All Chapters of MY FATHER'S DRIVER IS MY ALPHAMATE : Chapter 81 - Chapter 86

I did not follow Alexander immediately.For several seconds, I stood beneath Moonfang's cold moonlight, watching his silhouette disappear beyond the stone archway.The letter was still in his hand.And somehow, that small piece of paper felt heavier than everything I had carried into this place.My fingers tightened around the bracelet on my wrist.The black crescent beneath the silver surface seemed darker than before.He is hiding something.I hated the whisper.Not because it frightened me.Because some part of me was afraid it might be telling the truth.I found Alexander in the old courtyard behind the eastern tower.He was standing beside a dry fountain, his back toward me.For a moment, I simply watched him.His shoulders were tense.His injured side was still slightly stiff from the attack in the forest, though he tried to hide it whenever I looked.That was Alexander.He could stand in front of an army without blinking.But when he was afraid for me, he became quieter.I step

The door disappeared, but the feeling it left behind did not.For the rest of the morning, I could feel that ancient heartbeat beneath Moonfang.Slow.Patient.Waiting.I tried to ignore it.I failed.By midday, Alexander found me sitting alone on the balcony outside the old library.I was staring at the mountains.“You've been here for an hour,” he said.I didn't turn around.“How do you know?”“I've been looking for you for forty minutes.”I smiled faintly.“So you were counting?”“I was worried.”I finally looked at him.He was standing in the doorway with two cups in his hands.“You brought tea.”“Peace offering.”“For what?”“For disappearing earlier.”I accepted the cup.“You apologized yesterday.”“I know.”“And today?”“Today I'm practicing.”I laughed softly.He sat beside me.For a while, neither of us spoke.The wind moved through my hair.Alexander reached over and gently tucked a strand behind my ear.“You're thinking about the door.”“Yes.”“About the voice?”“Yes.”“Abo

For several seconds, neither Alexander nor I moved.The footprints remained on the stone floor.Three muddy impressions.Then another.Then another.They stopped directly behind me.I could feel Alexander's hand close around mine.“Don't turn around quickly,” he whispered.My heart hammered.“Why?”“Because if someone wants you frightened, they may be waiting for exactly that.”I swallowed.The room suddenly felt too small.I slowly turned.Nothing.Only the empty corridor beyond the doorway.The candle beside the bed flickered.“There's no one there,” I whispered.Alexander stepped past me.His eyes moved across every shadow.“Lucien!”His voice echoed through the corridor.Footsteps answered from the far end.Lucien appeared moments later with two guards behind him.“What happened?”Alexander pointed toward the floor.Lucien stared.His expression changed.“I saw those.”“Where?”“Outside the northern wall.”My stomach tightened.“The same footprints?”Lucien nodded.“But they stopp
