The Alpha’s claimed mate Chapter 028
**Later That Night** The pack house had quieted by the time I climbed into bed, but my mind was far from calm. Thoughts of Kael, Ezra, the Moon Ball, and the possibility of reuniting with Ruby and Aria spun in endless circles. The idea of seeing my old friends again filled me with equal parts hope and dread. What if they weren’t the same? What if *I* wasn’t the same? I rolled onto my side, staring at the silver light of the moon streaming through my window. The events of the day replayed in my head like a film stuck on a loop. Kael’s fiery declaration echoed the loudest, his words burrowing under my skin. *"She is my fucking mate!"* The raw intensity in his voice had shaken me to my core. Mate. The word felt heavy, foreign. I didn’t fully understand what it meant in Kael’s world, but I knew it bound me to him in ways I wasn’t sure I wanted—or could handle. And then there was Ezra. His strong determination to protect me against kael was becoming unsettling, his defiance in

Kael’s gaze locked onto mine, his intense, molten eyes searching for something unspoken. His presence felt overwhelming, like a storm pressing down on me. I could barely breathe under the weight of his attention, and yet, I didn’t want him to look away. “Little mouse,” he murmured, his voice a dark caress. He took a slow step closer, his hand brushing against my cheek, his thumb gently tracing the curve of my jaw. “Do you even understand what you mean to me? What you do to me, whenever you are close?” I shook my head, unable to find my voice. The space between us felt too charged, too intimate. Every nerve in my body was on edge as his warmth seeped into me. “You’re mine,” he said, the words a soft growl. “And I need you to understand what that means.” Kael’s fingers slid down to my chin, tilting my face up to his. His touch was both commanding and careful, as if he feared I might break under his hands. My heart raced, every beat echoing in my ears. “Kael…” I whispered, my v

My eyes fluttered open, mu vision swimming as I tried to make sense of my surroundings. The room was unfamiliar—bright sunlight streamed in through sheer curtains, casting warm, golden light over the tidy space. The faint scent of herbs lingered in the air, mingling with the clean, earthy smell of wood. I blinked, my body aching as if I had been put through a grinder. Slowly, my senses sharpened, and I could recognize the voice calling my name. "Astrid! You’re awake!" Maya’s relieved face came into focus as she leaned over the bed, her soft blue eyes glimmering with unshed tears. "Oh, thank the gods. We didn’t know if you’d make it." "Maya...?" I croaked, my throat was dry. Maya nodded, brushing damp strands of hair from my forehead. "You’ve been out for two days. Running the highest fever I’ve ever seen. Alice thought..." She hesitated, biting her lip. "She thought we might lose you. I have never seen her this worried all my life.” I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot thro

The warmth of the morning sun filtered through the windows, a golden glow settling over the quiet room. I sat on the edge of the bed, gingerly brushing my fingers over the fresh mark on my neck. It ached faintly, a reminder of the reckless decision I’d made two nights ago. I had survived—but just barely. Maya’s words still echoed in my mind. *You need to be careful. Keep it hidden.* I had taken her advice to heart. Wrapping a scarf around my neck, I secured it tightly, covering the angry, crescent-shaped bite that felt like it radiated heat. I couldn’t risk anyone else seeing it—not yet. The scent of freshly baked bread drifted into the room, and my stomach growled in response. Two days of unconsciousness had left me ravenous. But more than that, it left me desperate for normalcy. The past few days had been a whirlwind of pain, revelations, and emotions I wasn’t ready to confront. I needed something grounding. Familiar. **The Kitchen** The clang of pots and pans greeted me as I s

Kael’s eyes were locked on mine, burning with an intensity that made my knees feel weak. The air between us was suffocating, thick with tension and unspoken words. My body betrayed me further, trembling as another wave of heat rolled through me. I pressed my back against the counter, desperate to put any distance between us. “Kael,” I whispered again, my voice shaky. “You shouldn’t be here.” His lips curled into a wry smile, but his golden eyes didn’t soften. If anything, they grew darker. “Shouldn’t I? Or is it that you don’t want me here?” I swallowed hard, my throat dry. “I… I can’t do this. Not tonight.” Kael stepped closer, his presence overwhelming. I could feel the heat radiating from him, his scent wrapping around me like a vice. My hands gripped the edge of the counter so tightly that my knuckles turned white. “Don’t lie to me, Astrid.” His voice was low, a growl simmering beneath the surface. “You think I can’t feel it? Smell it?” My cheeks burned with humiliatio

The moment I stepped onto the top of the staircase, the entire hall seemed to hold its breath. The soft hum of conversation faded into silence, heads turning in unison toward me as though I had unknowingly commanded their attention. My heart pounded in my chest, but I kept my chin high, pretending that I was oblivious to the weight of their gazes. The gown I wore wasn’t mine—I couldn’t afford such finery—but Maya had insisted, practically dragging me into the shimmering fabric. Changing my initial red option to look different, I chose a deep midnight blue, the color of the sky just before the full moon rises, and it clung to my body like a second skin, accentuating curves I usually tried to hide. The fabric sparkled faintly under the chandelier’s light, tiny crystals sewn into the material catching every glimmer. A daring slit ran up one leg, revealing just enough skin to make me feel exposed but powerful at the same time. My hair was styled in loose waves, cascading over my shoul

Who the hell was he to tell me what to do? I angrily stormed back into the hall, scanning the crowd for a potential victim of my assault just to prove a point. At that moment, I could feel the heat of Kael’s gaze burning into my back. His claim of ownership, his arrogance—it lit a fire in me, but not in the way he assumed. If he thought he could control me, he had another thing coming. I scanned the room, my eyes narrowing until I found him—Caleb, a strikingly handsome warrior from one of the visiting packs. His dark hair fell in soft waves around his sharp jawline, and his green eyes sparkled with mischief. He was standing near the drink table, laughing at something another warrior said. Perfect. I strode across the hall, my determination turning heads as I made my way toward him. My heart pounded in my chest, not from nerves, but from the sheer audacity of what I was about to do. I didn’t care. If Kael thought he could dictate my life, he needed to see how wrong he was. Caleb

I don’t know how long we walk for but a faint light shown in the distance. I could feel my bones protesting in agony, and my stomach wasn’t helping matters.I leaned against a tree, taking in deep sharp breaths.“We are almost there, little mouse.” Kael’s voice sounded so distant.Little mouse, he called me.We have been so caught up in wars and fight that we barely had time for each other. I Opened my eyes and gave in a weak smile.He lifted me into his arms, carrying like a child that weighed nothing, I placed my head in his chest listening to the sound of his heartbeat. It was loud but steady. Steady enough to calm my nerves.We got to a little house in the middle of nowhere, the air around the area was thick and heavy with magic.My feet touch the dried up leaves, that made a crunchy sound.“We’re here.” Kael said, guiding me to the front pouch, were a lantern sat my the door side. The door creaked open and a familiar figure emerged.My eyes widen in shock.“Ruby” I breathed out

We ran deeper into the forest, our breaths ragged, the dense foliage scraping against our skin as we weaved through the trees. Kael’s hand never let go of mine, his grip grounding me, keeping me from succumbing to the fear clawing at my chest. The moonlight barely filtered through the canopy above, casting eerie shadows across the forest floor. Behind us, the sounds of the wolves tearing into the guards echoed through the night. But I knew better than to think we were safe. Kael’s mother wasn’t one to give up so easily, and every step forward felt like a countdown to another confrontation. “We need a plan,” I said between gasps, glancing over my shoulder. “She’s not going to stop.” Kael slowed his pace just enough to glance at me, his face grim and determined. “We’ll get to the eastern cliffs. There’s a path that leads down to the river. If we can reach it, we can lose her in the water.” “What about her magic? She found us once; she can do it again.” His jaw tightened. “Not

The cold night air hit me like a slap as I burst through the crumbling gates. The forest beyond stretched like a dark, endless labyrinth, but it was freedom, and that was all that mattered. My heart pounded as I stumbled forward, my legs trembling from exertion. A deep, familiar growl pulled me to a halt. My eyes darted around the shadows until I saw him. Kael. He stood just beyond the treeline, his silhouette powerful and commanding. His wolf loomed just beneath the surface, his eyes glowing with a predatory light. Relief flooded me, and before I knew it, I was running toward him. “Kael!” He moved faster than I anticipated, meeting me halfway. His arms wrapped around me, pulling me against his chest so tightly I could barely breathe. “Astrid,” he murmured, his voice rough with emotion. His hands trembled as they roamed over me, as if he needed to confirm I was real. “You’re safe. Thank the goddess.” Tears pricked my eyes, but I pulled back slightly, gripping his

Megan led me through the dark corridors with a precision that was almost unnerving. She moved like a shadow, her steps silent and deliberate. I followed close behind, my senses gradually sharpening as the potion cleared the magic's lingering effects. The fortress was eerily quiet, but every now and then, we’d hear faint echoes of footsteps or voices in the distance. Each time, Megan would stop, holding up a hand to signal me to stay still. Her sharp ears picked up on things I couldn’t hear, and I had to trust her instincts. “Where’s Kael?” I whispered as we paused in a narrow hallway, the dim light casting flickering shadows on the walls. She glanced at me, her expression unreadable. “He’s outside, trying to breach the main wards. It’s taking longer than expected. Your mother-in-law doesn’t mess around when it comes to fortifying her stronghold.” “You and Kael…….I thought-“ I was unable to finish my sentence. No knowing how to put the question. A small smile danced on her lip
The Alpha’s claimed mate Chapter 087
**Astrid’s POV** After kael had lost consciousness in the veil through the fight and injury to his side, i sat beside him hoping against hope that those things didn’t come back out. In a blink of the eye we were transported into a different place , the air was crispy and sweet. It smelled like home. The grass was green and lush, shining under the soft rays of the sun. Where are we? Was this still some part of the test? I laid my head back, already tired from the fight we just had, soon I fell fast asleep in a peaceful embrace of the warm breeze. The last thing I remembered was the thick scent of lavender and iron. My head swam as the world blurred around me, and then everything went black. When I woke, I was bound and gagged, my arms aching from being pulled taut above my head. The room was dim, the only light coming from a single flickering torch mounted on the stone wall. Panic coursed through me as I tried to move, my wolf snarling within me, but the chains held firm, and t

Megan shifted back into her human form, brushing her hair from her face as she scanned the fortress ahead. The ominous structure loomed against the night sky, its dark towers piercing the clouds. Torches flickered along the high walls, and faint shadows moved within the light—guards patrolling the perimeter."Do you have a plan?" she asked, her tone laced with sarcasm but underpinned by urgency.I growled softly, still shaking off the pain in my flank. "Get in. Find Astrid. Kill anything that gets in my way."Megan raised an eyebrow. "Straightforward. I like it. But unless you've developed the ability to teleport past walls, you're going to need a bit more finesse." She pointed toward the eastern side of the fortress, where a smaller guard tower stood. "That’s our best bet. Less fortified, and it connects to the servant’s quarters."I nodded, though my wolf snarled at the idea of sneaking. Every fiber of me screamed to storm the gates, to rip through the fortress and tear apart anyone

Megan didn’t hesitate. She grabbed a thick leather satchel from the corner of the room, tossing it over her shoulder as she turned to face me. Her expression was sharp and determined, her wolf brimming just beneath the surface. “If we’re going to do this, we need to move now,” she said. “The Shadow Ward won’t stay static. Your mother’s defenses are always shifting, and every second we waste is a second closer to Astrid being lost.”I nodded, my wolf growling low with anticipation. “Lead the way.”Megan stepped to the door and paused, glancing back at me. “This isn’t just a straight fight, Kael. If we’re caught, there’s no backup, no escape. You’re ready for that?”“I wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t.”Her smirk returned, though it didn’t quite reach her eyes. “Fair enough. Let’s see if that alpha blood of yours is worth something.”***The forest was darker now, the trees dense and ancient as if the weight of centuries pressed down on them. Megan moved with the grace of a predator, her w

The name *Shadow Ward* struck a deep chord of fear in my chest. Even my wolf bristled at the mention of it. The Shadow Ward was more than just a prison—it was a black hole, a place where hope went to die. Anyone taken there either never returned or came back broken beyond repair. “You think she’s there?” I asked, my voice tight.Megan’s green eyes darkened, her wolf stirring beneath the surface. “If your mother’s playing her usual games, then yes. It’s exactly the kind of place she’d put Astrid to keep you in line. It’s warded, Kael. No one just walks into the Shadow Ward and comes out alive.”I slammed my fist on the table, the wood groaning under the force. “I don’t care how dangerous it is. If Astrid’s there, I’m going after her.”Megan’s lips curled into a snarl, her wolf rising to meet mine. “Don’t be an idiot. You can’t storm in there half-dead and expect to fight your way out. The wards alone would cripple you before you even set foot inside. You’ll need more than brute streng

The impact sent me sprawling backward, the ground biting into my palms as I landed hard. The air was charged with energy, crackling like static against my skin. I growled low in my throat, shaking my head to clear the ringing."Shit," I muttered again, struggling to my feet. My side throbbed in protest, but I ignored it, focusing on the invisible barrier in front of me.Magic. My mother’s handiwork, no doubt. She’d sealed the perimeter with one of her traps, designed to keep intruders—or escapees like me—contained. I could feel the power humming in the air, ancient and relentless.I placed my hand against the invisible force, my claws extending instinctively. It burned, a searing heat that made my wolf recoil, but I didn’t pull back. Instead, I closed my eyes and reached for the bond I shared with Astrid, searching for even the faintest trace of her.Nothing. Just a void where her presence should be.Frustration surged through me, but I shoved it aside. I couldn’t afford to lose contr
