บททั้งหมดของ One Night with Alpha: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

Ethan GreenwoodIt was hard to explain the sensations Mia made me feel. With her pressed against the wall, so close that I could feel the heat of her skin, my hands firmly placed beside her head, creating an impenetrable barrier. Our breaths were uneven, interrupted by the desire that hung in the air around us. I watched her, every detail of her expression, from the fear in her eyes to the slight tremble of her lips. There was something about her that awakened a primal need in me, something I had never felt with anyone else. She was different, and that irritated me as much as it attracted me.The smell of this human was intriguing. My fingers clenched against the wall beside her head, fighting against the impulse to touch her. I felt torn between the part of me that wanted to protect her and the part that wanted to claim her for myself, without thinking of the consequences.An Alpha doesn’t let himself be carried away by feelings, especially by a human. But there was something in Mia

I let out a long, controlled sigh as I watched Esther, my younger sister, arranging her bags in the room. Despite being siblings, there were moments when I forgot how relentless she could be, her temperament often mirroring my own."Did you have to make that scene?" I asked, crossing my arms and staring at her seriously."What scene, Ethan?" She turned around, raising an eyebrow with a hint of challenge."That thing you did in front of Mia," I replied, trying to keep my tone controlled, but unable to completely hide my irritation.Esther looked at me with that analytical gaze that always made me feel like I was under a magnifying glass. "She's human. I just found it strange, Ethan. You never brought women into this house, which used to be our parents', let alone a human."I knew she was right. This house was sacred to us, a place that carried memories of our family, and I had always kept it closed off, even to myself. Bringing Mia here, letting her into my life and the house where we

Mia MillerI take a deep breath, closing my eyes and imagining how everything would be if this whole mess were different.I'm in the car with the father of my child, and his sister, praying that the wolves won't want to end me just because I'm invading their territory.I never imagined myself in a situation like this. It all seemed like a fantasy."We've arrived," Ethan announces as the car stops. We're in front of a dense forest area. "Welcome to Estes Park.""Is this a reserve?" I ask, observing everything around."Yes. We've lived here, werewolves have hidden here since we settled in Colorado," Ethan replies, his voice full of conviction."And... how does no one know you exist?" My curiosity is stronger than my fear."Simple, Mia. With the right people, you can hide even the worst of secrets. We're careful. When we kill, we hide the bodies," he says seriously, freezing me for a moment."Excuse me?" I say, incredulous."Just kidding," he responds, with a cold smile as he gets out of

Ethan GreenwoodThe trip back was quieter than I expected. Mia was visibly disturbed after the confrontation with Amber and the strange events from the night before. But as much as it bothered me, I had more urgent matters to take care of. Nick had mentioned something about the investigations, something that could change the game.As soon as we arrived in the city, Lorenzo ran straight into Esther's arms, and she welcomed him with a warm smile. That gave me the time I needed to take care of what truly mattered. Nick was waiting for me, as promised.“Mia,” I called as she prepared to head in another direction. “You’re coming with me.”She blinked, surprised. “Where to?”“To see the bar’s accounts. It’s time for you to start understanding how things work around here.”She hesitated but didn’t argue. She knew that when I made a decision, there was no turning back.“Okay.”As we walked together to the office, I felt that something was different about her. Mia, usually so talkative, was un

Mia MillerI approached the window, trying to get a phone signal to check on how my son was doing, but without success. There was no signal in this godforsaken place. The frustration built in my chest, making me even more anxious. Lorenzo was the only thing I could think about at that moment."I've already told you, he's fine," Ethan's voice pulled me out of my trance, his calmness contrasting with the storm inside me.He walked to the bathroom without waiting for a response, and I felt a wave of discomfort. I didn’t want to be alone with him, especially here, in such an isolated place with so many mysteries surrounding his life. That alone showed me how weak I was when it came to him, how his presence affected me in ways I didn’t want to admit.My eyes landed on the bedside table, where there was a closed bottle of wine and a solitary glass beside it. I didn’t even know where the wine was from, but I knew I needed it. My mind was overwhelmed, and I felt an urgent need to relax. Maybe
