ALPHA OF ALPHA'S (XERXES) Patience is a virtue
“Did you send the invitation?” “Yes, I did, Alpha.” “And the preparations? How are they going? Make sure to welcome them with amenity.” Augustus said and Avi nodded, lowering his head a bit he bowed. I watched, fists clenched, heart beat louder, fingers tightening around the shawl he had me wrapped in. His thick, lean fingers clasped in front, eyes staring at me now and then. He was busy, but I was still on his mind. Augustus was a caring lover, possessiveness was just his way of making me feel that he liked me, the moment we came back from Virginia, he had himself incarcerated around me. Taking care of me, giving me herbs that James said would make the poisoning less uncomfortable, feeding me meals, forcing me to take rest even though my heart was restless. It was alarming how he had sent Rasmus to Mikaela. For him Mikaela was the best option to leave his son with, only to make sure that I was contempt in his house. It was sweet but a little startling also. Rasmus was ecstatic u
ALPHA OF ALPHA'S (XERXES) One kiss is all it takes, falling in love with me
“How do I look?”I twirled around wearing a baby blue dress that surpassed just a few inches below my knees. Augustus turned to adjust the cuffs links on his raven shirt when his body visibly tauten. The blue of his irises darkened to resemble the depth of the oceans before his eyes shamelessly raked over my body. “Beautiful,” the phrases were uttered from his soul, I could feel it. My cheeks crimsoned. No matter how daring I tend to become, his frivolous praise always left me shy like a mere pup who receives a heartwarming remark from her mate. I was still that female, who was happy with what was given to her.I smiled to hide my embarrassment for I slowly raised my finger to tuck the strand of my hair behind my ears. My naive action had Augustus fisting his palms as he once more assessed me from head to toe. “So, when is your guest arriving?” To hide my flushed flesh, I tried to change the topic. The tension between us was apparent, illicit yet I craved him like Eve craved the fr
ALPHA OF ALPHA'S (XERXES) To an alliance
Augustus raised his brows. Offended and amused. “Yeah, why don't you show me how to kiss like an adult then? I bet your lips could show me the daylights,” he challenged, tightening his hold. His lips puckered in a pout. I could die to see this side of him. Mischievous and whiny. “Relax-““Alpha, he’s here.” Avi’s voice interrupted us as Augustus grimaced at him. Avi looked between the proximity of both of us as his eyes widened for a second then he bowed. “My apologies, Alpha. I didn’t see you-““Of course, Avi. You should retire from being my Beta for you can hardly hear anything, see anything or even process anything.” Augustus gloomed as I pulled away and stood by his side, and gave a small smile to Avi who looked bewildered. Inclining his head to the side, he frowned.“But I just did my checkup last week. James said I was fit and heal-“My laugh had him frowning more and Augustus groaned. “Whatever, let’s go.” Avi was still confused. I felt bad for him. He turned, mumbling to
ALPHA OF ALPHA'S (XERXES) Runaway
Sitting at touching distance from him made me realise how much closer danger was getting. Kai knew my whereabouts which would mean Xerxes wasn’t far. The thought itself was frightening in a soul-shuddering way. My heart was barely at ease. I couldn’t even hear Augustus and Kai conversing. Future alliance. Alliance where Augustus would suffer for my runaway. What was I ought to do now? I couldn’t face Xerxes for I couldn’t handle his wrath. He brought pain and suffering and the fact that Kai had witnessed the proximity of Augustus and me, was going to bring hell on Earth. The hell that would burn me. My body shivered. Kai’s eyes were enclosing on me now and then, there were provoking words that he was telling me through his eyes. And now, I couldn’t think straight as I gulped and grabbed Augustus’s shirt tugging it. “I-I need to use the bathroom,” I mumbled, avoiding his eyes. I shouldn’t lie to him but I couldn’t tell him the truth for that would bring him more suffering. Sensing m
ALPHA OF ALPHA'S (XERXES) Betrayal is betrayal
My feet thumped against the forest floor, dizziness slowly creeping through my head, heart pounding loudly in my chest and yet I couldn’t figure out where I was running. It was so difficult, so paranoid to think that he was coming for me. Though Kai hadn’t said the words, I knew, that the moment he would be back, Xerxes would be coming for me. The thought scare the thought of living inside me. All the efforts Augustus made to keep me alive were now in vain. I was again at the beginning, running for my life from the one who was supposed to protect me with his life. A strangled sob left my lips as I harshly wiped the tears with the back of my hand. The dress I wore for Augustus was now drenched in my sweat and forest dirt. Managing my raging emotions seemed like a difficult job to do since all I could focus on was my mate. The one who was the very reason for my intensifying fear. My feet gave up and I find myself slumping against the tree as my limbs trembled and tears soaked my chee
ALPHA OF ALPHA'S (XERXES) Let me in
“And you ran? Why must you be so adverse to Alpha? You should’ve talked to him, Katarina,” Avi complained, his voice heavy with disappointment. “I was just….trying to get some air,” “Yes, right. By running a mile and passing out in middle of the forest. You’ve quite delusional tastes, I must agree,” Avi did not believe me. Nor my words, neither my actions. I wouldn’t believe myself too. I couldn’t tell him the truth for it’d bring complications, but I could not run either. As much as I wanted to escape this cruel reality, somewhere deep down I knew I had to face it. If not now, then in future. But there was no escape. Xerxes had installed so much fear in me. He had me enthralled with his outer beauty that I couldn’t see the beast behind his beautiful eyes. I still regretted the moment I met him, only if I hadn’t–don’t go there. Avi was constantly breathing down my neck the moment he find my unconscious body under the tree.
ALPHA OF ALPHA'S (XERXES) Always and forever
“The wolves are ready, Alpha,”“Good. We’ll attack at dawn,”*****My back collided against the wall of his bedroom as his lips hungrily pressed against mine. When his erection pressed against my heated core, I let out a lewd moan. His tongue fumbled across my mouth and found mine, greedily sucking each other off, his hands sliding under my dress as he bunched it up on my waist. “Augustus, please,” I threw my head back in enormous pleasure as his lips trailed down to my chin and he left tingling pecks as his experienced tongue brushed across my neck. Moving his hands under my dress, I jumped at the contact of his cold hands against my warm skin. Electrifying jolts erupted at the point of contact. I was not thinking rationally anymore, I wanted him as much as he wanted me. Though whatever we were doing was a sin. But this sin felt so good and so forbidden. As Avi suggested, I talked to Augustus patiently. And he respe
ALPHA OF ALPHA'S (XERXES) Caught the eye of devil
“Happy birthday, Kate,” I smiled at his words before turning around and giving him the biggest hug. “Lucien!” He chuckled in my arms and spun us around as I giggled. “How have you been?” his voice still as fresh as breeze and soft talking to me. I could not believe he was finally here. Two months, he had been gone for two months now. I was anxious if he was going to show up on my birthday today or not. “Finally,” I breathed in placing my hands over my hips and I playfully glared at him. “Now you’re showing me your ridiculous face after two months? Where have you been, Lucien? I missed you, you dimwit,” I said, glancing at his direction. “You’re aware of the reason, Katarina.” He replied, the amusement leaving his tone replaced with stiff words. “How was your trip? Did you find something?” I asked, looking at his face. Two months and he had lost so much weight. Dark circles under his eyes, unshaved chin and messy hairs. Lucien always take

ALPHA OF ALPHA'S (XERXES) New beginning
“Xerina! Stop right there! It’s dangerous!” Luca’s shouts filled the air as he chased after me. His voice was irritated and concerned as I laughed and ran through the forest. Jumping over the lodges of wood and hay, I was covered in mud and dirt. Everyone in the pack loved how energetic and relaxed I was even though I was going to get a better earful of scolds from my father later. But now he had gotten quite used to my tactics. “Hurry up, Luca!” I screeched dashing down the muddy road that led to the cave just between the forest. I stopped when my breathing become haggard and I could no longer hear Luca behind me. Where was he? Did I lose him? A grin managed to creep on my face at the thought. Now I would be able to enjoy myself-“Ah!” A scream left my mouth when Luca suddenly jumped in front of me. Faking a startled gasp I narrowed my eyes at him. “You scared me.”“It’s enough, let’s go back.” He panted as he grabbed my wrist and I jerked my hand back. Placing both of my hands on my
ALPHA OF ALPHA'S (XERXES) Wedding night 2
In that captivating moment, as he lifted one of his legs gracefully in the air, a surge of anticipation pulsed through me. It was as if time had momentarily stood still, allowing us to surrender to the intensity of our connection. His fervent kiss upon my ankle ignited a fiery passion that resonated with the same depth as his kisses upon my lips.With each deliberate movement, he embarked on a seductive journey along the contours of my leg, his tongue tracing a tantalizing path. A tender pause at my knee ensued, where his lips delicately danced, leaving an imprint of affection that sent shivers of pleasure cascading through my entire being. The sheer intimacy of his touch captured my senses, causing me to succumb to an all-encompassing desire that left me vulnerable and yearning.As he descended upon my thigh, his tongue became an instrument of pure ecstasy. Each stroke, each exploration, evoked a blissful surrender within. I, consumed by an indescribable hunger, felt my very essence m
ALPHA OF ALPHA'S (XERXES) wedding night
There weren’t too many people, but I was so nervous all of sudden. I was mucous since morning, even Aurora had scolded me once in between that I was being paranoid for no reason. Well, damn her. It was not like I was getting married everyday. We had completed our rituals for the ceremony, and now I wa awaiting for my mate to come and take me to our shared chambers to consummate the marriage. I was fidgeting with my fingers when I looked myself in the mirror. Wearing a white wedding dress that reached my ankles and a deep cut over the neck that was decorated with lace. The door opened and I gasped as Xerxes stepped inside wearing his black tuxedo. I blushed. He looked so handsome and beautiful that it was almost unrealistic. I averted my gaze from his with embarrassment as he smirked and stepped forward. “You ready?” He asked in his masculine voice and I shyly nodded. Leaning down to my face, he brushed his lips against my cheek. “I can not wait anymore.” I could senses his arousal. P
ALPHA OF ALPHA'S (XERXES) Epilogue
“Papa! Papa!” I peered through the kitchen door at my three-year-old running through the lobby and rushing to her father. An unpleased frown on her face as she immediately looked at her father with a pout on her lips. “Luca scolded me.”Faking a frown, my husband scooped the little bundle of joy in his arms and cradled her in his lap. “Why?” He asked wiping the remnants of chocolate on the corner of her lips. Xerina was fond of sweets and probably Luca found her chocolate hiding spot, that’s why he scolded her. Xerina’s eyes visibly narrowed while she glared at her father. “He stole my choci-chose.” She complained and I chuckled knowing I was right. Xerxes’s laugh filled the air and my chest squeezed–as it did every time I saw him with our family. Joy. Unrestrained joy and happiness. I would never tire of seeing him like this. “He did? Where did you get those from?” Xerxes asked shifting her and caressing her stuffed cheeks. She immediately looked away. “I-I…from mama.” My eyes wi
ALPHA OF ALPHA'S (XERXES) Remember
Her life these past years or more had been akin to sprinting through fog. When she often feel to the core of her soul that life was sacred, when she conclude that the natural world was woven into her heart–illusions and diabolical, that their love was all part of this great tapestry of creation, then she would finally be home. Then her Mother Moon would feel that she had returned. Finally in her arms. She loves her children equally. “We haven’t seen Alpha, there’s no sign of either of them,” one of the wolves said through the door. “But wolves are searching for them, the borders are seized.” Marcus bobbed his head and then his eyes moved to the bed. Aurora had gained consciousness a few hours back and on James’s instructions, she had been resting since then. Daniella was traumatised and he suggested she go back, but the little girl was too stubborn, she insisted on being here with her injured brother and Katarina. Katraina. Marcus was worried for her. She had lost so much blood and
ALPHA OF ALPHA'S (XERXES) Love is death
“Hold them down!” Marcus growled as he ducked through the hoard of rouges coming his way. He snarled with anger as several of them tried to hold him down. The battlegrounds were bloodied, but it didn’t stop him from shedding more as he tore them limb by limb. Some were in their wolf forms while others were inhuman, Marcus shifted into his wolf form and roared like a wild beast before running through the pile and making his way to the house where he last left Aurora. Aurora. Her name should bring him anger, malice and betrayal, but right now he couldn’t think that way. He should be angry at her that sleeping with another man before him, she gave birth to a pup who didn’t carry his blood, and she spiked their mate bond. But strangely, right now all he cared was about her. Nothing mattered. Nothing. He realised he had been hating her for nothing. He loved her, even knowing she had betrayed him. Their relationship was not that was built upon trust and love, but he could change that. He
ALPHA OF ALPHA'S (XERXES) He was here
“I didn’t want to do this, cupcake. I was getting fond of you.” His hands held onto the thick strand of my story hair and he sniffed it making me cry h my nose in disgust. “But power is power. This is the moment I always dreamed of–to be in charge of power.” I swam for the light and he did everything he could to take me into the abyss. He betrayed me, not the other way around.“Why did you lied to me?” I seethed. His eyes looked mockingly at me. It was fear that brought rage, that hot burning anger that seeked to harm. It was a biological button better left alone. When we see something that frightened us, a primitive part of the brain was activated to produce aggression. So, I, when I see all the things around me that make me scared... I was being deliberately triggered... as were my emotions. That rage destroyed me from the inside.“I never did. I really loved you.” He whispered. “You fucking psycho!” Rage filled my voice and I thrashed. Betrayal was a conscious choice for cold indi
ALPHA OF ALPHA'S (XERXES) Hatred
“A-Augustus…” I breathed out stumbling a step back. His blue eyes narrowed as he assessed me with his gaze. Concern was an act of deep and real caring and as such was a marker of our intertwined souls. I sighed in contempt. If he wasn’t here- I didn’t want to think what would have happened to us. “I don’t have time, Katraina. You have to come with me.” He quickly looked around and motioned me to follow him. I gazed at Aurora as she groaned in pain. Leon crying as Daniella looked terrifyingly between us. She was but a child, this must have shocked her to the core. My first reaction should be taking care of my females than fleeing. I shook my head. “I-I can not leave them behind.” Augustus narrowed his eyes. I could see the worry in his eyes, but they seemed somewhat strange. What Madrei told me earlier flooded through my head and I pondered over it once again. It must be Andrei. Did Augustus know? He probably did cause then he wouldn’t be here. But still, something didn’t feel right.
ALPHA OF ALPHA'S (XERXES) You in danger
“Katarina…” his voice was as sharp as I last remembered, profound. I just couldn’t believe my eyes. Never before had I noticed how time was so much like water; that it could pass slowly, a drop at a time, even freeze, or rush by in a blink. The clock said it was measured and constant, tick tock, part of an orderly world; the clock lied. “What are you doing here?” My brain stuttered for a moment and my eyes took in more light than I expected, every part of me went on pause while my thoughts caught up. After a wash of reality, I stepped forward, feeling a new danger in my living room. “I need to talk to you, it’s urgent.” He stepped forward, his fists clenched on his sides and a frown resting between his brows. He looked tensed for some reason. I couldn’t believe a man as terrific as him would step foot in here only to talk to his enemy’s mate. I didn’t know much, but Xerxes had filled me with how much dangerous Andrei could be. The man seemed like he breathed in danger and lived on o
