Alpha's Mate Chapter 20
RACHAEL'S POVI woke up disoriented in a gorgeously decorated room with soft pink walls. The air smelled faintly of roses, but it was quickly overshadowed by the pain in my thigh as I tried to sit up."Ouch!" I exclaimed, feeling a sharp twinge in my leg. I lifted the duvet, revealing a bandage tightly wound around my injured thigh. "What happened? Why am I hurt?"As the throbbing pain in my head intensified, the memories flooded back. "I remember now. I was in the woods, and a woman shot me with an arrow!" I gasped, my voice filled with a mixture of fear and disbelief.I struggled to my feet and made my way to the locked doors. "Damn, they're locked!" I murmured, frustration seeping into my voice. The windows offered no escape either, as they too were locked shut. Through the glass, I could see the surrounding trees, confirming my suspicions that I was still stranded in the woods.As I paced around the room, my eyes fell upon a framed photograph resting on a nearby dresser. I picked

ALPHA AXEL'S POVAs the queen's request reached my ears, my heart skipped a beat. I knew this conversation would be of great importance, and I couldn't help but feel a mix of anticipation and anxiety. Athena, sensed the gravity of the situation and gracefully excused herself from the dining hall. Struggling with her crutches, she leaned on me for support, and I steadied her with a gentle touch."Thank you," Athena whispered, her voice filled with gratitude as she slowly made her way out of the room. With a nod, I watched her leave, knowing she understood the weight of the impending discussion.Once Athena had departed, the queen motioned for me to take a seat beside her. As I settled into the chair, the queen's piercing gaze met mine, and I could sense the seriousness in her expression. It was clear that she had something important to say."I know you love Racheal," the queen began, her voice measured and calm. "But you must understand that it is time for you to move on."My heart sa

Racheal's POVI stood by my window, gazing out at the backyard where the Hallow Sisters Coven was hosting their barbecue party. The air was filled with laughter and the tantalizing aroma of grilled food wafted through the air from my window. As I watched, the door behind me creaked open, and I turned to see my mom entering the room."Hey, sweetie," she said with a warm smile. "Why don't you come downstairs and join us? The coven has been waiting for you."I hesitated, feeling a wave of shyness wash over me. "I don't know, Mom," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper. "I'm not sure they'll like me. I mean, I'm part wolf, and they're witches."Mom stepped closer, her eyes filled with understanding. "Darling, you are one of them. They've been waiting for you for years. You belong with the coven, just as much as you belong with the wolves."I sighed, my gaze dropping to the floor. "But Mom, I've always felt like an outsider. I don't know if I can fit in."She gently placed a hand on

Alpha Axel's POVAs I decided to go hunting alone, I walked down the hall, my mind preoccupied with thoughts of the day's pursuits. Suddenly, I saw the queen emerging from her room. My heart raced as I tried to turn back, but it was too late. She had already spotted me."Ah, there you are," she said, her voice commanding. "Come back here, I insist. Join me for breakfast."I hesitated, knowing the implications of being alone with the queen, but her gaze brooked no argument. "I... I suppose I could join you," I replied, my voice uncertain.As we sat in the dining hall, Athena entered, apologizing for her lateness. I averted my eyes, unable to meet hers after what had transpired between us the night before. She greeted me, and I grumbled in response."Is everything alright?" Athena asked, concern evident in her voice. "Do you need to talk about anything?"I knew exactly what she was referring to, but I couldn't let the queen catch wind of the fact that I had spent the night with Athena.

Racheal's POVAs I woke up and headed downstairs, the pain from my wound seemed to have subsided, and I could feel myself getting better with each step. As I reached the bottom of the stairs, I found my mom in the kitchen, with Hilary and Hailey busily assisting her in preparing breakfast."Morning, Mom," I greeted, a small smile forming on my face.Mom turned towards me, a mixture of relief and concern in her eyes. "Good morning, darling! How are you feeling today?""Much better, Mom," I replied, relieved. "My wound seems to be healing up nicely, and I can walk better now.""That's great to hear," she said, a warm smile spreading across her face. "Why don't you sit and wait for breakfast to be ready? You've been through a lot."I nodded and took a seat at the kitchen table, my gaze turning towards Hilary and Hailey's activities.

ALPHA AXEL'S POVAs I approached my car, ready to head out, a sinking feeling washed over me. I realized I had left my phone behind. I can be so absent minded sometimes. Sighing, I turned around and walked back into the house to retrieve it.As I entered my room, I froze in my tracks. There, standing by the window, was Athena, holding my phone in her hands. Confusion and anger merged within me, and I couldn't help but blurt out, "What are you doing in my room?"Athena's brown eyes widened, and she began to stammer, clearly caught off guard by my sudden arrival. "I... I didn't mean to intrude. I just found your phone here, and I was about to return it."My frustration intensified. I held out my hand, demanding, "Why are you with my phone then?"Athena took a step back, seemingly flustered. "I... I was just... I mean, I saw that Rachel had been trying to reach her for days."My heart quickened its pace. Rachel, whom I had been desperately trying to get in touch with. My mind raced with

Alpha Axel's POVI woke up with a pounding headache, my mouth dry and aching. The room was dimly lit, the curtains drawn shut. It had been two weeks since I last saw Rachael. Two weeks of unanswered calls and unanswered prayers. I had been drowning my sorrows in alcohol, my only companion in this lonely room.As I lay there, contemplating the meaninglessness of it all, a sudden burst of sunlight pierced the darkness and assaulted my eyes. I groaned and turned my face away, shielding my eyes from the intrusive brightness. I heard a rustling sound and a soft voice, which made me reluctantly open my eyes.There, standing by the window, was the queen herself. The queen, with her regal poise and a warm smile. She had always been supportive of me, reminding me of my responsibilities as an Alpha. She was the reason I had a pack to care for, to lead and protect. But lately, I had lost sight of that, lost in my own despair."Alpha," she said gently, her voice carrying the weight of concern. "

Banished for just two weeks, and already Axel had made up his mind to marry Athena. The pain in my chest was unbearable, a constant ache that refused to subside.Unable to bear the suffocating atmosphere any longer, I decided to take a walk. Perhaps the cool night air would clear my head, even if just for a moment. Slipping out of my room, I made my way to the back of the house, seeking solace in the darkness.As I sat on the porch steps, the night enveloped me, its silence broken only by the distant hoot of an owl. I longed to escape, to run wild and free in my wolf form. It had always been my sanctuary, a way to release the pent-up emotions that threatened to consume me. But tonight, as I closed my eyes and focused on the transformation, nothing happened.Frustration welled up inside me, mingling with the hurt t
