All Chapters of The King Alpha’s Mate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Shit, what do we do now? I looked at Nate, who seemed to be amused by my panic. Call me a prude but I didn’t really want my parents walking in on me groping the King. “Serena, relax. Sophia and John are out there, occupying your parents” Nate walked towards me and ran his hands down my arms, trying to soothe me. “Who the hell are Sophia and John?!” He had told me their names like they were supposed to mean something. Nate laughed. “They are two warriors from the Royal Court, they are also Joe’s parents”. I began to realise I had only ever met one member of Nate’s pack, Miss White. “Why are they out there?” I had only ever seen Nate on his own or with academy faculty. I started to wonder why this King never had his advisors around. “Royal Pack warriors are always around. You just never see them. Clearly you have tunnel vision” Nate winked at me, before turning to the shower. I suddenly realised I hadn’t responded to my p

My mothers eyes met mine, as she began to tell her story. “Do you remember the young girl I used to tell you about?” My mothers tone sounded hopeful. I thought back to the stories of the fae my mum told me as a child, remembering the story of an 19 year old girl named Clarissa. Clarissa was the princess of the fae island, Midsummer, and she was next in line for the throne. Midsummer was in the north of the fae realm and often found itself clashing with Betwixt. The Queen’s of the islands could never agree with how the realm should be governed and things often got heated between the pair. The Queen of Midsummer believed in equality and she didn’t believe in ranks. She also didn’t agree with the war between the werewolves, believing fae and wolves should be able to live peacefully and even mate, if they choose too. However, the Queen of Betwixt believed fae should be ranked by the abilities they possess. She was also determined the finish her mother’s, Amoura, fight with

“I absolutely am” I retort, attempting to shut my door behind me. Nate’s eyes narrowed at me, as his face filled with anger. He quickly places his bear-sized hand on the door, halting the door from closing. He takes a step closer, challenging me. His proximity created an intimidating but intimate feeling between us. I feel my body tense up being so close to him. Nate shot me a warning look. “Get changed, now”. His voice was quiet but demanding. The nerve of this man caused me to automatically roll my eyes. Conscious of Maddie sleeping only metres away, I turned to him. “Nate, get a grip. Maddie is sleeping, I’m not getting changed” and with that, I forced the door shut. Sooner or later he had to learn I wouldn’t just submit to his orders. His eyebrows furrow at me. “Let’s go.” I said, before practically skipping down the corridor. I should probably reign in my enthusiasm for winning the challenge between Nate and I. I could faintly hear John somew

I knocked on Nate’s door, before entering. He was sat lent back in his chair, watching me sheepishly walk into the room. His eyebrows were raised as he wore an amused expression. I rolled my eyes. “Wipe that look off your face”. “Really, princess? I leave you alone for-” he looked down at his watch, checking the time “35 minutes? Did you miss me already?” He taunted. I scoffed. “That cousin of-” “Second cousin” Nate corrected. “Whatever. I’m convinced she’s satan in disguise”. I proclaimed. Nate sighed. “What did she do this time?” Nate rubbed his forehead as he lent forward. “She screamed in a young girls face, demanding that she moved so Betty could sit her ‘Royal’ ass down”. As the words left my mouth, they sounded almost unbelievable. “Nate, the girl looked no older than 14 and she was all alone. And not to bring up an obvious point, but this isn’t the first time Betty has pulled a stunt like this. You only have to mention her name to the school students to

“Okay S, I want you to close your eyes” my mother directed. I did as she told me and stood in the centre of the clearing with my eyes closed. “Clear your mind” she told me. I allowed my mind to go blank for a few moments, observing nothing but darkness in front of me. Only, it wasn’t long before my worries soon fought their way back into my conscience. The realisation of why I was stood in the beautiful setting now had my attention. I was trying to learn how to control my abilities, but just under two weeks ago I didn’t even know I possessed such abilities and now, what? I was supposed to learn how to harness them without truly understanding what they were? You can’t learn to do something you don’t know is possible? Hell, two weeks ago my mother was human! Well, she wasn’t.. but she was! To me, at least. I just can’t fathom how much has changed. “You aren’t focussing” my mother warned, interrupting my mental spiral. “Because there is too much to fo
