Alpha's Claimed Mate Chapter 96
NATALIERyker takes me to the infirmary which is filled with injured pack members and rogues. The putrid stench of burned flesh is hanging in the air like a haunting ghost taunting my very existence.My fingers tighten around Ryker’s hand as the grief and guilt threatens to consume me as a whole. Each step which carries me close to Anne sends my mind into a trance of numbness. I can’t feel my body, my wolf, my heart. I feel cold and the only thing keeping me warm is Ryker’s hand intertwined with mine, assuring me that it is going to be alright.“ Here. She is inside. ” He halts outside a room and pulls me ahead.The door is open, allowing me to peek inside. My eyes land at the back of an unfamiliar man first. He stands beside the bed, staring down at Anne.My gaze travels to Anne’s face and my breath gets stuck in my throat. My lungs ache, my face heating up.There are stained bandages covering her cheeks, pressed down on the wounds to stop the bleeding. I can’t see her face except f

NATALIE“ Anne. ” I call out her name again, higher in volume this time.She doesn’t respond. The sound of her heartbeat drowns even more until it’s a weak tik-tik in my ears and nothing else.“ Anne. ” I yelp, tears sliding down my cheeks.I drop my head down, anger taking the place of hurt quickly. A thorn pierces my heart, making me bleed inside.Closing my eyes, I take a deep breath. It’s all my fault. My hold tightens around her hand until I am unconsciously drawing her blood. The surge of energy shoots down my hand to her flesh, quick and soothing.All the memories, all the moments, all my life flashes before my eyes. Her bright smile, the wicked ways, and those odd habits all make me cry harder.We have been friends—true friends. She looked after me better than my own family. If anyone says it’s not true, I will never believe it. And I—I killed her. The words knock the breath out of me. My eyes snap open, landing on Anne's hand, which I am holding. There is some kind of blue

NATALIE The weakness doesn’t go away even when I wake up the next morning and wash up. Searching for Ryke, I go down the stairs and find him sitting on the couch leisurely. Zio is standing in front of him, staring down fiercely. Their eyes are shadowed, giving away their communication through the mind—link. “ Seriously? ” I scoff, capturing their attention. Zio shoots me an annoyed glance which he covers up with a flat smile instantly. Ryke slowly turns to me, his eyes roaming my body before finally holding my gaze. “ You two are doing something secretly again. ” I huff, raking my fingers through my hair. “ And, Baby Love? ” Ryke smiles lazily. “ And I need to know what it is. ” I lower my voice, mumbling. “ You and Zio were not here yesterday night. No one was able to mind—link you two and the rogues were wreaking havoc. ” “ And you killed fifty-six of them. Problem solved. ” Zio claps his hands, chiming in a bitchy fake tone. “ And almost burned one of the few people I con

NATALIEI feel…calm. Strange!I should be livid, ready to turn into some fucking dragon and go suck the life out of the woman who claimed to be my friend yet betrayed me for so many years in secret.But, my feet refuse to move. My emotions cheat my mind, compelling me to stand by the glass wall and stare at the Beta’s house.Fucking rain has decided it’s the best time to blur the world and create a loud enough noise to drown all my non—existent thoughts.“ She slept with someone to pay for the potion? ” A ghost of a whisper slips past my lips.It’s so…unbelievable for me.“ Zero confirmed it. He followed her for a while. ” Ryker answers.“ Her mate? ”Her mate caught her prostituting herself. Can it get any worse?The same calmness reigns over my mind and keeps my eyes glued to the view.“ Is this some kind of calm before the…fire? ” Ryke asks, standing in the corner, his back against the glass wall while his eyes assess me.“ This can not be fixed with random distracting shit, Ryker.
Alpha's Claimed Mate Chapter 100
RYKER Little miss pesky is changing. I don’t know if she is growing up or what the fuck but I can see the change. She no longer wants to be the second lead in her own story. She wants to get involved, and shift the flow of her fate. I stare at her sleeping figure. Her skin lights up now and then, giving me unnecessary anxiety. I haven’t felt this cautious towards anyone before. It’s like I am scared she might do something again and then she will regret it. I don’t give a fuck about damages, but I care about her state of mind. I don’t want to see her on the bathroom floor, sitting like a lifeless body. ‘ He opened his mouth. Finally! ’ Zio huffs in my mind, making me jolt up. ‘ What did he tell you? ’ I growl down the mind—link. There were only a few rogues alive after the whole situation and one of them was able to talk. He was hard to break but Zio was up to it for the whole night before he came in the morning and asked me to let him kill the rest of them to scare the bastard i
Alpha's Claimed Mate Chapter 101
NATALIEI can’t believe this bullshit. That jerk left without even telling me where the fuck he was going right after the pack was attacked and the danger still lurked.Besides, he promised to accompany me everywhere and I woke up to find out that he was gone.My energy was back, not to its full extent but enough to make me want to burn his whole fucking house down to get back at him.I sip on my smoothie which Rhianna has made to calm me down. My glowing skin scares the shit out of her and everyone else.“ When is he coming back? ” I place the glass down, not so politely, and question her.She gives me the same cheeky, sunshine look which is getting old by now.“ If only I knew, I would have told you yesterday. ” Rhianna slumps down on the kitchen stool, turning to face me.It’s been two days already. And he hasn't returned. To make things worse, I keep feeling miserable now and then. I am sure it’s his emotions and it’s making me worry about him.What the fuck is going on with him t
Alpha's Claimed Mate Chapter 102
NATALIE“ It’s you. It’s really you. I can’t believe this. ” Rhianna squeezes the girl’s arms, assuring herself of her presence.I look away from Ryker and watch the skinny girl. Indeed, she is beautiful…and alive.Alive. Am I dreaming? Even the word ‘alive’ sounds strange.She was dead. She is…I breathe in, wondering if I am still asleep and if this is all a fucked up nightmare.“ I…You…what happened to you? ” Rhianna’s sobs snap me out of the daze.“ Take her to the room. ” Ryker tells Zio.My gaze switches between them all one by one. I do believe I am about to wake up from the nightmare. It’s enough, isn’t it?Zio pulls Britney away from Rhianna and grips her shoulders to help her walk forward. Instead of walking with him, she leaps for Ryker, grabbing his bicep, and pushing her body into his.Pain coils around my heart once more. It’s not supposed to hurt in dreams. When Ryker coils his arm around her waist cautiously, something breaks inside.My mind hits the low and I am force
Alpha's Claimed Mate Chapter 103
RYKER“ Don—Don’t reject me. ” It hurts me to even hear her saying this. I am surprised how I didn’t consider rejecting her at all. Yes. Britney is back and all but I still can’t bring myself to think about leaving her or letting her go.“ I am not going to reject you. ” I tell her, hoping it’s enough to say this once.“ No. You—You are going to reject me now that she is back. ” She rubs her nose against my shirt, crying loud as fuck.“ No. I am not doing that. ” I pat her back softly.She pulls back all of a sudden and looks at me with her burning amber eyes. Here is it — Misery turning into anger.“ You must be so happy. All you wanted was her and she is alive! ” She jerks out of my hold, taking a step back. “ And now you are going to throw me away because I am of no use to you. ” “ I have no intentions of throwing you away. ” I growl, frustrated with this turn of events because I don’t know how to react, what to do.One thing I am sure of…is the fact that I will never reject her

End Note
HEY, lOVELIES! There is only so much that you can fit in a single Author's note so I am writing this end note separately. This book was indeed the most unplanned book I have written but it became the book I hold close to my heart. It's not only because I liked the characters but because I thought you all were connected to this story. I don't like writing sequels of a story but for this book, I made the exception and wrote a separate story for some side characters. I had attempted this for another book before but it didn't work out like this so I am glad that I was able to finish this story in the end. This was also the longest story I have written so I learned a lot from it and you all. Thank you everyone for joining me on this journey and for staying with me to the end! It meant a lot to me and I am expecting that you all will join me on the new journeys too. If you liked this book, do check out other books from me that are available on the Goodnovel app. Omega for the Alpha

Epilogue
ANNE ~SEVEN MONTHS LATER Sometimes, it’s hard to believe how a person can change so much. When I look at myself in the mirror these days, I find someone I don’t even know. Maybe, that’s what love does to people. It changes them, or perhaps, it brings the child out of them—the child they hide away from the world in hopes to protect the injured soul. Zero’s selfless love and unconditional support have brought out that child from inside my head. I am surprised to find that she is wounded, yes, but she is in the process of healing. It might take her a lifetime to heal but I don’t worry because I know he is here with me, and he will always be. Even when I was inside the labor room after six months, pushing and struggling to bring life out from inside me, I didn’t fear anything. I felt pain, in waves, and it made me almost pass out. It was the hardest thing I had done in my life, the most excruciating but it was fine because he was there with me. I clenched his hand with each push. I

ZERO “ I am pregnant, Zero. ” She repeats in a calmer tone. I hear her jumpy, loud heartbeat and try to search for my own. I think my heart has stopped beating. “ I found out two days ago and came to tell you. ” She is saying things. I see her lips moving, her brows jumping up and down, her nose scrunching with each word she is uttering but I can’t make sense of any of it. I am trying to hear my thoughts or the beat of my heart. The shocking silence is making me feel as if I am traveling through space, through the stars and galaxies and universes and it means nothing and everything to me. My heart finally beats. Anne is still saying things and I still can’t hear. I leave her hands. My arms coil around her waist, pulling her flush against me. I don’t know if she has stopped talking or not. I don’t know anything. I don’t want to know anything else. My eyes close as a breath escapes my mouth. My heart beats in my ears as different emotions rush through my head at the same time.

ZEROWhy did I think she will let me rest?She starts poking my side as soon as I go silent. “ Zero. Talk to me. ” I let out a soft breath and keep my eyes closed. I am in no mood to listen to her tonight.“ I am sorry. ” She pokes my ribs with her forefinger.“ I will never do it. I promise. I will die before hurting you. ” Another poke.“ I know you can hear me. Stop acting like a baby. ” She groans, poking me once more.“ You are annoying me right now. ” I utter.She stops poking me all of sudden. I finally breathe in relief. “ Am I really annoying you? ” She asks in a gentle whisper.The muscles in my bare shoulders clench. I push my arm off my eyes and open them to look at her.It’s fine as long as she is annoying and not hurt. I don’t want to hurt her.“ Anne…” I sigh, not knowing what I want to tell her.She rolls her eyes at me before pushing herself closer. I squeeze my lips, narrowing my eyes slightly.Her lips morph into a sneaky grin. She swings her leg over my torso. He

ANNEA knock sounds on the car’s window. I yelp, pulling back and glancing at Liam who is smirking.He is unaffected by the rain wetting him. His meaningful gaze switches between me and Zero. I gulp, pushing myself off Zero’s lap and back onto the passenger’s seat.Liam steps back as Zero drives the car through the open door and stops in the driveway. I sigh, stealing a glance at my mate.I thought I was doing things for the better, but I was only running away. It took me only a fucking week to realize I don’t care what the fuck happens. I want him by my side and I can never imagine a life without him.Now, when I am carrying our child, I feel the need to be close to him even more. It’s not just love anymore…it’s also a sense of stability and a family that I seek in Zero. He opens the door and steps out without looking at me. I release another sigh and step out, following him.Liam appears beside me, his wet hair falling over his forehead.“ So you two were fighting. I was right. ” H

ZEROI have never disliked anything about Anne. Everything she did, every decision she made, every harsh word she uttered at me didn’t matter to me until what she did a week ago.A week ago, I felt the weight of her words pushing me to my knees for the first time. I disliked what she did. And I didn’t feel like following her as she asked.It took me a few hours to finally understand what it was that I felt. I was angry. Maybe no. I was fuming, my blood was running hot in my veins. Just as she had uttered hurtful words at me, I wanted to do the same.I had gone to do just that when I left that place abruptly, but when I reached the Night Walker Pack and saw her, the anger went to the back of my head.I was still angry but taking out that anger on Anne would never happen. Hurting her would break my heart.I realized she didn’t mean anything she said right when she was uttering those words. The thing I disliked the most was the fact that she was not behaving like the usual selfish woman

Chapter 49
ANNEIt takes me a few hours to get to the vampire territory. My heart continues to pump blood at the speed of lightning. The thought of seeing him after what I said that day is killing me but even for my own selfish reasons, I need to know he is doing fine.As I drive the car towards the huge gates of the mansion, the vampires push it open, letting me inside. My heart begins beating faster than before. I turn off the engine when I am in the driveway.Wiping my sweaty hands over my jeans, I open the door and step out only to meet Liam who is rushing to me. In a familiar gesture, his arms are engulfing me in a hug.I sigh, not finding it in myself to get angry today.“ How have you been, sweet Anne? ” He questions, smiling genuinely.“ I thought you didn’t like me anymore. ” I let out, taking a step back.“ Oh, that was some angry banter. Don’t take it to heart. ” He flaps his hand in the air before he is dragging me inside the mansion where his parents await me.My eyes nervously roam

Chapter 48
ANNEHe let me leave. I didn’t waste a moment and left him there. He was better off without me. I should have realized this sooner.A week has passed since that Goddess awful day yet my heart still hurts the same. A little part of me even wanted Zero to follow me. I didn’t think it was this easy to push him away.When I left the vampire territory, I was not sure where I wanted to go. At that moment, Natalie called me and asked me to come to her. She was in pain again but this time, it was labor pain.For some time, I forgot about my misery and stood outside her hospital room as she screamed in agony. Ryker was by her side for hours straight.Her labor was prolonged. Giving birth to a hybrid was hard for her but she survived. And gave birth to a blue-eyed angel. Rhys Ambrose—Natalie and Ryker named their son together.Ryker had stepped out of the room with his baby only when Natalie had fallen asleep under the influence of some potions. My heart had filled with so much happiness for my
