All Chapters of Alpha Adrain: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

{Roxellena POV}“It looks like your crush got himself in trouble,” John said, a knowing smirk tugging at his lips.He was right. I had no idea how he always knew when I was crushing on someone, but he was annoyingly good at it. My stomach twisted. How did he always see right through me? I hadn’t even realized I was staring until John pointed it out. The new guy sat in Jason’s usual seat like he owned it, completely unaware of the storm heading his way.I pushed back from the table, the plastic chair scraping loudly against the tiled floor, and hurried across the crowded cafeteria.I was only a few steps away when I frozeJason and his entourage had already walked in. “No, no, no. This is not good.” In seconds, they surrounded the stranger like sharks circling blood in the water. Jason clamped a hand on the new guy’s shoulder, leaning in to whisper something. Whatever it was, it made his crew smirk with cruel amusement, their eyes gleaming.Heart hammering, I forced myself forwar

{ Roxellena POV}I barely remembered how I got home after yesterday’s bloodbath. Jessica’s brother had been our saviour. The one who picked us up from the chaos and dropped each of us at our respective houses. When I finally slipped through the front door, Rosa was already lounging on the couch like she owned the place.“So you decided to show up,” she sneered, her lip curling in disgust. I quietly walked past her, jaw tight, refusing to give her the satisfaction of a reaction.If only she knew I had nearly been torn apart by rogue wolves while searching for “her”during the attack. I had risked everything for someone who had never once shown me an ounce of care. There was no point telling her. She wouldn’t care. She never did.“My mum wants to see you,” she called after me just as I reached the door to my cramped room under the stairs.I retreated and changed direction, climbing the stairs and walking down the passage that led to step Mum’s room.“Come in,” Lady Gerty’s sharp voice

{Roxellena POV}The journey to Alpha Pascal’s territory dragged on far longer than I had expected. Hour after hour, the same endless line of trees blurred past the car windows, their green monotony pressing down on me like a weight. But the real torture wasn’t the road,it was sitting in silence while my own family laughed and chatted just inches away, as if I were invisible.Lady Gerty dominated the conversation, her voice sharp and relentless. “Remember, girl, at that training camp you will speak only when spoken to. Keep your head down and your mouth shut. We’ve had enough of your nonsense.” She and Rosa exchanged knowing glances before launching into a string of lies about me, how I was lazy, disrespectful, ungrateful. Dad nodded along without a word.“At least you’ll finally have some fresh air,” Rosa sneered, twisting in her seat to look straight at me. “The cupcake in the oven won’t miss you anymore. The fat rat is gone for months.” She smirked at her mother. Laughter exploded t

Alpha Adrian POV“Dad, what the hell?” The words tore from my throat the second my eyes clashed with his.“What was this all about?” I was still sprawled on the cold training mat, chest heaving, when he rose to his feet like the collision had been nothing more than a casual greeting.“A lesson,” he said calmly, brushing dust from his sleeves as he walked toward the white couch. “And you passed this one.” He sank into the cushions, leveling me with that unreadable Alpha stare. “But you failed the first.”I pushed myself up, jaw tight. “What was the first lesson?”“An Alpha must keep his word.” He gestured for me to sit closer. “You told those teens fifty push-ups. You stopped at twenty-five.”Heat crawled up my neck. I hated when he was right.“They never would’ve survived fifty,” I muttered.“Then you should have given them something lesser,” he said before standing up.“Take care of the pack.” With that, he left.My mind drifted back to the punishment I had given the teens.
