Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Demon Alpha’s Kryptonite: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

SOLANA Alpha Roman's expression didn't change. Mine did. Because, suddenly, it hit me that I'd seen this man before. I knew that voice. He took a step forward, his boots echoing against the marble. "Tell me, Alpha Roman," he began, his tone mocking, "what made you take a lowly maid as your Luna?" A ripple of discomfort swept through the room. Someone gasped softly. Someone else snickered. My lungs constricted. But he wasn't done. "Surely," he continued, "you knew she'd been defiled by other men before you, didn't you? Or perhaps that's what you liked about her. She's used goods, easy to break." The words landed like knives against my skin. Blood rushed in my ears. I couldn't breathe. For a split second, everything around me vanished, and I was back in the Red Grove pack. Back in that dark room that reeked of smoke and sweat. Elric's laughter echoed in my skull. "She doesn't mind, do you, pet? Let them have a taste." And him... the man standing before me now... He'd been

SOLANA There was smoke everywhere, screams filling the air. My priority was keeping the little ones safe.Fear had me in its clutches, but I couldn't afford to give in.I threw myself over the cowering children, my arms spread wide as another explosion rattled the walls. Dust rained down, mixing with the scent of blood and burnt wood. "Stay behind me!" I shouted, my throat raw. "Don't move!"I could barely breathe, my eyes darting across the burning hall. The attackers were everywhere. They were moving too fast. Nigel and the warriors were fighting back, but there were too many of them.A loud shriek pierced the air, and my heart sank.Before I could turn, one of the children was ripped from my grasp. My heart stopped. I spun, catching a glimpse of a masked rogue disappearing into the smoke with the child dangling from his arm."No!" I screamed, sprinting after him.I wouldn't lose him.Never.My vision blurred, heat flooded my chest, and my limbs shook violently. My wolf pushed

SOLANA I waited anxiously the next morning. My husband wasn't in bed when I awoke. Naturally, I quickly got ready, thinking he would come over to ask me to follow him to the trial. I was terrified out of my mind, going through a thousand possibilities in my head."You've been staring at the clock for quite a while now, Luna. Is there something you're waiting for?" Anna asked me.We were in the sitting room, and she was sitting on a rocking chair, working on an embroidery.I shifted in my chair, unsure if it was okay to tell her about my concerns.She leaned towards me with a smile. "Or...are you waiting for a certain someone?""N-no, it's not like that," I spluttered, and she chuckled."Tell that to your red ears," she said, and I brought my hands to my ears, biting my lower lip.Deciding to pick up my courage, I inched towards her."Do you know where Alpha Roman went?" I asked.Her eyes sparkled. "You should've just said so instead of looking so worried. He's in the gym."I gap

SOLANA "We were fine, Alpha. At least, we were getting there. I enjoy your company more than I thought I ever could. And now... being away from you hurts. Can you not stay…with me?" My voice shook, my eyes brimming with tears.I had somehow reached my limit, I felt like a dog starved of affection. He just stood there for a while, a blank look on his face. Then he turned towards me."You...want me to reject you because you enjoy my company?" He asked, and a lump formed in my throat. If he put it like that...it sounded foolish.But I wasn't used to expressing my feelings. I always had to endure. And now, I had become just a little greedy. I wanted... I needed to experience more."Maybe I've been avoiding you because I can't stand the sight of you. Did that ever cross your mind?" He said, and I curled my shaking hands into fists, my chest constricting.I searched his eyes. At first, they seemed blank. But then I noticed the way his throat bobbed and the slight furrow in betwe

SOLANA "You're...serious?" I breathed, searching his eyes. He brought a hand to my face, his fingers lightly tracing along my cheekbone. "Why? Are you afraid? Or maybe you suck at seduction as well," he droned and rolled off me smoothly. I blinked at the ceiling, flabbergasted. He started to head to the bathroom, and that's when I sat up, blurting out the words that had been choking me, literally. "Are you really not going to talk about what happened earlier?" I asked. He froze. "How bad is it? Your illness, I mean." He lowered his gaze, his hands curling into fists. "I'm not dying, if that's what you're afraid of. I will get better, you don't have to worry," he replied. But that's the thing, how could I not be worried? That question lingered on my mind as I took out the steaming lasagna from the oven later that day. Someone whistled behind me, and I turned to see Hawke grinning from ear to ear. "This is crazy. It smells so good. Our Alpha is so lucky," he said. I c
