Alpha's Cursed And Broken Mate chapter 105
I marched over to Spencer, my eyes narrowed. Heat rushed through me, and I felt like I had electric current in my veins. “When were you going to share this with us? How dare you put my friends’ lives at risk. After everything you’ve already done.”“First of all, I didn’t even know you were alive, so spare me the deadbeat dad guilt,” Spencer said with a growl.His tone was menacing, and I tensed but held my ground.“Second, I never asked your friends for help. I asked you. And your brother was a happy addition,” he said.“That’s why you needed us,” Malcom said. “You can’t do this without blood relatives to help. You weren’t counting on the others joining.”“Maybe there’s hope for you, after all,” Spencer said. “Get your sister in order.”I growled. A low, loud rumbling that felt like it came from my toes. “Nobody gets me in order. We are the ones helping you and we can back out of that at any time.”Spencer lifted a brow. “Did you growl at your future king?”“Did you talk down to a fut

“Shit, I’d do it too,” Sheila said. “Any of us would, isn’t that right, Alec?”Alec was silent and I knew the reason why he wasn’t chiming in. With his mark, he couldn’t be a second.“I know any of you would,” I said. “But I doubt Ace is even going to care.”“Well, y’all are being squishy again, aren’t you?” Star said.I hadn’t noticed the witch’s entrance. “That’s what we do, I guess.”“Worst shifters ever,” she said.“Tell me about it,” Spencer said.“For real, though,” Malcom said. “Tell us you plan on keeping us alive. That you’re not going to sacrifice us for your throne.”“Having you two is beneficial for my rule, why would I want you dead?” Spencer asked. “My brother never had children. His line will end with him. It’s got the alphas all riled up. When he dies, it will mean war. Many would rather see an heir to prevent chaos. I think it’s the only reason his council was able to talk him into keeping me alive rather than executing me. Technically, they could bring me in to preve

I followed Star down the long hall, past several doors until we reached a room at the end.“It’s all yours,” Star said. “I call it the yellow room.”“Well, that’s dubious,” I said as I pushed open the door. Everything in the room was an overwhelming shade of yellow. My lips parted. “You weren’t joking. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much yellow in one place before.”The wallpaper was yellow and white striped, the bed was covered in a pale-yellow quilt, and the lampshades were an almost neon lemon color. I stepped into the room, noting the huge yellow and orange rug that covered most of the wood floor. “Your choices or did it come with the house?”“It came this way. I didn’t ask.” She walked toward a closet and slid open a mirrored door. “It also came with this.”Inside the closet were men’s suits, dress shirts, and ties hung in neat rows. My brow furrowed. “It just showed up in the closet?”“Maybe Winter thought I’d have a friend over some day. I’ve learned not to question the fae to

I pushed him away, trying to clear my mind of all thoughts related to him. My wolf was fighting me, I could feel her conflict. We’d worked this out, hadn’t we?Tyler is no good for us. He’s violent and hateful.Visions of Tyler injured and vulnerable came to mind. He looked like he was in pain and my heart ached for him. What was wrong with me? He deserved all the bad things that were coming to him.He tried to kill me. Again. But he was my mate, chosen by the fates.No. Tyler was never happening.I thought about Alec, unconscious after taking the dose of toxin meant for me. My wolf seemed to ease a little, as if the memory of how awful Tyler really was, came back. This was where I needed to be. As complicated as things were with Alec, there was something there. And I’d give anything to have him be the only romantic possibility in my consciousness. I wasn’t even sure if things with him could be fixed, but despite his poor judgment, he had mostly redeemed himself. He didn’t want me dead

A shiver ran down my spine as I peered down the ominous steps. I didn’t like the thought of going down there, but if Star was there, it could provide more privacy than other parts of the house. I didn’t want an audience for what I was going to ask.You don’t cross a witch. Everyone knew that. Though, the example I’d grown up with had been my own grandfather. While the true history was different, and his curse might not have been the result of his direct actions, it was still a warning. Witches could do things with magic that shifters had no power over.I balled my hands into fists and took a deep breath, steeling myself for the descent. My fear of witches and their magic was less than my fear of being bonded to Tyler for eternity.The bond was getting stronger, and I needed to stop the connection. I had reached the point of desperation. Anything to break the bond would be worth the risks.The only light in the basement came from the orange lamps softly buzzing over the rows of herbs.

I didn’t dream. Even after a shower and allowing my thoughts to wander, I didn’t once think of Tyler in a positive way. No concern for him. No desire.For the first time in a while, I felt like myself. It was as if I was waking from a nightmare.I walked into the kitchen where Sheila and the others were already eating breakfast. It was a bright and welcoming room with windows along one side and a table large enough for eight nestled near the windows. On the counter, several platters were set out, filled with pastries, fruit, scrambled eggs, and sausages. A pot of brewed coffee completed the spread. I wondered how Star got groceries in and who cooked everything.I took in the sight of my friends seated around the table. Kyle and Malcom were speaking quietly, while Sheila stared into space. Alec was the first to notice me. “Good morning.”“Morning,” I said.“Nice dress,” Sheila called.“This old thing?” I did a spin to show off the men’s shirt I was wearing. A tie acted as a belt and th

Alec’s gaze moved to somewhere behind me and a momentary scowl crossed his face.I turned to see Spencer standing in the entryway. “You’re not counting on that group of misfits to help prepare you for breaking into the king’s estate, are you?”“I don’t see any other options,” I pointed out.He poured a cup of coffee, then lifted his chin toward Alec. “The witch wants you downstairs.”“Go,” I said. “I got this.”Alec hesitated, then stood. There was so much unsaid between us, but I didn’t think either of us was clear headed enough to figure out how to say the things we needed to.Spencer sat down next to me. “You remind me of your mom, you know that?”I glanced over at him. “I’m not sure that’s the compliment you think it is.”“I’ll admit, I don’t know what she’s like now, but you should have seen her before you were born.”“Before you abandoned her?” I countered.“I made my choice. Your mother made hers. She must have known she was pregnant, otherwise I don’t think she’d have left. Sh

I was greeted by a trail of rocks outside Star’s home that I knew weren’t there before. Varied in size, the rocks led away from the front door, out into the soft grass and fading from view as they stretched toward the waterfall.“What is all this?” I asked.“My pack might be terrible, but they trained us to connect with our wolves well,” Shelia said. “The rocks are markers for each of the steps. As you complete each component, I remove a rock. They aren’t really needed, but they’re a good visual.”I glanced over at Kyle. “Did you do this?”“We just ran in the woods when we felt like it,” Kyle said. “Pretty sure there was training for Ace’s inner circle, but we weren’t there yet with Tyler.”I recoiled at the name. I didn’t want to think about Tyler at all. Though, I suppose I should be grateful that Ace was lax with his training of his son. How much worse would things have been for me if Tyler was stronger?“I can see why Wolf Creek needs the toxin to get anything done,” Malcom mumble

Alpha's Cursed And Broken Mate Epilogue
The entire household was buzzing as they finished preparations for the Solstice celebration. The longest night of the year happened to fall on a full moon, which meant one party of epic proportions.I took a deep breath as I prepared to greet the guests. While having the alphas of the packs for visits had almost become routine, this gathering was different.Alec took hold of my hand. “You’re going to be great. Nothing bad is going to happen. This is what you’ve been working so hard for the last year.”He was right, of course. And he’d been by my side for every step. I was truly grateful to have such a strong and supportive leader by my side. We’d found a balance in the last year, working together to improve pack relations and begin the process for positive change for all shifters.Tonight we took that a step further. While we’d been working to break down the years of animosity between us and the witches, our alliance was still in its infancy.Shifter and witches both held sacred conne

While my old pack was busy peppering Kyle with questions, I took Alec aside. “You doing okay?”“Yeah,” he said. “I know Kyle’s going to deal with this mess well.”“And you and I get to deal with the bigger mess,” I said. “If my uncle was authorizing Wolf Creek’s use of the toxin to take out their neighbors, what else don’t we know?”“I know Spencer said to give them a chance, but you sure you want a council that enabled that behavior to stick around?” Alec asked.He had a very good point. “I’m not sure I do want them around. But I do think we need to learn from them and find out what has been going on for the last few decades.”“You’re not out of the woods yet. You’re a walking target, you know that, right?” Alec asked.“I know. I wish I wasn’t used to it,” I said. “But at least I’m not alone this time. I’ve got you, Sheila and Malcom. And the four of us can work together to figure out who we can and can’t trust.”“They’re good shifters. Even before Malcom shared his story, I got the

“If it were me, I’d have a couple of guards escort him to his home and give him an hour to pack. Then, I’d kick his ass out.” Horace took a deep breath. “That toxin has been the black mark on my time of service. I would be honored if you’d allow me to help you destroy it.”“I’d like that,” I said.“Guards, escort him to his home. Check the roster for his inner circle, past and present. Kick them all out.” For once, the strict rules and lists for who was considered the alpha’s inner circle worked to my benefit. All packs had to keep records. As long as Ace has been in power, he’s kept track. The positions were valued but there were shifters who’d turned them down. Everyone knew working for Ace meant good things for your family, but it might cost you everything.A pair of my guards escorted Ace away. Several members of his inner circle followed him. Wolf Creek deserved a chance at peace.To my surprise, Viki, Ace’s wife approached me. She had yellow and purple bruises on her face, nearl

“Ace Grant, I strip you of your title and your role as alpha of Wolf Creek,” I said.“No, you can’t do that. You can’t. I earned this.” He stood, his hands balled into fists.For a moment, I thought he might charge me. My guards moved closer and Alec stood in front of me.Ace took a step back and Alec’s tension eased. He stepped aside, but stayed right next to me.“You stole the title,” I said. “You didn’t work for it. You didn’t earn it. You didn’t prove anything to gain it.”“He doesn’t even have a mark,” someone shouted from behind. The gathered shifters cheered in response.“Send him to the caves!” Another voice called. The cheers grew even wilder.I smirked, knowing I had been correct. I was never alone here, we were all prisoners.“Please no, have mercy,” Ace said. “I already lost my son. Isn’t that enough?”“You don’t want to be trapped in the caves?” I had no intention of sending him there, but I had to admit I was enjoying hearing him beg.“I didn’t betray anyone. It’s not a

Wolf Creek was ready to greet the royal family when we arrived. The entire pack turned out, everyone gathered in front of the barn as requested.I could see them waiting as we approached, careful to keep myself hidden from view behind the guards and accompanying council. I didn’t tell them why I wanted to return here, and I was certain they were expecting some kind of happy reunion.Alec was already seething with rage, the emotion far more intense than it should be. My wolf clawed at my chest, wanting to get out to comfort her mate. That’s when I realized I wasn’t just sensing Alec’s emotions, I was feeling his inner wolf. And he was pissed.My wolf was distracted by her mate. Her feelings toward Wolf Creek secondary to his discomfort. It was interesting that Alec’s hate toward Wolf Creek was two-fold. I could feel his personal vendetta against my old pack mixed with a need to protect and defend his mate. In a strange way, it was kind of sweet.“Let me take lead on this,” I said to hi

The four of us stepped through the double doors and the members of the council rose when they saw us. They had been seated at a long wood table, with a dozen chairs. At one end of the table there was a chair twice the size of the others. A crackling fire glowed in a wood fireplace behind it. The floor was dark wood and a red and gold rug sat under the long table. The chandeliers above the table were made of antlers, a very different aesthetic from the crystal I’d seen in the other parts of the home.“Thank you for waiting,” I said, trying to sound more calm and commanding than I felt in the moment.“Of course, your highness,” one of the men said.I walked to the larger chair and sat down. The gathered males took their seats. One side of the table was my family, on the other, the four males who made up my predecessor’s council. It was an odd arrangement, but if Spencer thought it was worth hearing what they had to say, I’d give it a chance.“We are honored that you’re willing to meet w

Breakfast with my friends felt familiar and safe. Sheila, Malcom, and Kyle had mostly waited to eat until we arrived. The guards stood outside the room, and at my instance, the staff was willing to leave the food and let us serve ourselves.To my friends’ credit, they all steered the topic of conversation toward random things that were unrelated to our current situation. It was as if they knew I needed a little break before I had to figure out how to do the job I’d committed to when I took down the old king.We ate till we were all stuffed and laughed at Malcom’s stories about trying to learn how to fix a car and accidentally setting it on fire. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I pictured Mario’s face. “I bet he never let you near his car again.”“Only if I’m trying to fix it. Driving I’m fine with. It’s when you give me tools that it causes an issue.”“I’ll keep that in mind,” I said.“Your highness,” a male voice said.I turned and saw one of my guards. Malaki, I think.He was holdin

I stretched out my hand and he took it. The two of us silently followed Spencer. I didn’t need to look behind me to know that my guards were following me. It was one of those things I was going to have to get used to, I supposed.“Have you seen her this morning?” I asked.“Not yet,” Spencer said.“You think Star can help her?” I asked Alec.“If anyone has a chance, it’s her,” Alec said. “She figured out an antidote to that toxin. And you’ve seen what else she can do.”That was part of my concern. What if Star hadn’t been able to help my mom? If she couldn’t, I wasn’t sure anyone else could.As we continued down hallways lined with doors, and up a few flights of stairs, I considered what I would even say to her. Everything in my mind about my mom was so full of conflict. I wanted to help her, but she was also such a source of pain for me. She might not have been in control, but why did she have to do that to herself in the first place? Why did she flee to Wolf Creek of all places? Why

I woke to the sound of knocking. My eyelids fluttered open as a warm pair of arms pulled me tighter. A smile spread on my lips as the events of last night came flooding into my mind.Of course, the good memories of three rounds of fucking fantastic sex with Alec were followed by the memory of the challenge. I sat up, nearly elbowing Alec in the process.“What’s wrong?” His voice was groggy.“I beat the shifter king last night,” I said.He chuckled. “Yeah, you’re the queen. We already knew that.”“Right, but that means there are people expecting things from me.” I had ideas. Big ideas. Things I wanted to change, but I wasn’t sure what the protocols were or what hoops I’d need to jump through. Spencer had said he’d help.I glanced at the clock on the bedside table. It was ten in the morning.Holy shit.They must have ended the party without me and nobody bothered us all night.I guess there were perks to being the shifter queen.The knock sounded again and I scrambled off the bed, grabbin
