I Heard My Mate’s Mistress’s Thoughts, and Stole Her Alpha King Chapter 9
Not long after, I formally inherited my uncle’s title as Alpha, and my mating ceremony with Damien was set on the calendar within weeks.In front of others we played the part of devoted mates. Only the two of us knew the truth: it was a marriage of alliance.He’d just taken the throne and needed a strong pack to lock in his rule. I needed the Alpha King’s resources for mine.With the gift of hearing thoughts, my pack thrived under me. I won the loyalty of every wolf I led.Lucian’s story went the opposite way.After his father threw him out, everyone learned he was a bastard child. He couldn’t go anywhere in the pack without being pushed down, and even junior clerks ignored him.When he’d run out of options, he came to me.I don’t know how he found my address. I opened my door one day and there he was, Lucian, hollow-faced, sitting on my front steps.The arrogance was gone. He was unshaven and his clothes were filthy. He looked like a beggar.“Aurora. Please. Help me.”I gave him one l

After the ceremony, Serena came walking over.She put on her shy, devoted look and gazed up at Damien. “Why didn’t you tell me you were the heir? We could’ve avoided this whole mess.”“Now that it’s cleared up, can we start over?”One minute she was sneering at Damien as a country bumpkin, the next she was rubbing herself against him, all soft and yielding. The whiplash was almost impressive.She waited, hopeful. The next second, Damien tucked me into his side.He looked at her, flat. “Sorry. I’m engaged.”The look she gave me could have drawn blood. If a glare were a weapon, I’d have been in pieces on the floor.‘This woman dumped her boyfriend for being broke, and now that he’s the Alpha King she’s crawling back? How thick is her skin?’‘Lucian was just mocking the Alpha King a second ago. Now he sees what he stepped in.’‘That whole pack’s done in werewolf society.’The thoughts kept coming, gleeful and mocking, every one of them.People started inching away from Lucian. Nobody want

That weekend, the Alpha King announced he’d found his long-lost son and invited every royal in the kingdom to the recognition banquet.It would also be the day he stepped down and named the new Alpha King.I arrived wearing the couture gown Damien had sent over.The banquet hall blazed with light. Servers in pressed black tie threaded through the crowd. Alphas from every major pack wore polite, businesslike smiles, trading flattery.I scanned the room for Damien.Before I found him, a sharp voice cut in.“Aurora? How the hell did you get in?”I turned. Lucian, in a suit that cost more than most cars, was looking me up and down like I’d tracked mud through the room.“This banquet is for royalty. Not country bumpkins like you. That dress is a knockoff, isn’t it? I never realized how pathetic you could be.”The man was a scumbag with no eye for quality. The single gemstone on my gown was worth more than every thread on his body, and he wanted to call it a knockoff.I laughed. “You should

I threw what I’d brought into the air: hotel records, photos of their meetings, all of it.I’d put this file together to bring out during the dissolution talks. Looked like I’d be using it sooner than planned.Paper rained down across the lobby. Serena saw what was in it and the color left her face. Her hands started to shake, and the denial was written all over her.“I’ve got more in here. Want to see?”I was reaching for the rest when a hand stopped me.Lucian snatched the documents and tore them apart, livid. “Aurora. Enough. The pack already lost a major partnership because of you. You want to make it worse?”I laughed. “Maybe don’t sleep with someone else’s girlfriend, then. You’re the one who screwed up, and you’re hanging it on me. How did I never notice what an asshole you are?”His face was awful, but he had nothing to say. Finally he spoke.“It’s money, isn’t it? Fine. Take half my assets. Happy?”I didn’t want his pocket change. I just wanted to put him under some financial

The Lucian-and-Serena story tore through the pack. My uncle showed up with the partnership cancellation papers.“I don’t believe an Alpha who can’t be loyal to his own family makes a good leader. I’m sorry. I can’t move forward with this.”Lucian stared at the contract, ashen. He opened his mouth to argue, but Uncle Marcus cut him off.“This is for the sake of my own pack’s reputation. I can’t have a partner in the middle of a scandal. Whatever you say doesn’t change my decision.”He turned and walked out without looking back.The moment he was outside, my phone buzzed.Aurora. It’s done.I was stretched out on my couch at home, counting up everything I planned to take from Lucian in the settlement. The message made me smile.The scandal already had the old Alpha pissed at Lucian. Now you’ve personally pulled the partnership, that’s salt in the wound. The old man’s going to come down on him hard. He won’t last much longer in that pack.A second later, a mind-link from Lucian.He told m

Morning. I opened my phone.The hashtag LucianValeCheating was trending right at the top, exactly as I’d hoped.The video showed two naked bodies tangled in a hotel bed. You didn’t need much imagination to figure out what they were doing.Because Lucian was the Alpha’s son, no one dared go after him directly. All the heat landed on Serena.The comments under the video were brutal.Knew this woman was trash. Going after another woman’s mate, no shame.Poor Aurora. Worked herself half to death and got cheated on for her trouble.I scrolled through with quiet satisfaction, then put my phone away and headed to the office.The place was already in chaos when I got there. Serena’s eyes were swollen from crying, and a shattered phone lay at her feet.I walked straight up and slapped her across the face.The room went silent. Serena crumpled with her palm pressed to her cheek, sobbing.The noise brought Lucian out of his office. He took one look, shoved past me to check on her, then turned on

Damien became the target in seconds. Someone pushed him down and tried to force him to his knees to apologize.That was my cue. I stepped in and grabbed his arm.“I saw it. They started it. Damien was defending himself.”Lucian’s face tightened, and his thoughts came through loud and clear.‘Why is

Serena would have died before believing it. The Lucian she’d staked everything on was just a bastard, and the Damien she sneered at was the real heir.Halfway through the banquet, the alcohol caught up to Lucian. I told my assistant to take him upstairs to rest, but Serena cut in first.She lifted L

So this was what mind-reading got me. My mate had been sleeping with Serena Hale behind my back for who knew how long, and the broke boyfriend Serena had been turning her nose up at was the heir to the Alpha King himself.The perfect revenge laid itself out in my head, piece by piece.It was evening
