Semua Bab The Unclaimed Omega: My Alpha is a Nightmare : Bab 101 - Bab 110

“River," he began, “I… I was wrong. So wrong. And I have something to ask you, something that pales in comparison to the apology you deserve." He reached into his pocket, his brow furrowing in frustration. "Damn it, I should have come prepared."River couldn't help a playful smile at his childish nervousness. "What is it, Gonzalo? You're acting like a lovesick teenager who forgot his corsage for the prom."A smile touched his own lips. "This is far more important than a prom date, River. I want…" He paused, dropping to one knee and ephipahny hit River. Her mouth parted as she pictured the possibility of what he was about to do. She had no idea why she began to hear her heartbeat in her ears. He was going to…"River Sassalos," he declared, his voice ringing with sincerity, "you are the strongest, bravest woman I know. You are the true leader your pack needs. Will you do me the immense honor of becoming my mate, my Luna, and wife by my side?"She knew it! She was not prepare

Gonzalo could see the relief flooding River's face as she rushed towards him, wrapping him in a tight hug. Her breaths came out in ragged gasps, the type people who had just narrowly escaped death had. Well, had they not? “We're safe," she whispered, burying her face in his chest. Just when he was about to return the embrace, to bask in the glory of her scent and proximity, she pulled away with a hand finding Rain's head. The little girl, however, looked around with wide, curious eyes. "Where are we, Mama?" she asked with curiosity. River's hug tightened around Rain for a moment before she turned to Gonzalo with a question forming on her lips. He knew what she was about to ask, so he answered before she could ask. Even though his voice was still strained with the adrenaline of their escape, “This is Sofia's house," he explained. "She's a widow, a doctor who lost her husband to the rogues recently." He paused, remembering how Sofia had helped him in the aftermath of his two pac

Sofia had heard River’s whisper, all thanks to her heightened wolf senses. But the woman was weird. She acted as if she didn't hear the words and only beckoned them forward.“Take a look," she said, pointing to several marked locations. "These are rogue settlements within our borders. We've been gathering information, building a case against them."Gonzalo and River leaned closer, impressed by the detail and organization. "How did you manage all of this?" he asked, surprised."Like I said," Sofia replied with a wry smile on her lips. "If the Alpha won't take action, the pack has to take care of itself."River's eyes lit up. "That's beautiful. You've been planning a rebellion?"“More like a strategic movement of taking us out of this mess. It's not like we want to defy the Alpha or something.” Sofia replied, eyes still on the map.Gonzalo saw River's lips curved into a hopeful smile. "That's beautiful," she commented. "And much needed."The air grew serious as Sofia leaned forward. "Sp

Finally, dusk came, and Rain, who had obviously been listening to their conversation over lunch brimmed with excitement, bouncing excitedly.“Are we going to fight the bad guys tonight, Mama?" She chirped, her voice brimming with a child's innocent enthusiasm.Oh, Rain… River laughed to herself. Her daughter was always getting ahead of herself. She wanted to fight the bad guys. Imagine!She knelt before her, caressing her hair affectionately. "Not quite, sweetheart," she said gently. "There are still things we need to do before we're ready."Disappointment clouded Rain's face for a brief moment before her resilience shone through. "Okay," she succumbed, her chin held high. "But can I come with you when you prepare? I can help!"River chuckled, ruffling Rain's hair affectionately. "You've already been a big help today," she replied. "But tonight, you need to be a good girl and get a good night's sleep. Fighting bad guys takes a lot of energy, and we wouldn't want you to be tired in the

A gush of dumbfounded silence swept over the room. River stood tall, feeling all of their confused and pitiful gazes on her. They were wrong. She had no idea why she grew so protective when Echo was being judged wrongly. Perhaps, it was just her pain for also judging Echo wrongly for over seven years herself. It was because she had been too blinded by fury and revenge that she could not consider the fact that perhaps, it was a rogue throwing stones and toying with her and her sister’s memories. How couldn't she have figured it wasn't the real Echo? That the real Echo had been murdered? The betrayer whom she had loathed for years had been herself. She was the betrayer. She had betrayed Echo. Would her ghost ever forgive her? As she looked in front of her, looking at the responsibilities her parents and sister had left for her, River’s heart was overfilled with protectiveness. These were her people, even if they didn't recognize her yet. She had to convince them, for their sake an
