All Chapters of Alpha Orion: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Rey caressed Beau's pale, soft cheek slowly, unwilling to leave him, but she knew that if she wanted to get him out of that place, she needed to act now.She pulled her hand away reluctantly, her lips set in a grim line as she rose slowly to her feet, turning around to head for the door, but a hand clamped around her forearm, drawing her back.It was the priestess; her dark eyes trained on hers as she slowly shook her head. Rey’s gaze flickered to the hunter standing just outside the open door briefly before settling back on her.“You won’t win, not like that.” The priestess whispered low, like she’d read Rey's thoughts and knew about her reckless and suicidal plan to go after her father alone.“Don’t you see what he did to my brother, his own son?” she hissed, and the priestess gave the softest nod.“Yes, and he deserves to be punished for it,” she responded before glancing down at Beau briefly, who had fallen unconscious again.“Although his journey will be difficult… The boy will l

The moment Rey vanished into the trees; Orion tore into a hunter that lunged after Rey with a savagery he hadn’t unleashed in years. ‎The rest stood back, eyes red, as they circled around him slowly without engaging, but he kept a watchful eye on them, making sure none of them followed Rey.Seth stayed behind the hunters, smirking like the coward he was. His single eye gleamed with sick delight as he finally stepped forward, hands coated in his own blood from where Rey had slashed his eye.Orion growled lowly in contempt. He knew he’d let his guard down by trusting the snake of a Lycan, but the bastard needed to die.Seth stepped forward slowly, but not completely away from the hunters he was hiding behind.“Look at you,” Seth jeered, pacing behind the hunters as they slowly began to close in, circling Orion. “All this effort to be different from the mad Alpha, and for what?” he chuckled.“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree; you’re the same monster he was, maybe even worse. But

Rey tried to take a step closer, but Malcolm was quick—viciously so—to press the barrel of the gun tighter against Beau's temple. The metal dug into his skin, causing him to flinch as he stared wide-eyed at his sister."Take another step closer and I will paint the snow with his fucking brains!" he snarled, and Rey stilled.Her fingers trembled around the blade she was gripping. The cold steel wasn’t half as chilling as the look on Beau’s face. He didn’t show fear; no, instead, his wide, soft eyes were filled with something far worse—pity. For her, for Orion and for everything.“Please don’t hurt him,” she whispered, her voice cracking. Malcolm let out a low, gleeful chuckle that scraped along her spine like a blade.Orion growled, the deep sound vibrating through the air, but he didn’t lunge. Not with the gun still pressed against Beau’s skull. He was furious, but for the first time in his life, fury wasn’t enough; he wouldn't risk Beau's life in that way.The bullets in my gun are l

Orion opened his eyes slowly, blinking back the darkness curling around the edge of his sight. The darkness gradually cleared and the world around him came into focus.Around him, there was nothing but an endless abyss. Black stretched infinitely in every direction, swallowing sound, time, and sense. And yet, in the center of that void, a figure hovered before him, radiant, serene and untouched by the darkness around them.It was the goddess, Selene and somehow, the most innate part of him recognised his maker.“Where am I?" He asked hesitantly, the sound of his voice echoing back.The last thing he remembered was the look in Reylin's eyes before he slipped into nothingness.Was this life after death?He'd never really wondered where he would go after he breathed his last, but he was sure it wouldn't be good and he'd come to terms with the fact that he deserved it.Her gaze fell upon him, calm and unreadable, yet there was an unspoken weight in her eyes.“You're stuck somewhere betwee

Rey melted into the kiss, her lips parting under his. It felt like a lifetime ago since she felt his warmth against her, and the taste of him ignited something deep within her.She pressed closer, her fingers threading through his hair, pulling him nearer as if afraid, he'd vanish again. The kiss grew hungrier, their tongues brushing in fervent strokes, breaths mingling in hot abandon, and she felt a spark of life return to her limbs, chasing away the numbness of grief.Orion broke the kiss only to trail his mouth along her jaw and down her neck, savouring the way she shivered."It feels like a lifetime since I've held you,' he said softly, his voice coaxing as he nuzzled her skin.He guided her back toward the bed, their hands exploring tentatively at first, his over her shoulders, hers tracing the contours of his ripped abdomen and the sinewy lines of his arms. They sank onto the mattress together, their bodies aligning naturally.As they settled, Rey felt the heat building between
