The Alpha's lantern mate 27 Wolfless Werewolf
Scarlett “The King seeks your presence, my princess,” an old lady bowed to me. The ivory white walls of the palace seemed strangely familiar as if I had grown up in that palace and cried between the four taffy pink walls of my room. Throwing a last glance in the mirror, I adjusted my diamond tiara before nodding my head in approval, satisfied with my looks. The peach satin gown with frills at the top around my shoulders made me look like a royal princess. The silver stone-studded, multi-layer necklace matched perfectly with my dress. As I made my way out of my room, one of the maids trotted hastily to me with matching peach gloves in her hands. “Princess, be careful. It’s a big day and nobody should touch you except your mate,” she informed, helping me with wearing the gloves and a diamond ring. Mouthing thank you to her, I descended the stairs only to find the royal throne coated with the blood and a dead wolf’s head on the pinhead of a sword. The scenario scared the shit out of m
The Alpha's lantern mate 28 Can't challenge an Alpha
Klaus “You felt a slight headache due to two reasons. First, the new mind-link of your mate, and second, blocking all the mind-links so your mind couldn’t handle two things at a time but as you’re soon to be Alpha, you recovered sooner than Scarlett,” Asher explained to me whilst Scarlett was preoccupied in the bathroom. “There is nothing to be worried about Scarlett, right?” I asked almost a tenth time and a frown plastered on his face in response. Shaking his head in annoyance, he stood up from his chair. “Yes, possessive Alpha. Your mate is alright, the only thing which isn't usual is her wolf’s insensibility towards us. Weirdly, we can’t feel or smell her scent.” I rose to my feet. “I can smell her scent but my wolf also can’t feel any connection with Scarlett’s wolf. I saw golden flecks in her eyes during our intimacy regardless of not any sign of furs on her skin,” I said whatever bothered Todd as he couldn’t feel closer to our mate’s wolf. Asher nodded his head in cognition
The Alpha's lantern mate 29 Layla
Scarlett When you haven’t heard from your parents for the last one month and now, when they pay you a secret visit, they find out that you have found your mate and you’re already marked. I was trying to grasp how my parents would be feeling right now, sitting in front of their killer daughter. Was it necessary to understand their emotions when they couldn’t care less about my heart? Absolutely no. Although it’s tough to hate the people who loved you since your existence in the world. I still loved my parents despite how they abandoned me and blamed me for Rhea’s death which was right perhaps. If it wouldn't have been me away from the pack, she wouldn't have got killed by a rogue. “Does your mate treat you right?” My father finally opened his mouth, his eyes glinting with remorse. I shrugged, hiding my pain. “Does it even matter to you?” Laughing, I rose to my feet to leave them alone. I couldn’t play pretend games anymore. Doctor Asher and Kia took good care of me when I fainted
The Alpha's lantern mate 30 Hid the truth for 2 decades
Klaus “You were right, you failed as a mother,” I barked coldly at her, not caring about how she would feel coming this from her son whom she dearly loved. “If you would have shown a tiny ray of faith in me and supported me when I would have been fighting, I would have made you proud, mom but you broke my heart today.” “Yes, I’m a shameless selfish mother who wants her son alive at any cost, even at the cost of getting hate from her own son,” she said with teary eyes. “I don’t want to be proud of a martyred son," she stifled a sob as she enunciated. I scoffed, “that proves how much you trust me and for a man, the most crucial moment is when anyone questions his capability and for a son, it's disheartening to see his mom not trusting him. You hurt my existence,” adding this, I made my way to leave. “Remember that if you still challenge Alpha King, you’ll be the enemy of eleven packs, and our pack would be in a miserable situation forever,” mum reminded me of why I couldn’t fight ag
The Alpha's lantern mate 31 Lantern can't reject
Scarlett “You can’t reject your mate, Scarlett. You’re a lantern and your wolf is too weak to survive after the pain of rejection. You’ll die if you reject him,” Layla interpreted when I told her that I wanted to reject him. I didn’t want him to do a duel with the Alpha King for me because there was no way anyone could win against the Alpha King. “Doesn't lantern mean just late bloomers?” I cross-questioned, feeling despondent hearing what she told me. Layla averted her gaze and looked at the ceiling of the hall. “Lantern means weak wolves who need time to shift thus your chances of survival after rejection are too low to even consider the idea. And your weak wolf is the reason behind your fainting, too. Whenever any changes happen in your body, your wolf isn’t able to bear it.” “What’s the solution, then?” I asked annoyingly, neglecting the pain in my chest which started like a fog. Layla suppressed her lips before shaking her head. “Nothing, we can wait for your wolf to show up,
The Alpha's lantern mate 32 Blood Sacrifice
Scarlett When I came to the Black Moonstone pack, I was emotionally broken and a lonely girl who was trying to overcome the pain of losing her sister and the hate of her family. Within a month, I didn’t even realize when I started healing from the death of Rhea but now, when I was sitting beside my mate, I felt deja vu. The memories of Rhea's limbs covered in blood rushed into my mind and I couldn't breathe. Why did the Moon Goddess give me more pain? Losing my sister was painful enough for me to overcome, I won't be able to lose one more special person in my life. Klaus was the only person who had me occupied with his tactics and stupid actions that I was healing from the pain of losing Rhea. I wanted to believe his promises and fight beside him for us. I touched my mark on his neck which made me feel the same sparks and a twang spread in my body as our marks glimmered with a golden hue. My lips pulled into a smile and my eyes shedded the worried liquid. “What does this mean?
The Alpha's lantern mate 33 How dare you!
Klaus “You shouldn’t have shunned me out before trying to kill us,” Todd growled, taking the control of my body and pushing me back to my mind where he lived. I could only feel the pain in my chest as doctor Asher stitched my wound up, my eyes weren’t opened yet but I had heard all the voices in my unconscious state. Though my body was losing warmth, when I heard her saying I love you via mind-link, I felt goosebumps and regretted my actions as I saw how badly I had affected my mate. “Just like I’m your part, our mate is also a part of you and everything that we do will affect our mate. She is enduring vast pain due to your ridiculous action, you arsehole,” Todd reprimanded me and started healing me with his powers. “I’m sorry, okay?” I retorted to him. I knew what I did was wrong but at that time, I was feeling so lonely and broken that instead of asking for help from my mate, I attempted suicide. My wolf whimpered loudly, pouting his mouth like a puppy. He always seemed cute wh
The Alpha's lantern mate 34 She struck my cheek
Klaus Her eyes showed everything that I needed to know. The swelling of her eyes told me that she had cried enough because of me to have her beautiful eyes turning red, her eyes were so expressive and honest. The way they held love and tendency for me in those blue oceans, I felt regret for making the worst decision of my life. You know, when you have lost the reason for your life and then, you see something that inspires you to live. For me, she was an inspiration to live my life now. I had found the purpose for living, my sole focus till my death. I should make my mate happy and provide her with a life of dignity and love. Tipping her chin in my hand, I made her look into my eyes. “Shush, Scar. I’m fine, now,” I mumbled while consoling her as I caught her eyes getting wet. “I’m sorry, I hurt you and made you put your life in danger.” “Shut the fu-k up,” she suddenly struck my cheek once again, leaving me speechless. “How dare you leave me alone?” “Ouch!” I exclaimed in pain, ru

Scarlett“I don’t think that I will be able to attend the ceremony without throwing up again,” I sighed, sitting on the edge of the bed, waiting for Klaus to bring me a lemonade so I would feel better.“Here,” he held the glass and I finished it. “You’re looking so gorgeous, honey.” I looked at my reflection in the mirror again and fixed my hair. The off-shoulder red dress hugged my curves perfectly while the gold necklace and bracelet complimented my outfit. My stylist, hairdresser, and makeup artist went outside after getting me ready because I wanted to be just with my mate.The crowd didn’t make me feel good, I was feeling more nauseous around them. I shouldn’t have eaten that lobster which I didn’t like for dinner last time. “You’re looking the best yourself, too,” I winked at him. His phone started ringing so I got up from the bed, ready to go down.“Finally, Asher’s call for your reports,” he said, shaking his head in relief.Mom and Evelyn entered my room, their lips parted i
The Alpha's lantern mate 76 You're jealous
Scarlett“Is everything alright?” I asked him after he cut the call. His expressions told me that it wasn’t because he seemed fuming in anger.“I have to leave tomorrow morning for the pack. Mom isn’t doing well, she had a stroke when I challenged Alex to the duel and none of them thought of telling this earlier. Asher has told me now that she is out of danger but I have to see her for myself,” he told me, rubbing his temples as he tried to calm himself down.Placing my head on his shoulder, I held his waist and we walked together to my bed. “We will leave together for our pack, Klaus.”“You’re meeting your family after so long, babe. I can’t take you with me. I will come back to take you with me,” he said with a smile on his face.“No. I can’t stay away from you anymore now,” I pouted. “They can come with us and live at Rachel’s for a while. I’m sure that they would love to come with us.”“As you say, my love,” he kissed my forehead, pulling me closer to his chest and sleeping on the
The Alpha's lantern mate 75 Breakfast
Klaus“We don’t have enough room here, Alpha Klaus. I hope you don’t mind sharing a room with me,” Liam told me in a stiff voice, glowering at me. I knew that he wasn’t going to let me stay here easily, he was determined to make me run away from here.If he was adamant about making my life hell here, I was intent on proving to him that I was not a coward whom he could scare away. I was determined to change his opinion of me. “You’re going too far, Liam,” Scarlett objected, glaring at her brother as we walked upstairs. Catherine had offered Amber and her mother to come to the palace to live with her for a while till the crowning ceremony was done. Layla was also excited to stay with her friend after so long and I was pretty sure that they had a lot to catch up on.“I have no problem with sharing a room with you,” I told her brother, looking him straight in his eyes.His gaze hardened as he smirked. “That’s great. Let’s have a man-to-man talk, then,” he said coldly before looking at my
The Alpha's lantern mate 74 Grateful
Scarlett“Why didn’t she tell me this earlier?” I whispered after hearing from Amber that my mother didn’t have much time left after healing my mate. She didn’t tell me that she was weakening after healing others.“Sasha told me that she wanted you to live happily with me, that’s why she took Asher under her Queen's command to make the potion,” Klaus replied in a low voice, taking my hands in his before adding, “I promise, my love, nothing will happen to her.” Amber had turned her face in the opposite direction, her back facing us, since we shifted back to our human forms. She was murmuring a spell now and soon, we both were dressed and not naked anymore. “I’m sorry but we need to hurry. I can’t let anything happen to her after seeing her condition when she was taken somewhere else by your men,” Amber disclosed, glancing between us and locking her gaze with mine.My eyebrows shot up, my Mom didn’t look that sick when I ordered Damon to take her to the Blood Moon pack. “What do you m
The Alpha's lantern mate 73 Raw meat
Klaus“Back off,” Alex commanded me, his powerful Alpha aura suffocating me as I tried to fight his command. His aura shouldn’t have affected me, he wasn’t an Alpha yet unless…His golden aura confirmed my doubts and I realized that Harold had fucking stepped down from his position and had made his son the Alpha King privately which should have been a public ceremony.My head was lowering, submitting to him but I fought back his command, grabbing him by the throat which caused me severe pain in my body as he was my King now. Well, hell with that bullshit. There was no way I would accept that piece of shit as my King.I shifted back to my human form to challenge him for the duel. “I, Klaus Nelson, Alpha of the Black Moonstone pack, challenge you-” Before I could finish, Amber came between us, freeing herself from his father’s hold.“No, Klaus. You wouldn’t be able to win against the Alpha King. You’re not the Lycan King yet,” Amber said while raising her hands and summoning her powers b
The Alpha's lantern mate 72 Freya
Scarlett I stood amidst the gathered pack members, my heart pounding loudly in my chest. I had known that attending this ceremony would be a test of my strength, but nothing could have prepared me for what I was about to witness. The atmosphere was charged with tension as Samuel, the power-hungry bastard held my mother captive once again. My mother, the Lycan Queen, was bound and gagged, her eyes filled with a mixture of fear and defiance. Samuel's grip on her was unyielding, and his sinister smile sent shivers down my spine. I still couldn’t comprehend how this happened when all of my people had accepted me as their Queen and pledged their loyalty to me. There must be a snitch who informed him about my mother being here or there was no way that he could find her here. My eyes searched for the culprit who dared to betray me but shock was written all over Damon and Jasper’s faces. They couldn’t betray me when they loathed Samuel, too. “Did you really think that I would trust you?

Klaus “Do you think she will come?” Jenna fixed my crooked tie while I looked into the mirror at my shadow. The Armani suit that my mother brought for me to wear to the ceremony fitted me well. The dark circles beneath my eyes and the beard made me look exhausted. I didn’t hate Amber but it was a relief not to have her around. I was grateful that she chose to get ready for tonight in another room. “We both don’t have any other choice, Jenny,” I clutched my chest and sat on the chair. “You have not healed completely yet, brother. Take rest for a while. We still have a bit of time before the ceremony commences,” My sister patted my shoulder and gave me a glass of water. ‘Alpha, can you come to my house?’ Rachel’s link popped into my head as I gulped the water. ‘Is Scarlett there?’ I asked immediately, my eyes lit with hope. My feisty mate could do anything and now that she had unlocked her powers and true identity, nothing could stop her. ‘No. Queen Catherine has escaped throu
The Alpha's lantern mate 70 Escape from dungeon
Scarlett The metallic smell of the blood was getting on my nerves. The dungeons were fucking worst thing that one would see in the Lycan’s kingdom. Everything else was so pretty but the cells were the epitome of the living hell. All the guards and the torturers couldn’t muster the courage to look my mom or me in the eye. They knew what they were doing and they were very well aware of their wrongdoings. As we walked toward the cell, all of the prisoners bowed to us and my mom looked at me with pride in her eyes. “They all were waiting for their true Queen,” my mom said, tears threatening to fall from her eyes. “I’m not going to set all the prisoners free. They must have done some crime to end up in the cell. Not all of them are a threat to Samuel,” I told my mom, clearly not willing to show mercy to the criminals. I would not relish in their pain and wouldn’t torture them mercilessly but I wouldn’t let them pass the crimes they had committed. My mom grabbed my elbow though her w
The Alpha's lantern mate 69 Coven
Klaus I floated in the abyss, a realm of hazy consciousness, neither asleep nor awake. Time seemed to slip away, and the pain in my heart remained ever-present, like a relentless tormentor. In the distant echoes of my thoughts, I could sense the presence of voices, but they were muffled and distant, like whispers from another world. ‘Klaus, my love, can you hear me?’ A soft, melodic voice penetrated the darkness, pulling at the tethers of my awareness. It was Scarlett, my mate, calling to me with a voice filled with desperation and love. I struggled to respond, to reach out to her, but my body remained unresponsive, trapped in this agonizing state of paralysis. The burning pain in my heart intensified, a reminder of my helplessness. 'Amber,' Todd's voice trembled with uncertainty. 'She might be our only hope to wake you.' As if in response to Todd's suggestion, I sensed a surge of energy, a presence drawing closer to me. It was Amber, the powerful witch whose abilities had saved m
