Semua Bab OH Dear Alpha Brother : Bab 31 - Bab 40

Chapter 31 – AnaI stared at Desmond for a long moment, my eyes wide with disbelief. Then, I let out a short, bitter laugh that echoed off the stone walls of the hallway.I reached out and pushed his hands away from me. I needed space. I needed to breathe. “If you are trying to scare me so I never leave the territory again, you are joking,” I said flatly. I kept my voice steady, even though my heart felt like it was trying to jump out of my chest. “Today was the first time I have washed clothes in peace. No maids felt amazed by my presence or stared at me like I was dirt under their shoes. No whispers followed me around the corner.”Desmond did not move. His expression did not change. He just watched me with those intense eyes.“And if that guy was really the Rogue Alpha,” I continued, my voice getting sharper as my anger grew, “do you honestly think I would be standing here talking to you right now? My body would still be lying in the forest on the cold ground. He would have killed m

Chapter 33 – AnaThe marble floor felt like ice against my bare knees. I knelt in the center of the massive throne room, my head bowed low in a sign of forced respect. I kept my hands clenched tightly in my lap to stop them from shaking. My eyes were fixed on the Alpha King’s boots. They were polished black and spotless. They looked hard and cold, just like the absolute power he used to control every single second of my life.I did not need to look up to feel his gaze. It was sharp and freezing. It was the same look he had given me every day since the Mark appeared on my neck. To him, I was no longer the girl he had raised. I was something rotten, a mistake he regretted letting live in his house for so long.“You ungrateful child,” he said at last. His voice was low, but it carried to every corner of the room. It dripped with a venom that made my skin crawl. “How did I not see this coming? How did I not realize that you would one day bring this pack to total ruin?”My stomach twisted

Chapter 35 – AnaI sat alone on the rocky riverbank, the very place where everything in my life had truly begun to fall apart.Looking at this river reminds me of the same spot where Vera and her pack of smiling vipers had cornered me weeks ago. It was the same stretch of rushing water that had swallowed my blood when they beat me. I remembered how they laughed while they did it, enjoying my pain as if it were a game. Now, the river rushed past me, looking dark and fast in the afternoon light. The sun flashed across the moving surface like the sharp blades of knives.It would be so easy to end it all here.One simple step forward into the current. One breath held too long beneath the waves. Death felt like it would be much quieter and more peaceful than this life I was forced to live.I hugged my knees tightly to my chest and stared at the water until my vision started to blur. The whole world felt heavy—far too heavy for someone like me to carry alone. No matter what I did, and no ma

Chapter 37 – DesmondThe tenth strike of the whip hit my back like fire tearing through my skin. It was the hardest one yet.My legs finally gave out. I could no longer hold my weight against the force of the pain and the blood loss. I crashed onto the cold marble floor. The impact was hard, and it knocked the remaining breath from my lungs. I lay there for a second, gasping for air. I felt the blood pooling beneath me. It was spreading slowly across the stone, feeling warm and slick against my chest and stomach.My back screamed in total agony. Every nerve ending felt alive and burning. It felt like someone had pressed a hot iron against my flesh. Even so, I forced myself to stay quiet. I bit my tongue so hard I tasted more blood. I would not give my father the satisfaction of hearing me scream or beg for mercy.Suddenly, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps rushing forward.“Ana—” someone in the crowd gasped.She was suddenly there, appearing right beside me. She dropped to her kn

Chapter 39 – AnaI stared at Vera for a long moment. I stood in the middle of the hallway, feeling the weight of the deal I had just made with the Alpha King. My heart was still heavy, but seeing Vera’s face changed everything. Her smug expression—so sure of itself and so cruelly satisfied—made my blood begin to boil. I thought about every single insult she had ever thrown at me since she came to the pack. I thought about every nasty whisper, every shove in the dirt, and every time she had tried to ruin my life. All of it burned through my chest all at once like a fire.“I have things to do,” I said. My voice was flat and hard. “I need to get going.”I tried to step past her, hoping to just walk away before I lost my temper. But Vera was not going to let me leave that easily. She reached out and shoved me back against the wall. She did it with so much force that my shoulder blades slammed hard into the cold stone. A sharp, sudden pain flared through my back, right where the impact hap
