All Chapters of Mated To The Alpha: Fated To The Lycan King : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Sal’s POVFor three days I had been blindfolded, carried around like a meat sack, and kicked every once in a while. For three days I haven't been allowed to do anything but lie on the ground, drink water, and use the restroom. For three days I have done nothing but think about the different ways that I could escape from these captors and find my way back home.It didn't take long after my capture for me to realise that everything that was planned and it wasn't just some random rogue attack like the one we had been planning. No. This one had been very well thought out, but badly executed.After the rogue had snatched me away from Bradford like I was some kind of candy bar it had been searching for, the next few moments that followed had been so blurry. I wanted to shift and escape, but before I could do that, a tree branch had whacked my head, sending me into a sweet sleep I didn't desire nor require.By the time I had emerged from my slumber, a blindfold had already been placed over m

Rayne's POVSomething about the priestess’ face reminded me of a clear white pebble. The kind that you found beside a rushing river; smooth and shiny, but reeking with the scent of hardened water and years of immobility. Placid, but not so much that nothing about it interested you anymore, in fact, that was the very thing that made you wonder how long it had taken for it to become so perfect. How it had lost its edges and sharp points to become this new thing of wonder.Her hands were folded atop each other over her belly as she stood at the entrance to the pack house, in the solemn pose that one expected from such an individual. Her eyes, clear as a new day, watched us expectantly as we approached, neither too excited nor too empty. She held her neck and shoulders straight like a sculpture, saying without words that she was not one to cower to anyone.When Kaiden and I finally stood before her, Bradford moved to her side, looking like he hadn't slept in days. A pool of black sat unde

Kaiden's POV“We have suffered too much as a pack to have people plotting our downfall from within.” My voice shook with emotion as I spoke. The worst thing in the world that I could never forgive was betrayal and dishonesty. Hearing those words come right out of Sal's mouth was like taking a bullet to the chest, and maybe even more painful.Savannah moved close to me, and placed her hands on my shoulders. Her warm breath brushed the back of my neck.“Kaiden . . . What will we do now?” she asked.I subdued my raging wolf within, resisting the urge to throw something or ram my fist into a nearby wall. I didn't know where to even start. I didn't know what to say, or even what to do. All I could feel was rage and anger.Who could have had such audacity to lead an attack right from within the pack? Why would anyone even allow rogues to come into Mysticrock and hurt people after what we had been through year in year out?How could we ever hope to defeat the Rogues where there were people

Rayne's POVBy the time I woke up, Kaiden's side of the bed was already empty and devoid of warmth.I would have preferred it if he had stayed by my side, covering me with his own perfectly carved body. I wanted him near. There was no use trying to convince myself otherwise.With the number of times we had found ourselves in such a situation, I could no longer even try to pretend that being with him couldn't work out, or that we weren't meant to be together. Everything that I had told myself from the time I had first met him now appeared like a distant, invalid dream.I sat up from the bed, ready to put on some clothes and leave the room as well, when the adjoining bathroom coughed up a sound.Moments later, Kaiden emerged, clad in nothing but a gray towel wrapped around his waist.“You're up,” he said when he saw me. His eyes were bright and full of expression this morning, and wanted to know why. “How'd you sleep?”I clutched the sheets tighter to myself, trying to cover what I was

Rayne's POV“You conniving little devil!” she screeched so forcefully that flecks of saliva sprayed on my skin. “How dare you show your face here?”In the next moment, Kaiden was out of his seat, holding her wrist to prevent her from slapping me again. “Try that again, and I'll rip your head off,” he growled, before shoving her away. She would have toppled over if she hadn't held on to a nearby table for purchase. “Do you not know who I am?”The people around us went into a mix of stunned silence and nervous murmuring.My mother, the great Mrs. Lawson, for the first time ever, was actually scared of someone.Her lips started to tremble as recognition descended upon her faster than a dark cloud. She looked up and down his form multiple times like she was trying to make sense of the situation she had found herself in.Once she fully realized who actually stood before her, she closed her gaping mouth. “L-Lycan King Alvaro!” she spurted, clutching the table behind her with enough force to
