All Chapters of Alpha Adrain: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Alpha Adrian POVIt was social week, and I was glad I had a complete week free to oversee various activities in my pack.I started at the pack market, personally selecting heavy-duty gymnasium equipment. Hours later, I stood in the newly renovated training hall, arms crossed, watching the labourers sweat as they positioned the last weight racks and punching bags with precise grunts.A low growl of satisfaction rumbled in my chest. The men’s temple , our warriors’ sanctuary was finally becoming what it should have always been. My father had turned a blind eye to its decay for years. While he ignored the problem, our strongest wolves had been defecting to the Cipher Pack, lured by Jack’s state-of-the-art facilities. That bastard had been clever, using his small pack’s only strength to grow stronger at our expense.I had warned my father repeatedly. He offered nothing but deaf ears and empty promises.“It’s done, Alpha,” the head labourer said, wiping his brow.I gave a sharp nod and

Roxellena’s POV“Come in,” a familiar voice called as I knocked on the cracked wooden door.I stepped inside hesitantly. The old woman sat in a worn grandfather chair, her eyes lighting up the moment she saw me.“Look who is here,” she said softly, gesturing for me to sit on the chair opposite her. “You’ve grown so big… so beautiful.”Her voice cracked. Tears welled up in her eyes and spilled down her wrinkled cheeks before she could stop them.“What is it, Madame?” I asked, . “Did something happen?”She shook her head and wiped her face with a faded handkerchief. “Nothing really. Just… memories.”For a moment, silence settled between us. Then she pointed toward the side of the room. “The box on that carton…bring it to me, please.”I fetched the dusty box and held it out to her, but she gently pushed it back toward me.“It’s yours, child.”“Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have somewhere to go.” She stood up slowly, leaning on her walking stick, and headed outside. I followed closely behin

Roxellena’s POVWhen I returned to the pack, the sight stopped me cold. Dozens of trainees walked the paths completely nakedOnly then did it hit me.It was the full moon.Pain surged into my heart when I realized I had missed the free opportunity to participate in the Moon Run…an activity Lady Gerty had never allowed me to do.Jess’s door was slightly open. I pushed it wider and froze.She was kissing a tall boy with dark hair, her hands tangled in his shirt.I cleared my throat.They broke apart at once. Jess’s face lit up the second she saw me.“Oh goodness, we’ve been looking for you since morning!” She hurried over and pulled me into a quick hug before turning to the boy. “Meet Davis. He’s my fated mate.”Davis offered a polite smile and his hand. “Hello, Roxellena.”I shook it. “Congratulations. You’re going to have very tall children.”Jess snorted. “Genes don’t decide everything.” She linked her arm through mine. “Come on. I need air.”We left Davis behind and walked toward th

Alpha Adrain POV I was the last person to enter the council house.The heavy oak doors closed behind me with a low thud. Every head turned. I walked the length of the hall without hurry, boots striking the stone floor in deliberate rhythm, and claimed the tallest seat at the head of the table. The faces around me were tight with displeasure. I had expected as much. Before I left the mansion I had already decided how this meeting would end.A proper council was meant for eight: seven elders of my pack and me. Today five extra men sat among them…Archie, Liam, Paulo, Jack, and Mike. Outsiders. Guests who had invited themselves.I gestured with my hand, and they all sat down amid low murmuring. I had kept them standing longer than was polite. At first it had not been intentional. Now it was.especially when I saw the looks of displeasure written all over their faces. I exercised my alpha authority over them, including those clowns who thought they were alphas.They dared to join the c

{Alpha Adrian POV}“How is she?” I asked Doctor Chen as she walked past me from the waiting area.“She’s responding to treatment. She’ll be fine,” she said, glancing at the file in her hands.“Can I see her now?”“Of course, Alpha.” She bowed her head and left.I stepped into the room. Roxellena lay still, eyes closed, an oxygen tube fixed beneath her nose. I still couldn’t understand why she had run into that burning building. Most part of the female dormitory was gone reduced to blackened beams and ash. If her friends hadn’t dragged her out in time, she would have been part of the ruin. I ignored Mike’s calls and focused on her.My wolf paced restlessly inside me. “Why did you do it, Roxellena?” I whispered. “Why risk everything?” She stirred, head turning side to side as sweat beaded on her forehead. I placed my hands on her arms to steady her. The shaking slowly stopped. Her eyes still closed, I watched as her chest rose and fell with each breath. That soft, familiar fac
