Claimed by My Bully Alpha (by Anna Kendra) novel Chapter 147

“Stop!” I shouted at the light, as if it could hear me. My arms trembled violently, every muscle straining, but it was no use. The pull was relentless. My hands slipped.

And I fell.

A scream ripped from my throat as the green light swallowed me whole. My body plummeted through the chasm, weightless yet heavy, the air itself thick and electric. I spun, flailing, trying to grab onto something–anything–but there was only the suffocating glow of that cursed symbol.

“What do you want from me? I choked out, my voice lost in the rushing wind and the eerie hum of the light. The sytnbol grew larger, closer, its intricate vines seeming to writhe as I hurtled toward it.

Before I could even attempt to brace myself, the circle and its glowing rectangle engulfed me. The light burned–sharp and searing, yet cold, like ice crawling under my skin. My scream died in my throat as the world shattered into nothingness.

I woke with a start, my chest heaving as the remnants of the nightmare clawed at the edges of my mind. Blinking, I tried to make sense of my surroundings, only to find Caleb hovering over me, his hands on my shoulders as if he was trying to shake me awake.

Jade hovered in my peripheral vision, as did Caroline, her eyes brimming with concern. And then there was Damien, standing to the side, a frown on his face.

“What the… what’s going on?” My voice came out hoarse, like I hadn’t spoken in hours. I pushed myself up, wincing at the stiffness in my muscles. “Why are all of you here? What happened?”

spoken hoping

Caleb leaned forward, his piercing gaze locking onto mine. “That’s what we were hoping you could tell us, Aurora.”

“Me?” I frowned, confusion washing over me. “What do you mean? I don’t remember-”

“You were sleepwalking,” Caleb interrupted, his tone sharper than I expected. “We found you wandering the hallway, calling out for Caroline and me. You almost fell down the stairs.”

My breath hitched. “What?” I stared at him, searching his face for any hint of a joke, but there was none. “I don’t sleepwalk. I’ve never-

But my voice fell short when I found myself at the base of the staircase to the main pack house, propped up against the stairs as everyone surrounded me.

“You almost fell, Aurora,” Caleb said again, his voice firm but laced with something softer. Concern, maybe. “If I hadn’t caught you in time…”

“I don’t-” My words faltered as I tried to process what he was saying. “I don’t remember any of that. I just… I was dreaming. That’s all I remember.”

“You were screaming our names,” Caleb said, his voice softer now. “Over and over.”

“Do you remember why?” Jade’s voice was quieter than usual as he leaned forward. “Why were you calling for them?”

“I don’t know!” I exclaimed, frustration bubbling to the surface. “I just… I don’t know! One minute I was dreaming, and the next, I’m here with all of you staring at me like I’ve lost my mind!”

“No one’s saying you’ve lost your mind,” Damien interjected, his tone calm but firm. “But this isn’t exactly normal, Aurora. Sleepwalking, calling for people, almost getting yourself–killed–none of this is normal.”

“Damien,” Caroline snapped softly, shooting him a look.

He shrugged. “What? She deserves the truth.”
