บททั้งหมดของ In Debt To The Ruthless Alpha: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

 CLARK The breakfast ended with a painful awkwardness. Cadmus had been throwing a glance in my direction, yet he didn't utter a single word. The table remained quiet up until Cadmus excused himself and left. Once he's gone, the women whom I'm sharing a table with didn't bother to hide their displeasure upon my arrival. They were all staring at me with raised eyebrows. It was as if my presence wasn't welcomed here. "This is the first time Alpha Cadmus brought home a woman who didn't come from any allied packs," said the woman who was sitting beside me. "What's worse is, she brought home a mere human," followed by the woman beside her.

CLARKI didn’t notice the time because I was so distracted taking care of my father. It was already evening by the time we returned to Cadmus’ mansion. The gate automatically opened as we arrived at the front. Lily and I entered through the kitchen that connected to the garage.As soon as we entered, Lily excused herself to go to her room and rest. “I’m going to my room,” she said.I simply nodded in response. I also went upstairs and headed towards my room. Just as I reached the second floor of the house, I couldn't help but stare at Cadmus' closed door. I saw his car in the garage, so I'm sure he's home. I noticed that the light in his room was off."He's probab

CLARKMy scream fell deaf into their ears. I pounded on the door until my fists ached, my voice cracking from shouting. I knew there were guards stationed outside—two, maybe three—but not one of them bothered to answer. Their silence was louder than any threat. I lost track of time. How long have I been pounding on that door, two or three hours maybe?“He can’t just lock me up here, can he? ”I whispered to myself, my voice trembling with disbelief.Then I scoffed bitterly. “Of course, he can.”Who was I kidding? This was his house, his territory, and his rules. No one here would dare go against the most powerful Alpha in existence. Even the walls seeme

CLARKI could feel my cheeks burn as we walked out of the lingerie shop. I still couldn't believe that he made me cvm in a public place like this. I keep on lowering my head whenever I meet someone else's eyes. I was afraid that they might guess what actually happened inside."Let's eat," he said, breaking the agonizing silence. I couldn't help but notice his hand clasped to mine.“I—I’m good. I’m a little bit worn out from all that shopping. I’d like to rest,” I answered, trying to sound composed even though my pulse was still racing from everything that had happened earlier.He chuckled softly, that deep sound rumbling from his chest like a dangerous purr.

CLARKLast night was supposed to be the night Cadmus would come back, but he didn't. Somehow, I couldn't help but laugh as I imagined Jenna's face when she find out that Alpha Cadmus didn't come home last night.The house felt impossibly quiet in the hours that stretched on, each creak of the floorboard only reminding me of his absence.It mattered enough that when morning came, I opened my eyes and felt nothing but an empty ache spreading through my chest. A hollow space where the warmth from the night before should have been.I lay there for a long moment, staring at the ceiling, trying to make sense of why a man who wasn't mine could make me feel empty.I blew a loud sigh before I glanced at the clock on the small table next to the bed—it was only six in the morning. My eyes then fell on the cluster of paper bags in the corner of the room.I took a quick shower to start my day. When I finished, I immediately went out and grabbed the shopping bags from last time. I went through them
