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“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
Alessia’s POV“I think we should stop”“What do you mean?” my heartbeat increased as he got up from the bed stark naked as the day as he was born.He started putting his clothes onI got up from the bed in hurry only to his pain as he had claimed my body in every way possible. “ugh” I groaned in pain a I fell down. I looked up at Oliver. He did not even bother to look my way or had the decency to help me. Nevertheless, I still got up and walked towards him “Don’t do this. You promised to be with me Oliver” Tears spilled down my cheeks as he avoided looking into my eyes.“Oliver” I shook him lightly.“What?” he snapped angrily as he glared at me.“How can you be selfish?”I gasped at his tone. This is not my Oliver. “Do you want me to die like the rest of your mate’s?” his eyes glared daggers in my direction.“You were not like this” I muttered.He smirked as he scanned me and that was the time, I felt cheap with the way he looked. MY hands tried to hide whatever they could of my bo
Alessia’s POV“Alessia, Alpha Alex was looking for you” one of the pack members informed me the moment I stepped inside.Giving him a nod, I walked towards the office “I will meet you later babe” Emma left as I had to have this talk with dad privately.Knocking the office door, I wait for him to bid me entry.“Come in” I stepped inside and found him sitting on the sofa present in the office. Mom was sitting right beside him.“We heard that you rejected Oliver” dad started.When it comes to mates and taking over the position of the Alpha, I have always disappointed my dad. There is nothing I could do about it. After all destiny is not in my hands.“Well, he asked for it” I stated. I did not bother in giving any explanation.“I see” dad did not look too pleased. Even though he does not show his love openly, I know he cares for me.“What are you going to do next?” mom inquired as she sipped her morning tea.“I will find another mate who is way more smart and charming than Oliver ever cou
Alessia’s POV“What happened?” mom and dad walked out along with our guest who looked equally surprised.Getting up, I said “I encountered an unpleasant guest who has not changed one bit” “Alessia, apologize. That’s rude” dad chided me in a stern voice.My mouth dropped open at his order.“Dad, he started it” I pointed at Ezekiel who pretended to look innocent.I narrowed my eyes at him when he said “I merely did what you asked me for” “I asked you to leave me, but you dropped me instead” I said out loud so my parents could hear as well.“What exactly happened here?” It was Luna Ashley who gave us both a curious look.Before I could say anything, he interfered “Mom, she could not even carry herself in that gown. I was there at the right time to stop her from falling” Shrugging his shoulders as if it was not his fault, he continued “She asked me to leave her and so I did”“That was not very gentlemanly of you” his mom did not look pleased.“Alessia sweetie has dressed for us. You sh
Alessia’s POV“Mom and dad, you asked for me?” I walked in the office where mom and dad were waiting for me.“Come in Alessia sweetie” mom pats the bed beside her.“So, we have asked all the pack members to not reveal any of your mate’s identity till date. No one will know Oliver was you mate” dad informed me.“Why?” I frowned at him. I was not sure why he would do that.“Because Oliver is Ezekiel’s best friend and beta, we don’t want to give him any chances to spoil it for you. Also, it is in the best interest of both you and Ezekiel. Only then will you be able to develop a healthy relationship. If Ezekiel finds out then there is possibility that he might not like it”It was on the tip of my tongue that Ezekiel does not want that kind of relationship with me and he does not care. “I wanted to point out the Ezekiel is smart enough and must have tried to find out about my past. He is an Alpha’s son. So, he will definitely not stop into this bond complete blindly” I looked from dad to
Alessia’s POV“She is no one important. So, ignore her” before I could take a step further he added “It was my dad’s request. I had to obliged to get her in my car” he explained. Calm down, Alessia. You know the true nature of this relation. You are chosen mates. There is nothing wrong if he seems to be least interested. Squaring my shoulders, I stepped inside. The ten or so members who were present turned to me.There was one girl who stood up with a glint of dislike in her eyes. Great, not even a day and I already have someone who dislikes me.“Who are you?”“Were you invited?” She looked the same age as me. With her brunette hairs, she was a definite beauty. Her gaze was sharp as she took me in. As if measuring my worth to be Ezekiel’s chosen mate.“Hi, I am Alessia Romano” I looked towards Ezekiel. He was casually sitting on the sofa and not bothering to introduce me. Fine, this is how it is going to be.“I am Ezekiel’s chosen mate. If you were not informed before, I got an invite
Ezekiel’s POVThe new beginning seemed to be etched with new twists and turns. When I was thinking that now no one can come in between me and Alessia, there comes my best friend and beta Oliver Crimson.I have been obsessed with Alessia for as long as I remember. Now that she was within my grasp which is only increasing my desire to have her right beside me. I watched her encounter with Oliver. Even though they were talking in low terms, I could see how rude she was towards him. I was furious when Oliver bullied her. No one has the right to bully her other than myself. I can’t stand it.“Interesting” I muttered as I watched she finally stalked off. Oliver looked like he was challenging her or something. I need to find out what is their history while I was away. I dropped a message to Mark to background check what I just saw.“What is interesting?” Ellie stepped in beside me. “Nothing” was all I replied. Why doesn’t she get the hint that I am least interested in her. After losing my

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
Alessia’s POV“What the hell?” was my first thought as I gaped at the unexpected guests. Before I could react, Ezekiel lunged at him and held him by the scuff of his collar. A screamed escaped past my lips “How dare you come here?”“Ezekiel, stop” I screamed.“Hear her, will you?” Oliver smirked.“Why are you here, Oliver?” I glared at him.“Aren’t you all celebrating my loss?” he questioned as he walked past us and tried to enter the house. However, Knox and Em stepped in front of him.“You have no place here dude, get lost before we make you” Knox warned him.“You need to control yourself” I pulled away Ezekiel as I gave a nod to Knox and Em. I know they will handle Oliver. I walked past everyone and took Ezekiel to our room.“Why the hell is he here?” he growled as he started pacing the floor.“Will you please calm down?” I stood in front of him.“He is trying to get a reaction out of you” I tried to make him understand the situation at hand.He was still angry “baby, please calm
Alessia’s POV“We can sleep in the same room. This is your winning price” I grinned as he did a double take. He was not able to believe and asked me one again.“Truly?” I gave him a serious nod.“Yes” he jumped midair in happiness.“Today is surely our day” he smiled at me. His gaze earnest.“It is” I affirmed.“We need to order lots of food and drinks” I cheered as we got in the car and drove towards our home.“Right away, Cherie” he grinned.We ordered take away burger, fries, tacos, pizza, nachos and desserts. After that we ordered booze. Everything will be delivered at the entrance of the pack and the guards will bring it to us. Reaching home, I unlocked the door. Ezekiel followed right behind me.“Thank you, thank you” I held Ezekiel’s hands and jumped in happiness. I never even thought that he would be the one defending me. He laughed at my excitement. I could not contain my happiness knowing Oliver can no longer bother us.“We won” I hugged him tightly. He hugged me back.“I t
Ezekiel’s POV“I will do it” I stood up.“Ezekiel, what are you doing?” Alessia gave me a confused look.“I will fight for your honor” I squeezed her hand and stepped down the bleachers.Alpha Alex walked up to me “Ezekiel, I don’t think they will allow this” he pointed towards the council.“Ezekiel, that sounds the right thing to do” Alpha Trevor gave me a nod of approval. I walked towards Fabian and Irene “Our warriors are not being able to shift due to some unknown reasons. I believe it should be fair on both the sides. I am going to fight for my wife’s honor” Fabian and Irene shared a look. before they could say anything, Oliver intervened “But it was suppose to be the warriors challenging me to demote me”I glowered at him “You will be demoted once I am done with you”“That’s against the rules” he glared at me.“No, it is not. Ezekiel had suggested the challenge. Now if he wants to finish the last match, it is only fair” Alessia joined in on the conversation.“Or are you scared
Ezekiel’s POVBoth of us walked out hand in hand. The moment we walked out and into the dining room, Ellie walked up to us.“Ezekiel, where had you gone?” when she tried to touch my hand, I moved back. Her hand dropped to her sides. However, the smile on her face never wavered.“My mate here needs some pampering so I took her somewhere private” I stated with an obvious hint.Alessia grinned from beside me at the insinuation. Knox waved us over.“Excuse us, our friends are waiting at the table” Alessia passed her sweet smile before steering me away. As we were walking towards the table, I saw Alessia turning back and checking upon Ellie.“Leave her be” I pat her hand.“She should know better than to try and seduce my mate” she glowered at me.“I was the one who encouraged it” I scratched the back of my neck, knowing I am at fault.“And whose fault is that?” she narrowed her eyes at me.“I did apologize” I kissed her square on the lips.“Fine. Don’t make it a habit” she bit out.“Calm d
Alessia’s POV“Relax, don’t let him provoke you. We still have three matches” Ezekiel assured me. I was anything but calm. The next match was once again in wolf form. It was Mike from our side. He was the same built as Oliver but fast. With the way he worked and made Oliver sweat was something I enjoyed. He got some hits at first.As the match continues, both of them started getting aggressive. But the way Mike competed, his agility and strength which not even Oliver could match. He was fast in terms of speed. No one was giving up and match went on for twenty minutes. We were sitting on the edge of the seat.Both Oliver and Mike were tired as it was the longest match. Mike saw an opening as Oliver was so tired, that he was unfocused. Mike hit Oliver square in the jaw. All of us heard the crack as he fell down. “Yeah” I jumped up from my sit and ran towards Mike. He hugged me. Mike is senior to me and I have trained under him.“You were awesome” I grinned happily. I know by now everyo
