Alpha's Heaven의 모든 챕터: 챕터 31 - 챕터 40

I didn’t even remember how my back ended up pressed to the cold wall of Damian’s room — or maybe it wasn’t his room. Maybe this was just another corner of the house he owned… or controlled.All I knew was that his hands were there. On me. Around me.My breath caught the second his lips crashed into mine. No warning, no gentle lead-up — just fire. Unrestrained, unapologetic fire. His kiss wasn’t a question, it was a claim.Before I could even gasp, Damian’s hands slid lower, gripping my thighs with a strength that sent my pulse into overdrive. He lifted me effortlessly, as if I weighed nothing, and I instinctively wrapped my legs around his waist, the movement as natural as breathing… or maybe as reckless as jumping off a cliff.My heart was hammering against my ribs so violently I thought he could hear it.And yet… I didn’t pull away.Because in that moment, there was no world outside his touch. No reason. No logic. Just Damian.His mouth moved over mine with a kind of hunger I’d neve

After class ended, Eva and I decided to hang out by the field, and Evan came along too. The three of us walked slowly through the open grounds, the late afternoon sun turning everything a soft gold. Eva was practically bouncing next to me, her eyes bright and expectant. She was so obviously excited, like she’d been waiting all day for me to spill whatever secret I’d been keeping.I kept glancing at Evan, feeling my stomach twist. Part of me wanted to stay quiet. It was already hard enough to wrap my head around what had happened last night—saying it out loud felt even weird, especially with someone else listening. But Eva kept nudging me with her elbow, and her smile was so wide it was almost ridiculous.Finally, I whispered it. “Damian and I… we mated last night.”Eva let out a squeal that turned heads from the other side of the field. She clapped her hands together and made all these happy little noises, then launched herself at me in a hug so tight it almost knocked the air out of

I was frozen. Completely frozen. My whole body felt like it had turned to stone. My feet were stuck to the ground like someone had glued them there, and my chest felt tight like no air could get in.Evan kissed me.He actually kissed me.And as if that alone wasn’t already enough to turn my entire world upside down, he then spoke the words that I never imagined I would hear come out of his mouth.“I want you,” he said slowly, his voice steady. “As my chosen mate.”Those words hit me like a heavy weight falling straight onto my chest. My lips opened to speak, but nothing came out. All I could do was stare at him, wide-eyed with disbelief and trying to take it in.If Eva learned what had just happened, what would she think of me? Would she believe I was leading her brother on? Would she think I had been trying to seduce him, the same way Luna Denise once accused me of trying to seduce Damian?The thought made me feel sick. My stomach twisted hard, and my chest squeezed with guilt. In my

He moved into the lake slowly, step after step, like a predator testing the shallows. The water reached his ankles first, then climbed up his calves, then his thighs. He just kept moving forward until I realized, with a sinking feeling, that he was coming closer to my side of the lake.Why is he coming this way? My thoughts started to scatter. Why my side? Why not the other? Unless—A cold wave rolled over me, sharper than even the lake’s freezing water.Unless he followed my scent.He knows. He knows you’re out here, Skye. Lyra’s voice slid through my mind like a warning.My pulse jumped. The edges of my vision seemed to tighten, as though the trees themselves were closing in. Panic clawed at my chest, scraping at my ribs. I forced myself to stay still, to keep my breathing quiet even though my heart pounded like a drum trying to break free.And then, right when the tension inside me reached its sharpest point, Damian stopped.He stopped right there in the middle of the lake.I blink

Skye’s POVThe water was warm around me, rippling gently against my skin as the last traces of sunset painted the sky in deep orange and violet streaks. I could still feel the echo of Damian’s kiss from earlier—the way his mouth had claimed mine under the moonlight the night before—but this time was different.There was no rush, no frantic pull toward something dangerous and forbidden. It was just us, suspended in the quiet embrace of the lake, as if the world had decided to slow down for a while.Damian’s hands rested lightly on my waist beneath the surface, fingers splayed in a way that made my heart stutter. He was close—close enough for me to feel the steady rhythm of his breathing, close enough that the heat of him seemed to seep through the water.“You’re quiet,” he murmured, his voice a low rumble that vibrated in my bones.I blinked up at him, water droplets clinging to my lashes. “I’m just… thinking.”“About?” His thumb traced lazy circles against my hipbone, the gesture so c
