บททั้งหมดของ Mated To The Alpha: Fated To The Lycan King : บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

Rayne's POV“How did you manage to do it?” Sloane asked once we were out of earshot of most people. “I should have known you weren't so innocent after all. The Lycan King? How ambitious of you.”“Is that what you called me here to tell me? I'm afraid that's not enough substance for a worthwhile use of my time,” I said, already turning around to leave.“Why did you come here, Rayne? You should have just stayed back in whatever little hole you wound up,” she said. “At least that way we could have all allowed ourselves to bask in your absence.”“And how fulfilling would that have been? Living things have to show proof,” I retorted, watching my fingernails. I should have taken the chance to get them touched up for this event. Even though they were short and smooth, they lacked the intensity for the statement I was trying to make.“I didn't call you here to waste time. I'm here to give you just a little piece of friendly advice. Watch where yo

Kaiden's POV The darkness wasn't very welcoming, but luckily for me, I could see pretty well in the dark. Rayne, on the other hand, was either partially blind or simply wanted to touch me any chance she got. Either way, she didn't seem very keen on leaving my personal space anytime soon. Not that I was complaining.“You didn't mention that we'd be walking blindly over here,” I said, running my hand against the wall for better balance. “It's been a while since I've been here. I didn't really think that part through, sorry.” She lifted her phone and put on the torch. Let there be light.“Hm.” I looked at the phone in her hand. “You got a new phone?”“Oh, you mean this? Yeah. Savannah gave it to me a little while back. It was really thoughtful of her.”“She did?” It eluded me how close Savannah had gotten to Rayne. But then again, I could understand that Rayne was someone that you just couldn't help but like. “Uh-huh,” she responded, flashing the light at an angle that illuminated

Rayne's POVThe next few days passed with us internally lamenting the fact that we had been flung practically back to square one. We had no leads except the initials of the person that had received the cargo from Oceanpearl.News of my appearance at the wedding had been a hot topic on the Paranormal Watch, and multiple times I had to keep myself from posting something I would regret later. Kaiden was very supportive throughout the whole ordeal, dealing with it using his influence as the Lycan King. It worried me a little, because I didn't want a case whereby he was affected as well because he was trying to defend me.“Right now, those in charge of the Paranormal Watch focus too much on controversy rather than things of social importance. They need to be checked,” he said, tracing a finger over the smooth skin of my belly under my shirt. The simple act made my insides shiver with desire. I wasn't even sure anymore if it was the mate bond resp

Rayne's POVJust like I had predicted, Kaiden didn't take kindly to the news that I had been in the rain. “What?” he exclaimed, and slapped a large hand over his face. “You were doing what?” Still in disbelief, he shook his head and sunk into his seat like his legs couldn't keep him upright anymore.“I mean . . . I just wanted to have a little fun, okay? I didn't actually plan on getting hurt or anything,” I weakly defended, unable to look him in the eyes. If after this, he no longer allowed me to even step foot outside the compound, I wouldn't have been surprised in the slightest bit. Most times, Kaiden acted like a man with rebellious children. This time was no different.Underneath the blanket I had been given, another tremor shook through my body, a testament to the length of time I spent outdoors. It didn't matter that werewolves were known to emit heat and have high body temperatures. For most of my life, the only thing

Rayne's POVI hadn't been able to sleep after my confrontation with Kaiden. Each and every time I closed my eyes, I would see myself telling him those things that I didn't really mean, and the hurt that would pass over his expression.The longer I pondered on his words, the more I realized that truly, I wasn't calm enough to fully understand what he was saying and simply felt attacked. I shouldn't have left like that. And there were some things that shouldn't have been said.But was I really the only one at fault? He also had his own flaws. For starters, he was overprotective, whether he liked to admit it or not. And I never wanted anyone to have that much power over my life again. I had been having the same sleepless nights since that day, untilI couldn't handle it anymore, and went for a walk one night.I had to keep my head focused. Even though I knew that I should have at least gone to see him, pride still had me in a chokehold, and refused to let go.As I passed by his bedroom do
