All Chapters of The Alpha’s Bastard Bride: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Kaelen Blackthorne POV"Let's move these meat bowls to the long wooden table before the rest of the den wakes up," Mirelle Ashen says, lifting the hot iron pan off the open fire. I stir the morning broth with a bone spoon, matching her quick paces perfectly because our wolves know how to clear the pack kitchen fast."Orion, stop dragging your bare paws on the rug and sit your fur down," Selene Nightbane commands, leading my small boy out from the back hallway at exactly seven o'clock. She had dressed his small frame and washed the sleep from his eyes, but his little snout is still puckered up into a giant, angry pout. He is super mad because he woke up completely alone on the mattress downstairs, and his inner cub thinks his mommy abandoned his skin to run off into the woods."Still drooling like a baby pup," I mutter, sitting on the edge of the large mattress in the Alpha's Shadow Chamber while I stare down at Liora Nightbane. Her small face is half-buried inside my dark pillows, and

Kaelen Blackthorne POV"Do not worry about the tape of Mirelle Ashen, Alpha Kaelen, my own paws will smash the stone copy so it never leaves our pack lines," Elder Viremont says, walking right into my hockey office."Your boy Alistair came back to my den and told me the whole mess is finished," I say, leaning my big shoulders back against the chair."Alistair is going to tell the pack council that he took the baby pup Orion by force," Elder Viremont sighs, his voice shaking like a leaf in the wind. "He will take the whole punishment from the Alpha King's guards.""The guards lock wild rogues up in the dark cages for two winters when they steal a cub," I grunt, looking down at my long claws."My boy will tell them he is a big bully so the Viremont hockey name stays clean," he whispers, looking super sad. "Our family always follows the pack law so the other wolves do not think we are monsters.""I only want to see your true skin," I say, keeping my face completely blank."Here is the or

Lyra Nightbane POV"Is that... Kaelen's voice?" I whisper to myself, my heart stopping instantly inside my chest as Armand's loud words hit my ears."Seriously, Kaelen, did your beast ever truly like Elowen's girl, or were you just taking care of her skin because you mated in the dark?" Armand's voice booms right through the painted paper.I hold my breath like a scared cub, my ears pressing close to the small gap in the screen because my inner wolf wants to know the true answer so bad. My fingers grip the wooden chair until my knuckles turn white."A bit," Kaelen’s deep voice rumbles from the other side.My heart feels like a giant stone just dropped into my stomach. He never felt his beast move for her, he just stayed with her skin because his honor told him to after that night in the woods. Even if his memory was totally blurry from the moon-fever, he still liked the feeling of her fur. If he didn't like her, his brain would have forgotten her smell completely."So you are saying i

"Alistair told your tongue a giant lie!" Mirelle laughs like a demon. "The male beast who mated with your fur in the dark that night did not belong to any far pack land!"I keep my boots moving, refusing to stop my legs. Mirelle is just throwing random words to make my mind crazy. But why is her mouth doing that? I don't know, but my wolf is completely sure she is not kind enough to hand me the real truth. She is probably just telling giant lies to trap my paws.I turn my head around one last time to glare at her ugly smile. "Stop wasting your breath, Mirelle! My soul will never be fooled by your tongue, and I will never believe a single word you say!"Mirelle doesn't even get mad at my shout. Instead, her mouth lets out a super happy, creepy laugh. "My beast has been totally stupid and failed to hurt you so many times, Lyra. But even a stupid wolf cannot fail every single winter... my claws must win at least once!""The wolves who break the moral laws of the Moon Mother never win," I

Lyra Nightbane POV"Really?" Kaelen barks out a deep, rumble of a laugh, his bright yellow eyes locking straight onto my collarbone with a giant, playful gleam under the shadow chamber lamps.Liora nods her tiny head like a good little pup, her voice completely innocent. "Of course, Daddy! Mommy has soft milk inside her chest, but your bones are just flat like the ice rink!"Kaelen’s big mouth stretches into a teasing smirk, his sharp fangs showing just a little bit as he glares right through my shirt. "I cannot believe your words, little one. My paws have never touched her fur there, so my eyes cannot tell if you are speaking the truth.""Mommy, let Daddy touch your fur so he knows!" Liora chirps happily."Kaelen Blackthorne!" I gasp out loud, my face turning so hot I think my skin is going to catch fire. Has his alpha beast zero shame in front of a tiny cub? "You are going way too far!" I yell, wishing the stone floor of the shadow chamber would crack open and swallow my boots whole
