All Chapters of The Alpha's Mark: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Darius POV I was sitting in my office, trying my best to work. My mind wasn’t on pack matters, though. It was on her—Liana. Over the past days, every moment without her had felt like a hollow ache. I didn’t understand how she had become so deeply entrenched in my thoughts, but there was no denying it anymore—I was falling in love with her. Irrevocably. I tried to be away from her, hoping that the distance I created between us would make me forget her. But it did the opposite. My need for her only increased. There was not a day when my wolf, Onyx, forced me to meet her, go to her and see how she is. For four days I tried my best to soothe him, but every fucking night after pack matters, he would force me to shift and run to the forest to spend energy, and then come back to sit beneath her window. He was extremely concerned about her wellbeing. He hated how she was attacked by the rogue and berated me repeatedly for not taking care of her. The fact that she was living in a room adjac

Liana POV I was feeling so much better that night. The tension of the past few days had vanished after Darius made me see stars, and I just wanted to sleep. As I settled into bed, a faint rustling noise caught my attention. At first, I thought it was the wind outside. But then, I saw it—a snake slithering out from the shadows, its fangs glinting in the dim light.How did a snake find its way in my room? I glanced at the windows, which were all closed. And I always closed the door of my room when I went out. Unless—unless someone put it here deliberately. As werewolves we could heal fast and were more powerful than humans, but a snake bite could push us towards our death. We avoided places where we sniffed snakes. It was a universal knowledge and none of us played with things like it. So where the hell did this one come from? I screamed, my body frozen with fear as the snake lunged toward me. I barely managed to roll off the bed, grabbing a nearby chair to shield myself. My heart pou

Liana POV As I stepped back, struggling to process what I’d just heard, Darius turned to me, his face a mixture of anger and disbelief. “Liana, this isn’t true,” he said firmly, his voice low but urgent. “I never agreed to this. I don’t know where these rumors are coming from.”Before I could respond, Elara appeared, her face streaked with tears. Without hesitation, she threw her arms around Darius, hugging him tightly. “I knew you’d propose to me one day,” she said, her voice trembling with emotion.Darius stiffened, his eyes locking with mine over her shoulder. “Elara, stop this,” he said, his tone cold.But she clung to him, ignoring his words. The scene felt odd, and the crowd’s murmurs grew louder, out of excitement.Before the tension could escalate further, the music began. Elara seized the opportunity, grabbing Darius by the arm. “Dance with me, Alpha Darius,” she said with soft eyes, pulling him toward the center of the room.I stood frozen, watching as every pack member pre

Liana POV Surprise flickered on Nero’s face for a moment but he quickly masked it when he saw how Darius approached me. However, bowing to Darius, he left without looking at me. “What was he talking about?” Darius asked me.“He asked if I was interested in you?” He stared at me intensely. “And what did you say?” “You approached me before I could reply.”Darius chuckled. He held my hand, and danced to the music until we both were tired as hell. Then he took me to a private booth set up for the Alpha. Pulling out a chair for me, he said, “Let’s eat!” I chuckled as the omegas started serving us food. Darius made sure that my plate was filled with food at all times. “You really wanna get me fat!” I commented. “Well, not fat, but curvier,” he replied, giving me more dark chocolate pastry. I shot him a glare. He coughed his laugh and added, “There’ll be more of you, darling.” And I burst out laughing. We weren’t a couple in a traditional way, but we were behaving just like that. It w

Liana POV Rowan’s warriors had underestimated us by attacking us in a surprise move, but they paid the price. When the last of them fled into the forest, the tension in the air finally began to ease.Along with Darius, we all moved to the tree line where we would shift and wear robes. However, instead of going there, Darius’s wolf nudged me to follow the line of the tree with him. I wanted to resist, tired and wounded, but he sat on his fours, asking me silently to sit on him even though he was so injured. I couldn’t resist the temptation and sat on him, and he carried me deep inside the forest to an unknown place. Surprise flickered through me because we should’ve gone to the pack doctors and not come in the wild. Wasn’t this going to make us susceptible to more attacks? However, he stopped in a clearing and lowered himself for me to get down. As soon as I got down, I saw a bunch of omegas and Dr. Jody who had seen me earlier at the pack.Darius shifted back into his human form, hi
