Chapter Sixty-Two: Alex
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Amber is still not home when I get to the house, so I decide to surprise her with her favorite chicken pasta. It’s been a rough day and I know she could use some comfort. That girl goes crazy for cheesy carbs. I’m scooping the pasta into bowls when Amber walks through the front door. I can hear her stomach growling from my place by the stove. She grabs her bowl and inhales it.
“I feel so much better now.”
“I’m glad. What did you find out today?”
“Well, I thought sirens were only rare, but apparently, they’re extinct. Cassie thinks that will put me in more danger. Even if I’m only part siren, other might see me as a threat. That’s another thing. Sirens were often hunted and killed. They’re thought to be too dangerous.”
“So, this is top secret information. Got it. Are you going to transf

The sun brings a relaxed cloak around us when it peeks through the windows. We made it through another night and what a night it was. I’m met with the prettiest eyes the minute I open mine. Before I can give her a proper good morning, a knock interrupts us. Her smile deflates, making me furious at whoever is invading our space.The door opens when we refuse to answer. I pull the blanket up to cover Amber fully. It leaves my chest partially. I could care less about someone seeing me, but I’ll be damned if anyone else gets a peek at what’s mine.“Good morning,” Paige says as she and Colin darken the doorway.“Alpha, Luna. What brings you out of the packhouse so early?”“It’s 11am.”“Still early,” Amber grumbles.“We had h

“Take a deep breath and clear your mind,” Cassie says. “Focus on trying to get into my head. Connections form by attaching themselves to thoughts and memories. Focus on mine.”My inky blue eyes are trained on hers. I do as she says, working to quiet my mind. My thoughts flow out of me like leaves on a river. As soon as nothing remains, Cassie’s thoughts start to filter in. The memories of her childhood flash before my eyes. I hear her giggles as if they were my own. I watch her chase bubbles as if I were there with her. The vivid daydream dims, tainted by the onslaught of a nightmare. Cassie’s next memory is nothing short of a horror movie. Bodies are everywhere.“Okay, that’s enough for today,” Cassie says, moving from my line of sight.“What was that?”“I don’t know,” she turns to look at me. “You

“Because my mate is more important, and when I saw her that night, everything changed. Pain and fear were carved into her face. That’s not something any man wants to see when they find their soulmate. I knew that this all had to end. That I had to change.”“We can understand that,” Peyton says, putting his arm around Claire. “Okay, so what can you tell us about Lyle?”“Well, my group is weak right now. We’ve had to resort to human blood, and many are not handling the change so well. That said, they are still lethal to your kind.”“How long have you been feeding on our girls?”“A few years. Before that, we were like any other vampires.”“How do we beat him?” Alex asks through gritted teeth.I place a hand on his arm, trying to

She leaves us to find James’ grandma. The men turn themselves back into deciding a plan. Thaddeus isn’t as much help as they hoped he’d be. I don’t think they realize it’s because there’s not much more he can tell us that Rita hasn’t already. We can hear her yelling as she walks down the hallway, reprimanding Cassie for pulling her away from the spell she’s creating. The second the door opens. Her voice is taken from her. I follow her eyes to Alpha Ray. Electricity cackles between them. The room goes silent. We’ve all seen it enough times to know what is happening.“No. No,” Rita whispers before turning on her heel and running.My face contorts. Seeing Rita scared is not a common occurrence. Ray’s face falls, but he stays rooted in his place. James and Cassie follow in Rita’s path. Their hushed whispers can be heard through the door.“Gr

My nerves join Zeke in bouncing off the walls. I know Amber is in pain. I can feel it even without opening the bond. I guess this is what Peyton and Colin have been feeling. I hate it. I hate this whole situation, but it’s almost over. I just have to keep reminding myself of that. It. Is. Almost. Over. I say with each exhale, but my nerves won’t settle. “What are we going to do about Thomas?” Peyton asks. Colin looks at Paige before answering. Seeing that she’s distracted by Alpha Stephen and Luna Monica, he answers. “I don’t know. If we find him, I’ll have to punish him, but I don’t know how I can do that.” “Treason is treason. He shouldn’t get a pass just because he’s mated to my sister’s friend.” “No. I know. I do, but I know Thomas, and I don’t think he’d really do this.” “I feel the same. We’re missing something. There’s a reason he did this. We just need to find it,” I interject. “If we text or leave a voicemail, promising lenience, he might respond. We can go from there.”

Peyton clears his throat over his phone. “Thomas wants to meet with all of us. He’ll come here as long as we promise we deal with this privately. He’s only a few minutes away.” “Let’s get ready.” James leaves the three of us to our business just as Thomas walks in. I can hear Val with Paige in the hall, and it dawns on me why he wanted to do this privately. Val has no idea what’s really going on. I mindlink Paige to not tell her everything. I don’t want him thinking we lied. “Alright Thomas, I’m having a hard time understanding why you handed over pack maps to our enemy. Care to explain?” Colin seethes. “Listen, Alpha, I don’t have a choice here. Lyle owns me.”

A shiver disrupts my sleepy peace. My hands search for any sign of warmth next to me, but all they find is an icy absence. I open my eyes and find myself in bed alone. It feels wrong. Where is Alex? I drag my body out of bed. The room spins. I’m still weak from yesterday. My heavy limbs beg me to crawl back into bed, but I want to find Alex first.My palms skate along the walls, keeping me upright. I can hear the sounds of people, several of them if my ears are to be trusted. The smell of bacon and pancakes fills the air. I reach the end of the hallway. The first thing I see is my mate. He’s cooking as usual. Paige, Colin, James, and Cassie are seated at the table, eating. My gaze wanders back to the man responsible for this smile on my face. Even in my exhausted state, the way Alex moves around the kitchen makes desire pool between my legs.The moment Alex tenses, I know he

The next time I open my eyes, Alex is standing over me with shock written all over his face.I sit straight up. “What’s wrong?”The sun is flooding the bedroom, so I know I didn’t miss Lyle’s arrival. I look down at Alex’s hands. They’re filled with an old, tattered book.“What is that Alex?”His gaze meets mine. “I think I know how to win this.”“What?”“I found this book outside. It has all the answers.”I furrow my eyebrows together. “What are you talking about, Alex?”His attention turns back to the weathered book in his hands. He flips through the pages until he finds the one he’s looking for.“Look at this.”

Luckily for us, our specialist agreed to move onto packlands for the last few weeks of my pregnancy. By the time we reach the hospital, I’m in tears from the pain. Our doctor meets us by the front door. “How long are the contractions?” “It’s just a constant pain,” Alex answers as he lays me on the hospital bed. “She’s had no relief.” “Okay. Amber, honey, it’s Dr. Roberts. Are you feeling any pressure to push?” My response is stolen by a sharp bite of pain to my pelvis. I grip Alex’s hand. Every single coping technique I learned during my pregnancy goes out the window. I barely register the rustling of bodies around me or the fact that Dr. Roberts is checking how close to delivery I am. “The babies are

The sound of laughter carries through my childhood home. Alex offered to build a new one right next to the swimming hole, but I didn’t want to ruin that sacred ground. Instead, we turned my father’s old home into our new one. We gutted everything in it and started anew. Now, it’s a place of a happiness. “Princess! Come on, everyone wants to see you,” Alex says, grabbing my hand and dragging me to the living room. “Okay. Okay. Geez, I just wanted some snacks.” “You know, I’m going to have to come up with another name for you once the twins get here.” I lay a hand on my swollen belly. “Yeah, if one of them is a girl.” “Trust me. We’re having a boy and a girl. Just like Paige and Peyton only cuter cause they’ll be ours.”

“Tonight, we welcome Amber Tremaine as Gamma Alex’s mate. She is already a part of our family, now she’ll be a part of our pack. She will receive the title of Gamma female and should be treated with such respect,” Colin states with a clipped tone. “Alex cut into your mate’s palm please.”Paige hands him a small dagger. The handle of it is worn like it’s been used in many ceremonies before ours. His love filled eyes are glued to mine as he slices the knife across my hand. The ache from my splitting skin is overshadowed by the joy I feel. Blood warms the wound as it begins to seep out.“Now, Amber do the same to him, please.”The blade runs through his hand, setting his blood free. I place my bloody palm in his, the mixture of our blood creates a stream of wind around us. Right now, Alex and I are the only two beings in existence. I’m tran

Colin clears his throat. “Good evening, everyone. We have a lot to cover tonight so if you’ll all find your seats, we can get started.” He goes silent waiting for the rustling of moving bodies to stop. “First, I’d like to say thank you all for coming tonight. I know tonight comes at a bitter time for some of you. Paige and I are grateful that you could attend. Second, I’d also like to take a moment to thank each of the fallen. We lost a lot of good people during this fight. I know this was something we’d rather not have to endure but their death was not in vain. We defeated the evil and ended its wrathful reign. I hope that brings solace to their souls and that of their families. Please know that Paige and I are prepared to support you in any way you may need. Just reach out.“Now, I’d like for every person who helped us defeat the Midnight Sin clan to stand,” Colin announces.
Midnight Sin (A Rejected Mate's Romance) Chapter Eighty-Eight: Amber
Choosing to stay in Onyx Flame was an easy choice after Paige’s words. I realize that not every pack member is going to be happy about this. In fact, I’m guessing that more will be angry than happy, but this is my home. I’m tired of running from it. “Are you nervous?” Paige asks. “Not really.” “Ah, so I’m on my own with that then.” “Yeah, but you have a good reason.” Paige slides her fingers through my hair, twisting my dark strands into an intricate up-do. I look at her in the mirror. Her hair flows down her back, her body covered in a black dress. She meets my gaze and smiles at me. “You know, I never thought I’d say this but I’m really glad to call yo
Midnight Sin (A Rejected Mate's Romance) Chapter Eighty-Seven: Alex
My smile widens, and Amber’s jaw drops.“Are you sure?”“Absolutely. We couldn’t think of anyone better,” Paige embraces Amber. “And before you ask, yes, we are sure that we want you to be the godmother. We’re not just asking because you’re Alex’s mate either. We’re asking because I want my child to know what true resilience and strength is. You’ve been through hell more times than any of us but you’re still a good person. You’re an amazing person. Please say yes.”“Yes.”An excited laugh leaves Paige. Her body jumps up as if she just won an award.“Paige and I aren’t announcing to everyone else until the banquet. So, you can’t tell anyone! No one else knows,” Colin says.“We’re the first to know? I feel special,” I laugh.

I meet her eyes as she stands in front of me. Her leg comes out and places a tiny kick to my shin.“There. I hurt you. Happy?”“No. NO. We are not happy. Kick his ass, Amber!” My mother yells.“Really? I’m your son!”She shrugs. “I came for a show.”My mother looks to Amber with a glint in her eye. Amber chuckles before facing me. “I guess I’ll be giving everyone a show then.”A devilish smile covers her face. A shiver of fear spreads over me. Oh, this might be the worst decision I’ve ever made.No, rejecting her was. You deserve this for hurting her and for hurting us, Zeke snarls.Amber’s fist connects with my right eye. Fuck, she can punch
Midnight Sin (A Rejected Mate's Romance) Chapter Eighty-Five: Alex
I blow the steam from my coffee and look at my sleeping mate. It took me hours to get her calmed down last night. When I found her at the swimming hole, she was in tears. She couldn’t even get the words out to tell me what happened. But when she finally did, I was heartbroken for her. Knowing that Linda killed her mother and watching Linda kill her mother are two different types of pain. My tongue recoils to the touch of the still too hot coffee. I jerk the cup from my mouth, spilling a little down my shirt.“Fuck,” I hiss.Amber’s eyes open, finding mine immediately. She sits up, her face still stained from yesterday’s burdens.“Sorry, didn’t mean to wake you.”“It’s time to get up anyways. I have training.”“Oh, okay. Get dressed and I’ll walk you down.”
Midnight Sin (A Rejected Mate's Romance) Chapter Eighty-Four: Amber
I’ve sent most of my kingdom to live safely on the surface, hidden from those who want our lives. It’s just me and my mother left. I’ve been putting off running for so long because I want Troy to choose me. I hate how I’ve pined for him, hoping that on one of my visits, he’ll realize that I’m who he is supposed to be with. All the men that I’ve had in the years since have never come close to what I felt when I was with him. They never will but I have to let this idea of being his go. He’s happy with Linda, and I have to accept that. At least living on the surface, I might get to see Amber more. Amber jumps on my glittering, purple tail. “Always with the tail, my pearl. You have no idea how much I wish I could give you one of your own.” “Mama, look!” Amber hands me a drawing that she made. Me with my purp
