Alpha Raphael's Second Chance Mate 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 51 - 챕터 60

NORAI was finally out of that hospital,and I wasn't going back to my old room.I made that decision on my own and I told Raphael directly and he looked at me for a moment and then just nodded like he had already been waiting for me to say it."I'm moving into your chambers," I said,"Okay," he said,Just like that,there was no argument, no long talk about it. It's as if , he already knows. Or maybe he decided the same thing, without me knowing.Damon helped with my things, Wren was absolutely thrilled and didn't even try to hide it, and by evening I was settled into Raphael's chambers like I had always belonged there.I was more than glad to be here. I couldn't believe we actually made it official between us.What makes this more exhilarating is while I was here,he took care of everything.My medications were organized before I even asked, he checked on me more times than was probably necessary, and every time I caught him watching me from across the room he would just look away casu

RAPHAELThe meeting hall was packed. Every alpha from the region sat around that long table again, and at the center of it all, Kael sat with Eli in his arms like the kid was some kind of trophy he had won at a fair.I walked in and didn't sit down. I just stood at the edge of the table and looked at my son. "Hand him over," I said,Kael shifted Eli slightly against his chest, "Alpha law states the child stays with the biological parent until the divorce is legally settled, you know this Raphael, even you can't override that,"Scoffed!Over ride?So he still thinks I cared about such?Guess, I've been so quiet and he got used to it."I don't care what the law states right now,"One of the older alphas leaned forward, his voice careful, "Raphael, you cannot just take the child, there are procedures, there are channels for this kind of dispute, we cannot allow—""There are no procedures that matter to me right now,"I let my voice drop into the tone that made even seasoned alphas go

NORAThe dining hall was packed,Plates going down, chairs scraping, Wren's voice cutting above everything else from across the room, Eli is on her lap grabbing at her hair with both fists while she tried to eat around him. I dropped into my seat and reached for the bread. Caden was already three bites into his food, Damon had his phone out, two pack members at the far end were arguing about something in low voices, and the usual dinner noise wrapped around everything like it always did. I tore a piece of bread and chewed it without tasting anything. My head was somewhere else.Raphael's jaw tight when he handed me Eli, his eyes sliding away every time mine tried to find them, long day, and then the door clicking shut and the cold that came after. I tore another piece of bread. Then Isolde walked in. Serena is right behind her, then Iris, the three of them moving to their seats together like they had coordinated it, and something in my chest went tense automatically. I looked

NORAThe pool was warm when I slipped in. I hadn't planned it,I hadn't thought about it, I just walked in still dressed in my evening clothes and kept going until the water rose to my shoulders and the noise in my head went quiet for just a moment. I sat on the submerged step with my back against the tiled wall and stared at the surface above me. Raphael had threatened an entire room full of alphas today. For the sake of Eli and me. And I had sat across from him at dinner not knowing any of it, watching his jaw stay tight and his eyes slide away, thinking about Serena, thinking about myself, thinking about everything except what he had actually done today while I was sitting in my office drowning in my own thoughts,My throat tightened,Then the memories started coming back again, it was accompanied by sudden surges of pain. Not slowly, not gently, they came the way they always did when I had been quiet long enough for them to find me, fast and layered and hitting before I cou

RAPHAELThe moment Damon told me what Serena did in that office, I was already moving,down the corridor, past two pack members who stepped aside without me saying a word, straight to Serena's room, door open without knocking,She spun around from the mirror, surprise flickering across her face before she rearranged it into something smoother. "Raphael, I was just—"I crossed the room in four steps,as my hand went to her throat, not squeezing, just there, pressing her back against the wall with enough force that her head knocked against it lightly, her eyes going wide immediately."What did you say to her," I said,"I just talked to her, I didn't—""What did you say to her,"My voice dropped lower, quieter, colder, the kind of tone that made even senior warriors go very careful with their next words. Serena's jaw tightened,"I told her the truth," she said, "that we are getting married, that we have been sharing a bed, that this pack will be mine—""You went into her office," I said,
