All Chapters of Protected by the Dark Alpha: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Eloise“How can you say that?” I asked, and Dinora approached me so calmly that I became alert.“Because you know nothing, and maybe that's what will save you,” she said cryptically before walking away. "I'll bring new clothes and keep Hall as far away from here as possible. Follow the rules and don't try anything stupid. At this point, you're just as useful to Hall either way: alive or dead."Dinora walked away, and I cursed my luck under my breath.I closed my eyes tightly and thought only of Elijah.“I'm sorry about this, Elijah,” I said painfully.I lay down on the bed for comfort and waited there patiently.The hours passed so slowly that I felt like I might implode, but I just calmed myself and concentrated on breathing deeply in a vain attempt to force myself to sleep. It was the gentlest way I had to get through the situation.And it was terrible.I was about to fall asleep when I heard loud footsteps and then a conversation behind the door. I listened carefully.“They can't l

EloiseWhen we arrived at the pack, something felt different.Elijah picked me up and carried me to his room, but my brother appeared and ran quickly to where I was. I looked at him with pain, and he hugged me with tears in his eyes.My body was slowly beginning to react to the stimulant.“Are you okay?” Emmett asked, and I nodded. “I'm sorry, I used up all my energy, I—”I gently caressed my brother's cheek while Isa took him by the shoulder and Elijah tried to calm him down.“It's not your fault,” Elijah said, and I nodded. “None of this happened because of you, so don't judge yourself so harshly.”I looked at Elijah intently, and he swallowed and looked at the floor.“She's fine now,” Isa said, and Emmett hugged me tightly again. “Eloise needs to rest a little, so let's give her time to recover properly and have a chance to get all the energy she can.”Emmett looked at me with such pain that I smiled and kissed him on the forehead.My brother kissed me on the cheek and then left wi

EloiseI finally understood what was happening with the Dark Alpha.We were all speculating about the origin of his power. Some said it was due to his mother's magic, others said it was a spell that went wrong, while others said he had made a pact with something.However, this was something very different.This was realizing the true power of my mate.“That's incredible,” I said honestly. “You have the same kind of power as the dark forest.”“Not exactly,” Elijah muttered. "I have the same core, meaning that the energy engine that governs me and the forest are the same. That's why I can enter and leave the forest at will, and that's why certain creatures don't attack me but fear me. The reality is that the forest itself has adopted me as a similar creation, so I have a certain amount of autonomy within it."That made me understand the situation better.“That’s crazy,” I said and shook my head, then something clicked in my mind. “Did my father know that?”Elijah looked at me with raise

Eloise“Nothing,” she said and shook her head, but the idea was there, half-formed, laid out on the table.“You did want to say something, so be specific,” I said sternly."The reality is that your brother is like this because he was poisoned with something as strong and powerful as Lua, but there's also the fact that, even if he hadn't been poisoned, he would have had one of the strongest energies I've ever seen in my life. However, there's something you're overlooking, I don't know if it's out of fear or because you haven't really given it the attention it requires, and that is that you are a hybrid of Pure Alpha and Pure Omega; your powers can be as strong as your brother's," she said, and I raised my eyebrows. “You don't know when they might awaken; you don't know in what specific ways you can actually exploit them, and you have no idea whether those powers that may or may not be within you are a tool you can use as a weapon of attack or defense. The point is, it's a possibility y

EloiseWhat Claris had explained was terrible.But it was more than enough information for us to make certain moves and get a little ahead of the situation. The next morning, we met again, but this time we did so in the pack's meeting room, which caught the attention of everyone in town.This time, Nalia brought complete reports from her informants, as did Joe.Keren had maps, Kael had documents, and the councilors had books, a clear sign that the situation was much more serious than expected. To my surprise, Jenny's parents also attended, as did high-ranking guardians.Everyone seemed genuinely concerned about the situation, and rightly so.Grace was also there and had reports from her land, but from the look on her face, I knew that what she was going to say didn't seem to be anything good. I approached her and looked at her calmly.“Are you okay?” I asked as I squeezed her shoulder.“No,” she said and looked at me fearfully, which surprised me because she had proven to be a brave w
