The King Alpha’s Mate Fifty Four
“How so?” I queried. Nate took a seat back at the dining table as he cautiously eyed Maddie, before gripping my hips and pulling me down on his lap. Joe flashed Maddie half a smile, almost as if he was offering encouragement. An uneasy feeling grew in the pit of my stomach as I anxiously anticipated what was to come. “Alright.” Maddie begun, as she inhaled deeply. “As you all know, I don’t have a wolf.” I frowned as I listened to her, I couldn’t help but consider how off topic this conversation was heading. “The time will come, Maddie. Don’t worry.” Amber gave her a reassuring smile, but Maddie shook her head in response. “No, the time won’t ever come. You see, I’ll never get one because I’m not a werewolf.” I studied her face for a sign that she was joking, but all I found was a stern, determined expression. Nate’s grip around my waist tightened, as his jaw clenched. Archie’s eyes darted around the room, glancing at each of us in search for an indication of what was going on, bu

Nate’s POV After an exhaustingly long morning of training, I finally found my way back to my office. Since coming home from the Blue Crescent Pack, training had been full on. There wasn’t a chance in hell I would allow Serena’s plan to confront Skylar come into fruition if she wasn’t 100% ready. But frankly, I’d never known her take her training as seriously as she had been over the last couple of days. I was convinced I’d woken up in a parallel universe when she was readily awaiting her first training session at 6am yesterday morning. Getting her out of bed is a task at the best of times, yet there she was stood at the bedroom door impatiently tapping away as I was yet to wake up. I had to rub my eyes a ridiculous amount of times to double check I wasn’t imagining things. As much as her safety was an increasing concern of mine, I couldn’t deny how strong she was becoming. She was harnessing her powers beautifully, control was barely an issue at this point. However, as much as I l

Serena’s POV “So, that’s it? She’s left the academy?” I creased my forehead as I stared at Nate in disbelief. It sounded too good to be true. Nate pressed his lips together to form a line as he firmly nodded his head, just once. “Mrs White confirmed it. Alpha Cole picked her up an hour ago.” A rush of relief ran through me, as I let out a content sigh. I laced my fingers through Nate’s, momentarily basking in the joyous sensation from the sparks, before redirecting my attention to the footpath ahead. As the corners of my lips curved, Nate gently squeezed my hand. I could sense the relief he felt through the bond, this was a problem he could easily solve. Alexis wasn’t at the top of our problem list, but she was certainly up there and Nate had managed to fix it. I stared at the vast blue sky, whilst enjoying the sound of the wind speaking as it whistles through the towering trees. Only that, and the echo of the birds singing their favourite melody could be heard, as well as our fo

My mother sat across from me listening intently as I explained my dreams. With one leg folded across the other, she set her sole focus on me. Once I was finished, a wide smile grew on her lips. “Wow,” she gasped. “You’re more like your grandmother than I thought.” She chuckled as she shook her head absentmindedly. I drew my eyebrows together. “How do you mean?” My mothers gaze met mine as she let out a content sigh. “Your grandmother, Lily, well she used to experience the same thing. Slightly different in the sense that she would dream of circumstances which were yet to happen. Whereas yours seem to be more intuitive. As if they are guiding you to what could happen, rather than what will.” Nate pulled his lower lip between his teeth as he paced around his office. “So there is a possibility that what Serena’s sees could actually happen?” My mother nodded. “Yes, however it seems as though she has the dreams in order to prevent the outcome taking place or to alert her of a specific s

As we stood behind at a safe distance, Maddie scattered white candles along the edge of the cottage, forming a complete circle surrounding the home. We had offered to help her set up but she was convinced Jacques would somehow mess it up and it wouldn’t be fair to let us get involved, if he couldn’t. Knowing the man-child Jacques was, she probably wasn’t wrong. “I’m not the liability you all think I am,” Jacques groaned. “You’re all so dramatic.” Maddie shot him a look which read ‘really?’ as she joined our side. “You managed to drop the three candles you were holding on the way here multiple times.” She scoffed, to which he rolled his eyes and muttered a few choice words in response. “Anyway,” Nate spoke. “What next?” He asked. Maddie redirected her attention to the cottage and clicked her right fingers. Immediately, a bright spark erupted one by one on the candles set out, brightening the scene before us. “Okay, I’m going to need silence to concentrate,” she quickly shot Jacque

“Again.” My mother bellowed across the meadow. Her lips formed a fine line as she narrowed her eyes at me. I briefly scanned the crowd behind me, allowing my eyes to flicker between Nate, Maddie, Jacques and Amber. Nate’s lips curved as he flashed me a reassuring smile, melting my heart in an instance. Maddie wore an expression of sheer determination as she prepared for the next round. I could see the clocks ticking inside her mind, considering theories on how she could defy the magic. Jacques was swinging his hips from side to side, as he muttered the lyrics to an old George Michael song, completely uninterested in his surroundings. Every few moments you could hear Amber scolding him for his lack of interest, which went blatantly over his head. “You could get his attention another way.” Leia snorted. “I like your thinking.” I sniggered. I narrowed my eyes on an oblivious Jacques, who was happily singing away, as I allowed to heat to rise to the tip of my fingers. With an swift

A loud thud echoed as Nate pushed Danny into a chair across from his desk. I sat in Nate’s place, as I crossed my legs and shot Nate a warning glance. Nate lifted his hands in surrender as he backed away from an ever-growing concerned Danny. His eyebrows furrowed as sadness clouded his features. The colour had drained from his face as he met my gaze. I let out a quiet sigh as I intertwined my hands and placed them on the desk in front of me. “Danny,” I started. “How have you found it here?” His jaw momentarily hung agape as he appeared startled by my unexpected question. “It’s been fantastic, Luna. I’ve never tasted such wonderful food and slept in a bed before. You’ve taken great care of me, I’m forever in your debt.” I offered him a warm smile as I lent back in my chair. “Danny, can we trust you?” I asked. Danny’s eyes widened as hurt struck across his face. “Of course, Luna.” Nate strode across his office, joining my side, as he towered over Danny. His jawline was stern as he

I let out a heavy sigh as I rested my hands on the balcony railing, allowing the cool night air to wash over me. As I took in the view of the castle gardens, I couldn’t help but consider if I would still have this luxury in the days to come. As I fell deep into a spiral of ‘what if’s’, a pair of strong arms found their way around my waist whilst the delicious scent of vanilla consumed my senses. I rested my head against Nate’s firm chest, enjoying the close proximity between us. Moments like these could easily be taken for granted, I didn’t want to do that. I wanted every precious moment between us savoured before the battle came to a head. “Everything will work out, little mate.” He whispered in my ear before placing a soft, gentle kiss on my shoulder. Sparks danced off my skin from the connection, reminding us of the bond we shared. “I hope so.” I grumbled, half hoping Nate didn’t detect the layer of doubt in my tone. Nate sighed as he turned my body to face him, before slowly

Five years later…Laughter filled the room next door, followed by a hasty “shh!” by Nate.I shook my head in dismay, chuckling as I overheard the scene. I flipped the duvet off my legs, before shuffling my feet inside the slippers resting at my bedside.I tiptoed across the floorboards, desperately trying to not make a sound, before gently twisting the door to our bed chambers.I creeped along the hallway until I reached the door of our nursery. I quietly rested my head against the wooden frame, listening in to whatever was so amusing.“Ahhh!” Nate exclaimed, before being followed by a concerning loud thud. Giggles echoed thereafter, as footsteps of tiny feet could be heard pitter-pattering along the floorboards.Choosing to go with the element of surprise, I abruptly flung open the door before me. Suddenly, three pairs of alarmed eyes cast over me as they realised they’d been caught in the act.I folded my arms across my chest, pretending to be furious at what I had found. “Well well

“You’re pregnant?” Amber squealed, as she jumped up and down in excitement. “With a baby?” Terror overlooked Archie’s face, he was never much a kid person. “This is so exciting!” Maddie exclaimed, clapping her hands together repeatedly. I laughed loudly at each other their reactions, before placing my hand on Archie’s shoulder. “Yes, Archie. With a baby.” His eyes widened. “Oh goddess.” He muttered, before his eyes darted to the floor. Anyone would think it was him who was having a pup. “Could this day get any more special?” Maddie welled up beside me, wafting her hand against her face in order to protect her makeup. I gleamed as looked at each of my best friends, each so beautiful in their own way. We’d already faced so many challenges together and this would be another to add to the list. Maddie was right, today truly couldn’t become any more special. As Maddie and Amber donned their pale blue bridesmaid dresses, the realty of my future started to set in. This is what we had

Nate had insisted I went to see the nurse this morning, after experiencing continuous dizzy spells and waves of nausea since yesterday evening. I repeatedly told him I’d more than likely eaten something funny, but he wouldn’t settle with that reason. So after a huff and a puff, I stripped off my stubborn boots and finally agreed to see the nurse. Frankly, I think he needed the distraction anyway. So as Nate paced around the nurse’s office anxiously awaiting my blood results, I laid awkwardly on the hospital bed twiddling my fingers, trying not to bring the new hit of nausea I was suffering from to his attention. As the brunette nurse, I now knew was named Mary, reentered her office Nate threw his hands in the air with an exasperated sigh. “Finally!” He muttered, as he took his place back by my side. I rolled my eyes at his dramatics, choosing to ignore his impatience, even though we’d only be waiting approximately 6 minutes. I’d learnt to pick my battles with Nate, some comments j

It had been a draining couple of days since we finally revealed the truth. Questions had been coming at me from every possible direction from those trying to understand what being a hybrid truly meant, which typically resulted in me using some form of magic to demonstrate my capabilities. But the excitement was wearing down, as a new daunting reality started to set in. One that would leave an everlasting effect on my beloved mate. William’s execution day. After going back and forth over whether Nate had made the correct decision, he ultimately decided that he had. In his eyes, he knew it wasn’t right for his brother to escape the consequences another werewolf who had committed the same crimes would receive. So today was the day. Nate would finally say goodbye to his brother once and for all. But that wasn’t the only big event happening today. This morning I would be escorting my mother back to Midsummer, where she will temporarily take control of the throne until I have settled i

Serena’s POVNate tangled the ends of my hair around the tips of his fingers, as he gazed out our chamber’s window absentmindedly. The responsibility of choosing an appropriate punishment for his own brother, well it was never something he had expected to do.This time yesterday he had been expecting a warm family reunion once he had saved William from what he believed was a threat. Who could have guessed William was the real threat.He had the weight of the world on his shoulders. Other than support him in his decision, there wasn’t much I could do. Nate had to figure this one out on his own. Whatever decision he made, I’d stand by him.With a heavy sigh, he turned his head against the pillow and met my gaze. His eyes were sunken, dulled by the burden he bared. “I know what I’m going to do.” His lips formed a tight line.I gently placed my palm on his cheek, offering physical support. “Whatever it is, I’ll be right behind you.”His pupils dilated as a warm smile spread across his lip

Third Person’s POV Serena sobbed uncontrollably as she held her mate’s lifeless body, refusing to accept the fate she’d been handed. She pulled him in closer, stroking the side of his cheek as the tears from her weeps fell onto him one by one. She locked eyes with her mates so called brother. Anger seethed through her, bubbling in her veins every millisecond longer she watched Nate’s killer. “How could you do this?” She spat, venom laced in her voice. William sighed as his eyes darted to the ceiling. “Do you have any idea what it was like? Living in his shadow? Always Nate this, Nate that. He was so bloody perfect, I couldn’t possibly compare.” He gritted through his teeth as he relived the memories. William had always been jealous of the attention Nate had received. He had tried his very best to be the perfect prince for his father, putting in extra hours of combat training and studying until early hours of the morning, learning the perfect etiquette and the responsibilities bei
The King Alpha’s Mate Sixty Four
Third Person’s POV One by one the warriors were discreetly taken out. However, the more that went missing, the more likely it was for the remaining warriors to notice. They were running out of time, it wouldn’t take much longer for their presence to be revealed. It wasn’t the warriors noticing that would be the issue, it was the beckoning call they were likely to make to Skylar. As the bodies piled up behind the abandoned house, Maddie watched from afar as she waited for a signal or saw some form of distress. Hidden behind a overgrown hedge, neck deep in the woods, she desperately tried to remain as quiet as she could. She reminded herself repetitively of all that not only she was capable of, but the loved ones she was watching eliminate the threat. Whilst she was a powerful witch, she’d never actually had to use her powers in a fight before. So her hesitation… well, it was a little understandable. Just as the men set out to remove the final four warriors, one of them caught a gl

“Are you ready?” Nate asked, his voice was mellifluous and calm, slowly easing away my anxieties.He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to him. His green emeralds bored into mine, flickering with determination.A comforting smile crept onto his lips, reminding me of his certainty. I nodded my head firmly, allowing the fire within the take the reign. “I’m ready.” I demanded.He quickly enveloped me into a tight hug, before capturing my cheeks in his palms and placing a hard, passionate kiss on my lips.This is what I was fighting for.“Go get her, baby girl. Remember, I’ll be close by the entire time. You aren’t doing this alone, we’re a team.” He promised, before softly placing his lips on my forehead one final time.“Leia, do your worst.” His voice echoed in my mind.“You don’t have to ask me twice.” She snorted, resulting in a laugh erupting from Nate.“I didn’t doubt it.” He confirmed. “Okay, update me as often as you can.”I glanced longingly at him once last time
The King Alpha’s Mate Sixty Two
“Alright.” Nate sighed as he released his grip around my waist. “But keep your mind link open so I can have regular updates.” He raised his brows as he narrowed his eyes at me. I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at him, as I shook my head ever-so-slightly. “Like I would ever shut you out, wolfie.” I rummaged my fingers through his raven locks, before rising to my feet and offering him a final smile as I left the room and headed toward the academy dorms. “What do you think she looks like?” Leia blurted out suddenly as I dragged my feet against the gravel pathway. “Who?” I asked, knowing she couldn’t be asking about Betty. We’d unfortunately had the luxury of seeing her morbid face every day for the last few months. I couldn’t help but wonder what Nate had planned for her, she may have betrayed us but at the end of it all, she was still his family. Much to his dismay, whether he chooses to acknowledge that or not. “Who else? The wicked witch of the west.” Leia grumbled. I let out a l
