All Chapters of My Angel: The Tribrid Alpha’s Obsession : Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

NOELLE "What did you just say?!" My adoptive father yells, his spit splashing on my face. My cheek burns, my ear throbbing from the force of the slap he's just unleashed on me. Tears prick my eyes, bile threatening to push up my throat. "I said, no!" I cry out, my voice cracking. I am so sick of it. I have a family, but it feels like I don't! "How dare you talk back to me, you ungrateful brat?!" He hisses, and I flinch. "I'm not marrying a stranger just because you want me to. If you're so desperate to marry off one of your daughters in return for money, Eleanor is—" The second slap lands harder. My vision blurs as pain radiates through my face. My short black hair falls into my eyes, and I gasp, barely managing to stay upright. Behind him, Eleanor whimpers softly, clutching our mother's arm. Her nails are perfectly manicured, her dress spotless. She looks fragile and delicate, she's everything I've never been allowed to be.

His mouth on my neck. His hands pinning my wrists. The way he looked at me like I was something precious. I press my thighs together instinctively and nearly stumble over a crack in the side

AZREN Three months of hell. The hell that began the moment I woke up from the first sleep I've had in years because of her. But she was gone. I told myself not to search for her. She was better off without a creature like me. But with each passing day, the voices of the spirits screaming in my head drove me towards insanity. Then I learned that my mate was to get married to Haden, the jackass alpha who has fought me over everything. I only promised myself that I would take a peek and make sure she is well. I just didn't expect...this. Gods, she is a sight for sore eyes, fuller than the last time I saw her. But the pain in her amber eyes...it takes my fucking breath away. Even the blissful silence is back. Noelle grabs fistfuls of my shirt. "Take me with you," she begs, her voice cracking. "Please. They're coming—I can hear them—" I tilt my head and listen for the thunderous footsteps approaching. Haden's men. They are closing in from all directions. Running is useles
