Alpha Brocks Mate Chapter Forty: MEMORIES OF SAPPHIRES MOTHER THE SORCEROUS
Sapphire's point of view –Overwhelmed by a melancholy that seemed to claw at my very soul, I was compelled to subject yet another pair of star-crossed mates to the merciless trial that had doomed all previous unions of wolf and mermaid through the annals of time. The harrowing curse persisted, unbroken like the relentless waves upon the shore.As for my mother, smeared in the mortals' whispered stories and feared as the malevolent sorceress of lore, little did they know the truth that lay hidden behind the tales. Her heart, once tender and kind, was far from the dark caricature they had conjured in their fables.In the cherished, mahogany-toned recesses of my childhood memories, I often found myself locked in fervent debate with my dear mother, the strands of our debate woven tightly in society now with the stuff of myths and dreams.I was unshakably convinced that the mermaid, now the protago
Alpha Brocks Mate Chapter Forty-One: WILL YOU GO OUT WITH ME TONIGHT
Brocks Point of View: When we got back to my pack house, I was surprised that Stephanie offered to help, knowing that I was short a beta. I have never seen someone so competent as Stephanie, she figured out the budgets, went over increasing security with men and changing up on when and who took over a shift of guard, pack security on the grounds. This way someone trying to figure out the schedules of our wolves guarding that tried to sneak in between shifts could not happen.Stephanie has been an invaluable support in managing the company from the pack house. She has meticulously reviewed all the budgets, identifying strategies to reduce expenses and enhance profits. Moreover, this remarkable mate of mine took the initiative to overhaul our electronic security protocols, implementing improvements at my business, within the pack house, and across our grounds.The pack's pups adore her—she dedicates part of her day to engage with the young in the nursery, granting the omegas
Alpha Brocks Mate Chapter Forty-Two: SPARRING WITH THE ALPHA
Brocks Perspective:Tears surged, threatening to breach the fragile dams of my eyelids, as I stumbled over my words, each syllable heavy with the weight of layered emotions—a tumultuous concoction of anger and pain. My voice was but a hoarse whisper, a shadow's echo, barely audible even to my own ears. "Why?" I implored the silence around me, the question digging its claws into the soft underbelly of my insecurities."Why does Stephanie loathe me with such a passion? What hidden sin have I committed to earn her contempt?" The words hung in the air, a testament to the inner turmoil that tugged at the very fabric of my being, unraveling the threads of comprehension. Within me, a war raged between the desire for reconciliation and the sting of rejection—a battle I was far from winning. Jasper's expression twisted into a contemptuous sneer as he replied, dripping with disdain, "Are you truly that blind to your own actions, or do you wallow in ignorance for sport? Her hatred for
Alpha Brocks Mate CHAPTER FORTY-THREE: THE OFFICE PICNIC
Brocks Opinion:Observing the crowd that had gathered around us, mirthful and caught up in their revelry, I resolved to move our private conversation to a more secluded spot. It was important to me that my pack remain oblivious to the tensions brewing between Stephanie and me. Earlier, Stephanie's teasing was relentless, her smirk betraying amusement as she responded to a remark I had made. "The woes of dating a werewolf," she said in a dramatic, sorrow-laden tone. "Especially one who can't control the calendar. Did you ever even remember to check your calendar? Alpha?"Deciding that we should discuss this in the office as I indeed forgot to check this afternoons calendar, as Stephanie filled my every thought, I couldn't concentrate on work or calendars or anything else. I could only think of taking her on a date and having Stephanie all to myself. I scoop Stephanie up, the crowd's excitement lacing the air with a sense of urgency. Darting through the sea of bodies with he
Alpha Brocks Mate CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR: COMING OUT STEPHANIE AND I ARE MATES?
Stephanies Point of View—Brock's eyes widened with horror as he stared at a photograph inside the folder. I had gathered several disturbing images from the dark web for this purpose. It was actually my hacker friends who had unearthed them for me. They had also shown the tech-savvy members of our group the techniques to uncover whatever else they could find.I watched Brock’s horrified eyes looking at a picture in the folder. I had several I had found on the dark web in there. Well, I had some hacker friends find them, and also had my hacker friends teach the computer nerds in this pack how to find what they could. Brock's Adam's apple bobbed like a buoy in a stormy sea, his large, slightly tanned hands trembling as they gripped the damning photos. "You found these where, Stephanie?" he asked, his voice a gruff, uncertain note amid the office that smelled of pizza and wet dog.Grimly I explained how I had my geek friends, letting Brock know that now because of this, that Matthew and
Alpha Brocks Mate CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE: THE ALPHA’S CONFERENCE
Stephanies Point of View:The conference room pulsed with the intimidating presence of twenty Alphas, ferocious leaders whose very breath seemed to sway the fates of those beneath them.A low, primal roar erupted from their throats as they rifled through the data I had meticulously laid out before each of them. The papers barely contained the volatile secrets that spelled out the dilemma of Yadiel.Heated debates broke out as they grappled with the information, their voices clashing like thunder as no two Alphas could forge an accord on the course of action.Some bared their fangs with cries for war, a thirst for battle gleaming in their eyes, while others argued for covert missions, their minds strategizing unseen strikes in the shadows. Yet, there were those who wished to bury their heads in the sand, to ignore the creeping danger of Yadiel, pretending that the storm had not yet reached their doorsteps.My father was once an Alpha known for avoiding conflict. Those who preferred to
Alpha Brocks Mate CHAPTER FORTY-SIX: GUILT
Stephanie's inner turmoil was palpable as I drove away from the Brock's packhouse. As I glanced back, a pang of unfamiliar emotion gripped my heart - guilt. I couldn't shake the image of fear and pain in Brock's eyes as he, along with my father and brothers, morphed into their wolf forms and chased after me. Guilt wasn't something I was familiar with. I'd always done as I pleased, consequences be damned. I blamed it on my Alpha blood, thinking I was always right.Aurina –"Don’t forget to add that you're a coward!" Before I could continue, my own human interjected, interrupting my thoughts.Stephanie –"I am hardly a coward! Offering myself as bait for Alpha Yadiel proves I am not a coward!" I retorted; my voice filled with defiance.Aurina's accusation cut deep, branding me a coward. Before I could respond, she interjected, calling me out on my perceived cowardice. I bristled at the insult, defending myself by citing the times I'd offered myself as bait for Alpha Yadiel, insisting it
Alpha Brocks Mate CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN: CAGED ALPHAS AND SURPRISE GUESTS
Stephanie's Opinion: I plopped down at a nearby coffee shop, giving my dad, brothers, and Brock the golden opportunity to break into my apartment. As I sat there giggling like a maniac, I couldn't help but imagine those Alphas stuck in my house, trying to navigate the ridiculous security system. I could practically hear their puzzled shouts echoing through the halls as they realized they were in for a wild ride. The thought of them all chanting my name in frustration just sent me into another fit of laughter. It must have looked like I'd lost my marbles to the other coffee shop patrons!I called up my friend Linda, you know, the witchy werewolf. We had a blast setting up this outrageous security system. If some hot-blooded creature stumbled in, they'd get tangled up in an invisible maze.For any pesky vampires that dared to come knocking, they'd be faced with a series of puzzles in their enclosure. And if they can't crack it, well, let's just say a stake would make an unwelcome app

Alpha Brocks Mate Chapter One-Hundred Sixty-Six: Ezra, Enzo, and Esme's Fate
Chapter One-Hundred Sixty-Six: Ezra, Enzo, and Esme's Fate Stephanie's Perspective: Time has passed swiftly, and the triplets have become a source of both worry and profound anguish. Aware that the moon goddess foretold the darkness in one of my children, I also clung to her assurance that we could save this child. She warned me of the numerous trials Esme would face, yet I was unprepared for the extent of her frailty and deformity. Parenting in such conditions leaves me at a loss. Each night, I plead with the moon goddess for guidance, as it is I who feels covered in darkness. Yet I heard nothing from her. It almost feels like punishment. I am a fierce Alpha female of the pack, I had made it through giving birth to triplets - Ezra, Enzo, and Esme. I remembered how much when the boys were born, how much Ezra and Enzo, were identical in every way, with their light blonde hair to me. But it was Esme, the runt of the litter, who stood out with her black hair that mirrored her father,
Alpha Brocks Mate Chapter One-Hundred Sixty-Five: Beyond Hope: A Final Attempt
Brock's perspective: I crouched by Stephanie's side, stroking her pale cheek, willing her to fight through. Dr. Mildred was a blur of motion, her hands swift and sure as she worked to stop the bleeding, her brow furrowed with concentration, her lips moving in silent prayer or perhaps a list of medical steps. The clock on the wall ticked in mockery of my racing heart, its hands moving too slowly for my liking. It seemed time itself had conspired to increase the torture, drawing out each moment into an unbearable eternity. Minutes - or was it hours? - passed and finally, Dr. Mildred straightened with a tired sigh, peeling off her gloves. "We've managed to stop the bleeding," she announced, her eyes meeting mine. It was the first hope I'd clung to since it had all begun.With that small reassurance, I allowed myself to draw a breath, my grip on Stephanie's hand loosening just slightly. Then the heart monitor screamed out with a shrill tone showing Stephanie's heart had stoppe

Stephanie's grip on Brock's hand tightened with each wave of pain that wracked her body, her forehead beaded with sweat despite the cool autumn air seeping through the cracked window.Brock's heart raced as he watched his mate, Stephanie, contort in agony on his lap. He couldn't bear to see her in such pain, but he knew that they were running out of time. The driver's voice cut through the air, a note of urgency lacing his words as he asked if they needed to pull over.Stephanie knew time was not on their side, and she felt a growing urgency to act. Accustomed to living without powers, she had forgotten that she could simply wish herself and Brock directly into the safety of the pack hospital. "No, keep going," I gasped, clutching at Brock with one hand while the other grasped at the shards of my fading humanit
Alpha Brocks Mate Chapter One-hundred Sixty-Three: Revelations and new-birth
Stephanie’s Perspective:As the driver for I and Brock navigated the winding road towards the Silverton pack territory, my mind was a whirlwind of emotions. The truth about my parentage had shaken me to the core, leaving me feeling as if I was floating in a sea of lies and deceit. I clutched my swollen belly, feeling the reassuring kicks of her unborn twin boys, a reminder of the new life I was about to bring into this world.The cool autumn air whispered through the trees, carrying with it the scent of pine and damp earth.

Alpha Brocks Mate Chapter One-Hundred Sixty-Two: Stephanie's Road to Recovery: Overcoming Depression and Guilt
Stephanie’s Perspective:I was aware of my issues with emotional control, which is why I couldn't face visiting my parents just yet. The guilt weighed on me, especially since my mother had just given birth and my father was now in intensive care. I had received word that my father and his men had been ambushed by rogues while returning to my former pack.Everyone anticipated that my mother would give birth to another boy; however, she had a girl instead. The sonogram had misleadingly suggested the presence of a penis, but it turned out to be merely the umbilical cord.I called Crystal, now back in the packhouse and in her own room thanks to Linda. I asked her to tell our parents that I don't hate them. Rather, I am a danger to be around until I can control my emotions and my magic.I had never deeply appreciated how blessed I was to have Linda as a friend. She provided the tough love I needed. Without her physically pulling me out of that bed, I don’t know how much longer I would have
Alpha Brocks Mate Chapter One-Hundred Sixty-One: Burnt Blueberry Pancakes
Stephanie's Perspective:A rank odor filled the air. As I glanced around, nothing appeared wrong, which led me to realize the unpleasant smell was coming from me; okay, maybe I hadn't showered in a few days.I rummaged through my closet and picked out a pair of leggings and an oversized sweatshirt. After that, I opened my dresser and chose some underwear. Embracing a gradual approach, I completed my outfit with fuzzy socks, opting for comfort above all today. Laying my chosen outfit on the bed, I grabbed a towel and made my way to the shower. The water hissed and sputtered as I turned on the tap. The steam curled up around the room, wrapping me in a comforting embrace.As I stepped into the shower, the hot water was a sharp contrast to the coldness that had settled into my bones over the past few days.

Brock’s perspective:Darkness had encircled the pack since Stephanie brought chaos to an end with the war. A persistent shadow of dark gray clouds, with occasional thunderstorms, lingered over our pack, each storm an echo to Stephanie's tears.I had to reach her, to break through the pain that confined her to her room. Only Crystal and I could occasionally console her through her sobs; it was hardly a conversation.I asked Sapphire and Selena about her powers' origins, but they refused to reveal them. Stephanie stayed quiet, not even confiding in her best friend Linda.I juggled pack responsibilities and calls about Stephanie's well-being. It all became too much, as Stephanie had excelled as both co-alpha and was an outstanding Luna. I missed having her here to help run the pack.Sapphire had to resume her duties overseeing the secret, cursed pack, a curse her mother insisted on maintain
Alpha Brocks Mate Chapter One-Hundred Fifty-Nine: Navigating a World of Deceit

It was as though I was a living embodiment of the Fourth of July, with outbursts erupting repeatedly and without control.I saw the wolf-wizard rushing toward me, his face contorted with anger and bewilderment. Sapphire stepped in front of him, placing her hands on his chest to halt his advance. Despite being enclosed in my protective bubble, where I shouldn't have been able to hear them.

Alpha Brocks Mate Chapter One-Hundred Fifty-Eight: An Inferno of Rage
Stephanie’s Perspective:I positioned myself to see both astral Brock and Vincent. It became clear Vincent didn't want to harm me; he was torn because he simply aimed to rescue his mate from Adrian. I empathized if Adrian had taken Brock, I'd go to great lengths to reclaim my mate."Vincent!" I shouted, struck by a plan to retrieve his mate without jeopardizing myself or upsetting Brock by using me as bait."Listen, I have an idea. We'll need Sapphire's assistance. Without another viable plan, we can't break through the barrier.Additionally, I've concealed a special gift from most. I don't want people to feel uncomfortable around me, thinking I am reading their mind twenty-four seven. Truthfully, the ability is sometimes annoying. I really don't want to know what people think.
