Alpha of Alphas - The Lycan's Impossible Mateย ย ย Chapter 99
Kane's POVI am just about to settle in with Vickus’s Gammas so I can try to guide them towards some kind of resolution to the Vickus issues when there’s a knock on the conference door. I am tempted to ignore it, but my new inner voice tells me that I really need to talk to the person on the other side. “Just a moment,” I say to the annoyed-looking Gammas and get up to answer the door.Kaylee, one of Willow’s guards, stands on the other side, looking terrified. “King,” she says through stuttering breaths. “It’s the queen.”I haven’t felt anything from Willow that concerns me. A little anger, a little jealousy, some pangs of fear and concern, all normal emotions for a pregnant she-wolf. “What about her?” I ask, closing the door behind me.“She, ah, she’s on her way to see Maria.”“So?” I still don’t know why the guard is

Kaneโs POV โItโs not the potion,โ Agatha says. โNothing in it can causeโฆthis kind of mental and physical decline.โ โFuck,โ I run my hand through my hair and glance at Willow. Sheโs quiet, her head thrown back, looking at something we canโt see. โWhat is wrong with her?โ โI donโt know, great king. Perhaps itโs the pup doing it to her.โ โWhy would he kill his own mother?โ Agatha just shrugs. โWho knows why The Ultima does anything, my king? Maybe sheโs not supposed to survive the pregnancy. Perhaps, the gods only granted you this short time together, so she can birth this saviour of the werewolf race, and then her time here comes to an end.โ I have to stop myself from knocking Agathaโs head off her shoulders. Sheโs saying things Iโve been thinking about but donโt want to hear. I donโt want to believe it. I canโt. We are meant to be together forever. โIf thatโs the godsโ plan, itโs a bad one.

“What happened? What did I do?” Kane asks while he helps me off the altar.“Not you, great king,” Agatha offers. “The gods. They saw your anguish, and tied your life force to hers.”I’m still a little too dazed to say anything. I’m not convinced the gods had anything to do with it. Kane’s magic has a tendency to get away from him, and he does things without even trying. “Is there a way he can undo it?” I ask.“Not if you want to live through this pregnancy, priestess.”“Stop calling me that. I’m not your priestess.” I turn to Kane. “You have to undo it. If I die, you die, and then our child will be all alone.”“No,” he says, and crosses his arms over his chest. “I can feel it now. How much the pup takes from your magic and life force. Goddess, he's strong. I don’t even know how you made it this far.”&ldqu

“Do we still need this?” Kane asks, holding up the container of vials.“I don’t know,” I say and sit at the kitchen counter. I don’t know how Kane does it, because he looks at least as bad as I feel, but like every morning, he got up early and made breakfast. “I don’t think it makes any difference anymore.”He nods and returns the container to the cabinet. “We’ll see how it goes. If you get sicker, we’ll start using it again.” He runs a shaky hand through his thick hair and pushes his half-eaten food away. “I have to go into the city next week. I think you should come with me.”“Why?”“So I can keep an eye on you.”I’m too tired and sick to argue with him. “Okay. Did the Gammas come to a decision yesterday?”“Yes. They’re executing Vickus tonight.”“Do we have to attend?”

Kaneโs POV After waking Willow for breakfast and making sure she eats, I go to my private office down the hall to the apartment. I want to be close in case she needs me, but itโs the last Saturday of the month, and itโs the day I usually see tribe members to hear what grievances they have, and I donโt want to receive them in my home. Itโs a quiet day. The kingdom is in a lull after the battle and Vickusโs execution. For now, everyoneโs somewhat content, and happy to return to something resembling normality. Iโve been busy getting everything in place, setting the kingdom up to return it to a state where I donโt need to do everything. All thatโs left to do is reforming the council of elders, and then my fatherโs hearing which Iโve had to postpone because I donโt have the energy for it. โCome in, Jackson,โ I say when I hear the Alphaโs approach outside my door. These last two weeks heโs been invaluable. With Glenn still being out of commission, I donโt know how Iโd have gotten anything

Kane's POV: The week passes in a haze of pain and fatigue. I force Patrick to stay with me the whole time so he can learn how to do things. I try to check in with Willow every day, but mostly sheโs unreachable, lost in a world of fog where I canโt connect with her. Itโs killing me little by little, and Iโm fast reaching the point where I just want her to give birth so we can take hands and dive off the cliff together. I havenโt told Patrick that weโre dying. I somehow managed to convince him that Iโm just overworked and stressed, but Drake isnโt that easy to fool. Towards the end of the week, he drags the whole story from me without even trying. He looks at me, the surprise evident on his face, his cold, grey eyes suddenly filled with concern I didnโt expect to see. โI know someone,โ he says at last. โA rogue, like me. A witch. She was kicked out of her pack when they found out sheโs a hybrid. Maybe she can help.โ I quickly shoot him down, because I canโt keep going down this path.

Kane's POV I make it to the stairs leading up to my apartment before I sag to the floor, out of breath and unable to keep going. I sit on the bottom step with my arms on my knees, resting my head on my forearms and staring at the floor. Itโs too much effort to get up and keep going. For the first time in many years, Iโve had to hire a helicopter pilot to fly me back home, and the walk from the helipad to my wing of the castle took me the better part of two hours instead of the usual ten minutes. โKane?โ Glenn kneels at my feet. โYou okay, man?โ โNo,โ I say, not even bothering to look up. โPretty sure Iโm dying.โ โAlfred and Narcissa are here. Theyโre waiting up in your apartment.โ โI know. They came back with me.โ โOh. Itโs a rare day when a human can outrun Kane Madden.โ โHm. How are you doing?โ When he speaks, I can imagine the way his mouth pulls down at the corner and the troubled look in his eyes. โBetter, I suppose.โ โDonโt lie to me.

I wake up feeling much better. The cool breeze blowing in from the open window cools my sweaty body and feels surprisingly good, considering that Iโm freezing. Confused, I look around the room, the only light coming from Kaneโs side of the bed. Thereโs blood on the sheets, and I can smell the fading scent of at least six people. Frowning, I get up, testing legs that just two days ago wouldnโt carry my weight at all. They feel solid and surprisingly strong. The door opens, and Kaneโs scent fills the room. My heartbeat shoots up with joy when I see him. It feels like I havenโt seen him in weeks. He still looks sickly and pale, but not as bad asโฆwhen? I think I saw him earlier, but he looked bad. Like he was knocking on deathโs door. Maybe I imagined it. Or dreamed it. These last few weeks I havenโt been able to distinguish between dreams and reality anymore. โHey,โ he says and gives me a sheepish grin. โI heard you get up.โ โWere you here earlier?โ I ask. โIn bed with me?โ โYes.

Alpha of Alphas - The Lycan's Impossible Mateย ย ย Thank you
Dear readers, I would like to thank each and every one of you for taking the time to read Willow and Kane's story. This has been one of the longest books I've ever written, and when I started out I did not expect it to turn into this epic saga, but I regret nothing. Nothing I tell you :). I fell in love with Willow and Kane, and I am genuinely sad to say goodbye to these two, but unfortunately all stories must come to an end. Thank you for your support througout this wild ride. It means the world to me. I hope you enjoyed reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it. Until we meet again. All my love, Celice
Alpha of Alphas - The Lycan's Impossible Mateย ย ย Epilogue
Kane Madden, Lycan King of Felan, wakes up to an unearthly racket right outside his bedroom door. Slightly concerned, he glances at his heavily pregnant wife and smiles despite his annoyance at his oldest sonโs shenanigans in the hallway. Willow Madden, his mate of fifteen years is heavily pregnant with their second set of twins, two boys this time, and Kane sincerely hopes this is the last time. Goddess knows he loves his children, all eight of them, and heโs sure heโll love numbers nine and ten just as much, but itโs getting difficult to keep up with all the pups. They are exhausting. For a time, he was sure that theyโd never have more children, but after one wild afternoon in the forest, Willow did get pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, as their remarkable son predicted. She named the twins Josiah and Jocelyn, after the previous occupants of their home. Kane thought it was macabre, but Willow insisted, saying they had to honour their ancestors. That would be the same twins wh

Itโs a beautiful summerโs day, and the drive up to the cabin is pleasant enough. Kane and I have found a peaceful kind of comfort in each otherโs silence, and we rarely need to fill the quiet with inane background chatter. We are content, just being together. I inhale the lovely fresh air, remembering the first time I came here. The night Suri was born, the sheer exhilaration of feeling my wolf come to life...and that was all thanks to Agatha. Dear, sweet Agatha who never found a final resting place because we went to war and in the chaos, we forgot all about her. Our funeral home has since been bombed off the planet, and we just take care of our dead our own way as we'd done during the war. There arenโt that many of us left anyway. The few surviving wolves live here now, and those that refuse to come to safety are dying off โ Templars bearing a lingering grudge either murder them, or the wolves yield to their unrelenting urge to join a good war. Kane once told me that wolves had be

Kane's POV I wasnโt sure what would happen in the months and years that followed after we signed the peace treaty, so we went with the tried and tested 'go with the flow' method. For a time, everything went back to normal. Drake and Patrick ran the business, and more and more my little brother took over my duties in the company. Proof, Willow liked to remind me, that Omegas are just as competent as any other wolf. The overseas wolves went home, and as soon as they were sure the threat had really passed, the European wolves followed suit. The only ones that stayed were the humans. I claimed the human town as part of my territory during the peace talks, and the residents now affectionately call it Wolftonia. Leif left, taking his strange sister with him. Only later did we learn that Silkeโs time on earth was limited and that she had foreseen her own death long before she ever came here. Unbeknownst to all of us, including Willow, a vรถlvaโs dying energy projects outwards, and what we m

Adare runs around the garden with Roland. The two boys growl and stalk each other like prey. My motherly instinct is to jump up and stop them before one of them gets seriously hurt, but Rosie quickly grabs me and pulls me back to my chair. โNo Queen,โ she says. โThatโs how they learn. They wonโt hurt each other.โ โAre you sure?โ โIโve seen them play this game a hundred times. Iโm sure.โ Dammit. My throat burns and I have to fight against the tears. Iโm so happy that my son is home, but Iโve missed so much. He is the size of an average three-year-old and when I talk to him, I sometimes forget that heโs not even two yet. I choose not the think about it. I choose to focus on the here and now. My family is whole and complete and that's what matters โMama! Look!โ Adare squeals and tackles Roland to the ground. โGood job, buddy,โ Kane says behind me. I look over my shoulder at my mate. โYouโre back early.โ โYes. Peace talks broke down.โ โWhy?โ โClement wants my humans.โ โI thought

Kane rolls over to my side and pulls me into his embrace. I donโt even bother to open my eyes. Itโs been a wild few days. โOh Goddess, no,โ I complain. โHavenโt you had enough?โ He laughs breezily in my ear. โNeverโฆbut for now, yes.โ He flutters kisses over my jaw and neck. โHow do you feel?โ โLike I got run over by a penis-shaped bulldozer.โ โHey, you wanted it.โ I finally manage to drag my eyelids apart. โI did.โ I smile at my impressive mate. โThe first two days were great.โ โI know.โ He rolls away and swings his legs off the bed. โThe last day always feels more like a punishment than pleasure.โ I turn over onto my side and stare at his broad back, the strong muscles flexing under his skin. โNo regrets though, right?โ He looks over his shoulder at me. โNone.โ He gets up and stretches, scratching his ass as he walks to the bathroom. A minute later, I hear him open the tap. We donโt have electricity yet, but Iโm not so sure I miss it. Life is kind of peaceful without the cons

Kaneโs POV I sit on the couch in the dark living room, watching the glowing embers in the fireplace, trying to ignore the call of Willowโs heat and the fever that's trying to consume me. I'd go to her, but she's still asleep. tโs not time, she canโt feel it yet, but she will in another few hours. I should be sleeping, prepare myself properly this time, but I canโt switch my milling thoughts tumbling through my head off long enough so I can go to sleep. Iโve already sent orders out to bring the power stations back online and ordered our army to stand its ground. Thereโs nothing else to do now but wait for Clement to come back so we can finish up the peace agreement. In the absence of entertainment or imminent danger, the only thing I have to keep myself occupied is my own thoughts, and all I can think about is the possibility that Willow will get pregnant. Here, in the quiet of the night, all by myself, I have to admit the truth. I never want her to get pregnant again โ not becaus

Kaneโs POV For the next few hours, we talk about the meeting with Clement, the future, and a whole lot of nothing. Thereโs something comforting in it, just friends having a chat about life, love, and everything in between. I glance at my watch, surprised to see that it was well past midday. โThatโs it,โ I say and get up, stretching my too-tight muscles. โWeโre taking the week off. I don't know about you, but I've had enough of war to last me a lifetime.โ โShall I collect Adare?โ Zael asks on our way out. โNot yet. I donโtโฆWillow thinks heโll be safe here, but I want to make sure.โ โIf what she said about The Goddess is true, sheโs probably right. She hasnโt been wrong so far, has she?โ I scrunch up my face and rub my forehead. โI donโt know. I canโt think straight anymore.โ Zael nods. โI know the feeling.โ โDid you get any retaliation over the Raymond thing?โ โOf course I did.โ โAnd?โ โAnd nothing. I handled it...it won't come back to you.โ โDo you think this war is over?โ

Kane's POVIt had been weeks since we slept comfortably, and even though we both sort of hinted at passing the night making love, neither of us could actually gather the energy to do more than snuggle down in each otherโs arms.For the first time in weeks, perhaps months, I wake with a smile on my face, completely relaxed and almost happy. The only thing I need to complete my joy is my son, and he'll be here soon enough.I stretch languidly, and slip out from under Willow and go to the bathroom to get ready for my meeting with Clement. I hope against all hope that Willow misunderstood The Goddess and that there would be no human war. I hope, and I pray, that Clement would listen to my advice and stop it before it even starts.The castle is freezing, and Iโm shivering so much that I cut myself several times while I shave. Rattling like an excited dog, I run back to the bedroom, pull an extra blanket over Willow, then rush to the closet so I can dress in one of my suits and my long, thi
