Alle Kapitel von The Alpha's Vampire Mate : Kapitel 21 – Kapitel 30

Hecate POVI watched through the thick, hazy steam of my cauldron as the girl scrambled through the brush toward my hut, and I had to smile because her movements were so jerky and desperate that it was clear the blood-bond had finally started to eat away at her certainty. She burst through the hanging vines that served as my door, and she was panting like a hunted animal while her bone mask sat crooked on her face, but I didn't move from my stool because I wanted her to feel the weight of the silence in the room first. The candles flickered as she stomped toward me, and I noticed the violet stains on her collar where she had fed on that boy Theron, so I knew the magic was already weaving its way back into her heart whether she wanted it to or not."You look like you've seen a ghost, Keira, or maybe you've just realized that your own mind has been lying to you for half a decade," I said, while I picked up a small wooden spoon and started to stir the thick, bubbling liquid in front of

Keira POVThe forest was starting to blur around the edges as I pushed my way through the thick undergrowth, because the potion Hecate had given me was thumping in my temples like a second heartbeat and every sound felt ten times louder than it should have been. I could hear the water of the creek rushing over the smooth stones long before I actually reached the bank, and the smell of the damp earth and rotting leaves was so sharp it was almost overwhelming, but I didn't slow down because I needed to get back to the estate and find Silas. My skin felt tight and hot as if the black veins were trying to crawl out of my body, so I stopped for a second by a large willow tree to catch my breath, but then the wind shifted and I caught the heavy, musk-filled scent of at least a dozen strange wolves.I didn't even have time to reach for my primary blade before the first one leaped out from behind a mossy boulder, and he was followed by a swarm of elite warriors wearing the dark leather of t

Keira POVI was kneeling in the freezing water of the creek with my fingers wrapped tight around the handle of the silver blade, and I could feel the rhythmic pulse of Theron’s heartbeat through the metal while his blood seeped out and turned the water around my knees a dark, muddy pink. The red haze that the witch had put in my brain was suddenly gone, as if the coldness of the stream had finally washed it away, and I stared at the man in front of me with a sense of pure terror because he wasn't even trying to push me off or reach for his own dagger. He was just looking at me with those steady eyes, and he was breathing in slow, painful rattles that made me realize I had actually done it, I had finally hurt the one person who was supposed to be my other half."Why won't you fight me, Theron, and why are you just sitting there letting me kill you when you have a whole pack of guards standing right behind you who would rip me apart if you just gave the word?" I screamed at him, and m

Theron POVI stood in the center of the war room and felt the air getting thinner while Marcus’s words echoed in my ears, and I looked at my father who was still trying to straighten his collar after being punched, but his face was pale and he wouldn't meet my eyes. The maps on the table were fluttering from the sheer pressure of my aura, and I heard the wood of the heavy chairs beginning to groan and crack as my power expanded without me even trying to control it, because the rage inside me was unlike anything I had ever felt in my life. The elders were backing away toward the stone walls and the guards were looking at the floor, since they could feel the weight of my command settling over the room like a heavy iron blanket that made it hard for anyone to even draw a breath."Look at me, Silas, and tell me to my face that Marcus is a liar, because I want to hear the words come out of your mouth before I decide what to do with you," I said, and my voice sounded like grinding stones

Alpha Kaine POVI stood on the back of my massive black war-steed and watched the chaos unfolding at the edge of the Blackwood valley, while the smell of burning pine and the copper tang of fresh blood filled the air in a way that usually made me feel like a king, but right now I was just feeling annoyed. My lead warriors were supposed to be the best in the northern territories, yet they were being tossed around like straw dolls by a single woman in a broken bone mask, and I could see my men starting to pull back in fear because every time she moved, another head rolled into the dirt. I adjusted the heavy fur collar of my cloak and spit into the grass, while my second-in-command, a scarred wolf named Garrow, rode up beside me with a look of pure disbelief on his face."Alpha, we’ve lost forty men in the last ten minutes alone and that hybrid girl isn't even slowing down, so if we don't do something soon, the morale of the front line is going to break before we even reach the main gat
