Alpha Ezekiel’s POVI was in a bad mood as it is. The moment we reached the pack, I decided to go for a run. I was not in the mood to even look at dad right now. He had spoiled everything for me. What he did today was way out of line. “Ezekiel where are you going?” mom stops me as I was about to go towards the woods.“My wolf needs a run” I replied in a cold voice even though mom was not at fault.“Ezekiel, have you forgotten your manners?” dad snapped at me.I turned to face him “Do you realize what you have done today?” my voice held barely controlled anger.“We could have lost the chance to have their support, had I not stepped in. Both of us know that Alpha Alex would have cancelled the agreement today itself” I said calmly. To calmly for my liking.“Come on, nothing would have changed. All of us know your liking towards that cursed girl. Of course, it is not missed by her parents as well” he smirked.“Cedric, stop with the gloating” mom snapped at him.“Do you even want to see y
Ezekeil’s Pov“Mark, I have got a task for you” I started as Mark drove us to the city where I was going to meet other packs regarding the rogue attacks.“Yes, Master. How can I help you?” he asked.“Find out the connection between Alessia Romano and Oliver Crimson” I could see him staring at me through the rear-view mirror.“I think last time, I did not find anything about them” he reminds me.I looked at him “Don’t you think I know that, Mark?” my eyes narrowed into concentration.“Then why do you want me to find again if there is a connection between those two?” he asked. Mark has been close to me since he has been my driver like forever. Dad kept Mark beside me to make sure that I learn everything. Mark is exceptional when it comes to handling things and being unseen at times. He is just thirty-five years old and very loyal to me.“Alright Master. I will find out if there is something going on between those two” he murmured not sounding himself.“What is it, Mark?” I gave him a lo
Ezekiel’s POV“As we know the rogue attacks is being more frequent, we need to be together and eliminate them” Alpha Trevor started in a serious tone.“Recently, my men did research and found that their target is not only female Alpha’s pack but also small packs where they can attack easily. I have got a list” I passed the list to everyone present so that they can understand whom we need to focus on.“According to the list, we need to focus on twelve new packs. They are small in numbers and are vulnerable to rogue attacks” Alpha Trevor mused.“Good job Alpha Ezekiel. The list matches our study. I will contact these Alpha’s as soon as possible so that we can make a plan and train their packs”“I have a suggestion” Alessia started.She had all of our attention “I would like to train the packs. As for the ones who are really vulnerable and very few in numbers, we should suggest them to merge their packs with our strong packs”“That’s a good idea but very tricky” Alpha Knox muttered suppo
Alpha Ezekiel’s PovWe settled down in the car “Hey Mark, how have you been?” Alessia greeted Mark the moment he opened the door for her. Mark looked my way before replying“I am doing good Ms. Romano. Hope you are doing well” “I am doing just fine” she replied and settled down inside. I got in beside her.“Where to Master?” Mark looked at me through the rear-view mirror.“We will drop off Alessia at her pack” I looked towards Alessia.“You are comfortable?” she had her seatbelt on.“Yes” she murmuredI cleared my throat, she turned to face me “Do you want to talk about something?” I scratched the back of my neck “It was very courageous of you the way you handled Liam” She gave me a surprised look and did not say anything “What?” I uttered.“Well, if it is a compliment, then thank you” she replied haughtily.“It is a compliment” I replied through gritted teeth.“Thank you” was all she said.“Why do you have to be so uptight all the time?” I could not hold it back.She turned to me
Alpha Ezekiel’s POV“What is the bad news you were taking about Mark?” I asked the moment we reached the pack and entered my home. I have my own house on the pack grounds. That was the first freedom I got after I met my first met. I stayed here even after I lost her because this is my first house. Our pack house is filled with many pack members. Dad and mom are comfortable staying there. But I chose privacy for my life. I know how the pack members can gossip about their Alpha’s life and words spread fast. Even Knox has done the same thing. He also has his own house. Sometimes when things get too much, he sorts refuge in his city house owned by his family.I have also bought a penthouse for myself just in case I needed it. I don’t really use it except for the partying and was mostly used by Oliver. Now I think I should take back my keys or change the lock instead.“Master, it is about Oliver and Ms. Romano” he started with an unsure look.“And what did you find out?” I raised my eyebr
Alessia’s POVI was in a better mood for the whole part of the day after the slight connection I felt with Ezekiel. I could feel his wolf now that we have started spending more time together. I was glad with the fact that he did not have the same thoughts like Alpha Jeremy or his Alpha friend Liam. Even though we have been apart for years, one thing I was sure of is that he never lies. That only meant one thing, he did not have any problem with being Co-Alpha and managing the pack together.Ezekiel is turning up something which I least expected. I always saw him as my bully. The one who did not let any chance to create trouble for me. Even now, we do have occasional banters between us, but it is never extreme. Right now, we are on the path of getting to know each other.I have no idea if it is needed as he has made clear from the beginning that he is not interested in me. He does not want to accept me as his mate. Well, that hurt knowing my mate does not want me. My wolf was sad most
Alessia’s POVSeeing me stumbling inside, Ezekiel looked surprised and shocked at the same time. He dropped that woman from his arms like a hot potato.“Aww” she fell down right on her butt. I only straightened when Em burst out laughing at the scene.“What’s going on here?” Knox walked in and took in the scene.“Oh, hi Alessia” he greets me.“Hi Alpha Knox” I greet him back.“What happened?” he looked towards his friend deliberately.Ezekiel looked my way when he said “I had just walked in when Ellie here slipped and was about to fall down. I caught her” My lips twitched “What good did it do when you dropped her anyway” I commented dryly as I stepped inside followed by Em right behind me.The woman fumed angrily as Alpha Knox helped her up.“Ezekiel, how could you?” she pouts.I rolled my eyes that. So girlish and over acting.“I am sure Alpha Ezekiel did not mean to drop you like that” Alpha Knox tried to pacify her.“What are you doing here?” Ezekiel looked my way.“Am I bound to
Alessia’s POVThe manager of the restaurant personally came to meet us once we were seated. Looks like Ezekiel knows him personally.“Mr. Ezekiel, hope your dinner will be pleasant. I have asked the chef to make our special dish today” he informs Ezekiel. He does not belong to our community and is a human. By the looks of it, he has no idea about our kind.“This is my girlfriend Alessia. You have already met Knox. And this here is my girlfriend's friend Emma” Ezekiel makes the introduction.I gave him a nod “It's good to meet Mr. Ezekeil's girlfriend”Turning to Ezekiel, he said “Enjoy your meal”With that said, he left.“What would you like to order?” Ezekiel turned to me.I raised my eyebrows at him “Who are you?” I touched his forehead.He pushed my hand with a roll of his eyes.“I am your chosen mate. I guess it has not yet settled in your head” he muttered.“Last time I heard, you said this was just a deal. So what is the point of all this?” I looked at him.“Looks like too much
Alessia's POV I asked Ezekiel to send the diet plan to Alpha Melanie as soon as we reached the pack.Mark followed us inside after we reached our home. Ezekiel went to get fresh as soon as we entered so that I could speak with Mark. The level of understanding Ezekiel has of things, and the maturity he shows is something manh envy about him. He knows when to make himself scarce and does not interfere in my matters. That's what I appreciate the most about him.“Yes Mark, have you got the information?” I looked at him.“Here are the details about Alpha Jeremy” he passed me the file.“Thank you” I smiled at him.“You made sure right that no one knows about you keeping an eye on him?” I had specifically made it clear for him to be very careful. I don't want to cause Luna Ava any problem at the moment.“I was discreet in following him around. He is a womaniser and treats women very badly. I was shocked with some findings. I hope it will help you” he informed me pointing towards the file.
Alessia’s POVReaching the pack for dinner as I had promised, I entered our house. Ezekiel was watching some crime thriller on tv.“You are back” he smiled at me and did a double take when he saw the hawk resting on my shoulder.“Yup” I smiled back at him.“So, this is the one whom you rescued today?” Ezekiel asked as I settled down beside him on the sofa.“Yes. I found him on our territory. Once he is fine, I let him go in the nature where he belongs to” I murmured.“Good” Ezekiel tried to touch it but instead of accepting the gesture, falcon the hawk, pecked its pointed beak on Ezekiel’s hand drawing out blood.“Falcon” I chided him with a glare. “You, okay?” I turned my attention to Ezekiel.“Yeah” Ezekiel is full-blood Lycan so he healed fast.“He does not seem to like me” Ezekiel muttered as he stared at the Falcon who was now sitting near our living room window after I glared at him. He has quiet an attitude.“He is cautious of strangers” I corrected.“I guess so” Ezekiel turne
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
