All Chapters of Mated To The Alpha: Fated To The Lycan King : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Rayne's POV“I don't understand why I need a babysitter,” I said, crossing my arms. Kaiden simply walked to the other side of his room and downed the rest of his wine. The liquid stained his lips red, giving them an oddly sensual look. His eyes were hooded, tired even, and held little emotion in them.When he had called me over to his room, I had accepted greedily, thinking that he wanted to say something akin to the thoughts I had been nursing, but the moment I stepped into his room and saw the look in his eyes, all hope seeped out of me like bleached ink. I didn't want to look ungrateful, but with the things I was already up to, the last thing I needed was someone following me up and down. If he couldn't trust me to be able to take care of myself, then I didn't want anyone trailing my shadow.“I'm doing this for you, Rayne. Whether you like it or not. Things are getting very bad. Look at what happened to Bradford. The released rogue. Even think back to Sal's kidnapping. I have to

Rayne's POVNot wanting to continue watching a moment that I probably wasn't supposed to witness, I quietly left the garden after that. I had seen enough.As I bounded down the hall towards the dungeon, someone came walking out of a corner, giving me little time to even move out of the way. I barely dodged, and as I twisted out of the way I grabbed on to the nearest item I believed would keep me on my feet.It was him again.I let go of his shirt like it was a hot potato. “What are you doing here?” He looked down at me, unsmiling. “I should be asking you the same thing.”“I'm not a prisoner here.”“Still doesn't answer the question.”I crossed my arms. “Excuse you, but you have no right to ask me such questions. You're not the one hosting me here.”“But I have been tasked with looking after you, as well as the role of a First Beta.”First Betas were, as the name implied, Betas that answered directly to the Alpha. That was Bradford's role previously, but obviously since he was hospita

Sal’s POVI ran the wet cloth over his skin, taking my precious time to ensure that the surface was clean. Seeing him in this sick bed reminded me of how taking care of my paralyzed father used to be before he succumbed to the weakness of his body.After I finished cleaning him up, I kissed him on the forehead, packed up my things, and left.“I'll be back soon,” I whispered to him at the doorway, hoping that even if the chances were slim, he could hear me.Later, my mind moved over the things I had managed to gather up since Rayne and I started looking for clues as to who released the rogue that night. I'd been to the dungeons numerous times, but found nothing significant except for the ugly stain on the concrete floor where Bradford had bled.To further prove that the rogue had been indeed released and simply didn't break out on his own, the cell he had been in had no signs of struggle. No claw marks or broken floors. It was like one moment he was inside, and the next he wasn't.I al

Rayne's POVMoving around at night like someone with something to hide didn't sit right with me, but I wanted answers, and I would do what I could to get them.Victor had indeed piqued my curiosity by speaking about the prophecy, but to an extent, it wasn't private information. If everyone in Oceanpearl was aware of it, then it wasn't enough proof for me to simply believe his words.He had asked us to meet tonight for him to “reveal all” as he had so put it, and who was I to deny the man audience? I would listen to what he had to say one last time, and then I would give him a piece of my mind as well.I slipped through the halls with practiced ease. It was funny how a few months back I didn't even know the end of one hall to the other, and often ended up in the wrong places. The place had grown on me, one way or the other, and I had started to see it as a home.This didn't mean that I had cast off Oceanpearl entirely, as I still had some ties to it. After all, I had been born there, s

Kaiden's POVI felt like I had swallowed a hot, burning coal, and it had sunk deep into my body cavity, burning me on the inside. Watching Rayne leave the room became one of the hardest things I had ever done, and I didn't want to do it. The problem lies within me. I couldn't understand what I had seen after I followed her into that place. Images warred in my mind, pulling me from one resolve to another. The moment Victor kissed her, I had left, because I didn't want to watch any more, but . . . I think I had heard something else. The problem was remembering what I heard, and if I even heard anything at all.Savannah pulled me down to her again, and I obeyed, resting once again on her thighs, and letting her run her fingers through my hair.She parted the middle section of my hair, her breath soft against my cheek. “Don't worry about them, Kaiden. You're too hard working to take on all these struggles yourself. You need assistance.”
