Claimed by My Bully Alpha (by Anna Kendra) novel Chapter 134

Chapter 134

Caleb’s POV

My father nodded, absorbing Damien’s words as though piecing together a puzzle. “And Aurora?” He asked. “Other than the man who fell to the ground?”

you

didn’t see anyone else? Someone who might have done this

Damien hesitated, as if he was trying to remember every details through the haze of memory. ‘No, Alpha. It was just her… but there was something in the ait, something wrong. It was like… like an energy, a heaviness. I’ve never felt anything like it before, so I can’t describe to you how it really felt…but I kne I felt it…this presence.”

I watched as my father processed this, his expression hardening further. “So, you’re saying there could be something, or someone, out there, just lurking?” He looked at me, his eyes narrowed, and for a second, I felt the weight of his unspoken worry – he hated uncertainties.

“Caleb, I want the perimeter doubled. No one leaves or enters without my approval until we get to the bottom of this. And you, he turned back to Damien, his tone softening ever so slightly, “you did well trying to save her. The healers will take it from here.”

“Thank you, Alpha.” Damien managed a tight smile as he stepped away. And even though his expression was calm, I could tell that there was a storm raging inside of him. Because I felt it too, the storm, the concern for my Aurora.

Damien and I both waited outside the room while the healers worked on our mates. And my father didn’t look away from Damien, his gaze like a steel blade, sharp and unyielding. I had a feeling he already knew about Damien’s connection to Caroline, but thankfully, he didn’t say anything either.

‘What happened to Caroline?‘ The question came through our mental bond, just like I expected it to.

‘She felt everything that Aurora did,‘ I answered him. ‘I don’t know what’s happening, dad, but can we please keep this on the down low for the moment? Ar least until we figure out what this connection is between Aurora and Caroline.’

‘Fine.’ Came his curt mental voice. ‘But figure it out fast. Before Caroline’s parent’s get wind of the situation.‘

“And what about the other man?” he asked out loud, his tone firm, unwavering. “What state was he in?”

I swallowed, knowing this part would hit harder. “It was Aurora’s father,” I replied, looking my father straight in the eye. “When I got there… he was already dead.”

I watched as Alpha Camden expression shifted, his brows furrowed in that familiar way he wore whenever a situation went sideways. The whole place seemed to be abuzz with a tense energy, one that spoke volumes of how my father was feeling about the sudden turn of events. Just then, one of the healers appeared before us, a soft but urgent look in her eyes as she addressed the Alpha.

“Alpha Camden,” she began, her voice low but filled with urgency. “The corpse that was found at the scene… It’s at least three days old. And… well, the cause of death–it was starvation.”

Her words were simple but hit hard, reverberating through each of us standing there. For a few moments, none of us spoke, as if we were still trying to absorb the information, the sheer horror of what we were hearing.

Three days old? A corpse…

That was just…insane!

Alpha Camden stopped mid–step and turned to her, his eyes narrowing as he processed her words. “Starvation? Three days old?” He shook his head, disbelief mingling with irritation. “How could that be possible? The corpse was found standing on its two legs, right in front of the school gates! Are you sure there wasn’t any sign of foul play? How can a corpse just..walk like that?”

My father asked the questions that had been running through everyone’s mind. Damien and I turned expectantly towards the healer, waiting for an explanation to this bizarre incident, even as my mind twisted with worry for Aurora.

The healer shook her head, glancing between Camden and me as if looking for reassurance. “No, Alpha. We checked for any signs anything that would indicate that the corpse was transferred to the school–but there was nothing. He was severely dehydrated a those are the only signs of death we were able to confirm.”
