All Chapters of Mated To The Alpha: Fated To The Lycan King : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Kaiden's POVBlue, serene, and clear. The river that Savannah and I had been going to visit since we were kids still held on to its beauty. Now, we were both adults, and its charm still held true.Beautiful fish swam underneath the surface, too beautiful for words. We had agreed long ago that because we had found this place together, we would protect it and the lives that it kept. Even though we technically came here to fish, we never actually hurt them; rather, after we caught them, we let them go. Also, we made sure that our fishing hooks were free of harmful barbs that could hurt the fish. It had been three days since the news of Rayne's disappearance circulated all around. More than one pack representative from other circles had reached out to me concerning the issue, as though I held the answers to the things going on in Oceanpearl. Sure, we were allies, and Reynolds now stood in as the second strongest Alpha after me. Those packs could have reached out to him for clarification,

Rayne's POVI related all the information I had to Kaiden. His rapt attention to me as I spoke, gave me the strength I needed to move through the memories. If I had simply returned to Mysticrock, would anyone even have cared enough to ask me what I had been through? After I finished speaking, silence descended for a little while as he allowed my words to settle around us. Kaiden’s chin rested on his hand, and his eyes were in a different dimension of thought. His hair still had the same wavy quality, but it appeared a little longer than the last time I saw it. Black ink ran up his arm, into his shirt, and finally stopped at the middle of his neck. I never really noticed it before, but now that I did, I wanted to see more of it. What did it symbolize?“So you're telling me you were attacked by five rogues, out of the blue?” he asked, focusing on me again. His eyes were filled with so much concern. “Yes.”He leaned back in his chair, nodding to himself. “Do you know that rogues are u

Rayne's POV“I can't imagine what you must have been through back there, alone, and scared. Not knowing if you would live or die.” Savannah said, handing me a glass of water to drink. We both sat in her room, atop her soft, welcoming bed. She placed her own glass by the bedside table and swiftly let her blonde hair loose in one motion. The thick waves tumbled down her back, shiny and enchanting. I reached out to touch it before I could stop myself.“It's like fresh silk,” I said. “Very beautiful.”She stiffened, watching me in silence. I took it as a sign of her discomfort, so I pulled away and cleared my throat awkwardly. “I'm sorry.”“No, no. It's alright.” She ran her hand through her hair. “You wouldn't believe all the things I have to do in order to get my hair looking like this. It gets exhausting, but my mother always told me that beauty is pain.” She chuckled, lifting her shoulders in a quick shrug.I touched my own hair. It had been so long since I went to a salon to get a f

Rayne's POVAfter breakfast ended, I knew that I had to speak with Kaiden. The decision was against my better judgment, but I needed to speak to him regarding the rogues. I had little say in the whole alliance with Oceanpearl now, but I could at least still keep up with the promises that I had made. Thankfully, Savannah had somewhere to be, and Bradford just vanished like some sort of shadow. This gave us the space we needed.Kaiden looked around the dining hall, downing the last drops of wine in his cup. “We have some things to discuss,” I said quietly. Some omegas had come to pick up the plates we used to eat. One came so close to me that I could smell the uneasiness flowing off her in waves. I looked up to get a look at her face, but she quickly turned around at the same time, and dashed out of the hall, barely holding on to the plates in her hand. The others followed suit shortly after, leaving just Kaiden and I in the hall.“Let's go someplace more quiet,” he said, rising to h

Rayne's POVDays passed by without many events to note, until the day of the Summer Moon Festival finally arrived. In the last conversation we'd had, Kaiden didn't give me a complete answer regarding us catching a rogue so that I could test out some of my theories on it. It was a dangerous plan, no doubt, but I had a thought that I felt could be the answer to everything.The question was how we would be able to get one subdued long enough to capture it. And also doing so without anyone getting hurt. I woke up that day with a fresh mind ready to take on whatever the sky had to offer. I couldn't exactly place my fingers on what exactly made me a little excited, but a spring had been added to my steps. I could already tell the things that would happen in the morning, from breakfast, to a little outside time, to even collecting a little sunlight in the gardens.The clothes Savannah had given out to me were in such perfect condition that I felt she may not even have worn them at all.
