All Chapters of The Alpha’s Accidental Mate : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Max I'm still angry about having crossed Veronica and the servant's path out in the garden. I love my sister but there are times when I hate her more than anyone else in the world. What's her problem? Why does she insist on doing such out of character things?What's she doing walking around the palace with the girl?It'll send the wrong message across. Doesn't she know that? How can she not know? Alaska will be here in a few days and I don't want there to be rumors about the servant girl being amongst our group. Alaska won't like the sound of that. Veronica is crossing all the lines and I—The glass in my hand shatters, interrupting my train of thought. I curse and let the shards fall on the table. I'm bleeding heavily in a matter of seconds, and I'm more annoyed than ever. I look around my room for something to tie around my hand. I find a clean shirt in my closet. It'll do. However, despite my annoyance, there's something else there lingering just beneath the surface. A sort of…fl

RayneThe Alpha looks a little dazed. It’s almost like he doesn’t see me at all. I stay close to the tree. I would look away and act like I didn’t see him if it wasn’t considered rude and disrespectful. He’s still my Alpha and I need to show him all the respect possible. A few moments pass and he’s starting to look as uncertain as I feel. Honestly, I don’t know why he hasn’t walked away in the opposite direction yet. It’s strange for him to be standing there and watching me. Where’s Denise anyway?I’m the first to look away. He stands there for a bit and then walks away. I’m relieved when he’s gone. I don’t usually know how to act around him. Two minutes later, Denise is back with the tea. We sit right under the tree with the soft grass beneath us and have some tea. “You seem shaken up,” she tells me. “Did something happen while I was away?”I shake my head. I see no point in sharing with her that the Alpha was here and that we only looked at each other. Oddly enough, I didn’t fee

RayneI'm still confused by my encounter with the Alpha. This is the last thing I was expecting. Him showing sympathy to me is so strange that I catch myself wondering if this is a part of some plan of his. Just the other day, he didn't want to look at my face. Now, he's apologizing. Apologizing. It's out of this world. I pace my bedroom floor. It's late at night and Denise won't be here until morning. I need to share this with her. I have to know what she thinks about this. Knowing her, I think she'll be happy about it, but maybe she'll have some solid advice for me. I don't think I should trust his good intentions. Why should I?So much thinking and pacing has tired me out. I lie in bed and focus on taking long and deep breaths. Eventually, my eyes feel a lot heavier and I fall asleep. In the morning, I’m awoken by Denise’s entrance. She really doesn’t care about the rules. I sit up and rub the sleep from my eyes and she puts the tray down and says, “I heard about what happened

MaxAlbert enters my room and I turn around to face him. He's drunk, as usual. He had his fill after the girl left the table, and didn't stop since. He frowns when he sees my expression and says, "Come now, Max. Isn't anyone allowed to have fun around here?""You call that fun?" "Why can't it be fun?""You kissed her," I say through my teeth. "Against her will. You can that fun? It was fun for you but it most certainly wasn't fun for her. I don't tolerate that kind of behavior, Albert. Let this be the last time I warn you.""Who says it wasn't fun for her?" he asks, challenging me. "Are you saying that because you genuinely think she wasn't enjoying yourself or because of your own selfish reasons?"I frown. "Selfish reasons?""You never told us that you invited her for dinner," he says, taking multiple steps to close the distance between us. He's belligerent now, which isn't surprising. He's always been this way. "Why is that?""Because I didn't," I say. "I never invited her for din

RayneMax and I stare at each other for some time, an understanding of some kind passing between the two of us. I'm the first to look away. Albert is giving a guard an order about having someone clean up the mess I made and thankfully didn't see the way our eyes locked just now. I don't know how to feel concerning this; it makes sense that he felt the scalding tea burning my chest. I've been feeling all his emotions. I wonder if he ever felt some of mine. What does this even mean?"I can't apologize enough for this," Albert says. He genuinely sounds and looks apologetic. "Are you sure you don't have to see a nurse?""I'm sure," I tell him. "I'm fine. I promise." The burning has passed yet the skin remains bright red. I have no doubt that this too will pass and I'll be as good as new. Besides, I have more important things to concern myself with. "I hope the noise didn't disturb you, Max," he says, turning to his friend. "I didn't see Rayne here coming."Max offers him a tight-lippe
