All Chapters of Barbarian: Mated To The Savage Alpha: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Kieran snapped back to the present with a sharp intake of breath. He was back inside the Moon Pool. He looked down at his hands. His tattoos were still glowing, but this time, the runes on his body were glowing too. He glanced up. Gwendolyn's body still hovered on top of the cave, surrounded with the red glow of the blood moon and the mist from the Moon Pool. Then something clicked in his mind. This cave was the same as the dungeon where Gremory practiced his black magic in secret. Bloodmoon pack was in fact, the exact spot where everything had happened. This was the exact place where the Dark Onyx had been created from dark magic. He looked up at Gwendolyn. Could it be that she was the Black Onyx? He had to go back. He had to find the entire truth. "I promise, my love. I'll get to the bottom of this. I'll protect you." He whispered, hoping she could hear him in her unconscious state. He shut his eyes and lowered into the water until it reached his chin. He opened his mind, cl

Gwendolyn sat curled up on the bed with Kieran behind her. They were back in their bedroom. A blanket was draped over her shoulders to keep her warm. She stared out the window absentmindedly, her mind far away, her thoughts jumbled up. Kieran knelt behind her, slowly running his hands through her hair. He still couldn't believe what they had discovered that day. After Gwendolyn awakened from her trance, he had instantly pulled her out of the pool. The moment she left the Moon Pool, the blood moon disappeared. The colour of the pool faded back to normal, and the night sky returned to daylight. Gwendolyn broke into violent shivers. Kieran had to wrap his shirt around her, lift her into his arms and hurry out of the cave. He didn't say a word to Ryder, Odin and Harry as he walked past, taking Gwendolyn back to the pack house. Now it was night time. They hadn't stepped foot out of the room ever since. Kieran became so overprotective, tensing at the slightest sound of footsteps. Tha

The words felt alien to Kieran. For several seconds, he didn't react. He just stared, trying to convince himself that his ears had misheard. Then Gwendolyn repeated it. "Kieran, I love you."He lifted his hand slowly and grasped her wrist. Then he turned his head and pressed a kiss into her palm. His eyes were dry, but she could clearly see the emotions in them. She stood on her tiptoe and pressed a kiss on his lips. "I'm not saying this because I feel pity for you." She whispered. "And I can't believe it took me this long to admit it. But I love you, Kieran. I've loved you from the moment I found out you were my mate, the moment we touched and felt the mate bond. I've loved you desperately."She leaned her head against him and sighed. "But I was so scared. My feelings terrified me. I hated you so much because I thought you destroyed my pack, my home. I never knew the man I called my father..."She trailed off, unable to continue. Then she raised her head again. There were tears i

Julian raced through the forest as fast as he could. Running beside him was Lilithia. A black cloak shielded her entire form, leaving just her bright hair whipping behind her as she ran. They'd been running for hours, after Lilithia helped him escape from the dungeons. Dom and a dozen Wilding guards had chased after them, but Lilithia had completely masked their trail. Hours later, they collapsed in the midst of the forest, far away from Nightshade pack. Julian dropped to his knees, breathing heavily. He felt weak. He had been injected with several tiny doses of aconite while locked up in the dungeon. The aconite didn't harm him in such little quantity, but it made him extremely weak. Beside him, Lilithia pulled out a gourd of water and handed it to him. "Here." She murmured. "Drink."As he took the gourd from her, their fingers touched. And he felt the sparks of the mate bond again. Two nights ago, with a full moon in the sky, he felt the pull of the mate bond. Minutes later,

Right after the woman stepped inside, Dom hurried in after her. He stopped at the entrance, breathing heavily. "Forgive me, Alpha. I tried to stop her.""Leave us, Dom." Kieran ordered. He sighed in relief and raced out, extremely glad to be out of there because he knew who that woman was, and he knew a lot of things were about to be revealed. The woman stepped further into the sitting room and lowered slowly into the couch. She smiled up at Kieran, then totally ignoring Gwendolyn, she looked over at Cae. "Crazy Cae, gosh you haven't changed one bit." She chuckled. "You're still the pack's crazy healer."Cae looked like she wanted to say something. But she held it back and turned to Kieran. "Leave us." Kieran murmured, answering her unasked question. She nodded, then cast a pitiful look at Gwendolyn before leaving. With her absence, the sitting room was plunged into an uncomfortable silence. Gwendolyn stood motionless, staring unbelievably at the redhead. The woman had a stran
