The Alpha's Return Yes
Chapter Twenty-EightArabella’s POVAs I was ushered away from Leo, a whirlwind of emotions threatened to consumed me. Anger, fear, and betrayal swirled within, making it difficult to process the events that had just unfolded.How could I have been so foolish to believe that he deserved another chance? I had gone to great lengths to protect him from the council, only to be met with the terrifying reality that his inner beast could have easily ended my life.The realisation hit me like a tidal wave. It was clear that Leo's Lycan had no regard for my safety. The way he had lunged at me, the sharp claws digging into my skin, it was a chilling reminder of the danger I had willingly placed myself in.I had ignored the warnings, the doubts that had nagged at the back of my mind. I had wanted to see the good in him, to believe that love and understanding could conquer all. That maybe, just maybe, the Moon Goddess knew what she was doing. But now, I was left with the harsh reality that my tru
The Alpha's Return Fight for me
Chapter Twenty-NineArabella’s POVI had never experienced such nerves and guilt before. It wasn't Leo who had taken the lives of those innocent people, it was Shadow. So, was it fair that Leo had to suffer because of his Lycan? That question plagued my mind, and I couldn't find an answer.Being the Alpha of an entire pack meant that they relied on me to make the right decisions. They were just starting to trust me, and now I had to make a choice. Or at least, I believed I did.As the jury deliberated, time seemed to stretch. I felt the need to step outside and bask in the warmth of the sun. Who knew when I would have the chance again if things didn't go in my favor.‘Shadow isn't evil, he's just misunderstood.’ Storms voice no longer held the calmness it used to, instead, her words were blunt and short.Ever since I rejected Leo, my wolf and I had been at odds. And since the moment I handed him over to the council, she had refused to let us shift. I couldn't blame her, though. Our wo
The Alpha's Return The woman I loved
Leo’s POVArabella was too good for me. Especially considering all the mistakes I had made since she rejected me. I had urged her to fight for our relationship, desperately wanting her back. But deep down, I knew I was trapped in this place, with no hope of escape. Even if I miraculously managed to gain my freedom, there was always the looming threat of Shadow regaining control and going after Arabella once again.The risks were too great, and I couldn't bear the thought of Arabella becoming another victim of my cursed existence as a Lycan. She had already endured so much pain and suffering. She deserved a life filled with joy and fulfillment, one that would undoubtedly be longer and happier without me in the picture.As the guard approached to take me away, my body felt drained of all strength. I could barely muster the energy to stand. With a forceful grip, he yanked me up, causing me to stumble and collapse back onto the ground. Frustration consumed the guard, and he lashed out, de
The Alpha's Return Hunting season
Arabella’s POVMy heart shattered at the sight of Leo, worn down and lost. It pained me deeply. However, my anger flared up when I saw him drugged, his appearance tainted by the effects of the wolfsbane.The younger council member proved to be an insufferable jerk. His condescending tone not only towards me, but also towards Leo, revealed his utter lack of respect for anyone beneath his status. When the older gentleman intervened, instructing him to sit down and taking control, I struggled not to laugh.Just as Leo confirmed his identity as a Lycan, Susie arrived on the scene. The color swiftly drained from her face, a clear indication of her shock and disbelief.Understandably, Susie's reaction was completely justified. Lycans had long been regarded as mere legends, existing only in myths and folklore. Even I, until my father's passing and Leo's entrance into my life, believed them to be nothing more than stories.However, with Leo's revelation, the truth was now exposed for all to se
The Alpha's Return I’m all the family you’ve got left
Arabella’s POVAs the crowd started flocking towards the site of the car explosion, the girls and I took it as our signal to leave. I clutched onto the memory stick for dear life, and it felt as though my entire existence relied on it. And in a sense, it truly did. Regardless of my rejection, Leo was my world. Unfortunately, this realisation came too late.We got into the car and made our journey back to Spring Lake. I wanted to believe that the woman's nervousness stemmed from drug-induced paranoia or sheer madness. However, witnessing how someone had gone out of their way to actually murder her, shattered any doubts I had. I couldn't afford to take any risks, and returning home seemed like the safest option.The entire journey was made in silence. Not a single word left our lips as we navigated the roads back to Spring Lake. Sara remained vigilant, her gaze fixed on the rear window, ensuring that we weren't being followed. Meanwhile, Susie fidgeted with the memory stick, her fingers
The Alpha's Return Hello again
Arabella’s POVThe video continued, capturing the man's next move. He approached the unconscious child, his face remaining out of the camera’s view. With a cold precision, he lifted the boy's limp body and carried him out of the room. Susie, Sara, and I exchanged horrified glances, our minds racing to comprehend the gravity of what we had just witnessed. This was no ordinary video; it was a glimpse into a world of unimaginable cruelty and experimentation."What do we do now?" I whispered. "We can't just ignore this.“Susie's voice trembled as she swiveled the screen once again. "There are more videos. Look, this one is of a girl... and oh my goddess!"Sara turned away, unable to bear witness to the horrors unfolding on the screen. "Oh goddess! She's a Lycan," she whispered, her voice filled with sorrow.I couldn't tear my eyes away from the laptop, my heart sinking with each passing second. "I'm going to take a guess and say they all are. But what does this have to do with Leo?" I as
The Alpha's Return What I require from you, is a baby
Leo’s POV‘You can survive this, you’re old enough this time.’ My chest raised and fell with each heavy breath I took. ‘I’m sorry, I can’t protect you this time.’‘Shadow? What the hell is going on? Who are these people?’‘They call themselves doctors, but they’re not.’‘Why are they doing this.’‘I wish I knew.’Suddenly my eyelids were pried open, causing Shadow to retreat back into the depths of my mind."The Lycan's human side still maintains control," a woman's voice broke the silence.Her touch sent shivers down my spine as her cold hands traced my body."His muscles are neither soft nor tense. His skin retains its elasticity, indicating hydration. It seems your methods are ineffective.""Well then, Miss, what do you suggest?""He's no longer a child. He's a fully grown man now. Perhaps, to achieve our objective, you need a woman to take a shot at it." The echoes of two men's laughter reverberated in my ears. "I'll be seeing you soon." Her warm breath tickled my ear as she whisp
The Alpha's Return Beyond furious
Chapter Thirty-FiveArabella’s POV"Why are you in my room, Margaret?" I questioned, my gaze fixed on her as I quietly shut the door behind me."You were looking for me," she replied, her voice tinged with uncertainty."I need to talk to you about something," I stated firmly."Of course, dear. What is it?" Margaret responded, attempting to maintain her composure."Why did you conduct experiments on Leo?" I confronted her, catching her off guard. She swiftly concealed any surprise she may have felt. "I am only giving you the opportunity to explain because of everything you’ve done for my family.""Arabella, what nonsense are you..." Margaret began, attempting to dismiss my accusation."No!" I interrupted, "I know I am not speaking nonsense, and so do you. So, I will ask you once more. What did you do to Leo?"I watched as Margaret's smile faded, replaced by frustration. Her lip twitched, and her fingers clenched tightly against her skin as she crossed her arms defensively."She spoke w
