Alpha King's Human Mate Chapter 23 What awful luck!
Dora's POVAfter tidying up king's room, I packed his dinner and made my way back to his room. I hoped he would appreciate the meal I had worked so hard to prepare as a gesture of thanks. But I had only taken two steps inside when a big black bird flew in through the window, knocking off a decorative vase shattering it to the floor - the raven perched on the sill of the open window.Setting down the tray, I approached the bird cautiously. "Shoo, bad bird, go on now!" I hurled a pillow at it.My missile startled the bird into panicked flight. I quickly shut the window behind it before turning back to the mess it had left. As I cleaned the shards of porcelain, my gaze landed on the food tray I had left vulnerable.My heart dropped into my stomach like lead. There perched on the salmon's surface was the fat, hairy body of a large spider. "Disgusting!" I exclaimed, swatting the loathsome thing away. It scuttled out of sight, leaving me with a tray full of perfectly good food that was no
Alpha King's Human Mate Chapter 24 Well And Truly Stranded.
Dora's POVI was jolted awake by the blaring sound of the morning bell, signaling the start of another day of training. "Fuck, I hate Mondays." Groaning, I burrowed back under the blankets, every muscle stiff and sore. My wounds from the whipping may have healed over, but the memory still haunted me. Before I could slip back into sleep, Stella came bounding into my room. "Rise and shine!" she sang out, yanking open the curtains to flood the space with cheerful morning light. "We've got a fun session planned for you today."I cracked one eye open to glare at her balefully. "Fun? Yesterday I was tossed around like a rag doll. What fresh torture will they put me through now?"Stella laughed, unfazed by my sarcasm. "Oh hush, today will be better, I promise." She tossed some workout clothes at me. "Hurry and get dressed so we can grab a quick breakfast."With much grumbling, I dragged myself out of bed and pulled on the training uniform. My mood only soured further when we arrived at the
Alpha King's Human Mate Chapter 25 Savior
Dora's POVThe injured pup's faint whimpers cut through the silence of the forest. I stroked his fur gently, murmuring words of comfort, but his breaths came in ragged pants. Blood still seeped from the vicious metal trap embedded in his hind leg.Glancing desperately around the deserted gully again, I called out "Help! Please, anyone!" But only my echo answered.The sky rumbled overhead, and fat drops of rain began to patter down between the trees. Within moments, the drizzle turned into a downpour, drenching my hair and clothes. I hunched over the prone wolf pup, trying to shield his shivering body with my own as rivulets streamed down my face.The pup's whines grew weaker as he succumbed to pain and blood loss. Panic clawed at my throat. At this rate, he would perish here within the hour if I couldn't get him free and find help. I refused to let that happen.Gritting my teeth, I grabbed a fallen branch and wedged it beneath the metal trap. I threw my whole weight onto the end, digg
Alpha King's Human Mate Chapter 26 Night Together
Dora's POVRelief left me lightheaded. We had made it through the deadly trial after all. I sank back into the moth-eaten cushions, exhaustion hitting me like a brick wall. Everything still ached from icy rain and over-exertion.Noticing my discomfort, King added more logs to the sputtering fireplace and set a dented kettle over the flames. "Let's get you warmed up now, little one."While the water heated, King searched the abandoned cabin's lone bedroom, returning with an armful of clothes. "These were left behind by whoever lived here last. They'll be big on you, but dry."He set a stack of faded flannels and a woolen sweater in my lap before tactfully turning his back. I changed hastily, my numb fingers fumbling with the unfamiliar buttons. The musty garments hung off my frame like tents, but felt blessedly dry and soft against my raw skin.I had just finished wrapping myself in a tattered quilt when King returned with a steaming mug. "Drink this, i
Alpha King's Human Mate Chapter 27 Attraction
Dora's POVI stood frozen as King loomed over me, one large hand still gripping my wrist. His stormy eyes bored into mine intensely, seeking answers to some unasked question."What are you really afraid of here with me, little one?" he murmured.His free hand came to rest on my hip, fingers splaying over the curve there and tracing idle patterns that raised goosebumps along my skin. I shivered involuntarily at his proximity and the dangerous note lurking beneath his soft tone.How could I even begin to articulate the riotous feelings this controlling yet captivating man stirred within me? I hardly understood them myself - this jumble of wariness, reluctant attraction, and near painful awareness whenever we were close.My mouth went dry and I simply stared up at him wordlessly. King's eyes darkened, reading deeper meanings in my silence. His grip on my wrist tightened almost imperceptibly as he backed me against the wall, caging me between h

Dora's POV Eventually the hypnotic in and out of his breathing lulled me into dozing off still half seated on the mattress edge. I jolted awake some time later, disoriented to find myself slumped over with one arm pillowing my head. The cause of my startled awakening soon became apparent - raised voices filtered under the door from the adjoining study. I could make out King's distinctive baritone and an older man's sharper tenor tone. Their conversation sounded heated, though I could not decipher the exact words.I bit my lip anxiously, debating whether to creep closer to eavesdrop. But just then the pup stirred and whimpered beside me. All thoughts of the argument vanished as I turned my focus on comforting the distressed child. "Shh, you're safe now, little one, I promise," I soothed, smoothing the tangled red curls from his brow. Unfocused amber eyes blinked up at me dazedly before drifting closed again. Still, my voice and gentle pets seemed to calm him. His breaths evened out
Alpha King's Human Mate Chapter 29 Personal Trainer
Dora's POV A week had passed since the harrowing incident in the woods. Both my own scrapes and the pup's leg wound had healed nicely in that time. I was grateful for the peaceful recovery, spending the days reading in the sunshine streaming through King's study window as he worked at his desk nearby. The relationship between us seemed to have shifted after weathering that shared trauma. King no longer pressed me for physical affection, seemingly content just to provide quiet company as I rested. In turn, I found myself seeking him out more often, drawn by his solid presence. We would share meals in easy silence or sit gazing at the stars in the evening. I treasured those unguarded moments between us.But this morning, the week of convalescence had come to an end. It was time for me to resume training with the pack. I dressed in the simple exercise clothes left folded at the end of the bed and made my way down to the dormitory wing. Knocking lightly before entering, I found Stella
Alpha King's Human Mate Chapter 30 Mighty Have Fallen
Sera's POVI paced my bedroom agitatedly, mind churning through increasingly desperate schemes. But nothing tempered the helplessness churning in my gut. I had never been so utterly thwarted and powerless before. Each day cemented Dora's position and eroded my own standing in the pack. Much longer, and King might formally name her his mate and Luna, sealing my fate. "Why are you so worked up over King? He's not even our mate!" My wolf whined mournfully, sensing our mate in name only was lost to us forever. But I stubbornly silenced her weak pleas, refusing to relinquish this fight so easily. King belonged with me. "Once I rid him of the parasite clouding his mind, he would come to his senses. I only needed to act decisively."A timid knock interrupted my frenetic thoughts. One of the maid servants hovered in the doorway, dipping into a low bow. "A thousand apologies for disturbing you, my Luna. But your guest has arrived - a Miss Brittany Woods from the NightShade pack."I hurriedly
