I never knew what it was like to be able to look at someone
And smile for no reason.”

~Aiden
When I woke up the next morning, I ran to her home. My wolf couldn’t stand any longer without seeing our mate. I waited impatiently in the shadow of the tree opposite to her home, hidden from the view. I could hear them wake up and start their day.
Just as I contemplated going to her home and knock the door, I saw her coming out. I watched as Benjamin boarded the bus for school. I should’ve been there, kissing and waving him goodbye. How much did I miss on my life?
Anna’s wet hair hung past her waist, a bright smile adorned her face. All I wanted now was to run to her and kiss her mindlessly. I shouldn’t be stalking her, but I couldn’t help it. I messaged Nicholas to meet me at the diner.
Nicholas was shifted

“The best feeling in the whole world is watching things finally fall into place after watching them fall apart for so long.”~Unknown******~AidenI enjoyed every moment with my mate and son. Benjamin was an amazing kid and very mature for his age, he ate the spaghetti like a pro. Not even a single drop of sauce anywhere on his face or dress.I watched him with pride. When he fell asleep, I carried him to the bedroom which was filled with my mate’s scent and it drove my wolf crazy. I looked at the sleeping form of my son and my heart ached to leave him. I wanted to curl around him for all night.Soon, I promised myself as I kissed him good night, inhaling his scent.Their house was so small and guilt clouded me. I am such a bad mate and the worst father. I was living in luxury all this time while my mate and son struggled with their lives. I turned to leave the room and my heart sk

Anyway, we are having a spa day on Sunday. You should come.”Spa day?I chewed my lip.I didn’t have enough money.“Ah, um… I don’t think–”“Girl, we’ve already booked the spa. And, I am not taking no for an answer. Besides, we can just talk and hang around.”“Hayley, I…”“I’

“The time to relax is when you don’t have time for it.”-Sidney J. Harris***~ClaraAfter the guys left, it was now only the women and Hayley’s four-year-old daughter. Hayley lived in the richest part of the town and the streets were filled with boutiques, which in turn were filled with all sorts of leading brands.Diana was pleasant to be around and really cute. She liked Benjamin a lot and always followed him around while Benjamin shied away from her. However, It didn’t go unnoticed that he was always watching her when she wasn’t looking.Hayley parked her car in front of the rich-looking salon. I looked at Abigail, who bit her lip, her expression mirroring my thoughts.We could never afford the luxury they offered. Daniela gave us a warm smile as she urged us to exit the vehicle.“Hey, we got it covered,” she said as we exited.

“The best feeling in the whole world is watching things finally fall into place after watching them fall apart for so long.”***~UnknownHer laughter reached my ears and a low growl ripped from my chest. Brunettes were my weakness. My hands itched, wondering about all the things I would do to her once she was in my custody. But, I was only ordered to watch her from far and report.I stayed away from the restaurant and didn’t speak with her after that incident. With humans so close, I couldn’t risk being exposed or didn’t want to get arrested again.However, when I saw that wolf with her, I was furious. I haven’t seen him before and I didn’t know who he was. His hands were all over her, touching and kissing. That bitch!I sniffed the air but there were so many people around which messed up with my senses. I noticed two patrol wolves in that area, so I backed up, sli

“I don’t need paradise because I found you.I don’t need dreams because I already have you.”***~ClaraI woke up in the morning feeling well rested and rejuvenated. No nightmares haunted me last night, and I didn’t remember a time, I slept in peace. Warmth radiated from Aiden. I turned in his arms, facing him.He was sound asleep with a small smile gracing his lips. It was as if he was dreaming. Last night, we stayed at Hayley’s since it was too late to go home. It was the first time we stayed together, and it felt so right.When Aiden offered to take the couch, I couldn’t let him. I mean, we’ve been too close to worry about sleeping in the same bed. I didn’t know why I felt nervous. When he came out after the shower, I couldn’t take my eyes off him. My heart raced as a sense of déjà vu filled me. It felt as if I’ve seen his na

“You are enough.In every way,You are enough.”-Unknown***~ClaraThe diner was crowded this morning and I was able to forget about the incident for a while. I haven’t been inside the home, so I can only imagine what would’ve happened. Nicholas wouldn’t reveal anything and I concluded that it must be really serious.I badly wanted to call Aiden and ask what happened. Abigail has tried calling Nicholas a few times but he did not answer. She was tensed and with passing time we were getting irritated at the lack of information and I wanted to pull my hair out with all the thinking I’ve doing since afternoon.The crowd has lessened around three in the evening and we took a break in our changing room. Chef Williams would notify us if there are any new customers. Also, one of the new recruits Mason was out there.Mason offered to clean t

“You can have anything you want if you are willing to give up the belief that you can’t have it.”-Robert Anthony***~ClaraI woke up from my peaceful slumber and found myself cuddled to the children. Ben had me in his tight embrace, while Diana lay down on my knees hugging my legs. Sam was lying behind me with his leg over my hip. I heard a soft giggle which was followed by a camera click. I turned my head slowly to see Hayley standing by the door.“I’ll help you,” she mouthed, coming to my aid. She separated Sam and Diana carefully without waking them while I detached myself from the arms of Benjamin. All three children looked so cute in their sleep and my heart swelled with joy. I placed a kiss on their foreheads before getting up. After refreshing, I went down for my much-needed coffee.“Good morning,” I chirped to Daniela and Hayley before pouring myself

“Stab the body and it heals, but injure the heart and the wound lasts a lifetime.”― Mineko Iwasaki***~AbigailAfter two hours of painful waiting, the Doctor came out of the emergency room. Everyone rushed towards him expectantly. No one asked him anything as it was obvious that we wanted to know about Clara and Aiden.“They are safe. Clara is doing well, it’s just the shock. She will wake up anytime now. Alpha Aiden has been given some kind of drug–” He paused, allowing us time to process the information before continuing, “Someone has injected him with a banned drug. It is known to create hallucinations and mess with our senses. High doses are lethal to our wolves.”Wolves?A frown marred my face. I have always felt there was something weird about the guys but this information further confirmed my suspicion.“How much?” Gabriel growled.

The first year it was at Gabriel’s, last year at Saxon’s and now it’s our turn.

Grace in shock and Anna as if she remembered something.We were distracted for a moment when Grace pushed my mom across and raced towards Anna. I was standing in a corner and there is no way I could reach Anna before Grace did.Ben tried to fight back but he was not strong enough to fight Grace. Fortunately, she only backhanded him with her full concentration on Anna.I rushed forward worrying about Anna’s safety when Anna came out of her stupor

~LiamThe call from Aiden was bad news. I doubted a scheming lady like Grace would have gone for them directly.Again, if she has gone mad as he stated she would be ready for anything.I heard footsteps climbing the stairs and composed myself to face the devil herself.“Hello Grace,” I whispered wickedly as she entered the doorless room with two wolves in tow.“Where is the girl, boy?” She sneered with a rage that I haven’t seen before. If I thought she looked like a devil before, she was devilish.“Not here,” I smirked, understanding the danger. If it comes to that, I won’t be helpless. I had fought Alpha’s before and was perfectly ready for this bitch here.“I know that before I came in. Where is she now?” Her voice boomed echoing through the room.I did not flinch as I met her glare.“Don’t waste my time boy. I had given you enough time and

~AidenWe did not sleep that night, instead discussed the situation and sat in the living room watching TV.It was around three am when I received a call from an unknown number.The man who spoke said that he knew who tried to kill Anna and who is hunting down Barbara, he requested us to meet us on the outskirts of the town shortly.I woke up Mom and after discussing the call I, Mom and Gabriel decided to meet this man who spoke to us while Saxon and Nicholas stayed home.Gabriel’s warriors followed us in a safe distance as we proceeded to meet this anonymous guy.When we reached the forest tree line, we noticed a man stood there waiting for us. He was six feet tall and wore a long coat. His thick blonder hair was combed neatly and his green eyes narrowed as he looked at us.“You came,” he drawled as we walk near. “Whoa, three Alphas in one place to meet me, I am not that much popular,” he whistled lowly.

Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you’re in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get. ***~AnnaI couldn’t sleep a splitting headache I had made it worse. I stopped taking medicines long time ago and now I felt like I need one to sleep.The girls did not sleep either, they just lay there and was in their own la-la land thinking about God knows what.I heard a car coming and did not bother to know who it was. If anything, I wanted to escape all this insanity and go somewhere peaceful with Ben. A small cabin facing the beach would be lovely. I loved the ocean and beaches, though I did not get that many chances to be in one in a long time.The door creaked open informing someone has entered the room; I wished it is not Aiden and did not bother to turn around.The bed dipped behind me as the person sat and the girls frowned looking at me and sat up. I still did not bother to turn around. I

~AidenShe rejected us; my heart felt like it was split into two. An unbearable pain shot through my heart making me and my wolf whimper.My mom stood stunned behind me as she took it all in. She did not say anything as I knelt on the floor sobbing. I felt vulnerable and it is not in the history of Alphas to show such weakness in front of other Alphas, but I did not care.All that ever mattered to me was my mate and a son whom I did not even know existed until a few weeks ago,I deserved it, I half expected her to forgive me. My wolf howled in sadness, I sobbed and looked at the closed door expecting her to come out. Will she ever give me a chance to prove myself?I should have confronted her when I first met her, I put it off thinking I was only helping her by not bringing up her past, in my defense she cheated. All the evidence stated that she cheated on me.There is no point in crying now, I should have trusted her. I did not even give he

~Anna“Thick blonde hair, mocking green eyes, tall frame with broad shoulders and he looks like an executive,” I describe his features and Barbara nods confirming it.Shit… I was in danger long before Aiden reappeared in my life. Why didn’t Liam kill me right away? I frowned at the thought.“Why didn’t he kill me right away?” I voiced out my thought.“I am not sure Anna, maybe it is your turn to explain what you remember about that day and how you arrived here,” Barbara says tiredly.“I have no idea Barbara; I was shot and bleeding in the middle of a dark forest when I woke up.” I narrated what happened when I woke up and how I ended up here. My body shuddered when I thought about that sinister howl of the wolf.The entire room was silent when I finished, tears were rolling down my cheeks without any control. All I have known and experienced is pain from the moment I

Two more weeks passed and everything seemed so normal. We did not find any clue in terms of the culprit and the said wolf was missing.The New York partner has invited us to their annual conference and has offered some new deals which would further enhance our business. This time, I decided to take Anna with me.Nicholas is also coming with me and I have assigned Barbara to handle everything in the absence of Anna. I have also asked my mom to help Barbara.Anna was suddenly sick on the day of our travel; she vomited and couldn’t eat anything.She said it could be food poisoning and we were really getting late.Barbara promised to take her to the doctor and take care of her till I come back.“Anna, I cannot leave you here unattended for so long. I will send you the tickets once you are fit to travel. Barbara doesn’t leave her at any cost, stay close.” I said leaving her on the bed, hurrying to the airport.

“Always put yourself in the other's shoes. If you feel that ithurts you, it probably hurts the person too.”***~AidenMy eyes have turned as my wolf took control of my body long back.Ripping the sheets from the bed, I tore it into pieces; the anger was getting the best out of me. The wolf will pay for touching my mate, but at first, I need to show her who is the real man for her.I narrowed my eyes as the bathroom door opened and Anna came out clad only in her towel. The scent of the other wolf so rich in the air and the need to get rid of it was so high.“Aiden,” a surprised whisper caught my attention and I watched as she ran towards me and engulf me in a tight hug.My wolf growled loudly making her jump. “So it’s true.”“Aiden,” she looked at me confused. My eyes were dark and my fangs grew painfully at the thought of her being with someone.“W
