All Chapters of The Alpha's Trapped Mate: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

In a few minutes, I found both bullets and pulled them out. I quickly pressed Neil's shirt against the wounds to stop any excessive bleeding that might occur. I looked up at Neil's face, and he seemed fine now—not as pale as a man with blood loss should be. I eased up on my pressure and checked the wound — no excessive bleeding, but strangely, the wounds had perfectly healed. There was no way this should be possible, yet I was seeing it with my own eyes. Neil was no longer bleeding; even the tiniest tear was nowhere to be found. It was as if he had never been hurt in the first place. I touched the spots where the bullet holes were supposed to be, to be sure I was not hallucinating, but it was smooth. Before I could withdraw my mind from its far places, Neil's arms curled around me. Yet again, I felt the rush of helplessness, the sinking yielding, the surging tide of warmth that left me limp. I didn’t know what to think — Neil's body close to mine as we sat on the floor; someone who wa

I tried not to cry after Lorenzo left, but I couldn’t hold back my tears. The fact that I didn’t know anything about Neil’s condition right now, or that Lorenzo had banned me from leaving the house, or that even if I died, it didn’t matter to Lorenzo, overwhelmed me. I kept shedding tears amidst my thoughts. I wrapped the sheets around me, holding them tight against me as I cried. Wasn’t it better to just die or dare to run away? Shouldn’t I have done that a long time ago?Just then, the door flew open and Lorenzo stepped in. I could feel his dreaded presence, but I didn’t look up.“Sit up,” his cold voice commanded, but I ignored him. He could do his worst; I didn’t care. It didn’t matter to me anymore. I didn’t know what he was back here to do. He already had me locked up in this room.“Amelia, I said sit up and remove your clothes,” he commanded again, and that was when the reality of what was about to happen dawned on me. Lorenzo wanted to force himself on me again. The thought mad

Amelia’s POVArms grabbed mine as I was pulled out of the water. I coughed out water and continued coughing as I felt warmth in his embrace, though my clothes were wet. When I was relieved from being underwater for some time, Neil helped me stand to my feet.“Are you okay now?” he asked, and I managed a nod.“We’re both wet.” He turned to look at the water stretched to infinity, and I followed his gaze; not even the slope that had launched us into the water was visible. “I’ll make a fire to get us warm. Stay here.”“Let me follow you.”“No, you’re wet, and you might trip. I won’t take long.”I nodded and let him go. “Please, be quick,” I said, a bit tense about being out here in the wild all alone.I heard the chirping of insects within the forest after Neil left as it started getting dark. A cold breeze brushed against my skin. I rubbed my arms in an attempt to keep myself warm from the unnerving cold, but it was useless. The biting cold made me so uncomfortable that I suddenly felt g

Amelia’s POVThe surface of the water in the small pool, decorated by beautiful flowers around it, was as smooth as glass, reflecting the light of the single lamp mounted on the wall. Sighing in anticipation, I removed my clothes and piled them on a wooden chair across the room. Carefully, I descended the worn steps leading into the water. The frigid water lapped against my calves, then traveled to my hips, my waist, and finally my shoulders as I reached the bottom of the pool, shuddering in the cold, but it felt so refreshing.I shivered in pleasure at the penetrating cold, letting my arms float in the buoyant water as I splashed it against my throat. As my body relaxed, my mind drifted from one thought to another.I wondered how Lorenzo would react to my sudden disappearance; if he would go all out to find me or if Neil would be in danger when Lorenzo discovered I was with him.But then my thoughts wandered to what it would feel like spending a night with Neil, uninterrupted. Instant

Lorenzo’s POVI kicked against the chair next to me as I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration. I stared angrily at the ruins of my once elegant penthouse as thoughts of my last hit on the Farem group flooded my mind. I had eliminated their godfather—whoever did that—and this annoying piece of shit, their capo, would be next. I would make sure I tortured her to death once I got my hands on her.Empty bullets and shattered glass lay everywhere as I stepped through the room. Instantly, I spotted a body on the floor move. A few Farem group members who had taken the risk of stepping into my house were roughly attacked and killed until we succeeded in wearing out the group. But I knew they wouldn’t stop there.Quickly, I stepped toward the body and grabbed him by the collar, pulling him closer to me, my rage taking control. He coughed out blood, more spilling from his mouth. His eyes were shut tightly, and I realized I should do whatever I had to because his life was already thin.“
