The Alpha’s Mate Who Cried Wolf

Chapter 90

Alec and Juniper spend the night gazing up at the stars and moon as Alec learns everything he can

about Juniper and her past

I think you should tell me more about yourself, Alec. I’ve been telling you everything about myself, but I

still don’t know anything about you other than you’re Alec, the vampire King, she replies

enthusiastically.

The sun will be rising soon, and I’m not fond of the day. We shall retrieve your grandma while it’s still

dark and return to my castle, where we will hold a great feast and celebrate our love. I will tell you all

you want to know about me then,’ he smiles,

Juniper nods, and they hold hands as they trudge through the woods to her village,

‘Over there, that cottage there is where grandma and I live. I don’t see anyone around, do you?’ she

asks.

Alec slowly and carefully scans the area, ‘No, I don’t see anyone,’ he says.

Stay here, I’ll peep through the back window, and if no one is inside, I’ll climb inside,’

T’ll keep watch outside then?’ he says.

Juniper sneaks up to the window, peers through it, then turns and nods to Alec. Assuring him that

everything is well on the inside. I hear her scream not long after she walks into the room. Alec bursts

through the window inside the cottage, only to see men emerge from hiding. One man is holding a knife

to the throat of an older woman, and I know it’s her grandmother. Three men are tackling Nina. Alec

grabs one by the throat and throws the man out the window. The rest of the men stand around me,

ready to fight. I hiss and bare my teeth, making them tremble.

Creature of the night, the grandmother murmurs.

Alec continues to kill them one by one. More men enter the cabin as Juniper is dragged ou side She

screams again when she sees the man with the knife slitting her grandmother’s throat. Alec’s hands

emit a black mist as he summons Shadow Reapers and Grimghouls, The Grimghouls rip men apart,

while Shadow Reapers induce the men to imagine that other men are the enemy, and they begin

attacking one other. Alec escapes the cabin, only to find Juniper chained up 10 a wooden beam,

standing on bundles of sticks. A guy hurls a lit torch at her feet. ‘No!’ Alec yells and rushes towards her,

Men yell, ‘Don’t let him get 10 her, stop him!’ As Juniper screams in agony, Alec snaps their necks and

rips the heads off hundreds of men. As Alec arrives at Juniper, her cries have stopped, and her entire

body is enveloped in Names She is no longer alive

Alec’s breathing becomes more rapid, and he sends out a high-pitched shriek that causes people’s

cars to bleed

Thousands of black flashes zoom and dash around, moving too quickly to identily what they are as

people’s limbs fly across the ground. Shrieks and screams are heard, and it quickly becomes silent.

Finally, the black Moshes come to a halt

Hundreds of vampires stand near their king as they watch him mourn his blood fame. They had killed

everyone in the village The only sound now is the cries coming from the king, the vampire king’

As the sun is about to rise and the fire is doused, he ordero the vampires to retrieve Juniper’s body for

burial of the castle

I am summoned to the Realm of Shadows alongside the Grimghouls and Shadow Reapers. We

emerge of a gloomy mediaeval castle where the only light comes from a few candles spread about.

Alec is standing over a dark stone collin in the underground crypt; he lays black flowers on it, kisses it,

and walks out into the night. Heroises his palms, and a burst of black power emanates from all around

him, opening a vast portal.

I will avenge your death, Juniper, and all humans shall pay, he cries into the night sky. Then, swarms of © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

vampires, as well as Grimghouls and Shadow Reapers, rush through the portal. Alec is the last person

to enter, and I rush in just as the portal closes.

We’ve arrived in werewolf territory. The alpha warns Alec to return to where he came from.

Alec laughs, ‘You fool. I’m the vampire king. It is you who shall be warned. Join me and eradicate the

humans or die along with them,

The alpha charges at Alec but the Grimghouls shred him apart before he can even get near Alec. The

pack trembles and fees, informing other packs of what happened. Alec and his legion wipe out many

packs over time. Anywho had tried to stop him from entering human lands and villages. A slew of

witches come and cast spells to keep Alec at bay.

My blood flame was a witch. You should all be pursuing revenge alongside me!’ he shouts,

The witches work together, casting spell after spell until he is encased in a magical blanket that

prevents his entire body from moving. They create a portal, and on the other side, I can see the

Midnight Coven. Alec is magically forced through the portal. Other witches contain the Grimghouls and

Shadow Reapers and push them through to join their king. Alec continues to fight, but there are too

many witches making him unable to repel all their spells at once. The swirls of magic around him lift

into the air and into the Covenstead. A witch casts a spell in the corridor where two doors are. Her spell

creates a third door, a new section of the Covenstead. She places a book in the room of darkness that

forms into stairs and leads to a dark heavy door. She opens it and casts another spell creating the

dungeon. Witches used spells to confine the Grimghouls and Shadow Reapers to their cells and Alec

to his. As a witch draws a line of salt over the iron-barred door, several incantations are uttered. That is

when Alec is freed from the spell that had been binding him. He hisses and lunges at the bars,

attempting to bend them to escape.

‘It is of no use, vampire king. Your cell is bound by magic to keep you within. No matter your strength,

you will never leave this cell until the day someone lets you out, but after wiping out most of their

werewolf packs and intending to wipe out the human race. Therefore, we sentence you to remain in

this dungeon forever,’ she says and walks away. The witches converse near the Shadow Reapers and

Grimghouls.

‘No, come back. Don’t leave me here. Juniper, I’m sorry! Juniper!’ he screams out in agony.

‘We have never seen these creatures before. I sense they are not what they seem,’ Emmerson the

witch says. Another pulls a mirror from her pocket and holds it in front of a Shadow Reaper. They gasp

as they see an elf in the reflection.

‘Try one of the Grimghouls,’ Emmerson says. The mirror is held in front of a Grimghoul to reveal a

pixie.

‘The vampire King has summoned the Elves and pixies from Silverfay forest and changed them into

these hideous monsters. She explains to the other witches.

They cast many spells to change them into their original states but failed. Being a danger in these

forms, the witches have no choice but to keep them in the dungeon with hopes that a day will come

when they will be returned to Silverfay forest in their natural forms.

As an added precaution, the witches inscribe sigils and lay wards over the doors after closing the

heavy black door.

I’m suddenly back, looking into Alec’s solemn eyes. I burst into tears and wrapped my arms around

him, and cried.

I’m so sorry, Alec. I’m so sorry you lost your blood flame when you found her. I’m so sorry you’ve spent

hundreds of years in here grieving her death and being alone, I say.

I’m sorry as well. I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on her death and realised that she would not have

wanted me to avenge her death. She was so kind that she would have wanted those guilty to survive,

hoping that one day they would see their actions were wrong. he says.

You shouldn’t be in here, in this dungeon. It’s not right to treat you like a

‘Monster?’ he says, That’s exactly what I became when Juniper died, Luna,

‘But you’re not anymore, I say as I gaze into his eyes.
