My Alpha Bet I’ll Jump Into The River To Save Him Novel – The icy river water chilled me to the bone, making my entire body tremble, but I had no intention of getting out. I was like a madwoman, desperately searching the water. My eyes stung from the current, and my breathing was erratic. Alpha Lonnie couldn’t swim! On a day this cold, what if he drowned? What if something happened to him?! My mind was a blank, my heart pounding so fast it felt like it might burst out of my chest.
Gritting my teeth against the biting cold, I forced myself to dive deeper, to push forward. In my mind, my wolf—Ivy—was screaming, “Hurry, Felicia! We have to find him! We can’t lose him!” The cold wind whipped through the air, carrying icy rain that felt like blades slicing my cheeks. It hurt so much I could barely clench my fists. My entire body was trembling, and as I stared at the still surface of the water, an unfamiliar fear gripped me—a bone-deep despair. Just as I was about to call for help, a voice with a complicated tone came from the riverbank: “She actually jumped in.” It was like lightning struck me. I froze in the water, turning stiffly toward the shore.
Shana Wells stood there, her eyes red-rimmed, an expression of disappointment mixed with resignation on her face. “As our bet, Fair is fair. Alpha Lonnie, I won’t bother you anymore.” “… bet?” My mind buzzed, like a taut string had suddenly snapped. A bet? What bet? What did she mean by “won’t bother you anymore”? What were they talking about? I stood there, soaking wet, the cold seeping into my very bones. Yet nothing could suppress the growing suspicion in my mind.
I stared at the riverbank—Alpha Lonnie stood beside her, looking spoiled. He reached out to gently ruffle Shana’s hair, his tone indulgent: “Come on, I only rejected you outright. That doesn’t mean we can’t still be friends.” He said it so lightly, with a smile on his lips, as if he didn’t reject. Shana’s face flushed red, and in the next moment, she naturally looped her arm around his, pouting playfully. “Lonnie, I knew you wouldn’t be that heartless.” The men around them chuckled. “Still hung up on him, huh, Shana?” “Girl, how much do you like Lonnie, betting on something like this?” “Honestly, Lonnie should’ve given you a chance a long time ago.” They laughed so naturally, so familiarly, as if this was just another game they always played.
And me? I was nothing more than an outsider—a complete joke. No one looked at me, the one standing in the freezing water. No one explained what “bet” meant. I stood there, my lips blue from the cold, but my heart was colder still. Until finally, Alpha Lonnie seemed to “remember” me. He glanced over, his eyes holding a mix of guilt and… satisfaction.
