All Chapters of Mated To The Brutal Alpha: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

TessaNow that Renric has gone and all eyes are still on me, I literally do not know what to do from here. I have never been in the position of power before and the one person who would have guarded me, I just sent him away.My friends somehow notice how tense I am, they glance at each other and nod towards Freya who walks towards me.“Should you need anything, I will be around.” the high priestess says, giving a slight bow. “All you have to do is send for me and I will be at your service.”“Thank you,” I say, widening my cheeks a bit.She walks to a small hut and her acolytes follow suit. I never actually knew the colony includes a place where the high priestess stays. It isn't like this in the north.“Tessa,” Freya calls, bringing back my attention to her. “Alpha Renric didn't seem happy leaving,” she stares at me in anticipation. “I don’t mean to intrude but he was the one who brought us here, he even went to the extent of making sure we were well fed and I am guessing it’s becaus

TessaThe event hall is larger than I imagined, sunlight pouring through towering stained-glass windows. Hundreds of candles flicker beneath enormous chandeliers while banners bearing the crest of Eastern Lythengar hang proudly from the walls.My heartbeat pounds against my ribs. Every noble, alpha and council member is here. They are all watching me, their eyes not fully accepting me.The girl who used to mob floors, now the Lycan Queen. I can feel the disgust in some of their eyes but I believe it is a gradual process. They will one day get used to this reality as well.The High Priestess stands before me, dressed in ceremonial white robes embroidered with silver moon symbols as I kneel on the raised dais.Behind me, everyone stands in respectful silence. The hall is so quiet I can hear my own breathing.The High Priestess raises the crown, the silver metal glittering beneath the light.I lower my head."In the sight of the Moon Goddess..." Her voice echoes throughout the hall. "In

TessaThe funeral feels endless. The entire packs of the eastern Lythengar gather beneath a grey sky that seems determined to mourn alongside us. Black banners bearing the Pedaron crest flutter softly in the wind while hundreds of werewolves stand in complete silence.At the center rests Lennox's coffin.I never knew he was loved by so many. He really was a good man and Damon’s obsession killed him!I still cannot believe he's gone. I still remember the first time we met, how he persuaded Renric about my innocence. His reign would have been long and marvelous.My fingers tighten around each other as I stare at the carved silver wolf resting atop the coffin.I look around and see nobles bowing their heads, Alphas standing motionless, the priestesses whispering some prayers. And in this moment, my gaze drifts to Lucy.She stands near the front, dressed entirely in black. Silent, still and broken. No dramatic sobbing but tears slide down her cheeks as she stares at Lennox's coffin.She t

TessaHis certainty is quite scary. He literally believes I'm going to be his wife. I doubt he knows I got my heart entangled with Kael and Renric. He probably believes since I was sold to Renric, there shouldn't be any form of attraction.Well, we can't tell our heart who to love."Alright then."His smile deepens slightly, as though he wasn't entirely sure I would agree. "Good." He gestures toward the manor. "Let me take you to your room."I blink. "My room?"He begins walking. "Yes."Now this is getting more interesting. What exactly is he doing? I mean, he actually prepared a room for me in the same Alpha's lodge I've been working in my entire life.I quickly follow beside him. "You already had a room prepared for me?"The corner of his mouth twitches. "Was I supposed to let my honorable guest wander around searching for one herself?"Despite myself, I almost smile.“And you need not to worry about your companions. They'll be taken care of."I hate how reassuring that sounds.We e

Tessa Slowly, I close the file, my appetite disappearing entirely. "I'll need to discuss this with my council."He doesn't seem surprised. In fact, he almost looks pleased. "Of course." He leans back in his chair, swirling the drink in his glass. "Take your time," he continues, a sly smile touching his lips. "But I expect an answer within two days.”Something about the way he says it makes me uneasy.Why two days? Everything suddenly feels like a race against time. Renric's trial, the baby and now this.I force myself to nod. "Two days."Satisfied, he returns to his meal. But for the remainder of dinner I barely taste anything.*****The following morning, I leave for the East. Damon waves me goodbye and winks at me like we are already a thing.“I'm sure you're going to enjoy me for a husband,” he teases, smiling. “Unlike Renric, I won't let any harm befall you.”That part annoys me but I ignore him and enter the van.Sooner than later, we get to the colony gates, exhaustion sitting
