The King's Alpha Chapter 17
Naresh and I lapsed onto silence for a minute or two before I hauled up the bag of potatoes. She didn’t specify what she wanted so I would just bring the bag back in. When I went out, Danger was in the middle of the burnt pile with a shovel.“Mom, you didn’t call him all the way out here to roast your pig, did you?”The smile she showed me told me that’s exactly what she did. Danger though, seemed all too eager to be helping her out with this. She placed the potatoes in the ground and then Danger helped prep the pig in his trunk before they put it in the smoldering pile. Between the two of them, they finished in just under an hour.He came in for a slice of cake but headed out soon after, saying that his mate had such a tight leash on him, he started to yell their safe word every time she wouldn’t let him go. I realized, at that moment, all my mom’s friends were as shameless as she was. She asked him to come by later when it was done cooking and he said he would text her later if he c

Suddenly, Lucy’s face went red. “I’m sorry, Vale! I didn’t even think you would have a mate!”My mom, Hector and Bryan snickered as Lucy turned even more red.“I didn’t mean…I just…I’m sorry!”I laughed. “Lucy, it’s fine. Currently, I’m not attached to anymore. Though, maybe check with the person before you use them as revenge on your ex-mate, yeah?”She nodded sheepishly.“You guys captains now? When I left, you guys were applying.”AJ rolled his eyes. “Turns out, you needs to be a fat fuck to be a captain now.” He shot a glare back at the group we were completely ignoring. Jax elbowed him. “We decided freelance was more our thing. Your mom here hooked us up with the deluxe mercenary package. So we’ve been working for the guild for five years now.”“Shit! Congrats you guys. I’ve worked with more than a few mercenaries in the past five years. Maybe there will be an opportunity."“Hopefully really soon.” Jax waggled his eyebrows but I watched as my mom kicked him in the back of the kne

Hector got to her door first and threw it open. I could hear the lock break as it hit the wall. Right behind him, I surveyed the room. My mom was standing, chest heaving, golden eyes lit up and her full-length mirror shattered under her. Her hand was sporting shards of glass and blood as it held the crumpled piece of paper. She was shaking but the look on her face was angry more than upset.“Mom?”Her eyes found mine and suddenly, I was brought to my knees. Behind me, I felt Bryan grab me so I didn’t fall to the ground.“Auri.” Hector walked into the room, his hands up. “You’re bleeding.”Shaking her head, she brushed past him and disappeared into the closet. She came out a few minutes later, wearing body armor, her hair pulled up and completely suited up with weapons.Bryan took a deep breath. “You aren’t going onto the territory, Auri. You can’t. They will attack because they would know you are coming! They can feel you!”Her hands came up quickly. “I don’t care.” She signed it over

“Lucy, don’t say it like that. We are going to build a pack and ask nicely when the time comes.” AJ laughed, leaning back on the stool he sat down on.My eyes stared at Lucy as she held my gaze. I was trying to rationalize what I just heard. The thought had crossed my mind that I would eventually like to have my own pack. Staying at the castle for the rest of my life wasn’t necessarily appealing to me, I didn’t really know how to begin. Really, I had thought I would start with my Luna and work our way through the world. Maybe picking up some of the good apples amongst the rogues and building from there.Usually, the king would take over his families pack but I refused since I didn’t want to take away anything from Týr. That left me packless for the first time in recorded history. Alpha King Odin did have a pack but chose to leave it, though he did end up building a new pack from what I knew of the genealogy book. I just hadn’t really nailed down the specifics.Now, I was being told a

I sat on the edge of a small cliff that was not too far from the house. Further east was a waterfall from a stream that wrapped around the territory but that was further than I wanted to go. The air blew through my hair and I had my leg pulled up, the other dangling off the edge. It was sunny and so the rock beneath me was warm since the trees didn’t grow this close to the edge. It overlooked the rest of the forest that dropped down about thirty or so feet. It was peaceful. There weren’t any sounds outside of the wind, the rustling of the trees, and the creatures in the forest. I found a place that I escaped to outside of the High Council castle as well. Here though, was familiar and safe. A place where my head could just not think of all the things I needed to do, all the duties and problems of the world. Naresh also sat quietly in my head as we looked out. At some point, I closed my eyes and slipped into a meditative state. I heard someone come up behind me and I looked back, seein

***Ezekiel’s POV*** I sat in my office looking down at the paperwork in front of me. The same paper had been in front of me for the last half hour but I couldn’t bring myself to comprehend what I was reading. My mind wandered more and more lately. In my dreams, I found myself back at the High Council, roaming the corridors of castle. It was a never ending maze and at every turn I could smell him; fresh baked bread and basil. Rose had tried to explain to me what it meant to have a mate, what it was like when she met Cory. I didn’t understand until now. It was harder though, so much harder. The first day I saw him, stepping forward as the Alpha King Vale, I was shocked. I remember Leo having to get my attention after he spoke. His words flowed over me and I felt myself being carried away. I wanted him. I want to walk into his arms and never leave. It was only when he backed away, disappeared from my line of sight that it all came crashing down on me. I remember shaking like a leaf and

My eyes opened and I was in an unfamiliar forest. I was glad it wasn’t the tight space of the castle that I normally dreamed. The trees grew taller here than at home and they provided much more of a canopy. It even smelled different. It was still clear and crisp but the trees weren’t the same and the grass wasn’t the same. My feet were bare and I was wearing the sweats that I had on when I fell into bed after my shower. The grass felt cool and I thought this dream was surprisingly realistic for what I had been dealing with the past months. Though the first time I dreamed about him was an experience I don’t think my ass would forget. I shivered from the memory. The wind blew through the trees and I turned to follow the breeze. My eyes fell on my mate. He was leaning against a tree, eyes closed, wearing nothing but boxers. I let my eyes roam over his body. He seemed different from when I first saw him but then, I was comparing him to a dream I had which was already weird. His eyes ope

We sat on the floor, her legs were draped over mine as her back leaned against my broken bed. My back was against the wall and her fingers were intertwined in mine. “So…you saw him from a balcony twice. You know he is your mate. You keep dreaming about him and this time you met him, you talked. It did not go well and you woke up.” I nodded, my head was leaned back against the wall, and my eyes were closed. Somewhere in the middle of the explanation, I had stopped crying. It didn’t feel better though, my heart still hurt with every beat. “How do you know if he actually hates you?” “You didn’t see his face that day, Rose. Leo could tell you. It nearly brought me to my knees. He was livid. He was still fair and still advised the council on our situation but he was so angry. He didn’t even stay for the rest of the meeting, he left and slammed the door so loud behind him even some of the High Councilors flinched.” She nodded but narrowed her eyes. “How do you know that it was even him
