I Stopped Waiting for the Alpha의 모든 챕터: 챕터 11 - 챕터 16

'B-Blackwater.'Adrian stopped moving.His wolf slammed violently against the walls of his consciousness and released a roar that bordered on madness."What? It's not you?"The Alpha beside him blurted out the words before he could stop himself.Another werewolf's face drained of color."Wait a second. Blackwater? So BW stands for Blackwater Pack?"The group exchanged stunned looks. At last, they realized the truth. The color slowly disappeared from every one of their faces.But Adrian heard none of it.His gaze remained locked on me.I stood quietly with my hand resting around another Alpha's arm. There was a smile on my face that he had never seen before.'No. This is impossible. She's my fated mate.'Adrian shoved the werewolf usher aside and charged toward the altar without a second thought."Adrian!"Someone moved even faster than he did and blocked his path.It was Freya.She had on the Silvercrest Pack's healer's robe.

We have nothing else to tell you."Standing outside the dark forest, Adrian looked toward the territory hidden behind its protecti

"Can we talk privately?" Adrian's voice was hoarse. "Just five minutes will do."After a brief silence, I nodded.The staff accompanying me withdrew to a respectful distance, leaving the two of us alone on the terrace.The evening breeze lifted the loose strands of hair near my ear. I looked more composed and more at peace than I ever had in his memories.Adrian looked at me and swallowed hard."Emily has already left Blackwood Pack. I investigated the rumors and the provocations afterward."I didn't notice them before, and I didn't handle them properly. But believe me, there was never anything between us. I never loved her.

I also believe there was never anything between the two of you. At least not physically."But that isn't what mattered."He froze.Looking into the distance, I spoke softly
