The Alpha Who Killed Me Is My Mate CHAPTER 11
~ Zara ~The torchlight hit the bars and I pressed my back against the stone, pulling Reid with me."Move back," the guard ordered.He stopped in front of our cell and held the flame high, and the light cut across Reid’s face. The guard looked at the lock and then at us, and I kept my head down."Two of you in here?" he asked."The Prince ordered it," I said."The Prince doesn't run the pits," the guard countered."Tell him that when he comes back," I stated.The guard spat on the floor and moved to the next cell, and the sound of his boots faded as he walked down the hall. I waited until the light vanished before I moved. I dropped to my knees and searched the dirt until my fingers hit the metal of the key Caelum had thrown."You have it?" Reid asked."I have it," I said."He's going to kill us, Zara," Reid whispered. "You think he's helping, but he's just putting us in a smaller box. He locked us in here with a body."I looked toward the shadows where Silas lay, and I could hear th

~ Zara ~The iron key felt like a shard of ice against my thigh. I walked down the stone corridor, keeping my head low as I passed a pair of guards. They didn't look at me. To them, I was just another nameless boy carrying a tray of half-eaten bread.I reached the kitchens. The air was thick with the scent of roasted meat and the heat of the massive stone hearths. Dozens of servants moved in a blur, shouting over the clatter of pots and the barking of the head cook. None of them looked up as I slipped toward the back pantry.I found the heavy wooden door Caelum had described. It was tucked behind a stack of flour sacks, nearly invisible in the dim light. I pushed a sack aside and slid the key into the lock. It turned with a heavy click.I stepped inside and closed the door, plunging myself into darkness. I didn't have a torch, so I felt my way along the cold, damp stone walls. I followed the narrow tunnel for what felt like miles. My boots splashed through shallow puddles, the sound

~ Zara ~I dropped and hit the dirt behind the servant’s quarters. The impact jarred my legs, but I didn't stop."Guards!" Caelum shouted from the window above.I scrambled up and ducked behind a stack of wooden crates. Torches flickered near the stables as men started moving. I couldn't run for the main gate, and the open fields were too exposed. Caelum knew who I was now. He had seen my face, and he’d called me his mate. The word made my stomach turn."Check the ravine," Silas yelled to the scouts. "The boy jumped for the drop."I stayed low, pressing my back against the rough wood of the crates. Caelum was lying for me. He was sending his men to the canyon while I was still within his reach. I didn't believe he was helping me. He wanted to be the one to kill me this time.I moved through the shadows toward the rocks where I had left Reid."Reid!" I called out.Nothing moved. I reached the clearing between the boulders and saw the dirt was torn up. Heavy boot prints marked the mud,

~ Caelum ~The servant quarters were cramped and smelled of damp stone. I sat at the table and watched the boy, Luka, as he scrubbed the floor. He didn't look at me. He didn't even look at the guards by the door."Stop," I said.Luka froze. He didn't drop the brush, but his knuckles were white."Come here," I ordered.He stood up and walked toward me. He kept his eyes on his boots. The short, jagged hair made him look younger, but there was a stiffness in his shoulders that didn't match a stable hand."You're from the Outlands," I said. "How long have you lived there?""All my life, Prince," he said. His voice was steady, but I saw his fingers twitch against his trousers."Then you know the girl," I said. "The one in the grey cloak."Luka didn't answer.I stood up and walked around the table. I stopped in front of him. He was short, barely reaching my chest, but the pull in my gut was getting louder. My wolf was scratching at the surface, pacing, snarling at the scent of nothing."She

~ Zara ~The climb down the cliff didn't hurt as much as the silence in my head. I landed in the ravine and didn't look back. I ran through the shadows of the rocks until the settlement was nothing but a memory of smoke and shouting."Zara!" a voice called.I stopped near a cluster of boulders. Silas and the other Bloodthorn guards weren't here, but someone else was.Reid stepped out from behind a jagged stone. He didn't look happy. He gripped the strap of his bag and walked toward me."You're alive," Reid said."I'm alive," I said."Caelum is back there," he stated, and he looked toward the ridge. "He saw you. I saw him pinning you against that tree from the lookout."I didn't answer. I leaned against a boulder and waited for my heart to slow down. My forehead throbbed where I had slammed it into his."He’s not leaving, Zara," Reid said. "He ordered the men to pack the camp. They're staying until they find the girl with no scent.""Let him stay," I said. "He can't find what doesn't e

~ Caelum ~I stood on the balcony of the Citadel and looked out over the peaks of the Bloodthorn territory. The cold wind hit my skin, but I didn't move."The rogues are becoming a problem, Caelum," my father said from the doorway.I didn't turn around. I didn't need to look at him to know his expression."They're hungry, Father," I said, "and hungry people are always a problem.""They're rats," he countered, and I heard his boots on the stone floor as he walked closer. "There’s a settlement in the Outlands. I want you to go there and end it."I gripped the stone railing. Three years had passed, and the ache in my chest hadn't faded. The bond had been severed the moment I killed her, leaving a hollow space that nothing could fill."I’ll take a team," I said."Take whoever you need, just bring me the head of whoever is leading them," he said. "And Caelum, don't hesitate this time. I know you still think about that girl. It was a mercy, as she was a defect."He left before I could respo
