All Chapters of Mated To The Alpha: Fated To The Lycan King : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Kaiden's POVI would have preferred to do the opposite of helping her close up her dress. On more than one occasion, my fingers brushed the smooth skin of her back, and I would hear her nearly gasp from the contact. It didn't help that my wolf just couldn't get enough of her and kept trying to get a lot closer to her than I felt she would be comfortable with.I finished tying the ‘lace’ of her dress, securing it with a right knot. I had seen too much of her skin to let her risk exposing it to anyone else. Was it a childish notion? Yes.Did I care? No.Rayne turned around to face me, testing out the dress. She resembled a doll in it. Pride welled up inside of me. I had made the right choice by picking this outfit for her. Earlier, when I had been driving through the town at the other edge of our pack borders, I had caught sight of it in a dress shop. The moment I had seen it, Rayne had come to mind. With her beautiful green eyes, the color would have suited her perfectly.“You're th

Rayne's POVThe festival got off to an exciting start.First off, the people didn't come to mess around. They dressed in beautiful clothes, wearing smiles on their faces and holding tightly to friends and family with an eagerness that had neither a beginning or an end. Fabrics or reds, blues, yellows and greens swirled all round, blessing the world with the magic of colors and celebration. Children ran about, chasing themselves while excited squeals flew out of their mouths. Overhead, the small tents had been set up perfectly, with waterproof material draped over them so that people could sit underneath, although most people preferred to sit outside them on the mats and watch the stars.At the center of it all rose a dancing fire that some people danced around. They changed a song as they all moved in sync, waving their hands and swinging their bodies in tune with the beating drums and harmonious flutes. I watched in blatant awe of their splendor, wanting nothing more than to kick o

Rayne's POVThe loud silence nearly deafened me. Save for the sounds of my foot trampling leaves underfoot, I couldn't hear much. The eerie atmosphere sent shivers up my spine, eliciting goosebumps along my skin.I hadn't noticed the light chill in the air that evening earlier, but now that there was no longer a large roaring fire to keep me warm, the chill no longer had any barriers. Nevertheless, I had a job to do, and I wouldn't leave until I at least found that boy's sister.I sniffed the air, not quite sure what to expect. Tinges of grass, wet earth, and leaves permeated my senses, and somehow they beckoned me closer, like invisible fingers pointing me to the way. I followed them, still cautious, but knowing that since I had taken the initial risk, I couldn't turn around and give up now.The path I followed took me further into the quiet woods with every step I took. Occasionally I would hear a sound afar off, like someone shouting or loud thudding, but it never came close enough

Rayne's POVThe most important thing to me after saving that little girl, was the fact that I had also been able to incapacitate the rogue I had also met.Most of the fight had been blurry, but I knew at one point, I managed to bite into its neck again, sinking my teeth deep until I finally punctured an artery. It had been the best course of action for me to take, because I didn't have the strength to actually fight it off, but I had the speed to dodge it long enough to deal another targeted bite to its neck. I came up with the idea soon after I realized that trying to fight it head on wouldn't have gotten me anywhere, and I couldn't save the little girl if I was dead.The only thing I didn't foresee was that the rogue wouldn't be weakened immediately. After the last bite I gave it, it threw me off it again, and slashed into my back. Before I blacked out from the pain, I had rushed to the little girl who had somehow dropped from the tree, and shielded her with my body for fear that

Rayne's POVEven though the crisis had been averted from Mysticrock, an air of melancholy still remained, and it would probably be a while before it faded away. Although there had only been one casualty—the man that I had seen in the forest—meny other had still gotten injured by the rogues despite best efforts. The person I actually pitted the most was Bradford. Every Time I saw him, he looked completely forlorn and stressed out. I knew that he had something going on with Sal, but I didn't know how deep it ran until now. Every few hours he went out to search for anything that could lead him to Sal, anything at all. My heart went out to him because I also wanted to do something to help.Which was why I put in all my energy in the interrogation we prepared for the rogue. I just hoped that the beast still had an understanding of basic English because if it had already gotten to the point where it now fed on its own kin, it was probably too far gone.He had been kept in the lower cellars
