All Chapters of Marked by the Alphas: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Elara POVOn my eighteenth birthday, Mason, the rogue Alpha I'd followed since childhood, marked me for the first time.It was just a week before the social mating season, so I thought it meant he was finally ready to accept me as his mate, the one he would spend his life with.I floated through the entire night on a cloud of bliss, convinced my six-year-long secret crush had finally culminated in a fairy-tale ending.That is, until the next afternoon, when I approached underground club where he and his bikers often gathered and overheard their conversation."Wow, Mason, you 'marked' little Elara already?" a voice said.My face flushed crimson. I was about to slip away when Mason's careless voice, laced with that unique lupine arrogance, cut through the air."Alice is my target. She's a pureblood, and she knows a lot of secrets about those damn Alpha twin heirs. Only someone like Alice, with her pure bloodline, can help me return to the Constantine pack and shed this rogue wolf identi

Kane POVI look from Anton to Alice. Tears are streaming down her beautiful face, and her blue eyes are screaming at me in agony. My heart speeds up, and I want nothing more than to wrap her in my arms and comfort her. I want to tell her everything will be okay.Instead, I turn my gaze to Axel and open our special mind link that only twins can share.“Go to her,” I urge him.Within seconds, he is by her side, holding her and whispering words of reassurance. My heart painfully cramps when I look at them. Axel and I have shared everything since we were babies. It is no surprise that we share a love for the same woman.That was supposed to be our future. My brother, Alice, and I, against the world, raising our pups and the next Alpha of the Constantine Clan.I look at our designated mate. What was her name again? Oh, yes, Elara. How can the elders assign her to us? Yes she is beautiful, I mean, that gorgeous cinnamon hair and the curvy body wrapped tightly in the dress... My wolf was pac

Elara POVNo. Fucking. Way.Rage, embarrassment, and denial rush through my veins. This cannot be happening. First, I catch that slut with Mason, and now she is coming home with us. Show me one person who would be happy with this arrangement. Other than Alice. She is smitten like a kitten, holding Kane’s hand.A hand brushes across my arm, and I look over to see Mindy standing beside me.“It’s going to be okay,” she whispers, smiling at me. “I know this is wild, and I’m sure you’re confused, but it’s all going to be okay.”“Mindy,” I throw my arms around her. Guilt consumes me when I realise I have not even noticed who she is mated to. “I’m so sorry, I’m so caught up in my own shit that I didn’t even consider what you’re going through.”“It’s okay,” she smiles. “Your drama is way more than mine. Especially since it’s Alice.”“Right,” I gasp, throwing my hands in the air. “At least you get it. I mean, look at her. All smiling and stuff while she knows I know she’s been cheating. She ha

Axel POVThe scents in the room are overpowering. Full of lust and desire. I scrub my hand over my face, turn around, and walk to the window. I stare at the grounds, town, and the forest. The forest I so desperately want to escape into right now.This whole situation is impossible on a multitude of levels, and I have no idea how to even begin fixing it. I want to mate with Alice, and not Elara. But I do not want Elara to end up with monsters like Greg and Luke.“Elara,” I sigh, and turn to face her. “We must make the best of the situation. Either we compromise and work together, or we all lose. There is no golden midway. Mate with us or take your chances with the Elders. There’s no other alternative.”“I … I need a bathroom,” she stutters, standing up. “Which way?”“Down the hall, second door to the right,” Kane directs.“If we mate with Elara tonight, what the fuck will happen to Alice?” I mind-link Kane. “And how would we mate Alice later if we are forced to mate Elara tonight?”Kan

Kane POVErin leaves Elara’s quarters just as Axel and I approach. She nods in our direction and walks away.I crack my neck and enter Elara’s quarters, and Axel shuts the door behind him, clicking the lock into place. As if anyone would dare disturb us.Instead of standing as a sign of respect, Elara leans back onto the couch, crossing one knee over the other, and folds her arms across her chest. Her mouth is pulled into a line of determination as she glares at us.The urge to turn her over my knee and redden her ass for her disrespect was a monster racing through my veins. A very lustful monster … which shocks me. Where did that image, that desire, come from?I return her scowl and shove the thought away.“It’s time to mate,” I say brusquely, still irritated with her disrespectful demeanour.“Wow,” Elara makes a show of looking at the clock on the wall on the other side of the living room. “You’ve allotted me a whole forty-five minutes for mating.”She un-crosses and re-crosses her
