All Chapters of The Alpha's Halo: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Nothing was more annoying than knowing that I had the ability to heal myself, yet I feared doing that lest somebody would be suspicious. Xander had been babying me ever since he took me home two days ago. Even when I wanted to shower, he was there to help me out. Honestly, I was thankful for the way he treated me because the least effort made me exhausted. “Do you need anything?” he asked me as he put a tray full of fruits on the coffee table in front of the couch I was lying on. Although Carla was in the house, helping us whenever we needed her, Xander still preferred to pamper me himself. “Thank you.” I flashed him a wide smile. He sat down on the couch too and put my head on his thigh. “You’ve been sitting around for two days. Don’t you have duties?” I wondered as he reached for my hand and kept playing with my fingers. “Nothing urgent and,” he bent down and pecked my lips, “can’t I pamper my baby girl?” My cheeks reddened a little when he said tha

“We need to be alert more than we already are,” Jorah said as we walked to my car. “These attacks aren’t random.” “And they’re all related to Ayla one way or another,” I pointed out. Knowing that there were people out there who were trying to hurt my mate made me break out in cold sweat. “The warrior was targeted while he was running his investigations on her attack.” “I think she shouldn’t be left alone.” I agreed with my Beta. If she was in danger, then I had to make sure that she had people protecting her all the time. I wasn’t going to lose her after all of what happened between us. “I’ll make sure to choose the best warriors to guard her,” he told me. I loved how he always wanted to ensure her safety. Things between the two of them changed for the better; I liked the friendship they had and how he was protective over her. “I know you’re busy, but I need you to resume training her on her own for an hour or two daily. I want to strengthen her,” I r

When I walked away from Ayla, I made my way to the woods. I transitioned and ran for so long. Until I was out of breath and my feet burnt. My anger blinded the hell out of me that I blocked the mind-link between the two of us. I didn't want to be in contact with her. She didn't trust me. I did my best to show her how much she meant to me and that I regretted everything I had done to her, yet she didn't trust me. Perhaps my love wasn't enough. She needed something more from me. Something I didn't know. It was hard for me to sleep without her in my arms the first night. I kept tossing and turning the whole night and only fell asleep around five in the morning only to wake up two hours later. When I woke up, I debated going back home, but I still wasn't ready. Rowena and Dinah assured me that she was okay though. On the second day, I buried myself in work, trying to block her away from my mind, but it was hard to do that when her name flashed ten times on my phone scree

We reached our house, and I was surprised when I found Dinah and Rowena already there. I closed my eyes, trying to numb the pounding in my head. Was I just attacked in my household? Was there any place where I could sleep safe and sound? “What’s this blood? Is this your blood? Why aren't you healing?” Dinah frantically asked me. I couldn’t find my voice to speak. “She’s going to be okay. A doctor is coming to check on her,” Melanie assured them. “Xander, put her on the couch,” Rowena told her brother, who was still holding me in his arms. I closed my eyes, feeling exhausted. I wanted to escape from everyone around me. I just wanted to be left alone. I felt my body being laid on the couch. My eyes were still closed. “Ayla, babe… can you hear me?” Xander’s voice was full of worry and fear. “Can somebody bring me ice?”  Why did he need ice? I felt him press the piece of his torn t-shirt on the wound on my neck and I winced. “Sorry,”

I wasn't surprised when I found out that Sorrel helped the rogues. I had never liked her and not once had I felt comfortable in her presence. “Let's go,” Xander told Declan, then he turned to me. “Do you want to come?” he asked me and I immediately nodded. The three of us headed out and I looked around me to search for the guards, but they weren't seen. “Where are the guards?” I asked in a quiet voice, making my way to Declan’s car. “They were killed,” Xander answered me, and I looked down. Another death because of me. “Ayla, we won’t be taking the car. It’s a not so long walk,” he added. I frowned but followed them anyway. I was about to see one of the men who attacked me. That was scary to an extent. I didn’t know how, but I found myself walking between Xander and Declan; it was like they were protecting me. “I wish I could tell you I can handle myself, but I think last night refuted that,” I commented on how they were guarding me, earning a
