The Alpha's Dying Mate CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE
ALPHA KING EDENI watched with a heavy heart as Sara walked away with Aaron. Every step she took felt like a dagger to my soul, but I remained stoic, my face betraying none of the turmoil raging inside me.I had kept up the pretense, had to make it look like I didn’t care, like I was indifferent to her pain. It was the only way to protect her, the only way to ensure that she and the unborn child would be safe from the danger looming over the pack.But the truth was, every moment of this charade was tearing me apart. I had never wanted to hurt her, never wanted to see the light in her eyes dim with sorrow and confusion.Yet, I knew that if I didn’t play my part, the threat lurking in the shadows might strike, and I couldn’t risk that.Sara was too precious to me, and our child; the thought of anything happening to them was unbearable.I had noticed the subtle clues, the strange occurrences and I have some suspects already, but it wasn’t enough to make me wary.I had to be sure before
The Alpha's Dying Mate CHAPTER FORTY-SIX
SARA [THE SHADOW’S PACK]I had followed Aaron back to The Shadows pack. I thought I could handle whatever Eden did to me. But after he collected his mother’s necklace he gave me, that was it.I knew how important his mother’s necklace is to him. For him to take it back means he no longer cares and loves me.As I left Moonstone pack with Aaron, I felt a profound sense of loss, as if a part of me had been left behind with him. I didn’t want to leave but Aaron insisted he’s not leaving me behind.I knew I couldn’t dwell on it. I couldn’t afford to let myself be consumed by the pain and sorrow that threatened to overwhelm me.As I rode beside Aaron, I made a silent vow to myself: I would not be brought down by this. I would not let the betrayal break my spirit. I had more to think about now, more to care for; especially the unborn child growing within me.“Are you okay? Sara.” Aaron asked, he could see the weight of my sadness.“I’m fine, Aaron.” I replied to him with a smile. Aaron is

ALPHA KING EDENI had spent countless hours in my office, meticulously planning and setting a trap to catch the threat that had infiltrated my pack and murdered Aries and the young girl. Leaving the young girl’s body as a grim warning at the gate.My heart was heavy with a mixture of rage and determination. The image of the girl’s lifeless body haunted me, fueling my resolve to protect the pack and my Luna, who was now safely away from the danger that loomed over us.With Sara safely hidden in Aaron’s territory, I had no reason to continue the charade with Maya, I had used to push her away.The pretense had been agonizing, each cruel word and calculated action tearing at my heart. But it had been necessary to ensure Sara and our unborn child would be out of harm’s way.Now, with the trap set and the plan in motion, it was time to end the charade. I called Maya into my office, my expression cold and detached.Maya, who had grown comfortable in her role, approached me with a smile, but

THE UNKNOWN The celebration the alpha had arranged seemed like the ideal opportunity to carry out my latest mission; a mission driven by a deep, fastening hatred for the Alpha king.This hatred stemmed from an old wound, a loss that had burned into my soul, leaving me with nothing but thirst for revenge.As the festivities unfolded, I moved silently among the pack members, blending in effortlessly with the crowd.No one noticed the darkness in my eyes or the simmering anger that boiled beneath my calm exterior.In my mind, the plan was simple; poison the food and drinks meant for the pack. It was the same poison that took Aries life, and the same poison that had nearly killed Sara.This time, however, the poison was meant to wreak even greater havoc, to bring the Alpha king to his knees by destroying the pack he so fiercely protected.I made my way to the wine and food section, my heart pounding with anticipation. I could imagine the devastation that would unfold once the poison too

ALPHA KING EDENThe dungeon was cold and damp, the air thick with the smell of mold and the faint metallic tang of blood.The flickering torchlight cast long shadows on the rough stone walls as I and Aldo descended the winding staircase.My expression was hard, my eyes sharp with purpose. Aldo, though still limping slightly from his own recent ordeal, walked beside me, the betrayal we had uncovered weighing heavily on both our minds.As we reached the bottom, my gaze fell upon the woman who had served in the palace for so many years, now reduced to a bloodied and bruised figure chained to the wall.The guards had done as I’d ordered, and Gloria was barely recognizable, her face swollen from the beatings.But despite the pain etched into her features, there was no remorse in her eyes. Instead, she looked up at me with a chilling calm, a twisted satisfaction lurking beneath the surface.I stepped closer, my presence imposing as I stood over her. Aldo remained a step behind, his own fa

SARAThe afternoon sun glinted off the calm surface of the little lake, Its warmth a comforting embrace as I enjoyed a rare moment of peace. Fay was beside me, our laughter mingling with the soft rustling of the trees that bordered the lake.The gentle breeze carried the sweet scent of blooming flowers, adding to the tranquility of the scene.My hand rested protectively over my growing bump, my heart swelling with the joy of impending motherhood. I needed this; time to relax, to breathe, and to forget the recent turmoil that had clouded my life. As I sat on the grassy bank, I felt a sense of contentment I hadn’t experienced in weeks. I leaned back, allowing myself to absorb the serenity of the moment.But just as I began to drift into the calm, a familiar voice called out to me from the path leading to the lake.I turned to see Aaron approaching, a warm smile on his face. “ Sara, I’ve got something special to show you.” he greeted, a hint of excitement in his voice.Curiosity pique

SARAAs I heard his footsteps fading away, after telling him it was over between us. I stood frozen for a moment, my hand resting against the door where he had just been.The weight of my words settled in my chest like a stone, heavy and unyielding. I had meant what I said, but I didn’t make it any easier to bear.I moved slowly away from the door, my steps unsteady as I crossed the room and sank onto the edge of the bed.The silence around me was deafening, a stark contrast to the storm of emotions raging inside me. I buried my face in my hands, my heart aching with a pain so deep it felt like it might never heal.How did it come to this? I wondered, my thoughts racing. I had always believed that Eden saw me as his equal, that he trusted me as much as I trusted him. But his actions had shattered that belief.He had kept me in the dark, made decisions that affected both of us without so much as a word. It was as if he didn’t trust me… didn’t see me strong enough to stand by his side

SARAWalking through the long corridor, after a day well spent with Fay. She had been a friend and a sister, she cared for me and helped me in literally everything. I am grateful for her kindness.As I approached the door, I noticed a basket of peonies; my favorite flower, delicately arranged and waiting for me.A soft smile tugged at my lips as I bent down to pick it up, wondering who could have left such a thoughtful gift.Once inside, I closed the door behind me and brought the basket to the table. The soft, sweet scent of the peonies filled the room as I leaned in to inhale their fragrance, the petals brushing against my cheek.The simple beauty of the flowers made me smile, a rare moment of peace and joy easing into my heart.But then, something caught my eye. Nestled among the blooms was a folded letter. My curiosity piqued, I carefully retrieved it and began to unfold the paper, my heart beating a little faster with each movement.My dearest Sara,As I sit down to write this,

SARAEvery moment stretched like an eternity. The palace felt like a tomb, silent and still, as if holding its breath along with me.Days passed, and still, the Alpha remained in his deep sleep, unmoving. The pack sensed the unease, whispers of the Alpha’s condition spreading like wildfire, filling the air with a sense of impending doom.My heart ached with every passing hour, the emptiness of his absence growing like a chasm in my soul.I spent my days at his side, watching over him, praying silently for a miracle. While Aldo handles the affairs of the pack.Each night, I listened to Fisher’s chants, his voice a distant echo of hope. But the more time passed, the more my hope began to waver, replaced by a cold, creeping fear that I would never see my mate’s eyes again.The palace staff moved quietly, their faces drawn and pale, as if reflecting my anguish. Aldo, too, hovered nearby, his expression dark with worry, ready to support me, even as he grappled with his own grief over Eden’s

ALPHA KING EDENThe air in the room was thick with tension, the flickering light from the candles casting shadows across the walls. I stood in the center, my gaze steady as I watched Fisher prepare the ritual.I had sent Aldo a message to Fisher for this ritual, as it was the only way to save my daughter and the pack from the prophecy. Aldo protested but I told him I had made up my mind.The chronos amulet that had been in Fisher’s possession after using it to remove Sara’s curse was my only option.The chronos amulet, an ancient relic known for its power to alter fate, lay on a small pedestal before us. Its gemstone pulsed faintly, as if alive, resonating with the power it held.Fisher’s eyes clouded by age yet sharp with wisdom, turned to me. “Are you certain about this, Alpha? The consequences could be grave.“The prophecy is not something to be taken lightly. This could cost you your life.” he asked, his voice gravelly, echoing with years of knowledge and forewarning.My jaw tig

SARAI stood at the pack ground watching the Alpha address the pack, I felt a renewed sense of hope. He stood tall and confident, his voice commanding the attention of every wolf gathered around him.I recalled how I sat at the chamber, lost in thought after storming out of the throne room. Eden had come to me later in the night, his expression a mixture of determination and apology.He hadn’t let my anger push him away. Instead, he’d held me close, his hands gentle as he brushed away my tears.We talked for hours, sharing fears and hopes, finding common ground in our love for our children.Eden had promised me, he would find a way to ensure our daughter’s safety without resorting to drastic measures.He had asked me to trust him, and I trust him. His resolve had reassured me, and the walls between us crumbled.We kissed then, with a tenderness that spoke of forgiveness and understanding. The intensity of our emotions had quickly ignited into passion, a need to reconnect and affirm

ALPHA KING EDENSitting in the throne room as Fisher stood with his eyes on me. He had arrived in the early hours of the morning.His elderly figure draped in a layer of ceremonial robes, stood in the throne room. His eyes, clouded with the wisdom of countless years.He spoke softly, yet his words carried the weight of ages, echoing through the room like a quiet, unbreakable command.“Alpha, your daughter’s powers are unlike any we have seen in generations. They align with the prophecy of the old, a prophecy that foretells the rise of a child born to end the era of wolves.“Her abilities are growing, and without proper guidance, they will become uncontrollable. He said, his voice as steady as stone.I tensed, my jaw clenching as I listened. I had feared these words, yet hearing them aloud made my blood run cold. I exchanged a glance with Sara, whose eyes were filled with worry and desperation.Fisher continued. “There is a way to protect the pack, but it is a hard path to walk. Your d

SARAEden and I lay nestled together in our bedroom, the warmth of our embrace a comfort after a long day for both of us on our various pack duties.The soft glow of the candlelight cast a soothing light across the room, and the rhythmic sound of our breathing filled the space with a sense of peace.Eden ran his fingers through my hair, pressing soft kisses against my forehead. Our hearts beat in sync, a silent reminder of our bond.Just then, a sharp knock sounded at the door. Eden sighed, reluctance weighing on him as he pulled away from my embrace.He walked over to the door, his posture stiffening as he opened the door and found Aldo standing there, his face pale and etched with worry.“Alpha, It’s… it’s about Elena. Her powers…” Aldo said, his voice strained.Before he could finish, Eden’s eyes widened in alarm. Instinctively, I sat up in bed, sensing the change in the atmosphere.Without another word, Eden and I bolted from the room, our hearts racing with fear and urgency. We b

ALPHA KING EDENI held Sara as she cried, my own emotions were kept in check for her sake, my resolve solidifying with every tear she shed.Minutes turned into what felt like hours, her sobs slowly quieting down, replaced by the soft sound of her breathing.I continued to hold her, whispering soothing words, my hands never ceasing their gentle, comforting motions.Eventually, the exhaustion of the day took over, and Sara’s eyelids grew heavy. Her breathing became slow and even, and she drifted into sleep, cradled in my embrace.I remained still, staring out into the darkness beyond the windows of my study, my thoughts racing even as my heart beat steadily.I looked down at Sara, her face peaceful in sleep despite the tear stains on her cheeks. I brushed a strand of hair away from her face, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead.At that moment, I made a silent vow. Whatever it took, I would protect my family. I would not let a prophecy dictate the fate of my children. I would seek an

ALPHA KING EDEN [ONE YEAR LATER]The sun cast a warm golden hue over the pack in the late afternoon as Sara and I walked side by side, each of us holding one of the twins’ tiny hands.The air was filled with the scents of the forests, and the distant sound of pack members training echoed through the trees.It was a peaceful day, the kind that made us forget about prophecies and threats, if only for a moment.As we walked, we were greeted by members of the pack, all of whom stopped to pay their respects.A young warrior nodded respectfully, “Alpha, Luna, The twins are getting big.” he said, his voice filled with admiration.“They are,” Sara replied with a smile, her heart swelling with pride. She glanced down at Ethan and Elena, their innocent faces lighting up at the attention. Ethan’s dark hair was tousled by the breeze, while Elena’s wide eyes sparkled with curiosity.We continued walking, passing by the training grounds where a group of warriors were sparring. Some of them paused

SARAEden’s steps were deliberate and steady, as he carried me to the bedroom. As he crossed the threshold, the familiar scent of our shared space surrounded us, and I felt the remnants of tension ease from my body.He gently lowered me onto the bed, my back sinking into the soft sheets. My eyes locked onto his, a silent understanding passing between us.The heat in his gaze mirrored mine, and without a word, we both began to strip away the barriers that had kept us apart for so long.The air was thick with anticipation as we hurriedly undressed, clothes discarded carelessly onto the floor.Months of pent-up frustration, longing, and unspoken words fueled our actions, our movements almost frantic, desperate to reconnect in the most intimate way possible.As soon as the last piece of clothing fell away, Eden moved over me, capturing my lips in a passionate kiss that spoke of all the nights we had spent alone, yearning for each other’s touch.Our bodies met in a hungry embrace, skin ag

SARAOpening the door to Eden’s office, my eyes immediately drew to the sight of my mate and Alpha Darius, shaking hands.A flicker of surprise crossed my face. Only moments before, I had been worrying about the tension between the two of them.It was no secret that Alpha Darius’s lingering glances at me had stirred unease in my mate. Remembering how Eden had insisted on having a private conversation with Darius in his office, my mind had raced with concerns over a possible confrontation.I had even hesitated at the door, listening for raised voices, but the silence had only amplified my anxiety.After waiting for what felt like an eternity, I had decided to check on them. Now, seeing them in a handshake, the hostility seemingly dissipated, I felt a wave of relief mingled with confusion.How had they managed to handle the tension so quickly? What had passed between them to change the charged atmosphere that had hung in the air.As Darius walked out of the office, his posture was relax
