All Chapters of Alpha Clinton: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

RUBY.My eyes snapped open to the sound of knocking on the door. I stretched my arms and let out a groan as every part of me ached, as though my bones had been crushed.I tried to sit up on the bed but fell right back on it, a tired sigh escaping from my lips.The knock came again, and I groaned. I wanted to lay back down and pretend I hadn’t heard it. It could be one of the hotel staff wanting to clean, and if they didn’t get a response, they’d probably assume I was asleep and come back later.But then again, another knock came, and I knew I could no longer ignore it. I rubbed my eyes to clear the sleep away, and a yawn escaped my lips.“Give me a minute, please,” I called back to whoever was knocking.Trying to get up from the bed, I was hit with another wave of pain. But after taking a deep breath, I tried again and managed to get up.And that was when I realized I was naked. My cheeks flushed with embarrassment as memories of the previous night surged back—Clinton and I had spent

CLINTON. I lay in bed, trying hard to fall asleep, but I couldn’t. My mind kept drifting back to the conversation I had had with Ruby after breakfast.I wanted to tell her that I was falling for her, but she didn’t want to listen. I couldn’t pinpoint exactly when I realized I was falling for her. Was it the first day I saw her, or when Gamma Eric mentioned that Beta Asher had told him I was in love? I wasn’t sure, but does it really matter? What matters is that I love her, and I’ve realized it now.I had believed all this time that she was beginning to like me more, but was I wrong? Was I too blind to read between the lines?The urge to slam my head against the headboard was overwhelming, but one look at her peacefully sleeping beside me made me hesitate. The last thing I wanted was to disturb her rest.She looked so peaceful while she slept, as if she had no worries at all. I wondered what might have happened if she had listened to our conversation. Would she have accepted my feelin

RUBY.Moments later, I sprawled across my bed, with Kiara lying at the foot, her hands propped beneath her chin.Clinton had left without a word after he dropped off my luggage. I couldn't blame him because, after all, I wouldn't have if I were in his position.Because I knew how to hold a grudge.That time I woke up after having a nightmare, I had left our hotel room in search of him because I didn't want to remain there alone. When I closed my eyes, all I saw were those creepy creatures and the image of my mom in that cage. If not for the fact that I attended my mom's funeral, I would have believed it was a vision or something of that sort because of how real it felt.I met Clinton on a call and waited until he was done before I approached him, but then something caught my ear. Whoever he was talking to said something about a funeral, and it was only then that the word Oakwood Pack registered in my head.Alpha Frederick wasn't buried yet.That tiny piece of information was enough to

RUBY. “I just told you not to tell anyone that we're dating, and you agreed to it with a smile.” His hold on me hardened, just like the way his chin twitched in anger. “Tell me, is everything a joke to you? Don't you feel bad that I don't want you to announce our relationship?”I barked out a laugh, my left hand moving to cover my mouth to muffle the sound, but I ended up bending low as saliva went flying. Oh, Goddess.Why was he so hilarious?I cackled more and more until I felt my sides burning. I stood erect to find him watching me with his arms folded across his chest, the anger on his face gone. “Did I say something funny?”I nodded a little too much, the urge to throw back my head and laugh again in his face so strong that my chest tightened. Lifting my right hand to my chest, I tapped on it until the ache disappeared.“Yes, you're too funny.” I smirked. “You should be given an award as the best comedian, honestly.”A low growl rumbled in his chest as he inched closer. He til

Finding proof was more difficult than I expected. I spent countless hours searching, but every lead seemed to slip through my fingers. It felt like I was chasing shadows, with nothing concrete to hold onto. The harder I tried, the more elusive the evidence became. Frustration began to set in, but I knew I couldn't give up. The truth was out there, and I was determined to uncover it, no matter how challenging the journey might be.I first began my search in the kitchen, going over the ingredients I had used in preparing that milkshake that day, but of course, it had been taken away. I didn’t know why I even expected it to remain there.Next, I went to the late Alpha's room, but there was nothing there that seemed suspicious. I ransacked his room and made sure no one noticed I was there because the last thing I wanted was for someone to find me and question my actions.I was checking his bed when I heard footsteps approaching. My heart began to pound as the thought of getting caught rus
