last update publish date: 2026-05-02 20:10:23

My family had proved time and again to be the bane of my existence.

While my father was tolerable, hoping to keep me under his control by doing so, my brother dedicated so much time and effort to making my life miserable.

Lucien's voice echoed through the room, causing Alexandra to flinch. She had been skittish since my arrival, glancing around the room nervously.

Something was bothering her, but her lips snapped shut the moment Lucien's fist touched the door.

I released her hand, standing

  • Mated to the Alpha Heir   Chapter 14: Marcus

    Her strawberry, citrus scent was impossible to miss. Even after my father shoved the door open, scanning the empty hallway, I still had no doubt that she'd been here.Not that she was at fault. Tonight should have been one of the best of her life, only to end up ruined because of her monster of a mate."I swear I heard someone make a sound." Lucien grunted, eyes darting across the hallway like the culprit would miraculously appear.Unable to keep it in, a small chuckle fell from my lips. My mate really was a quick one. Smart too.Both of them turned, glaring at me for my reaction."Is something funny, Marcus?" Lucien asked, eyes narrowed."Not particularly. I didn't hear anything though, perhaps you aren't feeling well. Have you considered seeing a healer?"This was my chance to finally escape this conversation. It was one we'd had time and again in the past, and it always ended the same way. With my father too afraid of me to confront my actions, but too proud to back down either."I

  • Mated to the Alpha Heir   Chapter 13: Alexandra

    Something went wrong the moment his arms wrapped around me.His skin burned against mine. Not in a calm, savoury way that matched the feel of the bond.It burned. My hands pressed against his broad, hard chest, attempting to push him off. "Marcus..."He gave no response as his fingers ran through my hair before shoving the strands off my neck.Even before his teeth grazed my bared neck, it was clear what was to follow, yet something in me fought it off.The man on top of me now couldn't be the same mate that had brought me to this room. "Marcus, you're hurting me."That seemed to awaken something inside him. He pulled away, blinking rapidly like someone who just woke from a dream. "Alexandra?""It's me. Just me." Despite my efforts to sound calm, there was still an edge of caution laced into each word.He nodded, hesitating before pushing himself off the bed. "I should leave you to get settled then. You can bring your clothes in, I already made space in the closet.""But we haven't...

    "You feel it too?"Alexandra's head snapped up to face me, nearly losing her balance if not for the white cloth still holding us together. "The bond. You can feel it?"She nodded slowly, dropping her gaze back to the knot tied over our hands."We can take it off once we get to my chambers. Once we consummate, it should be easier to tame. The bond, I mean." My throat felt dry and the wound on my palm stung where the skin had split.But that was almost completely irrelevant. She had stayed.After what she'd seen last night, it wouldn't have surprised me if I'd stood at that altar for the rest of the night and walked away by dawn without a mate.That was enough for a reason for me to pledge myself to her. "Consummate?" She whispered, eyes widening.It dawned on me then that since she was so clueless about everything about a mating ceremony, she wouldn't know what it meant to consummate one either."It's the final step to seal the bond. It's supposed to feel good and I promise to be gen

    "Wait...did you see...?" I turned around, swirling the dress along with me. Haelenya glanced around the room before settling her gaze back on me. "See who?" "Irina. My...maid." The last word still felt odd on my tongue. It was one thing to let her serve me, but entirely different to acknowledge the fact that someone was readily attending to all my needs. "I didn't even know a maid had been assigned to you." She shrugged, scanning the room nervously once more before focusing on me. "It's time. Let's not keep your mate waiting." Something stirred inside me, deeper than anticipation. My heart squeezed in a way that actually made me feel happy. Was this what Irina had meant? I'd never want to be away from him. Support him even when he did wrong. Haelenya led me to what I assumed was the throne room. The large stone doors were shut, though a red carpet had been laid out at the center of the hallway. She walked forward, knocking on the door lightly. Seconds later, it was pulled open,

    The girl, Haelenya, kept smiling. Irina glanced up at me, her silver hair falling into her face to mask it. “I will leave you two alone to speak. Call me if you need anything, my lady.” Before I could plead with her to stay, Irina darted out of the room, bowing lowly to the blonde before leaving, still hiding her face. “How odd.” Haelenya turned back to me, beaming like my presence didn't rob her of her chance of being luna. “I'm sorry for barging in so suddenly. Marcus wouldn't let me go anywhere until I checked on you.” “Checked on me?” “Yes, he could sense you were awake. And since he's not allowed to come to you, I'm here to do just that.” She seemed overjoyed to do so, not at all bothered by what I might've unknowingly stolen from her. “You seem so confused.” She laughed, pressing a hand to her chest. “I'm Haelenya. Basically your new sister-in-law considering Marcus is like a brother to me.” “I... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to intrude on your lives. Last night just happened

  • Mated to the Alpha Heir   Chapter 9: Alexandra's POV

    Everything happened in a blur.The guards surrounded Alpha Damarus, prepared to protect their Alpha, then they all dropped to the floor, shaking violently."Marcus, control yourself. This is not the time for you to lose your senses." For the first time since I'd met him, Alpha Damarus's voice wavered, like even he was afraid of Marcus.My eyes shifted from the soldiers collapsed on the floor to my mate, approaching his father with dead eyes.Whatever curse it was Marcus had must have been the reason for all his extraordinary abilities, messing with the weather, killing people so easily, and bringing so many warriors to their knees without doing anything.But all that had come with a price, and it seemed Marcus was still paying it.I scooted forward on my hands and knees, the towel wrapped around my body nearly falling off. "Alpha. Marcus, it's me."Marcus stopped, tilting his head towards me and growling."It's Alexandra."Before another word could leave my lips, he growled again, onl

    The Ashclaw packhouse was exactly as the stories described.Large. So large one could get lost in the halls for days. The carriage had carried us past the outer gate where the town was, and stopped at the ancestral packhouse.“Welcome back, Alpha Damarus.” A woman stepped out of the large palace-li

    My body recoiled as my father approached, along with the other members of the Ashclaw Pack who had come for Nathan’s ceremony.Mother followed a few feet behind, her face clouded with worry.“Alpha Damarus, I do apologize for my outburst earlier. I was simply shocked by what happened. Perhaps we co

  • Mated to the Alpha Heir   Chapter 3: Marcus's POV

    My mate offered almost no struggle, following me out quietly. My father’s words occupied my mind like weeds, too stubborn to die down, but the bond chased off the echo quickly.We walked toward the edge of the grounds where the convoy of my pack was. In the harsh sunlight, the bruises that painted

    “That’s Alpha Marcus, heir of the Ashclaw Pack!”“Did he just call that omega servant his mate?”The room erupted into loud murmurs, which only subsided when the man, Marcus, tore his gaze from me to the guests.The Ashclaw Pack. They were known for their large territory and merciless mentality. An
