All Chapters of The Alpha’s human mate: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

TRICIAThe mission was set now and action needed to be taken.Gerald was on the loose now…we needed every single hand on deck for this.The estate moved fast for the rest of the afternoon, the air was filled with a certain rush and urgency.Every wolf was given a task to do, from the youngest to the oldest.Every exit was watched, every movement from each person was being monitored carefully.And still, there was no sign of Gerald anywhere on the grounds. It was like he had evaporated into thin air.That’s impossible, but still…Well, that task I left mainly for Blake and Rector…and me?Well, I spent the hours before sundown with Odalys in the garden.We wanted to practice the small parts of the ritual she could teach me without the actual anchor in hand. She gave me the basic instructions on what to do and what not.My palms pressed to the Vault wall until the symbols began to glow under my skin…giving me a sudden warmth under my skin."You are a natural at this," Odalys said, watch

Chapter Forty FourTRICIAThe moment I placed my hand on the wall, it split wide open.Exactly the way it did before, warm gold light spilled out into the red glow of the Blood Moon overhead. The two lights mingled together…painting the entire yard with a strange and ancient color.There was an earthquake that followed right after—but after a while it calmed down.I did not look back at Gerald or Blake or anyone else standing behind me. I already knew what I needed to do, and I did not need permission to do it. My palms were flat against the stone, the symbols blazing under my skin, the Vault humming in response to my touch.Odalys was at my side in seconds. The real anchor was unwrapped now, cradled carefully in both hands, humming faintly against her palms. The light it emitted was soft and warm, like a heartbeat made visible.The First Wolf stepped out from the darkness of the open Vault. Its massive white body was silhouetted against the gold glow.It turned and the moment it

TRICIAEveryone froze for a long while. I did for sure…. She was here?! The Council lady was here?!! How and why?The moment the token that Charlotte placed down stopped humming and silence fell—Blake didn’t let it last long. He snapped to Rector at once. “Tell the guards...all entries and exits should be sealed up. Now!”Rector nodded sharply and stepped away. Odalys and Xavier arrived just as Rector walked away then. “What’s happening?”Xavier asked sharply.Blake turned to Xavier at once. “With me now.” And just like that, the two of them stepped away.And so…that tense silence fell again in the estate. The type of quiet I have learned to hate so damn much… the kind that meant something bad was coming but no one knew exactly when or where.I sat with Charlotte while Blake and Xavier organized the search, going room by room, corridor by corridor, checking every face against every name on the household roster.Odalys who stood by the doorway and observing the search happening, tu

Chapter Forty EightTRICIAIt didn’t take a genius to see that Voss didn’t trust Blake one bit. A common case of the sins of the father passing to the son.If I needed to really break something here, I needed to talk to Voss alone…I stepped forward then to her and leaned over. “Magistrate Selene, can we talk?”“Just us.” My tone was soft and light. Her eyes stayed on me for a beat long, then she nodded.“No.” Blake’s cold voice cut in then. “Whatever you need to talk…it should be said here.”I turned to him and walked forward. “I need to speak with her.” My tone was low so that only he could hear.“I will not leave you only with her..” he shot back, his tone low as well.“Do you trust me?” That question made me pause. He froze for a breath, then nodded.“I do.”“Then trust that I’ll handle this.”I could see the conflict in his eyes…the battle raging on there. He glanced back at Voss behind me, then back to me. Then he sighed.“Fine..”And so, myself and Voss walked through the ga

TRICIAWho? Who was the note talking about?Voss? Odalys? I read the torn note three times before the meaning settled into my chest like a stone."The woman who taught her to trust the wrong people first," I said out loud, and the second I said it, one name rose up before I could stop it."Charlotte," I said almost instinctively then.It was her. It had to be!Blake's eyes darkened the moment I said that, but he did not dismiss it. That told me he had already been circling the same thought. His grey eyes were cold, calculating, the way they got when he was about to confront someone."She came back to warn us," he said slowly. "She brought us the information about Selene. She told us about the Council's plan.""Which is exactly what someone who wanted to look helpful would do," I said. "Especially if they were still working for the other side."“We need to find her. Now.” Rector nodded and led us to the guest wing section of the estate.“This is hers.” We stopped in front of the doo
