All Chapters of The Alpha King’s Broken Mate : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Waking up the next morning, back at palace and wrapped up in Sebastian warm arms, it was the first time in what feels like a lifetime, that I can finally take a breath. There was no longer this deep hidden weight that rested upon my shoulders or any sense of guilt for all that’s happened, now all of my family sat safely within the walls of the palace which had been my safe haven, I felt as though I could relax but only a little, Alpha Stephen was still out there planning who knows what. As Sebastian had explained to me yesterday and why it was so important that we finally, completed the mating process, the documentation with all the evidence surrounding my years of abuse was handed to the board last night. It would most likely be a huge topic of discussion today where Alpha Stephen will soon get word of, to him, he will need to get rid of me and anyone else who has a word to say against him to ensure he cannot be punished for all he’s done. If he was dangerous before this point, I d

Once breakfast had concluded with my father sharing even more stories of him and his brother growing up, the pair of them getting into some scraps through the years, we left the dining room and headed towards Sebastian’s office. Fletcher but also, a man I had not met before walking behind us, both in suits and holding what appeared to be the same clipboard. When we entered Sebastian’s office and the unknown man in question followed also, it confirmed my suspicions from the start, a little hint of worry in the pit of my stomach once I’m led past the piano and over to Sebastian’s desk. “Bridget, allow me to introduce you to my Gamma Lee, as Fletcher had explained some days ago, when you are more comfortable, it is Lee who will be aiding you on your Queen duties.” Sebastian explained fixing his suit before his hand was in my lap again, he was rather aware of how cautious I am around men I didn’t know and even though it was terrifying in this moment, I knew he wouldn’t introduce me to

Once Bridget’s guards had arrived to watch her as she sat getting more air in the gardens of the palace, Sebastian walked down the halls closer to a somewhat forgotten meeting room at the very back of the palace. It was so far from his office that he didn’t believe he’d ever entered but with how far away it was from his mate, it was the perfect place. The videos which were played in his office showing the evil way Alpha Stephen would beat Bridget, they caused the deepest anger he believed he had ever experienced in all of his life; it was as though he was burning up as the rage flowed through him. Whenever Bridget has recounted all that she went through and the sight of her scars, Sebastian was furious and the need to avenge his mate was all he thought about. But now he had been given the visual evidence of all that disgusting Alpha had done, the way his mate would cower away and the extensive injuries littering her face and hands, it took all that he held within him not to shift

The next week seemed to go by incredibly quickly; Sebastian and I were pulled into numerous meetings with Lee and other officials going over each detail surrounding my coronation, fitting me for my dress and crown and having us recite the day repeatedly to ensure we knew the steps so well, we could do it without much thought. By the end of the final meeting, my brain was so consumed with all thing's coronation, dresses and crowns that it felt as though I’d already done it multiple times. So, as I stood in front of the large mirror in the special dressing room I’d been given, my brown hair curled at the bottom, some light makeup on my face and the beautiful gown that was designed and made just for me, it was as though I was looking at a completely different person. It was odd to not get to spend those first few hours with Sebastian in the morning, it had become my favourite thing to do in the day, I get him all to myself, eating breakfast and simply being with one another. But as

Upon hearing this news, my hand is taken, and I’m pulled away from my family and out of the ballroom, Fletcher and Lee in tow as we followed the guard. Usually, it was only Sebastian that would handle matters such as this but now I’d just been crowned as Queen, it was also my responsibility. So, as we walked through another back room I was unaware even existed, I couldn’t help the shock and confusion that rippled through me when I spotted around four people laying on makeshift beds. Their entire bodies coated with the biggest sweat beads I believe I had ever seen in my life, their mouths oozing with an odd green substance and their eyes, almost completely rolled at the back of their heads. “Here they are your majesty’s, each of them seemed to complain of abdominal discomfort upon arriving to the celebration and subsequently, seemed to worsen. We have doctors on call who are assessing them but do not seem to know what is causing such discomfort and reactions.” The guard who had com
