All Chapters of Her True Mate: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Lucas P.O.V.Nighttime has always been my favourite. The calm, the quiet. People sleeping like the world around them can’t explode at any time, and those on guard playing games and drinking, not having a care in the world. The sky overhead the inner courtyard is black, with stars scattered and blinking like diamonds. The mansion has been quiet for some time, and I know my mate went to bed over an hour ago. I also know Coco the annoying is watching over her from the shadows in the hallway, making sure no one gets near her room while she is sleeping. Not that either of us for one second thinks she can’t defend herself, but because we don’t want her to in the first place. I make sure no one sees me as I slip out of the barracks where I’m meant to sleep. I need to do something tonight, and I don’t need anyone to notice me doing it. Especially not my brother, Jessica or that annoying other half of my mate. How she can stand being near his pompous self is beyond me, but it is what it is,

Maddison P.O.V.The packborder is silent. The kind of silent that makes the hairs on my neck stand on end and keeps Ember alert in my mind. I told Liam I needed time to process, to think and to get my feelings in order. He never argued. He kissed my temple and asked me not to burn down the border, or kill too many rogues should I come into contact with some, but mindlink the warriors and keep them at bay until they arrived. He didn’t hover. I love that man to death. Even after I faced Jessica, after she used foul dark magic tricks to give her an advantage and almost succeeded, he didn't hover. He knows I can still hold my own. He knows I’m itching to fight someone. He just asked me to be careful, and told me he was there when I came back and wanted to talk. I still have absolutely no idea how I got so lucky to have Liam as my mate, or Blackmoon as my pack, but I made a promise to myself long ago that I would die protecting him and them. As long as he and my children get a chance to l

Lucas P.O.V.Home. Or my childhood home. Whatever we call it, I’m glad to see it, although I wish I could have brought my mate with me today. I sigh as the gates open, not breaking my stride towards the open castle doors, and then smile as Alira runs out from the shadows of the side pillar and squeals at the sight of me. “Big brother!” She yells, her arms flailing, her hair rushing behind her in her eager to reach me. I crouch down to embrace her, lifting her into my arms and kissing her cheeks. She giggles, smiling from ear to ear. I notice she has a small diadem in her hair today, a dress with beads and pearls, and she smells of moms favourite soap; lilly of the valley.“Hi Princess, did you miss me?” I ask, and she nods. “Yes!” She answers, leaning her head on my shoulder as I start walking again. A nursemaid has appeared in the gap between door and pillar, she nods to me as I pass her, following behind quietly as I enter the castle with Alira still in my arms. She is telling m

Cian P.O.V. One of the goons charges me as I stand before the children, and I let my wings appear so I can cover them and still see my attacker. One of the children, a girl, steps out from my wings, her eyes changing to gold as she calls her powers. My inner self tingles with familiarity, and then he is upon me with his weapon. I have summoned my own sword, and whip it up in defense, making magic from my hands flow into it. It shatters his baton, and sends flying backwards. I do not follow him, but stay put with the children and the girl at my side, pointing her hand at the man who I blocked, making a twisting motion and then he howls in pain before bursting from within splattering the floor with blood and other nastiness. She smirks, steps back a little and nods. “Well done, little one.” I praise her and she gives me a giant smile showing all her teeth. Something about her makes all of the hair in the nape of my neck stand on end, but I do not have time to dwell anymore on it, ot

Maddison P.O.V.It takes everything in me not to kill the captured enemy right on the spot, and feeling Liam through our bond lets me know I’m not alone in my murderous thoughts. I know objectively we can’t, and when they are led away by the guards, I heave a sigh of equal contempt for their try to get to the kids and relief that they didn’t succeed. “Your Highness,” I bow my head to the demon Prince, knowing he was the one who initially sensed something was off and alerted Prince Lucas. “I want to sincerely thank you for the warning, and for protecting my children and the children of the other guests and the King and Queen.” “Thank you Luna, but it was my pleasure to be of service. Now at least I hope I have shown without a doubt I am not my fathers child, and will do the right thing.” I smile at his answers. Humble, but also with a purpose. “I cannot speak for others, your Grace, but..” “You speak for all I believe Luna.” King Cameron says, walking over with his Queen and his so
