All Chapters of Alpha’s Blood Mate: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

July 2nd This one hit harder than any before it. I woke up feeling so sick I nearly bolted to the bathroom to throw up. I found myself in some other room, my hands soaked in blood. Right as the dream kicked off, I was down on my knees, howling in pure fury and grief. Spread out below me on this huge bed was a stunning woman. Her eyes were shut, but her throat had been ripped open, a huge, raw, crimson gash. Blood was splattered all over the place. Deep down I just knew this woman was my wife. She was the queen, and somebody had slaughtered her. That made two family members gone. Both murdered right inside my own castle. The more of these dreams I get, the harder it becomes to pull myself away from the guy living them. It really felt like I’d lost my actual wife. I don’t think anything could break my heart worse than waking up to find Gabriella dead beside me. I know that sounds insane to put into words, but it’s the truth. My wife and my daughter. Seeing my queen like that made it c

I felt completely drained emotionally. My head was spinning so much that I was honestly a bit scared I might faint or get lightheaded. Leo must’ve noticed the expression on my face because he pulled me into a tight hug right away.His warm breath brushed against my ear as he murmured softly,"Everything’s going to turn out fine.”All I could manage was a wild, hysterical laugh. It started as a small chuckle but quickly built into full-on crazy laughter. Once I finally got a grip on myself, I eased back so I could look straight into his eyes. “How could you possibly say that? Nothing about this mess is fine. I’ve got to somehow grab that vial before the royals do, we need to rescue my parents and Mira, and now on top of everything I have to figure out how to share my body with the soul of a reincarnated wolf. How much more can possibly pile up on me?” I hated how whiny and pathetic my voice sounded, but I couldn’t stop it.“Lyanna, you don’t have to take any of this on. Avenging murders

I let out a sigh and shook my head. “You might be surprised, but they’re not the strongest fighters out of my brothers and friends.”“Who then?”“I’m gonna go grab my phone. I’ll check if Rowan can get here quickly.”“ Rowan?” Lyanna looked like she’d just swallowed wrong and was choking on her own spit.Less than half an hour later, Rowan and Lyanna were standing right across from each other in my backyard. He seemed every bit as awkward as I’d figured he would. I’d tricked him into coming by saying I needed him for some private one-on-one practice. Naturally, I left out the part about exactly who he’d be practicing with. Even though he looked uneasy, Lyanna matched him with pure irritation. She stared at him down, arms folded tight across her chest.I was starting to wonder if this had been a terrible plan. Still, the two of them really needed to sort themselves out. When Mira first got taken, Lyanna hadn’t seemed to blame Rowan at all, but that shifted fast. His own guilt had made

By the end of that first full day sparring with Leo and Rowan, I felt pretty solid about everything I’d picked up. I wasn’t suddenly some unstoppable action-movie badass, and I still wasn’t sure I could land real hits if it came to an actual fight against someone who wanted me dead. But I was heading in the right direction, at least it felt that way. More practice was definitely needed, but I didn’t feel like a total lost cause anymore. That night, after I talked Leo into another round in the bathtub, we were stretched out in bed, blissfully worn out, and I told him exactly what I wanted next. “Can I join the group training tomorrow?” Leo gave me a cautious look. “You sure? Maybe stick with just me and Rowan for a few more sessions first.” “No. I need to use every minute we’ve got. There’s only so much the two of you can show me alone. I want to be thrown into the middle of the mess, even if it’s just pretend. It’ll give me real experience, and if I ever end up in a situation like

Valerian texted me bright and early the next morning saying it was time for hitting the safe houses. My shoulders locked up tight the second I read it. I squeezed the phone hard, then forced myself to loosen my grip before I cracked the screen.I glanced back at Lyanna. “It’s Valerian. Today.”Those three little words hit like a freight train. We both understood exactly how risky and brutal this could get. In my head, it felt like we were at war. I wanted Valerian and the rest of the team to come back in one piece, but I also needed every scrap of intel we could get on Lyanna’s family. If anything happened to them, the guilt would crush me. My nerves were already screaming as I fired off a reply to Valerian.Lyanna looked just as shaken. Her face had gone pale. She was dying for this nightmare to end, she needed her mom, dad, and Mira back more than anything, but she knew damn well the next couple of days could turn deadly in a heartbeat.“I told him to hold until I can round everybod
