All Chapters of The Alpha's Mate (Book 1: Finding His Luna): Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Viktor's Point of ViewI was vexed that I couldn't sleep in my bed, but I had put Aláine there. I didn't trust her yet, but it wouldn't be long. Very soon, she would mine.Aláine would shift for the first time, and I would be there to see it, to help her through the pain. Together, we would enter her new world. It was so exciting, and the thought of having my new mate as beautiful as her gave me such a thrill. The sheer thought of it made me hard.Now, it was time for Aláine's breakfast. I had to withhold food yesterday because she was so unreasonable, even though Olivier had made such a nice meal for her. I got him to cook another meal in hopes that she would be much better behaved than earlier."I brought you some food, my love," I said to her."I am not your love!" Aláine replied.I tried hard to ignore her rudeness and reminded her gently by saying, "Ahhh, but you will be. Come get your food, my love. You must be hungry. You haven't eaten for about two days and need your energy fo

Aláine's Point of View Later that night From the bed, I could make out the perfect glowing orb in the sky that signified the full moon. The moon's brilliant white juxtaposed against mottled greys drowned out any starlight leaving the sky various shades of the darkest blue I'd ever seen. Its beauty was calling to something deep inside me, and my body responded without thought or control. I felt like I was in a sort of trance. My arms pulled against the cuffs that shackled me to the bed. Every part of my body felt uncomfortable and strange. It was not long before the pain started, and I tried so hard not to cry out but failed. Suddenly, I felt one of the bones in my legs snap, and my cries became screams. "Kristof, my mate!" I screamed in my mind. "Where are you? I need you! You said you'd be here with me! Kristof!" The other screams brought Viktor running into the room. "Well, well, well," he drawled. "Fuck off, you mongrel!" I screamed back at him, but he didn't leave. More b

Olivier's Point of View It was dark now, and a bright full moon was peeking through the cloud cover. It didn't actually matter if it were cloudy or not, for it was a full moon regardless. The effects would be the same. If any human had been turned into a werewolf, a full moon would be the first night they would shift. After that, a werewolf could change at will, with practise, of course. Tonight would be Aláine's first shift. Unfortunately for her, it would be here with Viktor and not with her real mate. I don't care what Viktor says; Kristof is her mate, not him. "Aaaahhhhhh!!!!!!" It came from upstairs. Viktor came running out of his office, through the hallway, and upstairs towards Aláine's room. I knew that she had started her shift. It would be a while before she had completely shifted, but it would be painful. It always was the first time. Deep down, I felt worried for her. I had been from the moment we'd taken her. That worry had just cemented when I saw how Viktor was ar

Viktor's Point of View Aláine growled and moved around the bed toward me. She was wobbly on her legs. I was not surprised as she had never been a Lycan or wolf before, which was different from walking as a human. "You are not my mate!" she shrieked again. "Tonight, you die!" She continued walking toward me, still unsteadily, but there was no mistaking her intent. It was all going wrong. What had I done? It suddenly hit me. My wolf was right; I have made a grave error. Aláine was not a standard size or colour for a werewolf. She was a royal. How a human became royalty was beyond me. When she and Kristof mated, the mating process must have done something to her. Whatever it was, I doubted I could change who she was mated to. Now to top it off, Aláine was not merely angry; she was enraged. As unsteady on her legs as she was, she was still advancing toward me. I had no doubt that if she caught me, she would attempt to kill me. Aláine might be a brand new wolf with the coordination of

Kristof's Point of ViewIt was a surprise when Olivier turned up and basically surrendered to us. I wasn't sure what to do with him, but I had him stay back in chains and under guard while we approached the house. The information he gave us helped us immensely. Thanks to him, we knew exactly how many men Viktor had and where they were. We also now knew the location of the bedroom where he kept Aláine. This would make it quicker to get to her. I could feel her pain, but I knew she hadn't shifted just yet. Nevertheless, it wouldn't be long. It also wouldn't be long until I was reunited with my love. I didn't feel whole without her.After shifting to Lycan form and fanning out around the house, we moved forward reasonably quickly. Before we had reached the doors, I could smell and sense her. She had just shifted. From what my Lycan could detect, she had transformed straight to Lycan form herself. That didn't happen that often unless a person was under duress or hardship. I guess Aláine
