Chapter 35 | In All Its Glory

2024-10-29 19:42:56~Kian~
I drove at jet speed to the venue, praying Nyla was unharmed. While most of my wounds from fighting the Skinwalkers were healing already, the deep gash running down my ribcage seemed to need a pack doctor.
A thick sense of foreboding lingered in the air as I reached my destination. Driving my car into the dry and deep sand, I slammed on the brakes when I couldn't believe my eyes from afar. All my pack members seemed to be walking into the ocean like mindless zombies.
What the hell was happening?
I ran towards them in a frenzy and used my alpha command to stop them. It didn't work.
A hauntingly sweet melody had seeped through the air, filling my every sense and demanding me to look at the source of the song.
Nyla...!
Was it really her?
Her face was still the same, and so was her upper body, which was now naked. A ripple of anger pulsed through me when I watched her bare herself to everyone.

Alpha Kian and His Captive Mate Epilogue
TWO YEARS LATER ~Nyla~ Déjà vu! It was a beautiful April morning. Maya and I were living the same moment again. We were back in the palace at the Golden Dells. I was pregnant again, and today was the Coronation Ceremony. Dressed in a beautiful purple satin gown, I paced to the bedroom Wyatt and I once occupied. The room was locked and preserved in his memory. Our pictures together hung up on the walls and they tugged at my heart with the same intensity, even after all this time. They say our loved ones never truly leave us. They walk beside us every day, unseen but always near, still missed as much. There are things that death cannot touch. I hoped it was true. I wanted Wyatt to watch my sunny smiles, to know that Ari found the best dad I could ever give her. I wished the new addition to the family to be a boy with Kian's green eyes. Ari was already a daddy's girl. The Moon Goddess gave me a lot more than I deserv
Alpha Kian and His Captive Mate Prologue: My Mate
~Alpha Kian~ My mate is the most ridiculous person I have ever met. A human with no prior training or idea about pack wars and warriors. And yet, she thinks she can win a fight against me using her tiny dagger. Me, the strongest alpha that any pack has seen in a century. I was already rocking it much before I took over the Storm Moon Pack from my dad recently. As I lie awake in my bed thinking about my chosen mate, Adalyn, and wondering if I am doing the right thing by ignoring the Moon Goddess's choice, I sense that my mate, Nyla, is somewhere near me. She probably wants to kill me once I fall asleep. I killed everyone Nyla cared about when I attacked the Red Crescent Pack. She was Alpha Wyatt's true soulmate; the Alpha who was going to be coronated the Alpha King, and she was going to be his Luna Queen. How could my dad and I let that happen? Why would we submit to a weaker pack than ours? Maybe if this happened two years back when the Storm Moon Pack was unknown and unheard of
Alpha Kian and His Captive Mate Chapter 1 | Red Crescent Pack
Six Weeks Earlier ~Nyla~ I was the happiest person in the world. Life was treating me really well, and I got everything I wanted. At least that's what I thought. I was too naive at that point to know that life didn't give a hoot about our wants and dreams. What life offered to us was more like fish bait, only to entangle us into a deeper abyss of sorrow and pain. Was I in the mood for such deep thoughts and realizations? Hell no! I was in the la-la land. I was standing on the west balcony of the palace, overlooking the fiery skies and the lush, landscaped gardens. In less than a year, this place had become more home to me than where I spent most of my life. This was Wyatt's home, and now mine and our upcoming pup's. Until I met Wyatt, I thought soulmates were a hoax made up by the elders to push young people into forced marriages. I wasn't a wolf or a human, but I still felt an intense connection to him because of the mate bond w
Alpha Kian and His Captive Mate Chapter 2 | Coronation Ceremony
~Nyla~ By 5 AM the next morning, every dressing room in the palace was cluttered with hair and makeup products. The Omegas were hustling around while Skylar and Maya fussed about spa soaks and wraps in flowers and seaweeds. Maya was like me, not a human or a werewolf. Wyatt found her the same day he found me and agreed to take her in when I asked him to. Having her around was like having a piece of my home with me. To the outsiders, she was a rude, violent woman who wouldn't waste a second snapping their heads off. Wyatt never liked her around me. But she was different with me, she loved me and put me before her own needs or safety. I would do the same for her. "Our soon-to-be Luna Queen will get a full body treatment." She said to the girls who were ready to pamper me. "No scented oils and all, please. I feel nauseous." I told them before closing my eyes. Ever since I woke up, I have been feeling the jitters. Probably I wasn't ready for
Alpha Kian and His Captive Mate Chapter 3 | The Chaos
~Nyla~ Most of the guests were in the banquet hall already, and breakfast was being served as I walked into the bedroom with Skylar and Maya. The pack doctor was on her way. My heart was hammering against my chest, thinking about Wyatt, dreading the words his mother was speaking. "You will be the first one to know if anything happens to him. If the worst happens, you will feel the bond break, and the pain that comes with it." All four of us paced the room anxiously. This was such a terrible time for the baby to come. Melanie, our pack doctor, told me only this Tuesday that I wasn't due at least until next week. My contractions were getting closer, and she was nowhere to be seen. "Do you think the pack hospital is busy treating our wounded? What's taking Mel so long?" Skylar asked her mother. "No idea what's going on. It's been a while, definitely not a false alarm." "Why can't they just keep their mind links open to let u
Alpha Kian and His Captive Mate Chapter 4 | The Murderer
~Nyla~ "Where are you going?" Maya asked the midwife in a surprised voice. She stammered, "I-I'm sorry but I have to g-go. I don't want to d-die today." She looked at me with a guilty face and continued, "Your baby is the heir to this kingdom and a potential threat. He will kill the baby the minute he gets here. Trust me when I say that today would have been the proudest day of my life, helping birth the future king, if things were different. But the kingdom has fallen and most people are either dead or taken prisoners. I hope you can forgive me." Maya pulled out a dagger and stopped the midwife from leaving. I asked her to let her go. I told Maya to leave as well, run for her life while there was still time, and not worry about me. "I'll never leave your side, Nyla. I'll protect you until my last breath, even if death is inevitable for us both." The pain took over, and my eyes were soddened with sweat trickling from my forehead.
Alpha Kian and His Captive Mate Chapter 5 | Abducted
~Nyla~ "Don't fucking pull these stunts around me." The big bad alpha twisted my arm and seized my dagger. All I managed to do was scratch his wrist in the slightest. It was such a failed attempt that the minor break in his skin was already healing right in front of my eyes. I don't remember being this bad at close combat. Frustrated by my weakness and the effect his proximity had on my heart and stupid legs, which were both trembling, I kneed him hard. *Slap!* I couldn't believe it! This asshole alpha just struck me hard. "What kind of man hits a defenseless woman?" I yelled in his face as he reached to snatch my baby away from me. "Defenseless?" He placed the dagger near my throat as I was going to protest him touching my baby. "You just kneed me, woman!" I did not care about the pressure of the curved metal against my throat. "No, please! Give her back. I haven't even named her yet. Please.
Alpha Kian and His Captive Mate Chapter 6 | Luna to Omega
~Nyla~ There was still daylight, but the sun was nowhere to be seen when I was jolted out of my sleep. The chopper had touched the ground already, and heavy rain with thunder rumbling and flashing lightning greeted us. The same woman who brought food to me earlier had come to wake me up. Everyone was already off the chopper except for two men with grumpy faces. The woman led the way while one man grabbed me by the arm and took me to the packhouse. We were walking towards what appeared to be a huge estate amidst a spectacular setting with at least 8000 acres. We passed through glorious gardens and an array of distinctive buildings. My mind wandered off to the stunning gardens at the palace where I loved to spend my mornings, eating scrumptious breakfast and listening to the birds sing. How I took everything for granted because my man was the most powerful Alpha I knew. I thought no harm would ever come to any of us. "The Alp

Alpha Kian and His Captive Mate Chapter 34 | Hell Let Loose
~Nyla~Rachel wasn't thrilled. She wanted to take a lot of silly pictures with me and her dolled-up friends while we rode in her fancy car. We were instead in a black SUV with boring seats and grumpy guard wolves.The atmosphere was charged. Live music, lots of food, kids running around or taking a dip in the ocean, and adults enjoying their drinks by the beach. It was as if we arrived at some carnival celebration.I tried to push my poison-filled thoughts to the back about how to end their smiles and laughter right away. The power of the full moon coupled with the latent energy of the stone was making me restless."Oh yes! Looks like their boring meeting ended early today!" Rachel said and jumped out of the car when she saw her dad coming out with a few others.Alpha Caine's eyes locked with me as if I was his next task on his to-do list for the day. He was over six feet tall, just like Kian, but with hazel eyes and copper hair. He walked to
Alpha Kian and His Captive Mate Chapter 33 | Torn and Frayed
~Nyla~I took a long bath after Kian left. This past week had been the hardest to get through, and I needed to mull everything over.I wasn't aware it was possible to be this torn between the feelings of love and revenge. While I believe at times that Kian was one of the best things that happened to me, guilt was eating me away. Moving on so quickly seemed unnatural enough, and moving on with the bringer of my misfortunes felt unacceptable.I thought no one was silently judging me except for my subconscious, which was constantly spewing Wyatt's memories to the front, reminding me what a horrible person I was. Then I found another silent judge when Kian said Maya was watching us.It must be Maya. She was probably waiting for Kian to move his pack to Golden Dells so she could get her revenge. She didn't know he had no plans to relocate or if I was even alive. Neither did she know he lived in the Western Cascades, which was quite far from home.If she
Alpha Kian and His Captive Mate Chapter 32 | Too Good To Be True
~Kian~Didn't she want me to mark her and make her the Luna? I thought that's what she asked me when we fought on the night of Rachel's First Kill.I expected anything but a weak 'Oh' from her. She was wide awake when she heard me, and now she was pretending to have fallen asleep already. I could think of a lot of ways to wake her up and keep her screaming for the rest of the night. But she looked tired. I held onto her tightly, scared that she would disappear.This was a big step: introducing her to my dad as someone important rather than what he called 'a hole to fill'. He was absolutely going to throw a fit and would want me to pick an alpha female from either the White Claw Pack or the Moon Valley Pack. Both these pack Alphas had daughters who were above eighteen. The day Alpha Garrett went missing, my dad already decided Adalyn was of no use.I was unaware until recently that Nyla wanted more from whatever our relationship was. I would have refused i
Alpha Kian and His Captive Mate Chapter 31 | Overwriting Memories
~Nyla~I thought I had a sexy dream. I was tossing and turning in my bed, unable to catch a wink. The pendant was lying on the nightstand. I hadn't dared to wear it yet. Kian's blood would sustain me for a few days before the withdrawal symptoms kick in again.Walking to the window, I slightly cracked it open to let the night breeze in. Even at almost midnight, there was still some activity down below.Kian was supposed to be back around dinner, but I didn't see him return. As I was drifting off to sleep thinking about him, I heard someone jump into my room by opening the window wider.The whiff of his earthy scent caught in my nostrils as he laid next to me. Wrapping his strong, muscular arms around me, he crushed my body into his broad frame, claiming my lips and nuzzling his head into the crook of my neck.All I could manage was a moan, asking him to keep kissing me and not stop hugging me."You are back to smelling like rain and raspberr
Alpha Kian and His Captive Mate Chapter 30 | The Evil Sister
~Nyla~ My groggy eyes widened the minute I opened them. What happened earlier today felt like a dream. All my life I had hated that my kind needed blood. It was more of a necessity to survive for me rather than a delicacy. But feeding from my mate was unlike anything I had ever experienced. It was amazing! With the hum of pleasure that raced through my body and, given how good it tasted, I had to fight back the urge to suck him out dry. I couldn't help but blush when I saw he was hard. That sexy look on his face once I finished the best meal ever... it had aroused some deep-seated hunger within me. His heavenly masculine scent that still lingered on my body and the bedsheets made my lower regions clench in longing. I wanted him in my bed again. I kept telling myself I shouldn't want to like anything about him, yet I found everything so darn irresistible about him. All my wonderful thoughts about the awesome sex flew out the window when I heard a knock
Alpha Kian and His Captive Mate Chapter 29 | All Mine
~Kian~Fuck!My brain went numb when her sharp teeth pierced through my skin and she started sucking on my neck. I closed my eyes and gripped her hair as her body rubbed against mine.Rex wasn't worried that my mate was feeding off of me. He was giving me the "Told you... she's not human!" crap.I was too lost in the pain mixed with pleasure to think more about what she was. Within seconds, there was no more pain, just a strange rippling gratification in my chest. I could feel myself grow hard, burning with desire in response to her soft moans.Her flaky skin seemed to heal already, and she was fully recovered within a few minutes. Her hands pressed down on my chest and moved up to my nape. It felt so good I didn't want her to stop, even if it meant she would suck me dry. I was highly aroused by the time she licked my neck to stop the blood flow and stared into my eyes with a look of contentment.Those eyes were glowing golden, glazed over w
Alpha Kian and His Captive Mate Chapter 28 | Bloodthirsty
~Nyla~I couldn't erase the sight of him with Zoey, how perfect they looked next to each other. They were both strong and beautiful creatures, probably really horny for each other. There was a weird fullness in my throat that wouldn't dissolve despite the gushing tears.He snubbed me on purpose! Tears burned in my eyes while dry leaves crushed under my shoes as I walked back the way we drove by. An icy wind stung my face and whipped my hair, providing some respite to my burning skin.He's an arrogant, insensitive world-class jerk! Just because women are drawn to him like moths to a flame, he thinks it's okay to---His phone call interrupted my thoughts. As if I was ever going to answer him again. I hated myself for catching so many feelings. He called me a couple of times and then asked Rachel to call me. I switched my phone to silent mode and continued walking.The loud ocean waves were inviting me to just forget him and go home. I would hav
