บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha's World Claimed Me : บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

Novel’s POVI had been restless for days. I didn't know what to do, should I just tell Alexei what I know? I shook the thought off. I couldn’t tell him things I wasn't even sure were real. I had been absent from school for a while, so I decided to go today. Luckily, Emilia was waiting outside the house when I made my way out.“I thought I’d go to college with you today,” she said.“Really? Then let’s go together. Since Alexei isn't home, the driver can drop us both.”The drive to school was long and silent. When we arrived, we entered the hall and went our separate ways. Today’s classes were boring and stressful, mostly because my mind was miles away. I looked out the classroom window as my thoughts ran wild.I had managed to talk back to Elora, and I knew she would try to destroy my relationship with Alexei as punishment. I hated that I didn't have any good memories of my own life. I hated that I was addicted to those pills. Lately, the pills didn't even seem to be working. I wondere

Alexei’s POV A week had passed since I rushed Novel’s limp body to the hospital. A week of living in a nightmare. The envelopes never stopped coming, each day, a new set of photos arrived, haunting me with images of a life she couldn't remember. My mother and Maya took turns sitting by her side, but every time I stepped into that sterile room, I felt another piece of my heart shatter. I sat in the chair beside her bed, my fingers interlaced with hers. I didn't care about the wires or the rhythmic, soul-crushing beep of the heart monitor. “Please, Novel... wake up,” I whispered, my voice breaking. “I believe you. I trust only you.” The guilt was a physical weight in my chest. I should have listened to my wolf; he had howled at me to stay, to comfort her, but I had let my ego drive me away. I had left her alone with her demons, and this was the result. “Alexei, go get me something to eat,” my mother said softly. She hadn't left this room for days. When I tried to convince her to g

Novel’s POVI was trapped in a dark void. I didn’t know how much time had passed, but when I woke, I wasn't in a hospital or Alexei's mansion. I was in a hollow, endless nothingness.“Ahhhhh!” I screamed, my voice disappearing into the black. I waited for days, sleeping and waking, until the silence became unbearable. I tried to walk away from the spot where I landed, but no matter how fast I ran or how far I wandered, I always ended up back at the exact same point.“Where is this?!” I shouted. “Let me out!”Exhausted from the running and the screaming, I fell into a deep sleep. When I woke this time, the void was gone, replaced by a vast green field. I sighed in frustration.“What do you want from me? Why are you doing this?” I screamed at the sky. I began to count the days. I counted until a full month had passed. “Can I go back? Please... I want to go home!” I sobbed, hot tears streaming down my face. I cried until sleep claimed me again.This time, I woke in a room. I reached fo

Alexei’s POVIt had been a month since she woke with that terrifying gasp, and since then, she hadn't made a single move to truly rejoin the world.My mother eventually convinced me to go back to work. She insisted I fulfill my Alpha duties and run the company, promising she would watch over Novel and call me the second she stirred. I drowned myself in the office. I attended meetings I didn't need to lead and went to events I used to despise, all to make the agonizing hours pass faster. My hair grew long, and a thick beard masked my face, I didn't have the heart to shave while my mate was fading.I was signing documents my secretary could have handled when Maya’s name flashed on my phone.“She’s awake,” she said.“Awake like... awake?” I pressed, my heart leaping.She confirmed it. I didn't waste a second. I bolted from the office, ignoring the way my secretary looked at me like I’d finally lost my mind. I drove like a madman to the hospital, but by the time I arrived, she had drifted

Alexei’s POVIt had been two days since Novel was discharged. Two days since the truth of the twins, the pills, and the murder of her parents had finally come to light. The realization that both the doctor and the woman claiming to be her mother were lying monsters burned in my gut. I had already instructed Viktor to bring them both to the cells . I intended to teach them a lesson in pain for what they did to my girl, but for now, they would have to rot. I had a more pressing mystery to solve.I needed to know about that necklace.I stared at the high-resolution photo of the pendant on my phone. I couldn't forget the look on my father’s face during the Full Moon ceremony when he first saw it on Novel’s neck. It wasn't just surprise, it was recognition. And it was fear.I made my way to the Pack House. The hallways felt strangely hollow without my mother’s presence, she had stubbornly refused to leave my mansion until Novel was better, and fit to run a marathonike she said.As I approa
