Semua Bab BOUGHT BY THE ALPHA WHO DESPISES ME : Bab 231 - Bab 240

Knox’s POVThe corridors were quieter than usual. Most of the palace was still recovering from the previous night’s chaotic ball, leaving only guards and servants moving through the grand halls.Conrad walked beside me, his hands tucked behind his back.mNeither of us spoke.There was no need. We both knew exactly where we were going.“You’re certain?” I finally asked.Conrad nodded. “I’ve been watching him for months.”“And?”“He knows something.”“You sound very confident.”“I am.”We stopped outside a pair of enormous black doors. “This is his office.”I pushed the doors open. The room smelled faintly of parchment and candle wax.Shelves filled with books lined every wall and several scrolls lay scattered across a massive desk.Supreme stood beside one of the windows with a document in his hand. He didn’t even look surprised to see us.“Lord Vaelor.”He smiled politely. “Lord Kaelen to what do I owe this visit .”Conrad folded his arms. “We need to talk.”“I imagined you would.”Su

Mila’s POVThe only thing I saw was a shadow, It stood near the window, perfectly still, its outline swallowed by the darkness of my room.I didn’t hesitate. Months of training took over before fear could hold me down.I rolled off the bed just as something flashed through the air.It was a knife.It buried itself deep into the wooden headboard where my head had been seconds earlier.My pulse thundered.Someone was trying to kill me. I grabbed the dagger hidden beneath my pillow and sprang to my feet.The figure rushed me and I clashed my dagger with his and it reverberated with a sharp clang that echoed through the room.The force of the impact sent vibrations up my arm.The attacker was strong and they wore black from head to toe, their face hidden beneath a hoodie.Not a single feature was visible only glowing golden eyes. The stranger swung again, I barely ducked.The blade sliced through the air above my head before crashing into a nearby table, wood splintered everywhere.I ki

Mila’s POV“My Lady.”The arena official motioned me forward.“It’s your turn.”Every eye in the arena followed me as I walked toward the second Infernal Beast.The cheers from Elle’s successful ride still echoed around the stadium. She had already crossed the finish line to thunderous applause and now stood near the judges’ platform with a smug smile on her face.She folded her arms as I approached. “Try not to die.”I smiled sweetly. “I’ll do my best to disappoint you.”A few demons laughed and Elle rolled her eyes.The laughter vanished the moment I stood before the beast.It was enormous.Its black scales shimmered like polished obsidian.Two massive horns curled backward from its skull.Golden eyes stared directly into mine.It snorted and hot smoke blasted across my face.Wow I could really get scorched.“Hello.” I said sweetly The beast growled. The sound vibrated through my chest.The handler standing nearby frowned. “Strange indeed”“What?”“It doesn’t like you.”“I noticed.

Mila’s POVThe arena remained silent for several long seconds after my hand connected with Elle’s face.She got up form the ground and her red eyes burned with fury. “You slapped me.”I blinked innocently. “Did I?”“You know you did!”“I…” I genuinely didn’t know what to say.Rina coughed inside my mind.“You are absolutely not blaming this on me.”“I wasn’t going to.”“You were thinking it.”“Maybe.”Elle took a furious step forward.“You—”“Enough.”The King’s voice rolled across the arena like thunder.Every conversation stopped instantly. Elle clenched her jaw but bowed.“My King.”His eyes settled on her. “You fired an arrow during an official trial.”Her expression stiffened.“I merely wanted to make it more fun”“You endangered the King’s entertainment.”She immediately lowered her head. “My apologies.”The King waved a careless hand. “The first trial is over.”“Continue.”Clearly, he cared far more about the competition than about fairness.Typical.The judges quickly gathere

Mila’s POVThe world shattered and everything was gone, no warm sunlight or the familiar bedroom.All of it cracked like fragile glass, breaking into countless glowing fragments that drifted into endless darkness.“No!”I’m sorry Rina whispered I reached for them but my fingers closed around nothing. I was falling again or floating perhaps couldn’t tell.The silver void from before surrounded me once more. There was no sky of ground.Only endless light stretching in every direction.“Mila.”A distant voice echoed around me.“Mila.”The voice grew louder.“Mila!”My eyes flew open.I gasped sharply as cold air filled my lungs, I was lying on something hard, I looked and i was lying on a cold black stone.For several seconds, I could only stare at the sky. My chest rose and fell rapidly.It had felt so real, too real to be true “…Knox…”The name escaped my lips in a whisper. A judge’s voice interrupted my thoughts.“Contestant Three has returned.”The sound of applause slowly reache
