All Chapters of Cheated Mate: I Bonded with a Comatose Alpha: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Elena's POVThe rogue behind me stepped into view, a cruel smirk plastered on his face."Save your energy," he sneered. "You aren't fighting your way out of this. Once I drop you off at the Moonfall Pit, you'll be played with until you're dead. No one is coming for you."The Moonfall Pit. It was the darkest, most depraved underground den in the city.It was a hive for exiled rogues and illegal drugs. They made a business out of kidnapping low-tier wolves and turning them into playthings.For a she-wolf, ending up there was a death sentence—you were either used as a breeder or a prize in the fighting pits, passed around from one male to the next.I couldn't believe this was happening to me.Zander had no idea where I was. No one did.Despair coiled around my heart like a freezing snake.I tried to think of a plan, but a heavy blow to the back of my head sent me spiraling into darkness."Ugh..."When I finally came to, I was lying on a massive bed covered in crimson velvet.The room was

Elena's POVI wanted to bury my face in his chest and tell him how terrified I was.But then I remembered my promise from last night—he already had a female he loved. I didn't want to cross that line.So, I just let him carry me out of that hellhole in silence.But the second we got into the car, things spiraled.In the cramped space of the backseat, Zander's thick Alpha scent acted like fuel to the fire of the "Goddess's Tears.""Mmm..."A soft, desperate moan escaped my lips. My body felt like it was melting."You're bleeding. We need to get you to the hospital for a full check-up..."Zander said, placing me on the seat. He started to pull away to sit in the front.It was too much. I couldn't handle the cold. I reached out, hooking my arms around his neck."Don't..."My vision was a blur. From the moment I saw him in that room, Lyra had been screaming at me to grab him and never let go."Kiss me..."Before a shocked Zander could even react, I leaned in and pressed my lips to his.It

Third Person's POV"Even if my wolf doesn't click with him, I can always hire a beta to play my boyfriend," Elena said, making her point clear."Don't worry. I'll find a way to make sure Luna Hannah and Alpha Alexander let us break the bond."She looked him dead in the eye, promising every word. "I have no intention of getting between you and your fated mate."When Zander heard her say she wasn't into Dominic, that weird, heavy ache in his chest finally lifted.But when she mentioned dating an old classmate—or worse, hiring some guy to play a part—his heart skipped a beat in the worst way.A wave of pure frustration hit him, a hundred times stronger than when Dominic's name had come up.She's going to smile at another guy? Hold someone else's hand? Carry another wolf's scent?Zander's expression went cold as he forced the feeling down.He gave himself a reality check, "Zander, this is just Alpha possessiveness talking. You love Liana. She's your fated mate."As the heir to the pack, h

Third Person's POVBut tonight, he had...Zander looked down at his open collar, where the hickeys and scratches from Elena still marked his skin.His fingertips could still recall the wet, slick texture of that red leather bodysuit, and his lungs felt heavy with the memory of her intoxicating scent.He closed his eyes in agony. He felt like he couldn't even look Liana in the eye.Even though he had eventually pushed Elena away, that split second of hesitation—that surge of raw desire and the physical reaction he had just by remembering it—made him feel like a total traitor."Liana, I'm so sorry..." he cried out in his head. "I love you so much. I'll make it up to you. I'll spend the rest of my life making this right.""Please... don't hate me...""Liana... Liana..."He repeated her name like a prayer until the cold of the night finally pulled him into a deep, restless sleep.In the early hours of the morning, he fell into a vivid, surreal dream. He was in a misty forest bathed in sil

Third Person's POVZander stood there, feeling his tense muscles finally start to relax.It worked. She bought it. Now she'd never look at him as a romantic prospect again. His vow to Liana was safe.With a look of grim satisfaction, Zander turned and headed into the bathroom.He stood over the sink, tossed his lounge pants into the basin, and cranked the faucet. Clear water rushed over the fabric.As he scrubbed, his own scent mixed with the lingering traces of Elena's pheromones, rising in the small, humid space.The smell was heavy, almost carnal.It was a constant reminder of the dream he'd just had—of how he'd lost control like a beast in heat.Looking at himself in the mirror, a storm gathered in his golden eyes. This was easily the most embarrassing moment of his life.He made a silent vow to the Moon Goddess: from this moment on, he wouldn't lay a finger on Elena. And he'd never let that red-clad silhouette
