All Chapters of Mated to the Alpha Heir: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I stood beside my parents in the grand hall, not as their daughter, but as a slave. Their eyes were glued to the large bronze doors at the far end of the room, awaiting the entrance of my brother, their pride and joy, and the only person in this family who could bother to be kind to me. “Alexandra, get out of here. You’re embarrassing us in front of the guests.” My mother pressed her claws into the fabric of my faded green sundress, a stark contrast to the expensive clothes she and Father wore. I’d spent hours with the other servants, cleaning and cooking to get everything ready for my brother’s coming-of-age celebration. Nothing was going to make me miss Nathan’s big moment. Father glared at me, urging me to obey. Even now, he still had that look of pure disgust, even though it had been years since I was not only revealed to be an omega, but also the result of an affair my mother had. My gaze dropped to the floor, staring at my feet as I walked away rather than at the crowd of n

My mate offered almost no struggle, following me out quietly. My father’s words occupied my mind like weeds, too stubborn to die down, but the bond chased off the echo quickly.We walked toward the edge of the grounds where the convoy of my pack was. In the harsh sunlight, the bruises that painted her trembling skin were even more evident, spiking an anger that felt foreign to me.I was almost tempted to return to the pack house to break the hand Alpha Mattias had used to strike her delicate face, but that would mean leaving her side. Her scent.It was even stronger than it had been in the hall, and that had been enough to drive me away from my father’s side to the corner where that alpha had been harassing her.Something had flared inside me then. A deep and possessive feeling that had cleared all logical reasoning. My wolf howled for me to save the omega girl dressed in rags instead of silk.“What is your name?”Her gaze snapped away from the ground to face me, distant like her mind

The Ashclaw packhouse was exactly as the stories described.Large. So large one could get lost in the halls for days. The carriage had carried us past the outer gate where the town was, and stopped at the ancestral packhouse.“Welcome back, Alpha Damarus.” A woman stepped out of the large palace-like building, moving towards us. “We were not expecting you till dawn.”“Something unexpected came up.” I felt Alpha Damarus shift his gaze to me. That one glance was enough to make me shrink behind Marcus, and his hand holding mine was all that kept me from running back into the carriage.“Take my mate’s bag to a room in my chambers.” I almost flinched at the commanding tone Marcus used to address the maid.Her eyes widened, shifting to me like she couldn’t believe what she was seeing. I almost couldn’t believe it as well, but one of the maids that had accompanied her surged forward, taking the bag from my hand while bowing deeply.I hesitated before releasing it. That was my whole life in t

My family had proved time and again to be the bane of my existence. While my father was tolerable, hoping to keep me under his control by doing so, my brother dedicated so much time and effort to making my life miserable. Lucien's voice echoed through the room, causing Alexandra to flinch. She had been skittish since my arrival, glancing around the room nervously. Something was bothering her, but her lips snapped shut the moment Lucien's fist touched the door. I released her hand, standing to my full height and glancing at the door. "Stay here. I'll be right back." She opened her mouth, causing me to pause. Her eyes widened and she sank back into the water, cheeks red. I stood there for a moment, hoping she would speak though it was clear she had decided against it. The knocking continued, drawing my attention away from her. My irritation grew with each step towards the door, and it took all my self control not to attack him when I shoved the door open. Lucien stood in his br

Everything happened in a blur.The guards surrounded Alpha Damarus, prepared to protect their Alpha, then they all dropped to the floor, shaking violently."Marcus, control yourself. This is not the time for you to lose your senses." For the first time since I'd met him, Alpha Damarus's voice wavered, like even he was afraid of Marcus.My eyes shifted from the soldiers collapsed on the floor to my mate, approaching his father with dead eyes.Whatever curse it was Marcus had must have been the reason for all his extraordinary abilities, messing with the weather, killing people so easily, and bringing so many warriors to their knees without doing anything.But all that had come with a price, and it seemed Marcus was still paying it.I scooted forward on my hands and knees, the towel wrapped around my body nearly falling off. "Alpha. Marcus, it's me."Marcus stopped, tilting his head towards me and growling."It's Alexandra."Before another word could leave my lips, he growled again, onl
