All Chapters of Stealing My Best Friend's Alpha: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Chapter 71As though it had all been orchestrated, the guards stepped aside, and I saw the bodies.First, I saw four of them. Their skin had cracked, dried completely of water and blood. Even though their eyes had turned to ash, I could sense the gruesome manner in which they'd died.Then the next five lay a short distance away. Then the remaining six. Fifteen men in total had met the same death sentence.My heart hammered as I tried to make sense of it all."What madness is this?""Sent from SilverFang. These are MY men killed by your Alpha," Alpha Frederick stepped closer, "your husband."His brows drew together, deep wrinkles forming across his forehead, while the veins in his neck bulged, the same as those running along his arms. He wasn't merely angry.He was seething. Only a breath away from unleashing the fury within him."Explain this to me!""I don't... I don't know anything about it. Kai would never," I defended.And even if Kai had done it, he certainly wouldn't have brough

Chapter 73I cracked a dry laugh. Dad had given me the answer all this time."You kept chasing me when you ought to attract me," it said in my exact voice."The One Tree all this time had been me?""You are me, and I am you. Remember when we first met? I said these words to you," it reminded me. In another situation, I would have been smacking myself on the forehead."Why torment me then? For if I die, you would too. We both share the same pain, yet still inflict it on ourselves?""I am still not getting it. I am not us. You and I are one being," it corrected.The lava was much closer now. "Then stop this madness," I rasped, breathless at this point. There was nothing left to inhale. My eyes might as well have bled from how scorched they felt.I lunged forward with the last ounce of strength in me and grabbed the One Tree's pants. My pants.Peace was once again threatened. Fear had returned to the land. It was time for a dark change. It could be felt in the air.In this moment, the Ae

Chapter 75Kai's POVI lurched out of the way as the next arrow pierced the ground and charged toward the shadows, but Frederick dragged me back. War cries filled the air, the arena now transformed into a full fledged war zone as our men tore into one another. Crimson spurted like water forced through a hose, pouring across the battlefield until the earth changed from its natural brown to something grim and blood-soaked.Frederick and I were caught between man and wolf. My skin was covered in silver-cerulean fur, while Frederick's was black, darker than midnight. My calves curved monstrously beneath me, my chest broadened, and my face deformed into something less human.Half-man. Half-wolf.Then, in the middle of the chaos, a blinding light erupted. First came the crashing sound of a building collapsing to its foundations, followed by an ear-piercing shriek as the light shot toward the heavens. It flickered like a distant star before vanishing beyond the dome.The fight continued. I l

Chapter 77Four days later.This morning, I fainted.The morning had started well. Kai and I were revisiting our plans for the night, and then the darkness came, Kai's voice growing distant even as he called my name repeatedly.Now, I woke up to a bright light that made me shut my eyes the moment they opened. My groan was met with distant hushed voices.Scanning the room, it was clear I was back in the royal infirmary. My body felt stiff against the sickbed, likely a response to whatever injection they had given me while I was unconscious.The voices came again, and I listened in. Even if I was not in the clearest headspace, I would recognize Kai's and Marcellan's voices anywhere."Have Clawface draft a different plan. He has the blueprint of the space. I'm not risking Alex's life again," Kai stated.Marcellan let out a disapproving grunt, but he did not argue. Kai sounded tense... and angry. Though I could not see him with the curtain still serving as an obstruction, I could picture

Chapter 79"Hello, Luna. My name is Sophia.""I'm Alex. It's nice to meet you." I returned her warm gesture, and a hug she had thrown in her approach."Oh, it's an absolute pleasure to meet you," she claimed, her eyes squinting at the edges from her smile. "I've heard so much about you. I've wanted so many opportunities to meet you.""And I believe you would have, if..." I turned my eyes to Marcellan.As though we'd both practised it, we shot Marcellan a death glare at the exact same time.Behind us, Marcellan looked devoid of blood, his eyes darting between Sophia and me as though he'd overheard us planning his funeral and was desperately looking for an escape route."Oh, Luna, I came to borrow some of your time. Without distractions, of course, if you don't mind."Her accent truly wasn't from around SilverFang, and she carried herself with much authority.I'm glad to know more about Marcellan, but this part of him I'd learned about was a very nasty part. Yet at the same time, Sophia
