บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha's Chosen : บทที่ 101 - บทที่ 110

ZARA It feels like a heavy cloud has finally moved away from above Damian’s head. The change is clear. His mood is lighter now.It is probably just the calm that comes after sex. I know that feeling does not last forever. With everything happening around us, we will probably not get another quiet moment like that anytime soon. Still, at least now I know one thing that helps him. One simple thing that can pull him out of that dark mood.I should have realized it earlier.He is an Alpha. He is also a man. Most of the time, sex fixes the problem. Maybe not every time, but close enough.It helped me too. I feel better than I did before. Even if it meant I had to change my underwear again afterward.“Do we have to go back downstairs?” he asks.I glance at the alarm clock on the nightstand. “It’s already lunch time. I’m not really hungry,” I say. “But we do have guests. They might want to eat.”“I’ll cook,” he says right away. The answer comes fast, like he has already decided. “You can

CALEB I nod again, even though I know that isn’t really true. Some of the men in that diner are definitely going to remember what she looks like. Naomi stands out too much for them to forget.Still, it’s a good thing she doesn’t live anywhere near here. Even if one of them gets the idea to follow her later, they won’t be able to find her. They wouldn’t even know where to start.The thought still makes my stomach twist.I hate that this place exists.I hate that I had no idea about it until today.My mind keeps circling back to the same question. If the witch finds out that this town belongs to a pack… will that be enough to stop her from letting that Alpha take Felix away from us?It can’t be legal.At least, I hope it isn’t.Naomi takes a slow sip from her drink while her eyes move around the room again, careful and quiet. She’s watching everything.I sit there and realize I have nothing to say.The awkward feeling is back again. Only this time it’s different from the one we had ear

CALEB I still can’t believe we’re going back there.It was already tense sitting in that diner for forty minutes. My nerves were tight the whole time. Now we’re planning to go back, sneak around while completely invisible, and hope nothing goes wrong. It sounds like something that should fail.We parked just off the road on a narrow dirt path. It looks like it leads into an old trail, the kind no one has used in years. Plants have grown over most of it. The place feels quiet in a way that makes me uneasy. Now we’re just standing here while Naomi gets ready to cast her spells so we can slip back into the Valley Diner without being seen.“How exactly do we get back inside?” I ask. I need to understand this before we move.“Short-distance teleporting won’t drain me,” Naomi says.“Even while you’re holding the invisibility spell?” I ask.She smiles like I just said something obvious. “You really don’t know much about witch magic, do you?”“I guess not,” I admit. It feels a little emba

CALEB “Not really,” I mutter as my body slowly comes back into view.I try to breathe properly, but it’s hard. My chest feels tight. For a second, I think I might black out.“Just give it a minute,” Naomi says. “You’ll be okay.”She turns back to the waitress. I hadn’t noticed before, but the woman has been staring at us the whole time, frozen in place, eyes wide with shock.“I’ll be fine,” I say, more to myself than anyone else. I need to believe it.“We have to get Tara out of here,” I continue. “She said the Alpha uses the women here to have children. And if the kids show signs of being Omegas or Alphas, he takes them away.”That’s beyond messed up. No wonder she reacted the way she did.Naomi presses her lips together. Her face goes hard. “She wants to go home first before we leave town. I told her that’s not safe.”“I can’t leave Eli. He’s only seven.”I look at her, confused. “Your kid is at home alone? He’s seven?”She breaks down right away, tears spilling fast. “The Harrison

CALEB Tara and her kid stay quiet for most of the drive out of town. She writes in a small journal for a while, her head down, focused. The kid, who had been so excited at first, talking fast about teleporting outside and watching an invisible car appear again, loses that energy quickly. Not long after, he falls asleep beside her in the backseat.They packed fast. One medium duffle bag, done in less than two minutes while we waited to jump back to the car.I close my eyes for a bit. I don’t feel like throwing up this time, which is something, but my stomach is empty and tight. It makes the whole ride worse. My nerves won’t settle.Naomi didn’t want to scare them, but we’ll need Tara’s help when we get back.What if she refuses?What if she doesn’t want to speak against the pack she just escaped from?And the witch—will she believe us when we say Tara asked for help? Will she listen at all?Will any of this be enough to stop Eli from being dragged here?I don’t know. None of us do.A
