ALPHA JAKEย ย ย chapter 134
The morning sun filtered through the curtains, warming my skin as I stirred awake. I felt the weight of an arm draped over me, and my heart fluttered. Memories of the night before surged through my mindโhis hands, his lips, his body against mine. I blushed furiously, burying my face in the pillow. Jake. The Alpha who had consumed my every thought had also been my first. I wasnโt sure what had come over me, or him, for that matter. The mate bond had finally won, and weโd given in to the pull between us. And now, here I was, tangled in his arms, feeling something I hadnโt in yearsโcontentment. I shifted slightly, turning to look at him. His face was relaxed, softer in sleep, and I let myself admire him for a moment. I had no idea how long I lay there, but eventually, my own eyelids grew heavy, and I drifted off again. When I woke up a second time, the bed was cold. Jake was gone. I sat up, the disappointment hitting me harder than I expected. My fingers trailed over the empty sp

The past few days had been unbearable. I avoided Jake at every turn, retreating to the nursery or anywhere I could find peace. Every glance from him was like a dagger, a cruel reminder of his dismissiveness and the cold rejection that had left me shattered. Heโd made it clear I was nothing to himโnothing more than an inconvenience, a burden he regretted sharing his bed with. But no matter how much I wanted to distance myself, I couldnโt. The twins were my anchor, their innocent faces and soft giggles pulling me back to my purpose. Sophie and Fatima tried to cheer me up, offering kind words and teasing smiles, but I could barely muster the energy to respond. My heart was heavy, and my mind was constantly replaying Jakeโs cutting words. One night, exhaustion finally claimed me as I lay on the couch in the nursery, the twins sound asleep in their cribs. I drifted into a restless sleep, my dreams quickly consumed by something vivid and strange. Prisca. She stood before me, radiant

The morning sunlight streamed through the nursery windows, casting a warm glow over the room as I sat on the floor with Lily and Logan. Their giggles filled the air, and despite the ache in my chest from my last conversation with Jake, I couldnโt help but smile. Being with the twins was the only thing that gave me peace now. They didnโt judge or lash out. They didnโt push me away. They simply existed in their innocent, joyful world, and I was grateful to be a part of it. Today was bath day, and I had everything set up: warm water in the tub, towels neatly folded, and a small bottle of lavender-scented baby soap. Logan crawled toward the tub, babbling incoherently, while Lily followed with a determined look, her tiny fists clutching the edge of the tub as she tried to pull herself up. โAll right, you two,โ I said with a laugh, scooping them both up. โOne at a time. Youโre not running this show.โ Logan went first, splashing the water with glee as I lathered him up. His little hand

The room was dark and silent as I drifted in and out of a restless sleep. My body was heavy, but my mind was uneasy, tugged by an invisible string that wouldnโt let me rest. I heard the voice again, soft yet urgent, piercing through the haze of my dreams. โAyla... wake up. Go to them.โ It was Prisca. My eyes flew open, and I sat up in bed, my heart pounding. The room was cold, the night air chilling my skin, but it wasnโt the temperature that sent a shiver down my spine. Something was wrong. I threw on my robe and bolted out of the room, my feet carrying me down the hallway toward the twinsโ nursery. As I approached, the sight of the guard slumped against the wall froze me in my tracks. โLance?โ I whispered, shaking his shoulder. He didnโt respond. His breathing was steady, but he wouldnโt wake up. It wasnโt normal sleepโit was too deep, too unnatural. Fear gripped me as I turned toward the door. It was ajar, and the faint light from inside spilled into the hallway. Slowly

The tension in the packhouse was suffocating. Even as the sun rose, casting its golden light through the wide windows, the lingering unease from last nightโs attack clung to the walls like an unwelcome guest. Every step I took felt heavier, as if the weight of what could have happened to the twins was pressing down on me. I held Lily in my arms, her tiny fingers tangled in my hair as she rested against my chest. Logan sat comfortably on my hip, his little head tucked under my chin. Their warmth gave me strength, reminding me why I had to stay focused. They were safeโfor now. The pack was in chaos. Warriors moved through the hallways, reinforcing security and questioning staff members. Whispers followed me wherever I went, eyes darting toward me with a mixture of curiosity and admiration. They all knew it was me who had caught the intruder. Me who had saved the Alphaโs children. Jake had been quiet since the attack. He had been the first to arrive when I sounded the alarm, his

The packhouse had never felt this tense before. Warriors moved in and out of the main halls, security was on high alert, and whispers followed me wherever I went. Ever since the attack on the twins, things had changed. The pack was afraid, and JakeโJake was furious.He had been working nonstop, investigating, interrogating, and making sure every single security measure was doubled. He barely slept. I wasnโt sure if he even ate. He was always moving, always planning, and always avoiding me.But I wasnโt going to be ignored. People acted like I was weak especially after they found out I was an omega ,they thought they could just lock me up and make me a babysitter instead. Whenever I tried talking to Jake he acted all busy and asked how the twins were. The worst part was Fatima and Sophie also thought it was best I don't get in harms way. They didn't say straight up but it's the way they tried to make sure I was occupied indoors like some housewife.If he thought I was just going to si

I sat on the edge of the bed, watching over the twins as they slept soundly in their cribs. Their tiny chests rose and fell in a steady rhythm, their peaceful faces untouched by the chaos around them. They had no idea how much danger lurked in the shadows, how many people wanted to harm them simply because of what they were. It made my chest ache.Jake might not believe in my visions, but that didnโt mean I would stop protecting them.I ran my fingers through Lilyโs soft curls, her tiny hand twitching in her sleep as if reaching for something. My heart swelled with love, but also with fear. How far would these enemies go?The room was dimly lit, the only light coming from a small lamp by the dresser. I leaned back in my chair, exhaustion pulling at my limbs, but my mind refused to rest.Then I felt itโan odd sensation, like an invisible pull. It made the hair on my arms stand up. I glanced around, my eyes narrowing on the twinsโ blankets.A chill crept down my spine as I moved closer,

The night air was heavy, thick with the kind of silence that made my skin crawl. Ever since the attack on the twinsโ room, I hadnโt been able to rest properly. Something was off in the packhouse, and I could feel it in my bones. I paced the room, arms crossed tightly over my chest as my mind reeled over everything that had happened in the past few days. The failed kidnapping attempt, Jake finally agreeing to take the twins' safety seriously, and the ever-present tension between us. And then there was the dream. Priscaโs voice had been clearer than ever, guiding me, warning me. But about what? I needed answers. I exhaled heavily, glancing at the sleeping twins. Their soft breaths filled the space, a reminder of why I couldnโt afford to be careless. I reached for a blanket, tucking it around them before stepping away. Thatโs when I saw it. The smallest draft of airโฆ coming from the far wall of the room. My eyes narrowed. That didnโt make sense. The room was closedโwind

I didnโt sleep that night. Even after Jake had walked me back to my room, his touch still lingered on my skin, and my mind was a storm of emotions I couldnโt untangle. What had we done? What did it mean? I lay in bed staring at the ceiling, my fingers grazing my lips, remembering the way he had kissed me in the lake. He had pulled me close. Held me like he didnโt want to let go. Kissed me like I was something more than just the woman forced into his life. But when we left the lake, he didnโt say much. He had been quiet, almost thoughtful, his gaze flickering toward me more times than I could count. I wanted to ask him what he was thinking, but I was afraid of the answer. What if it meant nothing? What if it had just been the heat of the moment? I rolled over with a frustrated sigh. My body was exhausted, but my mind refused to shut off. Somehow, I must have dozed off at some point because when I opened my eyes, the room was bathed in soft morning light. I was still

The heat was unbearable. Even inside the packhouse, where the walls were thick and shaded, the air felt suffocating. Sweat clung to my skin, and I could feel my clothes sticking to me uncomfortably. The heatwave had settled over the territory like a thick, oppressive blanket, and it didnโt seem to be letting up anytime soon.Sophie had already declared war on the sun, dramatically flopping onto the couch and refusing to move, while Fatima had gone to the kitchen, attempting to make some kind of iced drink that wouldnโt melt within seconds. The twins were in their nursery, the coolest room in the house, surrounded by enchanted ice packs to keep them comfortable.I, however, was suffering.Standing by the open window, I fanned myself uselessly, hoping for a breeze that never came. My hair was damp at the nape of my neck, and my tank top and shorts felt like they were trapping the heat against my skin instead of providing any relief.โI swear, Iโm melting,โ Sophie groaned from the couch.

Jake's office was exactly what I expectedโneat, organized, and painfully impersonal.The large wooden desk was stacked with reports and maps, the shelves lined with books and ledgers. The only thing that seemed remotely personal was a framed picture on the far wall. Even from here, I could tell it was of Prisca.I swallowed the lump in my throat and forced myself to look away.Jake was already at his desk, flipping through a folder. "Close the door behind you."I did as he asked, stepping further into the room. "So, whatโs the plan?"He didnโt look up. "We need to tighten security. I want to know how someone got past our patrols and drugged the guards."I crossed my arms. "Thatโs obvious. But do you have any leads on whoโs behind this?"Jake finally met my gaze. "Nothing solid. But whoever it is, theyโre getting bolder."A chill ran down my spine. "Then we donโt have time to waste."He nodded. "Which is why I want you to go over the patrol routes with me. I need a fresh set of eyes."
ALPHA JAKEย ย ย chapter 151
The room was quiet except for the soft, rhythmic breathing of the twins. The dim glow of the nightlight bathed everything in a warm, golden hue, making the moment feel strangely intimate. Jake was still standing close, his presence looming but not suffocating. For once, there was no tension, no sharp words or cold glares. Just him and me, existing in the same space without fighting it. I exhaled slowly, brushing my fingers through Lilyโs soft curls. "I donโt think theyโll ever be truly safe, Jake." My voice was soft, barely above a whisper. "Not when someone out there wants them." Jake's jaw tensed, his arms still crossed as he stared down at the twins. "Then we make sure whoeverโs after them never gets the chance to try again." The protectiveness in his voice sent warmth through me, but I quickly pushed it down. I had to focus on the bigger picture. I turned in my seat, looking up at him. "We still donโt know why they want them or whoโs behind it." His gaze flickered to m

Jakeโs thumb brushed against my cheek, slow and deliberate, as if memorizing the feel of my skin beneath his touch. My breath caught, my chest tightening with emotions I wasnโt ready to name.I could feel his warmth, his presence surrounding me, and for once, he wasnโt pulling away. He wasnโt running."Jakeโฆ" My voice came out softer than I intended, almost a whisper, as I met his eyes.He held my gaze, his expression unreadable, but I saw the battle waging inside him. The hesitation. The need. The conflict.For the first time, it felt like he was allowing himself to just be here with me, in this moment, without the weight of his past dragging him back.His fingers tightened slightly on my jaw, his body impossibly close to mine. "You make it hard to stay away."A shiver ran down my spine. "Then donโt."Something in his expression shifted, something raw and vulnerable flickering in his eyes before he exhaled heavily. "You donโt know what youโre asking for.""Yes, I do." My hand came up

The morning light streamed through the curtains, casting a soft glow over the room. I stretched slightly, feeling the warmth beside me before reality set in. Jake was still here. He hadn't left before I woke up like he usually did. My heart did an involuntary flip at the realization. I turned my head slowly, trying not to disturb him, and took in the sight of his face, relaxed in sleep. His usual stern expression was gone, and in its place was something softer, almost peaceful. I had seen him vulnerable only a few times, but never like thisโso unguarded, so human. I swallowed hard, resisting the urge to reach out and brush my fingers along the sharp lines of his jaw. This was dangerous territory. Before I could think too much about it, his eyes fluttered open, dark and sharp, instantly alert. It was fascinating how quickly he transitioned from sleep to full awareness. "Youโre staring." His voice was rough with sleep, deeper than usual. I felt the heat rise up my neck and imm

The man knelt in the center of the room, his face battered and streaked with blood. His shirt was torn, stained with sweat and fear. Behind him stood two of Alaricโs men, their grips firm, unyielding. And then there was Alaric. He stood before them, every inch the cold, untouchable king. His suit was immaculate, his presence suffocating. In his hands, he toyed with a sleek dagger, twirling it between his fingers like an afterthought. He didnโt speak immediately, letting the silence stretch unbearably thick. โso you think you can steal from me? โ Alaricโs voice was a death sentence, quiet but unwavering. The man trembled, his breathing ragged. โI-I swear, I didnโt take the money! I was framed, I-โ The crack of Alaricโs palm against the manโs face echoed through the room. I flinched. The force of the slap sent the manโs head snapping to the side, blood trailing from his split lip. โI didnโt ask for excuses,โ Alaric said, his tone calm, terrifying. โI asked if you knew why you were

I took a deep breath as I stood outside Jakeโs office. My hands clenched into fists at my sides, my heart pounding so hard it felt like it might jump out of my chest. I had been waiting for this momentโto finally have a real conversation with him, to get everything out in the open. But now that I was here, an odd sense of hesitation filled me. Would he listen? Or would he just shut me out like he always did?No. I couldnโt afford to second-guess myself. Not now.I pushed the door open without knocking. He was sitting behind his desk, scribbling something on a piece of paper, his expression cold and distant. At the sound of the door opening, he looked up. For a moment, something flickered in his eyesโsomething I couldnโt quite placeโbefore he masked it with his usual unreadable expression.โWhat is it?โ he asked, his tone clipped and impatient.I swallowed hard, forcing myself to stay strong. โWe need to talk.โโIโm busy.โMy nails dug into my palms. โToo bad. Iโm not leaving until we

I wasnโt sure what startled me awake at first. My body felt heavy, my limbs sluggish, and the warmth of my blankets begged me to stay curled beneath them. But something was wrong. The air around me feltโฆ charged. A presence lingered in my room, unseen but **felt**, and a whisper brushed against my ears. **"Aylaโฆ wake up."** My breath hitched, and my eyes snapped open. The room was dim, only faint moonlight streaming through the window, but I knew I wasnโt alone. My heart pounded as I pushed myself up, scanning the shadows. **Prisca.** I had heard her before, always in my dreams. But this time was different. This wasnโt a dream. **"Wake up. The twins."** Panic gripped me. I threw off my blankets and ran. The hallway was eerily quiet, the only sound my hurried footsteps as I rushed toward Lily and Loganโs room. Dread settled deep in my stomach, a horrible premonition clawing at my chest. When I reached the door, my heart stopped. The guard. He was slumped against th
