• My Uncle Alpha, My Mate   CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE

  Rosie’s POVThe faint rays of dawn spilled across the corridor as I tiptoed toward the kitchen. My only reason to get up earlier than usual was led by the rumble in my stomach rather than any real motivation to start the day.I hadn’t eaten much last night… how could I when I already wanted to throw up the non-existent food inside me?My thoughts had been a snarled mess, and my poor appetite had been buried way beneath all of them currently raiding my head.But the moment I reached the kitchen, the sight in front of me made me freeze mid-step.Selena was already there. Why…Miss Perfect was perched on a stool in such poise, like she had a claim over everything already, clad in silky pajamas that shimmered with every flicker of movement.A few of the guards stood nearby, lazily keeping watch over her while she nibbled on warm pastries and sipped something from a delicate porcelain cup.“Morning!” she chirped, as if this was a normal, everyday morning interaction. “Hope I didn’t steal

• My Uncle Alpha, My Mate   CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR

  Rosie’s POVI blinked twice. My throat closed up. Uncle exhaled lightly under my gaze, tapping his fingers once against the table. Apparently, that was all it took for him to turn all eyes to him… “She hasn’t,” he answered flatly, not even looking in my direction.But Selena wasn’t done yet. Her smile curved with newfound glee, resting her chin on the palms of both her hands and leaning over slightly with pretend interest.“Oh…Then I guess I’d like to hear from her.” Her eyes glimmered with something sharp under all that polished charm. “A girl like you must have some preferences. Tell me. Who’s your dream prince?”I cleared my throat, swallowing the lump there. “I’m looking for someone who... sees me for me. Someone who doesn’t try to change what I am. Just... accepts it and loves me nonetheless.”Uncle stiffened out of the corner of my eye, and I tried not to bring attention to it.If Selena noticed, she gave no indication as she continued, letting out a small laugh. “That’s so cu

  Rosie’s POVOnce the dancing was over and the banquet began, I made myself small. I hoped to sneak away soon, blending into the walls and looking like any other maid.That's what he had allowed me to be called, wasn't it? I looked out from my little corner at the impossibly long table holding council members and their mates for those who had them. Uncle sat at the head of the table, the seat to his right filled by the princess and the one to his left empty. I glared at the spot as if I could make it burst into flames. The food smelled delicious and filled the entire table. But my stomach was not in the shape to even think about partaking in the meal. Not the way Selena kept hanging on Uncle like that. But I didn't want to move to stop it either. The parts of me that loved him unconditionally, tangled between the familial love and being his mate, wanted to see him happy. He deserved a moment like this. ‘But you’re his mate,’ Mia hissed. ‘Not a maid.’ Her moping had turned to fiery

  Rosie’s’ POVThe moment I opened my eyes, the warmth was what I noticed first. The fog in my mind was a distant memory, but it was there. Uncle’s back protruded from the doorway. It was the only part of him I could see. His presence made my heart ache and flutter all at once. He was here for me. As all my senses awoke, I caught low voices drifting in softly from just outside the door. The voices belonged to my uncle, “…planning a Luna selection ball next week.”That comfort I felt vanished in an instant.“Uncle?” I croaked out. He turned around with a small smile across his face. A chill ran through me as he approached. “Rosie, you are awake,” he said.I swallowed hard, voice trembling. “Is it true?” I had to know now. Like ripping off a bandage.He paused for a second and knew what I asked for. “Yes.” There was no emotion one way or the other in his voice. The one word hit like a blade between my ribs. He placed a hand on mine. “I hoped you’d be happy for me.”Mia scoffed. 'Happ

  Nikolas’ POVDoctor Cameron She cast a quick glance at the nearby nurses and pack members, then lowered her voice."We'll speak about it later, Alpha."I forced a nod, trying to appear calm, but my pulse was already racing. Did she know? Could she tell I was Rosie’s mate?“Rosie’s heat is stable for now,” She told me, her voice quiet but firm. “We administered the suppressant just in time.” At least there was that.My eyes never left Rosie’s flushed face as she lay unconscious on the hospital bed. Strands of her hair were slicked with sweat that clung to her forehead.“Marco,” I said without turning, “take Tyler and Chris back to the patrol team. You’ll continue with the trip as planned.”Marco hesitated, only for a moment. I couldn't begrudge him his concern. “Are you sure, Alpha?”“I’ll stay with her, she will be alright.” The last thing I needed right now was an invasion because Marco couldn’t complete his duty. He left without another word, taking the others with him.Doctor Came

  Nikolas’ POVI lingered at the door as Marco zipped up his bag, his expression calm—at least on the surface. I leaned against the frame with my arms crossed. “You’ve packed light.”He gave me a side glance, then a crooked grin. “We'll be back in no time. You'll see."I wanted to believe that. He was an excellent beta. Maybe he would achieve the impossible, and he and the warriors would nullify the threat. My thoughts were so tangled as I told him to be careful out there. Rosie's father came to mind as Marco slung his bag over his shoulder.He paused, then nodded once. “I will.”There was a beat of silence between us before he added casually, “You sure you’ll be alright here? With… everything?”I knew it wasn't my ability to protect the pack without him that he was questioning. He didn’t say her name, but he didn’t have to.“Rosie,” I said, breaking the tension myself, “is hurting. And truthfully, so am I.”Marco turned, surprised.“I know I can't mark her, but I also don’t want to le
