“How so?” I queried. Nate took a seat back at the dining table as he cautiously eyed Maddie, before gripping my hips and pulling me down on his lap. Joe flashed Maddie half a smile, almost as if he was offering encouragement. An uneasy feeling grew in the pit of my stomach as I anxiously anticipated what was to come. “Alright.” Maddie begun, as she inhaled deeply. “As you all know, I don’t have a wolf.” I frowned as I listened to her, I couldn’t help but consider how off topic this conversation was heading. “The time will come, Maddie. Don’t worry.” Amber gave her a reassuring smile, but Maddie shook her head in response. “No, the time won’t ever come. You see, I’ll never get one because I’m not a werewolf.” I studied her face for a sign that she was joking, but all I found was a stern, determined expression. Nate’s grip around my waist tightened, as his jaw clenched. Archie’s eyes darted around the room, glancing at each of us in search for an indication of what was going on, bu
The King Alpha’s Mate Fifty Five
Nate’s POV After an exhaustingly long morning of training, I finally found my way back to my office. Since coming home from the Blue Crescent Pack, training had been full on. There wasn’t a chance in hell I would allow Serena’s plan to confront Skylar come into fruition if she wasn’t 100% ready. But frankly, I’d never known her take her training as seriously as she had been over the last couple of days. I was convinced I’d woken up in a parallel universe when she was readily awaiting her first training session at 6am yesterday morning. Getting her out of bed is a task at the best of times, yet there she was stood at the bedroom door impatiently tapping away as I was yet to wake up. I had to rub my eyes a ridiculous amount of times to double check I wasn’t imagining things. As much as her safety was an increasing concern of mine, I couldn’t deny how strong she was becoming. She was harnessing her powers beautifully, control was barely an issue at this point. However, as much as I l

Serena’s POV “So, that’s it? She’s left the academy?” I creased my forehead as I stared at Nate in disbelief. It sounded too good to be true. Nate pressed his lips together to form a line as he firmly nodded his head, just once. “Mrs White confirmed it. Alpha Cole picked her up an hour ago.” A rush of relief ran through me, as I let out a content sigh. I laced my fingers through Nate’s, momentarily basking in the joyous sensation from the sparks, before redirecting my attention to the footpath ahead. As the corners of my lips curved, Nate gently squeezed my hand. I could sense the relief he felt through the bond, this was a problem he could easily solve. Alexis wasn’t at the top of our problem list, but she was certainly up there and Nate had managed to fix it. I stared at the vast blue sky, whilst enjoying the sound of the wind speaking as it whistles through the towering trees. Only that, and the echo of the birds singing their favourite melody could be heard, as well as our fo

My mother sat across from me listening intently as I explained my dreams. With one leg folded across the other, she set her sole focus on me. Once I was finished, a wide smile grew on her lips. “Wow,” she gasped. “You’re more like your grandmother than I thought.” She chuckled as she shook her head absentmindedly. I drew my eyebrows together. “How do you mean?” My mothers gaze met mine as she let out a content sigh. “Your grandmother, Lily, well she used to experience the same thing. Slightly different in the sense that she would dream of circumstances which were yet to happen. Whereas yours seem to be more intuitive. As if they are guiding you to what could happen, rather than what will.” Nate pulled his lower lip between his teeth as he paced around his office. “So there is a possibility that what Serena’s sees could actually happen?” My mother nodded. “Yes, however it seems as though she has the dreams in order to prevent the outcome taking place or to alert her of a specific s

As we stood behind at a safe distance, Maddie scattered white candles along the edge of the cottage, forming a complete circle surrounding the home. We had offered to help her set up but she was convinced Jacques would somehow mess it up and it wouldn’t be fair to let us get involved, if he couldn’t. Knowing the man-child Jacques was, she probably wasn’t wrong. “I’m not the liability you all think I am,” Jacques groaned. “You’re all so dramatic.” Maddie shot him a look which read ‘really?’ as she joined our side. “You managed to drop the three candles you were holding on the way here multiple times.” She scoffed, to which he rolled his eyes and muttered a few choice words in response. “Anyway,” Nate spoke. “What next?” He asked. Maddie redirected her attention to the cottage and clicked her right fingers. Immediately, a bright spark erupted one by one on the candles set out, brightening the scene before us. “Okay, I’m going to need silence to concentrate,” she quickly shot Jacque

“Again.” My mother bellowed across the meadow. Her lips formed a fine line as she narrowed her eyes at me. I briefly scanned the crowd behind me, allowing my eyes to flicker between Nate, Maddie, Jacques and Amber. Nate’s lips curved as he flashed me a reassuring smile, melting my heart in an instance. Maddie wore an expression of sheer determination as she prepared for the next round. I could see the clocks ticking inside her mind, considering theories on how she could defy the magic. Jacques was swinging his hips from side to side, as he muttered the lyrics to an old George Michael song, completely uninterested in his surroundings. Every few moments you could hear Amber scolding him for his lack of interest, which went blatantly over his head. “You could get his attention another way.” Leia snorted. “I like your thinking.” I sniggered. I narrowed my eyes on an oblivious Jacques, who was happily singing away, as I allowed to heat to rise to the tip of my fingers. With an swift

A loud thud echoed as Nate pushed Danny into a chair across from his desk. I sat in Nate’s place, as I crossed my legs and shot Nate a warning glance. Nate lifted his hands in surrender as he backed away from an ever-growing concerned Danny. His eyebrows furrowed as sadness clouded his features. The colour had drained from his face as he met my gaze. I let out a quiet sigh as I intertwined my hands and placed them on the desk in front of me. “Danny,” I started. “How have you found it here?” His jaw momentarily hung agape as he appeared startled by my unexpected question. “It’s been fantastic, Luna. I’ve never tasted such wonderful food and slept in a bed before. You’ve taken great care of me, I’m forever in your debt.” I offered him a warm smile as I lent back in my chair. “Danny, can we trust you?” I asked. Danny’s eyes widened as hurt struck across his face. “Of course, Luna.” Nate strode across his office, joining my side, as he towered over Danny. His jawline was stern as he
The King Alpha’s Mate Sixty One
I let out a heavy sigh as I rested my hands on the balcony railing, allowing the cool night air to wash over me. As I took in the view of the castle gardens, I couldn’t help but consider if I would still have this luxury in the days to come. As I fell deep into a spiral of ‘what if’s’, a pair of strong arms found their way around my waist whilst the delicious scent of vanilla consumed my senses. I rested my head against Nate’s firm chest, enjoying the close proximity between us. Moments like these could easily be taken for granted, I didn’t want to do that. I wanted every precious moment between us savoured before the battle came to a head. “Everything will work out, little mate.” He whispered in my ear before placing a soft, gentle kiss on my shoulder. Sparks danced off my skin from the connection, reminding us of the bond we shared. “I hope so.” I grumbled, half hoping Nate didn’t detect the layer of doubt in my tone. Nate sighed as he turned my body to face him, before slowly
