Lahat ng Kabanata ng Bite, Bleed, Bow (MxM): Kabanata 151 - Kabanata 160

Kieran waits in the mess of the living room, dozing off on the couch till the morning sun breaks through the window and the front door finally opens. He blinks at the ceiling, unmoving and unfeeling for a moment. He doesn’t even have the strength to rise to his feet, and then he hears the sound of his name.“Kieran,”The alpha slowly turns his head, finding Seth standing in front of him, staring at him worriedly; he immediately squats to his level. “What are you doing here?”Kieran’s lips part, but no sound comes out. His throat feels raw, his body so heavy it might as well be pinned to the couch by unseen chains. He stares at Seth, unblinking, his eyes bloodshot and hollow. Instead of forcing himself to speak, he lets a lazy smile stretch on his lips and pushes himself off the couch to his feet, the hoodie falling from his face.“I waited the whole night, Seth. Where are you coming from?” Kieran tries to hide the weakness in his body but Seth stares at him like he can see through him

The morning air feels heavy at the training ground. Kieran arrives with his head held high, even though his body feels weak, his head is hidden behind a hoodie, and his hands are shoved into his pockets. The field is filled with warriors, sparring and running drills, but the moment he is sensed, everything seems to quiet down and one by one, their heads turn. Kieran slows his steps when he notices their stares. Their eyes on him are sharp and cutting, like he has committed the most hideous crime. He clenches his jaw and ignores it, dismissing it as nothing as he walks to the center of the field. “Form up,” he orders, his voice cutting loud through the ground, but nobody moves. He raises his head, his green eyes scanning them. “Did you not hear me? Form up.” His tone carries his Alpha command, but still, not a single warrior moves. They share glances at each other while their lips twitch with something close to mockery and disgust. What’s going on? Kieran feels something cold sit in

Kieran lets out a sigh as he kills the engine of the truck at the front of the Omega’s mansion. His hand grips the steering wheel tightly, his jaw is stiff, his head is pounding, and again, his body feels heavier, even more than usual, and it doesn’t help that he knows eyes are following him everywhere he goes. The whispers are like needles in his skin, but still, he has to perform his duties as an alpha.He sits still in the car for a moment, staring at the crates of supplies loaded at the back through the window. He can do this. He tells himself and then takes a deep breath. He forces himself out of the car and begins to unload them. His muscles strain, and every small effort makes his chest burn, but he doesn’t stop; he doesn’t want anyone to see his weakness.When he heads to the entrance, a few of the omegas are standing there, their arms crossed over their chests, and their eyes on him are sharp. He can feel the weight of their stares piercing through his face. He doesn’t get to

Kieran sits curled up at the edge of his bed, his knees pulled tightly to his chest with his arms wrapped around them and his chin resting on top. His blond hair falls over his eyes, and he stares at the floor with a blank and empty look while surrounded by the darkness of the room that has the curtain blocking out the sun from peeking in. The room is quiet except for his slow and uneven breaths. He doesn’t know how long he has stayed in that position without moving a muscle, but it feels like eternity. Everything is just overwhelming as it all plays in his head; every single word directed at him rings in his head like a never-ending bell. And everything hurts.Even when the sound of the door opening breaks through his comforting silence, he doesn’t move or lift his head; his eyes remain fixed on the floor. Heavy footsteps approach, and the scent of Alpha instantly spreads quickly in the room, announcing Alpha Dogon's presence. He shuts the door behind him and comes to stand in front

Cassian doesn't hesitate as he knocks on Lena’s door. His jaw is clenched, and his eyes are hard as he waits for the door to open. He takes a step back when he hears movement from the inside, and when it opens, Lena stands there with her arms folded across her chest, her eyes rolling immediately at the sight of him.“What a rare sight to see the Beta of Ashbourne standing at my porch; I must have committed a good deed in my past life,” sarcasm drips from her tone before her gaze hardens, and she asks flatly and with a tilt of her head. “What do you want?”“May I come in?”Lena snorts. “I don’t think so.”Cassian stares at her for a lingering moment, and in the next moment, he’s slipping into the house effortlessly. She hisses loudly in annoyance and turns to face him, standing at the center of the living room. She looks at him with a glare and proceeds to cross her arms over her chest after shutting the door.“Now that you’ve invited yourself in, what the fuck do you want, Cassian? I
