All Chapters of Alpha VS Alpha: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Sophia I waited in the office for several hours before Ricco and a few other vampires came to get me. They escorted me through the warehouse in silence. I debated making a move to escape but decided against it. Not only was I severely outnumbered, but I also didn’t have my wolf or anything I could use as a weapon. I needed to be smart and wait for the right opportunity if I wanted to be successful. I might need to earn Darius’s trust first in order for him to lower his guard and lessen his security detail on me so I could manage to escape. Ricco escorted me outside the warehouse, and I wasn’t surprised when I was greeted with the darkness of night. Darius did say we would be moving after dark. A black car was waiting out front, and Ricco wasted no time opening the back door before motioning me inside with his hand. I hesitated momentarily, wondering if I should comply, but ultimately decided to get it in the car. As I said, I needed to appear cooperative for now

Rider It had been almost twelve hours since Sophia went missing, and I was going out of my mind. Why the fuck did she agree to the vampire king’s offer? We found out after the fact that one of the prisoners had secretly passed a note to Sophia. The vampire king offered to release all the prisoners, including her mother, in exchange for her. I knew his intentions were bad, especially after the dreams Sophia had where he called her his queen. The thought alone caused red-hot rage to flow through my veins. I should have never let her come with us to the rogue camp. It was far too dangerous. She also somehow figured out I had put an extra team on her and managed to distract them long enough to get away without any of my warriors noticing. Goddess, she was infuriating. Even though I understood why she did what she did, I was still furious. Maybe furious wasn’t the right word to describe how I felt. My emotions were all over the place, and I mostly felt helpless. I wasn’t n

Sophia I just killed the vampire king. It took a while before that realization sunk in. Suddenly, I felt overwhelmed and dizzy. Rider must have noticed the change, because the second we locked eyes, he approached where I stood and put his hands on my shoulders. “You alright, Soph? You look pale,” he asked, his voice laced with concern. I didn’t respond right away. Instead, I stared into his dark eyes, wishing things could have been different between us. I had suppressed my emotions over the past few days because of everything, and it was finally catching up with me. The dam inside my heart holding me together was threatening to crumble. I hated myself for even considering giving everything up and trying to become who Rider wanted me to be, but the thought did cross my mind. Call it a moment of weakness, but it still happened. Maybe the emotional breakdown that threatened to consume me was the reason I didn’t recognize myself anymore. Only a short time ago, I

Rider A week had passed since Sophia went home, and I was just as devastated as the day she left. I missed her more than I could have ever imagined and fought the urge to go to her daily—the things I would give for a chance to go back in time and fix my mistakes. Hell, at this point, I would prefer we went back to when she hated me, but not because I hurt her. The knowledge that I caused her emotional pain was the part that was eating me alive; I never meant for that to happen. I thought about begging her to take me back, but I knew she wouldn’t. Maybe she could have forgiven some of my mistakes, but the one I knew sealed my fate was when I made her feel like she wasn’t good enough for me. It wasn’t what I meant to do, but I could see it now that I was looking at things from her perspective. That was the worst thing I could have done to someone I cared about. I didn’t try contacting her because of what she said to me that day. “If you care about me at all, Rider, you’ll r

Rider 6 Months Later Six long months passed, and my heart still ached from the rejection. My mother said that whatever I felt now had nothing to do with the mate bond. When Sophia accepted the rejection, the pain from our bond would have faded over a few weeks, and that meant that whatever I felt now was real. I already knew I had real feelings for Sophia, so what my mother said didn’t surprise me. I just wished I had figured out how much I cared for her before it was too late. It was almost comical how much things had changed in such a short period. Everything I once thought was important to me no longer was. I didn’t care about the alpha title or my position in the pack anymore. It just wasn’t the same without my mate by my side. I kept myself busy on the training field most days, so I wouldn’t obsess over everything that happened. I still did sometimes, but not nearly as much as I would if I didn’t distract myself. Today, I spent almost four hours on the traini
