บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha's Chosen : บทที่ 91 - บทที่ 100

ZARA It takes almost six minutes for my mates to come down the stairs after Caleb goes to get them. In that time, at least one bedroom door upstairs gets smashed. The loud crack of breaking wood echoes through the house.Brooke jumps hard when the door slams. Her shoulders jerk and she looks around quickly, startled.The sound doesn’t bother me. It was expected. There was no reason to flinch.Eyes go straight to Damian when he finally appears.He looks steadier than he did yesterday. His posture is straight again, and he moves with purpose. But the cold in his eyes hasn’t gone away. His jaw is tight, the muscles along it locked like stone.Nothing about this situation sits well with him. Not the strangers in our home. Not the accusation hanging over us. Not the fact that someone died in our territory.Still, he’ll push through it. He always does.Attention shifts to Felix next.He looks almost relaxed, which feels strange after everything that has happened. There’s no tension in his

FELIX Everything feels unreal.Maybe it feels this way because dreams have been coming often lately. Too many of them. Dreams that felt real enough to touch.The pack still wants to fight this. That much is clear. But the witch already made the truth plain. According to her spell, guilt belongs to me.Everyone watched the memory play out.There was no mistake.No confusion.My wolf killed that girl.Something terrible happened, and there is no way to undo it.“This is insane. He didn’t do this,” Damian says suddenly, pulling me out of the fog in my head.The witch, Elara, lets out a tired sigh.“The evidence is clear,” she replies.“There has to be some mistake,” Zara argues quickly. “Can you cast it again? Just to be certain.”My mate refuses to accept what we all saw.The belief my pack holds in me feels wrong. It presses against my chest like weight.That kind of loyalty isn’t something I deserve.A rough breath slips out before words follow.“There are times when I black out duri

DAMIAN If I don’t want this to look like I’m trying to take over his pack, then I need a real reason to remove him.The fact that he’s a selfish opportunist isn’t enough.“We need to learn more about his pack,” I say, watching him leave. “That’s the first step.”“That makes sense,” Zara agrees.“We should also check if he still has people on your territory,” Naomi adds. “It won’t change anything about this case, but you could report it. If they’re still here, he’ll be forced to pull them out. They can’t stay once it’s clear this land belongs to you. Their Alpha knows that now, so they should know too.”I doubt any of them are still out there.They probably think they already got what they came for.“That reminds me,” Zara says. “I’d like to set something up to block the entry points into the Shadow Woods. It’s a big area, so a spell would make the most sense.”Smart.I wish we had thought of that before everything went wrong.“We can do that while we’re here,” Naomi says. “We can set

FELIX I wake with a slow, heavy feeling pressing against my head.Damn it.I only meant to lie down for a minute. Just long enough to get comfortable. Maybe long enough to bother Damian a little so he would stop focusing on his urge to kill the other pack.If I could distract him, maybe he would calm down.That was the plan.Instead, I’m back here.I’m sitting in a desk inside the same classroom again. The same place my mind keeps dragging me back to over and over.Felix’s Nightmare Hall.The room is quiet in that strange, unnatural way that always makes my skin crawl. Every student around me sits frozen in place like statues. Heads forward. Hands on their desks. Eyes open but empty.No one moves.No one blinks.It feels wrong every time I see it.At least Cassandra isn’t here.That’s one thing I can be thankful for.I stay where I am. I don’t bother getting up. There’s nowhere I need to rush to. No door I need to reach.So I sit there and stare at the whiteboard at the front of the

ZARA Waiting has always been a special kind of torture for me. It presses on my nerves and makes every minute feel longer than it should. Having a hot temper does not help. When Caleb leaves, my body fills with restless energy. I cannot sit still. I cannot think clearly.The hours crawl by after he goes, and the feeling only grows worse.I insisted that Lee and Holly stay home from school today. After that, my ability to make calm decisions pretty much disappeared. Still, I know I made the right choice. I cannot risk letting them out of my sight right now.That Alpha and his Betas could still be somewhere in town. They might just be waiting for the right moment to come back and claim the Omega they believe belongs to them now.Felix.My stomach tightens every time I think about it. The thought of handing him over makes me feel sick.It is not as simple as letting them walk in and take him away.First, the witch will have to undo what we did.Elara will dissolve the bonds we made wi
