Semua Bab Stand Back, Alpha: Our Son Is Gone : Bab 101 - Bab 110

Kaida pov “…And if I refuse?” The hall fell silent. My grip on my cloth tightened as I held my breath and waited for a response. I knew I was being a bit difficult, but I wanted to know Jude’s thoughts— I wanted to know why he had chosen this difficult way for me to grow. Seconds passed, and my eyes narrowed sharply when I didn’t hear a response from him. I sighed heavily and raised my head slowly to break the silence, but Jude’s voice cut through. “I won’t force you to join.” His calm voice echoed casually. “If you think you’re satisfied with your weak strength, then you can do whatever you like. But…” My heart paused. I slowly raised my head and met the gaze of the cold young man. The aura around him dropped, his cold eyes pierced through me, then he spat. “…But, you can forget about training under me.” My mind went blank. My eyes widened as I gaped at him. “Jude—!” Benson’s urgent voice sounded, but Jude’s face didn’t even change. He turned around and left indifferent

Kaida Pov“You don’t need to say more.” I swallowed. “Let’s go in, Benson.”Benson seemed to want to say more, but he later said nothing. He sighed, then gave me a nod before he continued to lead the way in.The moment we stepped in, I felt the curious gazes thrown at me.They didn’t hide it.Their eyes lingered, weighed and judged.Though I was uncomfortable, I clenched my fist and continued to trail behind Benson. We passed by so many people until he finally stopped.“Here we are,” his casual voice sounded.I snapped my head up only to realize we had gotten to a quieter place. I looked around with curiosity.Seats were arranged properly, and some were already seated as they conversed with each other. From the aura around them, it was obvious that this place was arranged for the high-ranking people in the pack to observe.My gaze moved from one person to another and finally stopped on the seat placed separately in the middle— the Alpha seat.My eyes lingered on the empty seat, and my

Kaida Pov I froze at the sound of his cold voice. I raised my head and our eyes met. In that moment, it felt like everything around us disappeared, but soon, heat crept under his terrifying gaze. The whole place had turned silent and all eyes shifted to us. I could feel the biting gazes and it made me uncomfortable. I frowned and shifted, then slowly turned my eyes to the left where Jude sat. He had been the one who suggested this, and I had hoped he could explain things, but it seemed Kabir didn’t even know anything about this. My heartbeat quickened as I returned my gaze to Hannah, who still hadn’t come back to her senses. She just stood there, staring at me in disbelief. “I asked a question,” Kabir’s voice snapped, “What is this all about?!” His face was dark, veins faintly visible as he glared at me from where he stood. His eyes seemed to spit fire, and he looked like he would walk over and drag me away if I didn’t give him an answer. My body stiffened under his gaze and m

Kaida PovI gaped at Kabir blankly, his words echoing in my ears, circling inside me again and again.He was right. I was Nat’s master. I was supposed to lead her and not the other way around. If I kept giving in to her weakness, then nothing would ever change. I would remain like this… weak, helpless… someone anyone could step on, just like that woman.My gaze shifted from Kabir to her.She stood at a distance, staring down at me with that same mocking look. The slight curl of her lips, the tilt of her chin—everything about her screamed disdain.Something inside me tightened.My fingers slowly curled into a fist, nails piercing into my palm, but the sharp sting only made the heat in my chest rise higher.Why?Why should I always be the one on the ground?Why should I keep taking hits and just… accept it?My breathing grew heavier.I don’t want to lose. Not like this. Not in front of everyone and definitely not in front of him.My jaw tightened, my gaze hardening as it locked onto he

Kaida Pov At first, we both stiffened. The kiss was unexpected, and I didn’t even know what came over me, but… why didn’t I want to pull away? My heart trembled, and my half-closed eyes locked with Kabir’s stunned ones. My hold on his shirt tightened as I saw the storm in his eyes shift too fast for me to follow. Shock… then something deeper… something darker… Before I could understand it, a strong hand slid to my neck and pulled me closer. Kabir took over. “Boom.” That was how my mind felt. His kiss wasn’t like mine—hesitant, unsure. He devoured my lips like he had been holding back for too long, like something in him had snapped. His grip tightened, almost rough, almost desperate. My thoughts scattered. I couldn’t even remember why I did this. “Urgh… Mmh—” My gasp was swallowed as his lips pressed harder, his tongue slipping in like he owned the space, leaving me no room to think. My lips stung from the bite, but the pain only made something inside me twist tighter. I sh
