All Chapters of The Alpha's Third Mistress: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

For seven days, Sheera and Keegan journeyed, stopping only at nightfall for food and rest. They could count the words they'd spoken to each other the whole time. Most of the time, it was "we're stopping for a break." Or, "You can eat this."Or other little customary statements. Sheera was still on edge, and there was a part of her that wondered if the Alpha had only saved her from the execution because he wanted to kill her himself. Because why else would he save her? He didn't have a reason to. On the second day when they'd left Howling Ridge, Keegan had removed the chains and Moly ropes from her. Gradually, her strength and power returned. On the seventh day, they got to their destination—or Keegan's, rather. It was a place that was so beautiful, it left Sheera stunned for a moment. It was a cottage by a gleaming lake, a small farmstead complete with a modest barn and a bustling coop of hens. The serenity of the scene left Sheera breathless, the place resembling a world remov

The sun warmed Thessaly's face as she stood at the balcony, staring down at the flurry of activities. Her hand was on her belly, caressing it even if it was still flat. "Must be so lonely for you, right?" Odessa said, joining her. Thessaly rolled her neck and let out deep breath, her hand still on her belly. "Go away, Odessa. I'm not in the mood to talk.""I mean, imagine being pregnant for a man who ran off with a witch that killed his mother," she tsked. "How pathetic that that lady is more important than you and your son."Thessaly looked at her, offering her beautiful smile. "I'm not bothered. Unlike you, I am used to being ignored by the Alpha."Odessa cocked a brow. "Is that so?""Yes. And if you ask me, I'd say you are more affected than me. I am sure you've been having sleepless nights about it. It is you who fell low, Odessa."Odessa glared at her for a moment, before her glare melted into a laugh. "Oh, Thessaly," There was still laughter in her voice, but it was thin, col

Kalaril had been handling some court proceedings when news of Keegan's return reached him. He ended the meeting immediately and rushed over to his quarters.Keegan was in the room when he arrived, taking off his coat. For sometime, Kalaril stood by the door, simply studying him, while Keegan, though clearly aware of his presence, said nothing."You're back," Kalaril said at last, breaking the silence. "Took longer than expected."Keegan remained silent as he draped his coat over the arm of his chair. "How has the Pack been?" He asked after what seemed like an eternity. Kalaril hesitated before nodding, not like Keegan was looking at him. "Things have been fine, although the people have been saying a lot of things. Zandov is still locked up."Keegan didn't even look up. "Release him."He walked to his study table, grabbing a random scroll and quill. Kalaril watched him but could hardly get an expression. "How is she?" He finally asked, getting the question off his mind. "What happene

"Get off me, you rat bastard!" She cursed, writhing beneath him. He was too strong. Gods, she needed her powers. "Rat bastard?" He laughed hard. "Now, that's a foul mouth. One that I like."He was about tearing off the fabric of her dress when someone struck him from behind. Sheera had seen the person coming and when the strike was successful, she sighed in relief. "Son of a... By the beard of Odin!" Her assailant groaned painfully, his hand clutching the back of his head as he scrambled off Sheera. Turning around, dread replaced the lust in his eyes. It was a young man, holding a wood, not looking a bit fazed but disappointed."Again? You're doing this again?" He asked with a heavy sigh.Sheera's assailant, now trembling, cast a nervous glance before turning back to her rescuer. "I—I—It's not what you think. We were just... me and her, we were just—you know?""Spare me your empty excuses. You can take it up with the Governess. She’ll be quite eager to meet you come tomorrow,"

"What is wrong, Sheera?" Ravyn took her hand, finding her mood worrisome.She blinked rapidly, her lashes damp with a sudden intensity as she forced herself back to the present.By the moon, she needed to pull herself together. Anyone could answer Morginna. She wasn't the only Sheera in the world. Once, she had seen someone in Howling Ridge bearing Naya's name. That didn't make them the same person."I'm—I'm sorry. I was—" She cleared her throat. "Let's just go."She continued walking, her pace faster now. Ravyn caught up with her. "Do you know the Governess?""No! Of—Of course, not," she replied too quickly. "The name, it just—It used to be my late sister's name. My younger sister. Hearing it again just...you know?" She chomped down on her inner cheeks. Her heart wouldn't stop pounding."Oh. Sorry for your loss, Sheera.""It's fine. Can we just move faster?"She suddenly wanted to reach home and bury herself in the pillow. She was shaking now.Morginna. The name wouldn't stop ringing
