Filed To Story: Falling for the Alpha As a Student Novel
“Alpha, Jazzy has done a lot wrong. Death would be an easy way out for her,”
I said, trying a different approach.
Jonathan had fallen silent upon hearing my words and for a second, I thought I saw his body freezing.
“She deserves a lot worse than death. She hurt a lot of people and killed many in her path. She conjured darkness and tried to wipe out an entire race of wolves. Death would be too good,”
I said firmly, folding my arms across my chest.
He stared at Jazzy for a moment longer and then his eyes flashed to me.
“She tried to kill your daughter, but she didn’t succeed. She tried to kill me and all the other Volanas in the world, but she failed to do so. She tried to take over this entire nation using darkness as her ally, and she failed. She is the cause of many deaths and now she must live with the fact that she was unable to avenge the death of her parents—”
“You fucking bitch!!”
Jazzy hissed.
I turned in time to see Jazzy lunging at me, but Hazel was too quick and used her powers to freeze Jazzy in her spot.
I had Alpha Jonathan where I wanted him, but that one thing caused his attention to return to Jazzy and he growled loudly at her. His eyes were venomous, making a chill creep up my spine.
Enzo was quick to be by my side, protectively hovering over me.
“She’s right…”
sounded a weak and familiar voice in the distance.I turned to see Sarah, being held by Brody who looked worn out.
Sarah was incredibly pale, and her face looked almost lifeless. She had blood on her face from when her nose bled after she used her abilities to get rid of some of the rogues earlier in the fight. She was holding onto her stomach as if it pained her and I noticed beads of sweat forming on her forehead and dampening her hairline.
“Sarah…”
I breathed, my heart squeezing painfully in my chest.
Her eyes weren’t on me though; they were on her father.
“Jazzy tried to kill me… but she didn’t,”
Sarah breathed. “Dad… I’m alive… for right now.”
Her voice faded once she spoke that last sentence and it snapped Alpha Jonathan’s eyes to his daughter.
I could tell speaking hurt her; she was sounding breathless, and her voice was nothing more than a whisper.
“Please don’t kill her because of me…”
Sarah continued after a short pause.Alpha Jonathan finally stepped back away from Jazzy and turned fully to face his daughter. Within the eyes of his wolf, I could see the pure sadness and it broke my heart entirely.
“I’m really sorry…”
Sarah whispered as she shut her eyes and allowed her body to go limp in Brody’s arms.
“Sarah…”
Brody spoke in a broken whisper. His entire body began to tremble with agony and I knew his wolf was struggling to keep himself under control.
His mate was dying and there was no telling how long they had left.
Brody knelt to the ground, keeping Sarah in his arms, and I saw tears springing free from the corner of his eyes.
I found myself going to them and kneeling beside Brody, trying to provide him with some type of comfort. I placed a hand on his shoulder, trying to keep the tears from my own eyes.
Nobody dared to speak.
Alpha Jonathan was quickly by our side; he was no longer in his wolf form. I hadn’t even noticed him shifting back and getting dressed until he fell to the ground beside his daughter, fully dressed and breathless as if he had just run a marathon.
“Sarah,”
he said, placing his hand on her forehead. “Let me see her.”
A growl emerged from deep within Brody’s throat, making Alpha Jonathan freeze and look at him with a raised brow. Brody kept his arms around Sarah, and she kept her face buried in his chest. Her eyes were still closed, but she was shivering like she was cold despite the sweat that was pouring from her face.
“Brody, he’s her father. He’s not going to hurt her,”
I said gently. “Let your mate go.”
“Mate?”
Alpha Jonathan asked, snapping me a look.
I ignored his look and kept my eyes on Brody.
“Brody…”
I said again, trying to keep as calm as I could. “Release her…”
Alpha Jonathan looked between the two of us before he fixed his eyes on Brody.
“I just want to see my daughter,”
Jonathan said, oddly calmly.
Brody’s breathing seemed to have lessened and his body relaxed slightly as Alpa Jonathan took a hold of Sarah and pulled her onto his lap. Sarah managed to bury her face in her father’s chest and let out a soft and weak cry.This was the first time I had ever seen them embrace and it tugged at my heart.
“I’m so sorry…”
Jonathan whispered to his daughter. “I tried so hard to find a cure… but I failed you. This is all my fault.”
“A cure?”
Hazel asked, furrowing her brows together as she stepped toward us.
Jazzy was being taken away by Beta Gamma Jack and Donovan, so Hazel was able to join us as we clustered around Sarah and Alpha Jonathan.
“A cure for what?”
She continued to ask, eyeing Sarah carefully.
“She was cursed as an infant,”
my father explained to her, keeping his eyes on Alpha Jonathan like he expected Jonathan to say something.
“Who in their right mind would curse an infant?”
Hazel asked, raising her brows as she too fixed her eyes on Alpha Jonathan.
Alpha Jonathan stared at his daughter for a long while; she was no longer crying. Her eyes were closed tightly, and I knew she was trying to fight whatever pain was coursing through her body at that moment.
“The woman I had an affair with…”
his voice drifted off leaving his words in the air.
We all stared at him dumbfounded.
“What?”
I found myself saying, breaking through the silence that surrounded us.
“I cheated on Sarah’s mother with a witch…”
Alpha Jonathan explained weakly, not looking at any of us. His eyes remained on his daughter’s face. “When the witch found out I had a family…. She placed a curse on them. She wanted me to suffer knowing that I was the cause of their suffering… the curse already killed my wife… now it’s going to take my daughter as well.”
My heart fell deep into my stomach and soon, Sarah’s eyes were opened slightly, and tears were clear within them.
“Dad….”
She breathed, barely audible.
“I’m so sorry….”
He said her. “I wish I could take it back… I wish I could take all of it back… I was the reason your mother died. I’m the reason you are hurting… I’m the reason you are—”
his voice broke off; he couldn’t get the last word out and I couldn’t blame him.
“Do you know what curse she placed on your daughter?”
Hazel asked, furrowing her brows together.
“I don’t know what it was called…”
