All Chapters of Area Alpha 101: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

CLAYTON'S POVWe were left alone for a few minutes before some staff came in and directed us to one of the lounges. If there’s anything I’ve learnt about castles, it’s that they tend to have more than one of each room.But something told me we wouldn’t be afforded a tour of this particular castle.Or at least not yet.“I guess I won’t be able to see this castle before we leave,” my mate commented beside me.I smiled. “I was just thinking the same thing.”We were told that they were bringing us food while we waited, and Azalea cuddled into my side, with Pixie doing the same with Bennett. “We’ll probably only get a tour once everything is said and done.”“I’m curious about something. If Brantley’s dad is a King, that makes him Prince of this place, right? If that’s the case, does that mean Cyrus becomes Grand Beta?” Bennett questioned.King Aragon had already asked Azalea and I about our Grand Beta situation, and at the time, we didn’t give him an answer because it was something that we

CLAYTON’S POVThe cave we were in was bright and surprisingly warm. The smell of lavender wafted through the place, and we watched on at the tension between the mates – both visibly longing to be in each other’s presence.I’d never before actually been fully in Simoa’s presence like I currently was. It wasn’t what I expected, and I definitely didn’t feel the chill that they say comes with being in her presence.If anything, I was blindsided by how normal she looked.She was wearing a simple black dress, and her black hair was left flowing down her back in waves. Aside from her dark makeup, she looked exactly like Simiyan, which is another thing I didn’t expect.King Brennus took a step towards her and she stumbled backwards. “I’m not angry at you.”“You should be,” she barely whispered.He shook his head. “I know you Simoa. I know there’s a reason behind everything you do. You wouldn’t shut me out without a good reason. You wouldn’t hide our son from me without a good reason.”A tear

AZALEA'S POVWe watched her, and she really looked like she was trying to remember. “You’re not going to remember.”“But it’s clearly important that I do,” she argued.I nodded. “That’s true, but it’s not just going to come to you.”“So, what then? What’s our next move?” she asked.“We stick to the original plan. Lea, King Brennus, and I will head back to the Lycan Kingdom to talk to King Aragon and make our move on rescuing Lea’s mom. You need to report to Eligor while we get King Hayes to get Brantley and Bentley to Advalur. We obviously can’t control what happens after all of that, but we’ll at least have the full team together,” Clayton explained.“He’ll expect me to fight on his side, despite the suspicion,” she pointed out.“And you will,” I stated.She raised an eyebrow. “I will?”I nodded. “You will. Simi’s going to be on our side, and for as long as she thinks you’re the enemy, she won’t back down easily. That means you can use your powers and fight, without Eligor picking up

It was one thing to hear a description of the creature, but it was another thing entirely to actually see it. Azalea and my father had already mentioned that it’s chilling to be in its presence, and I couldn’t imagine just how chilling it must be if we were creeped out from watching it on a screen.“When you said it changes faces, I didn’t imagine anything like that,” Titus commented.“It’s even more horrific in person,” my father commented.“Have you scanned the footage?” King Aragon asked Thane and Titus.Thane clicked on the other screen, loading some pictures. “We took screenshots of different scenes. There’s the painting that Zae was talking about. Your face is crossed out like she’d said. Everything else was pretty standard. We didn’t pick up anything out of the ordinary.”“This footage doesn’t really show us any dangers that lie ahead, so we’re just going to have to trust each other,” King Aragon stated.“From what I’ve seen, it looks a lot worse than when I was last there,” Ki

AZALEA’S POVWith the plan in place, my father, Clayton, and I headed towards the castle, while Greier, King Brennus, and Ugar stayed outside. I didn’t think it was possible, but the castle was even creepier than before.It dawned on me that I’d been close to my mother when we returned from Draxlar and I didn’t even know it. I doubt I would’ve been able to save her then, but the thought overwhelmed me nonetheless.“Are you ok?” my mate linked me.“I am. I’m just thinking back to when I was here,” I admitted.He reached out to hold my hand. “We’re here for you now Lea. You’re not alone in this.”I smiled, squeezing his hand, before my father broadcasted a link to us both. “While we don’t have much time, I think it would do us some good to properly scan the place. I can feel where Val is being held, but I want us to gather as much information about this place as we can. Are your cameras working?”We’d installed cameras on our armours. “They should be, but there’s no true way of telling.
