THEIRS: BOUND TO THE ALPHA KINGS 13. My Alphas
ReynaThe woman's accusation makes my heart drop in my chest, but Malachi seems to be completely unfazed as he rolls his eyes. “Pardon me, beautiful,” he says and scoops me into his arms before he places me on Rune’s lap and gets to his feet. “I need to go and sort this out.”Rune wraps his arms around my waist and from the chocolate smell permeating the air, I know he’s trying to scent me to calm me down. What the heck is going on? Who is this woman?Malachi stalks towards her, and I see her flinching. “What do you think you’re doing here, Annabella? Did your father not speak with you about this?” he says in a low voice bordering on a growl.The blonde woman, Annabella, takes a step back as Malachi advances on her. “I, uh… yes, he did—”“Then why are you here? I explained to your father that this marriage cannot go ahead because I have met my mate. The Goddess’ will comes above duty,” he says in that same menacing tone, and even I get a shiver up my spine. “It’s okay, darling,” Run
THEIRS: BOUND TO THE ALPHA KINGS 14. Cassian's Heartache
ReynaMy head is still hazy from my interaction with all three Alphas and thankfully they’ve given me a few minutes alone. To be honest, everything in me is telling me to not hold back with them because they’re my mates, but there’s still an apprehensive voice in the back of my head.The voice that tells me these Alphas will hurt me if given the chance.Granted, I don’t know them that well yet and there must be secrets they’re hiding from me like Malachi’s fiancee. But I feel like falling headfirst into this without thinking could be a bad idea. I’ll be giving these men everything in me. How do I know they’ll do the same? A mate bond isn’t absolute, look at what Aiden did to me after I gave myself to him. Breathing out a sigh, I get to my feet and slowly pace Malachi’s bedroom. He had a few things to deal with, Rune had to give orders to his men and Cassian needed to inform his mother of what was happening.How Malachi is searching for an island for me so the three of us could stay
THEIRS: BOUND TO THE ALPHA KINGS 15. The Weight of the Crown
ReynaAfter spending dinner with the three Alphas and getting to know them a little better, I am now in a guest bedroom for the night before we leave for Cassian’s kingdom. Malachi has no more living relatives. After he was born, his father was so adamant Malachi would rule over everyone that he didn’t bother to have more. That’s quite an ambition to put on a little boy and to be honest, I get where Malachi’s confidence comes from now. Now I’m laying under plush covers in a king-sized bed, wearing nothing but a pair of panties and a tank top, wondering how I got here. A week ago the only thing I was looking forward to was the Hallowed Bond Ball and how it would change my life for the better. I just didn’t expect it would change in this way… I just wanted to escape the life I grew up in.As I followed Malachi, Cassian, and Rune throughout the day I couldn’t help but replay their words over and over in my head. Queen. Luna. Theirs.Titles I’d never dared to dream about, positions I
THEIRS: BOUND TO THE ALPHA KINGS 16. Warmonger King
ReynaAs the jet’s engines muted down, I cautiously step onto the metal staircase, instantly feeling the temperature drop. The cold air at high altitude nips at my face, a contrast to the cosy and luxurious atmosphere inside the plane with its soft leather seats and champagne. I can’t resist looking out into the distance, where Cassian’s castle stands tall.“Welcome to my kingdom, Reyna,” Cassian says proudly from behind me, his voice resonating with pride.The sight in front of me takes my breath away. It’s a fortress that stretches across the valley like a metallic creature. There is nothing inviting about it. It stands cold and resolute; a symbol of the warfare that thrives in this kingdom.“Wow…” I whisper, unable to tear my gaze away from the intimidating structure.“You can see why Cassian is called the Warmonger; he developed every modern weapon we have today. Both for our world as well as the humans across the seas,” Malachi says with a grin. “After he killed my father, we wer
THEIRS: BOUND TO THE ALPHA KINGS 17. Sister In Law From Hell
ReynaI used to think dinners with my step-mother and step-siblings were bad, but this was before I became Cassian’s mate and had to mingle with his sisters.Queen Deana was delightful as usual, but both Cassandra and Cleo were utter bitches toward me throughout the morning. Now we’re seated having tea and cakes together, and I can feel the hatred emanating from those two.I don’t understand it. They’re beautiful women who even have the same Alpha Blue eyes as Cassian. What could they possibly hate me for?“So, Reyna dear, tell us about yourself,” Queen Deana says, asking me the worst question at the worst time. “I know Alaric is your father, but he had you working as a maid the evening Cassian Sighted you?”Restrained giggles erupt from Cassandra and Cleo and now I wish the ground would swallow me whole. Queen Deana shoots them angry glances and they immediately stop, but I can see the glee on their faces.“Well, yes. I do not know my mother, and my father refused to tell me anything
THEIRS: BOUND TO THE ALPHA KINGS 18. Secret Lives and Lies
Reyna I gasp at the person standing at the foot of my bed, pulling the covers over my naked body. Fear stabs through me as I wonder what she could want, but then she shakes her head, and my eyes narrow. “Cleo? What are you doing here?” She puts a finger to her lips to tell me to stay quiet and walks towards me. “I wanted to apologise to you for my behaviour today. What my sister said was…it was awful,” she whispers. “I just wanted to make it clear to you.” I frown as I look at her, not understanding. “You both continued to insult me, making me feel like I don’t deserve Cassian—” “That’s not me, I promise!” she says in a hushed tone and sits on my bed. “I’m fine with you being his mate; he’s the happiest he has ever been since he became King and everyone can see it! It’s just…” She trails off her last sentence and laces her hands together on her lap, sighing and hanging her head. I don’t know why, but I feel uneasy with her silence. “Cassandra… she has an unhealthy obsession with
THEIRS: BOUND TO THE ALPHA KINGS 19. A King's Choice
RuneThese past few days have been different and even though I appear confident about the direction my life is headed, deep inside I am terrified.I never expected to meet my second chance mate, not after the brutal way my first got taken away from me five years ago. To think I never wanted to attend the Hallowed Bond Ball but Troy convinced me that it would look bad on my kingdom if I didn’t.And now I’ve gone and broken the heart of the only person I trusted and cared about.Sighing, I carefully pull my cell phone out of my pocket and Reyna stirs. She has her head on my lap and has fallen asleep while we’re traveling from Cassian’s kingdom to mine. He had to stay behind to sort out a few last-minute things with his council, so it’s just me and Malachi here with her.My thoughts go back to the way Malachi touched me the other night and I shiver at the memory. Reyna liked what she saw; the interaction between us turned her on and I never expected it to.How would she react if I had to
THEIRS: BOUND TO THE ALPHA KINGS 20. Protector, Heart and Soul
Reyna[Contains a few short M/M scenes, but nothing too explicit. You can scroll past it if it makes you uncomfortable, but more will come later on as the book progresses.]I am walking with Malachi and Rune somewhere for the evening wearing nothing but a silk nightgown. After the banquet where I met too many people, we retired to our little getaway and I am lit up with excitement.“How much farther?” I chuckle, the silk blindfold over my eyes blocking out my sight. “Can I at least have one clue?”As if to answer me, the blindfold is lifted from my eyes and I gasp at the sight in front of me. A secluded waterfall surrounded by black obsidian glass and a lush forest. I can’t hear a thing save for the gentle gushing water.“Oh my…” I gasp as I look at the beauty all around me. “This is beautiful.”“Yes, it is,” Malachi says as he wraps his arms around my waist while holding me from behind. He undoes the bow holding my nightgown together, and it slips from my body, pooling at my feet. I
