All Chapters of The Alpha's Mistaken Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

West Woodland, Paris.Serena’s POV The shiver that slid down my spine had nothing to do with the airport’s overzealous air conditioning. The second I headed toward the exit, I felt that unmistakable prickle of being watched, which was ridiculous if you ask me.I mean, this place was packed with travelers, families reuniting, couples kissing like they were auditioning for a rom-com.I was here on my own for an unplanned vacation, so there was no way anyone was paying special attention to me.I tugged my jacket tighter anyway and glanced around, my lips curving into what I knew was a convincing smile. Everyone else’s smiles seemed effortless and bright, you know, like the kind that reached their eyes. But mine was a professional-level performance. It was convincing, but it was empty, if I do say so myself.Out of the corner of my eye, a man walked towards me, or so I thought, I wasn't sure. I turned just in time to get a proper look at him, and… wow.Okay, that explained the shiver I h

Serena’s POVDrenched in sweat, I woke up with a scrambled mind, and for a moment, I couldn’t even tell where I was. My mind was blank as I looked around the room, the fine fabric on the bed, the rich fibre curtains, and everything else in this room.A moment later, I remembered where I was, kidnapped, in that man’s house. It was strange though, that a kidnapped woman such as myself was fed last night with the most delicious chicken soup I had ever tasted, kept me in a room this nice with soft bed and all of that, and still, yet to contact anyone to ask for a ransom.Wait, had he done that already? Was that why he collected my phone? That wasn’t possible. If he had contacted my sister, I was sure he would have also needed me to speak with her, at least, to show proof of life.I pushed myself upright and dragged a hand down my face, my heart still racing like I had been running from something in my sleep. My sheets were damp, my hair stuck to my neck, and whatever dream I had been havin

Serena’s POVA knock sounded against my door that evening and I sighed, pushing back the blanket against my leg before standing up.“One minute,” I called, walking to the mirror to straighten my hair and make sure I didn’t look miserable before opening the door, because for all I knew, it was Galatia at the door and the last thing I wanted was to let him see me that way.After I was satisfied with my look, I walked over to the door and unlocked it. I then pulled it open a crack to reveal a Dahlia. Relieved, I opened the heavily carved door fully.“Good evening, Ms. Harp. Mr. Berk asked that you come down for dinner.” She said.I folded my arms across my chest, giving her a surprised look. I didn’t think Galatia would want to see me after what happened this morning. “Why? I can just eat my dinner in here.”Dahlia hesitated for a fraction of a second, and that alone told me this wasn’t a casual invitation.“I was told to get you for dinner, Ms. Harp,” she said carefully, the kind of car

Galatia’s POVAudrey handed me a cup of steaming hot black coffee, just the way I like it, just liked my heart. The morning sky was clear, but it felt like the raining season was getting nearer than normal.“Thank you, sis.” I said and she smiled, nodding her head before sitting beside me on the patio.I had been able to avoid her last night, following Sidney upstairs to her room in the guise of having a lover’s intimacy, even though I was sure Audrey didn’t really buy it.If anything, she knew I was just trying to avoid talking to her. Aside being a psychologist, she was a seer; a gift she had as a wolf, and that was enough to see through me.I guess now was the time, I couldn’t escape the questions I knew was coming.“So… That woman, Ms. Harp, huh…” she said, smiling in a teasing way as she looked at me. “Is she really your girlfriend?” She asked.I wasn’t sure the best way to answer this, so I decided it was best to tell her the truth. “Well, she’s my mate, Audrey, but more importa

Serena’s POVThe house was really quiet by the time I was ready. I decided that leaving with my luggage would bring an attention I didn’t want, not with Dahlia always watching me like a hawk, or Audrey… who still hadn’t left, or talk to me about my nightmares like she promised.I gathered my sandals and handbag, the one Galatia had forgotten to seize with my phone, and then I slipped out of my room, slowly, as silently as I could.I paused just outside my door, listening to hear if there was any sound, but there was nothing; no footsteps, or voices. There was just silence stretching down the hallway like an invitation I that I needed to go now.Good!Clutching my sandals in one hand and my bag in the other, I walked slowly, barefoot. My heart thudded so loudly in my chest and I was half convinced it would give me away before anything else did.This was it. If I made it out the front door, I had a chance.A slim, fragile, probably stupid chance, because I wasn't sure how I would make i
