The Alpha King's Mistress Chapter 27: The Madman
As I calmed my racing heart, I took a moment to survey the room I had hastily entered. The dim lighting from a solitary lamp cast eerie shadows, highlighting the other side of the room. My eyes widened in shock as I noticed a small cell tucked away in the corner, its iron bars serving as a haunting reminder of captivity. But what truly made my blood ran cold was the figure imprisoned within. There, in that cramped and gloomy space, sat Scyther, arms chained upward on his side. My heart skipped a beat as I took in his appearance. He was an old man, thin and haggard, with sunken eyes. His skin was pale and wrinkled as if time itself had etched its cruel marks upon him. His arms have been cut all over and are bleeding. Scyther's presence alone was enough to send shivers down my spine. He was a man capable of unspeakable acts, a predator who preyed on both rogues and werewolves alike. No one knows his real name or even fully saw his face that was able to live. He has a reputation as

With Scyther's instructions echoing in my mind, I swiftly navigated the labyrinthine corridors of the Moonstone Pack. Each step was deliberate, my senses heightened as I tried to recall the details he had mentioned. I turned left at the first intersection, my footsteps quick but silent. The dimly lit passageway stretched out before me, casting eerie shadows along the walls. As I ventured deeper into the labyrinth of corridors, a sense of urgency fueled my every step. "Left, right, left... no, was it right, left, right?" I muttered to myself, my voice barely audible in the deafening silence. Frustration tugged at the corners of my mind. But then, as if the universe conspired in my favor, I stumbled upon a familiar junction. It was a narrow opening tucked behind a crumbling stone wall. A rush of relief surged through me, brightening the determination in my eyes. "This is it," I whispered triumphantly. "I remember now." With a surge of adrenaline, I squeezed through the tight spa

My anger simmered, mingling with a sense of disappointment. I had trusted Simon to carry out his duty, to keep watch over Florence and ensure her confinement. And yet, he had failed me. "You don't know who that woman is. The Alpha will kill us all" I snarled. Simon's face turned pale. The fear in his eyes was palpable, a stark reminder of the consequences of failure. "I... I understand, Beta Clifford. I will accept whatever punishment you deem fit," Simon whispered, his voice barely audible. “Oh, it is not me who will set the punishment. It was the Alpha” I swiftly rose from my seat and left my office, the urgency of the situation pulsing through my veins. Through the mindlink, I gave out an order. ‘Gather the search party! I want every available pack member on high alert. We need to find a woman that escaped not too long ago and bring her back, no matter the cost!’ I heard my pack members spring into action. I descended the stairs, my footsteps echoing with authority, until I r

Florence My heart skipped a beat as I froze in my tracks. The echoes of paws and footsteps reverberated through the air, growing louder with each passing second. Panic surged within me. “What the hell was that?” I swiftly scanned my surroundings, searching for a possible hiding spot or an escape route. With bated breath, I raced deeper into the forest, my eyes shifting between the path ahead and the looming darkness behind me. The moonlight filtered through the canopy above, casting ethereal beams of light that guided my way. Every muscle in my body coiled with tension. I moved with a fluidity born of instinct and survival. Using my enhanced vision, I navigated through the maze of trees, avoiding branches with an uncanny grace. With each passing moment, the sounds of paws faded into the distance. I took a moment to catch my breath. All of a sudden, the once-quiet forest came alive with the rhythmic thud of heavy footfalls, drawing nearer and faster. Echoing through the trees, th

Despite the exhaustion that seeped into my bones and the warm trickle of blood staining my clothes, I pressed on. I could feel my energy waning, my body yearning for rest, but the urgency of my escape pushed me forward.Every breath was a battle, my lungs burning with exertion. The pain in my leg and arm radiated with each stride. My surroundings became a blur as I sprinted through the dense forest. The rhythmic pounding of my heartbeat echoed in my ears, driving me to new heights of endurance.Branches whipped against my skin, leaving stinging trails in their wake, but I ignored them. My vision narrowed, and my focus honed on the singular goal of escape. Sweat mixed with blood on my brow, my body trembling with the strain of exertion.Heart pounding in my chest, I cast a qu

With a final, lingering glance at Clifford, I turned my back to him and faced the vast expanse before me."Stop right there, Florence!" Clifford's voice echoed behind me, a warning laced with desperation followed by a sound of rhythm of footsteps, running towards me.Turning my head just enough to catch a glimpse of him, I winked at him with a smile on my face, "Sorry, but I don't take orders from anyone."And then, with a deep breath, I stepped off the edge, plunging into the unknown.As I soared through the air, defying gravity for a fleeting moment, my gaze locked with Clifford's piercing eyes. In that split second, I saw a flicker of surprise and something else I couldn't quite decipher. But be

When I noticed the sky was getting brighter, I groaned in irritation because it meant it was already dawn. I felt a sense of urgency and a tinge of frustration as time appeared to slip through my fingers. How could the hours have passed so quickly? With a slow exhale, I willed myself to shift back into my human form, the familiar sensation of bones shifting and muscles realigning washing over me. As the fur faded, I stood on two legs once more, feeling the weight of my humanity settle upon me. Though I was no longer in my wolf form, I couldn't shake off the remnants of weariness that clung to my limbs. The physical toll of my escape had taken its toll, leaving me feeling weak and drained. With a determined shake of my head, I pushed aside my frustrations and focused on the task at hand. I hurriedly dressed myself, slipping into my worn-out clothes with practiced ease. My movements were sluggish. Each garment clung to my tired body. “I thought we would heal for a few hours” I gru

The dining room felt suffocatingly quiet as I sat across from Nicholas, our silence echoing louder than words. The guard's escort had led me here. Two days have passed since my failed escape. And I was locked the whole time in a room within this foreboding estate.Suddenly, he broke the silence as he put the glass of wine on the table, looking at me, “I hope you made a lot of reflection in two days of being locked in your room”I gazed at Nicholas, frustration boiling beneath my skin like molten lava. "You must understand," he continued, "Attempting another escape will only lead to more consequences."I clenched my fists, "Consequences? What more could you possibly do to me?" My voice dripped with disdain.Nicholas's jaw tensed, "Circumstances demand a certain course of action."I glared daggers at Nicholas, my frustration boiling over. "Why are you doing this to me? We should have rejected each other from the start!"He stayed silent, which only made me angrier. "Say something!" I y

The Alpha King's Mistress Chapter 140: Epilogue Part 4
Nicholas’s POV The air crackled with energy that buzzed right through me. It wasn't my own, though. Mine simmered low, a slow burn fueled by nervous excitement and a simmering pride. No, the nervous energy radiating like heat waves originated from the room itself, a collective held their breath as the music swelled and the double doors at the far end of the aisle creaked open. There she was. Lily. No, Florence. Not quite. Today, she was a vision in white, a goddess emerging from the sunlight streaming through the stained-glass windows. The years hadn't touched her, not a single cruel line etched onto that face that had haunted my dreams for so long. She is still that beautiful being in my eyes with her dark blonde hair and hazel eyes that were sparkling brightly at the moment. She was wearing a white gown and a white veil on her head while her hand was clasped on a bouquet made of Lily of the Valleys. I noticed a nervous tremor in the hand that gripped Percival's arm as his, a
The Alpha King's Mistress Chapter 139: Epilogue Part 3
The salty breeze ruffled the pages of my book as I leaned back in the wicker chair, the sun already hidden, painting the sky with a darkness filled with stars. A contented sigh escaped my lips. It’s already been six months since Nicholas and I started over again which means dating for real like a normal couple. Both of us pushed our work stuff and it was one of the best decisions I made. Six months of travel, dates, adventures, and laughter-filled days. We'd tried everything from visiting ancient ruins in Greece to white-water rafting in New Zealand. Right now, we are in one of Nicholas's owned islands, perched beside me on the balcony of his secluded beach house, absorbed in his own book, a glass of amber whiskey swirling in his hand. I set my book down with a soft thud, the sound breaking the comfortable silence. "So, Nicholas," I began, his blue eyes locking onto mine as he glanced up. I directly asked the question that popped into my head, "Why are we still mates?" Surpris

Soon after, the night had fallen, painting the sky a canvas of inky blue dotted with a million shimmering stars. Dressed in a stylish, midnight-hued dress that clung to my curves in all the right places, I emerged from the bathroom. A gasp escaped Charlotte's lips, and even Sara, usually so composed, let out a surprised whistle. "Wow, Lils," Charlotte breathed, her eyes wide with admiration. "You look incredible!" Sara, her phone clutched in her hand, held it up to my face. On the screen, a video call connected me to the familiar faces of Percival, Quinn, and his husband. "Hey guys!" I greeted them, my voice filled with a genuine smile. "There she is!” Quinn exclaimed, his booming laugh filling the room. “Hey, kiddo" boomed Percival's voice, "Our own famous artist" Quinn chimed in, "You look stunning, honey! We can't wait to see you smash this exhibition!" His husband, a kind-looking man with warm brown eyes, offered a shy smile and a wave. "Good luck," he mouthed si

6 years later….. My fingers traced the worn frame of the photograph hanging on the plain white wall. A simple black-and-white capture: a lone tree silhouetted against a fiery sunset, its branches reaching out like gnarled fingers. It evoked emotions that felt like a lifetime ago, not the picture itself. "Just making sure, Lily," a soft voice broke through my reverie. "Tomorrow's the big day, you know. Your fifth exhibition and your first appearance." I chuckled, glancing to my left. A beautiful woman stood beside me. Her closely cropped hair, a riot of ebony curls, framed a face that, though small, held a radiant warmth. Her skin, a rich, warm brown, seemed to glow with an inner light. "Tenth time this week, wouldn't you say?" I asked. She grinned, a flash of white against her warm brown skin. "Maybe. But this is different. People are buzzing about you, Lily. The mysterious artist finally makes an appearance after four years." My gaze swept across the gallery, taking in
The Alpha King's Mistress Chapter 136: -The End-
Keith let out a cruel laugh. "I used all my strongest rogues to deal with the Lycans," he said, his voice dripping with satisfaction. "And your dear Nicholas... Well, let's just say he put up a good fight. The man was a monster indeed. His regenerating ability was remarkable" My gaze fell upon the jacket he wore, a small device embedded in one of the pockets like a dark eye staring back at me. "Is that the button?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. My eyes seem lifeless. Keith raised an eyebrow, a knowing smirk playing on his lips. He nodded curtly. "The button for the chips in the rogues? Yes. One press, and they all die a quick, painless death. Useful to threaten them to do something" My face was cold and unreadable as I turned to him, watching him light his cigarette. “Want some?” he offered. I reached for the cigarette he offered, lighting it. As I inhaled, a single thought echoed in my mind: everything had to end. “You know you need to cooperate with t
The Alpha King's Mistress Chapter 135: The Final Rejection
Seizing the opportunity, I turned and ran, deeper into the dense darkness of the forest to the clearing. I can see it. I had made a choice, a terrible one that left me torn between self-preservation and the agonizing cost it had come at. But as I ran, I couldn't shake the image of Nicholas, wounded, facing the wrath of the rogues because of me. The burden of that decision would be a heavy one to bear, one that I knew I would bring to my death. Suddenly, a blur of fur shot out from my peripheral vision. I snapped my head around just in time to see another rogue, its red eyes zeroing in on me. I reached for the gun. But my hand met only empty air. “Huh, of course it is gone” I scoffed in annoyance. I flung myself aside, barely avoiding the snapping jaws of the beast. But the momentum of my dodge carried me off balance, sending me tumbling to the ground. As I lay there, sprawled, the rogue loomed above, its fetid breath washing over me. An instinct older than thought, deepe
The Alpha King's Mistress Chapter 134: Only Way
A glance in the rearview mirror confirmed five wolves, their sleek fur gleaming in the daylight, chased after me, led by the imposing figure of the black wolf. He was larger and faster than the rest, impossibly so, but I couldn't stop. They were so fast that our distance was just so small. “What the f*ck?”I cursed. Suddenly, the walkie-talkie crackled inside the car came to life, a very familiar voice cutting through the sound of the engine. I know it belongs to Keith Caldwell. "Hurry! Meet me at the cliff. I've set the GPS coordinates. I know you can hear me Florence. Hurry, if you want to finally escape and save your pack. It's just right as you are their Luna” I gritted my teeth. I am not surprised he already knew that Nicholas and I were mates. Taking deep breaths to regulate my emotions, I glanced at the GPS, memorizing the route, then opened the glove compartment seeing a grenade and a tear gas grenade. Without hesitation, I grabbed the tear gas grenade. “We should

With a shriek of pain, my mother staggered back, releasing her hold. I gasped for air, collapsing onto the forest floor. As my vision cleared, I saw my mother clutching her face, a crimson stain blooming across her fingers. "How… How did you find me?" I rasped, my voice hoarse from lack of oxygen. "Olga," she spat, her voice laced with venom. "Keith and I made a deal. I’ll help him get the rogues in the borders in exchange for… getting rid of you." The revelation made my stomach churn. My mother had orchestrated my capture, colluding with the very threat she swore to protect the pack from. "I even gave her guard schedules," my mother continued, her voice dripping with vindictive satisfaction, "making sure the rogues wouldn't be stopped at the borders long enough… for you to be… eliminated. But I hate their plan. Keith wanted you alive but I wanted you gone so the attack was merely an excuse for me to kill you" My mind reeled. The woman who had birthed me, the woman who had
The Alpha King's Mistress Chapter 132: Betrayal
I was shaking in anger as I asked, “Why are you doing this?” Olga just shrugged and a sadistic gaze glowed in her black and gold eyes, “Simply because I wanted for the line of the Lycans to end. We are living too long” I hold myself back from killing her. I still need her to find the way out. No matter how I wanted to help up there, I could only be of help to them if I killed Keith and got out of their lives. After all, everything happened because of me. “Enough chit-chat. Let's move now” Olga said. The urgency tightened its grip on my heart. I followed her silently, my steps light and quick trying my hardest to ignore the loud footsteps above and screams. After countless turns and twists, the staircase ended in a narrow tunnel. Without hesitation, we crawled through the cramped passage, the damp earth brushing against my skin. I was a little frustrated since Olga moved a little slower and honestly I am more concerned with how she was short of breath. Finally, after what
