The Alpha's Bodyguard 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 21 - 챕터 30

ALPHA COLE'S P.O.V I knew something was wrong the minute I got to my room. My hand paused and hovered around the door knob, my brows furrowed. I took in a deep breath, wrapped my hands around the doorknob, and pushed the door open.The room was illuminated by the morning rays, and Sylvia was sitting on the edge of my bed. She wasn't wearing one of her sheer night gowns this time, and her hair was pulled up in a ponytail.I closed the door behind me and started to walk towards the bathroom. "You smell like the dungeon," she said, her voice low.I stopped walking and turned to her. "So?"Her eyes lifted up to meet mine, and she slowly stood up. "Were you with her?"I turned to her fully. "Since when did we start to keep tabs on each other's whereabouts?"She closed her eyes. "I have always kept tabs on you, Alpha. Just because you couldn't care less if I am around or not does not mean that I would stop. You are still the man I love. You are still my husband.""I am not your husband,"

ALPHA COLE'S P.O.V The minute the door closed behind us, I let go of Sylvia's hand roughly, my eyes closing as a fresh wave of frustration filled me. I have never liked her as a person, but when she was doing stupid things like these, it made me want to forget every rule that stopped me from absolutely ruining her."You lied to them," she said, her voice low, still breathy from the fight. "You lied to them to protect that slut. You lied to them to make me look insane!""You are fucking insane, Sylvia!" I took a step forward. "Look around you. You started all of this. You told them about our fictional passionate encounters so no one would threaten your position. Then it backfired on you, and you were accused of being barren. Then, you told them about how I was apparently weak in bed and unable to get you pregnant. Then that backfired, too, with the breeder announcement. And now look at you. Fighting publicly with a woman who could snap you clean in half if she so wanted and looking in

ALPHA COLE'S P.O.V "An emergency meeting. At five a.m. and I am learning about it a few hours before. Sensible, don't you think, gamma?"The man took a step back like he was expecting me to hit him. But my attention was divided. I could smell Selena's scent, leaving my room, andI ached to shut that door in his face and go after her.But nothing good could ever come out of refusing to hear the origin of a meeting scheduled without my permission at such an ungodly hour."I apologize, alpha. It is just that the council agreed that there have been some recent developments that would be discussed, and the council came to a conclusion exactly a few minutes ago."I gave a slow nod. "Oh, I understand. We are not having a meeting. The council is requesting to see me."He went quiet, and I gave a small nod. "Let them know that I will be there.""Thank you, Alpha."I watched as he walked away, fully aware that I didn't have much to look forward to anyway, even if I rushed to close the door.I

ALPHA COLE'S P.O.VThe main entrance doors to the meeting room opened, and I took in a deep breath, my chest tightening slightly. I started to walk forward when a person suddenly breezed past me and ran into the meeting room.The scent hit my nostrils, and my brows furrowed as my eyes settled on the part of her that I could see. A dangerously low back dress that seemed more like it was picked for convenience but was also achieving the bonus of distraction.Selena?"Alpha," Evan said, settling outside the door.I gave a small nod and immediately entered, just as one of the council members sitting next to Isaac spoke up."Who are you?" The man asked, his eyes fixed on the lady in the cloak.I turned to her. Her face was mostly shielded, but that scent, that body... it belonged to Selena. No one else."Sorry," she said, her voice uncharacteristically high. Selena had an elegant, feminine tone. She was definitely making it this screechy. "I apologize for being late, but I was asked to be

ALPHA COLE'S P.O.V My breath hitched as I heard the seer call on the woman I knew deep down to be Selena. I closed my eyes for a brief second, my head slightly swirling with the amount of annoying, weird scents I had to take care of so close to me.I sat still till the woman walked towards me till her scent filled my nostrils.I looked up slowly, and my heart skipped a beat. I could see those eyes even behind the cloak, and she looked just as conflicted as me."Alpha," she whispered, her fingers coming to rest next to my shoulder. I slowly reached out, my hand wrapped around her other hand, and I pulled her down to sit on my lap.She leaned in, her heart beat so loud that I could feel it fast against my own. My hand fell to her waist, and I slowly ran my hand up her back. Till her skin came under my fingers, and I couldn't help but desire it more.My other hand gently cupped her face, then pushed the cloak back just enough, till I could fully see her face, till I knew for sure that
