All Chapters of The Alpha She Stole From Me: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Alpha Thalos’ POVMy eyes were closed. I was asleep, breathing in and out like a calm king of the great castle when suddenly I heard it.A footstep at my door.My eyes snapped open instantly.The scent reached me before the second knock did.If I was not a supreme Wolf and the greatest Alpha with the ability to smell from miles away, I would have easily concluded that the one at my door at this odd hour was Aria.For a brief second, disappointment crossed my mind.Twenty minutes ago, I had gone to rescue her from the dungeon. I had wanted to bring her to the VVIP quarters with me, to keep her where nobody would dare touch her, but she had refused.She had decided to go to her room instead.At first, I wanted to force her to stay. No one rejects the command of an Alpha. Especially not mine. Yet when I looked into her terrified eyes earlier, I understood something.Aria was not afraid of me.She was afraid of what the others would do to her because of me.And because of that, I had retu

Aria’s POV (20 Minutes Earlier)I’d packed a few of my clothes into my luggage.My fingers trembled slightly as I pushed the last cloth inside and closed the bag quietly. The room was dark and cold, the silence pressing heavily against my chest. Outside, distant voices echoed faintly through the residence.The council meeting had already started.That was my only chance.I’d been fortunate enough that Alpha Thalos saved me from the dungeon. But the thought of the aftermath would not stop haunting me. Saving me once did not mean I was truly safe here.Once morning came and Alpha Thalos boarded his helicopter and flew away, my whole world would be doomed again.Maria would gather the wolves around me.She would point at me before everyone and pronounce me a stray. Immediately, the giant gates of the residence would be opened and I would be ordered to walk out alone while the entire pack watched.They would make it into a ceremony. Something humiliating. Something loud enough for the cur

Aria’s POVMorning came quickly like the sky itself was already tired of holding back the light and only wanted to reveal its face for a brief moment before another storm of fate arrived. The air around the residence still carried the coldness of the night, but inside me, nothing felt calm. Everything felt uncertain. Heavy. Dangerous.Earlier on, when Alpha Thalos dismissed the council, he didn’t allow me to return to my room.“That’s dangerous for you.” he had told me firmly, looking directly into my eyes without blinking once.The seriousness in his expression made my heartbeat quicken instantly. There was no hesitation in his voice. No softness. Just certainty.At first, I wanted to argue. I wanted to insist that I would be fine. But deep inside, I already knew the truth. If Alpha Thalos was still within the residence walls, then nobody would dare lay a finger on me. Fear itself seemed to retreat whenever he walked into a room.“Come with me to the VVIP building. I will protect you

Aria’s POVThe heavy ticking sound of the wall clock echoed throughout the SilverGold residence, each second passing louder than the last inside the silence of my room.Ever since I was brought here five hours ago, I had remained inside these quarters while Alpha Thalos stayed somewhere else within the massive residence. We had not seen each other since arriving.At first, I thought perhaps he regretted bringing me here.The thought had settled heavily inside my chest during the first hour. By the second hour, I convinced myself that maybe powerful Alphas simply had more important matters to attend to than worrying about a girl from Wolfhaven.But as time passed, I slowly realized something else was happening inside the residence.Members of the pack moved constantly through the halls, going to and fro with crates of food, barrels of drinks, baskets filled with flowers and silver decorations. Their footsteps were hurried, yet their faces carried excitement instead of stress.Some of t

Selene’s POV“F*ck!”I blurted out in frustration. I couldn't drive past this muddy ground.Five hours ago, I’d driven out of the WolfHaven Residence, headed up North. Even though the journey still had more than ten hours left before I arrived at the Dark Alley of the North, my car tires had somehow gotten stuck in the mud.I stepped out of the car.The cold night air immediately greeted me as I inspected the tires. They were off-road tires customized for my car, especially for long and difficult journeys like this. Yet despite that, I had still gotten stuck.I groaned.Growing my claws from my fingers, I crouched down and began digging around the first tire.I was a wolf.I had known my wolf since I was thirteen years old.Right now, I could easily shapeshift and race toward the Dark Alley using my wolf's speed and agility. The problem was that doing so would consume a lot of energy.The Dark Alley wasn't close.It was a very long journey, and I needed to preserve my strength for wha
