All Chapters of Marked by the Alphas: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Axel POVMy body is numb, but my mind is buzzing with all the information. Kane was born first, and therefore, is the true alpha, followed by me. Because we were so close since birth, it was Kane’s idea that we share the title. He did not want to do it without me. Now, it seems there is a possibility that neither of us will be the alpha.I pick up a log, toss it into the fire, and watch the flames flicker. I cannot imagine a world where Kane and I are not the Alphas of this pack, and I do not want to.“Dad,” I break the heavy silence. “When did you find out you had another son?”“Mason found me,” Dad slumps into the chair across from Kane, but Kane averts his eyes from Dad, looking into the fire instead. “He found a hidden photo of his mother and me in a drawer.”“Do you believe him?” Kane asks.“I don’t know if I will ever believe anything he says,” I answer honestly.“What about Alice?” Kane’s head drops into his hands. “I need to know the truth about her and the twins.”Orion clenc

Katie POVCuriously, I look from the High Guards to Mason. What a peculiar night. First, everyone mistakes me for Elara, and now this. Mason’s expression indicates that he does not enjoy this one bit.“I don’t …”“Oh, dear Goddess,” I exclaim, interrupting Mason and grabbing his arm when a sharp pain rips through my belly. My vision blurs as another stab of pain steals the air from my lungs.“Katie, what’s happening?” Mason asks urgently. “Are you okay?”“No,” I groan, and the wind picks up again, blowing forcefully through the trees.“What’s up with the wind?” Mindy shrieks. “Is there a storm coming or something?”“Mason,” one of the High Guards, approaches us. “Do we …”“Not now, man,” Mason snaps, picking me up effortlessly. “I must get her to a doctor.”“You’ll be okay,” he murmurs, carrying me to Asher’s car, laying me across the backseat as another stab of pain shoots through my middle.“Can we get her there in time?” I hear Mason asks in a low, anxious voice.“This wind isn’t i

Katie POV“What does that mean?” I ask, panicking. “Is my baby okay?”“It’s fine, Katie,” Sable reassures me. “I’ll remove the cord, and then you can push again.”My breath is trapped in my throat, and I am fighting to breathe. The wind picks up, and Quinn yelps when a tree branch bangs against the window.“Don’t scare me like that,” I sob and close my eyes.“I scared myself,” Quinn whimpers.“Keep calm, Katie,” Sable comforts me. “I almost got the cord, and … push, Katie.”I master my last strength, clinging to Mason and Quinn’s hands, and push.“It’s a girl,” Sable announces happily over my baby’s high-pitched cries. “A healthy baby girl.”“Congratulations,” Quinn squeals with excitement, squeezing my hand.“Thank, Goddess,” I sniff, and lean back against the pillows. It is over, and my baby is safe. My baby’s cries are soothing, and the world fades away when Sable places her in my arms. She is perfect, and my heart swells when I touch her rosy cheeks.“You’re a badass, Katie.” Maso

Katie POVI smile as I walk to the door when there is a knock. Quinn is early today. Not that I am complaining. If it were not for her help, I would have been insane by now. You hear and read about sleep deprivation with a newborn, but you do not get it until you are in it.I steady Stella against my shoulder and open the door.“Mason,” I gasp, touching my hair self-consciously. Mason is as gorgeous as I remember, and I am wearing a tank top and sweatpants with my hair in a bun. “This is a surprise.”“I hope you don’t mind an impromptu visit?” He smiles charmingly.“No, not at all,” I open the door wider, allowing him inside. Stella stirs slightly in my arms, and I worry she might cry, but she opens her eyes and stares at Mason. “Looks like she doesn’t mind, either.”“She’s so cute.” Mason runs a gentle finger down her little arm. “Looks like she’s going to have your hair colour.”“Yes, she is,” I beam, looking proudly at my daughter. Stella already has a thick dusting of hair, the sa

Kane POVAxel and I enter the café and find a seat in a booth. We order a hearty breakfast and wait for fuck’s know what. Our mission is to find Mason, but we are clueless where to start. We do not know anyone here, and there is not a single rogue in the world who would help an Alpha, or any member of any pack. We are, after all, the enemy.“This place is pretty cute,” Axel says, looking through the window at the bustling main road. “I was expecting to see people getting like … murdered in the streets or something.”Stillwood was pretty quaint for a rogue town, and the surrounding forest made it look lush and picturesque.“I can’t imagine not having a pack,” I shrug. “Or hierarchies.”“They seem to manage it well,” Axel says, taking another huge slurp of coffee. “You just can’t imagine not being Alpha.”“How do you think all these people got here?” Axel asks.“Don’t know,” I shrug. “They committed serious crimes against the Council.” “She committed serious crimes against the Council
