Chapter 36 Alpha Duel
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56~Liam~
It was almost nighttime. The pack kept pouring in into the open field in the woods, which we used for pack gatherings, often for families to hang out at night. Rigel was helping set up the bonfire, keeping his distance from me for now.
There was no laughter in their eyes. Instead, a worrying tension that they failed to hide from me. Surprisingly, the children were present, a lot of them. They could’ve chosen to stay at their homes, attending tonight’s event was optional. Pride swelled in my chest – they’re a good pack.
They could’ve berated me for accepting the challenge but here they were, supporting me. How could I possibly let them down?
A link tried to connect. It was Gale. “Alpha, everyone is in position.”
“Don’t let your guards down.”
They replied with a unified answer, in a reassuring tone.
“Yes, Alpha.”
Opening a private link with Gale, I asked, “How’d Anna take it?”
“The D

~Anna~His body went limp as he closed his eyes, lips parted, a single breath leaving his mouth.“No. No. Liam. Liam…”I slapped his face gently for a few times to wake him. He couldn’t just leave me. He couldn’t just…I screamed his name over and over as I slapped his face harder, but he didn’t respond. Sweat and blood slicked his face and arms. He had bruises all over his torso. He felt cold. Too cold like he had been submerged in icy water for hours.“Liam…” I whispered, choking at the words I wanted to say. More tears flowed as I cupped his cheek.Please open your eyes. Please… you can’t just leave me… us. The pack needs you. I need you.

~Anna~Beep. Beep. Beep.What an annoying sound.I cracked an eye open, staring at a white ceiling. To my right was a machine that constantly emitted the sound.Very annoying.I tried to sit up, but my muscles ached. I felt weak and tired all over. A muffled groan vibrated from my throat.“Anna?”Gale came into view, and I opened my other eye. He stared down at me with a slack jaw, before running out of the room.What the-“Anna?”It was Lexy this time. She came over to me, with a huge smile on her face. I smiled back, just a little. My vision was spinning, and I felt lightheaded. I shook my head gently, but it worsened the dizziness.“How do you feel?” she asked, sitting on the bed.“Ghe…” I meant to say “great” but instead managed a raspy whisper.“It’s alright. You should take it easy for now,” said Gale.
Ascension of a Gamma Chapter 39 Coldest Dark
~Liam~When I came to, warmth seeped into me in electrifying currents. My lids felt heavy still, and in the darkness that I found myself floating in, I clung to this comforting warmth that melted away the cold. Here I felt nothing, heard nothing, tasted nothing beyond what was supposed to be my physical body. I contemplated if this was death, or the transition to it, but the warmth calmed me down. I could feel it inside me, coming from my wrists then up to my arms, as it dispersed through every part of me. It made me feel alive, gave me hope of something… that I couldn’t quite point out.There used to be voices I couldn’t decipher, whispers and a far distant scream. There used to be a woman with the light behind her that I couldn’t see her face. I did

~Anna~He stared at me for an uncomfortable amount of time, brows furrowed in concentration. Then he looked away with downcast eyes, sighing.“I’m sorry,” he mumbled.It had been like this for three days now. He’d randomly stare at me to figure out who I was only to look away and mumble an apology. It was painful seeing him so confused, so lost within his own world.“It’s alright,” I said as I molded my hand into his.We sat on the side of my bed in silence, waiting for Lexy and the others. They’d come every morning to check up on him, and talk to him, bringing up memories that might help him remember or at the very least trigger something.For thre

~Anna~“Will he be alright?”“I believe in him, Carson.”“Are you alright?”“We’re doing fine. Thanks for checking up on me,” I replied.“Bella, you know you can always lean on me. If anything comes up, anything at all, please give me a ring?” he asked.He’d been calling every day, something I was thankful for. I almost forgot to call him with everything that’d been happening.“You’ll be the first to know,” I told him.Liam stirred in my lap. “Got to go now. He’s awake. Talk to you soon?”“I’ll call you. Take care of yourself, Bella. Please…” he said before hanging up.
Ascension of a Gamma Chapter 42 Gamma’s Pride
~Rigel~Fuck his possessive ass if he thought he could get rid of me. I wanted to see my princess in person; it was my duty as her knight. Lexy and Gale might tell me that she was doing fine and so was Liam, but that I had to see for myself.It’d been four days. They were hiding something from me and if I found out Anna wasn’t well; someone was going to pay, preferably Gale.“Last chance,” he said as we were almost in front of her bedroom door.“I’d like to see him try.”There was no way I was letting myself get pummeled by him. Just because he was the Alpha didn’t mean he could push me around. Getting overly jealous when I was around his mate, I swear to Goddess he was the
Ascension of a Gamma Chapter 43 Recognizing Mirrors
~Anna~He settled his head at the crook of my neck and inhaled my scent. It sent shivers down my spine and his teasing soft lips on my skin made me smile.“We have to shower again,” I said, giggling.“We can shower later,” he whispered as he trailed kisses along my jaw.Sighing, I turned to my side to face him. I traced a finger on his stubble, rough and prickly. “Aren’t you hungry?”“We can eat later,” he said, taking my finger into his mouth and sucking it. This man was dangerously seductive; I could feel my core ache for him, again.I took my finger off his mouth and sat up, sheets covering me.“I have to check up on the
Ascension of a Gamma Chapter 44 Full Counter
~Liam~Memories came flooding back to me as I watched her sleep. Everything… a blur, a flash, a series of images on play. I remembered everything… but was still a scramble.An arm flung around my waist, and her leg came over my thigh. She was anything but a still sleeper, but she looked adorable with her hair messy. My Anna, I remembered her then, as with everything else that preceded, and I understood what was happening with the pack.Luca wasn’t responding, yet. Even when I marked her and she marked me, he didn’t make his presence known. I knew he was still with me, but he was keeping himself shut off.He tried to poison me and succeeded; Luca must be in a worse condi

Ascension of a Gamma Epilogue
A shrill scream cut through the otherwise silent mansion of the Rose family. Liam awoke, startled, and in a speed that the human eye couldn’t follow, he opened Alia’s bedroom door with a bang.The light switched on, illuminating the little girl shaking in her bed. Tears brimmed her eyes, threatening to spill. She breathed harshly, raising her arms to ask for her Daddy’s comfort.Liam’s gaze shifted momentarily to the windows, which were, much to his relief closed, the curtains exactly the way they were when he left her.The boys’ bedroom door opened as Liam stalked to Alia. He raised the girl by her waist and let her down on his lap.“Daddy,” she cried, burying her face in his chest.Liam stroked her hair and gently leaned forward and back. “It’s only a nightmare, baby. Daddy’s here.”“You can put those down,” he said to the boys. Aylan carefully put down the bag of wolfsbane powder.“No bad guys?” asked Amiry.“N
Ascension of a Gamma Chapter 80 Little Alphas
“I’m thinking of adopting,” said Gale as he ran a hand though his hair. “I haven’t talked to Andrix about it yet, but he won’t be averse at the idea, would he?”Rigel calmly drank his glass of bourbon, which was from Liam’s not-so-secret personal collection.“A human kid?” he asked.“No, you fucking dumbass. Do you want the kid to die?” Gale said, scowling.Liam muttered under his breath, something about not having a moment of quiet time for himself as he scanned and signed through a stack of documents. Gray streaks dyed his hair, and lines had begun to show on his face. He had a stubble from having forgotten to shave that morning. It was because of the children jumping up on him before daybreak.Sighing, he signed the last o
Ascension of a Gamma Chapter 79 Hopeful Hearts
~Liam~“AAAHHH!!!” Anna’s screams filled the entire room as our babies pushed their way out. In a few more hours or minutes, we were going to be parents!“AAAHHH!!! Ughm!”I clenched my jaw as she crushed my hands in a death grip. She was sweating profusely, her breathing heavy. Lexy and Helia and nurses were constantly checking on her.I didn’t know what else to do. If I could share the pain with her, I would. The only plan my mind came up with was to talk to her like it would help.“You’re doing great, babe!” I encouraged.I can’t feel my hands.“Breathe… breathe… you’re alright… you’re doing great!”
Ascension of a Gamma Chapter 78 Whispering Promises
~Liam~I’d been squeezing a stress ball since morning – Gale’s recommendation. As ridiculous as it looked, it was helping.“Did you hear back from Helia?” I asked as soon as Lexy entered my office.“She’ll be here by tomorrow morning,” she replied, dropping on the sofa like a bag of potatoes. “Are you sure you want to me to handle this, bro? We can ask the humans – they’ve more experience and frankly, I’ve only ever delivered one baby.”We owned hospitals and leaving her in the hands of an expert would maybe lower the risks, but she was a special case.Her blood, her race – if something hocus pocus happened while a human was around, the safest measure would be to kill that human. It would upset her. Then again, she didn’t have to know. Still…“I’m leaving you in charge of preparations,” I said firmly. “If something… starts happening, do whatever you have to save her.”“I want her to make it
Ascension of a Gamma Chapter 77 Sour Brownies
~Liam~“Babe, I’m sorry. You told me I can have it.”I ate the last brownie on the fridge and forgot to bake more since I spent the day in the office. For the mean time, I was handling two packs because I didn’t want her to stress herself over pack matters. She was on board with the idea. It gave her more time to read books and nap – she’d been napping at almost after every hour.When she was in the mood for boring paperwork, she’d join me. I enjoyed her company – things finish faster, and her mood would lighten up at the Black Mist Pack’s reports which were usually on their progress on the numerous programs implemented to help stabilize their position.I didn’t get yelled at or pushed away for being
Ascension of a Gamma Chapter 76 Real Happiness
~Rigel~“The little fucker’s asleep.”I grinned in triumph. My carbon copy had been crying for hours, keeping everyone wide awake at twenty minutes past twelve on a Friday night! Sabri was lying in bed, her eyes closed, tired from the sleepless nights and early mornings.I wouldn’t let Mom take care of my kid while I slept. She needed to rest, too, after a long day of feeding the pack.I could train for hours, spar with every warrior willing to get bruises, but holding a kid and dancing him around for hours… every muscle in my arms screamed at me to let them down on my sides. Funny thing was that he didn’t even weigh much.A settled man. None of the guys would’ve expected that I’d be the first one. My bachelor days were over, and yet despite the added responsibilities, I was… happier?I had a beautiful queen in bed, and a little prince in my arms. What more could I ask for?Mom was ov
Ascension of a Gamma Chapter 75 Forever Yours
~Anna~“You look so beautiful, Anna,” said Lexy, dabbing at her eyes.“Thank you, Lexy… for everything,” I said and gave her a tight hug.“Won’t you at least tell me what happens after? I heard Aunty J stressing over the menu for tonight.”I didn’t know how the ceremony would proceed, and they’d been keeping their mouths sealed.“Well… we, your loyal subjects, enjoy a night of feasting and drinking and some alone time with our mates…”I sniggered, surprised that she could be so bold when it came to Carson.“… while you and bro copulate somewhere else.”Oh, Goddess…
