CHAPTER 65: EVERLY, MEET EVAN

EVERLY :

It took a while before I was able to convince the Lycan warriors to return to Crescent Moon. Going from one pack to another with a bunch of Lycans would put werewolves on edge.

I stood at the border of Mooncity Pack, and gripped the small talisman the priestess had given me. It pulsed faintly in my palm, and made my skin warm. But I couldn't tell if it was going to lead me in the right direction.

“Come on,” I muttered, as I tightened my fingers around it. “Which way now?”

The talisman didn’t react.

With a sigh, I stuffed it back into my backpack and moved on, stepping onto yet another foreign soil. This was the third pack I had visited, and if I didn’t find anything here, I’d just keep going.

While I tried to remember the exact image of my brother which I had seen at the temple, a sharp scream interrupted my thoughts.

I stiffened as I listened intently. The sound came from somewhere up ahead, followed by a chorus of rough laughter. My instincts

  • THE ALPHA KING'S GIFTED MATE    I'M YOUR SISTER

    CHAPTER 66: I'M YOUR SISTER EVERLY:I looked at Evan who stood in front of me and felt peaceful in my heart. My heart was joyous and I could feel how it pounded in my chest. I was happy, excited and nervous all at once. They were many, the emotions that ran through my veins. As I continued to look at him, it was as if I was looking at the male version of me. He had my sharp jawline, and the same piercing blue eyes. Even his hair was the same shade of blond as mine. He knitted in-between his brows, the way I always did when I was confused. Yet, he looked at me suspiciously while he folded his arms tightly across his chest.“Hi, Evan,” I said sweetly, rising to great him.He regarded my outstretched hand suspiciously and took it reluctantly in a handshake.“Hi,” he said dryly.The elderly woman entered the room again, carrying a cup of tea which she placed on a table in front of me. “Have some tea, child,” she said with a smile.She then turned to Evan. “Evan dear, we have Everly t

  • THE ALPHA KING'S GIFTED MATE    EVERYTHING ABOUT OUR MOTHER

    CHAPTER 67: EVERYTHING ABOUT OUR MOTHER EVERLY:I gazed into Evan's eyes, then slid my hand into my backpack and brought out the only thing I had that could convince him. It was a pendant that had been around my neck since birth. "This was our mother’s," I whispered. "She had one made for both of us. Do you recognize it?"Evan looked at the pendant for a while, then slid his hand into his shirt pocket and removed an identical pendant.My heart leaped into my throat."You have it too," I breathed.Evan looked at me, his hands trembling. "I’ve had this since I was a baby. I thought it was from my Mum."Tears gathered in my eyes. "But it was from her. From our mother."We lapsed into silence for more than a minute while realization settled over him. And then, finally, Evan’s gaze softened."I don’t know what to say," he murmured."You don’t have to say anything," I whispered. "Come here." I rose to my feet and spread my arms, waiting for him to give me an embrace.He came to me slowly,

  • THE ALPHA KING'S GIFTED MATE    I WANT TO GO WITH YOU

    CHAPTER 68: I WANT TO GO WITH YOU EVERLY:I woke up at 4:pm and prepared to leave. Since I forced the Lycan warriors to return to Crescent Moon, I didn't want Kaelan to worry.Evan stayed close to me, as if he was afraid I would disappear if he looked away. But I knew I had to leave him eventually.He stood by the door as I strapped my bag over my shoulders. "I want to go with you," he said.I paused, glancing at him. "It’s not that simple, Evan.""Why not?" He frowned. "I thought you said you wanted us to figure things out together."I sighed. "We will. But I'm mated to the Alpha King and he needs to be informed about this before I can bring you along."“You're a Luna?” Evan looked awed.I smiled radiantly. “Yes I am. It's only been a few months since I was crowned.”“You're lucky. I haven't even found my mate.” He looked sober suddenly. I put a hand on his shoulder. “It's alright. You'll find your mate when the time is ripe.” There was no need to hurry. Evan was only my age.He n

  • THE ALPHA KING'S GIFTED MATE    I MISSED YOU

    CHAPTER 69: I MISSED YOU EVERLY:It was late when I entered Crescent Moon. The journey took more than two hours despite the fact that I ran all the way. It's one of the benefits of being a werewolf, being able to travel long distances on foot. As soon as my feet touched the soil of Crescent Moon territory, I changed back to my human form and quietly headed to the main gate. I hesitated at the gates of the castle, my heart pounding as I stared at the shiny decorations placed carefully against the iron bars."I missed you," the decorations read.The words were designed with tiny light bulbs, and it looked so beautiful. I smiled and slowly ran my hands through the decorations.This was Kaelan's doing.After I had admired the decorations for a while, I entered the castle and headed to my room but I noticed the petals scattered along the path leading to my room. Also, the sweet smell of roses could be felt in the air.I felt a tingle in my stomach.He did this for me?My boots clicked l

  • THE ALPHA KING'S GIFTED MATE    NO WHERE TO BE FOUND

    CHAPTER 70: NOWHERE TO BE FOUND EVERLY:I went downstairs after Kaelan sent Maria to inform me that the breakfast was served. Apart from training quite often, I've fallen into the habit of making hand-knitted sweaters for kids. I made sure I gave one handmade sweater to one child in each family in the pack.It was my own little way of making an impact.As I entered the dining room, the lavish breakfast spread on the table. The scent of freshly baked bread and roasted meat filled the air, and the effect of it made my stomach growl.Kaelan gestured for me to sit opposite him, which I obliged.Kaelan's eyes watched me as he sliced through his steak. He had been unusually gentle this morning, his touches lingered, and his voice softer than usual.“You’re not eating,” he noted, his brow arching slightly.I sighed, setting my fork down. “I have too much on my mind.”He leaned forward, resting his forearms on the table. “Tell me.”I breathed before speaking. “I found my brother.”Kaelan no

    CHAPTER 71: WHERE'S THE SHINING ARMOUR?KAELAN:I prepared myself for war and rushed out of the castle.How the hell did this happen?I didn't know if I should blame myself for growing weaker now or my Lycans for not standing up to their responsibility.Or was there yet another conspiracy?Everly wanted to come with me but I wouldn't let her. She had just returned from a two-day journey and needed to rest.I headed toward the Silver Cross pack, with Owen and a few Lycans. When we approached their borders, I froze as I saw the bodies of three Lycans scattered across the ground.The once-powerful bodies of my Lycans lay lifeless on the ground.My chest heaved in anger as I charged forward. I crouched down and took a closer look at their bodies. Something had torn through them like they were nothing more than paper.Claws’s mark was evident. Claws.That cursed monster.Claws was a monster that enjoyed killing werewolves. He was named Claws because of how enormous and deadly his claws we

    CHAPTER 72: BE PATIENT, WARRIORS EVERLY:I waited until the warrior came close enough. "What did you find?""We found a dagger and a piece of parchment behind the oak tree.” he responded while his chest heaved.My eyes narrowed. “Behind the oak tree?” That was exactly where I found Lydia's body ten years ago.Someone was trying to keep me on edge.“Come and show me.”I followed him to the oak tree where the warriors had gathered in a tight circle. They moved aside to give me access.A dagger was buried into the ground, pinning a piece of parchment beneath it. The parchment was stained with blood.I ripped it free and unfolded it."You thought you were the hunter. But now, you have become the hunted. If you want your precious armor, come and find me. - Viktor"I folded the paper and put it in my pocket..Viktor.So Viktor has the armour?His intention, of course, is obvious.Who wouldn't want to be the king and have the primordial mate?I felt a dangerous growl rumble in my chest.

  • THE ALPHA KING'S GIFTED MATE    FIGHTING CLAWS

    CHAPTER 73: FIGHTING CLAWS KAELAN;I rubbed my eyes with the back of my hands when I saw a werewolf fighting Claws at the edge of the forest. It was a female werewolf with golden fur…Wait.What the freaking heck….“Everly!!!!!!” I literally screamed my lungs out.On my way here, I had felt my heart tightened in fear for no reason. I knew something was wrong the moment I caught Everly’s scent intertwined with the smell of something unnatural.Right now, she wasn't just Everly.She has turned into a beast of her own.She stood in the clearing, her form no longer just a werewolf but something ancient, and primordial. The shadows circled around her like a snake. Her fur stood on ends, and her claws extended beyond one feet. They gleamed like obsidian, ready to unleash terror. Her golden eyes burned with an eerie glow as she circled the massive beast before her.This was Claws we're talking about here, right?The beast that kills with no mercy.And now, Everly stood before him, challen

  • THE ALPHA KING'S GIFTED MATE    EPILOGUE

    EPILOGUE It was the full moon and the gentle breeze stirred the trees, making the palace look very alluring.Crescent Moon has been peaceful for so many months now. This was a hard-earned peace. The occupants of this pack and palace had gone through years of struggle, sacrifice and resilience.Kaelan stood on the balcony of his chambers, and surveyed the vast territory he now ruled. The once-fractured packs of the country were now unified under his reign, and Crescent Moon had become a beacon of progress. He had built industries that now flourished, and provided security and wealth, while the werewolf college he had also recently built ensured that future generations were educated in both the ways of the world and the sacred traditions of their kind.He heard the soft giggle of his toddler and turned to see Everly standing in the doorway. Her eyes were filled with warmth as she carried her son, Maxine in her arms.Maxine was now a vibrant toddler with wild curls and eyes as deep and

  • THE ALPHA KING'S GIFTED MATE    THE HEIR IS HERE

    CHAPTER 159: THE HEIR IS HERE EVERLY:When Kaelan returned in the evening and learnt about the Carter incident, he became very angry with me.“I told you not to leave our chambers. What did you go to the clinic for?”“I'm sorry, Kaelan. I only wanted to comfort the boy.” I explained.“And what did you get in return, huh? You almost had yourself killed with my pup in your womb.”“Oh, this is all about protecting your pup,” I said calmly.“Don't get me more upset than I already am,. Everly,” he said coldly and stormed out of our room.A moment later, I heard him yelling at someone downstairs and when I looked through the balcony, I saw him yelling at Owen. He told him he was incompetent and couldn't handle a simple task of protecting the Luna.Owen was on his knees begging.I wanted to go downstairs to explain things further but I knew it would make him even more furious. So I held my breath and wished he could calm down. He did calm down eventually but things never remained the same

    CHAPTER 158: DUNCAN IS DEAD EVERLY:When we left the clinic, Kaelan decided to go to the library to check things out. He was going through some reports when Owen knocked.“Come in,” he responded impatiently.Owen walked in with hesitant steps. “Alpha, Duncan request an audience with you.”Kaelan closed the file in his desk and turned to him. “Is this some kind of a joke? Do you really think I'm jobless? You should know the rules, Owen. I don't go about entertaining wolves from the dungeon.”Owen bowed. “I'm sorry, Alpha.” And then left the room.We spent a few more minutes in the library and then went upstairs. From this moment onward, Kaelan became clingy. He never let me out of his sight. It has been weeks since the rogues abducted me from the market and almost killed me but I still had nightmares. Kaelan was worried and decided that we should seek the help of a certain witch. But I didn't want to go.I couldn't visit a witch with a pup in my womb. Kaelan decided to go alone. I

    CHAPTER 157: ARTIFICIAL FINGERS?EVERLY Viktor let go of my hand when we stepped out of the cell where the rogues had kept me. The building was hidden in a remote forest and I wondered how Viktor was able to locate this place.“I didn't come alone,” he said as if he read my mind. “There are ten Lycans out there, destroying the rogues.”He led me through a hidden path and I saw a car in the distance, waiting.“You brought a car.” I was pleasantly surprised.“Yes, I know you can't shift because of the pregnancy and walking more than twenty miles back to Crescent Moon would be dangerous for you and the pup.”I was impressed with Viktor's thoughtfulness. Who would've thought that the werewolf’s greatest villain had such a good side.I got into the car as soon as we got there and Bennett drove the car away.Beauty was at the gate of the car, pacing. She knew Viktor and the Lycans had gone to rescue and she was obviously anxious. I told Bennett to stop so I could go down. Beauty ran into

    CHAPTER 156: YOU TOOK A BLADE FOR ME EVERLY:Kaelan had been gone for three days.The palace felt empty without him, and each second, I looked forward to his return. It doesn't even matter that Beauty was always in my room, keeping me company.To distract myself, I decided to go shopping with Beauty. “I need some fresh air,” I told her that morning. “And I'm yet to buy baby stroller. Maybe I will see the one I like in the market today.”She grinned. “Sure. Can I come with you?”“Of course,.you can. Kaelan will be mad if he finds out I went to the market alone,” I told her.“Then we need to take some guards,” Beauty suggested. “Just for protection.”I nodded. “Okay. Two or three guards will do.”Beauty went downstairs and informed Owen that we needed three guards to escort us to the market. He made them available immediately.I told the guards to wait in the car when we arrived at the market. I didn't want what happened the last time Beauty and I came to the market to repeat itself ag

    CHAPTER 155: YOU'RE WELCOME, BABEEVERLY:I felt so furious hearing Kaelan talk about my past in that manner. I don't know if it's the pregnancy hormones but I get easily annoyed these days.I didn't make a fuss. I simply left him in the kitchen and retreated to my room. I always did that whenever Kaelan annoyed me.“Luna, I'm sorry,” he said as he entered my room, a few minutes later, looking worried. “I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.”“You don't always mean to hurt me but you always do,” I replied dryly.I was busy knitting a cap for my unborn pup. Kaelan wrapped his arms around my shoulders and buried his head in my neck.“Don't be annoyed, my Luna.”I didn't utter another word.The silence between us grew awkward.“I'm planning on going for a short business trip.” he whispered.I dropped the pins and turned to him. “Oh I get it. You're fed up with me and now you want to abandon me with your pup in my womb.”Kaelan withdrew his arms from my shoulders and gazed into my eyes. “Ho

    CHAPTER 154: I DESERVE WORSEKAELAN:I instructed Owen to take off Viktor's shackles and get him a room in the warrior's lounge. I provided a few pieces of clothing and some toiletries for him. He looked too haggard and really needed to clean up.“I will never again fail you, Alpha.” Viktor couldn't stop expressing his gratitude.But I didn't let my guard down.For days, I kept a keen watch over Viktor, trying to see if there was a reason to doubt him. But there was none yet.Perhaps I needed to put him through a test. And I wasn’t going to make it easy.This morning, Everly curled her arms around me, sleeping soundly. I gazed at her beautiful face. It looked a bit fragile and I couldn't help but plant a wet kiss on her lips.Then I untangled her arms and got out of bed. I headed straight to the tiny room I had given Viktor in the warrior’s lounge.Most of my warriors weren't happy about sharing the lounge with the same terrorist Alpha who had seen to the death of so many Lycans in C

Why would Viktor request an audience with me after all the terrible things he had done?I can be ruthless when I want to. But I can also be considerate. It wouldn't hurt just to hear him out.Owen was in the library with me, waiting for my response. “So what does he want?” I asked, barely looking up from the reports on my desk.“He says he wants to apologize.” Owen informed me.Viktor wants to apologize? That's interesting! For a moment, I didn't say a word.Everly was on the couch, reading a book on pregnancy. She looked up suddenly. “Maybe you should hear him out.”I scoffed. “You think he’s changed?”“I think he has nothing left to lose,” she said simply.That was true.Viktor had lost his pack, his status, his

We have duties to perform and I needed to leave before my pregnancy hormones start acting up.Kaelan drove us back to Crescent Moon and as soon as we saw Owen, standing by the gate, looking grim, I knew something was up.Kaelan pulled to a halt and whined down the glass. “Is there a problem?”.Owen sighed as he scratched his head. “It’s Viktor. He’s throwing a fit in the dungeon.”I frowned. Viktor? We had almost forgotten that he existed. He had withdrawn to his shell after he lost all his ten fingers.Kaelan also frowned. “And I'm supposed to be bothered about that?”“Alpha, Viktor has been making a fuse all day,” Owen reported, looking annoyed. “Everyone is fed up with his tantrum.”Kaelan stepped down from the car, crossed his arms and leaned on the car. I stepped down too but I didn't go to him. I was tired and wanted to go upstairs. The way I rubbed my stoma
