Marked by the Alphas のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

Axel POVI take the stairs two by two towards Anton’s quarters. I am curious as fuck as to why Elara went to see him. I can only imagine what she had to say to him. I know I would have verbally ripped him to pieces if someone kidnapped me.“Is she done yet?” I ask Maxim.“Yes, Alpha,” he nods. “She left in the direction of her quarters ten minutes ago.”“Thanks,” I tap him on the shoulder and walk to Elara’s quarters.I cannot help the sheepish grin when I think about her. Last night was glorious. I completely forgot about Alice and her pregnancy. Not to mention that Elara was so loving and attentive last night.“Elara?” I knock on her door and wait.“Elara,” I knock again, harder this time, but she still does not reply.I know I am being ridiculous, but a little devil is sitting on my shoulder, convincing me that something is wrong, and I open the door.“Elara, are you here?” I shout as I step inside, but I am greeted with silence.I want to turn around and leave, but I know I will n

Axel POVI wake up stiff and with a monstrous headache. I sit up and immediately grab my head when the room starts spinning.“What the fuck,” I groan, pinching my temples.“Not so loud,” Kane groans. “My head wants to explode.”“You too?” I glance at him.“Goddess, must we share everything?” Kane grunts.I bite back my laugh, it hurts too much, and look, if Elara is still sleeping.“Shit!” I jump up, ignoring my splitting head. “Where is she?”“What?” Kane croaks.“Elara!” I look at him, terrified. “She’s gone.”“Calm down,” Kane croaks, massaging his temples. “She’s probably just in the bathroom.”“You're right,” I sigh, relief washing over me. I have been so worried about her that I immediately jumped to the worst-case scenario.I march to the bathroom and knock on the door, but there is no reply.“Elara?” I knock again, a dreadful feeling of déjà vu echoing through my soul. What if she passed out again?“Fuck this,” I open the door, and my heart stops when I find it empty.“Elara,”

Elara POVI wake up to light streaming in through the window and look around when my eyes adjust. I am in a decent-sized bedroom, furnished in cosy earth tones of green, orange and yellow. Like a forest in the middle of fall. But it is not fall, I realise, looking through the large windows and noticing small snowflakes dancing through the sky.Where am I? I do not recognise this place, nor can I remember how I got here.I push myself from the bed, but instantly grab my head when dizziness overwhelms me. My head starts pounding, and my vision blurs.With a groan, I lay back into the pillows and close my eyes. Then the panic sets in, and beads of sweat burst across my hairline.Am I in an institute or something? It does not look like a hospital or clinic, but it has a medical feel to it. What day is it? Why can I not remember anything? There are literally no memories, no matter how hard I try to think of something.The door opens, and a woman enters.“You’re awake,” she smiles, friendly

Kane POVI drop Alice’s hand like it is burning me.“Did she just say what I think she said?” I ask Axel.“Sure, fucking did,” he growls.“Kane,” Alice croaks. “Please get your father.”An awkward silence fills the room, and the midwife Alice glances uncomfortably between me, Axel and Mother.“Alice,” Mother’s voice is stern but even. “He isn’t here.”I am beside myself with anger, and I grab Mother’s arm and drag her into a corner.“Why the fuck is she asking for him?” I demand in an angry whisper. Axel and I had our suspicions about, and this practically confirms our worst fears. This baby is not ours; it is Father’s.“I honestly don’t know.” Mother looks at me. I am so used to her lying to me, but this time she seems to be telling the truth. Does she also have the same suspicions as we do?“Alice was with Father the night she was out,” I hiss, crossing my arms.Mother’s lips pull into a thin, white line as she glares at me. She breathes heavily, her wolf flashing in her eyes. I rar

Axel POV“No,” I whimper, gently wiping a blond curl off Alice’s forehead. “Please, no.”“It’s a boy,” the midwife announces, but my heart is too broken to pay attention.“Alice, please,” I rest my head against hers, my tears dripping onto her cheeks.How can she be just gone like this? The woman Kane and I have loved for so long. The woman we were supposed to be mated to for life.“Axel,” Kane gently pulls me away. “Come on, man.”“What the fuck’s wrong with you?” I shout, breaking free from his hold. “Our mate is dead, and you don’t care.”“I do care,” Kane bellows. “But this isn’t helping. We have two tiny pups who need us right now.”“Kane’s right,” Mother gently touches my shoulder. “This is a shock to all of us, and we will mourn her. But for now, your children come first.”Your children, pfft, right. Those babies are Father’s bastards; I am certain of it.I take a step back and look at the room. The doctor and midwife are cleaning Alice’s body and the two tiny babies lying in a
