EZRA

Tarius walked beside me, shoulders rigid and silent as we left the council chamber. I did not glance back. Their eyes still crawled along my spine, their reverence and fear mixed with something I couldn't name.

The corridor opened into a vast court carved of black stone, its high arches whispering of battles long past. The stars blinked above like waiting eyes. I stepped into the light and stopped.

Ahead stood the throne.

It rose from the stone like a blade out of a wound, tall and stark, carved into the curled sweep of a wolf’s tail. Its edges were jagged but elegant, smoothed by the bodies of kings and warlords long buried beneath these grounds. I had seen this throne before. When I had been summoned by Anarion and asked to fight alongside him.

Now it was mine.

Tarius stopped beside me, his voice low.

“This belongs to you now. The blood in your veins, your command, your wolf. The people know it. They feel it. We all do.”

I said nothing. I only stared. The throne was not a seat

  • The Alpha King's Human Mate    117

    JACQUELINEDays had passed since Mom told me about the platinum card. Since then, neither of us had brought it up again. Not over breakfast. Not while watching TV. Not even when she was refilling the cat’s bowl with the kibble she ordered online using her own card instead of his.It was almost like we had silently agreed to forget it.But the thing was, the cat was still here.Her soft pawsteps on the wooden floor, the little meows she made when she wanted food or attention, they reminded me that Ezra had been here. That he had come to our doorstep, dropped her off, and handed us a credit card that glimmered like something out of a movie.If not for that cat, I might have convinced myself it was all a dream. That I had never met him. That I had not fallen for him, hard and fast, like an idiot. That I had not kissed him in a drunken haze. Or felt his fingers against my skin like they had belonged there forever. Or watched him disappear without saying goodbye.But forgetting Ezra was ha

  • The Alpha King's Human Mate    Chapter 116

    EZRAThe weight of the court doors echoed behind me as I stepped into the outer corridor, the cold air tugging at the back of my neck.I was dressed in a black cloak that swept the cold floor of the corridor. After years of wearing shirts, cottons, and suits, I found this oddly discomforting.It was going to take a while to get used to these heavy fabrics again.I turned down the hall that led to the main court, each step slow but deliberate. The scent of torch smoke clung to the ceiling. The walls were carved in dark stone, etched with symbols older than the kingdom itself.As I reached the throne room, I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around just in time to see Tarius slip through the door.He was wearing a cloak almost identical to mine, and he looked very comfortable in it.“Good morning, Alpha. Did you sleep well?”I gave a low nod without taking my eyes off him.“I slept very well, Tarius,” I finally answered.“Alpha,” he said, bowing his head deeply. “Forgive me. There sho

    JACQUELINE“Gone for good?” I repeated, blinking at my mom like she’d grown a second head.She nodded slowly, grabbing her spoon and beginning to dig into her plate of lasagna. She was acting perfectly calm. But why wouldn’t she?She wasn’t the one who’d signed up for his classes. She wasn’t the one who had kissed him at Sammy’s party just to get back at her cheating ex. She wasn’t the one who’d fallen in love with him and was now learning that he probably was never going to come back.“What do you mean gone for good? Did he tell you that? Did Ezra say something?” Surely, he must have said something.Had his visit that night really been for me? Would he have told me he was leaving if I’d just driven straight home after our sexual encounter?She hesitated. “Well... not exactly. He didn’t say the words gone for good. But when someone shows up at your door, drops off their cat, and hands you their platinum card like it’s a spare pair of socks, it says something.”My head jerked up. “Wai

    EZRAI moved to the window where Araya had stood and took in the houses littered across the streets of Grim.And for a moment, I almost believed that if I stared out into the distance hard enough, I’d be able to tell what she had been thinking. I’d be able to gauge what the fuck was going on.But my thoughts were interrupted by a gentle knock.“Come in,” I called out.The door creaked open, and a woman stepped in. It was the maid from yesterday—the one who had brought food and had eyes the color that reminded me of the human girl's.Her head was bowed low, and she had a folded towel over her arm. Her voice, when she spoke, was steady.“I’ve come to draw your bath, Alpha.”I said nothing. My gaze remained fixed on the distance. With my growing distrust, I wasn’t even sure it was safe to bathe here.But I’d been out hunting and needed to clean myself of the scent of blood that I was certain still clung to my skin.“The water will be ready shortly.”She turned and disappeared into the ba

    JACQUELINEI wasn't sure how long I slept, but I roused the second I felt something soft across my cheeks.I could tell that I was being touched, but the sleepy fog hadn't completely cleared for me to be able to tell by whom.But the moment the familiar smell of lavender hit, I slowly cracked one eye open and stared up at the sight of my mom gently stroking my cheek with her right thumb. Her eyes were filled with insurmountable fondness."Mom?" I whispered. She had loved to sit by my bedside and stroke my cheeks when I was younger. But that had stopped the moment Father had upped and left home without looking back."Yes, my darling," she replied with a tired smile. She didn't shift away, but she retracted her hand, and I instantly missed the warmth of her touch.I blinked slowly. She was still in the outfit she wore this morning. Her shoes had been kicked off. Her hair was pulled into a loose bun, a few strands falling over her cheeks. She had just returned from work. "You're back ea

    JACQUELINEMy room smelled like the hair cream and shampoo I'd used this morning. I moved towards the window and pushed it open, letting in a soft breeze that rustled the edges of my curtains.Then, I went to the bathroom and removed my makeup. I had been so ready for Ezra to see my at my best today. I looked at my reflection in my broken bathroom mirror and sighed. I went back to the bedroom after my face was completely free of makeup and took of my clothes, grabbing an old tee and shorts and putting them on. The cat bag curled itself on my trading desk and was watching my every move. It was a funny feeling to have an audience that appeared to be so intrigued by my presence. I crawled into bed without bothering to pull down the blanket and the cat jumped down from the desk, her soft purrs vibrated through the mattress, as she joined me. She took up residence right beside my hip, her little chin tucked against her paw, tail wrapped around her body.I reached over and stroked her
