All Chapters of The Alpha’s Betrayal : Running with his Heir: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

BrielleThe morning after that strange dream, everything felt… different.Since Zadyre had woken up early and I was the only one in the room, I went to the mirror and stood in front of it, staring at my reflection. It was subtle at first, but I couldn't get rid of the nagging feeling that something wasn't quite right. My hair looked fuller and longer than it had been yesterday. The dark strands shimmered and it looked almost unnatural, it was thicker and silkier. I ran my fingers through it and the silkiness sent a strange shiver down my spine.But that was not the only thing. I felt different- I felt stronger. My muscles seemed more defined and my body was humming with energy- with an intensity I was not at all used to. I forced my hands in front of me, watching my muscles shift. The difference was evident enough for me to wonder what was going on, even though it wasn't sudden or big.My heart was hammering hard against my chest, and I could feel my nervousness rising with every pass

Brielle
My body shook as I clung to Zadyre, pressing my face against his chest. 
 
I didn’t know how long as I was there in his arms for until I fell asleep and started dreaming again. 
 
The dreams began as they always did. I was standing in the woods, the trees towering above me, their branches swaying the the direction of the breeze. The ground under me was cold and damp. And then, there it was- soft at first, like a faint whisper calling on to me.
 
“Come, come, come…”
 
My body responded without my permission and my legsstarted moving, taking me deeper into the woods. Everything was blurry around me, the shadows of the trees were stretching out to me like as if they knew me, like as if they had been waiting just for me. And then I felt a small warm presence beside me. 
 
I looked down and I saw it was Micha. 
 
He was standing beside me, his hand in mine and his sleepy eyes blinking up at me. His dace was calm and simple like he was having a beautiful dream. But something was wro

Brielle“Don’t worry baby, I’m here now. How you got here doesn’t matter,” I said to him trying to calm him down and he nodded. I dusted Micah off and sat him down gently against the tree as I went to talk to my supposed aunt. “What do you want from me?” I asked her. A smoke spread across her lips slowly but the smile didn’t reach her eyes. “It’s not what I want from you, my dear niece. It’s what I want for you,” she replied. I narrowed my eyes, my stomach twisting in knots. “I don’t even know who you are. You say you’re my aunt, but I don’t remember ever hearing anything about you. Why should I trust anything you say?” I shot at her. Her expression softened but it felt fake. It felt like she was just putting on a mask so I would trust her. “You were never told about me because your father wanted to hid the truth from you. He wanted to protect you, prevent you from finding out who you truly are and stay you are capable of,” she replied. What? My father didn’t even like me so wha

BrielleThe forest was more quiet than usual as I made my way to where I and my aunt, Selene always met. The woods were peaceful like it always was whenever I was around her, her presence was just calming.Everything around me seemed to fade into the background, like this part of the world was just ours. My aunt had a way of making the chaos in my mind go still, offering answers when I felt overwhelmed by the changes happening inside me.Beside Selene, was a young adult who my aunt introduced as my cousin and her name was Evanna, she stood with a grace that almost mirrored her mother’s. She was tall, with dark hair like mine, though hers was tied back in a sleek braid. She was about my age, maybe a little younger, and had already embraced the power in her blood long before I even knew of it according to what my aunt had said. There was something fierce about her, a quiet confidence I both admired and envied.I stood at the clearing where my cousin and aunt stood. Selene was wearing a

Brielle“Before you finally get over with them, first you must kill Micah,” Selene said as I finally entered her trance and all I could hear were her words. The knife glinted in my hand as I held it tighter and walked towards where Micah was. As I got closer to him, I could see how he was soundly asleep, unaware of what was coming for him. I tried to think but I could still fell the pressure in my head and Selene’s commanding voice. “Brielle, do it,” she whispered in my head. “This is the only way to become your true self, to become what you were destined to be. Let go of your weakness.”Zadyre’s voice reached me from behind, breaking through the haze for only a moment. “Brielle, stop! Please, don’t do this. This isn’t you. You know this isn’t you!”I could hear him talking but it felt so far away, it sounded like a mere whisper. I looked down at the knife in my hands and my vision started blurring. I could feel Selene’s grip on my mind getting tighter in my head as she dragged me d
