All Chapters of Marked by the Alpha: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

ZaraI paced within the room, my mind running through several things all at once. What had Mira come to do espeically in a time like this when the Lone Wolf was on the loose. He could very well kill her if he realized that she was of no importance to him. Now, Ryan had gone to meet her for whatever reason I couldn't comprehend. In that moment, I felt a pang of something I couldn't quite bring to words, it was there but yet again, no matter how much i tried to think about what it was, I still couldn't figure it out and then, it hit me. It was Jealousy. I was jealous at the fact that Mira was here and they would talk and at the end make up for whatever reason. I didn't want that to happen and even though I knew I had no hold over Ryan, it still hurt me to know that he might even have feelings for her."Get a grip Zara! Whatever they decide is none of your business." I mummured to myself.I kept on forgetting I was indispensable, I could easily be thrown out as easily as i was bundled i

ZaraThe next time I opened my eyes, I was in my room, laying under a blanket I had no idea on how it was put on me. I looked around, my eyes flickering towards the door but there was no one around. I closed my eyss for a bit, my mind casting back to what had happened before now and my cheeks turned red. Ryan.I was with Ryan and he gave me the best orgasm I had ever and I knew it was something I would never forget for as long as I lived.The first thing I became aware of was the warmth of sunlight pressing faintly against my eyelids, the kind that doesn’t fully wake you but lingers like a reminder that the world is already moving without you. I shifted slightly under the sheets, expecting the usual morning stiffness from sleeping in an awkward position, but instead my body felt… different, softer in some places and oddly sensitive in others, as though my skin had become more aware of itself overnight.And then it hit me.Images, broken at first and then sharper, rushed into my mind l

RyanThe way I looked at her felt like an outerwordly experience in a way that told me that all of this was not a normal thing. In that moment, she was as beautiful as the morning sun, radiating in such a way that told me that I couldn't do anything to her. She was pure, purer than the whitest dove while I was stained, my soul darker than the depths of the sea."Ryan, i'm here... you can talk to me," she urged.I could see genuine care in her eyes, something I never saw in Mira. This woman loved me, she cared for me and I had made her pass through the worst experience anyone could ever pass through."Don't come any closer... don't you see, I am a disease... i will infect you and I don't want to do that. Please stay away from him." I begged.It pained me to say that but my wolf was at the surface, threatening to break out and when it does, Zara might not survive. I watched as she unbottoned her shirt, exposing her arm even as my mouth watered. I knew what she was offering but still, th

RyanThe words didn't make sense at first. They just hung there in the air between us, four syllables that refused to assemble into something my mind could hold.Mira. She's dead.I felt Zara's fingers twitch against mine, the smallest pressure, like she was trying to ground me before I'd even moved and maybe she knew, before I did, that something in me was about to come apart."Say that again," I said, and my voice didn't sound like mine. It came out low, flat, the voice I used when I needed people to obey before they understood why."Mira." My man — Theo, his name was Theo, I made myself remember that, made myself hold onto the small human details because the alternative was letting the wolf take the wheel completely even as he swallowed hard."She was found an hour ago, within the room. Alpha, it wasn't an accident. Her throat was...""Don't." The word cracked out of me before I could stop it. Not yet. I couldn't hear the rest of it yet, not with Zara's hand still weak in mine, not

RyanThe body was Callum's. I stood over him in the hallway and made myself look. You don't get to look away when you're the Alpha. That's not a privilege you keep.Callum was twenty-three and he beeat every wolf his age in sparring last month and wouldn't shut up about it for two weeks after. His laugh used to bounce off the walls of this house like it owned the place.Now he was on the floor with his throat torn out. Same as Mira.I heard Simon behind me. Nobody was talking and that was the problem, because Simon always talked, always had something to say, and he coming here so quiet meant that this completely surprised him.He came around the corner and stopped when he saw Callum and for just a second, just one, something crossed his face that he didn't have time to hide. Pain. Real pain, the kind that lives behind the eyes and doesn't ask permission to show up.Then it was gone and he was my Beta again."Second one tonight," he said, coming to stand beside me. Not a question."Sec
