All Chapters of Caged Between The Alpha And The Vampire: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

[Nivera’s POV]I stirred in my sleep, sweating profusely even though the air conditioner was on as I was busy having a terrible nightmare; one in which Lucien was the devil and I was being taken advantage of by him.“You’ll forget about what happened here tonight. You’ll only remember falling asleep after having dinner,” he said to me, and like that, I woke up with a start.I sat on the bed immediately my eyes flew open and began to gasp for air as the nightmare kept replaying in my head. Why had it all seemed like it was so real when it had only been something I had dreamed about?I muttered a prayer to the Moon Goddess, then stood up and walked over to the window where I stood for several minutes, watching as the moon slowly disappeared into the sky, giving way for the sun to come out as morning was already upon us.I don’t know how long I had slept, but it sure didn’t seem like a long time as my legs were sore and my body ached all over. Perhaps, I hadn’t slept in the right positio

[Tyler’s POV]I kept stealing glances at her, unable to take my eyes off her ever since we had set off on our journey back to the Crescent Pack.“Careful. Don’t make us crash,” she warned, motioning at the abandoned vehicle that was lying in my path.I quickly turned my attention back to the road. A lot of thoughts were going on in my mind, and I had a lot of questions to ask, but I didn’t even know how to begin the conversation. She just sat quietly, staring out the window and not paying me any attention.“Why?” I finally asked.She turned to face me slowly. “What do you mean?” she inquired.“Why did you save my life?” I asked. “Don’t say it’s because you felt obligated to since you’re my mate. I’ve been nothing but horrible to you, so why did you save my life?” I asked.She shrugged. “Perhaps, I would have felt relieved if you had died, but I would never have forgiven myself because I had a chance to save you. Besides, I was only returning the favour you gave me eight years ago,” sh

[Nivera’s POV]My eyes shut close the moment the Alpha stepped inside the bedroom and I pretended to be asleep, when truly, I had waited till he got back before deciding to go to bed.“I know you aren’t asleep,” he said in a husky voice as he stood directly in front of the mattress where I laid.I could tell he was staring at me with that piercing gaze of his and gave in, opening my eyes instantly and sitting up. “Good evening, Alpha Tyler,” I greeted.“Why did you pretend to be asleep?” he fired at me instead of responding to my greeting.“I thought you wouldn’t want to see me awake by this time of the night,” I replied.He said nothing in response and merely sat on the edge of the bed. “You know what tomorrow is, right?” he inquired.I nodded my head in the affirmative. “Yes, your highness. Tomorrow is the full moon, the day I would say yes to your rejection,” I answered, appearing unperturbed.He stared at me for quite some time before speaking again. “You don’t seem sad about it a

[Tyler’s POV]Since I could do so much as walk, I had always gotten anything I wanted. In any room I stood, I was the best. Whoever I wanted to crush and step on, I did. Whatever Pack I wanted to destroy, I did it. So, it wasn’t strange that I always expected things to go my way every single time, for me to be better than everyone else and for me to always bring my enemies to their knees.However, I experienced a setback like no other after setting off to go and find Nivera in order to kill her and make sure I was free from her. For the first time, I had met someone who I would admit to only myself that was better than me in every way I could think of. Height? He stood at four inches taller. Wealth? He obviously had much more judging from his expensive taste, huge mansion and luxury cars. Strength? I hated to say it, but he was better. For the first time in my life, I was brought to my knees by an enemy and not just that, I was made into a joke and tortured mercilessly to the point wh

[Lucien’s POV]As I put the bottle of alcohol on my lips, Celeste snatched it away from me and I looked up, throwing her an infuriated glance as if to ask her what her problem was.“Give it back,” I said, stretching forward my hand.She tossed it in the trash can and glared furiously at me, but it was I who should be doing the glaring. I ignored her and just stood up from the stool and went to the refrigerator to take out another bottle of the bitter alcohol.“Is this why you cut short our mission in Manhattan? To stay here and drink yourself to death like a poor pathetic loser?” she inquired, with an underlying tone of disgust.I ignored her and walked back to the stool, belching loudly.She frowned and looked like she wanted to puke. “Lucien, snap out of it. Forget about the alcohol and go and speak to your woman right this minute,” she said in a commanding tone, standing in front of me with her hands akimbo.“I don’t have a woman,” I replied, opening the bottle and taking a sip fro
