All Chapters of Alpha King's Mysterious Human Mate : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

When the campfire burned down to embers, the trekkers drifted off to their tents. Eremis lay awake and listened to the soft sounds of sleeping men, waiting until the camp was silent. Then he slipped out of his tent and walked toward the dark edge of the forest, needing to clear his head and think about Reina’s words, Marcela, the curse.He had barely stepped beneath the trees when he stopped.A wolf stood in the path ahead, motionless, its eyes catching the moonlight. Then another stepped out beside it, and another. He turned slowly and saw that there were many of them, circling silently in the dark; he was not alone, and he was not meant to leave.He recognized the one at the front at once, he had seen that scarred face many times in the past, but never like this, never close enough to smell the blood on his breath. This was the beta of Alpha Dante’s black pack, one of the traitors who had rebelled against his father and watched him die, the same wolves who had driven Eremis’s people

"Oh, you naughty boy, I know what you want to be." Adric teased him and Ariel had to hide his smirk.She glanced sideways, her heart thumping erratically as she took in his stern profile, he might not work on the station, but his hands on the wheels were strong and competent, some wicked part of her mind flashed up an image of them stroking slowly across her pale skin. Heat flamed deep within her, and she had to stare stonily ahead and concentrate on a flock of sheep in the field.“Do you want me to stop the car?”Marcela nodded her head, and as soon as Ariel stopped the car, she scrambled down and looked out at the beautiful scenery of the pastures where different kinds of buffaloes were grazing. She had never seen such a side of the country.When she was concentrating on looking at the beautiful view, she heard a strange sound, and when she looked in the direction it was coming from, she saw a small sheep, whose head was stuck on the fence, making a whimpering sound as if it was se

It was stupid to feel hurt; Ariel certainly wasn't in love with her, so why did she expect him to trust her? He had approached her because he wanted to satisfy his lust, not love her.'Forget about him,' she told herself firmly and walked faster across the lawn, as if she could outpace her own thoughts.She didn’t see the rabbit until her foot connected with it.It looped a few feet through the air and landed in the grass with an indignant thump. Marcela gasped, hands flying to her mouth. “Oh no! I am so sorry!”She hurried over, heart pounding; certain she had killed some innocent creature. But the rabbit sat upright, perfectly unharmed, and fixed her with a look of such profound annoyance that a startled laugh escaped her.“Well, you don’t have to look at me like that,” she said, crouching down. “It was an accident. You could have moved.”The rabbit continued to glare; it was, she decided, the cutest thing she had seen all week. She lifted her camera and began to shoot, treating it

Only an hour ago, he had spoken to the men he had set to watch Eremis, and what they had told him still sat heavy in his mind. There had been a fight in the forest, a savage one, between Eremis and the black pack. Ariel had felt a rush of relief to learn that an old comrade of Eremis’s father had been close enough to help. For now, Eremis was safe, and the trek would end soon, and then he would head back to his kingdom.But his men had reported something else, too. They had overheard the group talking about dealing with Alpha Dante, the same Dante who had played a part in the killing of Eremis’s father. Ariel had ordered them to keep a close watch because he was certain Eremis was planning something. And whatever it was, it could not be allowed to spill into Norland, where most of the wolves that had fled Tiveden had taken shelter.Eremis is planning a war, he thought. And his sister is sitting in my house, drinking my wine, smiling at me.His eyes moved to Marcela’s face, to the clea

He asked quietly, “We don’t have any protection.” Holding her at arm’s length, his expression hard to read, he added quickly, “Don’t worry about it, I will take care of it,” and pulled her back into his arms.Her eager anticipation dimmed a little. Of course he had protection, his other lovers had no doubt spent time in this house, and she thought, with a sharp pang of jealousy, that they had probably slept in the big bed she had glimpsed in his room.Seeing her flustered face, Ariel said, “But not here, would you like a little time alone to prepare yourself?”No, no, Marcela nearly cried. Time would only let her doubt, and she knew she would regret it forever. She met his eyes almost defiantly; she still hadn’t told him she was inexperienced, and she opened her mouth to do it now, but he silenced the words with a kiss. Under the force of it, she forgot what she meant to say and forgot everything except her need for him.When he lifted his head, she leaned in and boldly kissed his thr
