The Alpha's Unclaimed Mate novel Chapter 63

Chapter 63: A What-the-Fuck Moment

Fin’s fangs grew as he leaned down towards her neck.

He broke her skin and the venom started.

Right when his teeth were fully into her, venom in full force, a black wolf shot through the crowd.

The wolf slammed into him.

Fin reacted at alpha speed, in time to release her neck.

"Are you out of your goddamn mind?" he snarled, throwing the wolf off of him. "That could have broken her neck!"

The wolf growled and moved to her in a blur, sinking his fangs into her neck. Marking her right on top of Fin’s mark.

"What the hell is happening right now?" Aeron breathed. He’d just witnessed Fin sink his fangs into her. There was no uncertainty. Fin had marked her.

Everyone else was thinking the same thing, staring in horror.

Still biting on her neck, the wolf began to shift back into Dex. But he stopped before he was fully there, about ninety percent, which was very difficult to do.

Aegon, his wolf, was in control. His eyes stayed molten gold.

He continued to hold his fangs on her.

A true what-the-fuck moment that lasted a full minute.

Finally, he released her neck and shot a glare at Fin, who returned it with equal dislike.

No one spoke or breathed.

Dexmon looked at Agnes.

"She did something to Dexmon," Aegon spoke through Dex’s human form. His voice sounded different.

To normal wolves and mages, this would seem odd. Only the most powerful wolf spirits could command in human form.

But no one even blinked or looked around. Fin and Aeron both didn’t know what was more strange: that, or the fact his wolf had just marked her over Fin’s mark.

"Dex, please don’t say such things! Fight for control. You know I would never do such a thing!" Agnes started to sob.

It was convincing. If someone walked into the room at that moment without any context, their heart would have cracked at the sight of her.

But no one flinched or spared her a second glance.

"Arrest her and keep her away," Aegon commanded through Dexmon. "Every time he starts to question, she has him drink something. He pushed the last one away and she stuck him with a syringe."

"We are about to be attacked. I need Dexmon to command his army," King Tiberon replied, looking at Aegon, then glancing at Alaric. "Or we need Serena conscious and ready. One of them is necessary."

Alaric responded immediately, already knowing where this was headed.

"How much time do we have?"

"One hour," King Tiberon answered.

"That should be enough time with venom in her system. We will wake her and she’ll be ready," Alaric replied, jaw flexed.

Dexmon’s confusion, to the degree he didn’t know Serena’s name, would be nothing short of a liability. His erratic behavior all day had not gone unnoticed either.

Even half dead, Serena was in a better position than Dexmon.

Finric moved to her side. He wanted to say absolutely not. She needed to rest.

But this was a bizarre situation.

He gathered she was someone important even without Dexmon, based on the number of powerful people so protective over her. And the fact she would command an army in his stead.

Aeron: Garrett said they got separated six years ago. She’s eighteen now. Did they start training her when she was twelve to command an army? Subtract the year of silver. Five years?

Fin: Based on the fact she was crowned yesterday and at a war summit today nothing is surprising me anymore.

Aeron: She is Hyran’s golden trophy protege. There’s no way he would allow this.

Aeron: Never mind. What is wrong with this pack?

Fin: Nothing is going to happen to her on my watch. I’m not leaving her tonight.
