4 I was her mate

Being an Alpha and having a mate was the most vainglorious thing in the werewolf’s world. Our pack was lacking financially, and in every way the other packs were affluent whilst our pack was the lowest because it was the pack of rogues.
My family history was preposterous and mournful. My great-great-grandfather killed his brother because that asshole tried to rape his mate and everyone annunciated him as a rogue. And since then, he started living as a rogue despite having the Alpha genes.
Our pack was virtually the pack of all the rogue werewolves and that’s why we weren’t considered as a decent pack. Everyone behaved like we were some despicable creatures except one pack-Blood Moon Pack.
I was invited to Scarlett’s birthday party. Her alluring chocolate and berry scent drew me to that lake and I had my first kiss with her.
With my mate.
That was the best night of my life. I still hadn’t been able to sleep after that night.
Once you kiss your mate, the mating bond starts working slowly in its own way. You crave your mate so badly.
And deep down, I knew that I was just giving her lame excuses to think of me as a jerk and reject me. I was helpless, I wasn’t able to reject her. Even hurting her was causing me so much guilt that I was hating myself.
The moment I smelled her sweet scent, I knew that she was my mate and I was falling for her.
“Why are you there again, Klaus?” Jenna’s irritated voice jerked me out of my sweet thoughts about my mate. “What are you hiding, brother? You always hide on this cliff whenever you create a mess.”
Ridiculous.
My life wasn’t mine. It was a mess since my grandfather fixed my engagement with an unknown girl who wasn’t even my mate.
“Ask our grandfather, why did he make my life a mess?” I scoffed, hiding the pain I was suffering through since childhood.
Jenna’s green eyes glittered with fury and sympathy, she loved me more than everyone else and that’s why she hated our grandfather for doing that to me. I was destined to marry Dark Moon Pack’s Alpha’s daughter.
Werewolves weren’t supposed to have this kinda arranged marriage. It was clearly a curse for a werewolf, we could feel loved, satisfied with only one person- our true mate.
“You have found your mate, haven’t you?” Jenna sat beside me, sliding her head on my shoulder to comfort me. That was the amazing thing about her, I didn’t have to tell her anything, she would always guess the right thing.
There was no benefit in hiding or lying. I just didn’t want Scarlett to get hurt. If she's mated to me, she’ll get hurt and I won’t be able to do anything.
“I want her to reject me, Jenny. She’s already going through a lot and I don’t want to be another mess in her life. I’m a mess and I’ll make her life messier if she gets to know the truth,” I said, despondently.
We were sitting on the corner of the cliff, our legs hanging on the edge of the hill. The orange hues above in the sky seemed perfect with the gloomy clouds that matched my bad luck. It was the most beautiful place in our pack territory.
“Can’t we cancel your engagement, Klaus? We’ll find allies who will fight for us if Blood Moon Pack decides to destroy us,” Jenna spoke innocently, knowing the truth already. We couldn’t afford a war with any pack, we were the lowest in the rank.
“Let’s not talk about this. We know the ending already, I’ll have to compromise my whole life for this pack,” I said, not glancing at her. “Let’s get back to the villa.”
Standing up from the surface, my eyes lingered on the beautiful sunset in the sky which reminded me of my mate. I shook my head and tried to accept the reality. I couldn’t have her. I’ll have to let her go.
She deserves another mate who’ll cherish her, love her the best possible way and she won’t get hurt.
“You asshole. How can you let our mate be with someone else?” Todd, my wolf growled in the back of my mind who had shunned me since the morning. To be more precise, since I hurt our mate in the garden.
He was rebelling a lot but I didn’t listen to him. Instead, I put a barrier between us so he shunned me as a punishment.
“I love our mate, too, but I can’t let her hurt more in the future and whenever she’ll get to know about my engagement, she’ll get beyond hurt,” I tried to explain to my wolf. After all, he was a part of me, there was no benefit in fighting with him.
We both were right, he wasn’t ready to let our mate go and I wasn’t ready to let our mate get hurt.
Taking a last look at the sky, I took a step ahead to get to the villa but Jenna halted me by holding my wrist.
“Those people are waiting for you there. Especially your fiancee. She was asking about you and I made an excuse of finding you to come out,” she explained and shrugged which made sense.
“And you knew that I’ll be here, huh?”
“Of course, my brother. Who else will know if it’s not me,” she cockily said, sending a wink my way.
She didn’t know how grateful I was to have her in my life. Smiling, I hugged her and her familiar apple scent comforted me. We could find comfort only in our family members or our mates.
“Hey, Cuz. Look, who have I found in the woods?” Marcus’s overexcited voice startled me. He went to his grandparents’ house last week.
I turned to see him standing closer with my mate and for the first time, I wanted to break his face. My wolf was on the edge of coming out, I had to control my fury and wolf. Todd will only make things worse.
“When did you return?” I tried avoiding her, avoiding even looking at her beautiful face which was tougher than fighting a war. Though I could feel her intense gaze on me which demanded attention.
“I just came back and found this beauty struggling going back home so I was dropping her home but in the midway, I found you two here,” he asserted, hugging Jenna and me.
Why wasn’t I feeling happy since he was back?
He was my favorite cousin, my best buddy. We grew up together. We’re close.
All I could think about was punching him into the guts so he could stand away from my mate.
Scarlett was standing silent, listening to our conversation absentmindedly but staring at my lips. I looked at her finally and her lustful eyes gawked at my lips as if she wanted to kiss me, it felt like she wanted nothing but me.
“What the fu-k.” Marcus cried out and held her into his arms as she was losing her consciousness. She fainted and I ran to her, taking her in my arms.
I was her mate, not Marcus.
She couldn't go into heat, could she?

Scarlett Wandering here and there, I was trying hard to get over that asshole dude who just cared about s-x. I was sure that he was that big bad Alpha who had slept with every girl in his pack. A part of me wanted to show him what he could get and be wild with him. The dark desires in me wanted me to give in to them but I was protesting them. I wanted him to believe in the mating bond and the fact that he could feel the love and satisfaction with me only. I was his fuc-ing mate for fu-k’s sake. I wanted to scream out all the frustration that I was getting because of him, the thoughts about him being with other girls were driving me mad, and not in a good way. Sitting on the ground, I looked at the sky and the bluish-orange hues seemed gloomy as if giving company to my pain. It was beautiful. Beautiful as a melancholic charm. The clouds and the pretty colors of the sky reminded me more of him and I found myself taking heavy breaths as if I ran a marathon. My mouth started gett
The Alpha's lantern mate 6 Her first heat
Klaus Jenna and Marcus paced around outside the room whilst I watched them getting worried for my mate and wishing for her to be well from the window of the room. Asher, the pack doctor had allowed me to stay inside the room though I didn’t ask him for this favor. Scarlett’s whole body was sweating and her skin was getting whiter as each second was passing by. “You’re wasting the time and putting her life in danger, honey. You know, nothing can be done once a she-wolf goes into her heat. Her heating process has already started,” Kia gushed in a worried tone. She was Asher's mate and wife, they were the oldest couple in the pack. Asher had warned me that I was putting her life in danger by deciding not to mate with her but I wanted him to search for the reason why her body was getting pale and bruises? What was so different about her? Even Todd didn’t find her wolf. We were waiting for past an hour for her to wake up but now, the case was getting worse as she wasn’t showing any
The Alpha's lantern mate 7 I don't want you
Scarlett My whole body was sweating and I was feeling so hot, aroused, and frantic. It was the insane phase of my life-the heating process. Rhea and I used to talk about it but I didn’t know that my lantern wolf was so desperate for her mate that she would bring me in heat within a week of finding my mate. I was fighting against my desires and it felt like I was fighting against a part of me that craved his touch, his kisses, and everything that he could do to me. Yet my pride and dignity didn’t want to give in because he was the badboy Alpha who didn’t care about his mate. “Ah,” I moaned, swallowing a lump in my throat when my eyes fell on his well-built muscular back, he was taking his gray t-shirt off and leaped into the crystal clear pond. I didn’t even realize it when my hand slid down and I took my hot pants off. I was feeling drawn to him and he knew it. That’s why it hurt my ego more. Licking my lips, I tried to control my heavy breaths but all my efforts went in vain
The Alpha's lantern mate 8 Playing games
Klaus Outrage would be an understatement to illustrate what I was feeling now. She was taking it as fun, sometimes she would kiss me and sometimes she would just simply ask me not to touch her. Which seemed more like she was playing games with me or maybe playing hard to get. Nevertheless, I behaved like a jerk but I had reasons and I was taking the responsibility for her heat, too, while I could let any other man satisfy her but I was here for her only. “You are not the Alpha yet so stop acting like the one.” Todd scowled in the back of my mind. “And it was you who decided to behave like an arse-ole with her so it ain’t her fault.” “Wow. You also take her side and the next full moon I’ll be twenty and get the title of the Alpha so don’t worry about that. No one gets to disobey their Alpha, not even my mate,” I retorted to him and he just rolled his eyes at me before going back and sloping. She couldn’t hurt my pride again and again and make me feel like some creepy guy who just w
The Alpha's lantern mate 9 Slow kiss
Scarlett Waking up to the sunshine ensuing on my face from the window was the thing that made me smile before I yawned loudly, stretching my arms out. “You know, you can’t marry her. She can’t be Luna but the mother of your pups and well, you can keep her as your…” a woman’s voice shadowed but she was cut off by a man’s shady voice, “enough. I don’t want you to use such words for her. You have had enough control of my life, let me handle this one.” The voices of arguments made me frown in the morning, my head was already spinning and a sharp pain triggered my head as I tried to figure out where I was and who these stupid people were who decided to argue in the morning. My hands pressed to my head to stop the pain and some voices that were playing and attempting to remind me what happened earlier. Surely, I wasn't in the house of my aunt. Getting up from my bed, I noticed that my dress was soaked in my juices and I was completely smelling of my orgasm. Fu-k. I went in my heat.
The Alpha's lantern mate 10 My Mistress
Klaus Betrothed to someone who wasn’t your mate was the most painful thing, that’s what I used to think until I tracked the pain in her beautiful eyes when my father called her whore and we broke our kiss. Without saying a word to comfort Scarlett, I asked her to take a bath and walked to my father’s office where he was pacing here and there, distress and wrath plastered on his face. The moment our eyes locked, our wolves’ eyes flashed with golden hues and a loud growl escaped our mouths at the same time. “What are you doing, guys?” Jenna rushed over to the office, our voice must have astounded her. “Now, father and son are fighting because of that new girl who had joined our pack just yesterday,” my grandfather snarled, coming between us. My father turned his face to Jenna and avoided glaring at me. “You should go back to your room, Jenna.” He ordered in his Alpha voice and she had to obey it. The relationships didn’t matter in our pack but the power. “Why, dad? Just because I’
The Alpha's lantern mate 11 Does it hurt, my Alpha?
Scarlett “Are you ready, honey?” Aunt Rachel shouted at the top of her lungs from downstairs and the next moment, I found someone knocking on my door. I rolled my eyes before opening the door, assuming Sasha with her stupid friends. “Morning, Scar,” Chloe said cheekily before pulling me in a quick hug and I couldn’t help myself but frown. It’s been days since I went into my first heat and sneaked out of Klaus’s house and after two days, the heat receded and I started training, though I hid everything from Rachel and she didn't force me to tell her where I was that night. Chloe wasn’t enough so Avalon also joined us in a bone-crushing embrace and I looked at the roof ceilings and asked the Moon Goddess for mercy. These girls would kill me from the lack of air in my lungs. I pleaded with my eyes to Sasha to get them away from me, her friends have been fangirling me because everyone got to know that Klaus and I were friends. That’s what he told everyone because he was too ashamed t
The Alpha's lantern mate 12 Your Alpha sucks
Klaus “Does it hurt, my Alpha?” She smirked, choking my breath with her grip on my neck. I didn’t expect her to be that good at fighting but again, she was a Gamma so she must be. “I want my mate at any cost, you ass-ole,” Todd reprimanded me, glaring at me as if it was me who was keeping him away from our mate. Though I was unable to breathe, he was enjoying our mate’s touch and the way she squatted on my body, it did nothing but aroused me and excited Todd. “The nasty wolf,” rolling my eyes at him, I provoked him. “You should be helping me to nudge her off my body or she might kill us and if I get killed, you also won’t be alive to get her love.” Todd hopped, swishing his tail in the back of my mind where only I could see him and he could see me. “I won’t help you. She won’t kill you if you accept defeat,” he smirked and blocked me. “Wow. You motherfu-ker.” I cussed him. Scarlett got my attention back as she tightened her grip on my windpipe and I raised my hands simply in def

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
