Semua Bab Alpha Mine: Bab 51 - Bab 60

If I had ever wondered what it would be like to be the heroine of a romance manhwa, an innocent bystander forced to fight tooth and nail to protect her reputation from scheming villains, I didn't have to look any further because I was now living it.The scandalous accusation that I had stolen a dress from the woman in front of me was spreading like wildfire through the growing crowd, and they were now whispering to themselves, judging me before I even had a chance to defend myself.“How shameless,” someone scoffed. “And she’s supposed to be our Luna?” another muttered.A flush crept up my cheeks, but I held my tongue. Yelling would only make me seem irrational. And that was the last thing I needed right now. Instead, I focused my attention on the brunette glaring at me. Her breath came fast and sharp, her eyes glowing gold with barely contained rage. “There’s a misunderstanding,” I began to explain while raising my hands in a calming gesture. “I didn’t stea—” “THAT WAS A GIFT FROM

For a heartbeat, I thought I might just kneel over from pure shock. Time had literally stopped. The air was still. Every living thing was frozen like a statue as the god before me stepped forward. He radiated an aura so overwhelming it could make even the bravest warrior tuck tail and run. How I was still standing was a miracle. Zeus's gaze snapped to mine. His eyes were silver, swirling with power older than the galaxy itself, and right now those eyes were locked on me. I swallowed hard. My wolf stirred inside me, but I forced myself not to break eye contact. "You summoned me, little wolf," he said, his voice a low rumble that seemed to vibrate through the earth itself. He examined me for a moment like a king would an ant that was nothing more than an insect at his feet waiting to be crushed. "Mortals who call upon the King of Olympus typically arrive with offerings. Wine. Gold. Their lives, if necessary." His lips curved into a cruel smile. "Yet here you stand, empty-handed and

The walk back to the packhouse was agonizing; my heart wouldn't stop racing. William led the group while Chanelle and Nathaniel followed close behind, sandwiching me in the middle like I was some criminal from a high-stakes prison they were escorting. Which, honestly, wasn’t far from the truth. I was completely at their mercy. I just prayed Nicholas wasn’t as hostile as these three.The moment we stepped outside the building, a group of werewolves gathered to watch the commotion. Honestly, I was getting major déjà vu. It felt like I had seen this scene countless times. If only I got paid a dollar for every time it happened."Who is that?" a man asked."No clue," another voice replied."Are we about to have an execution?" The excitement in their tone made me recoil."Man, I hope so. A trespasser who doesn't know who we are? She's got balls, I'll give her that."I bit my lip. If these wolves were unhinged before, they were now three times crazier. Without my Luna status, I was fresh m

Chanelle and William exchanged glances while Nicholas remained still, a silent battle raging behind his unmoving gaze.Sofia broke the silence."Alec doesn't have a sister."Chanelle nodded. "Try again, rogue. We're not buying it."I narrowed my eyes. So not even my own flesh and blood remembered me. Just great."Fine. I have nothing more to say. No one believes me anyway." I crossed my arms. "You want to kill me? Get it over with. You're wasting my time."It was a bluff, of course. I could escape if I wanted to. I was a damn Lycan wolf with strength equal to an Alpha. One element of surprise, and I could outrun them all."Gladly." Sofia's smile was razor-sharp. "William."William stared at her, then rubbed the back of his neck. "Hold on. Something about this doesn't add up." His piercing blue eyes found mine. "Maybe we shouldn't rush into anything."Relief flickered through me. At least someone was thinking straight.Chanelle's eyes narrowed. "She's been lying this whole time. We can

I should have been happy Nicholas was finally giving me a chance to explain myself. But the wounded, angry part of me wouldn't let me. He had hurt me, intentionally or not; he had torn my heart out and tossed it aside like trash. For that, my wolf wanted to lash out."Oh. You want to hear my side now?" The bitter words spilled out before I could stop them. "What, is your fake mate not going to stop you?"A growl rumbled through Nicholas's chest, reverberating off the cell walls. His displeasure was obvious, but right now, I didn't care."Sofia is my mate." Each word came out harshly. "And you will not speak ill of her in my presence."His eyes flashed crimson. The lycan flower’s power surges through him.I should have been understanding. Instead, I was furious. Yes, he was being manipulated. Yes, he didn't know better. But defending another woman in front of me? The audacity of it made my blood boil."Oh, Nicholas." I let the words out through clenched teeth. "Stop lying to yourself.
