All Chapters of Alpha's Heaven: Chapter 21 - Chapter 26

After that morning, everything seemed to settle back into place—at least on the surface.School was about to begin, and the halls were filled once more with the usual chatter, squeaking shoes, and the dull murmur of sleepy students dragging themselves to class. But something had shifted. The moment I stepped through the school gates, the change in atmosphere was undeniable.No one dared bully me again.Whispers still followed me wherever I went, but gone were the days of sneers, tripping feet, and cruel jokes muttered under breath. The second everyone found out I was Damian’s mate, their petty cruelty vanished as quickly as it had arrived. It was as if the fear of him lingered in the air, shadowing my every step. But just because they no longer dared to touch me didn’t mean they accepted me.Their hateful stares never left.Every time I walked past, heads would turn. Eyes would narrow. Girls who used to toss their hair and giggle at Damian in the halls now looked at me like I’d stole

When we arrived at the party, it felt like we had stepped into a different world.The garden was transformed—fairy lights strung between trees, glowing lanterns floating in the air, and a classical quartet playing softly in the background.

Every step away from the clearing pulled me farther from the lanterns, the champagne, the noise… and from everything I didn’t want to think about.The sounds fell away layer by layer until I was left with nothing but my own thoughts. I needed the quiet. I needed space. I needed to breathe air that wasn’t mixed with perfume, sweat, and forced smiles.But even with all the silence I wanted, one thing wouldn’t leave my head: Damian’s face when I accepted Evan’s hand for the dance. That moment kept replaying like a glitch I couldn’t fix. The way his entire body went still. The way his jaw tightened. And that flicker in his eyes—brief but sharp like needles prickling in my skin.Was he jealous?Or was I just imagining it because I wanted him to feel something for me?The thought alone was dangerous. Damian wasn’t someone you tried to figure out. You could stare at him f
