All Chapters of ALPHA'S LAST WEAKNESS: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The words refused to leave Lena's mind.Someone who knew exactly where she was.She stood motionless, staring at the message on her phone. Outside the window, the streets of Blackthorn City were unusually quiet. The distant glow of streetlights barely illuminated the thick darkness beyond the estate walls.Her fingers tightened around the device.Whoever had sent the message knew her location. More importantly, they knew enough about her movements to find her even under Xavier Volkov's protection.That thought unsettled her more than she wanted to admit.A knock sounded against the bedroom door."Lena?"Xavier.She quickly locked her phone."Come in."The door opened, revealing the Alpha dressed in a black shirt with its sleeves rolled to his elbows. His expression was unreadable, but his eyes immediately settled on her face."Something happened."It wasn't a question.Lena hesitated."How do you always know when something is wrong?""Because you become unusually quiet when you're fri

Lena couldn't take her eyes off the photograph.Her mother stood beside the mysterious woman wearing the silver wolf pendant. They looked younger, happier, and completely unaware of the darkness that would eventually surround their lives.But it wasn't the photograph that frightened Lena most.It was the date written on the back.Three days before Daniel Voss died."Margaret," Lena whispered, turning towards the older woman. "Why was my mother with her?"Margaret hesitated.For a moment, the only sound in the room was the ticking of the old wall clock."Because they were friends," she finally answered."Friends?" Lena repeated. "You said my father was murdered. You said my mother wasn't supposed to survive that night. And now you're telling me she was friends with a woman connected to the Volkov family?""There's more to the story than you understand.""Then explain it!"Margaret looked towards Xavier.He stood near the doorway, his expression unreadable."Perhaps you should tell her,

The journey to the abandoned Volkov residence began before sunrise.Lena sat quietly in the passenger seat while Xavier drove through the winding road leading away from the estate.She hadn't slept.The revelation about her mother had left her with too many questions, and the message Xavier had received about his own mother made everything even more confusing.After several minutes, she finally spoke."Why didn't you tell me your mother was alive?"Xavier kept his eyes on the road."Because she isn't.""Then how could someone send you that message?""That's what we're going to discover."Lena turned towards the window."Do you think Adrian knows something?""Adrian knows more than he's telling us.""Then why bring him here?""Because sometimes the best way to catch a liar is to let him believe you trust him."She looked at him."Do you ever trust anyone?"Xavier gave a humourless smile."Trust is expensive in my world.""And what about love?"His fingers tightened slightly around the

The return journey to the Volkov estate was unusually silent.Xavier drove while Lena held the wooden wolf in her lap.The message from Adrian continued to trouble her.The first heir remembers her.How could someone she had never met remember her?And why had her father hidden so much from her?When they arrived, Viktor was waiting at the entrance."Alpha."Xavier stepped out."Tell me everything.""Adrian's vehicle was found abandoned beyond the northern boundary. We discovered no evidence of where he went afterward.""Any witnesses?""One of the guards saw a motorcycle leaving shortly before midnight."Xavier's expression darkened."Find out who owns it."Viktor nodded.Lena stepped out of the vehicle."Has anyone heard from Margaret?"Viktor looked at Xavier before answering."She's upstairs. She asked to speak with you."Lena immediately headed inside.---Margaret was sitting in the sitting room, holding a cup of tea.When Lena entered, she stood."You found something."It wasn'

Xavier didn't sleep that night.He remained in his study, surrounded by documents recovered from his father's abandoned residence.Lena entered shortly after midnight."You're still awake."He looked up."So are you."She approached the desk."Do you believe Rowan?""I believe he knows something.""That's not the same thing.""No."Lena studied him."You're thinking about what he said."Xavier leaned back."My father raised me to believe loyalty was everything. He taught me that a leader protected his family, even when the rest of the world turned against him.""And now?""Now I'm wondering whether he was protecting us or controlling us."Lena sat opposite him."People can make terrible decisions and still believe they're doing the right thing."Xavier looked at her."Is that what you believe about your father?""I don't know anymore."For a moment, neither spoke.Then Xavier opened a drawer and removed an old envelope."I found this among his personal documents."Lena accepted it.He
