All Chapters of Once Upon a Broken Moon: Alpha King is my Second Chance Mate: Chapter 61 - Chapter 67

I managed to climb out of bed and get up by the next morning, though the shaking of my knees and the aching of my ass didn’t help at all.Sunlight greeted me, and it drowned out the endless intrusive thoughts in my mind. It waltzed through the silver-and-violet curtains, bathing the room as if it were a spring garden.I felt beautiful and new in the morning light. Perhaps because of the Alpha King’s mark. Perhaps it's because of the wild passion we’re both entangled in last night.I ran to the window and nearly ripped the curtains from the curtain rod as I opened the windows to the snow-capped mountains and white wintry wonder that filled the entire country. Snow fell, but the clouds gave way to the sun. And my mating mark...I lifted a hand to my neck. It seems alive. Throbbing. It burns. “Your mark burns if I am near...” Kal told me last night when I lay in his chest after our smutty encounter. I caressed it, felt it beneath my palms to make sure it was real,

When Kal noticed the gloom in my gaze, he clicked his fingers and Omega servants poured in out of every corner of the gardens and bushes and hedges.I was too busy with Kallias that I didn't realize their presence. They were bearing snacks consisting of plates of sweets and savory meals and bottles of chilled wine. Well, of course, it’s chilled just by looking at the surroundings. He led me from a corner I’ve never been in before. I thought at first it was a greenhouse. But when we went inside and past the carved glass doors, it was a private dining place with only a dozen or fewer tables there. We spent the last part of our date here, eating and giggling and drinking. When I’m already a bit tipsy an hour later, Kal reached for my hand with a heavy face. “We’re going to the Moonflame Pack. Tonight.” My eyelashes flutter, but not in excitement. “Moonflame Pack...tonight?!”When he mentioned the Moonflame Pack, the remaining anxiety in my body earlier

The night blurred into Kal’s quick inspection of the pack grounds, although at the back of my mind, he’s just scanning for suspicious faces. Or for the Alpha of the Blackwind Pack himself. “Kallias,” I called out to him softly. No response. He just kept striding away, not paying attention to me like I’m some contagious plague. The weather here is moodier than in the Nightblood Pack. Whether it's because of Kallias being here or my father's annoying ass that causes the magic to dislike him, I don't know. “KALLIAS!” I yelled at the top of my lungs, tears streaked my pale face. I choked down a sob as Kal stopped and turned back to me. Beta Fionn, no matter how strict he might look, he understood we needed space, so Kal and I were just left in an icy garden with a fountain in the middle while the Beta led his companions for dinner. The water’s gurgling, but it seems the magic here is not that strong, so part of it is already frost

“This daughter of yours, Marcus, seemed to inherit your attitude of never knowing one’s place,” Kallias snarled as he straightened. He faced my sister with a face that I could have feared if he weren't my mate. “You are hereby banished from the Moonflame Pack, Elodie. I am confident that this punishment will teach you to know your place.” Everyone gasped, including me. I know my sister only wants my mate because of his status and because she delights in taking everything from me, but I didn't know if my mate's punishment is for the better or for the worse. “Kallias,” I whispered his name, just when my father called out to him with all the voice in the world and kneeled at his feet. “Alpha King!” Alpha Marcus didn’t hesitate to beg. I didn't even know he could beg. “Please! Please have mercy on my daughter—” I don’t know if the laughter I’m hearing is in my head orif I’m actually laughing in front of all. They all turned to me. “My mate'
