The Alpha's Villainess의 모든 챕터: 챕터 11 - 챕터 20

“Scarlett... what’s going on? Why am I tied up?”I ignored Liam and focused entirely on Aurora instead. “It’s not like that, I swear. I just didn’t know—”“—Enough,” she snapped. “I don’t want to hear your lies. You just wanted to make me trust you so that....”But her voice faded as her attention was then stolen elsewhere, more important than anything else in that moment. And I knew exactly what it was.The matebond.I looked over towards Liam and confirmed it was the same, the two of them sharing a look that I knew was unlike anything else one would experience. A thousand thoughts and feeling were racing through their heads as they realised the truth of their relationship. Born from hatred, yet destined for each other. Only, in this case, I knew it would be considered a curse rather than a blessing.“No...,” Aurora whispered. “No. This can’t be real.”“Aurora...? Is that you? Why do you look different...?” Liam asked in a dazed confusion. He struggled with the ropes that bound him,

I didn’t have time to grab my bag. If I somehow survived this ordeal, I knew that was going to cost me, but I had no choice. If I didn’t act immediately, it was going to be too late.I had to get out.The howl rung out loudly into the air behind me as I ran into the forest. Since I’d already been planning for a journey to the Capital, I’d thankfully had the foresight to wear pants under my dress, ones I’d stolen from someone’s laundry, as well as a pair of boots sturdy enough to run in. In one swift movement, I bunched up handfuls of the dress bottom in my hands and pulled hard, tearing it away from the bodice in one clean movement. In that moment, I was immensely grateful for the enhanced werewolf strength.Now freed from the constrictive clothing, I threw it to the ground and kept running ahead. Unfortunately, I had no idea where I was going. I’d been relying on Aurora to somehow get us to the Capital using her magical main character senses. Now that I was on my own, I was painfully

I never fully understood what happened next. Everything came in flashes, recalling only snippets of the events that occurred.I remembered the feeling of shifting, of being on all four paws as I ran towards the clearing. I remembered the men that fought. The two against one sole survivor, a battle soon to be lost as his comrades had already fallen, the bodies littering the area around them. He stood alone and had already taken substantial injuries. Yet he seemed determined to fight until his last breath.Then... blood. I remembered blood, so much of it everywhere, the taste of flesh in my mouth as I joined in on an impossible battle. Why? Why was I doing this? But I didn’t stop. Their weapons flashed in the sunlight, shining against the silver blades and claws that fought back against me.Then I remembered the silence. The eery sensation of everything becoming still around me, with an unimaginable pain that quickly followed behind it. The feeling of blood leaving my own body. Just like

Who the hell was Alistair? How could someone as important as this not be mentioned in the book? Wouldn’t his existence alone have stopped Victor from ascending to the throne with Aurora?...And then I remembered something. Something I’d read over quickly around the start of the book, not paying much attention to it as it seemed unimportant in the grand scheme of the story. When Aurora and Victor first met, it had been not far outside the Capital’s walls. Victor was out there looking for something, investigating an incident into the death of someone close to him. Was that person... Alistair? His very own brother?But if Alistair was alive now... and I had saved him from dying... didn’t that mean I’d now unintentionally prevented Aurora from ever taking the throne? She wouldn’t become the Queen Luna, Victor wouldn’t become the Alpha King, and they wouldn’t get to command the royal armies into a battle against Easthaven’s attacks....I’d completely changed the storyline.But it wasn’t ju

I was prepared this time for the onslaught of crazy sensory signals Alistair’s presence would give me. Instead of being hopeful or curious about the man who made me feel this way, I only felt dread inside. A deep, unknown fear of the pain I knew I would feel soon. The same that I’d seen Liam and Aurora experience upon breaking their matebond.“Alistair... you already know about her?” Aurora spoke up quietly.“I unfortunately had the displeasure of meeting her a few years ago, back during a routine tour of the territories. Or, rather, I was meeting with Liam Pyres, but for some reason, she felt it was her place to wrap herself around him like a snake for the entire conversation,” he said, recalling the encounter coldly. “It was as if she were showing off some kind of non-existent status, desperate to prove that she was worthy of attending a meeting meant for future leaders. Liam treated her like some kind of badge of honour he wore.”His eyes then finally turned to me as he continued, s
