All Chapters of KING'S MATE: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

AZALEA'S POV"Arg!." Reid, my sparring partner, a six foot big guy probably weighing 200 pounds hits the floor with a loud thud. I don’t know what it is, but I've been feeling a lot stronger these days. Maybe its mountain air, maybe it’s the pond waters, its certainly not the awful military powder food, but something is different.I know they say your wolf awakening gives you strength, but I have been pushing her down. I don't know what scares me more, that she could be dangerous to me or to the people around me.Compared to Reid, I'm a child, but somehow, just like all the other people I've spared with, has taken a beating. My biggest advantage is my heightened speed, its almost like I can see their moves before they even do it.Not expecting another attack from Reid as his back is already to the ground, I don't see his paws till they scratch my legs aiming for my side, the impact sending me to my knees instantly. I hear a loud round of gasps from the audience, pain shoots through me

HENRY'S POVAfter that first night of seeing her bathe, she only ever wears one large hoodie, it wasn't horrible, but while other girls didn't shy away from tossing their shirts when it gets really hot and hike in just bras or loose shirts, she would be in a hoodie.Now I understand its more than being just conscious, she was hiding something under all that fabric. Without warning, I tore the sleeve off the shirt revealing a bandaged arm, that was now bleeding out.I did notice the injuries back then, but I assumed she must have healed the next day like any normal wolf, but I should have expected nothing is normal with this girl.She scoots away, trying to shield herself, pain visible in her face.'How the hell has she been sparing with all these injuries?!' "Why haven't you healed?." I almost shout causing her to shriek, I close my eyes, trying to reign my emotions in. It wasn't exactly what she needed after her episode."I don't heal as fast as others……" She stutters. That explaine

AZALEA'S POV"What did you say?." He asks stepping closer. My heart begins to thunder again at his proximity. Its been doing that a lot lately.I frown trying to remember my exact words that might have tipped him off, I was just running my mouth without thinking, so the chances I said something to offend him are high."Defender of the weak?." I ask in a slow voice. He shakes his head, his frown softening a bit."No, no the other one….""Savior of all?.""Yes, that, where did you hear it?.""I don't know, I just thought of it." I rush out, his aura now chocking me - but in a good way."My dad used to say those words……" He stops talking for a while, as if in deep thoughts, then a small smile creeps to his face. "For a second, I thought I heard his voice." He says."What, what was he like?." I ask, feeling the urge to, even though it might bring my untimely demise. He had mentioned his father two times for me not to be curious. Alpha Henry tilts his head slowly that I didn't think he woul

HENRY'S POV She must think I'm an asshole. Maybe because I am. And also because I have to be fair, or at least try to be.Reid turned up with a black eye, so I didn't need to do anything but give him some more threats, like peeling his skin off and feeding it to mountain bears, squeezing out every drop of his blood to feed rogues.You know, the usual stuff and when I saw that he had paled, I let him go for the rest of the day. But then I had to punish both of them in front of all the other survivors so they know not to try such again.Nothing enforces a rule to a bunch of youngsters like a scapegoat.The nepo boy amazed me and handled his punishment rather well, unlike feisty over here. Huffing and struggling through the laps.I'm sure its harder because she thinks she didn't deserve it, but there was no excuse for almost ripping out his eye. Even if he attacked first. Ryder and I were perfectly present and ready to handle the situation if she had just learnt to control herself.Of co

HENRY'S POV"No, don't say that, you saved us, almost a hundred people." She says.Her words surprise me a little bit, because I was under the impression that she hated that they were being "saved" to Red Fire. In fact Lexa had on occasions mentioned that we were probably taking them to become slaves in Red Fire; mopping floors and cooking all day.It’s a laughable notion because Red Fire is a large pack and definitely self sufficient. We didn't need slaves, people had their jobs and did it remarkably well."Well, I have also killed hundreds of people." A very true fact."Sure there are a lot of rumors about you, and you are a complete pain in the neck, but you're not all that bad." She smiles."Like my mom would say, people give all sort of names to things they don't understand because they are scared of it." Her mother sounded like a very wise woman, I am beginning to understand why all three of them seem very much grounded than the others in the lot."The first time we met, you sav
