Lahat ng Kabanata ng Possessed By Him: The Alpha's Trophy: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

Chapter 22Lilith’s POVI sniffed the flowers once again in my hands."Oh my God these are so beautiful. You still know how I love my flowers?" Jax said nothing but his smile suddenly vanished from his perfectly crafted face.I stood in the center of my childhood courtyard, but it wasn't destroyed. The high stone arches of the Blood River estate were still intact, glowing with the warm, golden sun casting its glow on it."Look at you," a voice echoed; not the same dying rasp or a bloody scream, but a smooth, cold chuckle that I recognized the same way I recogniz my own very voice. "Is attention the only thing I trained you for?"I turned slowly.My father stood by the central fountain, dressed in his regal Alpha tunics, untarnished and whole. There was no blood on his chest, no ash on his face. He looked strong, composed, and completely untouched by war. He was casually twirling a silver signet ring on his finger, looking at me with a lazy, mocking smirk."Father..." I rasped, my thro

Chapter 24Lilith's POVI frozen at the spot.The weight of his Alpha command slammed into my chest, heavy, suffocating and the pressure pulling at every natural instinct built into my wolf's core. My father’s hand stayed outstretched in the rain, steady and unrelenting, waiting for me to make the impossible choice."Lilith," Cassian’s growl was low and raw, giving a warning that was not directed at me, but at the male standing at the tree line. Without his head, Cassian shifted his stance slightly, his massive frame lockinb between me and the rider, ready to tear through anyone who took step forward. "Do not move.""Listen to your Alpha, daughter," my father taunted, his amber eyes glinting with a cold, manipulative triumph. "Look how easily he commands you. Look how quickly you obey the male who laid waste to our territory. Is that what I raised? A captive who loves her leash?""Shut your mouth!" I screamed, the words tearing raw from my throat.Tears melted into the freezing rain

Chapter 26Cassian’s POV"The black veins are spreading faster," Brandon said quietly, closing the heavy oak door behind him as he stepped out onto the dimly lit balcony. "The healers are doing what they can with lunar-root poultices, but it’s only slowing the frost down, Alpha. It’s not stopping it."I didn't turn around. I kept my hands planted flat on the stone balustrade, my knuckles white, staring out into the foggy, rain-soaked courtyard below. The scent of pine and wet iron filled the night air, but all I could smell was the faint, scent of Lilith’s blood lingering on my clothes."It won't stop until he's dead," I growled, my voice dropping into a dangerous, gravelly rasp.Brandon stepped up beside me, leaning against the cold stone, his expression lined with deep fatigue. "You should have killed him six months ago, Cassian. When we breached the Blood River sanctum.""I thought he was dead!" I snapped, my eyes flashing pitch-black in the moonlight as a wave of dark Alpha aura r

Chapter 28Cassian’s POVThe heavy bang on the oak door felt like a physical blow, severing the scorching pull of our bond in a single, brutal second.I pulled my lips back from Lilith's with a dark, ragged growl tearing out of my throat. My breathing was fast and shallow, my whole body vibrating with a violent mix of unsheathed lust and sudden, ruthless adrenaline.Beside me, Lilith leaned back against the headboard, her cheeks flushed a violent red, her chest heaving as she sucked in her breathing, golden light of our mate bond was still humming beneath her skin, the pitch-black veins on her neck temporarily suppressed, dormant under the sheer heat of what we shared."Say that again," I barked toward the door, my voice a dangerous, gravelly rasp that shook the quiet of the room.The heavy hinges groaned as Lucien pushed the door open just enough to step into the threshold, his face pale, sweat and rainwater glistening on his forehead."The southern beacons are burning, Alpha," Lucie

Chapter 30Lilith’s POVThe sheer, suffocating weight of Cassian’s Alpha aura crashed over the stone courtyard, freezing the blood in my veins.Before I could even process my thoughts into words, Lucien was nowhere in sight. He had dissolved into the rain-soaked shadows as if he were never there, leaving no trace behind for Cassian to tear apart. I shrank back against the cold stone, my chest heaving as the residual dominance in the air threatened to crush the lungs in my chest.Cassian’s heavy boots hit the wet gravel in deliberate, lethal strides. His broadsword was still drawn, the steel gleaming dark and wet in the dim torchlight, his silver eyes completely overtaken by the pitch-black rage of his wolf. The air grew so dense with his aura that the nearby guards backed away into the deepest shadows, unable to breathe under the pressure."Are you hurt?" Cassian asked, his voice laced with the craziest, most violent sensation wrapped tightly beneath his control."I'm fine, Cassian,"
