All Chapters of Mated to the Alpha Heir: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

My heart clenched as Roman stood to his full height, his body shifting back to its human form.Nausea threatened to clog my throat shut as my gaze shifted from him to the twitching body on the floor, emptied of all life."This fight is meaningless. I can't take the eye from you. You have to give it to me." Roman muttered, adjusting his jaw.The wound at his side from my claws gradually faded as well, followed by all the other bruises.He could heal himself too. Fast. Faster than I ever could."You want to find your haeleyna right?" His lips curved up into a sadistic smirk. "She's on her way to wherever it is you hid that bastard you call a mate. Once I have her, I wonder how long it'll take you to crack and you give me what I want."For a moment time seemed to freeze.Haeleyna wasn't here. She was going to Alexandra.From the look on Lucien's face, I could tell there was more to this. "What are you saying?"He laughed, turning and walking towards the door. "Even if you were able to te

It took me almost two hours to examine each painting.By the end, I was drenched in sweat and frustration.My fist slammed into one, driving a hole into my mother's perfectly tailored dress.Her lips were curved up, smiling down at me mockingly.I felt myself ready to give up. What was left to check? Every painting in this room was just another painting.My mother would never keep anything of remote importance in the halls.The only two rooms that actually mattered to her were this throne room and... her room.I sucked in a breath, shocked for a moment that my mind would ever consider doing something like that.But then my feet were moving, and I couldn't stop them. Not until they came to a halt right in front of her bedroom.I felt my heart racing in my chest as I stared at the bronze door standing between me and a secret that was probably never meant to be told.My time was far spent. The guard would only be fooled for so long before he realized I wasn't asleep in my bed.And then h

My body shot up, eyes wide as I approached her. "What do you mean? Is that why you look like this?"She nodded weakly, her body flickering. "Before he concentrated mostly on keeping our essence alive, now he's redirecting all his power towards killing Marcus, and now that's killing me."I helped her sit on the floor, keeping my touch light. "How do we stop it?"She shook her head, forcing more words out. "That's not why I'm here. Something is coming. Something big."My eyebrow shot up. "What do you mean? Something is coming to Moonridge?"She nodded, reaching out to grip my arm. For the first time ever, her touch felt real, warm and human. "That girl, the blonde one, she's leading them right to you. They're going to slaughter everyone till there's no one left.""But... Marcus isn't here. Why are they coming? Does Roman think he's actually here?"She didn't respond for a minute, her breathing loud and erratic.In the caves, it echoed across the walls, loud enough to make me wince."I t

Nathan turned immediately at the sound, drawing his blade and pointing it at me as I crawled out of the tunnel.I raised my hands above my head, eyes wide. "It's just me. Calm down."His armed hand fell, a heavy sigh falling from his lips as he charged towards me.I flinched as his hands gripped my shoulders, shaking me slightly. "Listen to me, Alexandra. You need to go. You need to go right now. Father is planning something and...""I know." My hands met his, gripping them tightly. "I heard everything. I was leaving anyway, I need to get to Marcus, to my pack. And you need to defend yours."His panicked face shifted to concern. "What are you talking about?""I'm saying that something is coming. Something big. You need to be ready to either negotiate your safety, or defend your pack. Not for long, just enough for me to find Marcus, he'll fix this. I know he will."Nathan shook his head, eyebrows dipping into a frown. "I don't understand. Who's coming to attack us?"I cupped his cheeks

My struggle against his grip proved futile with each passing second.Marcus stood across from me, frozen, while his gaze shifted rapidly from me to my captor."Let her go, Roman. This doesn't have to end with bloodshed." His voice was cold, detached, and clearly angry.Roman seemed perfectly oblivious as he replied. "I don't see you harming your brother's body, but the only other two options are to watch your mate die or give me my power back.""You... you were just there." I grunted, hoping to buy Marcus time to come up with a fourth option. "I saw you go into the pack."He scoffed, pressing the blade harder against my neck. "You take me for a fool? I knew you weren't there the moment I walked through their gates. A fight would have been too obvious, so what better way to draw my consciousness here while my worst enemy is distracted."His attention shifted back to Marcus way too soon. "They can still live, all of them. Just give me the eye, and I'll see to it. Consider your sacrifice
