Semua Bab From Outcast To Alpha's Queen: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Aubrey remained silent throughout the drive, her body stiff against the passenger seat. Her gaze stayed fixed outside the window, but her thoughts were far from the passing streets. Questions crowded her mind. How Travis always seemed to know where she was. Why he refused to stay out of her life no matter how many walls she put up.She wanted to ask him about Eileen, her stepsister and his former fiancé. She had not heard a single word from Eileen since the engagement fell apart. After the faked lineage results, Aubrey had gone into hiding, ignoring every call and message from her family, as if silence could protect her from the consequences."You’re very quiet. Is something on your mind? You can tell me," Travis said, breaking the long stretch of silence.Aubrey turned her head and looked at him. His expression was calm, controlled, as if nothing in his world had truly been shaken. She could not understand how he could be like that. One night of mistakes had destroyed his engagement

The next morning, Danica was surprised by the sound of the doorbell while she was preparing breakfast."Who could that be this early?" she grumbled, wiping her hands on a towel before heading to the door.When she opened it, her eyes widened. A man stood there holding coffee. "Travis?""Hi, good morning. I bought coffee for you guys," he said with a bright smile.Inside her room, Aubrey caught the sound of that familiar voice. She quickly finished getting ready and hurried out. By the time she reached the living room, Travis was already sitting on the sofa, invited in by Danica."Good morning," Travis greeted her as soon as she appeared."Good morning. Why are you here so early?" she asked, her voice laced with confusion.Danica laughed from the kitchen. "He is here to pick you up. You didn't tell me you had a date this early.""A date?" Aubrey repeated, stepping toward her friend to stop her from saying anything else. "What date are you talking about? We just have plans today. I didn

Travis stepped forward, greeting each family member with the practiced grace of an Alpha. His movements were fluid, confident, the kind that spoke of years of command and presence. Despite the warmth of the reunion, the room remained charged; every eye in the Thorne lineage was fixed on Aubrey, who stood quietly by his side.Taking a steadying breath, Aubrey offered a respectful bow. "Good day. I’m Aubrey Castile." Her voice was soft but steady, carrying a quiet assurance that made her composure noticeable even to the most discerning Thorne."Hello, dear. Finally, you’ve come," Hilda, Travis’s mother, was the first to approach. Her steps were deliberate, but there was a gentleness in her eyes as she pulled Aubrey into a surprising, genuine embrace. "I’ve seen you from a distance before, but I never got the chance to speak with you. You’re even more beautiful up close."Aubrey felt a flush of heat creep up her neck. She hadn't expected such a direct, warm welcome from the former Luna o

Aubrey found herself completely at a loss for words. She wasn't sure if he was serious or simply teasing her again, but the way he looked at her, with an intensity that seemed to pull the air from her lungs, made her feel as though she might actually collapse.“D-Don’t joke about things like that...” she stammered, her voice barely a whisper.Travis’s brow furrowed. Although he had half-expected her to dismiss him as being playful, hearing her call it a joke caused a sharp, unexpected pang in his chest.“Do you really think I’m still joking, Aubrey?” he asked, his voice dropping to a serious, gravelly tone.Aubrey looked away, unable to withstand the weight of his gaze. She didn't know how to answer. The world they lived in was built on power and alliances. A confession like this felt too heavy, too permanent.“Look at me,” Travis commanded gently. He reached out and tilted her chin up, forcing her eyes to meet his. He saw the flicker of surprise in her expression but didn't let go. H

With every step Aubrey took into the Beta estate, the weight of her family’s gaze felt like a physical burden. Travis followed closely, a silent, looming presence by her side, his scent of cedar and rain a small anchor in the rising storm. When they reached the living room, Beta Rafael gestured toward the sofa."Sit down," her father said, his voice a chilling mix of cold authority and lingering worry.Aubrey sat, but the tension in the room was suffocating. She looked at Fred, who remained standing next to Eileen. Her brother’s eyes were no longer neutral; they were clouded with a cocktail of frustration and protective anger."Why did you come back, Aubrey?" Estella asked, her voice sharp and unforgiving.Aubrey took a deep breath and placed a hand over her stomach, drawing strength from the life within. "Dad, Estella... I have something to say." She paused, her voice trembling but holding firm. "About my pregnancy. Travis is the father."A deafening silence fell over the room, broke
