Semua Bab Cheated Mate: I Bonded with a Comatose Alpha: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Pheisar's POVThe night was heavy and grim. The storm had finally let up, but the air still reeked of that damp, metallic smell of wet earth.I was lying in the Alpha suite on the top floor of the packhouse. My body was trashed, but sleep was a joke. The silk sheets beneath me felt as cold and lifeless as a corpse's skin.Elena wouldn't be able to handle this bullying scandal on her own.She had no pack for cover and no support system—she was basically public enemy number one right now.She'd come back tonight. I knew it. She'd be submissive and beg for my protection.I got it; ever since Selene came back, she'd been incredibly insecure and acting out.This time, as long as she promised to keep her hands off Selene, I'd willing to mate with her immediately. I'd let her be my Luna just to shut her up and make her feel safe, even if she really did bully Kayla.But midnight came and went. She didn't show.Chase was pacing inside me, letting out restless, jagged growls."Why isn't she her

Elena's POVHannah knew I'd been through hell yesterday—the ice water, the fever, the whole mess. To help me cheer up, she insisted on taking me on a shopping spree today.Right before we left, Emily—the girl who led the "ice bucket" mob—actually called me.She was a hysterical mess, sobbing that the Blackthorns had already reported her. She's facing a trial at the Werewolf Council and could be looking at prison or exile.She tried to play the victim, claiming she only did it because her mate had just dumped her and she "wasn't thinking straight." She begged for my forgiveness."Forgiveness?" I let out a dry laugh. "Save your tears for the Council. I'm sure the elders love a good performance."I hung up and blocked her. Lyra gave a satisfied purr in my mind.It was a gorgeous day outside. Last night's storm had washed everything clean, and the air smelled like fresh grass and earth.Walking with Hannah, her wa

Elena's POVWhen Hannah finished speaking, the room went dead silent. It was suffocating.Every noble she-wolf in the store bowed their heads in submission to Luna Hannah.I could feel the vibe shifting—the looks they were giving Naomi were now full of nothing but pure judgment and mockery."I... I didn't frame her," Naomi stammered, trying to cling to her lie.Her pheromones were turning sour and pungent with shame."You didn't?"Hannah ignored her, turning instead to the manager, Heidi, and the clerks who had backed up the lie."You're blacklisted."She didn't just fire them. Being blacklisted meant they were banned from every business under the Blackthorn umbrella. In this city, that was a career death sentence.She turned to her assistant."Every store has backup footage. Go grab it. I don't want these two claiming the Blackthorns used their muscle to bully them.""Luna Hannah! Please, I di

Elena's POVI tried to shove him off, but his Alpha body was like a mountain—heavy, solid, and pure muscle.Just as I tried to wiggle out from under him, the crimson in his eyes flared, making him look like a beast that had finally snapped its chains.A second later, he cupped the back of my head, and his lips—scorching and tasting of heavy cedarwood—slammed onto mine.He stole the air right out of my lungs. My eyes went wide. He had officially lost it.This wasn't a lover's kiss; it was a predator's claim.He was desperate, his tongue forcing its way past my teeth with a terrifying sense of possession."Zander... stop..."I managed to choke out the words, but he didn't hear me."I missed you so much..."He murmured against my lips, his voice so tender it made my heart ache, even as his actions were borderline suffocating.His hand gripped my waist while the other started shredding my nigh

Zander's POVSeeing Liana's message made my heart skip a beat—and not in a good way.A low, threatening growl rumbled in my throat. My breathing went heavy and hot.Since I woke up, I'd barely felt Shadow, my wolf, but right now he was pacing frantically in my mind, ready to rip any potential rival to shreds.I didn't even think before I started typing.Z: "With who?"Z: "Is it your ex? A man who breaks his vows isn't worth your time."Liana replied almost instantly.Liana: "Of course not! My family wants to set me up. They want me to settle down sooner rather than later."As long as it wasn't that scumbag ex-boyfriend, fine.But the thought of her out on a date with some other guy—or worse, being marked by another male..."Awoooo—!"Shadow let out a pained, bitter howl, clawing at my ribs.I wanted to tell her, "Don't let another male get his scent on you. I like you. I want to be your mate."But logic hit me like a steel cage.I was still mated to Elena.I was an Alpha; my honor and
