All Chapters of Abandoned by the Alpha King: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

CHAPTER 21Matthew's POVThe alarms were still screaming, coating the walls of the corridors in a sickening, rhythmic pulse of red light. But the external threat was no longer my primary concern. My warriors were already at the walls, their claws tearing through the frontline of the rogue advance. The pack could handle a direct assault. What they could not handle, what I could not tolerate was a cancer growing from within.Sabotage.The word itself tasted like ash. The aura dampeners were deep within the underground secure vaults, protected by triple-encryption biometric locks. The rogues didn't hack them. They didn't blow them up. Someone had simply walked in and pulled the dampening crystals right out of their housings, transmitting Zarek’s unfiltered Alpha-hybrid aura to every predatory wolf within a fifty-mile radius.“Traitor,” Match snarled inside my skull. His voice was a heavy, tumbling rumble that vibrated through my jawbone. “Blood. We tear the throat out. No words. Only tee

CHAPTER 23Zarek’s POVThe holographic display of the Manhattan defense sectors projected a pale blue glow across the strategy table. I studied the data, counting exactly forty-eight primary patrol squads currently moving along the northern boundary lines. The failure rate of the perimeter grid had dropped to zero percent since Papa eliminated the abnormality in the mainframe room.“The tactical deployment is solid, Zarek,” Klien said, his fingers hovering over the glass tablet. “But you are still leaving the eastern river corridor out of your primary calculations. If the Council launches an airborne attack, they will use the low-level thermal currents over the water to bypass our radar cones.”“Thank you,” I replied calmly. “I will redirect Beta Squad to cover the river delta immediately.”My memory instantly pulled up the structural layout of the Lycan Council’s standard tactical gunships. I calculated the exact route they would likely take if they returned with a formal confiscatio

CHAPTER 25 Nessa’s POV I woke up at six in the morning. I did not know if it was because I was nervous about my first day at work or because I was still carrying the weight of everything I had learned last night about what Zarek’s life would be like. I was grateful that Matthew had comforted me. He really had a kindness that was not easy to see from his appearance. At first glance, he looked like a handsome man who had gathered all the arrogance in the world. He seemed cold and uninterested in beautiful women, but he was not like that at all. He was kind, and there was something different about the way he drew me toward him. I was beginning to trust everything he told me. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I thought I looked decent. The maroon blazer and cream blouse suited me well. It was the official uniform for the receptionists at the Grand Arizmendi Plaza Hotel. I only felt a little uncomfortable with the skirt because it reached halfway up my thighs. Matthew might kick me

CHAPTER 27 Nessa’s POV I was still kneeling on the cold lobby floor while Zarek’s warm hands held tightly onto my trembling shoulders. I was trying to catch my breath now that Lady Vanya’s deadly presence was gone, but before I could completely calm myself, an incredibly loud and deafening sound suddenly shattered the silence throughout the entire hotel. The massive glass facade and the automatic double doors at the entrance of the Grand Arizmendi Plaza Hotel exploded into millions of pieces of glass at the same time. The shockwave from the explosion was so powerful that I immediately wrapped my arms around Zarek and covered his body with mine to protect him from the sharp pieces of glass flying through the air. The Delta-tier guards who had been standing beside the pillars immediately dropped to their knees and lowered their heads to the floor. It was a miracle that none of us were hit by the glass. In an instant, a huge w

CHAPTER 29Nessa’s POVAfter Matthew arrived and spoke in the hotel lobby that morning, the world inside the Grand Arizmendi Plaza Hotel suddenly changed for me.The place that had once been filled with judgmental whispers and discreet looks of contempt had become quiet, disciplined, and respectful toward me.When I returned behind the front desk to continue my shift, I noticed how Sarah and Elena could barely look me directly in the eye.Whenever they approached me to hand over confirmed guest portfolios or room keys, they bowed deeply and formally.It was the sincere and serious respect of subordinates toward their Luna.The fear in my heart was gone.Matthew’s words in front of everyone had become a thick wall I could lean against, giving me a confidence I had never possessed before.I might be a simple woman, but I was the one chosen by the Alpha.I refused to embarrass him simply because I
