All Chapters of The Alpha's Pampered Wolfless Mate : Chapter 101 - Chapter 108

Elise povThe forest was darker than I remembered. Each branch clawed at my skin like it wanted to keep me from moving forward. My lungs burned, my legs ached, but I couldn't stop. Not now. The orb was close—I could feel it. A pull in my chest, a thread tying me to something ancient and dangerous, something that might finally give me the control I had been searching for.Amelia's warning echoed in my head: "The orb doesn't just give, Elise—it takes. Be careful what you're willing to lose."I clenched my fists. I had already lost too much. If the orb wanted a price, it would get it."Just a little further," I whispered to myself, pushing through another tangle of thorns.My wolf stirred restlessly inside me. She could sense it too—the power waiting ahead. But there was something else. Danger. We weren't alone out here.*Something's wrong,* she growled in my mind.*I know. But we can't turn back now.*The path twisted into a gorge. Shadows spilled from both sides like black water. My ea

Elise's POV**The walls of Drake's dungeon were cold and damp, leeching away the last of my strength. I sat curled in the corner, my wrists raw from the shackles, my thoughts gnawing at me harder than hunger ever could. Every moment I wasted here was another step Drake took closer to destroying everything I loved.The sound of boots echoed down the stone corridor. My body tensed, expecting one of Drake's brutish guards, but instead a folded scrap of cloth slipped silently under the iron bars of my cell door. My heart leapt—a flutter of desperate hope in the crushing darkness. It wasn't like his guards to leave notes.I crawled forward on scraped knees, fingers trembling as I picked up the mysterious cloth. It was thin and worn, marked with faint stitching that seemed random at first glance. I almost dismissed it as nothing more than frayed fabric—until I noticed the deliberate pattern hidden within the threads. My breath caught sharp in my throat. It was Amelia's handiwork.A secret c

Elise povThe hidden passage spat me out into a large stone chamber, lit faintly by torches mounted on the walls. My breath caught as I took in the scene before me. I wasn't alone.Drake stood at the far end, his presence dominating the room like a shadow that swallowed everything whole. His sharp eyes gleamed with calculation, lips curling into the kind of smile that made my skin crawl. Beside him was Harriet, her arms folded, her gaze flickering between Drake and me with a mix of pride and something darker—envy, maybe.And then, to my shock, Amelia.She wasn't bound. She wasn't being dragged. She stood there, tense but unharmed, her eyes darting toward me, silently pleading for me not to expose her. My heart twisted—was she here by choice, or had Drake already suspected her loyalty?"Amelia?" I called out, my voice echoing in the chamber.She flinched but didn't answer. That told me everything I needed to know.The air was thick with tension. I felt like prey trapped between predato

Xander Pov I could feel it now—the hidden force my grandmother had spent her entire life keeping carefully locked away from me. Something infinitely darker and wilder than anything I had ever imagined possible.Focus, Xander, Skye urged with steady determination. You've trained your entire life for control. Channel that discipline now when it matters most.I forced my erratic breathing to steady, carefully channeling the overwhelming Alpha aura coursing through me. The silver chains hissed one final, defiant time before snapping apart completely, clattering uselessly to the cold floor of my cell room. My body sagged with exhaustion, trembling violently, but I was finally free.And then I felt her calling to me. Elise.Her voice was achingly faint, but somehow it reached across the impossible distance between us. Xander…?"Elise!" I shut my eyes tightly, clinging desperately to the fragile thread of her presence. "I hear you clearly now. Hold on, I'm com
