All Chapters of The Alpha and his Awaited Mate: Chapter 351 - Chapter 357

AidenI lean back against the headboard of my bed, watching Julie as she paces the length of my old bedroom. The quiet of the space feels strange after the emotional explosion downstairs, but the energy humming between us is completely electric. Her cheeks are still slightly flushed, and there is a restless, excited sparkle in her eyes that tells me her mind is running at a hundred miles an hour."I can't believe it…” she says, finally stopping and turning to face me. "A royal elven… Celine and Liam’s baby, another moon wolf. My...mind-reading ability. Sebastian and Ashton's cross-country trip, and then a baby via surrogacy! Aiden, my head is literally spinning, but I want to start training as soon as possible. I want to see what else I can do.” She grins.I chuckle, captivated by her fierce spirit, and pat the mattress beside me. "Come here, you little overachiever. Sit down before you pace a hole in my mother’s floor.”She rolls her eyes but walks over, sliding onto the bed next t

XanderThe hum of the base cafeteria is usually a welcome break, but today, the tension in the air is thick enough to cut with a combat knife. I keep my shoulders back and my eyes straight ahead, walking toward the lunch line in my pristine uniform.I’m a second lieutenant now. Only a couple of guys from my original training group have made it this far, this fast. I gave blood, sweat, and every ounce of my sanity to these training phases, and earning the Commander's Coin for exceptional work should have been a proud moment.Instead, it painted a massive target on my back.As I pass a table of trainees—guys I used to sit with—the whispers start. They aren't even trying to hide it.”That’s him… I heard he’s sleeping with one of the Sergeants. How else could you get ahead so fast…”My jaw tightens. I keep walking, gripping my lunch tray a little harder. Ignore them, Xander. They’re just bitter. But as I move further into the room, the toxic murmurs keep piling up, echoing from different

AshtonThe bedroom is pitch black, the absolute silence of the pack house broken only by the rhythmic, steady breathing of the man sleeping under me. It’s barely four in the morning. We don’t have to leave for another few hours, but sleep is a lost cause for me.Cassian is pacing a restless circle in my chest, his ears pinned back. The closer we get to the departure time, the tighter the knot in my stomach twists. It’s the sheer weight of the unknown. We are stepping straight into the lion's den, flying toward a pack that has every reason to look at me with hostility.As a quiet, involuntary sigh slips past my lips, the broad arm draped over my waist suddenly tightens.Sebastian shifts. He isn't fully awake yet, but his instincts are always finely tuned to my distress. He rolls us over, chest to chest, instantly wrapping me in his suffocatingly warm embrace. He buries his face into the crook of my neck, nuzzling against my skin with a deep, rumbling vibration that vibrates straight th

The chime sounds throughout the cabin as the seatbelt sign illuminates, but nobody makes a move to separate. I keep my arms locked securely around Ashton, and he doesn't even try to shift back to his own seat. He just tightens his grip on my shirt, bracing himself as the private jet begins to taxi out onto the active runway.The roar of the twin engines deepens from a low hum to a powerful, chest-vibrating rumble as the pilots throttle up. We accelerate down the tarmac, a smooth, heavy surge of G-force pressing us back into the leather seats, and then the nose lifts. The ground drops away beneath the jet, and we soar straight up through the morning clouds, chasing the sun.The moment we level out at cruising altitude, the chime rings again, and the cabin instantly erupts back into life. The heavy silence of takeoff is blasted away by the pure, chaotic warmth of our family."Alright, we are officially at thirty-thousand feet, which means it is legally time for snacks!” Xander unbuckles
