Alpha Kian And His Captive Mate novel Chapter 43

Kian had stepped up as the unofficial Alpha in his brother's absence. He acquired many lands and absorbed several packs into his pack after Leah died. Seeing him rise to power so quickly, Alpha Garrett had already suggested that Kian takes Adalyn as his mate when she turned eighteen a few months back. He was still grieving Leah's loss and refused the offer.

Despite knowing how greedy Alpha Garrett was, my dad was very much interested in this alliance because he believed that Kian would become unstoppable if we didn't secure some goodwill in that region by marrying one of them and offering a royal rank in the palace to my future father-in-law.

"You look so dashing, Your Highness!" A woman with a high-pitched voice brought me back to the present. "My name is Miranda."

"Miran---"

I got a strange mind link from a pack warrior guarding the cliff that overlooks the ocean.

"There seems to be a war happening in the ocean. Someone is chasing two women with beautiful glowing hair-one has golden hair, and the other's is silver. I don't think they are wearing anything."

"Brock! What the hell?? How many times have I told you to not be on patrol when drunk?"

Brock had a drinking problem. I made sure he was always assigned to areas with the least risk. Never in five hundred years had someone attacked us from the ocean on this barely used fisherman's wharf that was down below the steep cliff.

"Believe me, Beta." Beta? This drunkard wasn't even sure who he was talking to. "The two women are swimming crazy fast through a giant whirlpool, and there are strange lightning streaks going through the water."

Definitely super drunk. His voice was slurry, and he was cooking up some high fantasy bullshit. I closed the mind link and focused on Miranda who turned out to be a wonderful dancer.

I moved on to dance with Sofia when my Gamma Jax linked me. While my Beta was my cousin, Jax was my best friend. He was also mateless like me.

"One of our robotic fishing nets caught a naked woman. She's wearing a silver chain with a pendant and nothing else. She magically survived the shark infested waters."

"Interesting. Does she have golden or silver hair?"

"Dark hair, high cheekbones, a very sexy body is what the fisherman says. Her name is Maya. I'm already on my way to the wharf."

"Oh, she's awake! I'll be right there."

I told my parents about having to leave abruptly. They were now high on wine and lost in each other's arms.

"Is her name Rose?" My dad asked with a voice loaded with sarcasm.

"Do you think she's used to seeing ginormous wolves every day? She's a human, Wy! And Brock was just making her feel warm."

I glared at him to shut up. I should obviously be the one to hold her in my arms and provide whatever warmth she needed. Maya followed behind Jax and tried to push me off to the ground.

"Don't touch her!"

"Whoa, she's my mate." I moved her away from this crazy woman.

"Mate? Do you even know who we are?"

"Two crazy women, probably high on something. Am I right or am I right?" Jax smirked at her while my mate woke up and pulled me close for warmth.

"Well..." I looked at Maya with a winning smirk and turned my attention back to the woman who had her arms wrapped around my neck. With gorgeous upturned eyes and a smattering of freckles on the bridge of that cute button nose, she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen.

"What's your name? Where were you for so long? Where did you come from?"
