All Chapters of Mating the Female Alpha: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Bernice’s POVIt’s been hours since Jessie had left. She was so upset at first when she found out that I was the female Alpha, but it seemed she understood by the end of my explanation.Landry had gone back to interrogate the vampire spy. She was being held in the dungeon holding cell. He didn’t want me anywhere near her, but I couldn’t help myself. I wanted to find out answers for myself.I went down the long corridor until I reached a set of stairs, leading down into the dungeon. I was surprised that there wasn’t anyone guarding the door that led into the dungeon, but I realized why as soon as I made it down the stairs.Landry was leaving the holding cell area; he sealed the door behind him with a couple of guards trailing after him. They all looked so serious and wary. Landry had blood splattered on what was once nice clothing, and blood stained his flesh as well. I frowned, staring around his disturbed face.He didn’t notice me at first, but once he did, he paused on the stairs.“

Bernice’s POVHow could they treat this like it wasn’t a big deal? Her own family. I had to keep chewing on my bottom lip to keep from screaming out in frustration. I turned away from Landy, muttering that I needed air before losing my mind. He didn’t stop me from leaving. But he would have if he knew where I was actually going.As soon as I ran outside, I shifted into my wolf. Julia broke free from me, her snow-white fur glistening under the rays of the sunlight. We ran as fast as lightning; just a white cloud blurred in the vision of those we passed.We were soon engulfed in the woods. The trees that passed us were nothing more than distorted figures.I wanted to avenge Tina’s death more than anything. But I also wanted to prove that I wasn’t a weak omega that Landry seems to think I am. He has it in his head that he must protect me at all costs. While I knew there were vampire spies out to get me and other strong warriors, that didn’t give him a right to personally shut me out.If

Bernice’s POV“When is this press conference?” I ask her, worry clear in my tone.“Most likely this evening,” she answers. “I’ll find out more details. Don’t worry. I can take care of everything.”Public speaking was not something I was good at doing; the thought made me feel sick.There was no guarantee that Landry was even going to let me speak during this conference. It would put me in the limelight. It could be dangerous.“What about my appearance? Someone will recognize me if I’m the center of attention,” I reminded her.“Leave that to me as well,” she says with a broad smile. “I can disguise you so nobody would think that you are the female Alpha.”I sighed, feeling defeated.‘Okay,” I finally say. “You win. I’ll speak at the press conference.”She clapped her hands together excitedly.“Oh, wonderful!” She cooed. “I’ll get stuff together for a makeover. I’ll see you in a couple of hours.”She left without another word.…Nightfall came quickly. Jessie returned after a couple of

Bernice’s POV“Her parents aren’t even here…” I whispered as Jessie continued speaking to the crowd. Everybody was there to pay their respects to Tina, except for her parents. “How could they not be here?”Landry had a cold stone expression as he stared at Jessie, focusing on her words and not at all that Tina’s parents weren’t there. Of course, they knew about the funeral.He was trying not to lose his temper; I could tell.It got me thinking, would my father bother to make my funeral once I finally die? Would there be a funeral for him to attend?The sickened feeling returned to my stomach; I wasn’t sure where this new wave of nausea was coming from. No doubt it was another symptom of the medication. It was my body’s way of telling me that I was going to die soon.Tina’s parents still didn’t arrive even after Tina’s body was fully in the ground and we returned to Jessie’s palace for the ceremony.I couldn’t help but admire Landry for his strong composure as he went around to each of

Landry’s POVLandry never thought he would see Cora’s face again. It’s been over a decade since she made her last appearance in his life. Her last departure, he thought would be the final time. But she shows up to Tina’s funeral, completely unannounced.He felt furious that she would randomly show up, making herself known to Bernice. But it was too late now; Bernice had met Cora. That was the last thing he wanted.He hoped she wouldn’t get the wrong idea.Cora and Landry were childhood friends; for a long while, his parents wanted them to get married. In fact, his mother already had preparations for their wedding before either of them could walk. Cora had it in her head for a long time that she was going to be the luna queen once they are of age.It was a never-ending battle between her and Tina.However, Landry never wanted either of them to be the luna queen.Cora was a little older tha
