All Chapters of The Alpha King's Labyrinth: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Natalia POVMy eyes flutter open as the warm sunbeams shine through the open windows of my bedroom. Two weeks I have been here in the Fae Realm and have been treated with nothing but respect. They have made it clear that I am not a prisoner even though I am unable to return home. Every morning I reach my arms wide out to my sides and wish that Victor was here with me. My heart aches being so far away from my mate but I find it easier to manage the pain without the mark that used to sit upon my neck. I can only hope that Victor is not in too much pain while he waits for me to return from the Fae Realm. That is, if he even knows where I am.Tiny knocks rap on my bedroom door and I know exactly who they belong to. Throwing the blankets over my head, I hide under the covers and wait for the little creatures to find their way into my room. The large pink door creeks as they open it up, immediately giving them away. "Shh," Flora whispers to her brother. I can hear their little fee

Victor POVI pace the floor of my cottage until I have worn a whole in the old rug that lies on my floor. I know where Natalia is. I could smell her scent wafting through the cracks in Gerard's floor when I was at his house earlier. I tried to give him the opportunity to come clean but he did not. Margaret was there and I did not want to frighten her anymore than I needed to, so I decided that I would come back to Victor's today and demand my mate. But the only problem is that I don't want to have to kill Gerard because he has been my best friend and my right hand man. There has to be a good reason that he has my mate trapped in his basement of wolfsbane.Finally gaining enough courage to confront my friend I make my way back over to his house. This time I do not bother knocking on his door. Using my foot I kick his door off the hinges and it hits his floor with a loud thud. Gerard is sitting at his table with a look of fear and shock spread across his face. I lift my nose i

Natalia POV"Where is your mark?" Victor's voice booms through the forest. Esau and Margaret try to back away but Victor catches them out of the corner of his eyes. "You two do not move," his voice is cold and calculating. I look from Victor to Esau and Margaret. All three of them are waiting for an answer. Victor's eyes are burning with anger, while Esau and Margaret are watching with a calculated curiosity. I wrap my arms around Victor one more time, trying to soothe the rage that is building within him but he doesn't calm under my touch. In fact, he pulls my arms from around his neck and stares into my eyes with an intensity that makes me feel like hiding. "I made a deal with the Fae King," I say proudly with my head held high. "You did what?" All three of them yell at me at once. "I made a deal with the Fae King," I say slower this time as if I am speaking to children. "I am here to fix the mistake that YOU made," I say, poking Esau in the chest. Esau grits his tee

Natalia POV**Indicates a dream****I am sitting in darkness once again. Looking from my left to my right I can see nothing. Not even Adeline can help me see through the darkness. Trying to get an idea for where I am, I reach out with my other senses. Lifting my nose to the air I sniff the air around me but it is clean of any scent. Wiggling my toes I do not feel any grass or moss under my feet. Only a cold hard ground. Reaching out in front of me I try to take a few steps forward but I am rooted to the spot where I stand. Frustration grows in my chest as I try to figure out where I am. Suddenly a bright light appears as a tiny speck in front of me. Reaching out I try to grab the light but it must be far off in the distance. Slowly the light grows bigger and brighter until it is right in front of me illuminating the world around me. I finally recognize where I am. I have been here before. I am in the void between the world of the living and the afterlife. The light in

Natalia POVI have been awake for only two days and Alexander has barely left my side. When he is not attending to the Kingdom's needs he is at my side, waiting on me hand and foot. He reminds me of the Alexander from my old timeline. The one that would do anything to keep me happy. I am constantly having to remind myself of the monster that lies just behind his playful and caring mask. I cannot let myself be fooled once again by his fake affection for me. He will kill me as soon as he makes me his Queen. "Hello, My Love," Alexander says lovingly as he walks into my room without knocking. "Hello," I respond, choosing to ignore his affectionate nickname for me. "Back so soon, My King?" I am slightly exasperated by his constant presence. "I am just here to check on my future mate." There is a wide smile spread across his face as he speaks to me but I cannot help but shudder with disgust at his words. "I was hoping to get out of this room today," I ask for the second day
