All Chapters of 100 Days, The Alphas' Mate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

CEDAR BLAKE “This land turned its back on me when I most needed it. You all condemned me for the sins of my father, a sin that all could see was a set-up! Everyone of you was also here, watching and laughing when even the lowest-ranked Omegas made me feed their dogs!” I stood up, letting Dominus' hand fall off my shoulder.“As if that wasn't enough, I was turned into a pawn in every one of your games. I was going to be killed by your own hands!” I sneered at Adonai who put a hand on Adonis' chest to pull him back as he stood gnarling at me. “Would you all have gathered here to say those words if I had been declared dead?”“We understand the reason for your lamentations, but we also have reasons to believe that it was the will of the moon goddess for you to stay alive and fulfil your destiny. This way, your father's legacy would be restored and you will become the daughter of the powerful beta again and the future Luna.” Elder Darryl, the council advisor replied, regarding me with ten

ADONIS AUGUSTUS“I told you, brother. She was going to humiliate us!” I shoved the cards into my pocket and kicked the door open.“Anger won’t get us anywhere, Adonis,” Adonai replied calmly. “If we’re going to fight, we need to plan. Cedar belongs to us. Didn’t you hear what Elder Harold said? She was betrothed to us before she was even born. That makes her ours. There’s no escape from that. I suppose what happened back then made everyone feel there was no need to tell us. But now that I know the truth, I’ll do everything in my power to bring her back.”“Seriously?” I stood in front of him, blocking his path so he would stop pacing and look me in the eye. “Are we really supposed to win her back? Beg her to return and ask for forgiveness? Her father still hasn’t been proven innocent, and I won’t grant her any kind of pardon until I know the full truth about what happened to our father.”“No one said we have to beg,” he answered firmly. “I understand how you feel, and I want to find ou

DOMINUS MARUTO“This is unbelievable,” Cedar muttered, her voice thin with disbelief as she sank onto the bed. Her head drooped, one hand rising to her forehead where beads of sweat had begun to form.I don’t have much time left.Every moment that slips by is a step closer to the prophecy. A future I can't control, unless I seize power now. Unless I take control before everything I have worked hard for becomes in vain. I'm playing every card I have, at every opportunity. Nothing else matters. Not even Cedar.Especially not Cedar. In fact, I have been very soft towards her and it's obviously not working, so making life a bit unbearable for her would probably work faster.If it destroys her in the process, so be it. The result is all I care about.Her powers are growing, and if I don’t claim them first, they’ll destroy me. That much I’m sure of. I’ve wielded the contract between us like a weapon, maybe too many times. I’ve seen her raw, weak, trembling in her own skin. There was a mome

CEDAR BLAKE"Sammy Porter."“What?” I choked, holding my breath as Klaus’s voice crackled through the phone.Klaus was the private investigator I had secretly hired to look into my parents’ framing and execution. He hadn’t found anything solid yet, and worse, Dominus had cut off all my communication with the outside world. No visits. No phone. No freedom.He wanted me to depend on him for everything. And like a fool, I’d let it happen.The only reason I was able to reach Klaus now was thanks to the new kitchen maid, a timid girl who’d slipped me her phone when no one was looking. Klaus had given me his contact card, just in case something like this ever happened. Maybe he'd known. Maybe he'd suspected Dominus was capable of this kind of control.But what he just told me?Sammy, Dominus’s rejected mate, had been at my house. My childhood home. Rummaging through what was left of it.“I don’t know what she was looking for,” Klaus said. “But from what I overheard between her and the man s

ADONIS AUGUSTUS “Blood moon,” Adonai muttered again under his breath.Even now, those words still sounded strange to me.We were sitting in our office, buried in a pile of old books we’d pulled from the secret library, books that had been kept from us our whole lives. Our mother finally gave us access after the Seer delivered the prophecy right in front of us. After that, she had no reason to keep hiding anything. We had demanded to know everything, every secret, every hidden truth. We needed to be prepared. The darkness we sensed coming wouldn’t spare the ignorant.“Have you started to believe the prophecy?” I asked, glancing up from the thick, dusty book in my hands.I was seated at my desk, which I had cleared to make room for the books I brought out. The one I was reading now was filled with strange symbols and old warnings. Adonai stood across the room with his back to me, pacing slowly while flipping through another old book.“I don’t know,” he said. “The whole thing sounds cra
