All Chapters of My Alpha, My Ruin: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

|| Zayne's POV ||I stormed out of the room, trying my absolute best to keep my anger contained and controlled before I did something I would regret. Before I said something that would make this entire impossible situation even worse than it already was.I had also unlocked the chains restraining her wrists before I left, unable to stand the sight of the silver burns forming on her delicate skin even though I knew it was necessary for both our safety.I got to my own room at the far end of the hallway and slammed the door with enough force that the entire frame shook violently. The sound echoed through the empty house like a gunshot."Fuck!" I shouted into the silence, pacing back and forth across the hardwood floor like a caged animal. "Fuck, fuck, fuck!"What was I supposed to do now? What the fuck was I supposed to do with this impossible mess I'd gotten myself into?The Hunters would track me down eventually—it was just a matter of time before they figured out where I'd gone, befo

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOURAmara's POVI was restless, pacing back and forth across the small bedroom like a caged animal that couldn't settle no matter how hard it tried.They had arrived at this little house tucked far, far behind a mountain range about two hours ago, and I was certain we were the only living souls here for at least a thousand miles in any direction. The isolation was both comforting and terrifying in equal measure.Zayne had said this was his safest hideout, a place no one knew about except him, a sanctuary he'd built years ago for exactly this kind of emergency. But that wasn't what was bothering me right now, although logically I knew it probably should be.I should be bothered about the fact that I was being actively hunted by multiple groups of dangerous people who wanted me either dead or captured. I should be terrified about what would happen if they found us, about what they would do to Zayne for protecting me, about the innocent people who had already died because

My breath quickened, coming in short, panicked gasps as I staggered backward, my eyes fixed on Gabriel standing in the hallway.My mind was racing with a thousand questions all at once.What was he doing here? How the hell did he find us in this remote location that was supposed to be completely hidden? Was he here to take me away from Zayne? Was he working with the Hunters now? Had he come to drag me back to face whatever political mess awaited me?Gabriel raised both his hands slowly in a placating gesture. "Amara, please. I'm not here to hurt you. You know I would never hurt you. You have to know that by now.""Get away from me!" I yelled. "Just get the fuck away from me, Gabriel!"Zayne came running out of the bedroom immediately, his bare feet pounding on the wooden floor. He pushed me behind him with one protective arm and stood between us like a wall of solid muscle, his entire body tensed and ready for violence. Every line of his posture screamed danger."You bastard!" Gabriel

Gabriel's POVI was going absolutely crazy—literally losing my mind.My head felt like it was being split open with an axe, my neck was on fire, and every single part of my body was screaming in agony. Pain radiated through me in waves so intense I couldn't even stand upright anymore.I growled, the sound tearing from my throat as I doubled over and collapsed onto the floor of my room. My hands clawed at the hardwood, nails scraping against the surface as I tried desperately to find some anchor, some way to ground myself through the torment.I was in so much pain I could barely think, barely breathe.It felt like every inch of skin on my body was being slowly torn open, peeled away from muscle and bone while I was forced to remain conscious through all of it. The urge rising inside me was violent and primal—an overwhelming need to kill, to destroy, to tear apart anything and everything within reach just to make this agony stop.My wolf was thrashing inside me, demanding to be let out,

Amara's POVGabriel leaned forward in his chair, his eyes narrowing as he fixed Zayne with an intense stare. "Or what? What exactly happens if you don't deliver Amara to the Hunters within those thirty days? What's the actual consequence you're facing?"Zayne hesitated for a long moment, his jaw clenching and his face darkening with emotions I couldn't quite read. "That's my business to know and handle," he finally said, his voice clipped and dismissive."That's not good enough," Gabriel snapped, standing up from his chair. "If we're supposed to work together to protect Amara, if we're supposed to trust each other and coordinate our defenses, then you can't be keeping secrets from us. We need to know everything—every threat, every complication, every leverage anyone has over any of us."Zayne tilted his head slightly and looked at Gabriel with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. The expression was almost predatory, dangerous in its calmness. "Is that so? You're saying we shouldn't kee
