All Chapters of The Alpha Who Betrayed Me: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Bella's POV The next morning, as the sun began to cast its warm glow over the pack house, I decided to gather everyone in the main hall. The pack members gathered, curious expressions on their faces, and Asher stood by my side."Good morning, everyone. I hope you all had a peaceful night," I began, scanning the attentive faces before me. "I have an announcement to make."Whispers circulated through the crowd as anticipation filled the air. I took a deep breath, my eyes meeting Asher's for reassurance."We've decided to stay here for a few days, and during this time, we'll be hiring packhouse workers to help maintain and run things smoothly," I declared.Asher nodded in agreement, and I continued, "We want this place to thrive, not just for us but for all of you. A home where everyone feels welcome and supported."The crowd erupted into murmurs, and I raised my hand to quiet them. "Spread the news. Anyone interested in working here or contributing in any way, please come forward. We'r

Arabella's POVAnxiety gnawed at my insides as I entered our room, my eyes scanning the space for any clues. The remnants of Asher's hurried departure were scattered across his desk. Papers hastily pushed aside, a pen abandoned mid-scribble. The room felt emptier than before.I hesitated, contemplating whether to call him or wait for his return. But the suspense was killing and I decided to take action. Grabbing my phone from the bedside table, I dialed Asher's number, my fingers tapping nervously against the device.The phone rang multiple times, each ring echoing but it never went through. My worry deepened as the call remained unanswered, and I couldn't shake the unsettling feeling that something was amiss.Frustration welled up as I ended the call, deciding to send a text message instead. My fingers flew across the screen, typing a message that conveyed both my concern and the need for his immediate response."Asher, where are you? Something's happened, and I need you. Please call

Arabella's POVThe room seemed to tighten around me as Jeremy's request hung in the air, a chilling proposition that sent shivers down my spine. My eyes locked onto his, searching for any trace of deceit. "Why do you need my blood?" I demanded, my voice unwavering despite the unease settling in my gut.Jeremy chuckled, a sound that danced on the edge of arrogance. "Let's just say it's a form of insurance. Knowledge comes at a price, Arabella."I exchanged a wary glance with Asher before returning my focus to Jeremy. "No, Jeremy. I won't give you my blood. There has to be another way for us to work together."His expression darkened for a moment, and I braced myself for a potential confrontation. "Arabella, I don't think you understand the gravity of our situation. The rogue killer is just the tip of the iceberg. There are forces at play beyond your comprehension."I stood my ground, defiance in my gaze. "I won't be manipulated, Jeremy. If you have information about the rogue killer,

Arabella's POV"We've been at this for hours, Jeremy. We need a break," Asher insisted, looking at Jeremy who seemed to not feel tired like us.Jeremy's eyes flickered with something that made me uneasy. "Like I said, we do not have time!""Can you at least tell us why it's so urgent?" I implored, my patience wearing thin. "We've been following you blindly, but you haven't given us any concrete information yet. Just some book that we can't even find."Jeremy hesitated for a moment, and I could see him taking a breath before facing me. "All you need to know is we have to find this book and find your brother fast. No more questions!" Asher sighed, running a hand through his disheveled hair. "Fine, but we can't keep going like this. We're exhausted. Let us rest, and we'll resume in the morning with fresh minds."Jeremy hesitated, his eyes flicking between us. "Alright, but make it quick. We can't afford to waste time."Relieved, Asher and I made our way back to our room. Sending the mai

Asher's POVAll of a sudden it began to rain heavily and we decided to go back inside.As I approached the entrance to our home, I noticed the lights were turned on. Thinking it was Jeremy, I ran in.Entering the living room, my eyes widened in disbelief at the scene before me. Jeremy stood there, his soaked figure revealing that he was in the storm outside. Yet, it wasn't the rain that held my attention, it was the limp form of Arabella he cradled in his arms."What the hell happened?" My voice came out, filled with shock and anger. I glanced between Arabella's unconscious form and Jeremy's stoic expression."She fainted," Jeremy explained calmly, his eyes meeting mine. "I found her like this outside. I didn't see you, so I brought her in."I could feel the heat rising within me. "Fainted? Why was she outside in the first place?""I don't know. She was just standing there, and then she collapsed. I did what I could to get her here quickly." "Call for the nurse. Now." My command cut
