Through The Eyes Of My Alpha

Chapter 57

Through the eyes of my alpha Chapter 57

One Month Later RILEY She was still nowhere. I couldn’t find her. My hair had grown longer and so had my misery. I didn’t know how many nights I had skipped sleeping. And if I slept only because my body gave up. I spent my awake time looking for her, making calls, and visiting places I would never even imagine going to.

But there was still nothing.

I was slowly losing my stance, but I tried to put on a brave facade.

Behind closed doors, I was slowly crumbling.

Everything in this pack house reminded me of her.

And my wolf wasn’t making it easy for me either.

Hunter refused to come out, and we hadn’t had a full run for the full month.

And although he was with me, I felt terribly alone.

WA i The only thing that was keeping me sane was the thought that she was still alive.

That I haven’t felt any massive pain through our bond, and that she hasn’t been intimate with another man.

Despite losing her, she was still my driving force.

A week ago, I finally had the courage to face my people and informed them that their Luna had left and that there was a misunderstanding between us, but that I would do everything in my power to take her back.

But it had been a week after that and there was still nothing.

I didn’t know what to tell them anymore.

They wanted her back, and for the first time, I couldn’t give what my pack wanted out of me.

A knock on my office door snapped me out of my thoughts.

“Enter.

” I rested my elbows on my desk and palmed my forehead.

I didn’t want to stay in my office, but I had documents I needed to attend to, The door opened and Beta Dominic came in, closing the door behind him.

“I was trying to link you.

You turned off your mind link again.

” “I just needed a few moments of silence.

” “Are you okay?

” “You asked me that every day, and I was sure you knew the answer.

” Chapter 57 “You can’t give up, Riley.

” “I’m not.

It’s the last thing I would do,” I answered him, as I let out a deep sigh.

“You need to tell your wolf out.

He can’t sulk like that.

He can go feral.

” “He was more fucking stubborn than me.

” It was his turn to let out a deep sigh before he spoke again.

“Benedict Solange is here.

” “What?

Who?

” My brows furrowed.

Even if he had nothing to do with Nadia’s disappearance, I wasn’t sure I wanted to see him.

But maybe it’s for the best for my own peace of mind.

“He wanted to speak with you about Nadia.

” “Does he have information?

” “No.

He said he’s here because he wants to know where she is.

” “Let him in.

” “Are you sure?

” I just nodded my head and leaned my back on my chair and watched as my Beta left the office.

I stood up from my seat the moment the door closed and went to my liquor cabinet.

Bourbon has been a constant companion for me over the last few days, if not weeks.

But even if I kept drinking, it didn’t numb anything.

I could still feel the pain in every nerve of my body, and I have no fucking idea why I kept drinking.

I took out two whisky glasses and poured bourbon on them at the exact moment the door opened again.

“You can leave us,” I told my Beta and he acknowledged me before he left.

“Find a seat or just stand, whatever you’re comfortable with,” I told him as I handed him a glass of bourbon.

“Should I trust you?

” He asked me, after taking the glass from my hand.

“I’m your Alpha.

I would always protect my people unless they didn’t deserve it.

I should be asking you, should I trust you?

” “I can’t remember anything I did, particularly to you for you to doubt me.

” “Fair enough.

Why are you here?

” “Where is Nadia?

” “Luna Nadia.

” “Where is the Luna?

” Chapter 57 “If I know, then you won’t be asking that question.

” “What have you done to her?

If I come across as disrespectful, please pardon me.

But Nadia is very important to me.

And the fact that she’s not here means only one thing.

It’s either she didn’t want to be here or you threw her away.

” “And your point is?

” “I like Nadia.

Maybe more than you do.

” My brow hiked up with his words because he was fucking wrong.

“I waited for her to make up her mind to choose me over my uncle.

” “And all the while you waited, you floundered with different females.

Am I right?

” “I have my needs.

” “Point taken.

I still don’t understand what you want to get from this visit.

” “I will go straight to the point, Alpha.

I want Nadia.

If you’re tired of her, just give her to me.

We will leave the territory and you will never see us again.

” “And you think Nadia would want that?

” “A man can try.

” “And you think I would let you?

” “Tell me Alpha, why was she not here?

” I didn’t answer him.

Instead, I rounded my table and opened the drawer, pulling out the envelope with their pictures.

I took it out and showed him the one where he was holding Nadia’s jaw.

“Is this photo real?

” “Yes.

” “Do you own this picture?

” “No.

But I know who did.

It was shown to me months ago.

” I nodded my head before I took out the last one that broke my heart.

This picture – I didn’t show it to anyone.

“And this?

” I laid the photo on the table and I saw his eyes squinted.

Nadia was straddling him in what looked like a picture taken in an alfresco dining place.

Her arms were wrapped around his body while her head rested on the nook of his neck, and Benedict’s hand was resting on her upper thigh.

Nadia’s marked neck was visible.

It only means it was taken after I marked her.

Chapter 57 I would have wanted someone to scrutinize the photo if it had been tampered with, but a part.

of me didn’t want to show this intimate photo to anyone because I was terrified it would tarnish her reputation.

“No.

This one is a fake.

” He pointed his finger at it and I was glad that I didn’t need to ask him.

“It’s not you and her?

” “It’s me.

But it’s not her.

It’s of a different female.

I didn’t see Nadia after she was marked.

The first time I saw her again was in the conference with you.

” 2 I felt a big burden had been lifted off my chest.

Although I was willing to find and take Nadia back, regardless of whether the photo was real or not, a part of me was mourning at the thought of her being with someone after we met.

Even if they didn’t do any intimate acts, this scene was still too intimate for me.

“Don’t tell me you fought with her about this?

” “I don’t owe you any explanation.

” “With due respect, Alpha.

What is exactly your plan with her?

” “Again, I don’t owe you anything.

But because you clarified things about these pictures, I will tell you something.

Nadia is mine.

Forget any illusions or desires you might have for her.

There are other females who deserve your time and attention.

Leave my mate alone.

She’s mine.

” 1 2 3 ដង “They found her.

” Beta Dominic’s words kept ringing in my head. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

The last five weeks were a living hell.

I didn’t know how I was able to survive and function as an Alpha, more so as a human, but somehow I did.

I’ve been doing things I wasn’t used to.

I was asking for help.

I was lowering my pride and it humbled me that many packs were responding well to my cry for help.

And I was willing to do more just to have her back.

I glanced at my cellphone, at the photo that had been sent to me earlier.

It was of Nadia.

I swallowed as the pang of guilt crossed my heart.

I would take her back and I would do everything in my power to make up for the shit I’ve done.

I was just hoping I wasn’t too late yet.

I put on fresh clothes and hurried out the door.

The drive would take us more than a whole day, and I didn’t have time for it, so we booked a three-hour flight instead I dialed my cellphone to call Lady Katarina as I descended the stairs.

Chapter 5 I had made reconciliation with her.

I paid her a visit a few days after she berated me with her words.

I admitted my mistakes and asked for her assistance in finding Nadia.

She was still furious with me, but she did accept my apologies and, together with her brother, we’ve been tracking every possible location where Nadia might have been.

“Hello, Alpha Riley…” She picked up after just two rings.

“Lady Katarina,” I greeted her.

“Do you have news?

” She asked almost immediately.

“My men found her in Atlanta.

I’m heading there.

” “Can you pick me up?

I’m coming with you.

” “No.

I don’t think that’s possible.

I just called you to inform you and to ask a favor.

” “Hmmm…” “If Nadia didn’t want to come home with me, I would rather she stay with you.

I would pay for her upkeep and all of her expenses.

” “Yes, of course, she can stay here, and no, you don’t need to pay anything for her to stay here.

” “She’s my mate.

I want to do that.

But she doesn’t have to know.

I’m just making sure I have other options I can present to her.

” “Then make sure she comes back with you.

Or if not, call me and I will travel there and take her home with me.

” “I’ll do my best.

” I knew I was trying to affirm myself more than her.

“Alpha, is she okay?
