Mated To Alpha Gregory

Adams’ POV:

I couldn’t believe my eyes, neither could anyone there.

He kept bleeding from his mouth till he fell on the floor.

Ronan rushed to my side and hit me away, getting in front of me. He thought we were under attack and had prepared himself to fight.

“Can someone tell me what is happening!” I screamed. Everyone kept looking with a confused look on their respective faces. It was obvious no one understood what was going on.

We all stood, confused, watching till the man stopped shaking.

“He’s dead.” Ronan spoke, checking the man’s pulse.

Everything moved so fast, it all seemed like a dream. The two guards standing on duty had also moved close to us with swords in their hands, anticipating the worst.

The first supervisor whom I had looked at first was now up on his feet, shedding tears like a baby as he watched his dead colleague.

“The earlier you all started talking, the faster we would leave here. Who do you work for and what do you think caused this man’s death?” I walked towards the men, and they retreated backwards, staring at each other’s faces.

It seems as though they knew something we all didn’t understand. Were they bound by oath not to talk?

If they truly worked for Nathaniel Crane, he could be in trouble and their confession was enough to get him kicked out of the council.

Although he was rich and respected, he couldn’t buy out of the law, especially since I was at the head of it.

For a man to take his own life to protect his secret, it means that there is more to it than we all know.

“Round them up, we are taking them to the mansion.” I ordered.

The moment we went in through the mansion gates, I heard shouts and screams coming from behind the mansion but paid less attention to it due to the situation at hand.

We all walked into the house, but something seemed off. Everywhere was empty, and the house looked like a place where a ghost lived.

Except for the few guards standing in strategic positions in the house, there was no one, not even maids.

“Throw them into the dungeon, I’ll deal with them later.” I left to go to Lilith’s room, to check up on her, leaving the men to Ronan.

I stood at the door and almost barged in, but remembered earlier when she insisted I always knock before entering. I had found the idea to be absurd but if it would make her happy, I was willing to do it.

So I knocked softly. There was no response, and I knocked again, louder this time. It was the same as before, no answer.

I placed my ears to the door and heard sounds coming from within. I tried to listen, but it wasn’t clear, and it made me wonder if there was really anyone there, or it was just my imagination.

I put my hands on the door knob and stayed there at first before pushing it downwards. The door opened up, and I was met by an empty room, filled with her scent.

The sound grew louder, then I immediately knew where they were coming from. Walking towards the window, I looked down directly into the training yard and found almost every warrior in the kingdom, cheering and screaming loudly.

It seemed as if a sort of contest was going on. I squinted my eyes to get a glimpse of who it was they were cheering.

I saw a muscular warrior walking in circles around a space left in the middle and another man who had a female’s body standing in the middle.

I wanted to laugh at the figure I saw because there was no way that it was possible that it was a woman who was about to fight the muscular man.

I stood by the window, forgetting the reason I went into the room in the first place. Suddenly, something moved in my head and I found myself staring at the figure in the middle of the ring.

Everything about this person looked familiar, from the clothes to the skin to the body shape and size. I creased my brows trying to remember where I had seen him or her before when it suddenly dawned on me.

I stretched my neck, to get an even better look at who it was that stood in the ring and gasped.

That was no man or some random woman dressed in a man’s clothes, that was Lilith, my wife and Luna, queen of this pack.

“Hell no!”

How I got out of the room, till I got to the training ground was a mystery. Now I know why the house was empty when I first got in.

Everyone was on the training ground, watching my woman about to seal her doom. I rushed, thinking I could stop her from participating in the duel, but it was too late, the fight had begun.

I wanted to scream, to tell them to stop, but I decided not. She wouldn’t be out here fighting if she didn’t want to, so I let her be. If it gets too difficult, and she can’t handle it, I would step in.

Swoosh! A sword missed her head and everyone screamed.

My heart was in my mouth as I saw this and almost stopped the fight when she did something amazing. She ran forward and jumped really high before landing with a smooth kick on her opponent’s face.

He screamed and held his eyes, staggering backwards till he hit a pole. She landed confidently and stood at the center of the ring, smiling without a care in the world.

The crowd of screaming soldiers cheered her, and I was proud of my woman and would have gone to hug her, but I stopped as her opponent stood up and charged towards her with so much speed and agility.

She took a stance, to defend herself against him, but he was fast, and he hit her before she could get balanced.

She flew in the air and landed heavily on her chest. She tried to stand up immediately but wasn’t fast enough as her opponent had gotten to her, and he held her legs.

He flung her towards the other side of the ring and launched a kick at her arm, lying weakly on the floor.

He smashed into her arm and a loud creak came. Her bone had broken and she screamed in pain.

I couldn’t take it anymore and rushed up to her, kicking the opponent far away from her.

“Lilith!” I rushed up to her as she held her hands. I couldn’t think, I couldn’t breathe. It seemed as though I was the one in her position.

I wanted to help her stand, but she stopped me. Everyone held their breath and got closer to see her.

“Is she dead?”

“Would she survive this?”

“Will she be able to use the hand again?”

These and more disturbing sounds buzzed around my ears, but I was too busy trying to know if Lilith was alright to even pay attention to them.

Suddenly, she smiled and jumped up, to the surprise of everyone. The bigger shock came when she raised up her hand and shook it like nothing had happened to her.

“What the hell!”
