20. You Are My Mate
“Walk where?” Sybil asked and caught her gaze moving over him. He was wearing a dark shirt that hugged him well. She bit her lip for a moment, but collected herself.
“How much of the keep have you seen? I feel that you have been living down here since you arrived. I did say you wouldn’t be a captive or jailed. Feels a bit like I’m lying if you just stay down here where there isn’t even a window.” He glanced back at her stepping and motioned for her to go through the door first. She felt a tiny smile at the chivalrous display.
“Not much, and there has been a great need here. So it was self imposed nothing to feel odd about.” She told him as they went into the hall and walked together. It felt easy and natural to walk side by side. He automatically shortened his stride to hers and she found herself walking just slightly faster but neither realized i

“I’m not your kind. I can’t be a mate.” Sybil suddenly said and she felt this kind of panic. There was no way. Look at him, look at who and what he was. She was just… Sybil. Sure she helped some people. The very idea of what he was saying seemed too much. How could she be a mate as he called it to someone rather powerful? “You are. Kind does not matter. Mate to us are recognized by a soul Sybil.” His tone was rather sharp. “Why can’t you be mine?” He nearly demanded it. She realized that he might think she meant that she was too good or something. That maybe she looked down on him. That wasn’t what she meant and now she had to explain. She was horrible at this kind of thing. “Well, look at me Aries. I’m kind of pathetically mortal, how could I possibly be? This must be rather disappointing for you.” She wasn’t sure if she was hoping to hear that h
Mate of an Alpha Prime 22. Conflicting Thoughts
Normally Sybil liked to work and think through something. Not this time, she found herself standing there and several times screwed up what she was trying. She just straight up stopped trying to work on things. She had the tonic ready and the witch healers should be here soon. So she was looking forward to that distraction. She could focus on that.She was filling the time pulling books off the shelf in the library that was a level above the stores. She had mentally told Aries that she was going up here. Mainly because she honestly thought he’d come find her and pin her to something again if she didn’t. That made her feel so many things. Her mind was a hot mess about it. Her body felt this rush thinking about how it had felt now that he wasn’t right here. He felt like a man should, in her opinion. Strong and let her feel feminine. She also hated how easily she seemed to blush, becau
Mate of an Alpha Prime 23. The Healers
Sybil took a breath and steadied herself to see Aries. Yes they were here to meet the healers but being around him suddenly made her feel nervous. Sybil and Morris came down the hall and into a nice sized open entryway. There were two large intricately carved wooden doors. Just looking at them, she knew that protection had been woven into the doors. They had large hinges and massive door handles. They were beautiful with their swirling patterns and old script on them. However there was a much smaller door built into the one and that was open. As she and Morris came into the room others were coming in from outside. You could feel the chill from the open door. Morris excused himself and left.Sybil saw Aries standing there. He was imposing as always and her gaze couldn’t help but look him over. His tall stature, muscular build and rather stoic face added to him. Clearly he was in Prime mode or whatever
Mate of an Alpha Prime 24. Never Blindly Trust
“At this rate I’m not sure I want to drink it.” Daral mumbled to Kal that was standing next to him. Aries had to leave as he was needed elsewhere. His position did not give him all that much free time. He had to see to his people and their needs. The requests coming in and also the portals. There was a threat again, and while they had been here Kal had come up. Kal informed him that a few ghoul like creatures were creeping around the edges of the woods looking up toward the caves. They were all very aware of who probably sent them. However with Aries leaving he asked Kal to stay.“I mean Sybil seems to know what she’s doing.” They were watching the three women that were in a kind of empty workroom. They had put several tables together. A fire was going in the hearth down the way. It warmed the room, but was also being used by the witches. There were jars and all so
Mate of an Alpha Prime 25. The Real Enemy
A dark haired man stood before a medium sized cave entrance. His yellow eyes were void of kinder things. He curled a lip at the entrance pissed at how long it was taking. This cave system was massive and he could not find another way to get his creatures up the mountain without being noticed. He glanced up toward the snow covered peaks. Velex nearly hissed displeasure looking in the direction of the keep with the race he hated most. One that had nearly killed him. “I’ll kill them if it’s the last thing I do.” He meant that too. Velex felt a rage thinking about the last Prime left and how fucking hard it was to kill the son of a bitch. All his attempts were failing, he was now angry that he had no word form Jorogumo. None of her little spiders had crept down the mountain in some time. She was supposed to contact once a month. His gaze came back to
Mate of an Alpha Prime 26. Something for You
Sybil sighed looking up from the book that she was reading through. Her gaze looked over the back of the soft couch she was sitting on. Her gaze was thoughtful and looked out the window. She rubbed her healed shoulder. Just a faint pink scar now.Several days had passed since the incident with Varla. She knew that Aries had killed her. Sybil wished he didn’t have to but she also understood. As much as Sybil wished there wasn’t violence in the world. in this one you could not afford to be soft. Aries couldn’t, all she could hope was that it was just and decisions were made fairly. She may have angered her, but Sybil was not one for cruelty.Over the past few days, she had only seen Aries a handful of times. He’d always asked how her shoulder was healing, clearly not liking she was wounded. She secretly kind of like the constant anno
Mate of an Alpha Prime 27. A Gentle Kiss
Sybil heard his deeper laugh at her comment as they moved into the new area. This one was older and different. Still a greenhouse of a type. There were plants growing here but most looked sad or unhealthy. Still she noted some very rare plants in here. Her mind instantly identifying them and logging them away. This was an area that had flora for her craft or other uses. Instantly she had the urge to move forward and start interacting with the flora. She sighed inwardly, she really did have multilayers to her talent. What Niba had said seemed to make more sense now. “This part seems old. It has so much in here.” The floors were stone and the whole place was a dome. She could see that this had been a type of greenhouse for a long time. There was even a kind of tree growing in the center. If her senses were right it was an Ancestry Tree. In the plant world they were considered immortal flora that didn’t die
Mate of an Alpha Prime 28. Feeling Secure
Aries looked at the burning pyre. It was being used to dispose of the ghouls and few demon creatures that Aries and his warriors had spent the last three days hunting down. They had cleared the woods and were now setting up a stronger perimeter. They had to clear them as it was obvious that the numbers were slowly growing. Aries could not let that happen. Now the area was clear and several of his were moving around purifying the area. This would send a message to Velex as well. He was clearly responsible for all of it.Aries glanced up at the blue sky. Honestly he couldn’t remember the last time the sun was out. It was glaring on the snow. Still the warmth of it felt nice, and perhaps the snow would melt some. He’d been told that other groups were also fighting back or trying to. It was still hard everywhere. Mortals, even with magic struggled with the darker creatures that were taking ov
