Lahat ng Kabanata ng Alpha Son's Fated But Rejected Mate(A Cursed Luna): Kabanata 91 - Kabanata 100

 The three of us made our way back to the basement, where Tony, Danielle, and Billy had gathered. Tony had improved since we left, now sitting up and looking more like himself.Tony's initial smile quickly faded as he asked, "What happened?"Star, our witch, responded sharply, "You gave me vampire blood, that's what happened."Tony defended himself, "No, I got the blood from Harold himself. He handed it to me."Star pressed, "Did you watch him draw the blood from his vein?"Tony's shoulders slumped as he admitted, "No."Star criticized, "Such an amateur mistake, Tony."I interjected bitterly, "Now I know why him and my mom got along so well."Star's frustration was evident as she continued, "So now the shunned prince knows about his alpha kid, and he knows there's a witch willing to use blood magic against him? Are you trying to get all of us killed?"I added, "For once, I'd like something to go right."

Advancing through the dimly-lit forest toward Wolf Bay, it took a monumental effort to keep moving forward. Every fiber of my being begged me to turn back. I had been on my feet all day, resisting the magnetic pull of my mate.It felt as though I was torn in two, engaged in a battle between my soul and my body. The conflict threatened to rend me apart, my soul yearning to reunite with her, the woman who drove me to madness and yet was the very reason I still breathed. I craved her presence as I did air.I couldn't pinpoint when or how I had allowed this bond to completely consume me, but it was irrelevant now. All that remained was to stake my claim on her.The moment I sealed this bond, felt our souls merge, the world would right itself. The mark she bore meant nothing; she would submit to me, as was her destiny.Returning to Wolf Bay empty-handed would surely enrage my father. He had never wanted this for me, but he couldn't comprehend the power of the mating bond. It ran deeper tha

In the few hours since Harold's arrival, my thoughts had extended beyond the plan to overthrow the shifter king. My primary concern had become Ray, my mate. A gnawing unease gripped my stomach as he repeatedly intruded upon my consciousness.My emotions were a tumultuous mess. One moment, I fretted about his safe return to Wolf Bay, and the next, I wished he'd meet his demise before reaching here. It was a maddening cycle. How much longer would I have to endure the unbreakable bond between us? Just when it seemed we were making progress in severing it, something else would thwart our efforts.Then there was Tony. For now, I allowed myself some solace in his recovery and safety, pushing everything else between us aside. With my father's sudden appearance and the persistent presence of my mate in my thoughts, there was little room for anything else. However, I couldn't help but acknowledge that my feelings for Tony were evolving into something far more intricate than I initially believe

Many would rather see an heir to prevent chaos. I think that's the sole reason his council convinced him to spare my life rather than executing me. Technically, they could bring me in to prevent a war.""I'm breaking the claim when this is over," I declared."You won't have to," Harold assured."I barely even want to be an alpha. You think I want to be queen?" I shook my head."Good thing he's the firstborn," Harold said, pointing to Malcom.All the color drained from Malcom's face, and it was evident he wasn't thrilled with the idea of being in line for the throne either."How about that?" Danielle chimed in. "All these years, we've been friends with a prince.""I've got to get my throne first," Harold noted."If this is going to be the headquarters for the rebellion, my prices are going up," Star said."I'll need a resident witch," Harold offered."Is that an official job offer?""You'll have protection, power, money..." Harold let the words hang in the air.Star pursed her lips and

 After inhaling deeply, she shut her eyes. I mimicked her, thinking it wise not to observe. My hands began to tingle, presumably as the magic surged through me. I sensed it coursing up my arms and down my spine.Star muttered something under her breath, prompting me to sneak a peek with one eye. Her lips moved slowly, her brow furrowed in intense concentration.I clamped my eyes shut and concentrated on staying calm. There was a possibility that I was making a terrible mistake, but desperation often led us to risky actions. I feared the binding to Ray more than I feared Star's witchcraft.The tingling sensation intensified, bordering on painful. I winced, resisting the urge to withdraw my hands. Then, suddenly, the sensation vanished. I opened my eyes. "Is it over?"Star met my gaze and lowered her hands. "That's the best I can do. I don't think it's permanent. The bond is stronger than I expected, but it should give you a brief respite."
