THE ALPHA’S ACCUSED MATE Chapter 65
~ Lucien’s POV ~“On the day of the murder, Aurora was wearing a white dress. I am sure that would have been hard to miss even at night.Why don't you tell me who the hell put you up to this, or else I won't hesitate to plunge my claws into your chest?” I gritted my teeth, my gaze fixed on him.“I am saying nothing but the truth, I am sure of what I saw. I… wasn't sure about what she wore. It has been long enough to remember the details”, Henry stammered, his eyes avoiding mine as he spoke.“Long to remember?" I scoffed.“Why didn't you report it", I questioned once again.“As I have told you before, I saw something I shouldn't have and I was scared she would come after me if I poke my nose in what doesn't concern me after all”, He explained quickly and I almost believed him for what he said but something is not adding up.I motioned to Arnaud who nodded and held the half-torn paper up. Henry's eyes widened in shock, his jaws dropping on seeing the paper.“What did you have to say abo

~Aurora’s POV~A splash of ice-cold water hit my face, splashing me out of unconsciousness. I gasped, jerking my head back as the stench of something vile and rotting filled my nostrils. My stomach churned and I groaned in pain.“About time you woke up?”, A gruff voice announced, snapping me out of consciousness, I fluttered the water dripping from my eyelashes. A bald-headed man loomed over me, his bulky frame blocking out the dim flickering light illuminating the room.“Where am I? How did I get here?”, I questioned, struggling against the ropes biting into my wrists and ankles, realizing I was tied to a hard wooden chair. My pulse pounded in my ears as my mind raced.I scanned the room wondering how I had got here.“You think you can break free of the grasp", The bald headed man said, a sinister smile tugging the corner of his lips“What the hell happened?” I shouted, my shrill voice echoing the room with my scream, the sound bouncing off the cold, concrete walls. My wrists twisted

I hurriedly make my way to the riverbank. My mind reeling with confusion as I thought of so many different possibilities of Henry turning up dead at the riverbank. It makes no sense as to how he would suddenly be dead. The dry leaves crunch underneath the pressure of my foot as I run through the pathway, Gage following me closely.“Stand back! Stand back!” One of the guards yells at the small crowd of people that have formed a circle around the site of the incident. My footsteps slow down as I walk carefully towards the riverbank. My eyes widened on seeing Henry's pale body, his skin looking white as paper and his lips were dry, blue, and cracked. Just how long had he spent in the water before he was found? He'd been missing for three days straight, has he been under the water for that long?I crouched beside his body, looking for evidence of foul play that could suggest that Henry’s death was a pre-planned murder. Upon further inspection, I see the marks. The red marks on his neck we

As I made my way down the familiar path toward the cabin, the air carried a distinct chill, though the evening was calm. My thoughts were tangled in the mess of the day—Henry’s death, the investigation, the poison. Everything pointed toward someone with both cruelty and cunning. Someone dangerous.Before I could enter the clearing, the faint cabin lights shone through the trees, and suddenly, an elderly voice stopped me in my tracks.“Alpha!”I turned to see the old woman who often visited the village market. Bent forward, she gripped a basket that appeared too cumbersome for her delicate body. She had her gray hair pulled back and a worried look on her face."What is wrong?" I inquired, moving nearer.She looked around as if worried about someone eavesdropping. "Today, I returned home from the market late," she shared, her voice shaking. “I heard about Henry’s death there. Everyone was talking about it... I got distracted.” She paused, guilt flickering across her features. “When I f

The journey to the cabin seemed to drag on, the night air chilly and dense on my skin. My mind was scattered, thinking about Henry, his loved ones, and the parts of the puzzle that didn't quite align. Despite my persistent questions, I couldn't dismiss another lingering thought.The dawn.I had been away for an extended period. She was likely anticipating my return, curious about my delay. I pictured her walking back and forth in the tiny room, possibly giving me a piercing glare as soon as I entered. The idea nearly caused me to smile—nearly.However, something felt off.As I neared the cabin, the sensation intensified, resembling a faint buzzing in the depths of my thoughts. After finally glimpsing the cabin among the trees, I noticed the elderly woman standing outside. Her small figure was hunched under the moonlight as she tightly gripped her shawl.I felt a cold shiver run down my back.“Where’s Aurora?” I asked, my voice cutting through the quiet.The woman turned to me, startle

I moved closer at a slow pace, bending down a couple of feet from the target. "Hello," I spoke softly. "Is everything alright with you?"Her eyes filled with fear and tears streamed down her face as she gazed up at me. She was no older than seven or eight.She shook her head while sniffing. "I... I witnessed something," she whispered with a small, trembling voice."What was it that you observed?" I inquired while maintaining a calm tone.She grabbed her dress with her hands and looked back towards the denser section of the woods. "It was... large," she murmured. "And dimly lit." "I felt like it was observing me."I felt my stomach tense up, but I made an effort to remain calm. "Can you tell me the location of your parents?" Is it possible for me to escort you to them?After pausing, she eventually gave a slow nod. "Our home is situated on the outskirts of the village."I extended my hand. "Let's go, I'll give you a ride back."Her tiny fingers encircled mine, her grasp unsteady yet fu

Aurora’s POVAs I ran, my lungs felt like they were on fire, the cold wind piercing my face and making it hard to breathe. Fear drove me to take each desperate step deeper into the woods, my heart pounding in my chest. In the silence of the forest, the loud sound of snapping twigs and crunching leaves under my bare feet seemed overwhelming.Nathalie's mocking laughter echoed in my ears even though I knew she was no longer with me. However, I couldn't shake the suffocating and relentless sensation of being chased. The forest sprawled endlessly surrounding me, each tree seeming like a foreboding shadow.Slowing down, I leaned on a tree, trying to catch my breath. I grasped the coarse bark tightly as my hands shook. I was enveloped by darkness, with only the dim moonlight filtering through the thick canopy above to barely illuminate my path."What is my current location?" I murmured, my voice trembling and almost inaudible.I spun in a gradual circle, attempting to find my bearings, but

At least three of them could be seen moving swiftly through the undergrowth, with one of them gripping me in its mouth.Allow me to leave! Yelling loudly, I flailed my legs, yet my cries reverberated fruitlessly in the expansive blackness.The wolf holding me more tightly, its teeth sinking into my cloak and scratching my skin. I suppressed a scream of agony, my thoughts filled with fear.They continued without pausing, without delay. As they brought me deeper into the forest, the trees around me started to blend, taking me farther from any chance of being saved.Lucien, the man in question…His name lingered on my lips like a prayer, even though I was aware of his distance. I remembered his facial features, his powerful hands, and his commitment to keep me safe. The idea of not encountering him anymore almost shattered me, but I refused to let hopelessness triumph.I had no choice but to engage in a physical altercation.I twisted suddenly, successfully kicking the wolf gripping me,

THE ALPHA’S ACCUSED MATE Chapter 105
Lucien entered the room quietly, the soft sound of Aurora’s muffled sobs piercing his heart. She sat curled up in the corner of the bed, her hands clutching a pillow tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks. The sight of her like this made his chest tighten. He approached slowly, kneeling down beside her.“Aurora,” he said softly, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “Why are you still crying?”She looked up at him, her red-rimmed eyes filled with guilt. “I just... I feel awful,” she admitted, her voice trembling. “I banished my sister, Lucien. My own flesh and blood. I didn’t want to do it, but I had no choice. I feel like I failed her.”Lucien sat down beside her, pulling her gently into his arms. “You didn’t fail anyone,” he said firmly, his tone soothing but resolute. “What you did wasn’t easy, but it was necessary. Sometimes, the right choice feels like the hardest one to make.”Aurora leaned into his chest, letting his warmth and strength comfort her. “I just wish things wer

Aurora walked out of the dungeon, the cold, damp air clinging to her like a second skin. Her steps were heavy, her emotions even heavier. As she stepped into the hallway, she was startled to see Lucien waiting for her. The moment their eyes met, his expression softened.“You didn’t need to come here,” Aurora said, her voice trembling as she quickly wiped at her damp cheeks. “I could handle it on my own.”Lucien straightened, his amber eyes filled with a quiet intensity. “I know,” he replied, his voice low and steady. “You’re the strongest person I know, Aurora. But even the strongest people need support at times.”The words pierced through the emotional wall she had tried to build around herself. Without a second thought, she closed the distance between them and wrapped her arms around him, holding him tightly. His arms enveloped her, firm and reassuring.“I don’t know what to do,” Aurora whispered, her voice muffled against his chest.Lucien rested his chin on her head, his voice a
THE ALPHA’S ACCUSED MATE Chapter 103
Author’s POVThe cold air of the dungeon wrapped around Aurora as she descended the stone steps, her heels clicking against the hard surface. A guard followed close behind her, silent but watchful. When they reached her father’s cell, she turned to him and waved her hand dismissively.“You can leave now. I’ll handle this,” she said.The guard hesitated, his eyes scanning her for a moment. “Are you sure, Luna?”“I said I’ll handle it,” she replied firmly, not sparing him another glance.With a curt nod, the guard retreated up the stairs, his footsteps echoing faintly until the heavy door at the top creaked shut.She turned back to face the man sitting on the cold stone floor behind the iron bars. Mr. Luke, her foster father, looked up as she approached. His once-commanding demeanor was now replaced with weariness. He managed a faint smile.“You look well,” he said, his voice hoarse.Aurora remained silent, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. She stood there, unmoving, her expressi

Aurora’s POVI pushed open the heavy door to Lucien’s office, stepping inside with a teasing smile. He was seated at his desk, scribbling something onto a parchment. The sight of him so focused, his brow furrowed slightly, sent a warm feeling through me. I cleared my throat dramatically.“I heard I’ve been summoned by the almighty Alpha,” I said with a playful tone.Lucien looked up, a grin spreading across his face. “Indeed, Luna. You’ve been called for a matter of utmost importance.” He chuckled. “Please do sit.”I rolled my eyes and leaned against the doorframe. “Oh? And what could be so important that you needed to summon me?”I was genuinely curious to know why he sent for me at the house, he could have waited till he returned home tonight, or was he missing me a lot?Silly me! I have been emotional a lot these days and I have no idea why.He leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. “The dungeon guard informed me that your father—Luke—has requested to see you. Apparently, he

Aurora pushed open the door to the packhouse and stepped inside. The scent of freshly cooked food wafted through the air, but it did little to calm her nerves. She didn’t make it more than a few steps before Lucien appeared from the hallway, his expression dark.“Where have you been?” Lucian demanded, his voice low but sharp. “I’ve been searching for you everywhere.” he sounded pissed and that made her wonder if something happened.Aurora stopped in her tracks, knowing she had to tread carefully. “I was following a lead on the recent threats we have received,” she admitted. “Something I thought might help us.”Lucien crossed the space between them quickly, his towering presence both comforting and intimidating. “A lead? And you didn’t think to tell me? Do you know how dangerous it is out there right now?”“I can handle myself, Lucien,” she said firmly, meeting his gaze. “I’m not some helpless damsel. I’m a Lycan.”He huffed, running a hand through his dark hair. “You’re also my mate,

The weight of leadership was beginning to settle heavily on both Lucien and Aurora. Their days were filled with council meetings, decisions about the kingdom's future, and ensuring the pack's stability. Yet, an undercurrent of tension had started to ripple through the land.Lucien stood on the balcony of the castle, his sharp gaze fixed on the distant horizon. The murmurs of unrest in a neighboring pack had reached him earlier that morning, carried by a trusted scout.“Rogue wolves,” he muttered under his breath. The thought of enemies circling when his kingdom was still finding its footing made his jaw tighten. His wolf, Kol, stirred within him, growling softly in agreement.“You look like you’re preparing for battle,” Aurora’s voice came from behind him, soft but laced with determination.He turned to face her. She looked regal yet approachable in her simple gown, her Lycan features making her seem otherworldly under the golden light. “I might be,” he admitted. “There’s unrest brewi

The air buzzed with anticipation as the pack gathered in the grand courtyard of the palace. Wolves from allied packs had also traveled far and wide to witness this historic moment—the crowning of Alpha Lucien and his Luna, Aurora.Lucien stood tall at the center of the platform, dressed in ceremonial black and gold robes that accentuated his commanding presence. His piercing eyes scanned the crowd, landing briefly on Aurora, who was approaching the platform with a grace that made his heart swell. She wore a flowing gown of deep emerald green, her head held high as the elders escorted her to his side.Elder Doran raised his staff, signaling for silence. The murmur of the crowd ceased instantly, and all eyes turned toward the Alpha and his mate."Today," Elder Doran began, his voice strong and reverberating through the air, "we witness the dawn of a new era. The leadership of this pack passes to a new Alpha King, a leader who has proven his strength, wisdom, and unwavering dedication to
THE ALPHA’S ACCUSED MATE Chapter 98
The great hall of the council chamber buzzed with tension as the elders assembled. The air was heavy with the weight of their decision, one that would shape the future of the pack. The King’s failing health had left them no choice but to convene, and the murmur of voices echoed off the stone walls as they deliberated.Elder Doran, the oldest and most respected among them, struck his staff against the ground to call for order. “Brothers and sisters, we gather today at a critical juncture. The King’s health has declined beyond recovery, and our pack cannot endure this uncertainty any longer.”The room fell silent. Each elder exchanged solemn glances, understanding the gravity of the moment.“We must act,” Elder Nalia said firmly. “The Alpha King has served us well, but his time has passed. The pack requires stability, strength, and leadership.”Elder Doran nodded. “It is clear that Lucien, as the rightful heir, must ascend to the throne. His leadership has been tested, and he has proven
THE ALPHA’S ACCUSED MATE Chapter 97
Author’s POVThe royal chambers were cloaked in an uneasy silence, broken only by the occasional rustle of fabric as maids moved quietly about their tasks. The once-mighty Alpha King lay on his grand, ornately carved bed, his once-proud features now gaunt and pale. The trial and the truth it had unearthed had taken a toll far beyond what anyone had anticipated. The air in the room was heavy with the mingling scents of herbal remedies and despair.The royal physicians gathered near the door, speaking in hushed tones. Their faces bore the same somber expression—a silent acknowledgment of the inevitable. One of them, an elderly man with graying hair and deep-set eyes, stepped forward to address the council members waiting outside the chamber.“The King’s condition is grave,” he began, his voice steady but laced with sadness. “His heart and spirit have been deeply wounded. The mental and emotional strain has weakened him beyond recovery. I’m afraid… there is little we can do.”The words
