The Alpha King's Mistake Blackflame Novels & Stories

The alpha king's bite on my shoulder blade was burning, and then it was replaced by pleasure as if he had just penetrated me. Our minds were suddenly interconnected, feeling each other's emotions. Desire. Passion. I didn't even know if it was coming from me or not. Everything felt surreal. Then, I saw a black wolf staring back at me and howling. Was it the alpha king’s wolf? The scenery changed, and I saw myself with the alpha king. No. It was not me. The woman had no curls on her hair. It was the opposite. Zenith? Did I see the flashback of the alpha king’s memory?

‘Why do you sound like a stuttering car? ‘Just get here,’ I mind-link back, teeth clattering. ‘On my way,’ Karl replies before shutting off the link between us. Karl has been my beta, and my best friend for almost a decade since I became Alpha King of the Kingdom of Dyana. An exasperated sigh leaves me as the cold continues to bite into my skin. I glance behind me to see my mate… well…rejected mate still standing behind, the door slightly ajar as she stares. I raise a hand at her as I try smiling, but she glares at me immediately and shuts the door with the finality of a guillotine.

When he opened them, the raw, predatory intensity remained, but the cold, calculating mask of the Alpha King was firmly back in place. He straightened his massive frame, stepping back just enough to let Valerie catch a desperate breath of air that didn’t taste entirely of him. He reached down, his scarred fingers picking up the velvet pouch containing her moonshade flora. He turned it over, emptying the glowing, silver veined stalks onto the sterile table.

The biggest Alpha out of all the Alphas in his territory and the strongest. He ignored the pain in his leg as he twisted his body to snap at the wolf. Brax sunk his teeth deeper and shook his head like a dog with a bone. He heard his bone snap, and excruciating pain radiated through his whole body. And worse still, he could feel the dark magic already infecting his blood. He snapped at the wolf again. And surprisingly, Brax let go of him and stepped back. Maybe that had been his order. To infect the Alpha King and then sit back and make sure he died this time.

Waiting. “Send word,” the Alpha said coldly. “We move at moon’s fall. Quiet and swift. Hit the borders first. Break their guard. Then…” He glanced back at the distant mountains, as if he could see through the trees to the Star Blood lands beyond. “…bring me the Flame.” The scout dared speak. “And the Queen?” “She plays her own game.” The Alpha’s voice was bitter. “But she forgets, we are not pawns.” From somewhere deeper in the forest, a low howl echoed.

Not for a second. ​“Kaia,” he gasped, his face inches from mine. “It’s trying to split the flame from you. If it does—” ​“Then I won't survive it,” I finished. ​He swallowed hard, his grip tightening. “Then we don't let it.” ​The old alpha struggled to her feet, her voice fierce against the storm. “The First Flame answers will, not command! It was bound because it refused to kneel! If she stands, it will stand with her!”

" Please, just let me go," I rasped. My throat felt like I’d swallowed a sprinkle of dry beach. " Let you go?" Victor Blackwood did n’t move from his president by the fire. He did not have to. He was the Alpha King of the North; his presence alone was a physical weight pressing the air out of my lungs. He sat there, his frame too big for the cabinetwork, watching me with eyes that glowed a low, dangerous amber.

Blood sprayed across the forest floor. “That beast…” Althea whispered, trembling. The silver creature was unlike anything she’d ever seen. Towering, savage… its strength unmatched. Kael, despite his size and speed, was being overwhelmed. “That’s the Alpha King, my lady,” Melva said grimly, holding her arm tightly. “He’s a Lycan. No ordinary wolf can stand against him.” Althea’s eyes widened as she watched Kael shift back to his human form, his body slashed and soaked in blood. Gavriel followed, also returning to his human form, his eyes burning with rage.

The guards were surprised by his appearance and he quickly silenced them. Lycans began to descend from the upper floor and he faced them head on. They’re no match for the Alpha King. He found Akira already fighting Raul and then he saw Luna’s wolf coming in through the large doors. He didn’t think he would be happy to see her in this situation.

Since I wouldn't claim her willingly, she and her disgusting father set a trap to force me to do it; and like a fool, I fell right for it. I imagined coming back to find my Fleur waiting for me, accepting my honest apologies. I would take her away to my city penthouse, take her out for dinner, buy the ring, and finally ask her to officially be my mate and Luna. So much for planning and wishing. Yesterday, when she let it all out, what lame excuse could I offer? That I had missed her so much to the extent that I'd abandon my Alpha duties? That I believed Bethany’s lies? That I took her father's deal just to secure my pack's borders? Or that I spared Meg only because I thought, What if it was
