All Chapters of Falling For My Basketball Alpha!: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Hailey’s POVI knew I was supposed to be angry at Paxton. He’d left me when we should’ve been together, kissed Nikki right in front of me, and hidden the truth about what he really was—a hybrid. All of that should’ve been enough for me to scream, cry, or demand answers. But I couldn’t.How could I?Paxton saved my life. If not for him, that aggressive rogue wolf would have ended me. But he didn’t hesitate—he fought for me. He protected me in ways Dimitri, my ex-fated mate, never had. While Dimitri claimed to care for me, he had never stood between me and danger the way Paxton did.As I looked at him now, the weight of everything he had done melted away, replaced by gratitude and a familiar warmth in my chest. It felt like the love we once had—my big-time crush on him—had come rushing back. When he smiled at me, I couldn’t help but smile back.But then, from the corner of my eye, I noticed someone approaching. A bouquet of flowers was cradled in his arms, but my focus wasn’t on the fl

Paxton’s POVI couldn’t stop pacing back and forth, my heart pounding like a war drum in my chest. My mind was a whirlwind of anger, anxiety, and desperation. Where the hell was Hailey? My jaw tightened, the tension in my body so taut it felt like I could snap at any moment. It had only been a few moments—a few damn moments—since I had left her in Greg’s care, and she was gone. Just like that. Vanished into thin air.I slammed my fist against the nearest wall, the sharp pain doing nothing to quell the fury raging inside me. Hailey was everything—she wasn’t just special; she was irreplaceable. And now, someone had her. Someone who knew exactly how important she was and what she was capable of. I had warned her about this, hadn’t I? Told her time and again that she was a target, that people would come for her because of her power. But Hailey—stubborn, fiery, unyielding Hailey—never listened.I turned to Greg, who sat slumped in a chair, looking as though he’d been through hell. His face

Hailey’s POVI woke up gasping, my chest heaving as though I’d been suffocating for hours. My eyes fluttered open, and for a moment, I was paralyzed, unsure if I was still in the nightmare or awake. The dream—no, the vision—still clung to me like an unwelcome shadow. Who was that woman who claimed we were one and the same? How could she say I was a witch, a healer, and a werewolf all at once? My mind reeled as I tried to make sense of it all.I rubbed my temples, trying to shake the confusion. My body felt heavy, as though weighed down by invisible chains. Then I felt it—the sharp sting of a needle embedded in the back of my hand. I glanced down and saw the infusion drip attached to my wrist. The needle’s point dug painfully into my skin, the area around it bruised and tender.The sight of it brought a wave of nausea, not because of the pain but because it symbolized how powerless I was. I lay there, staring at the ceiling, my throat raw from hours of shouting for help that no one ans

Paxton’s POVThe weight of Haley’s lifeless body in my arms felt heavier than any burden I had ever carried. Blood seeped from the wound in her stomach, a horrifying reminder of how close I was to losing her. Her once-glowing eyes, now dim and fluttering shut, haunted me. "Haley, stay with me!" I pleaded, my voice shaking as I navigated the dark corridors of the dungeon.I glanced down at her pale face. She looked up at me, weak but still managing a faint, almost resigned smile. My chest clenched. She was losing her strength—her light—and it was my fault for failing to protect her.Each step forward felt like a battle against time. The smell of damp stone and blood clung to the air, and my own heart raced like a drum in my ears. Just as I reached the foot of the stairs, we were ambushed. Mr. Williams' guards appeared from the shadows, blocking our path.Before I could even react, Haley’s body pulsed with light. A radiant energy surged from her, illuminating the dark hallway like a sto

Hailey's POVThe D-Day had arrived—the day I’d been waiting for. Today was my graduation, and nothing could dampen my excitement. Well, almost nothing. A tiny pang of unease crept into my joy as I remembered one glaring fact: Paxton's mother would be returning soon. The mere thought of her made my stomach churn. That woman was a walking storm cloud, and no matter how much I tried to ignore it, the tension her presence brought was impossible to overlook.Still, I refused to let that ruin my day. I had Paxton, and that was what truly mattered. The sound of my phone ringing broke through my thoughts, the loud chime echoing in the quiet room. Picking it up, I saw Mara’s name flashing on the screen.“Dress up, girl!” Mara’s cheerful voice burst through the line. “It’s our graduation day, and guess what? Jenny’s going to be there!”Her excitement was contagious. I chuckled softly before hanging up and turned my gaze toward the man sleeping soundly beside me. Paxton. His handsome face was re
