All Chapters of THE ALPHA’S ACCUSED MATE: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

My father was behind the large desk, his eyes flicking up from the papers in front of him when I entered. For a moment, he looked startled, his brow furrowing as though seeing me standing there was an apparition. He hadn’t expected me to return. Then, the mask slid into place. The cold, calculating father I knew all too well."So, you're back," he said, his voice flat, though there was a noticeable edge. "I suppose Alpha Lucien wasn't enough of a shield for you, was he?" He leaned back in his chair, the same smug smile tugging at the corner of his lips that had always made my skin crawl. "I knew that Lucien was too soft-hearted to get justice for Rhea and Mael. But you, you're more determined. Maybe that's the only good thing you've inherited from your mother."I clenched my fists, feeling the anger bubble up inside me. "I’m not here to play games," I said, my voice steady, even though the tremor in my hands betrayed me. "I’m done with whatever twisted game you think you’re playing.

The door creaked open, and I didn’t need to look to know it was Lucien. I could feel his presence, dare I say our bond had grown much stronger lately, even with all the distance."Are you going to keep staring out the window all day?" Lucien’s voice was quiet, but there was an edge to it. His usual calm was strained. "We need to talk, Aurora."I didn't respond right away. I didn’t feel like talking. But he wasn’t giving me a choice."Look at me," he said firmly.Reluctantly, I turned, meeting his eyes. His gaze was sharp, but there was something else in it too. Something that almost felt like concern, but I couldn't tell for sure. It was hard to understand him sometimes, especially now with everything hanging between us."I’m not going to ask you why you left, not again," Lucien began, taking a few steps closer to me. "But I need to understand why you’re acting like this. Why you’re so… distant. What happened? Why are you like this?"His words hit me like a blow to the chest, and I al

I stormed into the mansion, my rage barely contained. My fists clenched at my sides as I climbed the stairs two at a time, my mind racing. Everything finally made sense—the manipulations, the lies, the connections. I had spent all day piecing it together, and now I knew the truth. My father, Aurora’s father, the secrets… it was all linked.I reached Aurora’s door and stopped abruptly. Her scent hit me like a thunderclap, completely changing my mood from anger to intense desire to protect and possess. It was different tonight—primal, alluring, and entirely impossible to ignore. It wrapped around me, pulling Kol to the surface. My wolf growled low in my chest, restless and itching for something I couldn’t explain."Kol, settle down," I muttered under my breath, shaking my head to clear the fog in my head.I knocked on the door, forcing myself to focus. “Aurora, open the door.”There was no answer.I knocked again, harder this time. “Aurora, it’s me. Open up.”Still nothing. A wave of p

I stirred awake, feeling the soft mattress beneath me and a heavy warmth beside me. My heart skipped when I turned my head and saw Lucien lying bare-chested next to me, his face calm in sleep.My cheeks flamed as memories of the previous night flooded back. What did we do? I covered my face with my hands, the embarrassment washing over me. I had been in heat—there was no denying it—but now, in the light of day, everything felt so surreal.We did it! We had sex!I slipped out of bed quietly, clutching the bedsheet around my body as I tiptoed across the room. My gown lay in shreds on the floor, a vivid reminder of the passion that had consumed us. I avoided looking at it as I approached the mirror.Standing in front of the glass, I pulled my long hair aside, exposing my neck. My fingers grazed the sensitive skin as I examined it. My pulse quickened at the thought of what could have happened.“You don’t need to worry,” Lucien’s voice broke the silence.I jumped, spinning around to find h

I am sure my old man would have sworn that I would never step foot in here again, I couldn't wait to show him how wrong he was. If he thought he could get rid of me easily, then he was in for a hard time.When I shoved the door open, he looked up from his desk, startled. His cold eyes quickly narrowed as he saw me standing there. “What gave you the courage to show your face here again?” he spat, rising from his chair. “Do you have a death wish, Aurora? Need I remind you, I’m not your father so you have no reason to return here!”I smirked, stepping further into the room. “Oh, I know that,” I said evenly, crossing my arms. “I know the whole truth now, father.” I added with a sarcastic tone.His face twitched with confusion, but he quickly masked it. “What nonsense are you babbling about now?”I tilted my head, studying him. “I know about your involvement in my mother’s death,” I began, my voice cold and steady. “And how you worked with the Alpha King to kill my biological father, the l
