last update 최신 업데이트: 2024-10-29 19:42:56
The sound of a car door slamming shut wakes me. I tense. My muscles coiling like a too-tight spring. Sticking my head out under the covers, I can hear soft footsteps approaching the cabin. I didn’t lock the front door. Did I? I can’t remember. But I do remember locking the bedroom door.

The front door opens and closes. I get out of bed and stand facing the door, my legs apart and arms outstretched, ready to launch my magic at whoever is on the other side. I don’t even care about the consequences.

“Willow,” my father whispers in my head. “Are you asleep, girl? Wake up!”

I’m dizzy with fear, but I won’t let him win. Not this time. I’ll fight to the death if need be. The knob turns and the door rattles in the frame. “Willow. Open up.” Kane says on the other side. Letting out a slow breath, I walk to the door on shaky legs, turning the key and standing back so Kane can get in. “What’s wrong?” he asks, looking around the room.

I take one look at him, the misery written all over his face

  • Alpha of Alphas - The Lycan's Impossible Mate   Chapter 21

    Kane's POV: The day passed in a haze. I wanted to confront my father, but Glenn wouldn’t let me get past him. “You are not thinking clearly, and you have no proof.” “You know he did it!” “Yes, but we can’t just go accusing him…we’ll build a case against him, be patient.” I paced up and down my apartment, sweat dripping from my body. I never thought I’d be this upset about Shay dying. I always thought it would be a relief, but I was broken up in ways I couldn’t explain. “It’s the loss of the bond,” Glenn said. He sat on the couch, watching me with weary eyes, getting ready to jump in if he needed to. “We barely had a bond.” “But you had it all the same, even if it wasn’t as deep as a true mate bond.” “Richard is going to blame me for this, and rightly so. I should just have abjured her.” “You couldn’t have known your father would go that far to get what he wants.” I stopped pacing and stared at my chancellor. “I should have. He’s done much worse in the past.” After that, thin

  • Alpha of Alphas - The Lycan's Impossible Mate   Chapter 22

    Kane's POV: The old woman leads us ever deeper into the woods, and the farther we go, the more nervous I become. Willow seems completely unfazed, she’s happy to be with her own kind. I can understand that -- I’m at my happiest when I’m with my tribe. One moment there’s nothing, the next, we’re in the middle of a thriving little village. Laughing, half-naked children run by us, barely glancing at us, while the adults stop what they’re doing and openly stare at us. What the ever-loving fuck? “How long have you lived here?” I ask. “We have called these woods home for, oh, near on two-hundred years now.” “You’re lying old woman. I’ve been here a hundred times, and I’ve never seen you.” “But we have seen you a hundred times--” she waves her hand and the village disappears --“Illusion spell,” she grins at me, and with another wave of her hand the village reappears. Fucking witches. “Okay,” I growl. “What is going on here?”

    “Willow,” Agatha says and turns to me. “Are you not paying tribute to the gods?” “No,” I say flatly. “Why not?” Because, the gods have never done anything for me, that’s why. Because the gods left me to rot in Crystal Rose’s dungeons. Because the Gods gave me a father like Daniel fucking Jones. And now, as if the first twenty-one years weren’t bad enough, they fated me to a werewolf. “None of your business.” Kane looks at me with a little frown on his face, but he doesn’t say anything. “If you don’t pay tribute, the gods will not bless you,” Agatha says. I snort loudly. “They’ve never blessed me. I doubt they’ll start now.” “You are wrong, girl. You should be grateful. They’ve given you more than most of us get.” I fold my arms around myself. My joy at finding the witches has quickly turned to regret. They’ve been attacking me relentlessly ever since I stepped foot in their village. Like I’m not broken enough. If it weren’t for the fact that we needed the information Agatha has

  • Alpha of Alphas - The Lycan's Impossible Mate   Chapter 24

    Kane's POV: I have never been so angry and so afraid in all my life. I’ve faced some of the most brutal wolves the world had ever seen, and even then I wasn’t this terrified. When I wouldn’t willingly drink the potion they tried to force down my gullet, they cast a spell that immobilised me. Unable to resist, I swallowed the vile concoction, hoping and praying it’s not something that would kill my wolf. They needed six men to lift me off the ground and place me on the altar. Once on the hard stone slab, Agatha walked up to me, cut my clothes off, and left me here by myself, trapped in my own body, stuck with my own thoughts. At first, being nude in front of the witches didn’t bother me, but then the potion kicked in, and I realised what it was they gave me – I have the biggest, most painful erection of my life, and the longer I lie here, the more it hurts. I try to focus on the painful way the altar eats into my back an

    I don’t know what happened or why. As soon as I started licking the blood from Kane’s chest, I felt their magical hold over me slip away like a bad dream. “On three,” he whispers. I nod, barely moving my head. The witches are walking around the altar, chanting their spell, stepping out of the circle one at a time to lay their offerings beside us. “Three,” Kane says. I roll to the left of him as he rolls to right, shifting as he falls off the altar. The witches scream and rush away from him. For a moment, I forget that I’m supposed to get on his back. His exquisite, golden wolf transfixes me. The rarest of them all. The biggest and strongest wolf to walk this earth. Born only once every hundred years and known to us as the Alpha of Alphas. Wow. Well fuck, don’t the gods have a twisted sense of humour? The witches realise their mistake at the same time that I realise what my mate is. They drop their offerings and start running for the exit, fall

    Kane’s POV: “I have no idea what we’re going to do, Willow,” I say, running my fingers up and down her arm. “I still don’t see a way how we can make this work…fuck--” I push her away from me and sit up --“I’m…we’re really screwed. I did the one thing I said I wouldn’t do.” “Marked me?” “Yes, that…and now I have to hide you--” I run my hand through my hair –“I know of other wolves that did something similar…I always ridiculed them, and now I’m in the same boat.” I am confused and terrified. Confused, because her marked stuck, terrified, because I know if my father finds out about her, he’ll kill her on the spot…not even to mention what Daniel Jones will do to me…and Willow for that matter. “So nothing’s changed,” she says. “No one can know? We can’t be together…not really.” “I’m sorry. I’ll figure it out.” “We’ll figure it out,” she corrects me. I smile and am about to ans

  • Alpha of Alphas - The Lycan's Impossible Mate   Chapter 27

    The whole day I feel restless, pacing around the cabin, then the garden, then back into the cabin. I’m irritated and uncomfortable with myself, crawling in my own skin. I eat without tasting the food, my mind constantly on Kane, then the push from my father, trying to catch me unawares so I will tell him where I am. Every so often, a wave of sadness hits me, but I recognise it for what it is. Kane. It’s faint, but I can feel some of his emotions bleeding through. I am still unreasonably jealous of the dead she-wolf. I try to shake it off, but can’t. Maybe when he stops talking about her, it will pass. “Willow,” someone calls from outside. Agatha. Readying myself for a magical fight, I step outside to confront the old woman. “What do you want?” “You completed the spell,” she says, giving me a big grin. “Yes, but you couldn’t harvest the energy.” “It’s all right…we have what we need.” “I’m not going to war with Moon Flowe

    Kane's POV:I stare at the broken front door, the grin nearly wrapping right around my head. I remember the first time I shifted. The fear as the pain thundered through my body, quickly replaced by the excitement as the power coursed through my veins. I was twelve though, young even for a Lycan, she is older and perhaps less enthralled by the process.I step over the broken front door, turn to my immediate right, and step over that door. Wearing only one of my t-shirts and a pair of panties, Willow lies on her back, one arm behind her head, the other resting on her belly. She looks so peaceful, perhaps for the first time since I met her, that I don’t have the heart to wake her.I pull off my boots and softly slither into bed with her. Immediately, her eyes snap open. “Kane?” she asks.Hm, I’ll have to get used to the fact that she’s a werewolf now, with keener senses. “Morning,” I ki

  • Alpha of Alphas - The Lycan's Impossible Mate   Thank you

    Dear readers, I would like to thank each and every one of you for taking the time to read Willow and Kane's story. This has been one of the longest books I've ever written, and when I started out I did not expect it to turn into this epic saga, but I regret nothing. Nothing I tell you :). I fell in love with Willow and Kane, and I am genuinely sad to say goodbye to these two, but unfortunately all stories must come to an end. Thank you for your support througout this wild ride. It means the world to me. I hope you enjoyed reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it. Until we meet again. All my love, Celice

  • Alpha of Alphas - The Lycan's Impossible Mate   Epilogue

    Kane Madden, Lycan King of Felan, wakes up to an unearthly racket right outside his bedroom door. Slightly concerned, he glances at his heavily pregnant wife and smiles despite his annoyance at his oldest son’s shenanigans in the hallway. Willow Madden, his mate of fifteen years is heavily pregnant with their second set of twins, two boys this time, and Kane sincerely hopes this is the last time. Goddess knows he loves his children, all eight of them, and he’s sure he’ll love numbers nine and ten just as much, but it’s getting difficult to keep up with all the pups. They are exhausting. For a time, he was sure that they’d never have more children, but after one wild afternoon in the forest, Willow did get pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, as their remarkable son predicted. She named the twins Josiah and Jocelyn, after the previous occupants of their home. Kane thought it was macabre, but Willow insisted, saying they had to honour their ancestors. That would be the same twins wh

    It’s a beautiful summer’s day, and the drive up to the cabin is pleasant enough. Kane and I have found a peaceful kind of comfort in each other’s silence, and we rarely need to fill the quiet with inane background chatter. We are content, just being together. I inhale the lovely fresh air, remembering the first time I came here. The night Suri was born, the sheer exhilaration of feeling my wolf come to life...and that was all thanks to Agatha. Dear, sweet Agatha who never found a final resting place because we went to war and in the chaos, we forgot all about her. Our funeral home has since been bombed off the planet, and we just take care of our dead our own way as we'd done during the war. There aren’t that many of us left anyway. The few surviving wolves live here now, and those that refuse to come to safety are dying off – Templars bearing a lingering grudge either murder them, or the wolves yield to their unrelenting urge to join a good war. Kane once told me that wolves had be

  • Alpha of Alphas - The Lycan's Impossible Mate   Chapter 327

    Kane's POV I wasn’t sure what would happen in the months and years that followed after we signed the peace treaty, so we went with the tried and tested 'go with the flow' method. For a time, everything went back to normal. Drake and Patrick ran the business, and more and more my little brother took over my duties in the company. Proof, Willow liked to remind me, that Omegas are just as competent as any other wolf. The overseas wolves went home, and as soon as they were sure the threat had really passed, the European wolves followed suit. The only ones that stayed were the humans. I claimed the human town as part of my territory during the peace talks, and the residents now affectionately call it Wolftonia. Leif left, taking his strange sister with him. Only later did we learn that Silke’s time on earth was limited and that she had foreseen her own death long before she ever came here. Unbeknownst to all of us, including Willow, a völva’s dying energy projects outwards, and what we m

    Adare runs around the garden with Roland. The two boys growl and stalk each other like prey. My motherly instinct is to jump up and stop them before one of them gets seriously hurt, but Rosie quickly grabs me and pulls me back to my chair. “No Queen,” she says. “That’s how they learn. They won’t hurt each other.” “Are you sure?” “I’ve seen them play this game a hundred times. I’m sure.” Dammit. My throat burns and I have to fight against the tears. I’m so happy that my son is home, but I’ve missed so much. He is the size of an average three-year-old and when I talk to him, I sometimes forget that he’s not even two yet. I choose not the think about it. I choose to focus on the here and now. My family is whole and complete and that's what matters “Mama! Look!” Adare squeals and tackles Roland to the ground. “Good job, buddy,” Kane says behind me. I look over my shoulder at my mate. “You’re back early.” “Yes. Peace talks broke down.” “Why?” “Clement wants my humans.” “I thought

    Kane rolls over to my side and pulls me into his embrace. I don’t even bother to open my eyes. It’s been a wild few days. “Oh Goddess, no,” I complain. “Haven’t you had enough?” He laughs breezily in my ear. “Never…but for now, yes.” He flutters kisses over my jaw and neck. “How do you feel?” “Like I got run over by a penis-shaped bulldozer.” “Hey, you wanted it.” I finally manage to drag my eyelids apart. “I did.” I smile at my impressive mate. “The first two days were great.” “I know.” He rolls away and swings his legs off the bed. “The last day always feels more like a punishment than pleasure.” I turn over onto my side and stare at his broad back, the strong muscles flexing under his skin. “No regrets though, right?” He looks over his shoulder at me. “None.” He gets up and stretches, scratching his ass as he walks to the bathroom. A minute later, I hear him open the tap. We don’t have electricity yet, but I’m not so sure I miss it. Life is kind of peaceful without the cons

  • Alpha of Alphas - The Lycan's Impossible Mate   Chapter 324

    Kane’s POV I sit on the couch in the dark living room, watching the glowing embers in the fireplace, trying to ignore the call of Willow’s heat and the fever that's trying to consume me. I'd go to her, but she's still asleep. t’s not time, she can’t feel it yet, but she will in another few hours. I should be sleeping, prepare myself properly this time, but I can’t switch my milling thoughts tumbling through my head off long enough so I can go to sleep. I’ve already sent orders out to bring the power stations back online and ordered our army to stand its ground. There’s nothing else to do now but wait for Clement to come back so we can finish up the peace agreement. In the absence of entertainment or imminent danger, the only thing I have to keep myself occupied is my own thoughts, and all I can think about is the possibility that Willow will get pregnant. Here, in the quiet of the night, all by myself, I have to admit the truth. I never want her to get pregnant again – not becaus

  • Alpha of Alphas - The Lycan's Impossible Mate   Chapter 323

    Kane’s POV For the next few hours, we talk about the meeting with Clement, the future, and a whole lot of nothing. There’s something comforting in it, just friends having a chat about life, love, and everything in between. I glance at my watch, surprised to see that it was well past midday. “That’s it,” I say and get up, stretching my too-tight muscles. “We’re taking the week off. I don't know about you, but I've had enough of war to last me a lifetime.” “Shall I collect Adare?” Zael asks on our way out. “Not yet. I don’t…Willow thinks he’ll be safe here, but I want to make sure.” “If what she said about The Goddess is true, she’s probably right. She hasn’t been wrong so far, has she?” I scrunch up my face and rub my forehead. “I don’t know. I can’t think straight anymore.” Zael nods. “I know the feeling.” “Did you get any retaliation over the Raymond thing?” “Of course I did.” “And?” “And nothing. I handled it...it won't come back to you.” “Do you think this war is over?”

  • Alpha of Alphas - The Lycan's Impossible Mate   Chapter 322

    Kane's POVIt had been weeks since we slept comfortably, and even though we both sort of hinted at passing the night making love, neither of us could actually gather the energy to do more than snuggle down in each other’s arms.For the first time in weeks, perhaps months, I wake with a smile on my face, completely relaxed and almost happy. The only thing I need to complete my joy is my son, and he'll be here soon enough.I stretch languidly, and slip out from under Willow and go to the bathroom to get ready for my meeting with Clement. I hope against all hope that Willow misunderstood The Goddess and that there would be no human war. I hope, and I pray, that Clement would listen to my advice and stop it before it even starts.The castle is freezing, and I’m shivering so much that I cut myself several times while I shave. Rattling like an excited dog, I run back to the bedroom, pull an extra blanket over Willow, then rush to the closet so I can dress in one of my suits and my long, thi
