THE DANGEROUS ALPHA’S MISTRESS

ROSE POINT OF VIEWThe screams of the people filled the air as everyone ran in every direction, clearly terrified for their lives. Why today, of all days—on my wedding day? The horrifying cries of my pack members, the nauseating scent of blood, and the scattered limbs on the floor were too much to bear.I wanted to run, but adrenaline froze me in place, keeping me from fleeing as my fiancé, Marcus, gripped my hands tightly. I hid behind him, hoping his presence would offer some protection. The attackers soon invaded our pack home—large wolves baring their teeth, ready to kill, and a few men riding on horseback. "Looks like there's nowhere left for you to run, Alpha Kane," my uncle said, a wicked grin spreading across his face. By this time, the attackers had killed most of the guards and shut the Hall's door, trapping the few of us still alive. I stared at the scattered bodies of my family members on the floor—distant cousins, aunts—all of them had gathered for my wedding day, only to

I stood there while they stared at me; they couldn't tear their eyes away, and neither could I keep my gaze from them. My heart was pounding furiously in my chest, and I struggled to control it. What should I do or say? I was disoriented, to say the least. Alpha Kael’s son—or maybe sons, judging by their similarity in looks they are probably brothers—were my mates?“Where were you two?” Alpha Kael asked suddenly, redirecting their attention. The one with the darker hair gave me one last look before walking past me, his body brushing against mine slightly. My wolf nearly jumped out to pounce on him.The brown-haired one kept his eyes on me before following. I turned to look at them as they focused on Alpha Kael, who asked, “Where were you two?”“Men can’t go horse riding, Father,” the one with the darker hair responded. I saw Alpha Kael’s jaw clench with anger. His expression suggested he might explode at any moment, but the darker-haired brother seemed unfazed.Noticing the tension, t

OAKI placed a hand on my thigh as I struggled to rein in my emotions. But all I could think of was my mate, Rose, being in that damn cell all by herself. I could only hope that she wasn’t tortured so badly. I needed her to be fine and without any form of fear of clouding her senses. But that seemed like an unachievable wish at this moment.Rubbing my short brown hair, I looked at Raven, who was seated at the opposite side of me, pressing his tablet without a care in the world. How could he be so chill when everything was falling apart like this? I just didn’t understand it!His eyes suddenly connected to mine as though he knew I was looking at him, and I looked elsewhere at once. "Some people keep siding with murderers," I grumbled under my breath as I tapped the handle of my chair. "It would have been perfect if we praised Alpha Kael’s killer for sniffing his life off after how he treats women in his fucking life.""Hey!"I looked up in shock as Raven suddenly grabbed a hold of the

ROSE'Be calm.'Was that my wolf, Meghan? Did she finally try to talk to me?'Rose, say something,' she said once more.I sniffed as I pulled the maid gown away from me. It’s dull blue color was slightly blinding and annoying to me. 'You finally decided to speak with me,' I mumbled through the mind-link.She purred, and I felt strangely comforted. She was truly here to help me out. 'I know that you felt like I had left you for good,' she whispered. I sniffed in response to her words. 'But that is not true. I could never leave you just like that, Rose. You have been my best friend since I became your wolf, so why would I leave you? I was just weak, and I had to stay away from the pain for a time. Though that thing they did with us really shook me.'I nodded as I cleaned a tear. 'It was horrible, but I feel a bit like myself now. Though I don’t have any appetite to eat.''Even if you wanted to eat, I doubt they would give you something to eat here. No one likes you around here,' she po

RAVENThe wind tussled my hair lightly as I bent over my father’s casket. It hurt so much that a man who was so great and fierce was reduced to this. It didn’t matter if we didn’t get along perfectly, but he was my father, right? I couldn’t ignore that, no matter how much I wanted.'Is that why you’re hurting our mate?' Harry, my wolf whined.I scoffed as I picked up a dark rose, placing it on my father’s casket. If Harry really thought that I would listen to his nonsense because he was my wolf, then he needed a rethink. I was my father’s son, and I would do right by him, and no stupid mate was going to stop that from happening.With a grunt, I looked around the trees, hating them for not breathing life into my father. According to the tradition, he would have to stay in the garden till his burial. But it seemed like pure torture to me. A completely horrific one!"Why does this always happen?" I mumbled.Looking down on the casket, I tried to clean off the dust with my bare hands. "Yo
