บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha Who Stole My Christmas: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

ZAYNEJust where could she be?That question kept drilling holes into my head as I paced the length of my room like a caged beast. Lisa had no sense of direction when she panicked, and right now, panic was exactly what she was drowning in. She could not survive out there for long, not in that state, with the Neon virus already eating at her sanity.“How did I miss this?” I growled, slamming my fist against the wall.The impact was brutal enough to make my wolf whimper inside me. He rarely spoke or interfered, but real pain always got his attention. The virus was progressing faster than expected, and one of its cruelest tricks was this, making its host see things that weren’t real, hear voices that fed on fear.I picked up the folded paper she had left behind, my fingers tightening around it. Before I could even process my next move, something sharp pierced through my blinds.An arrow. I yanked the note tied to it and read the message, my fist clenching with every word.She was roamin

LISAZayne took too long to answer my question.I lifted my head slightly to look at him, trying to read his face, and that was when I saw it, the smirk. That slow, knowing smirk that made my stomach twist, and my heart beat faster at the same time.“Bee and I were betrothed,” he finally said, with a calm voice. “But we couldn’t get married because I was already in love with Emily’s mother. We were never involved in any romantic relationship. Over the years, we’ve built a healthy friendship.”He paused, watching me closely.Was it weird that I wanted to ask him more questions about it? Because from the look of things, it didn’t feel as simple as he was making it sound. I could clearly see that Bee wanted something more than friendship. She had pulled too many stunts already, too many calculated moves to get me on the bad side.My thoughts stopped when I felt Zayne’s hands on my shoulders.He was massaging them gently, his thumbs pressing into the tense spots like he knew exactly where

LISAWe were back at the house, and the moment the door opened, Emily jumped on me without hesitation. She was all dressed up, hair done, makeup light but glowing, and she wrapped her arms around me so tightly that I almost lost my balance.She pulled back almost immediately and smacked my shoulder, making me flinch.“Really, best friend?” she said. “You left me when I needed you the most. What exactly were you thinking?”“I’m sorry,” I said honestly. “I feel guilty about what happened to you.”She paused for a moment, then shook her head. “It is not your fault.”Emily walked over to her father, who hadn’t said a word since we got back, and hugged him tightly.“Thank you so much, Dad, for taking care of her like your own daughter. Well… she might as well be your daughter, right?”I started fanning myself awkwardly, trying to cool the tension rushing through my body. Zayne smiled at her softly and kissed her forehead.“I already guessed you both saw Ink outside,” Emily continued casual

LISAHe couldn’t stop sniffing around my neck and face, and if only he knew what that simple act was doing to my body, he would probably never stop.“I will always be here,” he murmured, his voice brushing against my skin. “Right in your hands. Even if it means giving up everything just to be with you, I will do it, Lisa.”I turned slowly to look at his face. My eyes were already watery, and I couldn’t explain the rush of emotions swelling inside my chest. Everything felt too much and yet not enough at the same time.When Zayne kissed me, it felt magical. As though we sealed something far deeper than a promise. In that moment, there was nowhere else in the world I wanted to be but right there, in his arms.“I love you so much, Zayne,” I whispered. “And I will be right here with you.”At that moment, nothing else mattered to me.*********It was another daybreak, but this morning felt different. Even the atmosphere in my fashion house carried this sweet feeling.What happened the night

BEEBefore I could fully process what was happening, a sharp arrow pierced my wolf’s limb.The pain was blinding.I shifted instantly, losing balance, and fell hard from the tree branch to the ground below. Blood spilled freely, too freely. Lucas had poisoned the arrow. I could feel it in the way my body refused to heal, in the way the blood continued to gush out no matter how hard I tried to steady myself.I watched helplessly as Lucas poured something that looked like oil over Elena’s head. She went limp immediately, falling into a deep sleep. Then he turned to me and dragged my injured body toward his cabin like I was nothing more than a wounded animal.“You really have some nerve, Bee,” he sneered. “What did you think? That I wouldn’t sense your bloody presence?”He laughed coldly. “I would have ripped your heart out and held it in my palm if not for Sofia.”His words should have terrified me. They were threatening enough. But fear wasn’t what I felt.I was furious.“Do you know h
