All Chapters of Marked by the Alphas: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Kane POV“I’m coming with you,” Elara says adamantly, stripping off her sexy outfit and grabbing her jeans.“No,” I hold her gaze. “Stay with Stella and be safe.”“Mother will care for Stella,” she insists. “Selena is my sister. Since Dad’s not here, and she’s not listening to Mother, she’s my responsibility.“Okay,” I agree reluctantly. There simply is not time to argue about it, and Selena might be irresponsible, but I doubt that she is doing something dangerous. I follow Elara, carrying the bassinet as gently as I can to her mother’s room.“Mama, Selena snuck out,” she whispers. “We’re going to find her.” “Really?” Julia asks, equally upset and relieved. “I need you to watch Stella,” Elara says.“Of course, of course,” she replies. “Go now.”I push the bassinet inside, and we slip out of the house, not speaking as we strip down and shift, snatching up our clothes in our mouths. Elara paws at the ground where Selena has shifted. I join her as she leans down, flaring her nostrils a

Axel POV“Welcome home, brother,” I smile jovially when Kane and Elara enter the mansion with Stella. I am happily surprised to see them so soon. I prepared myself for weeks without them, dreading the idea that they would have that time to bond without me.“You’ll be changing your tune once you hear what Dad’s up to,” Kane grunts, guiding Elara up the stairs. “But we can talk about it once Elara and Stella are safe and unseen in her quarters.”My good mood evaporates as I follow them to Elara’s quarters and help her settle in. Dad has already threatened Elara, and she is willing to return. Whatever he did, it must be terrible. We should not have banished him from the mansion; we should have locked him up so he cannot create more shit.“That’s probably Mother,” Kane says when there is a knock on the door.“I’ll get it,” I offer, thinking of an explanation of why Elara is back. Mother knows everything, but I have no idea what Dad did, and Father’s doings still upset Mom.But when I open

Elara POVI look at Stella reaching for the butterflies on her playmat and sigh as I turn towards the window. I rest my head against the cool glass, gazing out at the garden that stretches into the woods.It is weird being back. This place is a yin-yang of emotions and memories. The pro and con list is so long and complicated that I do not care to think about it. I will simply work through my emotions as they come.Right now, my family is on my mind. I worry about Selena. She is only a little over a year away from her mating day, the day she will be sent away and forced to reproduce if her vampire powers do not awaken and put her in mortal peril first.Goddess, everything is so upside down, and I have no idea what to do to make it right. I am not even sure coming back to the mansion was the best move, but at least there we have the Alphas’ protection.There is a knock on the door, and I quickly walk to open it.“You!” I glare at Mason. “What are you doing here?”“Please don’t hit me a

Kane POVAxel and I lock eyes, contemplating our next move. Which is hard, because we are each holding a baby.The huge guard turns sideways, and his face brightens when he sees Elara. An evil grin spread across his face.“Who do we have here?” He sniffs in Elara’s direction. “The Council will be very pleased that I found you.”“Don’t fucking touch her,” I growl.“You’re in no position to give me orders,” the guard grunts, facing me again.A movement behind the car catches my eye. Braden and Mason are creeping up slowly, silently. What the fuck were they both doing here?I exchange an uneasy glance with Axel.“Take Lanie from me. I’m going to attack this motherfucker,” I will him to hear me even though the silver chains have dampen our strength.“Do it now,” he responds to my surprise.But before I can act, Elara leaps forward, tackling the guard to the ground. She drops her fangs and bites into his neck. The guard screams, kicking and thrashing wildly.“He’s going to give away our fu

Elara POVPanting with desire and lust, I look at Kane. Oh, how I missed those piercing blue eyes and luscious lips.“Okay,” he nods, pushing his fingers through his hair. “What do you want to talk about? Ask me anything.”I love this man; the reality strikes like lightning, and suddenly, my mind goes blank, and my apologies and explanations dry up. Being with him places him in danger. I am the reason he got locked up. I am the reason he must hide here. How can I say I love him, and put him through all this?“I’m selfish,” I blurt out, and he looks at me confused. “All of this is my fault. You’re stuck here because …”“Elara, it’s not,” he cuts me off gently, cupping my face. “The council has been up to no good long before you came into our lives. If anything, my family’s responsible for your troubles.”“But …”“But nothing,” he interrupts, curling his fingers into my hair, pushing my head to the side, and kissing me tenderly on the neck.“We’ve lost enough time,” his lips move to my
