All Chapters of The Alpha's Bodyguard Is a Woman : Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

VioletI ended up telling Dante that we'd leave this morning. I already packed my bags last night, but I wasn't really excited for this trip. I woke up to a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. It's the feeling you get when something terrible happened the night before, but your brain tries to protect you by delaying the memory for just a few seconds.For a brief moment, I stared up at the dark ceiling, breathing in the quiet air of the bedroom. But then the floodgates opened, and the memories came crashing back in full force.My chest felt so heavy, it was as if someone had placed a hammer right over my heart while I slept. I groaned, pulling the blanket up and over my face. I squeezed my eyes shut, hoping that hiding under the covers would somehow make reality go away.It didn’t work. It never does.I lay there under the dark fabric for a few long minutes, forcing myself to take deep, slow breaths. My head was pounding with a dull, throbbing ache that settled right behind my eyes.

VioletThe elevator ride up was suffocating.The enclosed space smelled of polished disinfectant, and the, sour tang of my fucking anxiety.I was standing trapped between Dante and the cold mirrored wall, trying to make myself as small as humanly possible.Gwen was standing way too close to Dante—practically pressed up against his side, her elbow repeatedly digging into his jacket.Every few seconds she'd let her hand brush against his arm like it was a total accident, her fingers lingering just a beat too long on his sleeve."I'm so nervous, Dante," she whispered softly to him, tilting her head back to look up at his hard face. "I'm just... I'm really worried all this stress is going to hurt the baby."Dante stiffened instantly, every muscle in his shoulders locking up. "Back off, Gwen," he growled, his voice a low vibration in his chest.Before she could respond, he shifted his body, stepping straight toward me and placing himself directly in front of me.He effectively turned his b

VioletI was almost to the metal exit doors of the parking garage when I heard him.The sharp, rapid slap of footsteps echoed hard against the damp tile floor behind me, closing the distance too fast.Before I could even process what was happening, a hand wrapped around my wrist—not with the cruel force of a guard, but with a desperate, trembling gentleness that made my breath catch in my throat."Don't," Dante said, his voice entirely breathless, ragged, and thick with panic. "Don't go out there, Violet. Please. Just wait."I stopped dead in my tracks, but I refused to turn around and look at him.I could feel the bitter, freezing draft of night air bleeding through the cracks in the garage doors, could hear the sheets of rain lashing violently against the concrete outside.All I wanted in that moment was to push those doors open, step out into the storm, and never look back at this nightmare."Listen to me," Dante pleaded, his fingers still wrapped securely around my wrist, anchorin

DanteMy back was stiff when my eyes opened. I was sitting on the hard floor, leaning against the cold wall in the hallway right outside Violet’s guest room.I blinked away the heavy sleep and rubbed my face with both hands. It took me a second to remember why I was sleeping on the floor like a dog.Then I saw it. The wooden tea tray was sitting near the door frame.It was empty. Beside the clean cup was a small piece of paper with her neat writing."Thank you for the tea," the note said.I picked up the note and stared at the words for a long time. A small wave of relief washed over my chest.She did not throw the tray at the wall. She drank it, and she wrote to me.I stood up slowly, my knee joints popping in the quiet hallway. I shoved the paper into my pocket and walked down to my study on the main floor.I needed a shower, but I needed to check my schedule first. I sat behind my heavy wooden desk and tried to clear my head.Before I could even touch my laptop, the door swung open

DanteMy chest felt tight as the doors slammed shut behind Violet. Every instinct in my body screamed at me to sprint out of that room right after her.I took one small step toward the exit, but the loud sound of a wooden gavel hitting the desk brought me to a dead stop."Please don't walk out of this chamber, Alpha," Corvin said, his voice echoing off the high stone walls.I nailed my feet to the cold floor, clamping my teeth together so hard my jaw throbbed.If I ran after her right now, these fools would use it as proof that I was incompetent and ruled by my emotions. So I forced myself to slowly turn back around and face the men sitting up on their high platform.I kept my face blank, hiding the rage burning right beneath my skin.Gwen was sitting in the front row, watching me with a smug grin that made me want to tear the room apart."She runs like a frightened animal because she knows she doesn't belong here," Vane said, leaning forward on his elbows."She has no manners, and ze
