All Chapters of How To Mate With An Alpha: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Samiya’s POVWith that one statement, the bath went from a sensual one to a panicked one fast.I knew the story of Helene and Artemis the first. I had studied everything I could on the mating ceremony, but nowhere had I ever seen a Luna-to-be bearing Helene’s mark, and as far as I knew, I wasn’t born with any birthmarks on my back.The only birthmark I had was the one on my thumb, so whatever was going on, it either meant that the goddess was yet again pulling one of her cruel jokes or the werewoman behind me had gone mad.“What mark?” I managed to ask in a controlled voice, although control was the one thing I knew I lacked at that very moment.“Th-the design on her necklace… you have boldly drawn on your lower back. L-Luna, is this something you got tattooed on… but it doesn’t feel like a t-tattoo.”Although the female’s voice was shaky, her hands were very much steady, and they refused to stop rubbing the skin where the supposed mark was.“Mirror. Get me a mirror. I want to see it

Samiya’s POVMy heart skipped a beat.Just how much of my conversation with Miss Shuzen did he hear?But then again, there was no way on Etrana that Miss Shuzen would allow just anyone to eavesdrop on a conversation as important as the one we had just had. Straightening my back, I tried to mask my fear as much as I could. “I have no idea what you’re talking about and the only demon I have had the unfortunate fate of meeting since I got here has been you Meidran.”Meidran scoffed, placing his hands behind his back as he took a few steps toward me.“Fair enough. You look dashing, by the way. Almost too dashing for Zain, I would say.”So he didn’t hear anything then.My nerves relaxed.“Flattery will get you nowhere, Meidran. Now tell me, what exactly are you doing here?”He shrugged. “Ever since you’ve been announced as Luna, my duties have been reduced to those of a common help, Samiya,” he took a slight pause as if contemplating what to say next, but quickly shook his head before any

Samiya's POVPerhaps that answer wasn’t good enough for Zain because he wasted no time in tearing off the rest of my dress until the barrier between him, and I was my undergarments.His eyes darkened as he took in my almost bare form, his fingers tracing a slow, tantalizing path over my exposed skin. The heat between us was unbearable, the air charged with the kind of tension that made my pulse pound in my ears.Zain’s thumb grazed over my nipple, rolling it in a way that sent a sharp jolt of pleasure straight to my core. My body arched instinctively, a breathless moan slipping past my lips.“You’re so damn responsive,” he murmured, his voice thick with approval.A thrill shot through me at his words. I was his. Every touch, every sensation—he controlled it, ignited it. And I wanted more.His hands traveled lower, gripping my waist before sliding down to the thin lace that still separated us. His fingers traced the band, teasing, his heated gaze never leaving mine.“Zain,” I breathed

Samiya’s POVFLASHBACKTwo years.It had been two years since Meidran rejected me in the largest market square in Etrana and two years since I had begun plotting my revenge. If the wench of Etrana was all everyone chose to see me as then, the title would just have to work for my good in some way or the other.“Miya, you can’t screw this up. You have one chance and one chance only and if things go to shit then you might as well settle for Enzo,” my mother reminded me as she ran a brush through my thick ginger-red hair.An exhausted sigh escaped my lips. “That will not be happening, mother. So you can kindly forget about the stupid man now.”Through the mirror, I saw my mother take a pause. She let my hair go and dropped the hairbrush on a nearby table. “The stupid man as you call him was the one who bothered to pay for the nice house we live in and give you money for the nice clothes you wear.”My mother was right. It was because of Enzo’s kindness that we could find a place to live t

Samiya’s POVMy hands clenched even tighter by my sides and I could feel my eyes starting to burn.“You don’t have a say in this mother. I am Luna and I have the last say in cases where neither the alpha nor the moon goddess are concerned. You have three days and before the cock crows on the fourth day, I expect you to be far away from here and fully settled into the new life that I am more than willing to provide for you.” By the time I was done speaking, my chest was heaving and my heart had sunk further than I thought possible.My mother folded her arms across her chest and a small smile appeared on her face. It took only a few moments for that smile to morph into a laugh, leaving me confused.“I always knew that you were destined for something greater and being Luna suits you. Just try to make sure that you give this treatment to anyone else who even remotely tries to get on your nerves.”“I forgot that our mother was mad,” Scarlet pitched in, her amusement clear.“Peculiar, yes, b
