Slavic Witch: Alpha King Mate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 81 - チャプター 90

Dragana POVMy world went blank. I had no words to describe how I was feeling hearing this. I stared at my aunt, Lady Asma, for a second, seeing her, but after her last statement, nothing registered in my mind. I did not know what to think or what to say. Alpha King Jonathan came over and hugged me, but that, too, barely registered with me. I just stood there, everything lost to me, everything becoming an oblivion. I hoped I was having a bad dream, a nightmare, somebody would soon wake me up. Art’s strong arms came from behind me, wrapping my waist and pulling me to him. I could feel his heartbeat, but I just stood there, unable to process what was said. Lady Asma’s face was contorted, out of pain and out of tears, her beautiful features, her soul breaking. “There is more you are not telling me”, I heard myself say, without knowing that I was speaking. She simply nodded in agreement.“He was bewitched, or so we believe. To this day, we still do not understand what exactly happened, bu

Alice POV My father’s frail body lay on the bed, which right now seemed oversized for his thinning frame. I recall many times when I was a child, that very same, large poster bed, framed in mahogany, with crisp white sheets, felt oversized to me. Many nights, when I was a young girl, before I got my wolf, thunderstorms or strange dreams would scare me and I would run into my parent’s bedroom, quickly snuggled in between them. My father’s strong arms were always there to protect both my mother and I, his soft cardamom scent enveloping us both in a loving embrace. Images of this flashed before me, but I pushed them into the deep corners of my mind. Those days were long gone. How did I get here? I did not know. Perhaps a part of me died when my mother did. Perhaps another part died when half of our pack, women and children, elderly and even young warriors were obliterated by the Alpha King, Roman, my future husband and his forces in their quest for power and wealth. I do not know. I cou

Dragana POVI did not know how to answer Roman’s question unless I revealed Aisha’s identity. I knew from the story she recounted that Caleb would recognize her and I was not ready at this point to reveal the mate bond between us. If he truly loved Alice, which by all accounts I assumed he did, why would I take that from him? I already felt like a failure for not finding his mate for all those years and felt even worse knowing his mate was actually me. So, I tried to divert his attention and his questions.“Why are you asking me this??? What difference does it make? Is this what you wanted to talk to me about?? I thought we were …” Before I could finish my sentence, Roman moved like lightning and all of a sudden, his statuesque, bulky form was in front of me. Sitting in a chair, I felt even smaller and more vulnerable, looking up at his mesmerizing eyes. “I have my reasons for asking you”, he said, using his hand to lift my face up to look at him, his touch sending electricity jolt st

Roman POVThe last thing I wanted or needed was Alice appearing at that very moment. Yet, just my luck, there she was, mortified, pain, disbelief, anger, and betrayal all etched into her beautiful face. “Roman, I am asking you one last time. WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT SLUT!!!???”, She screamed, charging towards Dragana, who I could tell was shell-shocked and tried to cover herself up, blushing beet red. I could sense her obvious embarrassment and discomfort and did not know how to react or what to do. I meant everything I said to her. Finally, I was able to hold her in my arms, my heart on my sleeve and now this. “I told you that Alice is not our mate, and yet you did not listen to me. Now, look what mess you got us into!!”, Caleb was roaring, none too happy. “I will deal with this Caleb, now is most definitely NOT THE TIME, for one of your lectures”, I said, agitated at my wolf.“Who are you???? And what are you doing with MY MATE??? Are you a pack slut? Is this what you do – take

Roman POVI asked Alice to leave under the pretense that I had to attend to urgent pack business and would meet with her later, I was pacing in my office, my headache not leaving me alone. I had to speak to Dragana. I could not control myself earlier, I had to kiss her plump lips, I had to hold her in my arms. I nearly marked her! Some type of invisible force, a pull I only felt once before, was back. It was the same pull that brought me to the lake when she was drowning, the same energy, the same feeling, only this time, instead of fear, in its place was my desire and another feeling I had no words for. I wanted her, but did I love her???“Saying you are the stupidest man in the universe somehow never gets old”, Caleb decided to make his opinions known. “How can I help you Caleb? What now???” “Did you not feel that???? Do you not understand what she is to us???? Do I have to spell everything out for you boy?” he goaded me. “Feel free to share your wisdom Caleb, sage of the wolves”, I
