All Chapters of My Brother Is My Mate: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Alexis's POV The soft rustling sound of curtains being drawn aside, letting in the early morning light woke me up. I opened my eyes slowly, my heart sinking as I looked around hoping I was back to my parent's house. This room was different from my room back at home. The room felt suffocating. The ceiling was high, the furniture too fancy and the tapestries too elaborate. I have been here for what felt like forever. I still couldn't leave the room. Every day felt the same, except for when my personal maid, Elara, came and went. She wasn't really saying much, probably feeling Alpha Kane might find out. Elara was like a puzzle to me. She was kind and reserved. Also very polite and gentle. She doesn't talk much and won't go deep when asked questions. I can't help but wonder why and if she chose to be here or forced to be here.“Good morning, Miss Alexis,” Elara said, as she opened the windows. The sunlight streamed into the room, casting a long shadow on the polished floor. “It’s a be

Alexis's POV I wanted to laugh and ask her if I looked like I cared but I wasn’t interested in whatever this was.“What do you want?” I asked her with a straight face.The lady walked closer, her lips curling into a mocking smile. “What do I want? Oh, nothing much. Just to remind you of your place.” She said.I could feel my anger rising. I knew she was trying to provoke me and to mark her territory but I wasn’t about to give her the satisfaction. I was here against my wish.“I know my place,” I said. “I’m a prisoner in this pack.”She laughed. “You’re right. You’re a prisoner. And don’t you forget it.”“Do well to remember, Alpha Kane is mine.” She added. “I don't want him,” I said with disgust. “I know girls like you.” I continued. “You fight dirty for men that are not interested in committing to you and you try to match territories.” “Alpha isn't worth the trouble. You're just desperate.” I hissed at her. “You stupid bitch.” She fumed.Before I could respond, she stepped forwa

Alexis's POV I was lying down on my bed, reading a book Elara had brought for me from the Library when I heard a knock on my door. I opened up and the guard told me Alpha Kane had asked for my presence immediately. I was surprised. It was late at night already, and I had already settled into my bed trying to read a book to make me sleep. So, when they knocked on the door and told me that Alpha Kane had summoned me, my heart sank. And couldn't help but ask myself. What could he possibly want with me at this hour?I tried to push hard to push away the rising fear as they led me through the dimly lit hallways. The mansion was silent, the kind of silence that made every footstep echo loudly which was only making me feel more tense from my stomach. By the time we reached his quarters, my hands were trembling, my mind racing with questions of why he would summon me late at night. I tried to push my fear aside. I never want to see me fear him even though I know I fear what he could do to me

Alexis's POVMy muscles ached from the long scrubbing, and the pain of yesterday’s punishment still lingered on my back. I was on my way back, to find the Head Omega and tell her that I had finished when I saw Elara and she had walked towards me. She said she was coming to get me. When she said the words, the trauma of yesterday night hit me back. I was scared and I wondered why she was coming to get me. I hadn’t seen her all morning, she had always woken me up, prepared my bath and picked out a dress for me. When I heard the knock on my door, I thought it was Elara but the person didn't come in, it was then I knew it wasn't Elara. I wondered why she hadn't come this morning and was she forbidden to attend to me after helping me last night.“I was just coming to get you,” she said, “It’s time for lunch.”“Lunch?” I asked. “But I haven’t…”“I know. They told me not to attend to you this morning,” she explained. “I would have come earlier, but I was instructed to stay away and assign

Alexis's POV I left the dungeon feeling a heavy weight on my chest. My hands were still trembling and my heart was pounding in my chest. Each step I took back to my room was heavy, my feet dragging as if I were moving through snow. The memory of the guard’s lifeless body, his throat being slashed and blood rushing out was repeatedly playing in my mind and I couldn’t shake it off. When I finally reached my room, I barely made it to the bed before collapsing on it. I didn’t bother with the covers or try to get comfortable, I just lay there, staring up at the ceiling, trying to process everything I had just witnessed even the images kept replaying in my mind, Alpha Kane’s cold eyes without pity in it, the sound of the whip and the guard’s cries for mercy.The tears came down from my eyes. It was hot and uncontrollable. I put my face into the pillow as I sob into it. There was no one to comfort. I have been damned into this hell. I cried until there were no more tears left for me to cr
