All Chapters of Alpha of Alphas - The Lycan's Impossible Mate: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

“What happened? What did I do?” Kane asks while he helps me off the altar.“Not you, great king,” Agatha offers. “The gods. They saw your anguish, and tied your life force to hers.”I’m still a little too dazed to say anything. I’m not convinced the gods had anything to do with it. Kane’s magic has a tendency to get away from him, and he does things without even trying. “Is there a way he can undo it?” I ask.“Not if you want to live through this pregnancy, priestess.”“Stop calling me that. I’m not your priestess.” I turn to Kane. “You have to undo it. If I die, you die, and then our child will be all alone.”“No,” he says, and crosses his arms over his chest. “I can feel it now. How much the pup takes from your magic and life force. Goddess, he's strong. I don’t even know how you made it this far.”&ldqu

Kane’s POV After waking Willow for breakfast and making sure she eats, I go to my private office down the hall to the apartment. I want to be close in case she needs me, but it’s the last Saturday of the month, and it’s the day I usually see tribe members to hear what grievances they have, and I don’t want to receive them in my home. It’s a quiet day. The kingdom is in a lull after the battle and Vickus’s execution. For now, everyone’s somewhat content, and happy to return to something resembling normality. I’ve been busy getting everything in place, setting the kingdom up to return it to a state where I don’t need to do everything. All that’s left to do is reforming the council of elders, and then my father’s hearing which I’ve had to postpone because I don’t have the energy for it. “Come in, Jackson,” I say when I hear the Alpha’s approach outside my door. These last two weeks he’s been invaluable. With Glenn still being out of commission, I don’t know how I’d have gotten anything

Kane's POV I make it to the stairs leading up to my apartment before I sag to the floor, out of breath and unable to keep going. I sit on the bottom step with my arms on my knees, resting my head on my forearms and staring at the floor. It’s too much effort to get up and keep going. For the first time in many years, I’ve had to hire a helicopter pilot to fly me back home, and the walk from the helipad to my wing of the castle took me the better part of two hours instead of the usual ten minutes. “Kane?” Glenn kneels at my feet. “You okay, man?” “No,” I say, not even bothering to look up. “Pretty sure I’m dying.” “Alfred and Narcissa are here. They’re waiting up in your apartment.” “I know. They came back with me.” “Oh. It’s a rare day when a human can outrun Kane Madden.” “Hm. How are you doing?” When he speaks, I can imagine the way his mouth pulls down at the corner and the troubled look in his eyes. “Better, I suppose.” “Don’t lie to me. It doesn’t get better, you just lea

Kane has to help me in and out of the tub, which makes me feel helpless. Maybe if I could remember the last three weeks, could remember the pregnancy and my changing body, I wouldn't feel quit so inadequate. It all feels so surreal, almost like it’s happening to someone else.Nothing fits, so I find a pair of Kane’s boxers and one of his sweaters. I like the way his smell envelopes me, as if the soft shirt is hugging me with his scent. It’s comforting in a weird way, and I don’t want to take it off.He looks up and smiles at me when I walk into the living room. “Here,” he pats his knee.I don’t wait or argue with him. I waddle across the room and melt into his lap, sighing contently when he put his arms around me. I crave his closeness and protection, and for some unknown reason, I start rubbing against him, covering myself in his scent. I blush and stop. “Sorry,” I mumble.He wipes messy, wet hair from my face and pulls me in for a kiss. “It’s okay. It’s normal. You are, well, for la

Kane's POV I never thought something as simple as a walk could give me so much joy, but it does. Every morning after the ritual, Willow and I go downstairs where Tessa dutifully waits for us with a prepared basket. Having breakfast outside in the crisp, early morning, is becoming our own, private ritual, and we have already decided that we’ll continue doing it after the baby’s birth. After breakfast, I take Willow back to the apartment, then go down to the office to work. I am trying to get as much done as I can before she starts nesting. By that point, I won’t be able to leave her by herself anymore. “All the Alphas in your new kingdom have sworn fealty,” Jackson says. “What? I ask. “Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention.” Jackson shakes his head and laughs at me. “The last two weeks are the worst.” “Yeah,” I agree. “Did any Alphas abstain?” “No, my king. We’ll arrange a ceremony so they can swear their oaths in person after your son’s birth.” I nod in agreement. “What about Richar
