Alpha of Alphas - The Lycan's Impossible Mate Chapter 143
The rooms in the South wing are magnificent. Despite the dust and debris of years of neglect, the structure is still sound. It’s as if the previous occupants simply up and disappeared, leaving all their belongings behind. All over the place, I find remnants of their life. Crumbling clothes, clunky shoes, a broken porcelain doll. I could spend days in here, just rummaging around, looking at all the history they left behind. I pick an odd black and white photograph up and stare at it. In it, are four people lying on an old-fashioned bed with copper posts – a mother, father, and two children, all of them asleep. “This is weird,” I say and turn the photograph over. “Josiah Madden and family.” “Let me see,” Kane says and holds out his hand. “Oh. They’re all dead. It’s a memento mori.” “A what?” “Back in the Victorian era, having your photograph taken was expensive, so families would only take pictures of their loved ones after they died. Memento mori means, ‘Remember that you must die.

I can feel the fragile peace between us shatter. Kane glares at me, and he doesn’t have to say the words to make his accusation clear. Unconsciously, I take a step away from him, not thinking what it might look like to him when I retreat. Breathlessly, I wait for him to ask the question. “Dammit, Willow,” he sighs and sinks to the couch. “What did you do?”“Nothing.”He doesn’t believe me. “Did you kill her?”“No!” I snap. “Why do you just automatically assume I killed her? It could be anything. Maybe she just went for a nice long walk, you know. She is gone, not dead." I take a deep breath, trying to get myself back under control. "I was here all night. You know that.”“I don’t know!” he hollers. “I was asleep.”Behind me, Adare starts crying. Shooting Kane an ugly look, I turn around and bend over to pick him up. “Don’t shout.” Cradling the baby close, I ask, “Why does it matter one way or the other, really? Why do you care if she’s dead or alive?”Kane scrubs his hands over his fac

We stand outside the circle, waiting for only Kane knows what. He was right, it is bitterly cold tonight, and after twenty minutes of just standing around, my teeth are chattering and my hands have gone numb. “I told you to get proper winter clothes,” Kane says as he shrugs out of his jacket and drapes it over my shoulders. “Look at you. You’re frozen solid.”“T-t-t-t-tuh-ake back your d-d-d-d-du-ham juh-juh-hacket,” I manage to stutter out through my cold-clenched jaw.“Just because you’re angry at me, doesn’t mean you have to freeze to death.”He cups my hands in his and blows warm air onto the solid blocks of ice that used to be my fingers, before vigorously rubbing them back to life. I’m too cold to argue with him. “There, isn’t that better?”“Yes,” I admit, albeit begrudgingly. “Aren’t you cold?”“No.”“Can we shift yet?” I ask hopefully, knowing Suri is much better equipped to handle the sudden drop in temperatures than I am.“Not yet.”“What are we waiting for?”He points to so

Kane's POV After the women left, Willow lay down in front of the opening to Adare’s little nook, and wouldn’t budge. I stayed with her the whole night, even though I itched to run off some of my pent up energy. I fucked up so bad earlier when I automatically assumed she did something to Dani that I didn’t want to do anything to rock our precarious little boat, and I didn't dare leave her. As the moon starts setting, I shift back to human and wait for her to do the same, but it doesn’t happen. “You okay there?” I ask through our mind link. “Yes.” “Can you shift?” “No. I don’t know why.” “Suri?” “Yeah, maybe. She’s pissed at me because I silenced her when The Goddess started talking to me.” “Right. Well give it an hour, let’s see how it goes.” “Okay.” She closes her eyes and promptly falls asleep. I take the time to gather my clothes and get dressed, then lean over my sleeping mate to check on Adare. He’s not awake yet, but I give him less than ten minutes before he starts bawl
Alpha of Alphas - The Lycan's Impossible Mate Chapter 147
Kane’s POV: Thankfully Willow pumped yesterday and I can feed little Adare twice before I need to wake her to nurse him. Half asleep, she sits up and takes the boy to feed him, leaning back against the headrest and going straight back to sleep while nursing. I stay with her to make sure Adare doesn't fall out of her arms, and when they’re done I bring him into the living room with me. I strap him into his pram and leave a note for Willow. *Went for a walk with Adare. Food in the microwave.* The castle is quiet, as it always is after the full moon. The only thing that stirs is the sleepy guards who jump to attention when they see me approach, but slump right back into their dopey states as soon as I pass them. We are at our most vulnerable right after the full moon, but every wolf here has the ability to wake up fast and be ready for an attack in minutes. I walk along the perfectly paved paths, listening to Adare making cooing sounds as we go. It’s a beautiful day. The only thing th

Kane's POV: Willow puts Adare in his slings, and rushes ahead of me to the tower. “I bet it’s not very clean or comfortable,” she says and before I can say anything, she’s gone. We hadn’t been in the tower since Willow lived there for a week, and she’s not wrong, I’m just not sure it’s worth it to send Omegas up to make the place clean and liveable if Agatha only has hours left to live. But when I finally make it up there with the elderly witch in my arms, I’m reminded once again of how much I underestimate Willow’s magical abilities. A fire roars in the fireplace without an obvious fuel source, the shiny floor shimmers orange and gold in the light of the blaze, and in the bedroom, the bed is neatly made with clean, fresh linens. She put a jug of water and clean glass within easy reach of the bed. I’m sure it’s the only thing she didn’t conjure. When she sees us walking into the bedroom, she pulls away the covers and wait until I put the frail old woman down before she speaks. “Wha
Alpha of Alphas - The Lycan's Impossible Mate Chapter 149
Kane's POV The one thing Willow and I didn’t bargain on, and we should have, was that I’d be able to feel everything she felt. That catastrophic mistake doesn't become clear to me until a few minutes later, when she starts to break Agatha's spell. I barely make it down the stairs when a psychic pain so deep and profound rips through me that it renders me immobile. I fall against the mildewy wall and slide to the floor, just barely holding on to the pup. The safest place for him is the floor. It’s hard and dirty, but at least I won’t drop him. “Mother,” I mind link with Erica. “Are you awake?” “Yes.” She sounds sleepy, but she’s an experienced wolf who can handle the full moon shift much better than a young one. “Is something the matter?” The last time I contacted her after a full moon was right after Willow's first shift. “I need you to come and get Adare.” “Why?” My hands clench into fists. Something dark is coming. Dark and dangerous. For a moment, the whole world goes black

“That was uncomfortable,” Kane coughs and tries to sit upright.Uncomfortable? Only Kane will describe the horror of the underworld as uncomfortable. “Where is Adare?” I ask right away. I should be more concerned about Kane, but my baby’s not here and I don’t know if he’s safe.“With my mother.”I relax immediately. At least he’s in good hands, and I didn’t inadvertently bring him to the pits of the underworld with me. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry,” I say, and wipe sweaty hair out of Kane’s eyes. “You weren’t supposed to be dragged into the underworld with me.”“How did I get there?”“I don’t know.” I’m so close to tears that it’s difficult to speak. Seeing my beautiful, strong mate lying limply on the floor, covered in dirt, and paler than death itself, hurts more than anything my father ever did to me. “I should have made sure you’re protected.”“No.” He coughs again, an ugly hacking sound. “You couldn’t have done both.”“I could have. I should have.”“Well, you didn’t know it would hap
