《The Alphas Broken Mate》全部章節：第 11 章 - 第 20 章

IRISMy pulse wouldn’t stop hammering in my ears.My skin was too tight, my body too warm. I swallowed thickly against the lump in my throat as I pushed through the hallway. I could hear Ash’s heavy footsteps muffled by the steady beating of my heart.“Iris.” His voice cut through the haze, making my steps falter for half a second. His boots stopped behind me. I didn’t turn, too busy trying to figure out why the hell his scent was the only thing I could pick up. Not the trees swaying outside the open windows, not the smell of wet concrete. Just him.“It seems like you have something on your mind.” His voice felt rougher than usual, vibrating through my body.My wolf… purred.Okay. Something was definitely wrong.“I- uh,” I stuttered, forcing my legs glued to the ground so I wouldn’t turn. At this point, I didn’t trust myself.Think Iris.But I couldn’t. “Is this because of the fact that you haven’t been sleeping well?” He asked knowingly. “You look… better today.”I snapped my head

KADEShe’s been locked in for a week now.Was she really that mad at me?It wasn’t like I could tell her what was actually going on. Werewolves having traits of vampires, sucking dry every ounce of blood from your veins. It was better she didn’t know.“You’ve been pacing for twenty minutes now,” Ash’s voice cut through my thoughts like a blade. My steps faltered, I raised my head.His face was neutral, no expression, like always. But something else was different. His hands wouldn’t stay still, I wonder if he knew.I cleared my throat, tearing my thoughts away from that. “I’m yet to see these hybrids.” I said. “We even spent some time in your pack, around your territory. Ryker’s included. And yet…”Ash pushed off the doorway, arms crossed over his chest. “That’s because it’s a strategy.”I gave him a flat look. “A strategy.”“These werewolves aren’t just rogues, they didn’t just become hybrids out of nowhere.” His voice dropped. “Someone is making them. They’re too organized. Too calc

IRISThe pack had been buzzing with a feeling I couldn’t place.Stillness.That was the only thing I could recognize. It hung over the pack like a weighted blanket, pressing on the already frayed minds of the pack members.The word out was that Sussie had stumbled upon some poisonous plants and Alpha Kade took it up personally to find a cure. Didn’t really raise suspicion since that was the kind of man he was, selfless, direct. But what had people skeptical was the fact that no one had seen Sussie for the past three days.Not even a shadow of her.So naturally, people started talking. Theories flew left right and center. Some were convinced that it was the same thing that killed their Luna, Katrina.I knew better.I’d seen it with my own eyes. Poison didn’t make people bleed. And it sure didn’t make someone like Kade disoriented. I’d seen it in his eyes the moment I stepped into the hallway. The way her eyes were wide and bloodshot as she hung onto consciousness. The scent of blood

IRISI've been stuck doing the same thing for a week now.Staring at the necklace.It sat on my nightstand, sunlight glinting off the blood ruby. That, also, was the only thing I’d learnt so far. That the previous stone embedded in the gold casing was a blood ruby.Elder Rain had reluctantly given me that information, even though her stares this time were a little bit longer than usual, her squints narrower too. Who could blame her really? Her daughter was still bedridden while everyone else got to live their lives.And it wasn’t just her to be honest. The other pack members too. Granted I’d gotten used to their silent detest for the outsider and their jabs every once in a while, this time it felt different.Their stares lingered too long, their whispers too low. It should have bothered me more than it did, what happened to Sussie. But right now I was more focused on why the hell I'd touched a stone and ended up in another different location. And that strange woman…I sucked in a bre

IRISMy footsteps echoed through the hallways like a drum, the sound bouncing around the walls of my mind.You could get hurt.Ash’s words echoed in my head but it didn’t register. I was already aware of the risks before I started this entire thing. I groaned, running a hand over my face.“I should have asked about the curfew,” I muttered to myself, letting my fingers hang over my lips.The urge to chew my nails raw tugged at my chest. “Probably has something to do with Sussie,” My mind raced, restrategizing. I’ll have to law low for a while. Knowing Ash, the only reason he’d let me out of there without a plan was because he had one… I just didn’t know what it was.Probably something to stop me from meeting the lady in the cave.Good luck with that.I turned the corner, cutting through the main hall. The chatter of the pack members invading my head almost immediately. Their voices seemed to stall the moment I stepped in, their gazes shifting uncomfortably like they just shared a sec
