All Chapters of The Accused Mate: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

“What are you doing here, Darren?” Amari shouted from her window.“I came to visit you, but Alexander told me you left a week ago and he hadn’t seen you since.”“Alex!” Why would you say that?” Amari yelled from above. He folded his arms over his chest like a petulant child.“Alex, huh? You must really like her,” Darren teased.“Like her? There’s nothing to like. I’ve met a coconut with a better personality and higher IQ,” Alexander responded, scoffing at the notion.Darren would’ve warned Alexander about the shoe Amari had in her hand that she was preparing to hurl in his direction, but Alexander deserved whatever he had coming to him.“Shit!” Alexander yelled, grasping the top of his head. “What the hell did you do that for?” he complained as he picked up the tennis shoe she threw at him.“For lying to Darren and for the coconut comment. Next time, it’s a lamp,” she challenged, narrowing her eyes at him before slamming the window shut.“You might want to put some ice on that,” Darre

Alexander felt an uncomfortable ache from the downtrodden expression on Amari’s face. He could tell his statement about Darren was a blow to the gut, but she needed to get with the program.“You know…if the person who killed Camilla attacked me in the surveillance room, then the murderer might be one of the wolves that accompanied you to our pack that day. It would only make sense,” Amari mumbled, trying to distract herself from the negative thoughts in her mind. She still couldn’t find it in her to care about Camilla’s death, and believed her sister deserved what she got, but Amari wanted to clear her name.Maybe if she cleared her name then she would be accepted back to her pack once again.Alexander recalled the wolves that visited the Blood Moon Pack with him that fateful day. Sam was with them. Did Sam kill Camilla and attempt to kill Amari? But what would be the motive?Alexander had to admit that Sam was always hungry for a position of power. He had a God complex and wanted to

“There’s nothing to tell,” Amari answered.“Come on. I’m sure there’s a lot you may want to get off your chest. You were locked away for 18 years, and your introduction to the world was not pleasant to say the least.”“You’re right. My introduction to the world wasn’t pleasant. I told a man I loved him, only for him to reject me,” she mumbled.“It’s not my fault, Amari.”“Yeah, well the pain doesn’t magically go away. Do you want to hear about my childhood? Fine. But don’t be surprised when you discover it’s not as glamorous as you think. My mother died shortly after I was born, so we were raised by nannies and our father. As you can imagine, Alpha Charles Winters was very cold and never showed affection. I guess our surname suited him.”“Suits you, too. You have a little coldness to you, Amari.”“I have to, because if I don’t, then people will continue to hurt me. As I was saying, we were devoid of any real affection. I grew up knowing my role and that I would eventually take over fo

“What’s going on?” Alexander asked the guards once he left Amari’s room.“There has been a confirmed perimeter breach.”“I hope you have more information than that for me,” Alexander spat as he jogged down the stairs.“The security team was making its nightly rounds and came across two unconscious guards.”“Were they badly injured?”“No, just rendered unconscious. They are awake now and with the pack doctor.”“Where’s Sharon?”“Searching.”“I’ll leave her to it for now. I want to talk to the guards.”Alexander made it to the infirmary, where he found Dr. Matthew attending to one of the guards who held an ice pack against his head. The other guard was throwing up in a trash can, most likely from a concussion.“Tell me what you know,” Alexander demanded.“I’m sorry, Alpha Beaumont, but I didn’t see anything. I was hit from behind, probably with a rock.”“Okay, did you hear or smell anything? You need to give me something,” Alexander demanded.“No, one minute I’m walking, and the next mi

“He’s not my boyfriend,” Amari huffed. She was over her mate’s bratty behavior. Someone needed to find him a sippy cup and cookies to calm his nerves. “And how did he start a war with the Artemis Pack?”“Amari, don’t play dumb. You were raised your entire life to take over your pack. Surely, Alpha Winters instilled in you the importance of respect. Now the Black Crescent Pack must pay the price.”“But that’s not fair,” she protested.“You should’ve learned by now that life isn’t fair.”“B-but the entire pack shouldn’t be punished based on the action of one.”Amari thought about Susan and Zane who hadn’t done anything to her. She would hate to see anything happen to them. She knew the Black Crescent Pack wouldn’t survive another unexpected attack.“If it was just a lone wolf…sure, but Darren, while he’s no longer the commanding Alpha, is still held at the same regard. Zane makes the calls, and I find it difficult to believe he didn’t know what Darren was up to.”“Well, you’ll never kno
