The Alpha Claimed Me Deeply novel Chapter 53

53

(Aurora’s pov)

My heart throbbed painfully as I looked down at the powerful alpha. My blood, it caused this. I can only imagine what it can do to any normal wolf. I was a monster. A killer.

“This bitch needs to die for hurting our alpha!” Beta Samuel roared, his canines flashing as his bright blue glowing eyes glared at m e deadly. He snarls as he fights against Eli and Chris.

Eli roared, pushing his Beta back by wrapping his fingers around his neck and with the help of Chris manages to slam Samuel into the far wall, away from me. Eli snarls, “She’s now our luna! Xavier just told you to leave her. So you will LEAVE HER!”

Beta Samuel looked furious that Eli and Chris were getting in his way again. He spat, his eyes still so cold and deadly glaring at me. “Alpha Xavier is still in a bad shape, he may not even know what he’s saying right now.”

.

“Which makes it even better to leave her until he wakes up fully. He has claimed her, her death alone would destroy him no matter if he hates her or not. Until then, you will not touch one single strand on her head. Eli snaps, impatience rolling off his tongue roughly.

Beta Samuel’s eyes narrowed down on Eli ” This is not your decision to make

“You’re right. It’s my brother’s decision, “Lily cuts in, her tone soft yet her eyes were deep with anger and betrayal. Lifting her gaze to mine she whispers.

“We will wait until my brother is awake. You’ll have our protection until then.” She nods curtly, tearing her gaze away from me quickly as though repulsed by the mere sight of me. My stomach wrenches at her actions and my gaze drop to the floor sadly.

‘I am the Beta of this pack, I will not answer to anyone else

Samuel started again, his rough and dangerous tone had me lifting my gaze back to settle on him. But as the words tumble out of his lips, Lily cuts him off with an edge in her voice. You may be Beta, Samuel, but you’re not our Alpha. My brother is. And if you d o anything to harm his mate, he’d not care that you’ve been with us for years.”

.

Samuel’s eyes flashed in pure rage, his eyes moving off Lily to glower at me. “You would protect a girl who has poisoned your brother?” He sneered in disbelief.

Lily’s chin tilt up, her eyes blazing with anger. “I will protect my brother’s mate until he tells me otherwise.”

Her gaze swiftly sweeps over to me, the anger replaced by saddened betrayal “She may have caused this but she’s still bounded to my brother. I’m simply looking out for him, I would not want to see my brother wallow in sorrow if his mate dies. I have seen him moum far too much as it is already. I will not see my brother in any more pain.”

Beta Samuel glared at Lily in vexation obviously upset that no one was on his side.

“She’s a

He started to roar again but it was Chris now who snarled this time. “Enough Samuel. Lily is right, we should wait for Alpha to wake up. We can’t be too hast on our decisions, not without him.”.

Canines flashing in fury, Samuel barks. “If all of you want to protect a monster then so be it. I’m not going to play any part in this. If so happens Alpha doesn’t wake up, it will be your fault. Not mine!” Pushing Eli away from him roughly, he pulls his arm out of Chris’s grip harshly, and glares at me one last time before storming out of the room.

It suddenly gets uncomfortably quiet, so quiet that I swore I can hear the pounding of my heart off the walls of the room.

I felt my eyes drift to Xavier, praying he’d wake up any second I didn’t care if he’d kill me the second he awoke, all I cared about at this very moment, was seeing his amber eyes.

And if that was the last sight I would see before I am killed, then so be it.

His chest is rising and falling gently, his breaths on the other hand is now more relaxed, as if he had fallen asleep. His brow twitches as if feeling pain inwardly. My heart grew heavy, hating that I put the most feared alpha this way just by him marking me.

“Bring her to the dungeon.”

The words were dead, no emotion, cold, unfeeling. Far from how it sounded just an hour ago, so different.

I snap my gaze to Lily, my stomach knotting as she looks at her brother and doesn’t spare me a glance.

“Lily?” Eli asked in confusion.

Lily tears her gaze from her brother and looks over at Eli blankly. “Bring her to the dungeon so she would not harm my brother

anymore. When he’s awake, he’ll give you further instructions. For now, I want her out of my sight.”

Her words are so cold that I felt a shiver run down my spine.

I press myself closer to the wall, wishing it would swallow me whole.

“Lily

Rodrick started, his eyes holding nothing but pity for me. But Lily shook her head and with more strictness in her voice, she grits out. “I want her away from Xavier, away from me, away from our people. We don’t know what else she can do just by standing there.

Her words hurt. But I understood her anger.

“Lily-” I said, finally finding my voice only for her to stop me with a voice that pierced my heart.

“Don’t. Just don’t right now Aurora. You’ve betrayed my trust, you’ve betrayed my brother.”

I roll my lips inside my mouth and pressed down hard, my sad gaze on Lily.

Chris who had stayed quiet, spoke up softly. “Are you sure about this Lily?”

Lily nods, her eyes not once sweeping over to me. My stomach drops but I know I deserved her coldness and whatever comes to me next. I should’ve told Xavier about the wolfsbane. I should’ve told him everything.

“Get her out of my sight,” Lily whispers, her voice cracking as she stares at her brother who grunts but doesn’t shift anymore.
