Lahat ng Kabanata ng THE ALPHAS FATED MATE: Kabanata 81 - Kabanata 90

PIXIEI frowned, sitting down beside Gloria on the grass and watching the final preparations being carried out by a handful of wolves."You have Dwight," I gently prodded, hoping that his name would help her ease up. But it didn't. Her eyes grew misty, and she sniffled."He doesn't want me anymore," she whimpered, fat tears slipping free and running down her cheeks."Don't say that," I comforted, reaching up slowly to wipe the tears away without scaring Gloria. "He loves you."But Gloria shook her head stubbornly, her eyes closing and squeezing more tears out."No," she said adamantly. "He hasn't wanted me for a long time. After you left, he lost."What do you mean?" I pressed, wanting to know as much as possible while Gloria was willing to talk."After you left," she sobbed, hiding her face in her hands. "He took on challenge after challenge for his position. He spent most nights in the infirmary and when I went to visit him, he was so distant and so cold that I could barely recogniz

ALPHA ASHAI led her to the entrance of the forest, where Helldog stood waiting for us.The old wolf had dressed for the occasion in a truly Helldog-esque way. He wore his usual leathers with an oversized yellow hoodie that he must have swiped off a human during his many late-night- haunts into the human world. His long gray hair was riddled with single braids ending in silver rings that made him look every bit the fearsome wolf he once was."Hurry up, you two," he growled, ushering us over. "I'm old and I'd like to get back to my tea before it's cold."Pixie giggled and stepped forward excitedly, holding one hand out to Helldog and offering the other to me. I felt the easy smile spread on my lips when our skin touched, and I knew Helldog would give me shit for it later."As an Alpha," Helldog started, addressing the pack that had gathered to witness their ceremony. "A wolf's work is never done. He must work tirelessly to protect and care for all, disregarding his own well-being for t

PIXIEThe rogues were all around us, closing in as Asha howled his warning to the pack. I could hear them dropping their kills in a rush to support their Alpha, but I did not know how far out they were, or if they'd make it in time.I dipped low and lunged forward without a thought, snapping my jaws at a rogue who got too close to Asha's throat. I handed control over to my wolf, desperate to protect my mate, my Alpha, from the surprise rogue attack. My wolf sprang into action, my thoughts devolving into a steady string of "protect, defend, protect, defend', and my movements became more fluid. I was able to take in more information this way, with my wolf at the wheel. I counted the incoming wolves and watched each of them fall at Asha's feet. The only command I gave my wolf was to deny the urge to crawl under him to protect his exposed throat.I had to stay out of his way; I could already sense his panic and concern for my wellbeing through the bond. And I knew that he be better equipp

PIXIE"Not so dumb after all," Gloria applauded sarcastically. "Yes, Griffin is the son of a murdered Alpha, the Alpha that Asha killed in blind rage and cold blood.""They were rogues," I defended, refusing to allow Gloria to speak lie upon lie about Asha. "They attacked Asha's pack and slaughtered his mate!""And Asha should have died with his mate," Gloria growled. "But no matter, that's all in the past. Now, Griffin has the perfect plan to make him suffer for what he did.""What the hell have you done?""He made me a deal," she grinned. "If I helped him infiltrate Asha's pack, he'd kill you. And I would be the only one who could help Dwight through the pain of losing his stupid lover, and Asha would suffer the same agony twice before Griffin ended him.""You're a monster," I whispered, tears hot on my cheeks. "Both of you.""I think we're pretty clever," Gloria shrugged. "You have to admit, it's an excellent plan. I just can't believe how easily you fell for my act. But I knew you

PIXIEI tried to blink the dark spots from my vision, trying to understand that the pain wasn't from Griffin sinking his teeth into my neck; it was his weight that had slammed into my injured body.Amber had charged at him, breaking free of the fear that he held over her and tackling him to the ground. Griffin howled in shock, his pain splitting into a snarl as he spun mid-fall and tore into Amber's exposed throat. He ripped her off of him and threw her across the room, staggering away from me. I spotted the silver glint of a scalpel protruding from his broad back.I fought to get to my feet again, my side bleeding heavily where Griffin's claws had torn through my skin.Pain riddled my body as I stood, shaking and icy from the loss of blood. I knew I wouldn't be able to keep going for much longer. And it didn't seem like help was on its way, either. I was alone, facing Griffin and his crazed eyes as he circled me once more.I had an unsettling sense blanket down over me, and I underst
