Alpha's Fated Mates Chapter 18
Lilith's POV:I wondered what he wanted to ask me. "Go on and ask then," I replied with a smile. "Promise first, promise me that you won't get mad," he said. "I promise, I won't get mad." "Okay, I have been meaning to ask why you haven't stood up to your mother yet. You are an adult now; you should stop letting her treat you like an outcast." I knew he was right; I have thought about it several times too. "I guess I just haven't summoned the courage to do so," I replied. We were already at my doorstep. I looked at him, forcing a smile. "Well, I guess this is where we say our goodbyes," I said. "Yeah, I guess so." His eyes were filled with concern as he looked at me. He was troubled for my sake. "I guess I will see you tomorrow then," he said after hesitating for a while. I simply nodded, and he left. He didn't know the real reason why I couldn't leave my mother just yet. It wasn't just because I lacked courage; it was also because I didn't have anywhere else to go. If I chall

Alpha Joe's POV:Lilian was about to get up from the bed to check who was at the door, but I motioned for her to stay back. I didn't want my princess to feel stressed. I got up, put on my dress, and went to see who had come. Since Lilian was with me, I couldn't just yell for them to come in, so I decided to check myself.I opened the door, and there stood a royal guard. I recognized him immediately; he was one of the king's personal guards. Why was he here? I stared at him with furrowed brows, urging him to speak."Good day, my Prince," he said."Is there a problem?" I asked hastily instead of just replying to his greeting. I was in no mood for pleasantries right now; I needed to take a nap for a while, anyone trying to deprive me of that as he was, was considered an enemy."The king, your father, asked me to come and remind you of the special royal dinner taking place tonight.""Oh Shit!" I smacked my hand on my head, it was actually today. I had completely forgotten. I nodded to him
Alpha's Fated Mates Chapter 20
Lilith's POVIt was just the two of us who had come. We arrived a little bit earlier than the normal opening time of the bar. I didn't know about him, but my reason for always coming early these days was because of him. I wanted to have a few minutes to spend alone with just him before others arrived."Hey beautiful," he said as I reached the counter where he stood. I blushed at his words. He always had a way of making me feel special. He was too good with words. If I didn't know any better, I would think he was a womanizer.Well, technically, women threw themselves at him. I have seen both our co-workers and even customers come up to him and tell him they fancy him, but he always had a way of turning them down politely. He even told one gorgeous customer who pestered him that he had a girlfriend."That must be it," I thought. I felt a little bit jealous when I heard him say that, but that singular act of his made my respect level for him shoot through the roof. Not only was he extrem

Alpha Joe's POVI consoled Lilian for a while until she eventually fell asleep in my arms. A few moments later, the royal physician came back with a bottle of herbs he had mixed for her."This would help with the fever, my Prince," he said softly."Do I need to wake her up or just wait till she wakes before giving it to her?" I wanted to know what to do."I am afraid we need to wake her up, my prince. The drug has a calming effect and would eventually make her sleep as I added a little sleeping potion into it," he replied as he held out his hand, showing me the bottle. I couldn't take it from him, so I motioned for him to drop it on the table beside the bed. He did, then bowed and turned around to leave."Where are you going?" I asked, stopping him in his tracks. He turned around, a look of confusion etched all over his face. My brows furrowed at the sight."Aren't you going to give instructions on how the herbal medicine will be taken?" I quizzed. Was I the one who was supposed to te

Alpha Joe's POVHe heaved a long sigh and thought for a while before speaking, "I hear it is a plague that broke out in their lands. It has already killed 6 people, with a few others currently quarantining as they have caught the illness too.""That is so pathetic," I replied, thinking of what could actually be the cause of this plague.I looked at my father; he was tapping his finger on the arm of the chair where his hand rested. His forehead was creased, his jaws clenched. He looked deep in thought."When do I leave, father?" I inquired, interfering with his thoughts as he immediately looked at me blankly for a moment. When what I had said registered, he replied, "as soon as you can, son.""Alright Father, I will leave tomorrow morning." He nodded his head in response and reached for the bottle I had seen him drinking the other time, opened it, and drank its content in one gulp."Are you unwell, father?" I asked.He looked at me, and the corner of his mouth spasmed a bit before turn
Alpha's Fated Mates Chapter 23
Alicia's POVI looked around, and there was no one else but the two of them. I was scared of what might happen if they decided to fight me; I cannot fight against them. Two against one, that wouldn't be a fair fight. I remembered each of them getting physical with me once. I had been slapped across the face."Why do you look scared, Sweetheart?" Sophia asked as a wicked smile spread across her face."I am not scared of you!" I spat, wondering where my newfound boldness came from."She said she is not scared," Seline said, throwing a glance at Sophia, who returned the glance before staring at me in disdain."Well, how about now?" Seline asked as she charged at me, pushed me to the ground, and grabbed my hair. I felt excruciating pain; my wolf begged to come out, but I suppressed it; I didn't want trouble. She already wasn't capable of healing herself; what if I shifted, and the others decide to shift too and scar me badly? What then would become of me? I thought."Leave me alone! What
Alpha's Fated Mates Chapter 24
Lilith's POV:I looked at the actress who stood before me; her face and voice were a complete contrast. I was the only one who could see her face as Adrian's back was turned to her. She sneered wickedly, and a sinister smile registered on her face. I didn't want to have further issues with her, so I replied."I fell down on my way to work.""Oh, I am so sorry," she replied, coming into Adrian's view. Sophia had also joined her, and they both acted nice and kind. I couldn't believe what was happening in front of me - how could the same person responsible for what happened to me now start pretending to care about me?"Come with me," she said gently, pulling me by the hand. I looked at Adrian with pleading eyes. He immediately placed his hand on hers that was holding me."Stop, she's not going anywhere with you," he growled. She looked at him and smiled, saying, "Don't worry, Adrian. I only want to help her," as a smile crept across her face.With raised brows, Adrian asked, "Oh really?
Alpha's Fated Mates Chapter 25
Alpha Joe's POV:I was astounded. Did he really say it was because of a woman? Did I hear correctly? I needed to ask again to be sure."You said it's all because of a woman?" I quizzed."You heard right, Joe. This is all a woman's doing," he said through gritted teeth, clearly angry at this woman, whoever she was.Curiosity got the better of me, and I asked, "What exactly happened, Nicholas?"He took a deep breath and exhaled, "It all started a few weeks ago when a sorceress was apprehended in the midst of our pack." He looked at his father and continued, "It's an abiding law in our land that sorcerers are not welcome here, and if found, they will be burnt at the stake."I nodded, urging him to continue. The law in their land wasn't news to me; my father had once told me about it. However, in our lands, sorcerers were welcomed as long as they didn't cause any trouble. I also learned that it was a sorceress who had revealed my mother's dubious act to my father, which prevented him from
