Semua Bab The Alpha's Private Library: Bab 121 - Bab 130

We left Lucas’s apartment without speaking, the two figurines cold and silent inside my bag. Neither of us wanted to look at them again.Once we reached the sidewalk, Lucas finally said what we were both thinking. “We’re not doing it.”“No,” I agreed. “We’re not.”We went our separate ways that night, but by Saturday morning, I was back at Lucas’s apartment with my goblin tucked inside my bag. If we were going to refuse their demand, we needed to find another way out before Monday.We spent most of Saturday trying everything we could think of. Lucas started with a hammer, placing his figurine on the kitchen counter and hitting her hard enough that I expected pieces of stone to fly across the room. She didn’t even chip.When brute force failed, we drove to the river and threw both goblins into the water. We watched them disappear beneath the surface before heading back to Lucas’s apartment, only to find them sitting side by side on his living room table when we returned.After that, we

If I had known my cunt would put both Alpha Kandor and me on the executioner’s block, I would have refused to become his travelling maid the moment they chose me.One week earlier.By the third day of our journey, we were two days away from the Temple of Selene, where Alpha Kandor was expected to receive the Moon Goddess’s blessing before returning to Avalor for his mating ceremony.I was never supposed to matter.I was only the maid chosen to accompany him.Beta Jacob rode beside Alpha Kandor while I followed several paces behind them with our supplies strapped to my horse. My duties were simple. I prepared Alpha Kandor’s clothes, served his meals, tended whatever he needed during the journey and remembered my place.Especially around him.In Avalor, an Omega could serve an Alpha, bow to an Alpha and obey an Alpha, but she could never lie with one.Omegas were the weakest wolves in the pack. At least, that was what we had been taught from childhood. Our blood was considered inferior,

I wanted to protest. I wanted to tell Alpha Kandor that I didn’t want Beta Jacob, that after everything that had happened during the night, he was the male my thoughts kept returning to. But admitting that would mean confessing something far more dangerous than my heat.So I kept my mouth shut.Alpha Kandor was my pack leader, and he had chosen the only solution that wouldn't put either of us at risk under Avalor’s laws. I knew better than to challenge his decision simply because it wasn’t the one I wanted.I lowered my eyes. “Yes, Alpha.”My hands shook as I smoothed my shift and tried to make myself presentable. I fixed my hair and concentrated on slowing my breathing, determined to face Beta Jacob without revealing how badly I wished Alpha Kandor had chosen differently.Another cramp tightened low in my belly before I could finish.Whatever I wanted no longer mattered as much as the pain.I needed relief.A knock came at the door not long after.Alpha Kandor opened it, and Beta Jac

Alpha Kandor’s POVBeta Jacob’s words only confirmed what I had spent the past day refusing to acknowledge.You think I don’t know?I had smelled Fiona’s heat the moment the impossible full moon rose. I had endured it on the road, across the campfire and inside this room, fighting my wolf every time her scent reached me. Last night had nearly destroyed what remained of my control. I had stood only a few feet from her while she lay beneath that blanket, knowing exactly what her body needed and knowing I could never be the male who gave it to her.Then I had touched her anyway.Even now, I could remember the softness of her skin beneath my hand and the way her body had responded while she pretended to sleep.I forced the memory away and looked at my Beta.“Her heat is calling to every unmated male within range. Do not mistake instinct for something more,” I clarified.Fiona watched me from the bed with the sheet clutched against her chest, her scent growing stronger around us. I tried t

Fiona’s POVYour scent changed too.Beta Jacob’s words remained lodged in my mind.I was still pressed against Alpha Kandor’s chest with his arm wrapped firmly around my waist. The pain that had nearly thrown me from the saddle had eased as soon as he caught me, leaving me weak against him.Beta Jacob’s gaze remained on his Alpha. “Your scent is different. There’s a claiming note beneath it now. Your wolf is responding to hers.”Alpha Kandor’s body tensed against mine, and his arm tightened around my waist.“That is impossible,” he said.“With all due respect, I know what I smell, Alpha,” Beta Jacob replied.“She is my maid,” Alpha Kandor said, his voice hardening. “I am travelling to the Temple of Selene to receive the Moon Goddess’s blessing for my mating. Whatever you think you detected changes nothing.”His arm began to loosen around my waist, and I felt him deliberately put space between our bodies.Pain struck almost immediately.A sharp cry tore from my throat as the cramps ret
