All Chapters of The Alpha's Love: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"Stop staring at me, Cassa, and finish your work," he grunted, his annoyance sharp enough to cut through the air. His words hit me like a slap, and I felt the heat rise to my cheeks for the second time that day. Embarrassed, I straightened up and focused on my task, desperately trying to ignore the flush creeping up my face.I leaned my head against the cool window, hoping it might soothe the heavy drowsiness weighing me down. The evening had stretched on endlessly, and he’d made it clear we weren’t leaving until I was done. My stomach growled, a harsh reminder that I hadn’t eaten all day. Where were we even going? We’d passed the turn to his house a while ago, and now the car sped along unfamiliar roads. I sat up, my curiosity piqued. He must have somewhere in mind. At least the ache in my feet from those ridiculous heels had eased after a day of sitting. Small mercies."Should we go for a walk this time?" I asked, my voice tentative. I glanced at him—head tilted back against the hea

Cassa's POVJulius remained silent, causing me to glance at him. The moonlight streamed through the glass window, casting a gentle glow in the dimly lit room. I had forgotten to close the curtains that morning, allowing the moon's light to illuminate the space. Julius looked at me as if seeing me for the first time, and a crease formed on my forehead."Did I say something wrong?" I asked, a hint of worry in my voice."No, nothing. I was just lost in thought," he replied, averting his gaze from me. "But how could your grandfather help me?"A smile spread across my face as I tightened my grip on my hand, resting it on my lap. I looked at the shadow of the window dancing on the floor. "If I ask for his favor, my grandpa will do anything, trust me. He has ways that you wouldn't expect.""But you know..." he trailed off, letting out a sigh. "If I had any other option, I wouldn't be foolish enough to share this with you." An annoyance laced his voice."Are you calling yourself foolish for s

Cassa's POV "Fine, you need to explain this," Evalyn muttered, walking away."You wait here until I sort it out," he said before closing the door. I heard his footsteps receding.I gripped the windowsill, feeling my strength waver, supporting myself to prevent myself from collapsing to the floor. I closed my eyes, trying to process what had just happened. The thought of Julius's sister tearing me apart sent shivers down my spine. Could it be true? And seeing the anger in her face made her words seem all the more real. What on earth had happened? It was as if I couldn't believe the situation I was facing, and I was now caught in the fury of his sister.I had been waiting for an hour, growing increasingly anxious about the conversation between the siblings. Were they arguing? Or something worse? I fidgeted in my seat, my impatience growing as I stared out the window. My mind wandered, contemplating the possibilities of what might be happening between them.My hand drummed on the surfac

Julius POVBut Allious wasn't convinced. He leaned back in his seat and explained, "Keeping her in your own home will ruin her reputation once it slips from anyone's mouth. Just because you trust your werewolf being, does that mean betrayal is unlikely to happen."His words struck a chord within me. He was right, but there was a vow I had taken, a secret I couldn't share with Allious. I knew he would lecture me if he knew the truth.I knew Kyle wouldn't do anything unless she was kept under his control, as long as she stayed by my side."I know, and of course, he won't do anything unless I let my guard down," I replied, my voice filled with determination.But Allious wasn't satisfied. He continued to study me, his delicate eyebrows furrowing as he tried to uncover the truth. "You are hiding something, Liu," he said, his gaze piercing. "That's what I'm trying to figure out here. The consequences it might bear in the long run."I remained tight-lipped, refusing to reveal the vow I had t

Cassa's POV"Seriously?" I raised my voice slightly, my hand clutching the handle of my bag tightly at my side."I'm not kidding," Julius replied, grinning, sitting in the library chair with a closed book in his hand. I stood in front of him, my frustration evident."You agreed to the deal. Why do you want to know why I look sad, troubled, or mischievous? Come on, what are you trying to get into?" I teased, trying to sound reasonable.Julius glanced at the historical book he had brought from the bookstore before we came to the library. I followed his gaze, my eyes landing on the cover—a woman's back facing the viewer, surrounded by soldiers. I scanned the bookshelves, realizing that most of the books were fiction, possibly historical ones.He raised his eyes to meet mine, the smile still lingering on his face. "I'm curious, that's all. You've helped me greatly on behalf of my cousin, and maybe I can help you with whatever it is."Help me with it? I stared at him for a few seconds, sig
