Alle Kapitel von Unmarked by the Alpha: Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 10

Aurora opened her eyes at first, and it was blurry. She closed and opened them again, and only then did her sight begin to come back to normal. She had been knocked unconscious by an unknown person.She wasn’t in pain, though; whoever had knocked her out did not want to inflict pain, maybe.Realizing her surroundings, she quickly rushed to her feet.She wasn’t in a room like the ones she had seen moments ago; it was a prison-like room. There were steel bars, a big single window at the back, and a large mirror-glass wall that looked like it sealed the main entrance. One would have to open the big mirror-glass to get to the bars and then into the room.She looked around and didn’t find anything like a bed or chair. This didn’t raise an alarm to her because, from what she knew, kidnappers put their victims in a room with either a chair or a bed, or both. If there were none in the room, it could only be that she wasn’t kidnapped.What then could she be doing here? How did she end up here?

“Aurora?”Moira called out when she came back to her room and couldn’t find or smell her daughter. Her belongings were still in the room, even her phone; calling her was impossible.Moira panicked a bit; her daughter, amid werewolves, was unsettling for her, but she had allowed Aurora to come over because she thought she could protect her…at least. But now, she couldn’t find her daughter, and fear began to creep in.“Where could she be?” No one in the house except her, the compound guard, and the assigned maid who led Aurora knew that her daughter was coming over to the mansion.Moira couldn’t go around to start asking about her daughter’s whereabouts, even if she wanted to; Aurora’s visit isn’t something the entire family expected, and it could be dire for Moira.Just as Moira stood still, trying to figure out what to do next, she perceived a familiar and powerful smell; the Alpha had returned from his meeting with the council. This was trouble.“Call me Luke and Moira, and get me a

Theodore lay on his bed. He still couldn’t wrap his head around what had transpired between him and Ingrid earlier. Although he was a werewolf, his wolf had never once spoken to him, just growls, feelings, and instincts; now it was left for him to figure out what his wolf’s actions meant.A knock disrupted his thought process,“Come in.”Luke stepped in, “Young master.” His face was expressionless, head slightly bowed, “Your father seeks the presence of the whole family in an early dinner.”“Tell him I’ll pass, I’m not hungry.”“He suspected you would decline, and as a last resort, he said to tell you that it was important,” Luke said, “’ An introductory early dinner’ he calls it, young master.”“Introductory?” Theodore asked, looking at Luke for the first time since Luke entered the room. “Who’s our guest?”“I am not permitted to say, young master.”Theodore sighed, “Fine then,” he said, “I will be right down in a minute.”Luke bowed and left.Aurora was led to the dining room, where

Ingrid visited the mansion the following day. On her way to Theodore’s room, she came across Aurora, who seemed to be heading out of the house.“Greetings, madam.” Aurora greeted.“Who are you?” Ingrid asked curiously, sniffing the air, “Human. What are you doing here?”Aurora felt offended; she lifted her arm a little and took discreet, brief sniffs. ‘Is she implying that I smell bad?’ She thought to herself.Ingrid saw Aurora’s action, “Exactly,” as though she read Aurora’s mind, “Humans smell awful, they disgust me.”Aurora clenched her fists tightly. She didn’t know this woman, nor had she ever met her before in her life, and she dared to make such a statement? Was she asking for a fight?“I’m sorry if my presence disgusts you.” Aurora apologized, bowing her head.She was a stranger in this house and didn’t want to disappoint Brynn by repaying his kindness by annoying a guest, who might be of great importance to the family.“I shall leave now.” Aurora turned to leave.“I believe I

“A ‘nobody’, you called her.” Ingrid’s eyes looked out of Theodore’s window, into the garden, where she could see Brynn laughing hard at Aurora’s jokes.“But she seemed to be having a great time with your father, one would think that she is the favourite child.” She said, with an underlying angry tone.She hadn’t gotten over the fact that Brynn had embarrassed her in front of a human.“How long have you been standing there?” Theodore said, coming out of the bathroom, with his bare chest and a towel around his waist.“She isn’t worth your time.” He held Ingrid from behind.“You think so?”“Don’t tell me you feel threatened by her.” He bent his head to meet Ingrid’s eyes.She looked at him, “I’m not threatened by her.” She lifted her brows, “But when she is giving the father of my soon-to-be mate, the best laughs of his life,” She looked back at them, “I feel worried.”Theodore kissed her neck from the side,“Aren’t you bothered about this?” Ingrid asked with a curious look.“I stopped
