Alle Kapitel von Alpha King's Mysterious Human Mate : Kapitel 61 – Kapitel 70

I studied her as she stared back at me, stunned. Her hair fell long and black, her eyes were a deep, pure blue, her skin was creamy and flawless, and her features were so delicate I forgot how to think. She was a ten and perfect.But when I breathed her in, beneath the lavender and flowers, there was something else, something old and strange. She smells like a witch.Mate, my wolf sang, utterly shameless. Mate, mate, mate.She did not share his joy, her eyes narrowed with open displeasure.“Are you talking about me?” she said briskly. “I don’t have a mate, and if I did, it certainly wouldn’t be you, Beta Clement.”Then she swept past me as though I were a piece of furniture and walked straight to Graham.My chest went hollow. Why is she rejecting me? I had waited years, longer than I cared to count, and the Moon Goddess had finally answered, and my mate had looked me in the eye and told me to get lost.I caught Graham and Eleanor watching us. They were both smiling, trying very hard n

Reina sat curled on the sofa with her knees drawn up, staring at the door her father had just closed behind him.“Mom,” she said, her voice small, “I hope everything is going to be fine with Marcela.”She wasn’t really asking a question; she was reaching for reassurance, and she knew it. She couldn’t sit still; her mate had run into the night toward an enemy she couldn’t see, and no matter how many times she reminded herself that her father and Beta Clement were with him, it didn’t help. She wanted to do something, anything, and there was nothing to do.Anne crossed the room and took her hand. “Don’t worry, sweetheart, it will be all right.” She sat down beside her and sighed. “I am worried about Marcela too; that poor girl doesn’t even know who she is. She has no idea she is the werewolf princess of Tiveden, or that the curse is the reason she can’t live among her own people. If Alpha Graham and Luna Eleanor were still alive, everything would have been different.” Her eyes grew dista

Damian stepped up and took hold of his arms; Eremis was shaking all over, and his breath came in short, shallow bursts. He had never felt so lost, not even on the night their parents died.“Easy, Eremis, breathe; we will find her, I swear it, but first we have to take that woman into custody.” Damian looked towards the bed. “She is the reason Marcela changed.”A growl, deep, savage and unmistakably an Alpha’s, rolled out of Ariel.“Touch her,” he said quietly, “and none of you will leave this house alive.”Ariel! Adric shouted, torn between horror and rage. The wolf wanted Marcela and wanted to tear through the window after her scent, and yet he was snarling to protect the woman in his bed. Ariel himself didn’t know why he was doing it. He knew only that something in him refused to hand Selena over; he had promised her parents.Eremis, Clement and Damian stood shoulder to shoulder and looked at him with open hatred. The man who had taken Marcela into his home was now protecting the on

Ariel barely heard the muffled protests behind him. He had a single thought, and it left no room for anything else: find Marcela. His heart had gone numb the moment he understood she was missing, and Adric was pacing so hard inside him that the bond felt like a wire pulled tight.“Wait, don’t take her away yet.”The voice came from the doorway behind them, calm and clear. “I need to see whether she is telling the truth.”Everyone turned towards the voice.Riley stepped out of the shadows of the corridor, and Ariel froze for half a heartbeat, his focus snapping towards her. He knew the name; Riley was a renowned healer and witch, respected far beyond any one pack for her wisdom and her judgement. She had left her own people long ago to live among humans, where she had become famous all over the world as a tarot reader. It had been years since she had walked into a werewolf household. That she was here now, tonight, told him how heavy the situation had become.Besides Eremis, Clement di

Eremis felt the tension in the corridor tighten around him as he turned over the problem of Dalton and his rogues. Marcela’s disappearance made everything worse, and he had no clean way to hold both crises at once. The only comfort was that Riley had agreed to search for her. He didn’t trust Ariel’s household, and he didn’t like how Selene had been shielded by him, but he did believe Ariel meant his promise to find her.He stopped and looked at the two men beside him.“Rogues first,” he said, low and firm. “Then Marcela.”“And if the two are connected?” Damian asked quietly.“Then we will find that out too.” Eremis drew a long breath and nodded, as much to himself as to them. “Let’s move.”He walked out into the night with the weight of newfound leadership settling on his shoulders like a stone cloak. She is the only one. "Why I have left," he thought, "and it hurt to leave. Why now?" Why did she have to vanish now? But he made himself trust Riley; if anyone could bring Ela back unhar
