The Alpha’s Mate Who Cried Wolf novel Chapter 141

Chapter 141 

‘Alec, it’s time to drink. It will also help regain some strength anyway,’ I say. Alec reaches his hand up and twirls his fingers through my hair, and tucks it behind my ear. I help him sit up. He cups my face and pulls me in for a passionate kiss. He has a look of hunger in his eyes, but not just for my blood. He reveals his fangs and playfully caresses the nape of my neck. An inner heat consumes me, and his teeth sink into my skin. Again, a minute passes, and he struggles to stop drinking.

‘Repeliate’, I say.

He flies back against the wall, panting, ‘I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, he says, unable to look me in the eyes. I pat the bed for him to come back. He sits back on the bed, and I climb onto his lap and wrap my legs around his waist.

‘You better finish what you just started, Alec, or you will be in big trouble,’ I flirt. He sees the fire in my eyes, matching his. Wasting no time, Alec immediately makes passionately love to me.

As Alec gives me a grand tour, we meet up with Magnus and the others in the courtyard.

‘This place is amazing! I can’t believe this is where we now live,’ May exclaims. Sabre, May’s Fennec Fox and Fern’s cat explore the workshops climbing wooden beams and peeking curiously in dark corners and crevices.

‘Anyone is welcome to use any of these workshops to help get our new village up and running and provide goods for trading and selling,’ I say.

Pack members explore the workshops to see if they can utilise them. Some smile and appear confident around the equipment, while others are curious about how it all works. They converse as I continue along the cobblestone courtyard into the garden. I skip and twirl around.

‘It’s so enchanting and beautiful, I say.

‘Enchanting is one word to describe you,’ Alec says,

‘Beautiful would be the other word, Magnus adds. Their words create butterflies in my stomach. I gaze back and forth between them with a playful look and quickly shift into my wolf. I run out through the courtyard and over the drawbridge.

Magnus smirks, ‘It appears our little mate wants to play,’ he says to Alec.

Alec smiles and nods and, with a dash of speed, is already catching up to me, Magnus shifts and isn’t far behind Alec. Alec is the first to tackle me. I shift into my human form for a few moments, and we roll around in the long grass, kissing passionately. Then I shift into my wolf again and dash towards the trees. Not a minute later, I’m then tackled by Magnus’s wolf. We shift back and share a fiery kiss. My fingers glide through Magnus’s hair as he lays upon me. We

continue to kiss until Reaper begins to caw loudly in the tree we lay under.

‘Reaper, do you mind?’ I growl, ‘Your kind of ruining the moment,

“Yes, I do mind, he mind-links.

‘Don’t look or perch in another tree if you don’t like what you see then,

Alec laughs as he sits beside me.

‘I think Reaper feels a little jealous that you have Magnus and me, Alec says.

Aw, come here, Reaper,’ I say, extending my arm for him. He lies down and perches on my arm, and I give him a good scratch under his beak and on the back of his head. ‘Is my baby Reaper feeling lonely and left out? Who’s my cute Reaper?’ I say, mollycoddling him,

Reaper happily soaks in all the attention I give him. Alec and Magnus laugh. Reaper hops onto my shoulder, and we return to the castle grounds.

Magnus and Alec stand behind me as we watch everyone in the courtyard. Everyone is happy.

‘We should let them assign themselves jobs,’ I say.

Magnus and Alec nod in agreement.

‘Can I please have everyone’s attention?’ I say.

Everyone stops conversing and turns to face me.

‘I would like you all to sort yourselves into groups. Please stand here for anyone who wants to be a cook or baker. Farmers who want to grow crops and harvest, please stand here.

The rest organise themselves into more groups: blacksmiths, stonemasons, armourers, millers, servants, carpenters, minstrels, weavers, winemakers, and watchmen. May and the witches decide to focus on being healers and making medicines and potions. Kadva is unsure of what to do but smiles when May and the others insist he works with them in the magic department. It did make perfect sense seeing as his magic works similar to that of a witch and a sprite. Most of the vampires have chosen to guard the castle and protect us. Although I’m not sure why when there is no hostility in Mysteria, but if it makes them happy, then so be it. They take their posts in the watch towers, along the stone walls,

spread out inside the castle in the main rooms and foyers, and stand in the shadows like statues,

Men from the ship carry the trunks and crates of goods gifted to us into the courtyard and place them down.
