All Chapters of The Alpha’s Obsession: His Luna, His Prize: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"Alpha Wolfe."The voice was high, melodic, and draped in the kind of privilege that only comes from old-pack money. I stopped mid-sip, my heart sinking into my stomach as the young woman I’d seen with my mother earlier practically glided toward him.Dominic didn't turn immediately; his golden gaze was still pinned on me across the room, heavy and possessive. Only when she was inches away did he finally shift his attention. She flushed a deep, vibrant crimson, her scent practically radiating submissive adoration.I knew that look. I’d seen it in the mirror. I signaled a passing waiter and snatched another glass of whiskey—neat. It burned like liquid silver going down, but I needed the sting to stay grounded. I wanted to bolt, to shift and run until my paws hit the Blackport dirt, but I was paralyzed. I watched her laugh, her hand grazing his arm.The seats around the Wolfe table began to fill. High-ranking Betas and Council members gave me tight, polite nods. I prayed to the Moon that

"Alpha Wolfe, are you feeling unwell? You look like you've seen a ghost," the girl—my half-sister—asked, her eyes wide with a fragile, manufactured concern.She was the picture of a High Council princess, but as I looked at her, I felt absolutely nothing. No spark, no pull, just a hollow irritation. I stood up, the chair scraping harshly against the floor.Isla Moreno appeared beside her, her smile dripping with synthetic sweetness. "Dominic, surely you aren't leaving so soon?"A silent, violent explosion went off in my mind. I held her gaze, my voice dropping to a lethal, calm vibration as I fought the urge to let my wolf take over. "You have two daughters, Isla. It is a pathetic tragedy that you choose to recognize only one. If you do not get out of my way in five seconds, I will make sure every bank holding your pack’s debt recalls their loans by dawn. You will be a rogue by Monday."It took a second for the threat to pierce her vanity, another for her to realize I meant it, and a

"Mercy, Alpha," I rasped, my words splintering as the final peak of the shift claimed me. Every nerve ending in my body felt like it was sparking, a frantic, beautiful overload that had my head thumping against the pillows in a rhythmic daze.The pilot’s voice crackled through the cabin speakers just as Dominic prowled over me, his eyes glowing that deep, predatory amber. "The descent is beginning," he murmured against my throat. "But we aren't coming down quite yet."I managed a breathless laugh, my fingers tangling in the dark hair at the nape of his neck. I pulled him close, not wanting him to see the silver sheen of tears in my eyes—the sheer intensity of a mated bond, even an unofficial one, was enough to break a girl. I tasted the salt and heat of our shared fire on his tongue as he hovered at my entrance. My inner wolf was pacing, howling for the completion, pulsing with a hollow ache that only he could silence.He drove into me with a single, devastating thrust. I felt my enti

"Tell me the truth, Cria. I’m drowning here," I whispered into the phone, the reception in the Ravenfall mountains crackling like the fire in the hearth. "I think I’m actually in love with the Alpha.""Then why the hell are you packing your bags, Rhea?" Cria’s voice was sharp, cutting through my emotional fog."Because I can’t see the ice through the storm! Dominic’s world isn't a place for someone like me. I’m a Guardian, a soldier. He’s the Apex. He says he cares, but how far does that actually go when the pack demands a pureblood Luna?""Have you actually had the guts to ask him that?""And give him the chance to shatter what’s left of my heart? I’m not that brave, Cria.""Silence isn't bravery either, babe.""I should have never stayed for this week. It was a massive, beautiful mistake.""Did you hate it? Tell me you hated being with him.""I never wanted the sun to rise," I admitted, a tear sliding down my cheek. "But now the clock is ticking. Reality is howling at the door.""If

"Are you certain? You're telling me you've known the truth about Ivan this whole time?" I whispered, my voice trembling as I gripped Dominic’s hand in the hospital wing.Dominic leaned back against the pillows, his face pale but his golden eyes burning with a fierce intensity. "I've scented Ivan’s betrayal on the wind for months, Rhea. That night at the Surrey estate, after I stormed out of the study, I heard the silver-rounds discharge. I ran back, but it was too late. My brother and his mate were already gone. Ivan had the surveillance footage scrubbed and deep-faked to make it look like I was the one who pulled the trigger. He fed that poison to Lydia, knowing a cub’s mind would shatter under the weight of it.""But why? He's your kin," I croaked, the horror of the deception sinking in."Lydia is the sole heir to the Wolfe family’s ice-hockey empire and the coastal territories. It’s worth billions, and the power that comes with it is absolute. Ivan knew I’d never let him touch a ce
