《THE ALPHA'S GREATEST MISTAKE 》全部章節：第 21 章 - 第 30 章

OPRAH’S POVI emptied the glass for the second time, the bitter taste of wine sliding down my throat as my eyes remained fixed on the huge window before me.New York stretched endlessly beneath the twenty seventh floor.The city never rested.Cars flooded the roads below like streams of light, their headlights flashing against the wet streets while endless horns clashed into the air. People crossed roads impatiently, some holding coffee cups, others glued to their phones while hurrying through crowded sidewalks. Huge screens on tall buildings flashed advertisements that painted the streets in changing colors. Taxis stopped and sped away again before another one instantly took its place.Sirens echoed from somewhere far away.A woman in heels rushed across the road while clutching papers against her chest. Two businessmen argued beside a black car. A biker squeezed dangerously between vehicles while curses exploded from angry drivers.Chaos.Pure chaos.Yet strangely, everything still

DERRICK’S POVI knew what I was going to do, wasn’t right, that I should stop and forget, at least for now. But again, I couldn’t stop myself. I didn’t even know why I was here in the first place, buy my wolf, fuck! He couldn't let me be. He was the one who made me come all the way here, ignoring what happened days ago at this same place."Alpha!" I heard someone calling before turning to focus to that direction, only to see Miss Beth, approaching with a smile on her face."I didn't know you were coming." She reached where I was and shook my hand."Well, here I am." For days now, it seemed I couldn't even think straight, let alone know what to say. I knew I looked like a mes, having not be able to sleep for days, made it even worse. I just couldn't rest. My heart, my whole, my wolf everything about me was restless."Are you okay, Alpha?" Beth asked, pulling me back to reality and I managed a smile that didn't even reach my eyes."I am fine." I nodded, my hands on my hair as if that

DERRICK’S POVHow did he know? Because I really didn't believe that such a little kid, would design something like that, that the whole world wanted to purchase.“I didn’t say that,” I forced the thought back down, shaking my head slightly as if it could silence everything inside me.But it was already too late.Because he was right there, looking at me with those hazel eyes that mirrored something I refused to name.My chest tightened again.Baby.The word hit me like a blade.I wanted to reach out. To pull him into my arms again. To hold him properly this time and never let go. To tell him everything without fear. That I was here. That I had always been here, even when I wasn’t.That he was mine.That my blood ran through his veins.But my hands stayed at my sides.Heavy and useless.And that helplessness hurt more than anything.“You are smart,” I said instead, forcing my voice to stay steady. “That is why I am here.”His eyes narrowed slightly.“And what did you mean?” he asked, s

OPRAH’S POVThe treadmill roared beneath me, each strike of my feet syncing with the violence in my head. The belt moved fast, unforgiving, forcing my body into rhythm whether I wanted it or not. The private gym was empty except for me and the mirrored walls that stretched from floor to ceiling, reflecting a thousand versions of myself running but never arriving anywhere.The air smelled of rubber mats, disinfectant, and the faint citrus burn of the purifier in the corner. Outside the glass walls, New York burned alive. Headlights streaked across the night like molten lines. People moved like ants under artificial light, unaware of anything beyond their next step. Horns screamed somewhere far below, faint through the thick glass, mixing with sirens that rose and fell like a second heartbeat of the city.Everything out there looked controlled from this height. Too small to matter. Too distant to fear.Yet inside my head, nothing was controlled.The thought of Zarek at the Academy refus

OPRAH'S POV"Do you care to tell me what exactly is going on, Zarek?" I asked, standing across from him as he ate at the dining table.The entire journey back to the penthouse, he had barely said a word. Every time I asked about the wallpaper on his phone, he avoided the question."Mummy, he is just a friend."He finally placed his spoon on the plate and looked up at me.My throat tightened.A heavy thud echoed in my chest.That man.I clenched my fists and took a step closer."What... what do you mean?" I stuttered, bending slightly toward him. "How long have you two been meeting?"Zarek sighed and crossed his arms over his chest."Not long, Mummy. But he seems like a good man from the times we have met. He and I agreed to be friends."My stomach dropped.I pushed away from the table and began pacing around the dining room. One hand pressed against my forehead while the other hung stiffly at my side.This was bad.Very bad.I had known something like this could happen.I just never t
