Alpha's Cursed And Broken Mate chapter 134
A moment later, the crowd parted again and Chris Lupton, the shifter king himself, walked into the circle. The gathered shifters cheered and whooped, making their final bid of allegiance to the candidate they thought would win. I didn’t blame them. I was nobody and I was so much smaller than my opponent.He’d had years of shifting and fighting under his belt. I was new to everything. There was a good possibility I wouldn’t live past tonight, but I refused to fully acknowledge that. I sent the thought away, determined to tempt fate again.I’d done it so many times before, what made tonight different? I’d lived through injuries that should have killed me and when I’d been trapped in a cave to die, I’d emerged stronger than ever. Okay, fine, I was at death’s door a few days ago and my wolf saved me, but that experience brought me my wolf. With her, I was capable of anything. I knew I had yet to even touch on what was possible when we connected.The king began to strip his clothes, tossin

The shifter king’s wolf was impressive. His fur was a pale gray with black markings and he was just as large as the other powerful males I’d seen. While I was confident in my wolf’s abilities, I was at a disadvantage based on size. Unless I found a way to use that.My wolf was practically vibrating with pent-up anger. She wanted to make the larger wolf pay for what he’d done to Spencer, Malcom, and Mom. She wanted to make him pay for enabling shifters like Ace to continue their abuse of power. I wanted to humiliate him.The two of us seemed to be on the same page. Equal partners, our minds working together as two halves of the same whole. We’d only shifted a few times, but we’d never been this connected. We were finally working together as we should.The king’s wolf circled me, his strides long and confident. He moved slowly, the muscles in his back and shoulders rippling with his motions. Each step was intentional and focused. I could tell he was trying to intimidate me. That was not

The king was limping now, but he wasn’t done yet. In a move I didn’t see coming, he charged us, knocking my wolf to the ground. I gasped and let out a yelp as we landed, my head hitting the stone. My vision blurred, and I felt a little nauseous. That was a major blow and I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to get up right away.We were in a tight spot, claws digging into our chest, flat against the ground. The king’s wolf growled, teeth bared. He leaned closer and I was terrified he was going to rip my wolf’s throat out.My wolf seemed to growl internally. As if she was mad at me. Just as I was about to snap back at her in my head, I realized I’d slipped up. I was letting the human part take the lead. Usually if we were pinned, I could get us out, but right now, the human part of me was fuzzy and injured.I relinquished control, letting my wolf take charge.Get us out of this.With a movement that caused searing pain, my wolf twisted. The king’s claws tore through our skin, but with a

Silence had never been so overwhelming. Nobody in the gathered group said a word. There was no movement, no wind, no anything.I lifted my chin, hoping I didn’t look as exhausted and relieved as I felt.Then, his words hit me.Queen.That was how it worked, but I hadn’t thought that through. I wanted the power, I wanted to win. But I’d said I didn’t want to be queen. Even if it was exactly what I knew I needed.Once, being a part of the feral shifters would have been enough. Now, queen was what I needed. The whole system was broken. The only way to repair it was from the top.I turned toward movement and noticed that Spencer and Malcom were fighting their restraints. I padded over to them, still in wolf form and growled at the guards.“She wants you to release them,” Star said.The guards looked from her over to their fallen king. He didn’t lift his head. I growled again.“Release them. On order of your queen,” Star said.To my surprise, the guards did as ordered. Spencer and Malcom r

They hauled him away, presumably taking him off the grounds. I was proud of myself for holding back and not killing him and I hoped he was smart enough to keep his distance.“Thought you might want these, your highness,” the housekeeper woman held up my black pants, shirt, and jacket that I’d abandoned in the storage closet.“Thank you,” I said. “Seriously. For everything.” I pulled on my clothes, grateful for the warmth.She smiled. “We waited a long time for someone to stand up to him.”“What’s your name?” I asked.“Claire,” she said.“Do you like your job, Claire?” I asked.She laughed. “I’m pretty sure I got myself fired tonight.”“I think your boss is the only one who got fired tonight,” Malcom said.“What are you good at, Claire?” I asked.Her smile faded and she looked down at her hands.“What’s wrong?” My brow furrowed. Had I offended her?She looked up. “I had a mark once. I was meant to be a protector. I’m not sure if I’m good at it, because they didn’t let me try.”“Do you

Most of the guests found their way back into the house and I was left standing outside with Spencer, Star, and a few lingering males in security uniforms.“You don’t need to stand out here with me,” I said.“We do, we swore to protect the king. That means we stay to protect you,” one of them said.I looked at Star. “Is that blood magic still binding everyone here?”“Yeah,” she said. “It’s holding strong.”“I don’t want it to,” I said.The guards shifted uncomfortably. “The blood magic has always been used for security. It’s how we stopped the last attempt. No offense.” He nodded to Spencer. “You know we were all pulling for you.”Spencer growled. “I lost friends that day.”“We all did,” another guard added. “We all gave up on ever seeing the king’s reign end that day as well.”“I’m not going to rule that way,” I said.“It’s going to take me a few weeks to get rid of all the blood magic,” Star said. “But I can disable enough tonight so that our friends can step foot on the property at

We walked down a hall lined with landscape paintings and past a library overflowing with books. I paused to take it in. The shelves were two stories high, complete with sliding ladder. I had a feeling my uncle never opened a single book.I resumed walking, telling myself I could ask for a tour later when there weren’t a whole ton of shifters having a party a few rooms away. Finally, my entourage stopped in front of a door.“This is a guest suite,” James said.“Thank you.” Everything ached and the healing wounds felt tight every time I moved, irritating them. I needed to get them cleaned and I needed to rest.“Can you let my friends know where I am?” I asked.James nodded. “I’ll stay at your door. Cole will find your friends.”“Alright.” James must be the leader. I was sure there was some kind of hierarchy. There was so much for me to learn but most of it was going to have to wait.I let myself into the room and found a light switch on the wall near the door. When I flipped it on, I ga

I’d felt a pull toward Alec since we met, but I struggled to let him in. Now, every inch of me was drawing us closer. Desperate to feel his skin against mine, I slid my hands under his shirt and up his bare chest. It was as if my very soul was waking, urging me forward to complete the bond with him.Alec quickly pulled his shirt over his head and tossed it aside. His mouth claimed mine in the most hungry, intense kiss I’d ever felt. My body responded, heat growing low in my belly, wetness already spreading between my legs. I kissed him back, hard and fast and a little sloppy as I tried to also undo the buttons I’d just fastened.His fingers joined mine, the two of us unwilling to break the connection to stop and take my shirt off. We were moving backward, closer to the bed, as we continued the attempt to remove my clothes.Alec pulled away, breaking the kiss. I wined, desperate to feel his lips on mine again. With a growl, Alec pulled the fabric of my shirt apart, buttons popping as th

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
