All Chapters of Alpha's Power Bottom: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

After Elder Mira finished explaining the plan, I was already out the door.I was rushing home to update my mom about the plan and what she needed to do in order for things to work out, and if my mother refused, I didn't know what I'd do.The front door creaked open beneath my hand, and I climbed the stairs two at a time. Mother's bedroom door was slightly open, so I knocked gently, and there was no answer."...Mom?"Still nothing.I pushed the door open, and she sat on the edge of the bed with Father's picture frame resting in her lap. Her fingers traced the edge of the wood, and tears rolled silently down her cheeks.She wasn't sobbing anymore, she just stared at his smile in the photograph. It was as if she was trying to memorize it before time stole even that away.My chest tightened.I shouldn't have come... this wasn't fair. She'd lost her mate, her husband, the love of her life, and here I was... about to ask her for another favor.How selfish could I be?Quietly, I stepped back

We got to the door, and I took in a deep breath. Then slowly, I grabbed the handle, turned it to the side, and pushed the door open."Welcome to my room," I chuckled, trying to hide my shyness.Derek didn't respond. He was busy checking out the room, and after five minutes had passed, he finally sat down on the bed. I couldn't look away from him. Derek suddenly felt shy as I walked up to him. When he was about to look up, I held his chin and lifted his face towards mine."You don't have to be shy with me," I said softly, but deep down, I was relieved he felt shy as well. That gave me a confidence boost. Seeing him shy with his face red. "I really do love you so much, and you were all that I have been thinking about these past few days. Whenever I wake up here, and you're not beside me, it makes me miss you more.""So... what do you want me to say?" he said, giving me a little shy smile.'Don't say anything," I ran my fingers through his hair."I'm sorry Ethan—"I quickly put a finger

As the last handful of dirt struck the fresh grave with a dull thud, there was silence, and no one moved or spoke.I couldn't believe it that my father was gone... he was really gone.I stared at the simple stone that marked where they had laid him to rest, unable to believe that beneath it rested the strongest man I'd ever known. Then, one by one, the rest of the pack stepped forward, and each person bowed their head, and some whispered prayers, and others simply stood there with tears in their eyes before quietly walking away.Soon, the crowd began to thin.Kael was one of the last to leave. He walked over and wrapped me in a firm embrace."I'm sorry, Ethan," he said softly.I hugged him back, and he squeezed my shoulder before pulling away."If you need anything..." he started, but I cut him off."I know," I said."I mean it," he still added. Of course, Kael wants to have the last word.He nodded once before stepping aside, and Sarafina approached next, but she didn't say anything

"I can't believe you lost your wolf, Ethan," Lucas said as he let out a short, disbelieving laugh that echoed through the room. "How does someone lose their wolf? Is that even possible?"I stared at him without answering.He shook his head. "Just when I think you've done everything you possibly could to put yourself and everyone around you at risk..." He scoffed. "...you go and lose your wolf."His eyes narrowed."And I know it had something to do with that Ashbound kid."He practically spat the next word."Derek."I clenched my jaw. "You know my mother is drunk."Lucas folded his arms. "And so?""She didn't know what she was saying.""You expect me to believe that?""I still have my wolf," I lied more confidently than I felt.Lucas simply looked at me, then he smiled and it wasn't a friendly smile."Do you?" he asked"I do.""Good." He stepped aside and gestured toward the front door. "Go outside then."I frowned. "What for?""I want you to shift."Silence."Go on," he said again but

I couldn't breathe while Lucas, on the other hand, didn't even look surprised, he just smiled."I'll be right there," he called back to the warrior outside.Lucas turned toward me, and then he laughed."So..." he shook his head. "I guess Derek couldn't escape quietly after all.""Lucas," I called, but he ignored me, and he walked toward the door. "Lucas!" I called, but my voice cracked this time. "Don't lay a hand on him!"He didn't answer me and just opened the door and stepped outside. I lunged after him, and before I could reach the doorway, a hand grabbed my arm."No," my mother snapped as she held me firmly. "Ethan.""Let me go!" I said."No," she muttered."They'll kill him!" I cried. "I have to—""Ethan." She pulled me back again. "Think, please. Just think.""I can't!" I tore my arm free. "You can't hold me back!"She reached for me again, and this time I stepped away before she could."I'm sorry," I said, then I ran outside.The noise led me straight to them. A crowd had form
