บททั้งหมดของ SOLD TO THE ALPHA WHO HATES ME: บทที่ 131 - บทที่ 140

Alpha Bran’s POVVoices drifted through the darkness.Muffled at first. Then it got clearer.“Bran… please… Please open your eyes.” I heard Saskia say. Her voice was broken.I tried to move, but my body felt like stone.“The pack members are all in the temple. The guests are here. More are on their way.” she sobbed. “They keep asking for you.”A sharp ache pulsed behind my eyes.“The elders are asking questions. The Alphas from the north arrived an hour ago. I told them you were preparing. I said you were meditating. I said you were in a strategy meeting. I’ve run out of excuses, Bran!” Her grip tightened around my hand.“They’re starting to look suspicious.” There was a pause, then her voice dropped. “My family is also waiting to laugh at me.” A tear landed on my knuckles.“Please… Ryker… please help him wake up.” Her voice cracked harder. “It’s our wedding day. The guests are waiting. I can’t tell them the Alpha is unconscious. I can’t.”Wedding day?The words echoed strangely in my

Serafine’s POV“Aishh!” I hissed as my palm came down hard against my arm. I lifted my hand slowly and saw blood.A smear of red across my skin and the crushed body of a mosquito stuck in the center of it.I swallowed, disgust twisting in my stomach. Even the mosquitoes feasted on me without mercy.I wiped my palm against my dress as the sound of water dropping on water clouded my hearing.The sound had become a rhythm in this cell. My gaze shifted to the hollowed dip in the floor where water had gathered. The puddle had been there for days, growing darker and thicker. The smell rising from it was stale, clinging to the damp air.I tilted my head back and stared at the roof. And saw the cracked spot in the stone ceiling where water slipped through, bead by bead, falling into the small pool below. It wasn’t just the smell that made it unbearable. It was the mosquitoes it was breeding.I folded my legs and wrapped my arms around my knees, pressing my forehead against them. The dampnes

Serafine’s POV Hope rode beside me in the back seat.Bane and Lupin sat in front.Through the tinted window, I could see Grayson’s vehicle following close behind ours.Hope kept glancing at me as if she wanted to say something but couldn’t find the words. I just stared at my hands resting on the green fabric pooled over my knees.My mind replaying her earlier words. “...Different worlds…different levels. You two can never be together.”Did Bran also think the same way? Was that the reason he chose Saskia even though he wanted me? A deep sigh escaped me. The SUV came to a stop. I looked up and saw my little apartment stood ahead.But something was wrong. Guards who were not the usual pack guards stood in front of the apartment.Their uniforms were dark blue and had an unfamiliar tag, whereas that of the pack guards were just black. Standing in the middle of them was Saskia.She wore white. Not bridal white. But something just as deliberate.“Mm? What's going on?” Hope murmured. “W

Alpha Bran’s POVVictor’s smile lingered on his face as he shrugged. “I don’t know her name, but—”A loud voice suddenly cut across the estate.“Don’t you dare touch me! I said I need to see her!”The shout echoed from deeper within the mansion grounds. Bane and Lupin exchanged knowing looks.Then the voice rang out again, louder this time. “Let me in! I’m not leaving without seeing Serafine!”I recognised the voice to be Hope's. I didn’t wait another second. Ignoring the officer, I turned and strode toward the mansion. My pace quickly broke into a run as I followed the direction of Hope's voice. Behind me, I heard Bane, Lupin, and Aric rushing to keep up.The sound of angry arguing grew louder as we approached the prison yard. When we rounded the corridor, the iron gate of the prison yard came into view.Hope stood in front of the gate, shouting at the two council officers blocking the entrance.“I said move!” she snapped. “I have every right to see her!”The officers remained unmove

Hope’s POVThe sound of Serafine’s sobs carried faintly through the door. Her broken breath felt like something tearing inside my chest.“Serafine…” I called softly, resting my forehead against the wooden door. “Please open the door.”There was no answer. Only the muffled sound of her crying on the other side. My hand slowly dropped from the door. I knew she was crying because she believed Bran had brought her here just to make her suffer. She was just finding out that she was his mate. Whereas Bran had known from the first day he met her.I stepped back from the door slowly, my mind heavy with everything that had happened today.My eyes drifted toward the hallway window, but I wasn’t really seeing anything. My thoughts slipped back to the morning when none of us knew where Serafine had been taken.I had gone straight to the Gamma quarters with thoughts of Serafine in my mind. The moment I saw Bane and Lupin standing outside, I hurried toward them.“Have you checked on Serafine?” I a
