All Chapters of Protected by the Dark Alpha: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

EloiseAnother earthquake shook the earth.This time, the screams were ones of complete and utter terror.A great and rising fear consumed everyone beyond my aura of Omega calm. And this had to do with the fact that I was scared, truly scared. The situation was not good, not at all.“Stay here,” I said immediately.“Where are you going?” Joe asked. “You're not going alone, you're—”“I know who I am and what I possibly represent, but I need to go to the dark forest,” I said immediately, and they were stunned. “Something really bad must be happening there for these earthquakes to occur. It's not normal.”“But you have to go with Elijah, he—”“I can go in without any problems,” I said firmly. “I'll let him know what's going on, but regardless of whether he's upset or not, I have to go to the forest. It's imperative to corroborate what's happening.”“That's exactly why you're not going alone,” said Claris, surprising me. “You must be accompanied. You don't know anything about what's happe

EloiseOne piece of Hall's puzzle finally fell into place.It was crazy, but Kaia had a great point that would explain a lot. Keren's face was purple; he was about to vomit, but it was clear that something his wife and I said finally clicked in his head.“You know something,” Nalia said, pointing firmly at Keren. “And you better say it now.”Keren shook his head before sitting down and looking at us in disbelief.“When I was in training with Hall's brother, I heard a crazy story that the Blackwood lineage came from an old powerful wolf and that there was a prophecy that a wolf so powerful would arise in their Alpha line that he would be king and have the power to overthrow everyone,” he said, and I felt chills; I had never heard anything like it. "Hall took the prophecy seriously, but his brother did not. He said it was just a family legend, a matter of emphasizing honor and strength. But Hall was upset, and the guardians just laughed at the fact that Hall did believe fervently in the

HallThe power coursing through my blood made me feel euphoric, as did the sensation of the poppy in my system. It was as if a huge shot of adrenaline had completely shaken me up.I could feel it in every part of my body, in every part of my bones.The smoke from the burning poppy rose high, but the ritual unfolding before my eyes was a damn delight. Giselle was being penetrated by several guardians as she reached orgasm again and again amid a dozen bodies of sacrificed slaves.That sexual power caused the evil power of death to finally settle into her body.Everyone celebrated, no one was upset or sad about the sacrifices, everyone had received a drop of the power and was eager for more, especially Dianco. He kissed the lover in his arms, not caring that his little sister was a sexual tool.Dinora was nearby, but not participating. She looked at the bodies carefully, as if she were studying the situation, as if her head were finally calculating the number of people we needed to sacri

EloiseThe ceremony was everything I ever truly wanted.People were happy, but what really calmed my heart and filled it with tenderness was Elijah's happiness, how content he was, and the fact that he was dancing all the time and was much more lively than he had been in previous days.My feet had hurt, so I sat down to rest, but I saw him spinning Isa around, and that made it all worthwhile.“Would you like some punch?” Kael asked beside me, and I nodded, then took what he was offering me. “Elijah is a calm man, somewhat even-tempered, and seeing him so happy and content is a great thing for everyone in the pack, Eloise. Thank you for making him happy.”I looked at my mate's best friend with raised eyebrows, then smiled happily.“Elijah makes me the happiest woman alive,” I said honestly. “I thought I lost everything, but in reality, I gained him. There's nothing more beautiful to me than that.”“I know,” Kael said. “I hope you'll be very happy, so welcome to the family.”Kael hugged

Eloise“Shit,” Keren said in horror.I froze, and a deep fear rushed through me; I looked at Elijah, and he glared at Joe with unusual rage.“That’s why we have to take these kinds of things as a whole,” Elijah said forcefully. “Nalia put herself in grave danger.”Joe’s eyes widened.He was about to say something, but just then someone knocked loudly on the door. When Kaia opened it, Isa walked in with Emmett, and seeing him scared me. He looked pale, as if he were sick.“What the hell happened?” I asked in horror before running toward my brother.Emmett looked terrible; he was completely pale, with dark circles under his eyes, as if life had been drained from him in seconds. He wasn’t even a shadow of the boy I’d seen just a few hours ago.The situation was mind-boggling.“He told me it was important to come here, that he had a lot to say, and he hasn’t stopped sweating cold,” Isa said nervously.I looked my brother in the eyes.“We have to find Nalia. The creatures hurt her, and she
