CHAPTER 13: I LOVE YOU TOO

KAELAN;

It was getting late and we needed to get out of the forest fast. Not that I was afraid—a Lycan King can never show fear—but I didn't want to put Everly in any form of danger. The fastest way to get back home was by moving in our Wolf forms.

I caught a glimpse of her Wolf today but it wasn't very strong. So I shifted back to my Lycan form and crouched down, ordering her to climb on top of my back. She hesitated for a moment and obeyed. As she held tightly onto me, I raced with a lightning speed.

In a quarter of an hour, we were back in the castle.

As we returned home, I noticed Everly was unusually quiet.

Too quiet.

“What's on your mind, beautiful girl.”

“Nothing,” she said without meeting my gaze.

I watched her all evening, hoping to see a change in her attitude but she remained cold and aloof. Dinner was served and as we settled down to eat, I focused my gaze on her.

It was unlike her to sit silently, with her fork pushing food around and he

  • THE ALPHA KING'S GIFTED MATE    SHE IS A ROGUE

    CHAPTER 14: SHE IS A ROGUE EVERLY:“Alpha King,” Elder Jonas greeted. His graying hair was a testament to his decades of service to our kingdom. His tone was respectful, but the unease in his eyes betrayed his intentions.“Elders,” I said, standing tall. “I summoned you all here to introduce my mate to you. Her name is Everly and she is from the Silver Cross, one of the pack's within our kingdom.”Jonas exchanged a glance with Elder Miriam, the oldest and often most vocal member of the council. She's also Seraphina 's mother.“Oh you found a mate,” Miriam said, her voice sharp. “ And her name is Everly.”The sound of Everly's name on Miriam’s tongue sent a flicker of anger through me, but I kept my face neutral. “Yes?”“She is... a rogue,” Jonas began delicately. “We understand if you claim she is your mate, but her arrival has stirred unease among some of the pack.”“Unease?” I echoed, my voice dangerously low.Miriam folded her hands with a stern expression . “She was chased out of

    CHAPTER 15: REVEALING THE PROPHECY EVERLY:As the last elder left the chamber, Kaelan took my hand and led me to his room. This was the first time I've entered his room and it made my breath hitch. His room was spacious and luxuriously furnished. I stared at his portrait that hung on the wall. It was a captured image of him, sitting on his throne, wearing all the regal attires of a Lycan King. It was beautiful.Suddenly, Kaelan turned me around and pinned me against the wall, gazing at me with lustful eyes. I blushed and lowered my lashes, unable to meet his gaze. He lifted my chin so I could look at him. “You’re beautiful, Everly,”“Thank you, Kaelan. You are handsome too.” I blurted before I could stop myself.His gaze became more intense and he lowered his lips to mine. His lips brushed mine in a seductive way and I felt my body ache for his touch. He deepened the kiss, while his hand moved down my back until it settled on my butt and squeezed gently. He kiss me so passionately

    CHAPTER 16: MY FIRST CONTESTEVERLY:After Kaelan said those words, my heart trembled in fear. It was almost impossible to believe that there would be such a strong prophecy about someone as insignificant as me.All these years I had lived like a puppet, thinking I was created by mistake. But the Moon Goddess had bigger plans. Oh how I wish I could bring prosperity to the werewolf kingdom instead of doom.Well, I was just going to do my best and leave the rest for the goddess above. Kaelan and I spent the rest of the night in each other's arms while he occasionally traced wet kisses around my neck. I returned to my room in the morning and found breakfast already waiting for me.Kaelan had left early for a business engagement so we aren't sharing breakfast today. I ate my food in silence, feeling bored already. I can't really explain it but I've begun to feel empty whenever Kaelan wasn't around.I didn't have much activities to participate in, in the castle, especially after Kaelan

    CHAPTER 17: THE ELDERS PROTEST KAELAN:I was worried about the unnatural glow I saw in Everly's eyes during that fight and decided to keep an eye on her.Later in the evening, I walked into her room and found her sitting on her bed, totally drenched in cold sweat.“Are you alright?” I enquired gently as I walked toward her. I could see her chest heaving and her face pale.“What's wrong, Everly?”“I had a nightmare,” she said softly.“What was it about?”“An unseen force crept into my body and I felt suffocated,” she told me.I searched her face, wondering what was going on. Just then, I received a message from Duncan, my Beta through the mind link. The werewolf council members are here to see you. “Go and have a bath,” I said to Everly.”I'll be back in a short while.”—I walked into the Council Chambers and felt the tension in the room. I took my seat and glanced around the faces of the elders, wondering why they were here. The Council Chamber was usually a space for calm delibera

    CHAPTER 18: AN ALPHA COMMAND EVERLY:I went downstairs looking for Kaelan since he wasn't in his room and neither was he in the library.I was almost heading to the gardens when I heard muffled voices of the elders in the Council Chambers. Out of curiosity, I stood and listened, pressing my ears to the wall."Everly is a threat!" Miriam’s voice was sharp, and the way she spoke about me felt like a stab to my heart. “What she did today is nothing but witchcraft. You’re risking the pack for whatever feelings you think you have for.""I will not banish her," Kaelan replied, his voice firm and unwavering. "She’s under my protection, and she has done nothing to harm this pack. I will make her my Luna.”I felt my heartbeat quicken in fear. Luna. The way the elders spoke ill of me, made me sick to my stomach and I suddenly felt that I didn't want to be part of this pack anymore.Kaelan’s pack didn’t trust me. They didn't want me. I was a stranger, an outsider, and my presence was causing

    CHAPTER 19: CHASING OFF THE ROGUES KAELAN:I watched Duncan as his chest heaved. “What's the matter, Duncan?”"Alpha!" he exclaimed, bowing briefly before he straightened, "We've got some rogues near the southern border. They’ve already crossed into our territory."My body tensed instantly. Today seemed to be a bad day. I had just gotten off arguing with the elders and now this? "How many are they?""At least twenty," Duncan said. "But there could be more. Marcus appears to be... organizing them."Marcus. This is a bit serious. Rogues were typically scattered, and disorganized, and most times they acted on impulse. The fact that Marcus was involved meant they have strategized and that could be trouble.I turned to Everly, “I've got to go, my love.”“Can I come with you?”“No. Not even in your dream.”“But I could be of help,” she said with pleading eyes. “Please.”“The answer is no. Go get some rest, I can handle it.”I watched as she pouted and walked away reluctantly. Then I tu

    CHAPTER 20: I CAN DEFEND MYSELF KAELAN:By the time I reached the castle, it was already dark. I scanned the surroundings and when I found no sign of chaos, I shifted back to my human form. I walked into my study and collapsed on the sofa, feeling totally drained. The events of today were definitely something to worry about and it weighed heavily on my shoulders. I sat in my study, and stared at the map of our territory spread out before me. Duncan soon walked in and stood nearby, his expression grim."The timing of this attack," I said, breaking the silence. "It’s too convenient."Duncan nodded. "You’re thinking someone inside the pack tipped them off?""Not just anyone," I said, my jaw tightening. "A member of the displeased Council members might have thought to put me on edge."Duncan’s eyes widened. "That’s a serious accusation, Alpha.""I don’t make accusations lightly," I said. "Think about it, Duncan . They’ve been pushing for Everly’s exile, claiming she’s a threat to the p

    CHAPTER 21: LOOK WHO'S HERE KAELAN:Everly and I walked into my room and I made her sit on the bed while I pulled a chair and sat opposite her.She looked a bit upset and I tried to guess why. The only explanation I could come up with was my refusal to let her go to battle with me.“You know, Everly, time will come when we'll go to battles together, side by side, defending our throne, our people and our love. But there's no need to rush. You need to learn and be incorporated into our ways of doing things.”When I saw how she shivered, I put a jacket over her shoulders and led her closer to the fireplace. We both felt warm as we sat down by the fireplace, my thumb brushing over her knuckles. "You’re important to me, Everly," I said softly. "I don’t want to see you hurt."She looked up at me, her eyes searching mine. "I’m not used to someone caring so much," she admitted."You’ll have to get used to it," I said, a smile tugging at my lips.Reaching into my pocket, I pulled out a sleek

  • 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

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

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
