All Chapters of The Alpha's Chosen : Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

FELIX If I ever wondered what it felt like to sleep in a tight, cramped space with no room to stretch, I got my answer after passing out in that closet.Everything hurts.Every part of me feels stiff and sore. My back aches. My legs feel wrong. My neck is killing me. It probably would have helped if I had laid down properly, maybe in the middle where there was a bit more space. Instead, I fell asleep sitting up, my back pressed to the wall, my feet jammed hard against the door.Now I’m awake, but it doesn’t feel any better.One of my legs is completely numb. It’s like it doesn’t belong to me. My neck and shoulders feel tight in a way that shouldn’t happen to someone my age. I’m twenty-one. I shouldn’t feel like this.At least not physically.Mentally… I don’t even know anymore.The blackouts still don’t make sense. No one has explained anything. I don’t even know if anyone can.And that girl…I still don’t know why I killed her.That thought sits heavy in my chest, and I push it aw

ZARA “They could be planning something while we’re gone. It’s not safe to take Lee somewhere an Alpha sells Omegas. One Beta won’t be enough to protect her. We need you and Holly to stay here.”“I understand,” he says after a short pause. “I wouldn’t be much help in a one-on-one fight anyway. You’re taking Naomi for extra magic, right?”“She’ll be there in case things go wrong. She can teleport Felix home if needed, fast enough that no one can stop her. I’ll stay close to Damian. If the Alpha plays dirty or tries to bring his Betas into it, I’ll step in. Magic is allowed if they cheat. So we’re covered.”“Good,” he says, though his voice still carries a hint of worry. “I’ll feel better when you’re all back. With Felix. Safe.”“Me too,” I say quietly. And I mean it more than I can explain.Naomi walks back in from the dining room. She has her phone in her hand, so the call wasn’t for me after all. She looks focused, like she’s already a few steps ahead in her mind.“Lorenzo is sending

ZARA “I took him back to the Warren Cottage. Every night. I didn’t stop. I kept doing it again and again, even when it felt wrong, even when I knew something wasn’t right. I just… kept going until he stopped trying to leave on his own. It went on for a long time. Longer than I want to admit.”She pauses, like the memory is heavy.“And then one day, something changed. He just… forgot. He didn’t know where he had been trying to go anymore. It was gone from his mind. He ran back home by himself that day, like it was the only place he knew. After that, he stayed inside. He didn’t come out again, not even when he should have been in bed.”“He’s been having blackouts for a long time,” I say quietly, already knowing the answer.“Yes,” she replies, her voice low. “He has. I know that. I’m sorry for it. I truly am. I did what I thought I had to do back then, but it damaged him. It broke a part of him. It made him lose that connection to his wolf.”She looks at me, more certain now.“But I thi

ZARA Damian stops the car just outside the gates of Blackwood Manor. He steps out to shut them and lock them properly.As soon as he leaves, a tight feeling settles in my chest. I don’t like the idea of leaving Lee behind without an Alpha there. It doesn’t sit right.I turn in my seat to look at Naomi in the back.“Is there a spell you can use to check if anyone is still hiding nearby?”She frowns for a moment, thinking, then gives a small nod. “Give me a second. I can check for shifters close to us.”Right. I could have done that myself. It’s not a hard spell. But it’s not perfect either. It won’t tell us if they’re from the Granite Valley pack. No spell can do that unless we already know who we’re looking for and have something to track them.Still, it should be enough to tell if someone is too close to the property. That’s all we need right now.Naomi closes her eyes and starts whispering under her breath.I feel the magic move. It brushes over my skin, light but clear.She finish

ZARA The drive into town goes more smoothly than we thought it would. That alone feels strange. I keep waiting for something worse to happen.The pack tried to slow us down. They dug deep potholes into the dirt road and dragged heavy, fallen trees across our path. It’s the kind of thing that would stop most people for a long time. It should have slowed us more than it does.But we deal with it using magic without much effort.Naomi steps forward first. She lifts her hand and nudges one of the fallen trees aside with a small flick of her wrist. The trunk shifts, scraping against the ground before rolling out of the way. I follow her lead, focusing on the road instead. I smooth out the potholes with a simple spell, pressing the dirt flat again, filling the gaps until the surface looks almost untouched.It feels too easy. I don’t like how easy it feels.The real problem comes halfway there.We feel it before we fully understand it. There’s a sudden shift in the car, then the sound..
