All Chapters of ALPHA GOD: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

I lie in bed, enjoying the morning.Hermione is out of the room, leaving me in silence. I've been enjoying the peace before everything erupts into that craziness that will be escaping this place. Quite honestly, I'm not putting my faith in this working. I don't trust Damon all that much, even if he has been getting on my good side for whatever reason, and who knows if Shinee will be reliable. Especially convincing immortals to help.A knock rapts on my door, making me flinch. Without me calling out, the door opens, and Damon waltzes right in, a book tucked under his arm. He's dressed completely head to toe in white, matching those milky eyes of his."I bear gifts," he announces, as I pull myself up in bed, leaning back against my headboard. Thankfully, I decided to sleep in a night gown last night, and not completely bare.No way would I be able to look him in the eye again."I'm hoping it's the key to get out of this place," I say airily, although I already know there's more to it th

I'm mortified.Each piece of paper glares at me, my own eyes staring into my soul. No one has ever done anything like this, that I know of, in my long years. People paint pictures of me and hang them in churches to support their beliefs, but nothing ever so...personal. There is nothing in the way I'm portrayed here that would suggest a loyal follower. Here I'm hardly even modest."I can explain," Damon says lowly, his tone steady. I tear my case away toward him, anger bubbling up within me. How dare he make these. How dare he appear to me like anything other than a helpful acquaintance who only wants freedom from me. Not...whatever this is."Take me back, to my mate. You can explain in front of him," I say softly, turning to face him, not bothered as the paper crumples beneath my feet.None of this is right.Damon's jaw clenches, turning his back to me. Wordlessly, I follow him back through the small, secret exit, emerging back into the library. I breathe in the familiarity, the other

Damon. That fool. He must have gone out to get us food and failed. There's blood seeping from a crimson wound on his head, staining his white hair an ominous color. My throat turns dry, as the weight of the situation falls upon my shoulders.How am I going to save Damon without any of my power?There’s no remedy to this situation that comes to mind. Damon is set in front of me, utterly unconscious. Two of the girls linger around, waiting for me to summon powers from within me that don't currently exist. But I have to save Damon. I need to heal him because, without him, I don't know how I will survive down here. Maybe I can heal him with what knowledge of the body I have, but I'm doubtful that will do anything. "I can't, I'm not lying. Please, you need to get him a doctor otherwise he will die," I beg, feeling a cry rise in my throat. I refuse to let it spill out, but it pushes at me, threatening to burst out at any moment. I let that fuel me, to get me angry. Maybe I can get out of

Damon has finished his magical light show as I approach.Stalking across Shinee's backyard toward where Damon stands, looking out to the mountains in the distance, dusted with snow, stars sprinkled above the peaks. Ignoring the dew soaking my bare feet as I walk, I concentrate on Damon's back, a million thoughts streaming through my head. What did I just witness? It was like a beam going up into the sky, like nothing I've ever seen before.He hears my approach, glancing over his shoulder before I even have a chance to come to a standing point behind him. For a split second, his eyes are milky, before he blinks, and the color vanishes. He knows I saw, but doesn't jump to defend himself."What are you?" I hear myself say, although the sound doesn't appear to belong to me. I can't tell if I'm frightened or not.Damon loosens a sigh. "Aidana, what are you doing out here-""Tell me what you are, Damon. Are you contacting the Moon?" I question, looking up into the night sky, wondering where

It's not much power, but it's enough. Shinee moves almost instantly, not giving me much time to wrap my head around what just happened. He grabs me, lowering me back to the ground. The moment he does so, everything seems to resume back to normal, like he pressed some kind of button, restarting the world around us. The birds, the wind. It all goes back to the way it was. "What just happened?" I breathe, the moment my feet touch the ground. I can't help but shake, and not out of fear for the fact that I just fell from the tree, purposefully or not, but the fact that Shinee caught me, and not with the strength of his body, but with magic. He doesn't respond right away, his face void of all healthy colors. He looks shocked that he reacted in that way, with magic I haven't seen him use yet. But I knew he would save me, in whatever way that would be. "You fell. I don't know, I just reacted," he breathes. I can feel the shock, as he takes a few steps away from me, like he expects me to
