All Chapters of Mated to the Alpha Heir: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

My eyes snapped open, glancing around immediately as the harsh light pierced through. My body ached, but the pain didn't fully register at the moment. Fresh air filled my lungs greedily, until coughs raked through my body. I tried to sit up from the soft fur cot my body lay on, wincing immediately and sinking back into my original lying position. My skin crawled, hands raking across it to check for damage. "Sit still. You might injure yourself." A familiar, old voice pierced my ears. I couldn't bring my body to stay though, simply launching myself into Master Monrei's arms without thinking. "How?" My voice came out shallow and weak. The single word sent pain raking across my chest, sending me into a fit of coughs. "Get her some water and herbs." He ordered someone. My eyes snapped open just as the person left the room. It couldn't have been Marcus, that I knew. He'd have been first at my side if he could. "Don't try to talk. I know you have questions." His hands wrapped arou

Alexandra's body slumped against me, already unconscious.I could feel the gaze of the other two on me. My hands cupped the back of her knee, lifting her up into my arms while she slept."What are you going to do with her? You know she can't stay here." Master Monrei said, grunting as his body struggled to stand even with his walking stick.My eyes shifted from Alexandra to him. "I think... I think I'm going to send her home."The tension in the room heightened after that, and for good reason.Alexandra would have never agreed to this. Were we to meet again, she'd be angry and upset, but at least I know she wouldn't be dead."She doesn't like it there. Apart from her brother, they treated her like an outcast." Master Monrei pointed out.Irina, for some reason, was quick to my defence. "Alexandra's life is very important right now. Whoever bears the demon's eye shouldn't even have a mate or a family. I'm glad you and your father weren't close, because his death could have been even mor

If she wasn't already dead, I'd have killed Irina the moment she detached herself from me.The whole journey back to Moonridge was surprisingly fast.Still, traveling with her was an insufferable experience, and as soon as we reached the gates, she vanished and abandoned me.I stood there, too afraid to knock but also just as frightened of being outside the gates, where the rogues or anything could have taken me for prey.Eventually, after what felt like forever, a few scouts came back and spotted me, nearly attacking before I rushed to them and told them my name.Because why would they remember the face of the very princess they'd been sworn to protect after I was labelled a bastard."Take me to Nathan. Take me to my brother, please!" I demanded as soon as we crossed over to the pack grounds and the gate was slammed shut behind me.The three guards glanced at each other, probably skeptical."Of course you are welcome back home, princess, but weren't you mated just a week ago? Why are

Her voice echoed out of the room, high and obnoxious. "What kind of twisted prank is being played? I'll have anyone involved hanged! Do you hear me?" The door was shoved open moments later, and my mother stepped out, dressed in a glamorous fur dress, her face not at all similar to what I imagined a woman who missed her daughter would look like. Then again, if everything else shocked me, that was one thing that never would again. Her eyes widened when they fixed on me, her lips parting further like she couldn't believe what she was seeing. "Alexandra?" "Don't look so surprised, Mother. You were convinced Marcus would abandon me the moment he could." Her face shifted from shock to fake concern almost immediately. "What happened? Did he really reject you?" She sniffed the air, frowning again. "His scent is still on you. You still smell mated." "That is because I am," I said, holding my chin high. "Marcus is still my mate; I am still his future Luna. Won't you invite me in?" Her e

At first, my eyebrows drew up in confusion. It took a moment to fully understand what I was looking at. The creature before me looked like a freakish mix of my brother and Roman. His eye socket was empty now, no longer flickering like in our first fight. They were merging together faster than ever. "Where is Haeleyna?" I demanded, taking a defensive stance in case they attacked. Lucien... Roman... laughed. "Your brother told me she was the only one besides that bastard mate of yours that would make you foolish enough to come here." I felt anger burning through my veins. It took me a moment to calm down, and even then my throat felt clogged. "Where is she?" "All you have to do, Marcus, is give me the eye. Give me the eye and you can rule by my side. Your brother will understand. All you have to do is give me my power back, and all this death and destruction can be avoided." I hated him for being here, and I hated myself even more for considering what he offered. Because to him
