All Chapters of THE ALPHA KING'S GIFTED MATE : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

CHAPTER 11: I'LL BE WAITING EVERLY:“You are the little miss who thinks she can take my place?” she said smoothly as we faced each other.I assessed her with suspicious eyes, “It depends on what you mean, Seraphina.”Her lips curved into a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “I am the strongest female warrior in the Crescent Moon Pack. Haven't you heard about me?”“No, I haven't.’ I said, shaking my head.“Well, I'm here to inform you that I deserve a place beside Alpha Kaelan as his Luna and not some weak creature like you who has nothing to offer.”I felt a flush of embarrassment as I lowered my eyes.“You’re ashamed, aren’t you?” she taunted, stepping closer. “You know deep down you’ll never be enough for him. He was probably bored while I was away and you think you can step into my shoes? How pathetic.”I didn't say a word because I was embarrassed. Kaelan never told me that he had a girlfriend. Seeing that I didn't respond, she continued. “You’re nothing but a placeholder for the

CHAPTER 13: I LOVE YOU TOO KAELAN;—It was getting late and we needed to get out of the forest fast. Not that I was afraid—a Lycan King can never show fear—but I didn't want to put Everly in any form of danger. The fastest way to get back home was by moving in our Wolf forms. I caught a glimpse of her Wolf today but it wasn't very strong. So I shifted back to my Lycan form and crouched down, ordering her to climb on top of my back. She hesitated for a moment and obeyed. As she held tightly onto me, I raced with a lightning speed. In a quarter of an hour, we were back in the castle.As we returned home, I noticed Everly was unusually quiet. Too quiet. “What's on your mind, beautiful girl.”“Nothing,” she said without meeting my gaze. I watched her all evening, hoping to see a change in her attitude but she remained cold and aloof. Dinner was served and as we settled down to eat, I focused my gaze on her.It was unlike her to sit silently, with her fork pushing food around and he

CHAPTER 15: REVEALING THE PROPHECY EVERLY:As the last elder left the chamber, Kaelan took my hand and led me to his room. This was the first time I've entered his room and it made my breath hitch. His room was spacious and luxuriously furnished. I stared at his portrait that hung on the wall. It was a captured image of him, sitting on his throne, wearing all the regal attires of a Lycan King. It was beautiful.Suddenly, Kaelan turned me around and pinned me against the wall, gazing at me with lustful eyes. I blushed and lowered my lashes, unable to meet his gaze. He lifted my chin so I could look at him. “You’re beautiful, Everly,”“Thank you, Kaelan. You are handsome too.” I blurted before I could stop myself.His gaze became more intense and he lowered his lips to mine. His lips brushed mine in a seductive way and I felt my body ache for his touch. He deepened the kiss, while his hand moved down my back until it settled on my butt and squeezed gently. He kiss me so passionately

CHAPTER 17: THE ELDERS PROTEST KAELAN:I was worried about the unnatural glow I saw in Everly's eyes during that fight and decided to keep an eye on her.Later in the evening, I walked into her room and found her sitting on her bed, totally drenched in cold sweat.“Are you alright?” I enquired gently as I walked toward her. I could see her chest heaving and her face pale.“What's wrong, Everly?”“I had a nightmare,” she said softly.“What was it about?”“An unseen force crept into my body and I felt suffocated,” she told me.I searched her face, wondering what was going on. Just then, I received a message from Duncan, my Beta through the mind link. The werewolf council members are here to see you. “Go and have a bath,” I said to Everly.”I'll be back in a short while.”—I walked into the Council Chambers and felt the tension in the room. I took my seat and glanced around the faces of the elders, wondering why they were here. The Council Chamber was usually a space for calm delibera

CHAPTER 19: CHASING OFF THE ROGUES KAELAN:I watched Duncan as his chest heaved. “What's the matter, Duncan?”"Alpha!" he exclaimed, bowing briefly before he straightened, "We've got some rogues near the southern border. They’ve already crossed into our territory."My body tensed instantly. Today seemed to be a bad day. I had just gotten off arguing with the elders and now this? "How many are they?""At least twenty," Duncan said. "But there could be more. Marcus appears to be... organizing them."Marcus. This is a bit serious. Rogues were typically scattered, and disorganized, and most times they acted on impulse. The fact that Marcus was involved meant they have strategized and that could be trouble.I turned to Everly, “I've got to go, my love.”“Can I come with you?”“No. Not even in your dream.”“But I could be of help,” she said with pleading eyes. “Please.”“The answer is no. Go get some rest, I can handle it.”I watched as she pouted and walked away reluctantly. Then I tu
