted more of him.Sex with him was always amazing, but I had been feeling a loneliness within me ever since my breakup.I tried to fill that void with work and then with sex, but I craved physical touch and warmth. I yearned to have someone close to me, cuddle with me.Elijah didn’t seem to be a cuddler, but I wanted to just wrap my hands around him and rest for a while.I didn’t say any of this out loud, but I hoped my eyes were saying all that because it was too shameful to state out loud.The silence stretched for so long that I feared he was going to deny it
