The Cruel Alpha: Shouldn't Let You Go Chapter 34 Augustine Must Pay The Price
Augustine POV I wondered whether I could have grabbed her if I had been able to escape Rhoda sooner after she leaped since everything I witnessed at that precise moment felt like it had been slowed down. "Griffin!" I allowed my wolf to almost immediately rush over, but when Griffin turned to face me with pathos in his eyes, it seemed as though I had just realized for the first time what it was like to have a broken heart—, it would feel like someone plowed my heart out alive right now, but my soul still kept bleeding. I'm not sure how I managed to escape Rhoda, but I felt like I was walking on a path of thorns as I made my way toward the edge. It was too agonizing. Perhaps Keira had seized a vine or something else as she waited for me to save her, and I moved quickly. But the more I drew near the cliff's brink, the more I became aware of what was ahead. My hands started shaking as soon as I realized what Griffin's eyes were saying. The ground was hidden by thick vegetation as

Third Person POV When the loud slap was heard, the office could hear the nails falling. Nobody knew what Augustine would do, the seconds appeared to be frozen in time as his ocean-blue eyes scrutinized Lyndede. The shadows of the trees outside the window were cast on the office carpet swaying everyone's heart. "For the sake of Keira, I'll let you off the hook." Augustine said after taking a big breath. Looking at Dylan next to him, he knew that Dylan liked Keira. So, he ordered Stephen to call Dylan to leave that day at PARK café and sent Dylan to bring firewood to the woodshed on hunting day. How could he give a single chance to the male who coveted his mate? "Guards, take them both out." His majestic voice made people shudder. The two males immediately pushed the door in. "Do you believe a single smack is sufficient, Augustine? More than that, you owe Keira!" After being halted by the guards, Lynede struggled and yelled as she attempted to rush over and punch Alpha. "Don

Keira POV5 years ago.My family—my father, mother, brother, and I, we cherished one another. In my mind, at least, my parents would live with my brother and me for a very long time, but that was the day that everything went wrong. When my brother stole cheese or snacks to share with me, my mother always shook her head and told my father, who had just returned from the union. He would then tug our cheeks and pretended to be upset before kissing us. My mother prepared dinner before twilight and waited for my father to get home. The most enjoyable times were then.For a time, my father was very busy. He took great responsibility for our pack and vowed to defend it to the bitter end. I worried about him on the days when he left early and came home late. I would constantly lie in bed looking out the window, expecting to see his figure come into view. If he did, I would run down the stairs and give him a warm greeting. I occasionally look at the skies at night and wonder if my father is sa

Keira POV My mother obstructed me and sobbed, "Keep in mind what I'm about to say, Keira, if I don't return. Louis' biological father is that male, and he is a Rogue. He threatened to take Louis from us, which will undoubtedly ruin him because Louis might be a Bet... Promise me that you won't ever tell Louis. I want him to be happy, and I want you to be happy since you are both our loving children. Keira, I'm sorry about the telescope." Perhaps I was in a state of fear at the moment, or maybe everyone pushes their limits occasionally. I remembered all my mom said. I continued to keep my eyes fixed on her back as she ran away while I tried to remember what had happened. I can't remember how long I waited while hiding in the bushes, but eventually my legs grew numb, and I suddenly sank down on the ground. Though I had some hope, the more I waited, the more desperate I felt. Perhaps I already knew that my parents wouldn't be returning anytime. Is it the end of the world? I have

Third Person POV Louis suddenly collapsed to his knees on the carpet, buried his head in his hands, and his vision gradually became foggy. He had no idea that her withholding the truth from him was done so to keep Louis safe. But he had mistreated Keira for five years in a terrible and unfair manner! And he had always felt that what he was doing was right. Even though his palm hurt from repeatedly striking the ground with a clenched fist, it was nothing compared to the pain in his heart. Being nurtured by his parents as if he were their own son, he felt ashamed of himself and unable to forgive himself. They would be disappointed in him for becoming a selfish, foolish, and cold-blooded male if they were still around. "Stop doing this, Louis! Keira doesn't want to see you like this either." Stephen grabbed his hands to halt this self-inflicted behavior. "It's all my fault, Keira, I'm sorry." With hollow eyes, Louis murmured. "Be sensible! How can you find Keira in this condition whil

Keira POV"I'm sad to hear that; you must have been so alone all these years." I didn't realize it was a hug until Owain whispered in my ear, "Believe me, by the time you arrive on the island, you'll forget about this trying time and start a new life all to yourself."It's a good thing I have my hair down because I bet my ears are a touch red right now.Owain took a step back and released me from his embrace. "The ship is a little slow, it will take about 6 hours to reach the island. You may remain in this room, I'll be in the room at the end of the corridor, let me know if you need anything." He gave me a sneaky wink before shutting the door.The vibes that Owain and Augustine give out are radically different; Owain doesn't make me feel that he crosses the comfortable social distance line, whilst Augustine pulls me in forcibly and leaves me gasping after a rigorous eligibility screening. Even their smell differs; one is a spicy spirit that plunders everything like a pirate while the

Keira POV The ship gave this journey a salute by blowing its whistle which stood in for my farewell to the Bloodrose Pack. It was arguably the most beautiful sound I've ever heard. Goodbye Louis, goodbye Lynede, goodbye the house where I grew up, and the lovely little lake and forest. If all else perished, and he remained, I should continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger: I should not seem a part of it. I eventually became his wayfarer, even as the wind went around my soul. Slowly he'll forget about me. We're getting off the boat, so hurry up! Owain took hold of my hand and stepped onto the deck. To greet everyone on the coast, everyone stuck their heads out the window, and some even threw their caps out. Despite all the enthusiasm, I observed that none of them had removed their hairband. The male who handed me the apple whistled, as I was staring at them in astonishment, "Owain finally brought the la

Third Person POV Finally, this haughty Alpha bent his noble head in mate pull. Every minute of every day, he couldn't stop thinking about Keira, and he was fully aware that no one could ever take her place. He made his way back to the living room while sipping wine vigorously. His heart and throat burned as a result of the strong alcohol. Augustine went to take a shower after being a touch too heated. With his hair still dripping and the water gleaming on his muscular pecs, Augustine emerged from the bathroom. Watermarks were left on the living room's marble floor by his bare feet. Droplets trickled into the bath towel and down his chiseled pecs. Sitting on the couch, Augustine began to think how they had got there, glanced at the rum that was next to the record player to hide his scent, and became so irate that he took up the scented stone on the table and crushed it. You know he was last year's hunting king. Splash- In addition to the scent of spirits, Augustine could stil

The Cruel Alpha: Shouldn't Let You Go Chapter 58 Take Her Home
Augustine POV As I gazed at her peaceful sleeping face, a mixture of emotions overwhelmed me. I instinctively tightened my arms around her waist, feeling her breath on my face. I feared losing her once more, and perhaps, in reality, I already had. At this moment, I found comfort in this stolen embrace. She was mine, and that possessiveness startled me. I had always considered myself a composed and level-headed person, at least, the elders and others in my pack often remarked. Yet, when it came to her, I transformed into a lovesick teenager, abandoning reason and caution. I didn't know what she did to me, making me act like all the reckless acts of infatuation from everyone's younger days. Sneaking out of the backyard before an important exam just for the chance to meet sweetheart at a rock concert. Love has a way of making us vulnerable and breaking down the walls we build to protect ourselves. It can turn the calmest of individuals into passionate and impulsive beings. As I hel
The Cruel Alpha: Shouldn't Let You Go Chapter 57 Who Fucks You Better?
Keira POVThe only sounds in the wooden cabin were from panting and lustful water as Augustine's fingers stroked my clit quite aggressively.How could he do this to me? What could he possibly gain from the approaching forced sex, I thought as I bit my bottom lip to keep from yelling.He touched my entrance, rubbed it a couple of times, stuck his fingers in, and put it in and out slowly."Hmm? Are you protesting me, puppy?" He said in a low voice that included a touch of dissatisfaction, "Are you that unwilling to give me sex?" My nearly bleeding lips caught his attention."I'll fuck you till you scream." He said. I heard his chuckle jarring in the air as his fingertips erotically stroked my teeth."Ugh...." I'm almost about to let out a groan. Augustine straight thrust his large, thick cock into me."So tight...." He mumbled. His hand locked mine and the craziness in Augustine's eyes informed me his rationality had been burned to ashes with lust, drifting in the air and causing me to
The Cruel Alpha: Shouldn't Let You Go Chapter 56 How Was Last Night?
Keira POV The bite on my lip made it incredibly clear to me that Augustine was going crazy, but he had no business interrogating me. I opened my mouth to bite him on the lip hard as I considered what he had done. He stood there frozen, didn't think that I would bite him. And if he had to choose a culprit between us, he was perfect. "I'm no longer your mate! I've said it a thousand times!! Go to hell with you and your damn veto!" I never liked looking at him with my head held high. "No one will admit that," Augustine's chest puffed up and down as he appeared to be struggling to maintain control as he said, "Do you know how many females would like to be in your position?" "Should I then extend my gratitude for that? I'm not some pawn you try to manipulate by restraining me and then casting me aside when you become enraged. Let me reiterate, in case you haven't heard: I never wanted to be in your mate's position." For the first time, I thought that was good, to add salt to the wo
The Cruel Alpha: Shouldn't Let You Go Chapter 55 Did You Sleep With That Stupid Wolf?
Keira POVAs the morning sun filtered through my window, the melodious symphony of local birds serenaded me, rousing me from my slumber. I groggily turned around, expecting to find Owain by my side, but to my dismay, he was nowhere to be seen. With a heavy heart, I buried my face in the familiar comfort of my pillow, contemplating the events of the previous night.The haze of the evening still clung to my mind. Perhaps Owain is a drink stronger than any alcohol I had tasted before and maybe I was having a dream without thinking about the consequences. He transported me into a realm that granted me the freedom to indulge in my every desire. In that fleeting moment, I yearned to break free from the shadows that had long enveloped me, to escape and find the train that would carry me back home.Confusion lingered as I struggled to discern which addiction held a stronger grip on my soul. Was it the allure of the unknown, or the enticing taste of liberation that intoxicated me? Amidst the t
The Cruel Alpha: Shouldn't Let You Go Chapter 54 Do You Like That?
Keira POVI stumbled into the cabin, her thoughts in disarray. I had always told MYself not to care about Augustine and forget everything I saw, but now it was all I could think about. As she closed the door to her room and collapsed onto the bed, the scene of Augustine and Rhoda together kept replaying in my mind. Was I jealous or just sad that he had cheated on her? I couldn't tell which of his words were lies, and I had no idea what he and Rhoda were doing now."Keira, are you okay?" Owain's voice came through the door, and he knocked softly. "Can I come in and see you?"Taking a deep breath, I wiped my tears and tried to compose myself. I didn't want Owain to see her like this. "I'm fine," I said, trying to sound steady, and hurriedly opened the door.Owain entered the room and gave me a hug, "It's okay, Keira, it's okay. I understand how you feel; it's okay to feel that way. Since you are his mate, it's okay to feel envious or angry at this point. Since ancient times, the moon an
The Cruel Alpha: Shouldn't Let You Go Chapter 53 He Wanted Her
Third Person POV As Keira and Owain make their way towards Augustine's cabin, the sun sets behind them, casting a warm orange glow on the road. Rhoda was still hanging to Augustine and enjoying the thrill of Keira's disguise. Rhoda was attempting to remove his pants while rubbing against his waist because she was aware that Augustine was enthralled by her. "Oh, Augustine!" Rhoda was so excited and screamed that she unintentionally touched the wine bottle that was resting on the sofa table as Augustine's big hand gently went down and grabbed the base of Rhoda's leg. Instantly, the whole room was filled with the sinful scent of alcohol. Keira and Owain, who had already arrived at the wooden cabin door, were startled by the sound of smashing glass. "What's wrong—" Owain lowered his hand that was trying to knock on the door and cast a suspicious glance at Keira. Keira motioned for him to stay quiet and lead him towards the window. What they saw shocked them both to the core
The Cruel Alpha: Shouldn't Let You Go Chapter 52 If She Was Pregnant This Time
Keira POVI was strolling aimlessly down the street with my head down, lost in thought when a sudden realization hit me like a punch in the gut. Augustine didn't really love me, and he was using his power to keep me tied to him. How could I escape him?Lost in my thoughts, I didn't even notice Owain walking to me until he grabbed my shoulder, "Keira! I was worried about you. You didn't come back. Is everything okay?" He asked.I nodded. Maybe."Let me walk you back to the cabin," he said. "I need to talk to Augustine about something later.""What? With Augustine?" I asked incredulously."Yes. Indeed, all packs conduct business with one another, and our current contract is about to expire.""Okay, I'll go with you." Because of Augustine's temperament and nature, I couldn't help but feel a bit nervous that he might take his anger out on Owain. Those around a person who lacks good temper control would suffer as a result.Owain must have noticed my apprehension because he spoke softly to

Third Person POV After Silas Ruffini sent the elders back to the wood cabin, he returned to the meeting hall and walked into a conference room without even knocking. All three males in the room turned to look at him. "Where's Augustine?" The dark-haired guy asked, his brow furrowed. "Off to chase his little mate. Can you believe he's actually head-over-heels for someone?" Silas ran his fingers through his long blonde hair and shut the door, a wicked grin on his face. "But he's too merciful. You gotta fuck her until she falls in line, right Nash?" "You scared her last night," the dark-haired guy said, his eyes devoid of any kindness. "Even if she tried to escape." "But you gave her a chance to run, didn't you?" Silas lowered his head and removed the ruby brooch, running his thumb over it. "Tonight, it's your turn, Nash." None of the guys in the room found their conversation topic inappropriate. Suddenly, someone's phone rang, and Theo, sitting in the corner, answered it. His l

Keira POV"He's just crazy! Are you okay, Keira?" said Owain, looking at me worriedly."I'm fine." I forced a smile, Augustine was the math problem I would never be able to solve, that I would never be able to guess what he would do next. And there was only one way for me to get out of it all, and that was to let it go completely.If a good girl is at a disadvantage in a relationship, what should she do? Especially when he smiled like victor and looked down on you? She better jump off the scales, get off balance with each other and jump out of the relationship. How should I do that? I thought as I watched Augustine's back.A minute later, the lights around the podium came on. Everyone fell silent and I heard a male's voice next to me whisper, "It's about to start, I wonder who's the new guy that joined. He must be someone powerful."My eyes followed the lights to the podium, where an elder of the committee stepped forward and said, "We must acknowledge the dark periods of our shared h
