Alpha Tarian and The Crazy Bride Of May Town의 모든 챕터: 챕터 61 - 챕터 70

KELVIN POV"Pour me another glass of bourbon, Taylor, and stop looking at me like I just kicked a stray dog," I ordered, leaning back into the plush leather booth of the Voltage Underground VIP lounge.Taylor sighed heavily, swirling the liquid in his own glass before shoving the crystal decanter across the sticky table. He shifted uncomfortably as a young, intoxicated omega slipped into his lap, giggling softly as she fed him a stray handful of sweet berries straight from a bowl in front of us."I'm not looking at you like anything, Kelvin, other than a man who is walking headfirst into a meat grinder," Taylor muttered, brushing the omega's hand away with a polite, half-hearted dismissal. "Just leave the matter alone. Look around you. There are entirely too many beautiful, willing women in this club who actually want your attention. Why are you obsessing over Tarian's wife?""Because she humiliated me," I hissed, my grip tightening around my glass until my knuckles turned white. "She

LIVIA POV"Careful with the seasoning, Alpha, or you're going to turn my beef sauce into a chemical disaster," I teased, keeping my eyes focused on the simmering pan of diced peppers and tender beef chunks on the kitchen stove.Then I felt his strong, familiar arms wrapped around my waist from behind, pulling me to his hard, muscular chest. A warm, lingering kiss pressed softly against the sensitive skin of my cheek and the nape of my neck."I have complete faith in my wife's culinary genius but she does not trust mine," Tarian murmured, his deep voice vibrating against my spine. He rested his chin comfortably on my shoulder, peering down at the steaming pan. "What exactly are we making tonight?""Spicy beef sauce with garlic-herb rice," I replied, leaning back into his embrace for just a brief, stolen second before gently tapping his wrist. "And no, you cannot help. Last time you touched a spatula in this kitchen, a fire alarm was triggered across three wings."Tarian chuckled, a ric

LIVIA POV"Stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid!"The sharp, stinging slaps sounded off the walls of bedroom as my hands flew across my own face again and again. I couldn't stop. The physical pain was the only thing grounding me, the only way to silence the deafening roar of absolute self-loathing inside my head.Every breath felt like inhaling shards of broken glass. I had built a house of cards out of lies, and now the entire structure had collapsed, burying both of us in the wreckage.With shaking hands, I zipped up my leather travel case, hoisted it off the bed, and dragged it out into the quiet hallway.Tarian was standing right there.He was pacing back and forth near the archway, his broad shoulders tense, his hands clenched into tight fists at his sides. The moment he heard the wheels of my suitcase click against the floor, he stopped and whipped around."Tarian, please," I choked out, my voice breaking as I rushed toward him. "You have to listen to me. Every single word I said to y

LIVIA POVMy heart was drumming really fast and I almost feared that it would explode under my ribs.It was actually a lot of things going through my mind.But above all else, it was the need to protect my parents from whatever, Queen Raychel was planning. I knew I couldn't just walk out of these gates and leave my parents at the mercy of Queen Mother Raychel's legal threats and hidden agendas.I was mentally done trying to satisfy her ego, especially after hearing her involvement with Moriah’s death. I just wanted to get my parents to safety and then plan for her downfall.I turned my head slightly, catching Amelia's tear-swollen eyes across the room. I gave her a subtle, pointed look. "Did you do what I asked?"Amelia swallowed hard and gave a firm, imperceptible nod."I am leaving," I announced, raising my voice slightly as I reached for the handle of my travel case. "We are all leaving. All I can say is I’m sorry for everything""Not so fast, little maid," Queen Mother Raychel's s

LIVYANA POVOctober, 28th.I must have lost my mind, or the desire for redemption was the only way I could close my eyes and sleep peacefully at night. I stood in the grand foyer of the Kai Edward mansion, my heavily pregnant belly pressing tight under my loose traveling dress, my breath coming in ragged, shallow gasps. I was almost due for delivery, every muscle in my body aching, and my mind screamed at me to turn around and run.What am I doing here? I asked myself, panic clawing at my throat. Is this a mistake? Can I actually fix any of this?I had been hiding since I came back to May town for the past two weeks, surviving on scraps of news from tabloids. That was how I learned my parents had suddenly vanished from their old home, and how the explosive headlines broke across the national dailies: The Alpha King's Marriage Over: The Truth About the Impostor Revealed.I knew Livia had been cast out. I knew she was paying the ultimate price for the sacrifice she made to protect me an
