THE ALPHA’S ACCUSED MATE Chapter 15
LUCIEN'S POV.An inexplicable overwhelming sensation washes through me the moment I step into my living room. I suddenly feel excited to be home. I don't know if it's because Aurora is here and I'll see her soon, or because I'm just happy to be back to my house.It has got to be the latter.“Welcome home, Alpha.” One of my servants, Elisa, greets as she comes to meet me in the living room. She's a middle aged woman and the head servant here in my house. She's been working for me for a long time now. I respect her very much.“Thank you, Elisa.” She gestures for one of the other servants to take my bag which she does quietly. “How's Aurora?” I ask Elisa with a neutral look on my face.Just saying Aurora's name has got my heart beating abnormally. I'm eager to go upstairs and see her.“She's fine.” Elisa replies and I can feel the coldness in her tone. She might be my servant and I don't interact with her often, but five years has been enough time for me to study her and know how to read
THE ALPHA’S ACCUSED MATE CHAPTER 16
Chapter 16AURORA'S POV.My eyes dart to the clock hanging on the wall ahead of me and an exasperated sigh escapes my chest when I read the time.It's two am in the morning. I've not been able to get an ounce of sleep since Alpha Lucien left. I keep turning on the bed like a rotisserie chicken with a million thoughts swimming in my mind. Mostly painful thoughts of my father and Crew's accusation and my sister's death. I don't even know which to be sad about right now.Should I be sad about her sudden death? or that I'm being accused of killing her?Tss…This is frustrating the hell out of me.I bury my face in the pillow and scream, but my voice is swallowed by the pillow. I lay back on my back, stare at the ceiling above and start mumbling to myself.“Rhea… I know you didn't like me very much when you were alive, but you know I'm innocent. You know I’d never think of hurting you, not to talk of killing you. Please help me get out of this mess.”Then an idea strikes my mind. It's prob
THE ALPHA’S ACCUSED MATE CHAPTER 17
AURORA'S POV.I'm running through the forest barefooted with a ferociously beating heart. The gust of wind blowing through the trees whips my face like a hundred lashes, but I'm too terrified to feel the pain. My right hand is fisting the hem of my skirt, holding it up so it doesn't impair my leg movements as I run past the trees to a place I don't know. The Moon is hanging low in the sky, casting a soft, silver glow over everything in sight, illuminating the racing track that's thick with shrubs and dried leaves that cry every time I step on them. My heart is hammering in my chest and I dare not to look back.I don't even have the time to stop and look back because if I do, she's going to catch up with me.She has been following in these woods for hours now, saying the same thing over and over again. I didn't…“And where do you think you're going?” The image of my sister Rhea, suddenly appears in front of me and I scream my lungs out as I come to a halt.There she is, standing befo
THE ALPHA’S ACCUSED MATE Chapter 18
AURORA'S POV.“I feel like the weather outside is cold, can I please go back and put on a sweater?” I ask Elisa who’s walking ahead of me as politely as I can. She stops walking and so do I and the dangerous side eyes she gives me makes me gulp dryly.“Don't be such a wussy! The weather is just fine. You don't need a pullover.” She turns ahead and walks on. I turn behind and I'm greeted with angry looks from the other girls walking behind me. I let out a quiet sigh and let Elisa lead me all the way down to the living room. We're not outside yet, but I can already feel the hair on my arms standing erect as the cold air blowing into the living room whips my flesh. “Alpha Lucien is waiting for you outside. Go out now and don't keep him waiting.”“Yes.” I say with a curt nod and take long strides towards the door, feeling very much relieved that I've finally had the chance to get away from her intoxicating and intimidating presence.I used to think the atmosphere with Alpha Lucien was te
THE ALPHA’S ACCUSED MATE Chapter 19
AURORA'S POV.When Alpha Lucien settles beside me and the door is shut, I become highly conscious of how good he smells. Something I've been too preoccupied to ponder upon as many times as I should. I breathe him in, telling myself to relax and enjoy his company, but how's that going to be possible when my heart is beating so fast and threatening to hop out of my chest?I shoot him a brief glance and his gaze is plastered at something straight ahead. I'm scared to look in the direction to see what it is, so I turn to the window on my side and feast my eyes on the buildings and cars and people and many other objects fleeting by as the car rolls along.The ride is an excruciatingly quiet one. Even though it's almost unbearable, I'm happy he hasn't said anything to me again because I'm too terrified… too weak to have any sort of conversation with him right now.I have tried to figure out where he's taking me to or what we're going to do there, but nothing comes to mind. I'm well aware of
THE ALPHA’S ACCUSED MATE Chapter 20
AURORA'S POV.“Wait for me the car while I give out some instructions to the guys taking the snapshots.” Alpha Lucien tells me once we're back in the living room where I was beyond shocked to see two guys taking photos of the entire living room, including the photos on the wall. I obediently nod my head and go outside to the car and wait like I have been instructed to. All the while doing the waiting, I'm smiling like an idiot with no purpose on this earth.I just found out that I truly meant nothing to my father. I also just found more proof that my sister and ex-boyfriend were in a full blown relationship behind my back. These are discoveries that should crack my heart into several pieces and leave me writhing and wailing in agony on the floor, but here I am, smiling.Smiling because admist all this heartbreak and chaos, I have someone by my side. Someone who's willing to bet on me. Defend and protect me. Comfort me in his own way. And that someone isn't just anyone. He's my fucking
THE ALPHA’S ACCUSED MATE Chapter 21
LUCIEN'S POV.“That was uncalled for.” I say, placing my cutleries on my plate and looking at Nathelie who seems shocked by my words.“Excuse me, what?”“I believe you heard what I just said.” My voice is tight with annoyance. It took me all my self control to not lash out at her when she spoke rudely to Aurora a while ago. The only reason I did not shut her up in Aurora's presence was because I don’t want Aurora to have any ideas that I care about her. But now that she's not here, I have to set things straight. My brows shoot up my hairline in amazement when the girl seated by my side starts chuckling.I stay quiet and watch her chuckle until she's done, then she shoots me a very serious look.“You've got to be kidding me.”“I am not.”“Alpha Lucien.” She calls in a calm, but serious voice. “Isn't that Aurora, the same girl who's name is buzzing all over the pack for killing your brother, Mael and her sister on her wedding day?”“She's the one.”“What the hell is she doing here?” She
THE ALPHA’S ACCUSED MATE Chapter 22
AURORA'S POV.I'm frozen in ten thousand layers of astonishment as I stare blankly at the door Elisa and her crew just exited with the terror of her words raking its claws down my spine. I am teetering at the edge of insanity.I force myself to take deep breaths so I don't drown in my own anxiety.My mate chose some other girl to be his mate?Is that even acceptable?My questions are answered by the sound of the room door creaking open. I tense as an unexpected joint of electricity rockets up my arm when Alpha Lucien comes into view. My heart trips and I freeze for half a beat before meeting his serious gaze. I steel my spine and keep my face stoic as I watch him close the door and come to meet me at the bed. I have completely pushed the fact that the maids assaulted me at the back of my head. The news of him choosing some other girl to be his mate is more painful than all the smacks and brutal scrubs his maids have given me, combined.We are both very young. What was the rush?I wou

Aurora’s POVThe rustic warmth of the cottage filled me as soon as I entered, but it didn't do much to calm the churning uneasiness in my gut. Even though there was a strong smell of wood smoke and herbs in the air, I still felt out of place. I glanced about the room, admiring the shabby furniture and the shelves brimming with odd jars and bottles.With her eyes crinkling at the corners, the old woman near the door was observing me with a gentle grin. I felt a knot tighten in my chest despite her friendly manner. I stepped back a little, now wondering what I had gotten myself into.With a voice like a comforting salve, she whispered softly. "You don't need to be afraid, dear." "You can trust me."I crossed my arms defensively and scoffed. "Trust? That's hilarious. I always get let down by the ones I trust."The woman's face changed a little, as though she realized how serious what I had spoken was. "My dear, life isn't always black or white. Finding the truth sometimes requires navi
THE ALPHA’S ACCUSED MATE Chapter 59
Lucien’s POVAurora's eyes strayed to the papers scattered on the table as she completed her breakfast. The warmth of the morning sun fighting against the shadows of her past made it clear to me that she was still absorbing the changes taking place around her. Her protective manner, which she wore like armor, revealed her innocence. It evoked a deep-seated desire in me to shield her and lead her away from the shadows.As I looked at her and brushed a few hairs out of her face, I could feel the gentle hum of worry rising in my chest. "Is it truly required? However, I feel fine. She made an uncomfortable change. "Your body isn't strong enough to heal itself." It will take some time, but you will feel it. Or do you enjoy suffering? My voice was firm yet full of suspense as I inquired."No." She murmurs."Good."She nodded, but there was a trace of nervousness in her eyes. The metallic clinking of the keys on a hook by the door filled the silence as I reached for them.I tried to ligh
THE ALPHA’S ACCUSED MATE Chapter 58
Aurora’s POVThe sun was peeking through my window and I could feel the warmth on my skin which made me twirl in my sleep. Even though I didn't want to admit it. It felt good to be... I would have said home but I knew it was only a matter of time before I'll leave. There was no reason to get too attached to the place But a part of me still hoped.I twirled my head in my pillow again and the softness wrapped around me unlike the cold dam prison cell. I stretched, feeling an ache in my limbs, but a good one, like my body was finally remembering comfort. It was a bit disorienting, to say the least, lying here, bathed in the gentle morning sunlight streaming through the window.There was no cold draft, no musty smell or scratchy mattress. Just clean sheets and the soft morning air. How quickly I'd forgotten what a bed truly felt like. A quiet sigh slipped from my lips as I relished in the warmth and the peace that, for one moment, felt real.But something or should I say someone caught
THE ALPHA’S ACCUSED MATE Chapter 57
Lucien’s POVI stared at the document lying on my desk. It was an ugly thing, and it stood for responsibilities that would follow me to the ends of the earth. These were one of the responsibilities I had to carry along with me as the alpha of my pack. Some would say it was a wonderful thing. But I knew better. Caged with so many responsibilities that I wouldn't be able to think straight. Your ability to make personal decisions would disappear because no matter what you have to put the pack first before everything else. Even before your own feelings and emotions. Because of the recent drama my work load kept piling up, I clicked my tongue leaning forward. Each page I signed out of habit, almost unconsciously as if on autopilot, while my head was immersed in something entirely different, something more profound than weariness. After what felt like days, I let go of the pen and rubbed the space between my brows in an attempt to calm my thoughts – if only for a moment.And then I tur
THE ALPHA’S ACCUSED MATE Chapter 56
Lucien’s POVAs I left her room, each step down the corridor kept getting heavier than the last. Her words ringing in my ears, cutting through my chest sharper than any blade. “You don't believe in me.” I shook my head in despair. Something had changed and I could feel it. If it was in the past I wasn't going to be bothered but now I am really worried. I was worried about how she was. The things she'd say. It was all getting too much but I was her mate. It was what was expected of me. As her mate, it was my obligation to protect her. It was my duty to stand by her. But now I was not exactly sure if I was sorely acting because of duty. My head was beginning to hurt from the too many thoughts that were probing at the back of my head. I blinked rapidly. Then slowly anger burned beneath my skin, twisting with a frustration I could not even name. She told me she didn’t trust me, and no matter how much I wanted to shrug it off I couldn't. I wanted her to look at me. To trust me but
THE ALPHA’S ACCUSED MATE Chapter 55
Aurora's pov“You wanted to hurt her?” His voice was laced with an edge of misbelief. His gaze was filled with an expression I couldn't quite understand. It was filled with an intensity that pinned me in place. “Aurora, do you even understand what you are saying?”*I clenched my fists as I took a shaky breath. “I know exactly what I am saying. I was so mad and I wanted her to feel it. I wanted her to understand…So had to.”“To understand what?” he cut me off and his eyes flashed with disappointment. I didn't mind, even my own father thought I was a disappointment. “That you wanted to kill someone?”A bitter laugh ripped from my lips, surprising even myself. He shook his head with tight jaws, as he unconsciously pressed the ointment harder than necessary on my wrist causing me to bite down on my lip. The pain began to flare up in my chest. “It hurts,” I muttered through gritted teeth.“I'm Sorry,” he murmured as his grip relaxed. I could feel the frustration radiating off him.
THE ALPHA’S ACCUSED MATE Chapter 54
Aurora's POVI curled up on the bed, moving away from him. Trust had always landed me in huge trouble, and I wasn’t going to be fooled like that again.Neither of us said anything as Lucien tucked his hands into his pockets."I’ll get the ice and ointment for your injuries," he muttered in a low tone."I’ll heal. I’m a werewolf," I hissed, looking away from him and hugging myself tighter.I expected him to leave, but he didn’t. Instead, he let out a frustrated sigh."Your healing might not kick in because your body is weak. We need to treat the wounds so they don’t get infected."I wanted to protest, but I just closed my mouth and buried my face between my knees.His footsteps faded with light thuds until I couldn’t hear them anymore.I lifted my head from my knees and felt relieved. At least he is gone now.His last question rang in my head, causing my shoulders to slump.Then my face twisted into a sinister frown.How could he ask me to trust him after what he did? After he chained
THE ALPHA’S ACCUSED MATE Chapter 53
Lucien's POVAurora was really driving me insane with her behavior. I had just saved her life, but she didn't seem to care.I knew it wasn’t entirely her fault because of the lie Arnaud told her.She believed I was the one who handed her over in the first place. A lie that would have been cleared up if she’d just listened to me—but she didn’t. Today was clearly not a good day. It had been one hell of a day.The moment I parked in the garage, she unlocked the door and quickly slid out.She was treating me like the plague, avoiding me at all costs, and it was infuriating.I wasn’t used to this new development.A sigh escaped my lips as my hands lingered on the wheel. My gaze shifted over to where she was, and my heart grew heavier when I saw her struggling to walk properly.It broke my heart as I wondered what kind of torment those elders had put her through.I heard her wince in pain, and I quickly unbuckled my seatbelt, pushing the door wide open.She was pushing me to my limits.“A
THE ALPHA’S ACCUSED MATE Chapter 52
Aurora's POV:After the chaotic scene at the council, I was genuinely surprised that they let me live. Especially after Nathalie's father was so adamant about having my head today. But thanks to Lucien, I was spared because no one could challenge the authority of an Alpha.My back rested carefully against the seat as I stole a glance at the man by my side. His expression no longer held the warmth, care, or concern it had earlier.His hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, and he kept his eyes locked on the road. The air was filled with an awkward silence as neither of us attempted to start a conversation to break it.What could I possibly say?"Thanks for saving me after practically delivering me to the elders to meet my end"? There was no way I could say that to him.Even though he saved me, I was still mad at him.I wanted to feel grateful, but a part of me didn’t want to acknowledge what he did, because Lucien was unpredictable. He could be so many things all at once.Sometimes,
