Lahat ng Kabanata ng 358 Days Of Temptation & Sins With My Alpha Stepsons: Kabanata 91 - Kabanata 100

Alora’s POV:I woke slowly, like something reluctant to return to the surface, and for a few seconds I did nothing but stare at the ceiling above me.“You’re awake, Alora.”Betty’s voice cut gently through the haze. I turned my head, my neck stiff, and found her seated beside me, her hands folded in her lap as though she had been waiting for this exact moment.“I will go inform the Alphas,” she added quickly, already rising.My hand shot out before I could think it through, fingers wrapping around her wrist. “I want to be alone.”She paused, glancing down at me, uncertainty flickering across her face. “But they said I should inform them if you wake up.”“You can,” I said, my voice quieter now but firm. “Just… tell them I want to be alone.”Betty hesitated, clearly torn between duty and whatever she saw in my expression. “I should call the doctor, then.”“No, I’m good,” I replied, forcing a steadiness I didn’t feel. My body still felt strange, like it belonged to someone else, but that

Kade’s POV:She paused beside the car, her hand resting lightly on the door as her eyes swept over me, like she was trying to figure out if I was worth the trouble. There was something distant in that look, something that hadn’t been there before, and it unsettled me more than I wanted to admit.“I’ll take you to school,” I said, keeping my voice steady. “It’s not safe for you.”“Don’t worry about me. I can manage,” she replied, her tone flat.“I can’t just leave you like this until I understand what’s going on,” I pressed, stepping a little closer. “You haven’t told anyone what happened.”She let out a soft, humorless scoff, finally meeting my eyes. “Am I supposed to believe you care about me?”The question hit harder than I expected, and for a second, I had nothing to say. The space between us stretched, thick with tension, filled only by the faint hum of the morning and the distant sound of passing cars.“My father put us in charge of you,” I said eventually, though even to my own

Alora’s POV:My hands rested against his chest as I tried to push him away, but the effort faltered before it even began. There was no strength behind it, no real intention. Instead of creating distance, my fingers curled into his shirt, bunching the fabric as I pulled him closer.I wanted this.That truth settled heavily in my chest, undeniable now. I couldn’t keep pretending I didn’t feel it, that pull, that sharp, insistent bond tightening every time he came near. Fighting it had only made it worse, stretching me thin, leaving me restless and raw.Maybe if I gave in… just once… it would quiet.Maybe the tension would finally break.One time wouldn’t hurt.No one would know.My eyes fluttered shut as his lips brushed mine, soft at first, almost hesitant, but it didn’t stay that way for long. The moment stretched, then snapped, and suddenly the kiss deepened, turning urgent, hungry. My breath hitched as his mouth moved against mine with a kind of quiet intensity that made my chest ti

Alora’s POV: My heart hammered against my ribs like a frantic bird trapped in a cage, the rhythm erratic and suffocating. I looked at him, really looked at him, taking in the sharp angles of his jaw and the intense, unreadable darkness in his eyes. The air inside the car felt thick, charged with a tension that was almost tangible, pressing against my skin and making it difficult to draw a full breath. I was torn, suspended in a dizzying limbo between saying yes and saying no. It was a war waged within the quiet confines of my mind. If I said yes, I wasn’t sure I was going to survive the day intact. But if I said no, I would have everything gone and done with. I could retreat back into the safety of my mundane existence, pressing a reset button on this dangerous encounter. I would quench the fire burning inside of me at the moment, a desperate, hungry flame that threatened to consume my rational thoughts, and it would be over. I was so tired of feeling like this, tired of the cons

Alora’s POV:“Are you seriously asking me that?” he asked, his voice low but edged with disbelief. I didn’t respond. I couldn’t. The words sat somewhere between my chest and my throat, heavy and unmoving.“We had a deal, Alora,” he continued, his gaze narrowing as he studied my silence like it was an answer in itself.“Luna Alora,” I cut in, sharper than I intended.The shift in his expression was immediate. His jaw tightened, and his lips pressed into a thin line as if he had just tasted something bitter. He leaned back slightly, not quite retreating but pulling away enough to show that he didn’t like being corrected. His fingers curled against the edge of the table, tapping once, twice, before going still.“We had a deal, Luna Alora,” he corrected, his tone firmer now. “But I haven’t heard from you. If anything, you’ve been avoiding me, and that pissed me off.”“I wasn’t avoiding you,” I said, finally meeting his eyes.“Then why did you see me in the cafeteria and walk away?” he sho
