Lahat ng Kabanata ng Alpha Jax : Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

SCARLETT :My head was blank for a while, and I felt like I was back in the hellhole I was in weeks ago. My head stung bitterly from the migraine threatening to cut my thought process to smithereens.I opened my eyes to the familiar ambiance of the Alpha's office.No, Cage wouldn't have brought me here after telling me to stay away from the Alpha. Although my entire body ached with the need for rest, I got to my feet and made my way out of his chambers. It was still early, but the guards were outside his door with their usual grunting expressions. I'd give anything to see them smile or get mad. They were like programmed machineries.It was only a matter of time before Reyes and the rest of the staff resumed, and the Alpha, who rarely came to work that early, was obviously at the pack house.My heart thumped at the prospect of seeing him again after what happened between us the previous day. I didn't want to react to that man in any way. I just needed my freaking heart to understand me

SCARLETT :The noise outside the door grew rowdier. I stepped out of the water, grabbed a towel, and my phone to text Sophie.Scar: Hey!I texted her, waiting so long that my lower teeth dug into my lower lip, thinking it might bleed. I would have called, but I was too scared to speak in case the boys realized there was a girl in the bathroom.Soph: ... Sup.Scar: I'm trapped in the steam bathroom for trainees.Soph: I'll get help.Scar: No, wait. Just come, there's a bunch of dudes outside, and I need you to distract them so I can get my clothes and leave.Soph: On it.I waited on the bench opposite the steam bath, hoping my twin would arrive in time. Suddenly, the murmurs increased, quieted down, and I heard footsteps fading away.I could finally breathe. The doorknob moved, and I proceeded to open the door."Soph—" I looked up and found whiskey eyes looking down on me, literally because the Alpha towered over me in size and height. "What are you doing here?" I seethed."Saving you

HARRISON CAGE :I was on my way to make a report to the Alpha, my old friend, when I collided with a woman who caught my attention by simply being there. Those who had known me since before I was born, or at least since my birth, would say that I fell for her because she reminded me of a certain person. Scarlett De Luca.After our brief encounter, I longed to see her again, to hear her voice at least. I had never cared much for another being until her. Words cannot describe the way she made me feel.Subtly, yet desperately, I would pass by the Alpha's chambers just to see if she would come out or something. I wanted to step in to catch a glimpse of her, but the Alpha's glare deterred me at first.I was content with seeing her leave work. I was content with Sophie rambling loudly about how cool Scarlett was to the Beta. I was fine until Logan captured her. That was when all my morale disappeared. I, a man who was said to never glance at another woman, not even once, was filled with rag

SCARLETT :"Can you stop?!" I groaned. "People are looking.""I'm only letting you go because my best friend is obsessed with you, and because you're Pet's twin.""I'm not a pet.""Anyway," Cage interrupted. "We're going for lunch. You can continue your meaningless banter away from the pack house staff. Imagine if this ends up in the national paper one day.""I'm okay with it. It's not easy being the only person who can put Big Rock here in his place.""Don't call me that," the Beta rejected."Stop calling me Pet, and I'll think about it." Sophie joined Cage and me. "If you'll excuse me, I have to go get lunch.""I'm coming," Beta replied."I don't think this is a good idea.""Me too," Cage replied."Then why is he coming?" I asked, bewildered."It's Zharn. He'll show up uninvited and get forgiven because he's the Beta. More importantly, he has great access to VIP places. Places people are too scared to invite me to because I have a grim face."I looked over my shoulder. "They're stil

SCARLETT :Lucinda had her back facing me next to her office chair. Her office was large, with the wall facing outside covered in clear glass so that no one outside could see what was going on inside, and the walls in the building were made of white concrete. In the center of her office was a four-seater, definitely good for sleeping, two two-seaters opposite each other, and a three-seater opposite the four-seater, all painted cream. The walls of her office, not the ones with glass, had all sorts of nature paintings around.She had actual roses with their thorns trimmed, along with other pretty flowers and a purple hibiscus. In contrast to the ambiance she owned, Lucinda was, well, unhinged for a therapist."Scarlett, dear," she turned to face me as if she had practiced the way she'd say my name upon my entrance. A small smile wisped around her mouth."Lucinda," I replied in kind."I was not expecting you until Friday. What troubles you?" She inquired, gesturing to the three-seater.Y
