Alpha Chester's Obsession Chapter 17
NORA' S POV Dreams had a way of distorting, of blurring the lines between the conscious and the subconscious.And mine was no different.I slipped into my dream like a chameleon changing its hue, going into a realm where reality bent and twisted at the whims of my subconscious mind. It was a familiar place, somewhere my memories mingled with my imagination, and the past bled into the present.In this dream, I stood at the threshold of a grand hall, a vast space adorned with sparkling chandeliers, opulent tapestries and beautifully dressed people. I recognised this place even through my dream.It was the Great Hall, situated in this very pack house.I stood right in the middle of the Great Hall, surrounded by a hundred guests. Alpha Chester was nowhere to be found, and it made meAn unexpected gust of wind from above made me look up. The roof had magically disappeared, revealing the cloudy sky and the moon that hung like a pale lantern in between the clouds.The moon above cast an eer
Alpha Chester's Obsession Chapter 18
Nora's POVThe hooded figure stopped, then turned.And as he locked eyes with Alpha Chester, a startled yelp slipped from his lips.Alpha Chester moved swiftly with all the power of an Alpha Wolf. He seemed to blend with the slanting moonlight streaming from the window, so that one minute he was standing by the window, and the next he was directly behind the hooded man.Predictably, the intruder tried to run. He turned sbd deftly sidestepped Alpha Chester, making his way towards the open window. But in no time, Alpha Chester had him by the scruff of his neck and was pressing hin against the wall, claws at his neck"Move an inch, and risk losing your throat to my claws." The Alpha growled.The tension in the room was palpable as Alpha Chester held the hooded intruder firmly by the neck, his growled threat sending a shiver down my spine. He kept the man against the wall, his eyes locked on the intruder's with a fierce intensity that dared him to make a move.I, too, remained pressed aga
Alpha Chester's Obsession Chapter 19
Chester's POV.The intruder howled with pain.I took several steps backwards as he cried out, then spat out a mouthful of blood. He lurched forward like a man under the influence of something stronger, then retched a few times.My knuckles smarted from the force of the blow I had delivered to the intruder's jaw. I knew that it had been an eruption of pent-up anger, a desperate attempt to break the man's resolve and extract the answers I so desperately sought. But I hoped this knockout would finally loosen his lips and get him to start talking.The hooded man's howl of pain had pierced the oppressive silence of the dungeon, and for a fleeting moment, I hoped that it would finally force him into submission.But as I staggered back, the satisfaction of that momentary victory gave way to a bitter reality. The intruder kept retching for long, agonising minutes. Then he took a loud and rattling breath and raised his head. His eyes met mine, and a chill went down my spine.The man spat out a
Alpha Chester's Obsession Chapter 20
Alina's POVHours had crawled by, and I was slowly losing it.The hours seemed long and hard, their passage marked by the torturous ticking of the clock on the wall. I could hear the incessant ticking, almost as though it was a dangerous time bomb about to go out.Tick tock, Alina. Your time is up.I sat by the window, staring out at the garden below, my mind on the one thing I desperately craved – news of the mission's success. The sun was slowly setting already, painting the sky an ochre-red hue.Slowly I pried my eyes away from the window and stared into the drawing room. What had changed? My father was no longer in his seat by the corner; he'd retired for his midday nap and hadn't woken since. My mother was sipping yet another little cup of tea and staring at the needlework on her laps like it was a living, breathing thing.And I—I was still sitting in the same spot, my behind aching with the pressure of sitting still in the same place.My anticipation gnawed at me, making every m
Alpha Chester's Obsession Chapter 21
Alpha Chester's POV"You betrayed the trust of a member of the Council, Alpha!" Elder Lyall raised his voice. "You promised to take my daughter's hand in marriage, and then you turned back to tell me you were picking her instead!" He pointed in Nora's direction.The sheer refusal to directly address Nora put my heart in an angry frenzy, but I tried to hold back my rage.Instead I raised my voice slightly, making sure that everyone in the room heard every single one of my words. "Elder Lyall, you and I both know that our union was forged for the sake of our pack, and it was nothing more than a calculated move on your side to strengthen your family's standing. You wanted your daughter to marry an Alpha so your family can get the respect and adulation you so desperately crave for, is that not so?"Elder Lyall opened his mouth to speak, but I shut him up by continuing. "You did not care about the feelings of Alina, nor did you care about Nora. You never liked me, Elder Lyall. I saw throug
Alpha Chester's Obsession Chapter 22
NORA'S POV...I took a deep breath, my fingers interlocked with Lily's as I walked out. It felt as though with every step I took, my heart beat even faster.As we approached the grand staircase, I saw a well-dressed guard patiently waiting for me, and my heart began to race. The anticipation of the ball weighed heavily on me, and a sense of unease gnawed at my insides.The guard bowed respectfully the moment we got to where he stood. "Luna," he murmured. "The Alpha instructed me to lead you to the banquet hall, where the ball will take place."I replied with a nervous "Okay," and slipped my hand into the waiting crook of his elbow. Then I allowed him to guide me down the stairs. His firm, comforting presence was oddly reassuring.The path to the banquet hall felt like a journey to an unknown destination. Doubts crept into my mind, threatening to overpower the excitement I had felt before. What if they don't accept me? What if I'm not what they expected in a Luna?How could I live the
Alpha Chester's Obsession Chapter 23
Nora's POVThe ball continued with a lively energy that seemed to sweep through the grand hall, filling it with music, laughter, and the joyful presence of the pack members. Alpha Chester and I remained the center of attention, our fingers intertwined as we moved through the room. His hand was warm, firm, and reassuring in mine, and I clung to it, finding comfort in his unwavering support.As I gazed upon the elated faces of our pack members, my heart was filled with a bittersweet mix of emotions. The sense of happiness that surrounded me was undeniable, but a cloud of uncertainty still lingered in my mind.At first the excitement and cheer coming from the pack members made me feel happy. But as time went on, I steadily grew tired of forcing a smile on my face. Soon I started to remind myself that this was my life now, but a small nagging doubt still remained in my heart.I couldn't help but feel the weight of the rift between my sister and me. I had hoped that this new beginning as L
Alpha Chester's Obsession Chapter 24
Nora's POV Panic gripped my heart as I fled through the dimly lit corridor, my footsteps echoing with each desperate step. Alpha Jacob's terrifying blue gaze and his suggestive words still lingered in my thoughts, and my fear increased with every passing moment. It was as if he wouldn't rest until he had what he wanted.I knew men like him; men who aimed to take advantage of every moving thing in a skirt. I had vowed never to give in to any of them, and yet here I was. In my previous life, I had tried so hard to run from all of them.In my frantic escape, I barely noticed my surroundings, and with every heartbeat, it felt as if I were being pursued. My pace quickened, and I didn't dare look back. I just had to get away from Alpha Jacob.I could only hope that he didn't have even worse intentions in store for me.But in my haste, I collided with something hard and solid, causing me to force out a gasp of surprise. My body stumbled backward, almost falling, but strong, reassuring arms

Alpha Chester's Obsession Chapter 76( Epilogue)
Nora's POVMy father's eyes fell on me, and I felt an insatiable anger fill me up from within.Suddenly, all I wanted was for this man to pay for every single thing he made me go through. I remembered the look of satisfaction I had seen on his face, as I had cried and groveled at his feet on that fateful day, when he'd thrown me out of his house.But the wheels had turned now. He was in my shoes now, and I would make sure he experienced the pain I had gone through as well.Or even worse.I understood that I was not his daughter, but what I did not understand was how I came to be in his house in the first place. How had I escaped the massacre that Jacob had done on my family, and how had I gotten to this vile man's household?However, all that was pushed to the back of my mind as I watched a fleeting look of fear pass across his face."Nora?" He called out, as though I was an apparition, and calling my name would dismiss me. "Surprised to see me, aren't you, Elder Lyall?" Goddess, how
Alpha Chester's Obsession Chapter 75
Chester's POVAll of a sudden, Nora was standing before me, and it felt as though all my troubles were dissipating into the air.My hands darted forward, as though I was trying to catch air, and my mouth hung open. I could not believe my eyes. Was I dreaming? Was the alcohol finally kicking in and I was imagining things?"Nora...." I whispered again. She smiled as I called her name. Oh, that smile. How I had missed it so much!I felt my wolf jump in excitement before me. In the space of a few seconds, my eyes cleared, and I saw Nora standing before me, live and in person."I'm here, Chester." She whispered. I watched as a tear fell from her eyes, and something within me shattered into a million pieces. I stumbled forward, kicking my goblet aside. Finally, reaching before her, I stopped again."What are you doing...." I stammered. "Why are you here? Where have you been?"A million questions and more chased each other in my head. Nora's smile fell for a moment. "It is a long story, Ch
Alpha Chester's Obsession Chapter 74
Nora's POVI walked the rest of the way to the packs border, trying to blend into the shadows that surrounded me. The moon was high in the sky by now, and I guessed that it was midnight already.On and on I walked, until finally, I got to the river that divided Moon Gold Pack from Wolf Claw Pack. I felt a tugging in my heart, and Chester immediately came to mind.Even though we were estranged from each other, I still missed him terribly. How I craved for the little moments that we'd shared. It was appalling how, in the space of a few months, this man whom I had hated with every passionate bone in me, had slowly grown to become an integral part of my life.I still hadn't forgiven him for pushing me out of his pack all those weeks. I still hadn't forgiven him for thinking the worst of me, but deep down, I could not deny that I missed my fated mate.I stopped in front of the river, contemplating how to cross to the other side. The bridge that would have helped me was broken, and the only
Alpha Chester's Obsession Chapter 73
Nora's POVThe moment I confirmed that he was dead, I slowly rose to my feet. I kept my eyes on him all through, half expecting him to open his eyes and stare right through me.I waited for a few seconds, but it felt like several eternities. I had to make it look as though he wasn't truly dead.Crouching beside him, I placed both hands underneath his armpits and lifted him up. He was extremely heavy, the brute of a man!Wuth several grunts and heaving, I placed him on the bed. Finally, I stared at hid unmoving body and smiled to myself. If only he knew that I would be his undoing, he would not have taken a liking to me, would he?I rearranged his clothes, placing a folded piece of cloth against his neck to hide the gaping hole in there. I arranged his hands around him to give off the impression that he was asleep, then I took several steps backwards.Perfect, I thought. Save for the unusual paleness of his skin, he truly looked like he was fast asleep.Suddenly, I heard several steps
Alpha Chester's Obsession Chapter 72
Nora's POVMy eyes caught a platter of cut apples, lying on a table by my side. Right beside the platter was a small, sheathed dagger.I narrowed my eyes as curiosity got the better of me. Slowly, I laid down the picture frame in my hands, then reached out to pick up the dagger. I pulled the dagger out of its scabbard and turned it in my hands, momentarily awed as it caught the sunlight at almost impossible angles. I immediately knew it was made of dragonblade, one of the strongest steels known to werewolves.The hilt was studded with several tiny rubies, but was built of pure, solid gold. On the hilt was emblazoned the initials Y.L; this dagger once belonged to my mother. It gave me a tiny comfort to know that I was holding something that once belonged to one of my parents."Hmm..." I murmured, sizing the dagger up against my hand. It was very small: not nearly as big as my entire hand, but sharp enough to do damage.I smiled to myself, a sinister fire burning within me. Sinking thi
Alpha Chester's Obsession Chapter 71
Nora's POV"Who is there?!" One of the guards called out.Sarah and I froze, then exchanged terrified glances. Oh, Goddess! What would happen if we were discovered? I knew that we would immediately be taken to Alpha Jacob, and there was no questioning what he would do to us to punish us."Oh, we're done for!" Sarah wailed, quite loudly."Oh, keep your voice low!" I snapped. "Let's leave before they notice people are here." I pulled her hand as we scurried towards the door.But as Sarah and I hurried toward the exit, we found ourselves face-to-face with the guards already inside the dimly lit Black Door Room. In a quick decision, we stood perfectly still, hoping the shadows would conceal our presence.Pressing ourselves against the darkened corner, I held my breath, praying that the guards wouldn't notice us. Their looming silhouettes moved through the room, their voices echoing in the hushed space."Why's this door open?" one guard's inquiry reverberated in the chamber's silence. We h
Alpha Chester's Obsession Chapter 70
Nora's POV.As I dressed up, I kept my mind resolute on the fact that I would find that door, whether Sarah helped me out or not. Julius' words kept ringing in my ears, giving me the courage I desperately needed.Sarah fetched a simple gray dress from a chest on the far end of the room—it was obvious that Alpha Jacob had stocked this room full of dresses for me, in case I happened to change my mind about marrying him."Here, Luna Nora," she murmured as she handed me the dress. Her eyes were averted, head downcast. I knew, deep down that Sarah wanted to help, but she was scared of the consequences that would follow if someone found out.I couldn't blame her. If I was in her shoes, I would be scared too."Thank you, Sarah." I murmured, accepting the gray dress. I slipped it on and fastened the buttons myself. Then I turned back to her. "Do you have a black cloak anywhere around this room?""Um...yes." Sarah replied. "Alpha Jacob's former wife used to keep one for special occasions, whe
Alpha Chester's Obsession Chapter 69
Nora's POVThe smile on Alpha Jacob's face faded slowly; it was clear that my abrupt change of heart had caught him off guard."Are you....are you certain about this, Nora?" Alpha Jacob asked, his voice laced with a hint of disbelief. "You've changed your mind?"No! My heart screamed. But I met his gaze firmly. "Yes," I replied, my voice resolute.A smile, bright and triumphant, crept onto Alpha Jacob's face, illuminating his features. He motioned to his guards. "Let her out!" He ordered, then cackled like a witch. "She is to be my wife! Finally, my dear Nora is to be my wife and Luna!"As the heavy metal door creaked open and the guards escorted me out, a whole storm of conflicting emotions engulfed me. My heart still ached for Julius, who had selflessly guided and supported me. I felt the weight of my failure to rescue him in his darkest hour.He had helped me throughout my stay in the dungeons. And now, when he needed my help the most, I was utterly powerless to help him.Walking a
Alpha Chester's Obsession Chapter 68
Nora's POVI sighed, turning back to Julius. The first hurdle was over, finally!"That was stressful. Eh, Julius?" I asked.Julius, who was slurping the last dregs of soup away, looked up. "Ah, yes, Nora. You did a good job."I nodded. I felt braver than I had been days ago, when thosw guards had dragged me all the way down here. It was as though in the space of a few days, my life had changed in drastic ways.And indeed, it had.I had been chased out of my former pack in shame. I had been locked in a room for an entire week, existing on nothing but porridge. I had made a friend in the form of a lone man in a dingy dungeon, discovered secrets and uncovered several lies and truths about my life. And now, I was facing the next hurdle in my journey head on.I was going to face the one man who had made my life a total, living hell."Do you think the guards would listen to me and tell Alpha Jacob about my offer?" I asked.Julius shrugged. "That is left for us to see. Though, I am sure that
