All Chapters of The Alpha's Heart - The Nightshade Pack Chronicles (Book 1): Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

GabriellaGabriella knew that something was seriously wrong the moment the border patrol informed her that Melody was back. They ran out to meet her and, from the looks of things, Melody had a tough journey back. Melody told them what happened on their way back to the main house and Gabriella couldn’t help but be furious at her friend for taking such a huge risk with her life! If the Wolf King had caught her, she would be dead!Matthew rushed over and pulled Melody into his arms and breathed in her scent and Gabriella laughed as a soft growl escaped from the poor guy. He had been pacing up and down the passage in the main house all morning while waiting to hear from Melody. He was driving all of them insane and Gabriella was relieved that her friend was back safely. Unfortunately, she told them that she had given a date for her fake wedding, which meant they didn’t have a lot of time to get their army together.Then there was also the alpha, who wouldn’t believe that the king was plan

MelodySince her wedding was a fake, she knew that it wouldn’t make any difference if she actually had sex with Matthew, but the reality of their situation did make its way through her thoughts and finally brought her back to her senses. This wouldn’t just be sex with Matthew. Matthew wasn’t just any guy. She pushed him away, breaking their heated kiss, and swam to the dock. Lifting herself out of the water, she took a seat and calmed her breathing. Matthew looked utterly confused and she could understand why, but she was trying to figure out how to explain how she was feeling toward him.“Do you love him?” His voice pushed its way through her thoughts and she burst out laughing.“NO! I could never love Eli. Matthew, it’s not that. You are probably going to laugh but it feels as if I’m cheating on you.” She sighed, feeling as if she wasn’t explaining it right, but that was the best way to explain it.“Uhm …” Matthew sat down beside her and she noticed how his gorgeously sculpted abdom

The Wolf King“Ah, Magnus, just the person I was looking for. Have you taken good care of our guest?” He smiled, but he honestly didn’t care what happened to the female wolf. The females were weak, or maybe that was where he had made his mistake in his approach to the fight with this pack. Female alphas were incredibly rare and, from what he heard, this pack had a female alpha. What was even more astonishing was that she had a mate that clearly wasn’t the alpha. What kind of male allowed a female to rule over him?“Magnus, what would you say if I told you, I could make you even stronger?” The king still wasn’t sure if it was the right idea, but surely, if he had only a couple of wolves that were as strong as he was … He smiled as Magnus’s face lit up. At the moment, everything was pretty unsure and he needed every advantage he could get his hands on. That meant he had no other choice but to have one or two or even three of his wolves turned into whatever it was he was. He took Magnus

Gabriella Melody portaled them into the first room and they looked around quickly before moving on to the next. Lucienne was leading a search party on the floor below them and Matthew was leading a group on the ground floor while their pack was busy setting off all sorts of explosions just outside the wall of the so-called castle. With each room they checked, Gabriella realized more and more that there were clearly no females in this awful place! She was growing more nervous by the minute that they wouldn’t find Zion, and if they didn’t … Melody told her not to think like that and Gabriella realized she had actually said it out loud. They portaled into the last room and Gabriella’s heart broke. She had hoped they would be the ones to find Zion. Melody looked around the room for a moment before opening the portal again and they stepped through right into the living room of Melody’s parents’ home. Her mom was waiting in anticipation and her face fell for a moment when Melody shook her

GabriellaGabriella stood on the balcony looking out at the forest below. There was something unholy brewing in the air, so much so that she could feel it. She wondered why the king suddenly felt this need to kill all of them and then she wondered who made the final decision that they should leave the homelands. It made sense, the wedding was off, but she never imagined that the magical people would just chase someone away. Something told her that the king had something to do with it, and she sighed.She was tired after a day of meetings with her elder council and some of the neighbouring alphas. It seemed her neighbours were divided about believing her. Even if she could show them proof, she was sure that those who were on the side of the king would stay on his side even when he came for their packs. She had moved back from the city just in time for a damn war, and the thought sparked an idea. Lucienne had just brought some coffee when she grabbed the mug, planted a kiss on his cheek
