The Alpha's lantern mate 36 The wedding day
Klaus The birds were chirping, singing a melodic song which only made my heart feel miserable as if they were also singing in pain. I sat in the armchair beside the window and stared at the trees of our backyard garden which my mother adored. She was enamored of the gardens and flowers. I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn’t realize it when my mother came into my room. When her hand caressed my shoulder, I felt her presence in my room. “You look handsome as always,” she fidgeted with my tie before meeting my gaze. “I know that you’re going to hate me forever but Amber is a good person, she’ll love you with all her heart and you should know that she didn’t choose her fate herself so you should treat her well unlike your father who never loved me.” She kissed my forehead, engraving her pain. My father never treated her the way she deserved to be treated but it wasn’t my father’s fault entirely. He was forced to reject his mate and for a one-night stand, they both were res
The Alpha's lantern mate 37 The Alpha ceremony
Scarlett With a loose tie hanging around his neck along with a black suit and crisp white shirt beneath the waistcoat, he barged into my room before pulling me in a bone-crushing embrace. I fastened my arms around his hips tightly, not saying anything but feeling the warmth of his body against mine. "I…I did it," he whispered in such a low voice that I didn't know if I was meant to hear it or not but I had heard it anyway. Running my hands down his back, I nuzzled my nose into the crook of his neck, inhaling his strong cinnamon and pine scent that soothed me. Plastering a smile on my face, I hid my pain. The emotions I was dealing with were beyond mere jealousy and hurt. Imagining him kissing another woman in front of everyone broke my heart. I hadn't seen her yet and to be honest, I never wanted to run into her. She was lucky because she had my mate and that too, rightfully, unlike me who will have to fight to have him. "I have had enough of everyone, now. I'll tell them
The Alpha's lantern mate 38 The Throne
Klaus "The wedding is done so I guess you should take your leave," I pronounced with a smirk on my lips. The time to be scared of these people was gone, I was married to their daughter now and owed nothing to them, then. The Alpha King and Xavier looked at me as if I had grown two heads. I had changed into a white suit for the Alpha ceremony and when I saw Amber's family standing in the hall, Todd suggested having some fun with those vicious creatures. "Ah. That was painful. Epic," Todd wagged his tail and rolled out laughing. "Alpha Elbert had invited us for the ceremony. We managed time to attend this though it wasn't part of the wedding," Katherine said with her Queen attitude tone which made me chuckle hard. "Well, it's my ceremony and I haven't invited you, have I?" I asked coldly with a hint of sarcasm. Amber's hand encircled my arm and I got to know about her presence. "You can't talk like that to my parents," she whispered, leaning toward me. I wondered how she could b
The Alpha's lantern mate 39 You're not my Alpha
Scarlett "Enough,” raising my hand up, I shouted loudly enough to earn the attention and silence of the audience who were busy chattering about the injustice with Amber and calling me names. How could they expect me to tolerate this shit? Removing the ring from my finger, I walked to Evelyn whose face had a haughty expression on her face for me. Klaus’s mother hated me, that was for sure but why? I couldn’t figure it out. “Thank you so much, Alpha, for giving me the honor of being a Luna,” I endorsed from a safe distance, looking in his way before turning my face toward the people who were holding the champagne flute in their hands and declared openly, “I owe nothing to you people so I won’t explain anything to you and you can hate me as much as you want, till your heart’s content. I couldn’t care less about your opinions of me.” I knew the consequences of my brutal action. I was being rude, selfish, and a mean bitch but at the end of the day, I had a heart, too. And my heart was
The Alpha's lantern mate 40 I won't accept Amber
Klaus “You’re not my Alpha,” Scarlett screeched out in an outrageous voice, not turning to face me. She halted her feet for a second before heading to the outside of the hall. My mum hastened her steps toward me. “You should go and persuade Amber to attend the ceremony. I’ll give her the ring and she’ll be Luna. At least, she won’t embarrass you in front of your pack by defying your order.” The woman whom I didn’t want in my life but she somehow ended up being my wife and the woman whom I wanted in my life but I couldn’t have, both of them left me alone and my mother wanted me to follow my wife while my heart wanted me to follow my mate. I knew that I made a mistake by using my Alpha voice and ordering her to stay but I couldn’t find any other way to make her stop. Being my Luna could end the struggle she was having with the pack members. For a while, I was confused. What should I do? To whom should I seek advice? I tried my best to give Scarlett what I could and was under my cont
The Alpha's lantern mate 41 A Mistress or a whore?
Scarlett “You stole my place,” he finally emitted after standing there for more than a couple of minutes. The moment his scent filled my nostrils, I felt his presence. The urge to fight with him, to show him how he hurt me was tough to fight with but I didn’t want to start it. If someone had messed with my mood and heart, shouldn’t it be their responsibility to clear their mess? I asked myself and felt satisfied with my reasons so I pouted and decided to ignore his presence. He cleared his throat before opening his mouth, “It used to be my place to hide from my pain and reality. I never attended any family gathering where my in-laws were invited.” How easily he accepted that he was married! How fucking easily…! My wife, my in-laws… His words were breaking my heart and he didn’t have any idea that his stupid words were literally making me feel like trash. Who was I then? Nobody to him. I didn’t care about the ranks, positions, or titles. Nevertheless, I couldn’t withstand anybod
The Alpha's lantern mate 42 Love isn't enough
Klaus “You want me, now, huh?” I mumbled in a low voice, ogling at her breathless face. She nodded promptly with a pained expression on her face. I remembered vaguely how she disregarded me in the hall and dismissed me as her Alpha, I had to remind my ferocious mate that I was her Alpha. “Then, learn to obey me. Tell me that I’m your Alpha and you might get what you want, baby,” moving my lips to her ear, I muttered slowly. “You’re my Alpha,” she wailed in a breathless voice that seemed more like a moan. A smirk slanted on my face when I smelled the strong scent of her arousal. Dragging her body closer to me, I spanked her ass roughly which caused her to scream out in pain. “You’re doing wrong, Klaus. It’s a full moon night, you shouldn’t behave like an asshole,” Todd stated as soon as I raised my hand to spank her again which made me halt in my action. During all this wedding and ceremony stress, I forgot that I had found my mate and it was a full moon night. I should have bee
The Alpha's lantern mate 43 Make you my Luna
Scarlett Pain shimmered in his eyes and I felt a clink of guilt but I had to let it out because I was feeling used and insecure. Nobody wanted me, all the mysteries that my family and my mate had brought into my life, I was becoming more insecure and scared of the surprises they might give me and treat me like trash and will tell me later that it was for my own good. Shouldn’t I at least have the right to decide what’s good for me and what's not?! “I’m sorry but I can’t tolerate this. I can’t withstand you disrespecting yourself,” he opened his mouth again when I didn’t respond to him. “You know, my family had asked me to do what you mentioned and I fought with them not to insult you and I’ll never do that to you.” He exhaled through his mouth before adding, “but my mate herself doubted me again and I must say that it fucking hurts coming from you. You shouldn’t have called yourself that, Scarlett. In the end, nobody cares about the men’s pain. Men get hurt, too, they don’t want jus

The Alpha's lantern mate 77 Epilogue
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

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
