All Chapters of Mated To The Scarred Alpha: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

LEAHThe night air bites at my skin as I shove the heavy doors open and step into the courtyard. My breath comes in short, uneven gasps, anger and heartbreak mixing until I can’t tell them apart anymore.I stop near the stone fountain, gripping the edge so hard my knuckles ache. Tears blur my vision, spilling hot and relentless down my face. I try to swallow them back, but they don’t stop. They never stop.“Leah.”A soft voice comes from behind me. I turn just enough to see Sasha, her dark hair tumbling over her shoulders, her eyes wide and full of worry. She doesn’t hesitate, she rushes over and pulls me into her arms, breaking the dam inside me too.I bury my face in her shoulder, sobs ripping free before I can hold them back. My hands clutch at her clothes like I’m drowning and she’s the only thing keeping me afloat.“I can’t do this,” I cry, the words muffled. “I can’t keep fighting him like this. He doesn’t hear me, Sasha. He doesn’t see me. He just… he just decides for me like I

LEAHThe sound of the door frame rattling from me slamming it echoes in my head as I walked away. My chest heaves with every step, my hands trembling as I march down the corridor. Anger and heartbreak swirl together inside me, my heart's messy and heavy, but I keep moving. My heart aches like hell, but knowing that this time I’m not running away, I’m running toward something calms me a little.I'm following my mother, and I'm running toward answers, toward discovering myself.The castle halls blur around me, my vision stinging with tears I refuse to wipe away. My feet carry me outside almost without thought, like my body already knows this place isn’t mine anymore.By the time I step into the courtyard, the cool night air hits me like a slap. The stars glitter above, very sharp, and endless. For a second I just stand there, breathing hard, trying to stop the ache in my chest from spilling out of me.Sasha is already waiting by the car, boxes and bags already stacked neatly beside her.

LEAHThe troll slams forward again, making the ground crack under its weight. My mother’s shield shatters like glass, fragments of green light scattering across the clearing.“Mother!” I scream, but she’s already moving, pulling from both sides of herself. Her fae aura flares, glowing silver-green, while her wolf pushes through, a low growl rumbling from deep in her chest. She chants some fae magic words, her voice as fierce as the wolves we're fighting. Suddenly, her power explodes outward, twin forces rising like storms colliding. For a second, the wolves recoil, their ears pinned back, and even the troll stutters in its charge.Her fae energy flows through her like wildfire, vines and light curling from the ground. Her eyes glow, almost blinding, and her veins and muscles light up under her skin. She's a forest fae and has gotten to her highest fae element.It should terrify me, but instead I feel awe. This is the mother I lost, the mother I almost never knew.She slams her palms

LUCIANThe SUV speeds down the road, the tires chewing into the cracked road, the engine growling louder than the howls fading behind us. My chest burns each time I breathe. My blood is still dripping down my arm and soaking into the seat. The sharp scent hanging heavy inside the car, mixing with sweat and smoke from the engine. Fucking hell!Theron’s hands are locked on the wheel, his knuckles pale, his eyes set forward like the only thing keeping him sane is focusing on the road. Every now and then, he glances sideways at me, his jaw tight.“You holding up?” he finally mutters, his voice rough.I let out a laugh that comes out more like a cough. “I’m alive, aren’t I?”“Barely,” he shoots back. His tone is flat, but the worry’s still there under it.I press my hand harder against the wound on my shoulder, the wet heat spreading across my palm. “We’ve had worse.”Theron’s mouth twitches like he wants to argue, but he doesn’t. He just shakes his head and stares back at the road.The si

LUCIANI sit at the edge of the bed, my hands clenched, forcing myself to breathe in and out, and it doesn’t work. My chest still feels tight, like someone has their hand wrapped around my heart and is squeezing harder every second. I miss Leah.I can feel the bond like a static hum in the back of my head. It’s there, but faint. Too faint. She’s alive, I know she’s alive. But no matter how hard I reach, how much I call for her in my head, there’s no answer. Just silence.I press the heel of my hand against my temple. “Damn it, Leah. Where are you?”The door creaks, and Theron steps in. He doesn’t say anything at first, he just stands there with his arms crossed, studying me. His silence grates on me more than words would.“What?” I snap.“You haven’t eaten,” he says flatly. “And you look like hell.”“I don’t care.”He sighs, running a hand over his face. “Lucian, this isn’t…”“I said I don’t care!” My voice bounces off the walls, sharp and raw. “The only thing I care about is finding
