All Chapters of I Hate You, Alpha... Yet I Crave You. : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Vera The world tilts beneath me, and suddenly I feel so damn dizzy. My knees nearly give out.“My real mother…” My voice comes out small, barely louder than a whisper, so faint I can hardly hear it myself.He doesn’t soften.“What are you talking about? You were never born into the Vale family.”A sharp ringing fills my ears. Loud. Hollow. Like something deep inside me has been struck awake. My heart twists painfully in my chest, squeezing so hard it steals my breath.“You were taken,” he says calmly, like he hasn’t just ripped my whole world apart with a few cold words.My body feels strange, tight, restless, almost trembling like some hidden part of me is fighting to remember what my mind refuses to accept.He steps closer, his eyes fixed on me.“And whatever is inside you, it’s not a curse. It’s awakening. Slowly. You do not belong to the Vale bloodline. You were never meant to survive.”Pain pounds behind my eyes. My head feels like it might split open, and all I want is for him

I can’t explain it.It feels like something has taken over every thought in my head, like pieces I never understood are finally starting to fall into place.But none of it makes sense.Why didn’t I feel the bond before now?Could Vera really be my mate?My second chance mate?“No,” I mutter under my breath, dragging a hand through my hair as I pace across my office.The word feels impossible, yet my wolf refuses to reject it.Instead, he’s restless. Awake. Obsessed.And suddenly every moment with her starts replaying in my head differently.The pull toward her.The way my wolf always reacted around her.The possessiveness I could never explain.Goddess.Was this the reason all along?I stop pacing and stare at the journal sitting on my desk.My mother gave it to me weeks ago, but I never bothered reading it. At the time, it felt like just another one of her secrets.Then Troy showed me the camera footage.And now everything surrounding my mother’s death feels twisted together like a j

The whole courtyard goes damn quiet as I feel the violent energy rolling off the two Alphas. There is nothing calm about it. Alpha Damon doesn’t wait.He launches at Alpha Aiden with a brutal snarl, his fist crashes hard against Aiden’s jaw with enough force to make nearby guards stumble back.Gasps echo around the courtyard. The ground itself feels tense beneath my feet.Everyone parts instantly, forming a wide circle around them as the two Alphas tear into each other without mercy.And goddess—It’s terrifying.Aiden barely reacts to the hit before he grabs Damon by the throat and slams him against the stone pillar beside him so hard cracks split through it.Damon actually laughs.Blood drips from the corner of his mouth as he drives his knee into Aiden’s stomach before shoving him backward. Aiden recovers instantly, his eyes glowing violently as he wipes blood from his lip with terrifying calm.Then he attacks again. Fast, deadly. And with pure rage.His fist collides with Damon’s

The ride back to Alpha Damon’s pack is painfully tense.Nobody says a word, yet the silence inside the car feels heavy enough to choke on. It’s like everyone wants to speak but doesn’t know where to begin.I lean against the window quietly, trying to sort through everything that happens tonight.From the moment I step into the pack and get treated like dirt…To meeting Mia.Then Troy watched me with that strange look on his face.And Alpha Aiden—Goddess.Him pulling me aside to tell me the truth about my mother, calling me his mate, I know it was a mistake, fucking me in the corridor like the world around us doesn’t exist.What the hell was I thinking?I close my eyes briefly, remembering the way he looks at me on the balcony. His eyes are so soft then, almost vulnerable.But after the fight…Everything about him changes again.Still, I’m proud of myself for standing my ground when I speak to him afterward. Normally, I would back down instantly.Something inside me is changing. And ho

She stares at me for what feels like forever, and my chest tightens because I can’t believe I actually let those words slip out. One wrong move and everything we planned could fall apart.“You didn’t fucking deny it, Damon,” she says quietly, but the shock in her voice cuts deeper than yelling ever could.She shakes her head like she’s trying to wake herself up from a nightmare. “There is nothing you can tell me that’ll change my mind. You’re already fucking her, aren’t you? Eating her pussy while I’m here looking stupid.”“Katrina—”“No.” She steps back before I can touch her. “Don’t even start. We’ve been in this shit together from the beginning, and now you want to leave me for her?”My stomach twists hard. The words hit me like a punch to the throat.“We have a son together, Damon,” she says, her eyes wide and glassy. “Or did you suddenly forget that too?”Something is wrong. I can see it in the way she’s breathing too fast, in the way her hands keep trembling at her sides. She lo
