Chapter 32: Playing Zarseti - Amelia
Last Updated:
2022-04-23 03:04:49The last few days have been the hardest days of my life. I did my best to stay away when Jasper and Marcus were leaving. I knew watching Marcus leave would be more pain than I could bear right now. I know I’m doing the right thing, but the right thing doesn’t always feel good. Since he left every day has been harder than the last. I try to focus on what I need to do and bury the hurt, but nothing lessens it. All I can do is stop it from showing on my face, but at night I let the tears out.
Every night I’ve cried myself to sleep, letting myself feel the icy cold that has latched itself around my heart and the empty space inside me where the other half of my soul was meant to be. If this is how I feel now I can’t even fathom what rejection will feel like, no wonder it kills some wolves. Honestly, I think death is the Goddess' way of sparing us a lifetime of pain without our soulmates, in which case I think she deserves a thank you.
To keep me busy

A Queen Among Alphas Chapter 33: Betrayal - Amelia
While I wasn’t able to salvage my bond with my own animai, at least I could help fix someone else's. Truthfully, I think Landry and Jennifer will make a cute couple. Just because I’m miserable doesn’t mean everyone else deserves to be. While I have bitter moments, I have to admit helping Landry fix his bond did make me feel a little better. But with that distraction over with I now need a new one. So with that in mind, I make my way back to the packhouse. Once inside I tie my hair up in a bun, roll up the sleeves on my flannel shirt and make my way to the laundry room. I grab a bunch of cleaning supplies and make my way to the staircase. I drop to my knees, line up the products and get to work cleaning the stairs, making sure to give extra attention to the banister and the wooden fixtures of the railing. Time and thoughts float away as I just focus on the task at hand. “Amelia… I didn’t know things were that bad,” comes a sad voice. I look up at the top of th

Iwant to die. It’s been nearly a week since Amelia kicked me out of her pack with promises of rejection and each day kills me a little more. Ace has completely stopped talking to me, I haven’t even been able to shift – not that I want to. I’m in a total state of apathy, I just don’t give two fucks about anything, how can I? Everyone was right, I never took the time to understand Amelia, I didn’t even really try. I just kept making one dumb assumption after another and look where it got me. My animai, the person chosen for me by a higher power, nearly died and I didn’t even know about it, and if that wasn’t bad enough, I tore her down while she was recovering from a near-death experience. No one can hate me more than I hate myself right now, it’s just not humanly or supernaturally possible. When her Beta told us what had happened and I realised just how badly I fucked up, I broke down. I sobbed like a little baby. I felt like a piece of me was dying and it was m

Jasper, Calix, and Aiden appear in record time looking around fully alert until their eyes settle on Davina. Their expressions morph into anger and contempt. “What the hell is going on here?” Jasper demands. “I woke up and found this crazy bitch in my room stroking my dick like it was a fucking genie’s lamp,” I spit, my eyes never leaving her. I don’t trust her for a second. Angry growls erupt from the guys, but Jasper is the most livid as his dark brown eyes start to glow. “You were forbidden from ever returning to the packhouse, Davina, now not only did you return, but you broke into your Beta’s room and sexually assaulted him?!” he growls at her causing the floor and walls around us to shake. Wait, did he just say, ‘sexual assault’? I wouldn’t call this sexual assault… would I? “WHAT?!” she screams. “I didn’t assault anyone! How can you even say that? I love Marcus, I was just showing him how much I love him and making him happy,” she decla
Last Updated : 2022-04-24A Queen Among Alphas Chapter 36: Another Day - Amelia
As I start to wake up I am painfully aware of the thudding in my head. Yeah, I definitely drank far too much last night. If I had been drinking human booze I’d be waking up like nothing ever happened. But Tezus liquor will knock you on your Gods damn ass, and that’s definitely what it’s done to me. Come to think of it I should be feeling better by now. I had stopped drinking after I found out what happened to Marcus… Oh Goddess, Marcus. Some filthy she-wolf laid her hands on my animai. I have no idea who she is, but I promise the Gods she’s a dead woman if I ever see her. I knew they were telling me the truth; Jasper would never lie to me and Marcus… I saw the shame on his face. It hurt me to see it. I know it resulted in my pain and originally I thought he was doing it on purpose but learning the truth… I’m not sure what would be worse; thinking my animai was with another or knowing someone was sexually assaulting him. There isn’t a winning scenario here. They both

“So I think that’s settled. We’ll build the new homes on the west side of the territory,” I say while pointing to the map laid out on my desk. “But we’ll have the trees transplanted to the east side instead of completely cutting them down,” I say as I wipe a hand over my forehead feeling a couple drops of sweat. I’ve been feeling hotter by the hour. “When should we get things started?” Chris asks. “I think we can start construction this month. All the leg work has been done, now it’s just a matter of implementing it,” I say. “The new couples are going to love this,” Vitali says proudly. It’s very common when a mutolupus finds their animai that they move out and get a place of their own. With so many newly mated and marked couples, and therefore new additions to the pack, we had to start expanding and building new cottages, which is easy. It was finding which plot of land on the territory was the most suitable that was the issue. Not to mention land an

As I finally make it to the pack hospital, I notice I’m dripping blood through the corridor, but not much I can do about that. I follow Chris’ saltwater taffy scent and before I make it to the room I can hear his screams of pain. Using the wall for support, I make my way into his room and see Doctor Richard looking down at Chris with a pale, horrified expression; Vitali is watching in anguish and nurses are hovering in the doorway unsure what to do. “Why the fuck aren’t you helping him?” I grit as I enter the room. “Amelia, I’ve told you, you have to get to the bunker,” Vitali says with worry as he comes over to me but doesn’t touch me. “I’m not leaving while Chris is like this!” I shout at him. I glare at Doctor Richards. “Why are you just standing there?” I demand. “Alpha, I… I can’t help him,” he says in a pained voice; my chest tightening at his words. “What do you mean you ‘can’t help him’?” I question as I grip onto a nearby trolley, gri
Last Updated : 2022-04-25A Queen Among Alphas Chapter 39: Rushing To Her Side - Marcus
I wasn’t able to sleep a wink last night, but to be fair, I haven’t had a decent night's sleep since before I met Amelia. If I hadn’t been such an asshole the night we met I could have spent that night with her wrapped in my arms. Every night my soul cries out for her and I know I won’t have peace until I’m with her again. All night I went over in my head what I would say when I talked to Amelia today. I can’t express how happy I am that she’s willing to talk to me and best believe I’m going to take that opportunity by the balls and use it to win back my animai. I was thinking I’d send her a bouquet of flowers, it might be corny, but at least it’s a start. I eventually get up and head down and join everyone for training. During sparring, I take my anger over the whole Davina thing out on every warrior willing to spar with me. After I TKO’d the third warrior, Jasper decided it would be best I fight him instead, which was great. I don’t have to hold back with him and that’s what I need

In twenty-three minutes we’re crossing into Invictus Pack territory and straight away I can pick up Amelia’s scent. It’s perfuming the whole damn territory and has the hairs on our body on end. Ace falters for a second when her scent hits us but he forces himself to shake it off and keeps sprinting to our woman. Border patrol sees us but doesn’t stop us, so Jasper must have done as he said and let them know we were coming. Seriously, they do not want to get in my way right now. Her scent is everywhere and it’s messing with our head, so not knowing where to go we go straight for the packhouse. The front doors are open and Ace leaps right into the packhouse letting me shift back into my human form. I can see a group of people down towards the back of the packhouse, and I recognise some of them as ranked members. They’ve all got their heads turned to me, so I storm over to them. I’m panting and trying to catch my breath after running faster than I ever thought we were capable o

A Queen Among Alphas Chapter 88: Our Happy Place - Amelia
It’s been a month since the Luna ceremony and life has never been better. We’ve had a lot of new changes – mostly to hierarchy structure in the pack. Eric, as the second Beta of the pack, has taken on a lot of ‘traditional’ Luna roles. He oversees pack events and gatherings and his pack support group continues to work wonders. He’s basically the pack’s resident therapist, which I’m realising many were in desperate need of. Being superhuman beings we tend to brush aside our mental health and wellbeing and it’s definitely something that needed to change, so I’m thrilled it has. Evalyn still holds the title of Gamma but now she works alongside her brother Chris handling pack finances. She’s not as skilled in that area as he is, but the woman knows how to budget and she’s a good go-between for the pack and Chris. Evalyn was never going to be built for fighting and physical labour, but she wants to contribute as a ranked member, and nowhere does it say how those bonded to a ranked member n
A Queen Among Alphas Chapter 87: His Mercy - Amelia
We enter the main space, but he doesn’t stop, he pulls me straight into the bedroom and I can hear his heart beating faster. “Marcus, I– ” My words are silenced as he presses me against the door, devouring my lips and sucking the air right out of my lungs. My body’s reaction to him is automatic; instinctive. I fist the lapels of his jacket and pull him against me, needing to feel his body crush mine. Our lips are moving at a speed that screams hunger. “Hearing you stand up for me like that was one of the sexiest things I’ve ever fucking heard,” he growls seductively as he trails hot kisses down my neck as his hands explore my body. “I couldn’t stand her talking about you… like that,” I breathe out trying to remember how to speak as his kisses send tingles of pleasure right to my core. “Fuck, I love you,” he says as his mouth latches onto my mark and his hands knead my breasts through my corset. A cry of pleasure leaves me as his tongue lavishes my mark and wetness pools between my
A Queen Among Alphas Chapter 86: Family Drama - Amelia
I don’t have to walk too far before I’m standing in front of Jessica. I must admit she puts herself together very nicely. She’s wearing a beautiful ivory gown that hugs her slender frame. It has a built-in choker with a triangular front and half-open back and a high slit at the front of her right leg. She has her hair wild and free and has kept to simple gold band earrings, a gold bangle, and nude strappy high heels. Elegant and flattering. “You wished to speak to me,” I surmise. “I had hoped you would do the right thing before it went this far, but you proved me wrong. You’re his animai, you’re supposed to show him respect, instead, you are ruining my son. Everything he has worked for his whole life; gone in an instant. You’ve taken him away from his friends, his family, his home and turned him into…” she trails off with a spiteful look on her face. “I’m going to stop you there,” I interject. If she wants to insult me, she can do it until she turns blue, I really don’t give two sh
A Queen Among Alphas Chapter 85: Taking Bets - Amelia
He did it. He really did it. I’m so elated that tears keep stinging my eyes, but I don’t care if people see me cry. Growing up I always figured I’d run this pack alone. That anyone the Goddess sent me wouldn’t want to be with an Alpha and certainly wouldn’t want to be a Luna. I tried to mentally prepare for it until the day Marcus blew into my life like a tornado. We have had highs and lows and through them, I still never thought we would be here. Marcus is now a member of this pack and its rightful Luna. I know he will care for everyone around him and fight to protect them; it’s who he is. I know that any fight or battle I face, he’ll be right there beside me and vice versa. We are one now in all the ways that matter. We’ve gone around chatting with pack members as he properly introduces himself to those he hasn’t met yet and receives welcomes and congratulations from everyone. My family and friends are so happy for him and for us and seeing them support Marcus, means the world to
A Queen Among Alphas Chapter 84: Luna Ceremony pt 2 - Marcus
The doors swing open, and my jaw almost drops. Don’t get me wrong, what Amelia did for the Vernal Ball was stunning, but this is magnificent. Or maybe it’s because this was done for me that has me so in awe. I’ve never had anyone do anything like this for me in my life, but she did. I don’t know how Zarseti thought I deserved this woman, but I’m glad she gave her to me. The glass doors around the room have been opened and red rose garlands and green vines with fairy lights hanging from the ceiling frame every entrance. Gone are the full-length wooden tables and instead the room is filled with circular tables just like at the ball. But this time they are covered in black satin tablecloths with gold cutlery and gold chairs. The centrepieces are made up of red roses with some kind of green leaves for a pop of colour. At the far end of the room to the right is a large arch made of vines and red roses that looks like nature forged it itself. In the centre of the arch is a small table with
A Queen Among Alphas Chapter 83: Luna Ceremony pt 1 - Marcus
Inhale. Exhale. Repeat. If I just keep doing that I should be fine. Is this how women feel before their Luna ceremonies? How do they not puke? I have been in fights, I’ve fought battles, I’ve fought for my life, but this is the first time I’ve felt petrified. Becoming the leader of a pack isn’t scary, I’ve been left in charge of Aurum Obscuro plenty of times when Jasper had to travel for business, but this is different. I don’t regret my decision; I will be the Luna of the Invictus Pack, I’m not backing out, but I can’t stop wondering what people will think of me. I’m about to be the first fucking male Luna. News will spread faster than an STD at a frat house. Will it lead to more attacks? What if I blow up at Amelia again because of all this? “For Goddess sake, stop spiralling, you’re making me dizzy,” says Ace. “Sorry, I’m just nervous,” I mumble. “Really? I thought you were writing poetry,” he says rolling his eyes. “A little support wouldn’t kill you every now and then.” “
A Queen Among Alphas Chapter 82: Monster In-Law - Marcus
Luna ceremonies are a lot of fucking work but thank the Gods I haven’t had to lift a finger. I used to make jokes about how all Lunas did was plan parties and events, I never meant it, but it is a big part of running a pack, and props to those Lunas. Amelia, Evalyn, and Eric have been working hard on planning this Luna ceremony, the only thing I’ve been asked to do was pick flowers, colour scheme and whether I want it indoors or outdoors. I chose indoors; the pack colours – so green and black – and red roses. I did ask to be left to handle what I’ll be wearing since I want to surprise Amelia. What a blessing Grandma Sorrell had been; she is a feisty bite-size woman. She is so delightful until she gets annoyed and then she’s dropping the hammer. The moment someone around the pack makes a snide comment about me being Luna, Sorrell is whipping them into shape. She doesn’t even have to do much. A strong smack to the head or a tug of the ears has them in tears and then she makes them do c
A Queen Among Alphas Chapter 81: Solace - Marcus
I kick the door shut behind me, throwing us both onto the bed, her body trapped underneath me. I trace her Alpha’s Mark on her heaving chest with my tongue to the sound of breathy moans as she bucks her hips against me, her needy pussy seeking what it knows can bring it unmatched pleasure. I press into her, grinding my hard bulge against her pussy covered by her soaking panties. “Is this what you want?” I ask as I slide my hand into her dress massaging her breast while gliding my tongue up her neck. “No,” she breathes, and before I know it she’s flipped us so she’s on top. Fucking hell, this is a nice view. “This is what I want,” she says, her eyes and voice full of lust. “Show me,” I tell her as I glide my hands up her inner thighs. She quickly pulls off her dressing tossing it away, my eyes getting hypnotized by the way her tits bounce from the action. She guides my hands to her panties, her eyes on me with so much dominance… you’d think I’d feel weird about it, but it’s fucking t
