All Chapters of 50 Days To Love: Dying Alpha's Human Little Wife : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Leah's POV.I threw myself against the door of my room, slamming it shut before my trembling legs finally gave out. I slid down the door until I hit the floor, pulling my knees tight to my chest as I gasped for air. My lungs burned inside of me, and my bones ached, my face filled with my sweat. I pressed the heels of my hands into my eyes until I saw stars. Espionage, dungeons, interrogation, are they insane? I’m an ER nurse, I had never committed any crime all my life… yet they keep trying to find me guilty. I only agreed to this medical contract because I needed the money, but do I look like a fool? At least back home I’m respected, okay, maybe just a bit, mostly by the interns but still it’s a hell of a lot better than being treated like a disposable chew toy by a bunch of geriatric, glowing-eyes psychopaths. No amount of zeros on a paycheck was worth this nightmare and one thing was clear, if I stayed here, I was going to die… that old man, Owen, would see to it. I forced myse

Adrain's POV.I paced the corridor outside the royal suite, my wolf was restless, clawing violently at the edges of my mind. Every instinct I possessed was screaming at me to turn around, march back to the guest quarters, kick Leah’s door off its hinges, and claim her. “Mine.” The words were still all I could hear in my mind. The moment the scent of her blood had hit the air in her bedroom, a jagged puzzle in my brain had gone into place. The universe had tied my soul to a fragile, sharp-tongued human who wanted nothing to do with me, my kind, or this kingdom and worse? She was the human mate Lucien needed to survive.I dragged a hand down my face, fighting to shove the beast back beneath my skin. I was the Alpha King’s Beta… My loyalty to Lucien was the very foundation of my life. I stopped pacing and glared at the doors of Lucien’s suite. She had been inside for over an hour. A simple medical check-up shouldn’t take this long. Naturally, I hadn't mentioned her desperate escape atte

Leah's POVA loud beep from the heart monitor woke me up, dragging me straight out of the dark nightmare that kept repaying in my head.I felt fire in my chest, it felt like as though a stone was resting on my ribs and every breath felt burned so much I could choke… even my mouth was completely dry. “Where am I?” I tried to open my eyes and speak but my body failed me. The feeling of old liquid flowing into my left arm came through. “Thank God i'm in a clinic. I'm alive.”I kept my eyes closed for a moment to calm down. At that point I was sure that someone had locked that door from the outside… a shiver ran down my back at the thought. I was just a human that's trapped in a world of monsters who wouldn't let me leave… how was I supposed to survive here?I tried to move, but I couldn't move my right hand. Something was tying it down. I forced my eyes open. The binding lights hurt, making me blink. I turned my head slowly, feeling the stiffness in my neck.Adrian was sitting right nex

Lucien's POVI stood by the grand window in my study, staring out into the dark forest. The trees were waving to the strong wind, but nothing outside could quiet the noise in my head. I had walked away from her room hours ago, yet I could not sit still. My hands clenched as I kept pacing.It made no sense... She was just a human, a tool meant to fix the poison in my veins and nothing more but every time I closed my eyes, I saw the way her shoulders slumped in that cold infirmary bed and the sadness in her face even though she tries to act otherwise I feel something… I didn't know what.An unhappy cure was an unpredictable cure… That was probably the reason. I needed her body and mind stable for the ritual. If she's weak then her blood might sour, and the magic required to save my life could fail… It was the only simple logic. It had to be.A knock broke the silence, interpreting my thoughts."Enter," I commanded.One of my head guards stepped into the room, bowing his head almost imme

Leah POV.Adrian didn't smile at my answer, making me blink at his facial expression which grew even more serious. He took a small step back, his eyes locking onto mine again with an intense look this time."You shouldn't," Adrian said, his voice almost as low as a whisper. "You shouldn't trust us so easily, Leah. Not everyone here has good intentions, not even us."“Hehe, you can't be serious.” I stared at him for a second, catching my breath before a dry laugh escaped my lips. I mean, I couldn't help it. The drama of this place was getting to be too much. "Wow," I said, shaking my head as I looked between him and the empty doorway. "It really seems like that fire didn't just injure my body, it completely broke both of your brains. One of you sits in my room all night playing the mysterious silent bodyguard,” I gestured with my hand as I continued, ‘“and the other is standing here and telling me not to trust the only two people keeping me alive. You guys are unbelievable." I expected
