THE ALPHAS FATED MATE CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOUR - OLD RELICS
PIXIEI stared in complete disbelief at the wolf cowering on the bed in the far corner of the room. There was no way that Gloria was there, I had to be seeing things.“What is she doing here?” I whispered, not wanting to alert Gloria to my presence. She looked so different from the last time we’d spoken; her usually shiny hair was a matted, tangled mess, her cheeks hollow and eyes sunken. She looked as though she hadn’t slept in weeks, with her last meal being even longer.“When my sentries attacked the wolves and saved Amber,” Ayla explained, glancing back at Gloria with deep mistrust in her usually warm eyes. “We found her cowering in grasses. She hasn’t sustained injuries like Amber has, so we’d been trying to interrogate her to find out what she was doing there. We’d hoped to get information on Griffin’s whereabouts but she’s, well…”“Penelope?” Gloria suddenly breathed, making me jump in surprise. I looked back at the wolf, her blue eyes wide with recognition. “It is you, thank G
THE ALPHAS FATED MATE CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE - FOOD TRYST
PIXIEAsha had been called away for an update on Griffin’s whereabouts soon after they’d left Helldog’s cottage together, promising that he would see her at dinner. I made her way back to the packhouse, wondering if Ayla would be interested in taking a walk with me.It was busy, as usual, various members of the pack milling about in the kitchen and living room areas, trying to escape the blistering heat outside. I found Ayla among them, lounging on one of the recliners with her bare feet up, and another wolf braiding her long hair.“Good afternoon, Your Majesty,” I said with a mock bow, biting down my smirk. “Might I request an audience with you?”Ayla rolled her eyes with a chuckle and winked at the wolf who had just finished braiding her hair.“If you insist,” she teased, getting to her feet gracefully and linking arms with me. “Where to?”“Anywhere,” I murmured, smiling at the wolves who waved happily. “I just want to walk.”“After you.”We strolled through the forest near the pack
THE ALPHAS FATED MATE CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX - SAY ‘AH’
PIXIEThe medical rooms were quiet this late in the evening, with only Jonah there to supervise. I knocked and waited for him to open the door, smiling when he did."Luna!" he said, clearing his throat quickly. “Sorry, I mean Penelope."I grinned wider. I'd told him he didn't have to call me Luna all the time, especially since I didn't really 'feel' like a Luna just yet. But he was having some trouble with it."Hi Jonah," I said, stepping in when he invited me. "Have you eaten yet?"He shrugged. "I'll get something to eat a little later.What can I do for you?""I'm here to see Amber," I explained. "I have something to tell her.""Sure," he said, gesturing down the hall to the concealed room. "Go right ahead.""Thanks!"I walked down the now familiar hallway and stood outside Amber's door, laying a hand on the metal, palm flat."Amber?" I called, not wanting to scare Amber by bursting in unannounced. "It's me, I'm coming in, okay?"I waited a beat before dismantling the complicated lo
THE ALPHAS FATED MATE CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN - SHORT TALE
PIXIEI had no idea how much time had passed since I'd managed to feed Amber the last bit of food on the tray, but I was startled awake by Amber's vicious growls, reverberating through my chest and into my ear.I'd fallen asleep against Amber's side, my fingers curled in the mess of fur. I blinked in confusion, trying to figure out what had woken Amber when Asha's scent hit my nose."It's me," he said needlessly, standing at the door. He observed Amber and the way my body coiled defensively around my sleeping form while I slowly woke up.Sensing Amber's fear and aggression, I reached out to calm my down but was interrupted by Asha, who growled once, his Alpha dominance slipping free and forcing Amber down."It's okay, Amber," I said again, hating the way Amber whimpered in Asha's presence. "That's Asha, he won't hurt you, you can trust him."But Amber only huffed and crawled back to my bed, huddling in the corner and ignoring both I and Asha."It's late," Asha said, his eyes fixed on
THE ALPHAS FATED MATE CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHT - A WALK
PIXIEI watched Gloria warily from my spot at the door.Ayla stood beside me, the sentry exuding a cold, threatening aura that raised the hairs on my arms despite the warm weather.Gloria sat curled on the bed, her knees pulled to her chest in a fetal position. Her wild eyes darted around the room, never once landing on me or Ayla.With a cautious glance at Ayla, I cleared my throat."Hi Gloria," I said softly, with just volume for the scared wolf to hear without frightening her. “How are you?"She only whimpered, rocking back and forth and looking for all the world like she expected Griffin to burst through the door and kill her. I tried again."We need to ask you a few questions, Gloria," I said, hoping that I would get the answers I needed. "It's about Griffin."Nothing.I heard Ayla grumble impatiently beside me. I understood her frustration: Ayla had been chasing down a potential when Asha had called her back, instructing her to accompany me to Glorias’ room. I knew that Ayla tru
THE ALPHAS FATED MATE CHAPTER SEVENTY-NINE - Oh’ DWIGHT
Hours had passed since I'd kissed Pixie goodbye earlier that day. I hated being away from her, especially since she insisted on spending time with dangerous, unpredictable wolves. Both of whom, I might add, were unstable and prone to lashing out, even at those they knew.I hadn't been this worried for her safety since those three days she had spent out of my sight with Dwight.I hadn't been able to focus much on my work, and Jaden had stepped up more than once to cover for my inexplicable silence that morning in their briefing. I couldn't help it; my mind continuously strayed back to Pixie, my thoughts filled with her. I wondered if she was okay, if she'd eaten enough before locking herself away with her former pack mates, if she'd get enough rest before dinner. It was maddening, but I chalked it up to the mating bond between them, having amplified the subtle communication that had already existed between them before.I was aware of her emotions now, more attuned to how she was feelin
THE ALPHAS FATED MATE CHAPTER EIGHTY - WISH
PIXIEWith all the difficulty in the world, I somehow extricated myself from the tangle of Asha's possessive limbs and got myself cleaned up. I'd wanted to have breakfast with him but couldn't bring myself to wake him when he looked like he was finally getting some decent rest.So I went downstairs alone, nodding in greeting at the few wolves who were awake at that hour. The common areas were vacant, but I heard movement in the gym down one of the hallways as I passed to get to the kitchen."Oh, good morning, Roane," I said, spotting the young wolf sitting alone at one of the tables in the cafeteria-sized dining area. His eyes shot up and he almost choked on his cereal in his haste to jump to his feet. “G'mo-morning, Luna!" he coughed, his eyes watering."Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you," I said with a wince, patting his back once I was close enough. "He only shook his head, his long, black locks falling into his face as he did so. "Not at all, Luna. I was just leaving, sorry.""
THE ALPHAS FATED MATE CHAPTER EIGHTY-ONE - SAVE
PIXIEI frowned, sitting down beside Gloria on the grass and watching the final preparations being carried out by a handful of wolves."You have Dwight," I gently prodded, hoping that his name would help her ease up. But it didn't. Her eyes grew misty, and she sniffled."He doesn't want me anymore," she whimpered, fat tears slipping free and running down her cheeks."Don't say that," I comforted, reaching up slowly to wipe the tears away without scaring Gloria. "He loves you."But Gloria shook her head stubbornly, her eyes closing and squeezing more tears out."No," she said adamantly. "He hasn't wanted me for a long time. After you left, he lost."What do you mean?" I pressed, wanting to know as much as possible while Gloria was willing to talk."After you left," she sobbed, hiding her face in her hands. "He took on challenge after challenge for his position. He spent most nights in the infirmary and when I went to visit him, he was so distant and so cold that I could barely recogniz
