Alessia’s POVFor the last two days, Ezekiel took full care of me. He never let me do anything. Right from helping me to do my daily chores, he made sure I was well fed and rested. Dad and mom were very happy with him.To be honest, I never expected to see this side of him. Now that I have seen the good version in him, I never want to see him change. I also heard he made the training process hard for Mia who had pushed me. After three days of well resting, my ankle was not red or swollen anymore. I could walk without any pain. Ezekiel went back to his pack after breakfast as he had stayed longer than expected. He had a pack to maintain.“Do you now realize why we suggested Ezekiel is the best choice?” mom raised her eyebrows at me. We were currently sitting in my room. Mom and dad has come to check upon me.I scratched the back of my neck “How did he have a one eighty-degree change?”“It is hard to digest. He has always bullied me” I muttered.“That was because he was always craving
Alessia’s POVEverything was ready for the ceremony. The setup was made. Packs were invited. Elders were the ones who set the date. The Council however was not pleased with this decision. They did not want Ezekiel and I to be together.As Ezekiel gave the counter attack saying that a contract is in equation and no one can go back to the words once signed. So, they reluctantly agreed. I have a feeling that they will try to create problems between us.“You look beautiful” I looked up to find Em entering the room. Coming behind me, she placed her hand on my shoulder. I looked at her through the mirror. She is wearing a peach color gown with a heart shape neckline. “See, I got you something” she presented me a pearl and cubic zirconia earring along with the pendant.“It’s beautiful” I murmured.“Ezekiel asked me to bring it to you as he could not come and meet you” she informed me.I frowned at that “Why?”“It is a tradition in their pack that if the mate’s meet before ceremony, it is ba
Alessia’s POV“Ah” Em screamed as the Lycan jumped upon her. My reflex was immediate as I took in the senses pulled Em aside. In doing so, Ezekiel collided with the furniture and broke it. Turning around, I faced Ezekiel“Ezekiel, calm the fuck down” I placed myself between him and Em. Slowly I approached him. His eyes were dark. His Lycan wolf was magnificent. He was so big that he took up the whole space in my room. As I placed my hand near his face, he nuzzled in it.“Em, leave” was all I had to say to my best friend. I could hear my parents outside along with his as Em closed the door. Amidst all the commotion outside, I did not look back. All my focus was on Ezekiel. He was breathing hard.“What happened?” my tone low so that only he could hear. His ears perked up as he stared at me. His wolf was worried.“I am fine” I assured him knowing there was something that triggered his senses to make him react like that.“Shift” I whispered.He shook his head. I was confused. I had no ide
Ezekiel’s POVHolding Alessia’s hand in my mine, both of us walked arm in arm and entered the back lawn where the party had started in full swing.Dad and mom went upon the stage. Alessia’s parents were already up there.“Everyone, may I have your attention please?” Alpha Alex took the mic.Alessia and I stood near the stage so that we can go up without any hassle.“Today, we have gathered here to celebrate the union of thunderstrike coven pack and midnight shadow pack” I could feel Alessia’s nervousness as she listened to her dad. I squeezed her hand in assurance. There is nothing to be nervous about. She looked at me and gave me a smile.“My daughter Alessia has selected Ezekiel of thunderstrike pack as her chosen mate. This union is to celebrate and give them reigns as the Alpha to lead our packs”“So, let’s welcome Alessia and Ezekiel to start the ceremony” “You ready?” I murmured in her ear. She shivered as my breath fanned her cheek.She took a deep breath and gave me a nod. B
Alessia’s POV“Ah, I knew I would find you guys here” We were just having dinner when I heard a very familiar voice. I turned around and stood up seeing it was Alpha Trevor. After our last meeting, I spoke to dad about Alpha Trevor. He asked me to follow by his rules and make a good impression. He is also the son of the council and the head of the Lycan werewolf’s.“Alpha Trevor” I greet him with a handshake.Ezekiel does the same, followed by Knox and Liam.“Can we have a talk?” he looked at me with a serious face.“Sure” Both Ezekiel and I shared a look and followed him to the pack house. Dad and mom saw us as we passed by them but did not bother following us. I guess this talk is only for Ezekiel and I.“What do you think is going on in his mind?” Ezekiel whispered in my ear as we walked side by side. I shrugged my shoulder in response “I guess we are going to find out” We reached the pack and Alpha Trevor straight away went towards the office. He walked as if he knew the place
Alessia’s POV“What happened?” was the first thing I asked as we reached the area. Apparently, it was an attack by the rogues on our pack children’s. I watched the mother wailing as she held her child.“Sara was playing with her friend. I think the rogues lured the children near the far end of the woods” one of the guards replied.“Who was on patrolling duty?” my voice was too calm. I was so angry right now.“It was us” Few guards came forward.My eyes narrowed into slits “Why did the rogues enter the pack grounds undetected?” They looked uneasy under my scrutiny.“I asked you guys something” I snapped. They moved back with fear.“It was the shift timing. We had reached the spot when this happened” one of them was brave enough to reply.“Where are the others guards who were on duty before you?” Ezekiel inquired.“They had left even before we reached” the other one replied.“I see” I clicked my tongue.“Call them here right now” I was this close to losing my calm and punish them. The
Ezekiel’s POVWe went back outside “Did Irene and Fabian leave?” dad inquired.“Yes, they left just now” I replied.“So, what is your plan next?” Alpha Alex looked at me and Alessia.“We have sent the bodies to the pack clinic. They will have the reports by tomorrow morning” I informed him.“That’s good”“What else did you find out?” he asked.“We found a doll and car. I think they lured the children into the woods by showing them the toys” I added.“What is your plan next?” dad inquired. I looked towards him.“Alessia will be going to meet Ava as she is the head of the female werewolf’s”“Alpha Jeremy’s mate?” Mom looked at me.“Yes, the very same” I nod at her.“I will be meeting the other packs and find out where the most attacks are happening. We have to make a team and work on the rogues project” I stated“Tell us if you need any help” dad said to me where as others agreed with him.“We will” I nod at him.After that, I turned to Alpha Alex “I would like to take my mate to my pac
Ezekiel’s POV“I meant I will be sleeping in the second master bedroom. You can keep yours” She looked so casual as if it was nothing.“What the hell do you mean you will sleep in another room?” My tone came out harder than I intended.She turned to face me “We will not be sleeping in the same room” she muttered.“There is no way I am allowing you to sleep somewhere else other than our bed” I glared at her.“You cannot force me” she glared right back at me.“Do you even hear yourself?” I was understanding why she had taken this decision. But for the life of me, I cannot be so patient when she is making decisions on her own without my opinion.She folded her arms in her front which made her breast look fuller. I snapped my gaze away as I did not want to be distracted“Yes, I do. And my decision is final” she stated.“I won't allow it” I shook my head at her.She narrowed her eyes at me “You don't have any right to stop me”“I am your mate,” I snapped.“If you are really my mate, you wo
Alessia’s POV“Woah, what have we got here?” dad looked up the moment, I entered the office.I smiled “I found it injured on the pack territory. The vet has checked it. Once it is healed, I will let it fly back to wherever it came from” I explained.“Red tail hawk is rare to find” dad murmured as he tried to pet the hawk. That hawk looked at dad with its deep curious eyes. “There, he is not going to harm you” I pat it softly. It seems to understand me and relaxed when dad touched it.“It looks mesmerizing” dad commented as I took my seat and placed the hawk on the table.“How is everything going so far?” I asked as I took the reports from dad.“So, there was no foul play. Those children were truly attacked by the rogues” I muttered not pleased with the reports.“What happened about your meeting with the female Alpha’s?” he inquired. I explained everything that went down during my meeting and that from tomorrow I will be training these packs.“Alpha Sarah should not have attacked you
Alessia’s POV“That was a long day” Ezekiel muttered as he sat down on the edge of the bed.“You can say that” I let out a sigh.“So, how are you feeling?” he asked me.“I am feeling fine” I replied.“Do you think the curse is vanishing now that you have started healing?” he asked which I had been thinking since I woke up. “That thought did come to my mind, but I don’t know” I shrugged my shoulder in response.“I wish we had some way to find out” he murmured in a sad tone.“Hey” I held his hand.“Don’t worry. Everything is going to be fine” I assured him.“Hope so” was all he murmured.“What actually happened today?” he asked me.“Alpha Sarah was not ready to merge the packs. When I said that it I necessary, she said that I am a new Alpha and have no idea about taking care of pack”“So, you challenged her” he guessed it right.“I asked her if she is questioning my ability and strength, she said yes. That’s when I challenged her” I explained what went down at Luna Ava’s house.“You wo
Luna Ava’s POV‘I cannot believe it’ my heart constricted at the thought that he is here alive.“What, how?” I looked at him. Everything seems to fade away in the background. All that I could see is him. He is here physically alright.I walked up to him and touched him. I gasped when I realized that it is not just a figment of my imagination. That he is truly alive.“I don’t understand” I murmured.“Ava” he finally spoke and that’s when everything came back to me. The way I had fought against Jeremy to let me see him once. The aftermath of speaking up. Those painful days. My heartbreak and bleak life I lived.“Guards, go and patrol the borders. Make sure none of our pack members wander off too far in the woods” That’s when I snapped out of my daze and looked around. We have audience.Once the guards had left, now it was only me, Alpha Alessia, Alpha Ezekiel, Alpha Violet and Mi… I stopped. I cannot wrap my head around the fact that he is alive and standing in front of me. So many ques
Alessia’s POVI woke in an unfamiliar room.“Cherie” I snapped my head towards the sound.“Baby” I smiled at him.Without saying a word, he engulfed me in his arms. I let him hug me knowing he must have been worried. After sometime he moved back and gave me a concerned look.“How long was I out?” I asked.“Around twenty minutes or so” he replied in barely controlled anger.“I am fine” I squeezed his hand in assurance.“You were not waking up. Do you know how that makes me feel?” he snapped.“Why did you agree for the challenge with someone who don’t follow any values and rules?” he went on throwing questions one after the other.“What if something happened to you?” he snapped. I know he was not angry at me but at the situation that we are in.“Nothing happened” I said.He scowled at me “This is a serious matter. We need to call the council. This behavior is unacceptable” he shook his head at me.“Alpha Ezekiel, I know Alpha Sarah should not have attacked Alpha Alessia like that. I hop
Alessia’s POV“What is the meaning of this?” I growled as I saw the fresh red marks appearing on Luna Ava’s waist.“It’s nothing” she pushed my hand away.“It’s not nothing” I snapped barely controlling my anger. There is no mercy for someone who is cheating on his mate.“Mind you own business” Luna Ava grits her teeth when the pain was too much to bear.Seeing that, she is suffering and I getting angry won’t change the situation.I placed my hand on her stomach. I know I cannot ease the pain. For the next few minutes or so, she endured the pain silently. Every now and then gasping in pain. Silent tears fell down from the side of her eyes.After what felt lie eternity, she was able to sit up. But even that seems like a torture to her.“You okay?” I murmured softly as she got up.Letting out a sigh, she replied “I am fine” she muttered not making eye contact.“This is not your fault. You don’t need to hide your eyes from me” I placed my hand on hers in a comforting manner.She scoffed
Alessia’s Pov“What the hell are you doing here, Oliver?” I snapped as I took in the changes he had made to the lake.“Don’t you like it?” he asked ignoring my question.“Your Alpha asked you something” Ezekiel glared at him.“I made this barrier so that you can take a dip in the lake without any dangers” he carried on ignoring our questions. I fumed silently at his audacity to come here at my sanctuary and make the changes.I knew how to get rid of him. There was only one way. Ten minutes later, the guards arrived.“You asked for us Alpha?” they looked at me as I had mind linked them.“This lake is off limits to anyone except for Ezekiel and me. Henceforth, no one should wander around here. If they do, throw them in our cells. I will deal with them later” as I finished, I looked straight at Oliver.“Also clear this fencing. I don’t need one. This is my lake. No one will dare to come here and makes changes without my consent” I ordered them.“Make sure there is no scent remaining. It
Ezekiel’s POVHeat was something which cannot be escaped by anyone and same happened with Alessia. She went in heat when we least expected it. Her rose scent was so intense that I instantly got to know that she is in heat.She did suffer few hours before letting me break her heat. That was the moment I knew I would pledge my entire life to her. She put her faith in me with something so personal. I will never let her down. After her heat was broken, I helped her clean up and asked her to take a nap.I don’t know how long I stared at her before getting up and going downstairs to cook lunch. I mean she will be hungry once she wakes up.“Hey bro, what are you doing?” I got a call from Knox.“Mate duty” was all I replied.“Are you serious?” I heard another familiar voice.“Liam, what are you doing there?” I asked ignoring his whine.“I am here at Knox place and we have decided to go to the golf court. Are you joining us or not?” he asks.“I don’t think I will be able to join you guys as I
Alessia’s POV“You need to leave” Ezekiel murmured as he walked up to me.“Yeah” was all I could say as I looked at his red rimmed eyes filled with desire.After that Ezekiel spoke with his warriors to conduct today’s training and took me back to home. Mark appeared with a bike and gave the key to Ezekiel. I was thankful. This way, we will reach our home without any mishaps. The moment, I reached our home, Ezekiel unlocked the door. I straight away went upstairs with Ezekiel following closely behind me. When I entered our room, I wanted to be alone.“Cherie” he gave me a serious look.I shook my head at him “I have to do this alone” I murmured as his scent filled my senses. It was hard to control myself. Given the look on Ezekiel’s face, I am sure he is feeling the effects of my heat.“Ezekiel, it is not right for the both of us” I had already closed half the door.“Cherie, I can help you break the heat” he said to me.“I don’t think that is appropriate given that your eyes are flash
Alessia’s POVI woke to the urgent need to pee. When I tried to get up, there was an arm stopping me from getting up. Turning my head to the side, I looked and my breath left in a woosh.Ezekiel looked handsome and peaceful while he slept. There was no crease on his forehead. He looked relaxed. I turned around to fully face him. His scent lingered and filed my senses. The woody sandal wood smell was a breath of fresh air. I don’t know how long I laid there watching him.Instead of running out of the room in panic, I snuggled closer to him. The slight tightening around my waist, made me realize that he is awake. I leaned back and looked at him.“Good morning” I greeted him.” “Too early” he murmured in his deep baritone voice.I checked my phone timing and saw that it was four in the morning. There is still one and half hour before the training starts.“Hmm” I mumbled.After sometime, I reluctantly tried to get up. He did not let me go.“Baby, I need to pee” He pulled me closer and pl
