Novel & Cerita Darkling X Alina

She was breathing hard, sweat dripped down her forehead. She sat down next to Talia, picking up her water bottle. "How was I?" "You're really good," Talia said honestly. "I'm impressed." Alina blushed. "Thank you. I had a personal trainer back at the Alpha’s home, part of Luna training.” “Oh.” Talia hummed and nodded. Alina asked after a moment of silence. “What about you?” "Damon trains me," Talia shared. "He's tough but good." Alina's smile faded a little. "You two are close."

▄︻デ══━一 COLTON HAYES💥 Alina had been far too chatty since we dragged her down into the cellar beneath my father’s house—the same cellar where Tate, the twins, and that mangy idiot she sent to break into my home were now locked up too. The space wasn’t much. Cold, dark, and unforgiving—like the consequences of the choices that brought them here. And despite the chain around her ankle and the healing gash across her temple, Alina still carried that arrogant tilt to her chin. Like she hadn’t lost.

Zaff and Dikais were on edge but I couldn’t figure it out until our teacher came by and whispered something in my mate’s ear which made her growl softly; when I looked at her eyes, her eyes were completely black- Alina is in control. ⁑"Alina, why are you in control?", I ask.⁑ ⁑"No!", she growls back.⁑ ⁑"What do you mean no?", I ask causational.⁑ ⁑"This teacher has sexually harassed us along with making sexual comments to us about us.", she snaps.⁑

He questioned her with utter shock. Xavier and Alina were best friends in college. They were both partners in crime. After her studies, Alina flew abroad to pursue her dreams, while Xavier stayed back to build his own empire. They both were in contact with each other for a few years, but later they both became busy with their respective lives and busy schedules. Still, they keep in touch with each other through social media and emails. If Alina was back in the country, she would call him first, asking him to pick her up from the airport, and she would glue herself to him like a fevicol, but when she said she landed back two days ago, it surprised him.

She raised her eyes to me, staring directly into my soul. After a minute I quickly silenced the room. I cleared my throat and asked for them to relay their findings to the group. Arkin, the alpha heir and leader of the Elite 8, stepped forward and spoke about what they had seen, what they had learned from interrogation and what they suspected. After he finished speaking Stormie stepped forward and nudged him. When he turned to face her she signed something with her hands and then Arkin signed back. I watched as they argued back and forth for a minute, garnering the attention of the room until Alpha Adam stood up and told her enough. She huffed and growled at him before signing something an

I shook my head. “Whatever is said here, they will find out anyway. So, say whatever it is you came here to say.” Anger flashed in her eyes as she straightened her back. “Fine….I, Alison Newman, daughter to Alpha Blake Stone of The Midnight Moon pack, reject you, Alpha Adam Turner of The Dark Shadow Pack as my mate.” Gritting my teeth against the intense pain her rejection caused, I forced myself to keep my eyes on her. Though behind me, I could hear my pack members moving in closer to me.

“Okay… communication is a two-way street, Alpha. Talking and listening. You tried the first part, maybe now’s a good time to try the second—no offense.” “None taken,” Diego muttered, though the words felt heavier than they should have. He hated how Alessandro always managed to get under his skin, but maybe he wasn’t entirely wrong. Listening… he hadn’t done much of that. Just then, the first rays of sunlight broke over the horizon, painting the sky in shades of soft gold and pink. As the light spilled across the snow, warming the earth ever so slightly, another sound pierced the stillness—Erika’s voice, carrying across the crisp morning air.

Chris stared at her in confusion, his hands feeling empty, "who's that?" Alina's daze shattered away in clarity, "What?" "The name you just said." Staring at him like he just grew another head and had announced he was secretly a demon overlord, Alina said slowly, "I didn't say a name." Now Chris was staring at her like she was insane, "yes you did, you said Claec! Who even is that?" Alina's gaze faltered, and she looked to the side, shoving the gift in her pocket. "I have no idea."

*** DREAM *** Alina screamed, but no sound came out. She was standing in the middle of a vast, endless darkness. The ground beneath her feet was cold stone, slick with a wet substance. When she looked down, her breath hitched. Blood. It spread endlessly in every direction. “Liam…” she whispered, but her voice echoed back to her, twisted and broken. The darkness shifted. Shadows moved. Figures emerged from the dark, faceless, tall, their eyes glowing red. They surrounded her slowly, circling like predators.

It seemed unreal, like the Joker or the clown from IT was sitting across from me. “We’ll kill him,” he said in a low rumbling tone that seemed to come from somewhere else, someone else. It seemed to shake the entire room. My eyes widened. Our Dark Alpha is rising, Xavier commented. I was too stunned to say anything back, I just glanced at Nick who furrowed his brows, looking at Jake with a question he didn't dare voice aloud. Kyle~ “Kyle, you didn’t add anything to the grocery list - would you like to?” Ally’s mom asked me, peering out from the kitchen.
