The Four Alphas' chosen mate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

The ballroom was massive.There were crystal chandeliers, twenty-foot ceilings, marble floors.I knelt there, cleaning. My knees hurt. My hands were raw. And I was starving as I’d skipped breakfast to get started early.But I kept going.The pack hired cleaners yesterday and the place was sparkling clean but Morgana, my stepmother had said I must do it again.She was the one hosting the ceremony and was in charge. There was no other reason for her making me clean a place that was already clean other than the fact that she liked watching me suffer.My mom had died when I was a baby. To combat loneliness and find someone to raise his daughter, my father married another woman; Morgana, who came with her daughter from her firsr marriage, Celeste.But then Dad died when I was eight and she completely changed her attitude towards me, treating me less than a dog in my own house. Her daughter was no better and she made my life a living hell.I moved to the windows next, wiping down glass tha

I woke up panting, gasping for air. I noticed the sheets around me. I was confused. Silk sheets. What? The bed I was on was so soft and was three times bigger than my bed back home. Where am I? “She’s awake.” I sat up fast…..bad idea. Everything spun. Four men stood around the bed. The Alphas. “Easy.” Asher was closest. His blonde hair was a bit messy, his blue eyes warm. I blushed as I noticed his half unbuttoned shirt which revealed his fair chest and throat. His chest was not huge, but solid. Real. “You fainted pretty hard.” “What…..” “The bonds.” Rowan was leaning against the wall, red hair draped all over his broad sexy shoulders, arms crossed over his bare huge chest. No shirt , just jeans. I blushed and looked away, trying not to look at his abs, or the tatoo over his ribs and shoulders. Red hair fell in his eyes. “Hit you like a truck, huh?” The bonds. Right. Four golden threads connecting me to four strangers. This was insane. “Why me?” My

I woke to sunlight streaming through unfamiliar windows and an empty bed.The sheets beside me were cold. Kael was gone.My body ached in places I'd never felt before, a delicious soreness that made heat creep up my neck as memories of last night flooded back. His hands, his mouth, the way he'd looked at me like I was something precious even while he took me apart.I touched the bite mark on my shoulder. Not a claiming mark we hadn't gone that far but a possessive reminder nonetheless.The door opened. I grabbed the sheet, covering myself.But it wasn't Kael.A woman stood there. Mid-thirties, beautiful in a cold way, wearing an expensive suit. Her eyes swept over me with obvious disdain."So you're the wolfless girl." Her voice dripped with contempt. "How disappointing.""Who are you?""Sienna Blackthorn. Kael's mother." She stepped into the room like she owned it. Which, I supposed, she did. "Get dressed. We need to talk."Ten minutes later, I sat in a formal sitting room, still

"There's someone in the forest."The four Alphas froze, their good-natured teasing dissipating in the cold air."Where?" Kael’s tone was all Alpha command and it went straight to my flipping dick.I indicated the row of trees where I'd spotted the shadow."There. Just beyond the oak trees. They've been watching us."Rowan was already on the move, midstep. His wolf leapt through the bathroom window, a shower of glass and wood fragments flying in his wake as he hit the ground running.“Rowan, wait!” Asher began, but he was out the door."Fuck." Lucien pulled out his phone. "I'm calling security."Kael pulled me out of the bath, and enveloped me in a towel. "Get dressed. Now.""I can fight""Not until you can get your wolf under control." His red eyes blazed. "You shifted twice in one day.Your body needs rest, not another battle."I wanted to argue, but he was right. I could feel the exhaustion pulling at me, my wolf whimpering in the back of my mind.Tired, she admitted. But I s

The first guard made the mistake of moving forward to attack me.I didn't even move. I just grabbed his arm, I used the speed he came with to attack me against him, and slammed him face-first into the stone floor. The sound of his cracked skull echoed through the chamber."In rage mixed with excitement, I asked, anyone else?"The remaining nineteen guards paused out of fear.Behind me were my four Alphas. Four mighty wolves, snarling and ready to tear apart anyone who dares to come close.The Elders had risen from their seats, backing toward the exits."Stop them," James commanded the guards. "Kill the Alphas if you have to, but the girl must be alive.""You just made the second mistake," I said softly.Then all hell broke loose.Three guards rushed Kael. Bad idea. His mighty black wolf tore through them like they were paper, jaws closing around throats, claws ripping through flesh. “Blood..”Blood sprayed across the ancient stone.Lucien's gray wolf moved with careful planning
