ALPHA DORIAN ~48 THE STORM
Eden Monroe. I sat in the bustling cafeteria of my college, my mind a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. The smell of freshly brewed coffee and the sound of chatter filled the air around me as students bustled in and out of the room, seemingly unaware of the turmoil brewing inside me.As I sipped my steaming cup of coffee, I couldn't help but wonder if I was on the right path. The uncertainty of my future weighed heavily on my mind, making it hard to focus on anything else. I watched as my classmates laughed and chatted, envious of their apparent ease and carefree nature. I longed for the same sense of contentment and peace, but it seemed just out of my reach. Deep down, I knew that I was searching for something more, something that would give my life meaning and purpose. But what was it? And where could I find it?Lost in thought, I barely noticed as the room began to clear out, and soon I was left alone with my thoughts once again. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for what w
ALPHA DORIAN ~49 COCADEMOM
Dorian Grimaldi. I scooped Eden up from the floor, her body limp and bloodied. My wolf howled in anguish at the sight of our mate in such a state. I surveyed the apartment, taking in the chaos and destruction wrought by the wolf and the vampire's attack. Everywhere I looked, I saw signs of struggle and violence, but no sign of the attacker.My mind traveled back to what the counsels had said, "I leave them no choice." My blood boiled with rage at their words. How dare they think they had the right to make decisions about my life and dare to put my mate in harm's way?My hands clenched into fists, nails digging into my palms as I struggled to control my anger. The urge to lash out, to hunt down every single person who is responsible and tear them apart, was overwhelming. My wolf snarled and paced within me, desperate for blood. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. I couldn't let my anger get the best of me, not when Eden's life was at stake. But the anger lingered, a constant
ALPHA DORIAN ~50 CONFRONTING THE INNER DEMONS
Eden Monroe. I found myself, running through a dark, twisted forest. The gnarled trees seemed to close in around me, their twisted spiny branches reaching out like skeletal fingers. I could hear the sounds of rustling leaves and snapping twigs all around me, and I knew that something was chasing me- something monstrous and otherworldly. Something deadly. As I ran, my heart pounded in my chest and my breath came in short, ragged gasps. I could feel the sweat dripping down my face and the ache in my legs as I stumbled and fell repeatedly on the harsh, unforgiving ground.But no matter how far I ran, I couldn't escape the sounds of pursuit. I heard the pounding of footsteps behind me and the snarling of something feral and hungry. I turned towards the direction, and that's when I saw them - a pack of wolves, their eyes glowing brightly in the darkness as they circled around me.I tried to run, but my legs would not obey my commands. The wolves closed in around me, their fangs bared and
ALPHA DORIAN ~51 DESCENT INTO DARKNESS
Dorian Grimaldi. As I watched Eden run away from me and speared me with her words, my heart sank with a deep sense of despair. I could feel the sadness emanating from my wolf as well, knowing that we had both failed to protect our mate. The weight of this failure was heavy on my shoulders, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness.As I watched Eden cry for hours, my heart ached with a pain that I couldn't put into words. I wanted nothing more than to hold her close and comfort her, but every time I tried to approach her, she pulled away, keeping her distance far away from me.The sight of her tears made me feel like a failure, and I wished I could turn back time to protect her from whatever and whoever had caused her pain. I couldn't bear to see her in such a vulnerable state, and I knew that I had to do some things to make everything right."Eden, please don't cry. I'm here for you, and I'll always protect you," I said softly, trying to reassure her. But she remained sil
ALPHA DORIAN ~52 NIGHTMARES AND SOLITUDE
Eden Monroe. I bolted upright, my heart racing as I tried to catch my breath. The dream had been so vivid, so terrifying. In it, I had been surrounded by a loving couple, feeling their warm embrace and basking in their affection. I was living peacefully, not having issues and I didn't think of anything that was happening. But then, everything had taken a dark turn, and I had found myself face to face with my family members who had been taken from me so violently - my sisters Bree and Anastasia, and my father, Charles."Why did you let us die, Eden?" My sister's voice taunted me, filled with bitterness and accusation."No, no, it wasn't my fault," I protested, my voice trembling with fear and sorrow."Of course it was," my second sister chimed in, her voice cold and unforgiving. "You could have saved us. But you didn't.""I wasn't there Ana! I didn't know this was going to happen to anyone! I'm sorry for everything." I begged profusely. Then I felt my father's hand close around my ne
ALPHA DORIAN ~53 A RISKY REVELATION
Dorian Grimaldi. I knew that it was time to reveal the whole truth to my mate, Eden. It was a risky move, but I couldn't keep her in the dark any longer. "Dorian, what's going on?" Eden asked, concern etched on her face as she watched me pace back and forth. As I approached Eden, her eyes locked onto mine with a mix of curiosity and trepidation. I knew that what I was about to reveal would be a shock to her system, but it was necessary. The truth had to come out, no matter how difficult it may be for her to hear.I took a deep breath, my eyes locking onto hers, "Eden, I need to tell you something. Something that you may find hard to believe."Eden's brows furrowed as she leaned in, her heart racing with anticipation. "Okay, tell me," she said.I let out a sigh, the weight of my world on my shoulders. "I am sure you know that we are not the only ones out there. There are other supernaturals, like vampires, wolves and witches. We also have the deadly hunters and, unfortunately, we've
ALPHA DORIAN ~54 REVELATION AND RESCUE
Eden Monroe. I was numb, my mind racing as I tried to process the shocking revelation that Dorian had just dropped on me. Everything I had ever known to be true about my family was a lie. My parents, the ones who had raised me from birth, were not my real parents. My sisters, whom I had grown up with and loved, were not my sisters at all. And now, to top it all off, I discovered that my real parents were part of the supernatural world.The weight of it all was suffocating, and I felt as if I was drowning in a sea of emotions. Confusion, anger, and disbelief battled for dominance within me, leaving me feeling adrift and unsure of what to believe. How could I have been so blind for so long?As I struggled to make sense of it all, a single word kept echoing in my mind: "supernatural." It was a word that brought with it a whole host of images - werewolves, vampires, witches, and other creatures of the night. It was a world that I had always thought was just a figment of someone's imagina
ALPHA DORIAN ~55 LOVE IN THE FACE OF TRAGEDY
Dorian Grimaldi. As I followed the intoxicating scent of Eden, my heart beat faster with each step. My wolf was urging me to seek her out and I couldn't resist the pull. I soon found her standing by the large glass windows overlooking the gardens. Her long, red hair cascaded down her back in waves, and she wore a simple yet elegant dress that hugged her curves in all the right places. The sight of her made my heart skip a beat."Eden," I breathed, as I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind. She leaned back into my embrace, sighing contentedly."Hello, love," she said, her voice soft and warm.I nuzzled my face deep into her neck, inhaling her scent deeply. "What brings you here?" I asked, my lips brushing against her skin."I missed you," she murmured, turning around to face me. Her Hazel eyes met my gray ones, filled with love and adoration. "And I have some news to share." She added.I raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "What kind of news?"Eden's face lit up with excitement. "

I need to talk to you," I replied, urgency lacing every word, my tone betraying my inner turmoil."Are you okay? Cold feet? You don't want to be queen?"
