บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha and his Awaited Mate: บทที่ 341 - บทที่ 350

The pale, crisp light of a new day creeps softly through the window, painting the bedroom in soft glow. I blink my eyes open, the heavy, deep exhaustion finally replaced by a profound sense of warmth and serenity.Xander is curled into my side, his body perfectly molded against mine. His head is buried right under my chin, his warm breath hitching in slow, rhythmic puffs against my bare chest. One of his legs is draped possessively over my hips, and his arm is flung across my waist, his fingers loosely clutching the fabric of the bedsheet.He smells intoxicatingly of our shared bond—a rich, comforting scent of pure contentment that completely fills the room.I don't move a single muscle, terrified of breaking the spell. I just lie there, looking down at my beautiful mate, my heart swelling with an almost painful amount of love.Slowly, deliberately, I raise my hand and begin to trace feather-light circles on his bare shoulder. The skin beneath my fingertips is warm and incredibly soft

MarcusAfter the loud, chaotic breakfast at my parents family wing, the stillness of our own space is a welcome relief. The twins are already down for their morning nap, sleeping soundly through what usually feels like the loudest hours of the day. I watch Lucas kick off his shoes, his movements relaxed and fluid. My chest tightens with a familiar, overwhelming wave of adoration. I love this man more than my own life, and seeing him at peace is the only thing that truly matters to me."The wedding really was beautiful last night…” Lucas says, leaning back against the kitchen counter and offering me a soft smile. "Alex and Xander looked so happy.”"They did, sweetheart.” I agree, stepping closer to him, unable to resist the pull of his presence. "But honestly, the real shock was Aiden's neck this morning. I still can't believe it. Ancient elven magic, waking up right inside our pack house because of Julie.”Lucas lets out a low chuckle, shaking his head. "It's incredible. The unive

SebastianThe inside of Ashton’s BMW is a warm, quiet haven against the crisp winter morning. Ashton has one hand firmly on the steering wheel, but his other hand is locked tightly through mine, our fingers intertwined over the center console. Every few minutes, he lifts my hand to his lips, pressing a slow, bruising kiss against my knuckles that makes my skin tingle.I lean back against the leather seat, staring at his sharp profile. He is wearing a high collar, but I already know that underneath it, his neck is covered in the dark, heavy marks I left on him last night.A sudden, thick wave of pure, possessive desire rolls through our bond, making my heart race. We are so hopelessly, madly in love it feels almost cosmic. The sated, heavy afterglow of our lovemaking is still hovering between us, an electric current that promises last night was only the beginning.Ashton catches me staring and glances over, a deep, rumbling chuckle vibrating in his chest. His cyan eyes melt with a devo

We flip through the heavy, yellowed pages for what feels like hours, the scent of old parchment filling the air, until Ashton’s finger suddenly halts on a dense passage.”Look, here…” Ashton says, his deep voice drawing Aiden and Julie over to our table immediately. He begins to read the elegant, fading script aloud. ”It says that among the ancient elven clans, the rare ability to hear the thoughts of others through direct physical touch belongs exclusively to one lineage. The royal elven bloodline.””What?” Julie whispers, her voice cracking as she shakes her head in sheer disbelief. ”No... no, that’s impossible. That would mean... I’m partially an…elven royal?”She looks completely blown away, her eyes wide as she tries to process the weight of the revelation. ”But…how? My mother is just a regular human. There is nothing magical about her.”Ashton closes the massive book slightly, leaning forward with a thoughtful expression. ”Ancient magical bloodlines can lie dormant for gene

”I need to see them. I have nothing left from my parents. This is where my father was from. I want to know if I have any relatives there…uncles, cousins, grandparents…” Ashton sighs, rubbing his face.Before I can add anything, Xander steps forward, his jaw tight and eyes flashing with protective instinct. "It doesn't matter what's forcing their hand, because they aren't going alone. Alex and I are going with them as backup.””I will come too!” Aiden declares."And so am I" Julie chimes in, stepping up right next to Aiden. She looks between Ashton and me with fierce determination. "I know I still need to train, but think about it—if we are walking into a lion’s den, my ability to hear thoughts could come in handy. I can find out exactly what they are thinking”"She's right" Xander grins, leaning forward with excitement. "A mind-reading secret weapon? That pack won't know what hit them.”I offer Aiden and Julie a deeply grateful look, but then I turn my eyes back to my parents. I l
