All Chapters of My Alpha Next Door : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

~∆~ Mariah's POV ~∆~I stand at the edge of the portal in Rain's family's old territory, staring at the swirling blue light that's become so familiar to me over the past six months. This is my fourth visit to Farifilia, and each time I hope things will be different. But they never are."You ready?" Rain asks, taking my hand. He doesn't have to come with me, but he always does. That's just who he is."Yeah. Let's get this over with."We step through together, and the familiar cold rushes over my skin as we cross between worlds. When we step out on the other side, Farifilia looks exactly the same as it always does. Beautiful, cruel mystics and perfect.A guard meets us immediately. They always do."Princess Mariah," he says with a bow that makes me uncomfortable. "Prince Albert is in the healing chamber.""Is there any chance?" I ask, even though I know the answer."No, Princess. Both souls remain in stasis."My heart sinks, but I force myself to keep walking. Rain squeezes my hand.T

~∆~ Kane's POV ~∆~The moment she stepped into view, everything inside me went completely insane.Ray, my wolf, started pulling at my mind as if he was trying to rip his way out of me. I'd never felt him this wild. Not even when I found our mate.'Familiar. She is familiar.' Ray's word kept bouncing around my head as I watched her break eye and leaves. As she passed, her scent suddenly fills my lungs.Wildflowers. Fresh and sweet, like a field in spring after it rains. It slammed into me so hard I actually stopped breathing for a second. Heat rushed through my entire body, settling low in my loins that made it me shift in my seat.What the hell is going on? Every shift in my seat only made it worse. My mate had never made me feel like this. Nothing had ever made me feel like this. It was like my body was rebelling against me, responding to this stranger in a way that made no sense.She was human. I could tell that much. But why was I reacting this way? I just found my mate. Eva was pe

~∆~ Kane's POV ~∆~I ended the call and stared at the phone in my hand trying to cool my mind. Eva's cheerful voice still played in my ears. Her excitement that I didn't feel.Guilt rushed through me. Choking me. What had I just done? What the hell had I just done?I'd kissed another woman. Touched her. Been seconds away from doing things I had no right to do with someone who wasn't my mate.And the worst part? I'd wanted it. Every second of it. Even now, standing here with my shirt hanging open and her scent still clinging to my skin, part of me wanted to go back and finish what we'd started.I forced myself to turn around, to look at the spot where I'd left her against the wall.She was gone.Relief flooded through me so fast it made me dizzy. "At least she had sense," I whispered out loud to the empty alley. At least one of us did.But underneath the relief was that uncomfortable sadness and disappointment.I shook my head hard, trying to clear it. What was wrong with me? I didn't

~ Kane's POV ~∆~I woke up feeling like my skin was on fire.It had been a day and a half since that night at the club. A day since I'd kissed Angel in that alley. A day and a half of trying to convince myself it meant nothing and failing miserably.Eva hadn't come back home. She was still at her parents' house, giving us both "space to think." I should have been using that time to figure out my relationship, to understand what I wanted.Instead, all I could think about was the scent of wildflowers. But this morning was different. As I look at myself in the mirror. I knew this was a painful physical need that I couldn't explain or understand.I went back to my bed and then got out of bed because I was too restless. Heat coursed through my entire veins, settling low in my groin with an intensity that made me gasp.What the hell was wrong with me?I was hard. Painfully, hard in a way that made no sense. I hadn't been dreaming about anything. Hadn't been thinking about anything before I

~∆~ Sophia's POV ~∆~(18+)I woke to the sensation of lips on my neck, it was hot and demanding, trailing across my skin.For a moment, I was confused, caught between sleep and anxiety, I was worried it could be my pervert landlord. But then I felt the hotness. It was the unmistakable, burning warmth that came off his skin earlier.This has to be Kane.My eyes flew open, and I could see again. I adjusted my eyes to the dim lighting of my room as I thought night must have fallen while we'd been tangled together. I could see the darkened ceiling of my bedroom, the moonlight streaming through the window, and that feels so good. "Kane," I breathed, turning my head to look at him.He pulled back just enough to meet my gaze, and what I saw made my breath catch. His blue eyes were dark, filled with desire, his face red That strange warmth was still there, and it was even worse. There was something almost wild in the way he looked at me."You're awake. Good." His deep voice was rough, comma
