It was all becoming far too real.

Standing in front of the mirror, I relived every mark on my body. Scars from a life of slavery, abuse—marks that would never fade. But the deepest scar, even after two years, was still the broken bond with Viktor. The throbbing pain of being torn in half, as if my soul had been ripped apart.

  • The bastard Alpha's Mate   Chapter 33: A Silver Mask

    Even though he looked calm, I could feel the rage exploding inside Dean. His blue eyes gleamed, his smile baring his canines. That interaction was becoming dangerous, and as curious as I was about what Viktor had said, this was far from the best moment to dive deeper into the subject.With little I could do, I grabbed Dean’s arm and made him look at me. I rested my head on his shoulder, giving him a sweet, affectionate look, and the hostile atmosphere vanished completely.“My alpha, may I join the other Lunas? Now that I can be formally introduced, I’d like to get a little closer to the matriarch of Eldermoon.” Viktor’s eyes widened. I could feel the subtle shift in the wolf at the possibility that his event wouldn’t go as he had planned.Dean’s fingers touched my back, pressing gently over the lace. He leaned over me, his lips brushing my ear in an intimate, warm way.“Invite Eleanor to visit our pack,” he whispered, but loud enough for Viktor and the other wolves around us to hear.

  • The bastard Alpha's Mate   Chapter 32: Race to the Throne

    I held Gideon's gaze as other wolves approached to clean up the mess he had made. Dean held my hands and carefully pulled me away, increasing the space between Gideon and us, but the Beta quickly advanced, closing the distance even more.Gideon's sudden approach surprised me, and I was frozen for a minute—but it was enough for him to extend his hand toward me, trying to grab my arm. The glass shards crunched on the floor, and Gideon's movements seemed in slow motion as he got closer. However, Gideon barely touched my skin."What do you think you're doing, beta?" Dean growled, grabbing Gideon's wrist with such force that the wolf bent forward, his right knee hitting the ground with a hollow thud.I covered my mouth with my hands, hiding my smile of satisfaction. Yes, that was what I wanted—to see each of them on their knees, humiliated before me, paying for everything they had done. But it still felt wrong. Gideon was being forced by Dean's strength, not by desperation or humiliation.

  • The bastard Alpha's Mate   Chapter 31: Revenge Has Begun

    The weight of the silence was crushing. Seraphina grew redder and redder, while some young she-wolves—her followers and sycophants—surrounded her. Her green eyes burned with pure hatred toward me."A nobody wolf, a nobody like you. How dare you get in my way?!" The she-wolf's face twisted into a horrible grimace, almost making me laugh with satisfaction."Get in your way?" Eleanor approached, her gaze full of contempt toward Seraphina. "You'd better think carefully about your words, young lady. Alpha Valerius made it very clear that the miss in his arms is his fated one, chosen by the Goddess herself to be by his side. You, a she-wolf who has barely had a successful hunt, dare to question the Deity's decision?!"The entire situation was escalating much better than I had imagined at first. I touched Dean's chest, and he loosened his grip; then I walked to Eleanor, holding her hands and bringing them to my forehead. A gesture of respect and gratitude as I bowed."My lady, I am grateful

    Before we reached the group, my benefactor looked at me over her shoulder, still with her warm smile. "I didn't hear your name, young lady," she questioned. Clearly, she wasn't the type of she-wolf who asked questions, but rather one to whom answers came naturally.I smiled shyly, biting my lip and rubbing my hands in a way that made me seem nervous. She looked at my reaction, and her smile subtly grew."I apologize, but my mate hasn't formally introduced me yet, so...""I understand," she interrupted, amusement stamped in her voice. I couldn't tell if she had already noticed something or if she was excited about a possible disruption in the event that was supposed to be impeccable. "My name is Eleanor Ravenshaw, from the Eldermoor pack."My legs locked up; a cold shiver ran through my entire body as I realized who was standing before me. Even I, a she-wolf who grew up in an isolated tribe deep in the forest, knew that name.Without any acting, I bowed before her—the she-wolf known as

    I felt trapped, as if several layers of tight bandages covered my body. I squirmed in the car seat, trying to find a comfortable position where I could breathe normally."Miss, if you keep moving like that, you'll mess up your hair." Kira, in her discreet black dress suitable for she-wolves of the company, tried to fix the meticulously sculpted waves she'd done in my hair.I pushed her hands away, irritated and uncomfortable. "How is it possible that the Lunas wear this all the time? I can't sit, I can't breathe. And if something happens? How am I supposed to defend myself in this outfit?""That's why each alpha brings a small entourage with the Lunas—for their safety." I rolled my eyes, already feeling tired before even arriving at that circus everyone called an event.The car stopped, and the door on my side opened; the driver's hand extended to help me out. I looked at the black carpet stretching from the sidewalk to the large, open glass door. This was the moment when everything w

  • The bastard Alpha's Mate   Chapter 28: Follow the Plan

    What should have been a night to review the plans for Viktor's event turned into a night of tension and awkward silence.I could never have imagined that an innocent visit to the Pub would cause so many problems. Dean was in a bad mood throughout the entire meeting. While Kael talked about which wolves I should avoid and which ones I should approach, Dean remained completely silent, sitting behind his large desk with his arms crossed, watching me intently. It was as if he were looking straight into my soul, and that was leaving me more than uncomfortable."Hey, wolf." Kael called, waving his hand in front of my eyes. "Did you hear anything I said?"I was so focused on Dean that, without realizing it, I had directed all my attention to him. I turned my face away, feeling the skin on my cheeks grow hot as the anger of being scolded like a pup consumed me. Dean's low laugh caught my attention, but I didn't turn to look at him."Well, then I'll go over the most important part again." Kael
