"Wait… are you jealous?" Rogan asks, looking at me with a stupid grin after I finish telling him about Klein's sudden appearance in my pack.

And Anya’s life.

"Of course, I'm not," I roll my eyes, trying to focus on the email I'm writing, but of course, I don't even know what the hell I'm writing, "Why would I be? She can do whatever the fuck she wants... and whoever the fuck she wants. Even him. I don't care."

It’s just very aggravating and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since last night.

"Sure, buddy. Keep telling yourself that," Rogan laughs and throws the fucking ball up again so he can catch it, like he's been doing for twenty minutes now, "Just don't lose your focus now, okay? Losing your second Challenge would be fucking humiliating. Your dad won five challenges in a row. You have to win at least six."

"I won't lose, shut the fuck up," I growl, pushing myself away from my desk, "But honestly, if we're trying to be fair here, my dad never fought against

    Hannah is a stunning woman. Rogan was insane for not telling me in detail how fucking perfect she is. She's probably the tallest woman I’ve met, slender, blonde, and gorgeous. She's thirty-two and her voice is low and raspy, sensual. She's not only smart, like Rogan said, she's sophisticated and intelligent. And this is my first date in... ever, so I'm a little rusty. Also, my experience talking to women is not the best since all of them end up fucking hating my guts. I can tell Hannah is sexually into me, which isn’t surprising, but she sometimes looks at Shanna and they share a specific look, as if they’re complaining about me telepathically. But I don't care. Rogan is right, Hannah is Luna material. I have to be smart with this one. "By the way… Jae has a son, Tate. Did I tell you about that?" Shanna asks all of a sudden. "You didn't, but of course I know about the Alpha's son," Hannah says with an obvious tone before looking back at me, "How is he? He's around six or seven,

    "Hey, dad!" He exclaims as soon as he opens the door to get into my car, "What is happening? You didn't tell me you'd come for me tonight.""It wasn't planned, dude, I just missed you," I say, and it's not really a lie, but it's not the complete truth either. I feel like shit when he gives me a huge happy smile, "Did you miss me?""Well, yeah. But I always miss you," he says and shrugs, "All of my friends live with their dads every day, not just the weekends."Oh, shit. My mouth forms a grimace, and it stays there as I'm processing the heavy guilt that sets over my shoulders. Tate isn't even complaining about it; he's just explaining why he misses me."I'm sorry, buddy," I mumble, not knowing what else to say, "It's really late right now, so you're going to bed as soon as we're home, but... you'll get to choose what we do tomorrow, okay? We'll take the whole day off, both of us.""Really? I can choose anything I want?" He asks, I nod, "Awesome! Okay, I'll think about something fun.""

    It’s been a while since Jae has occupied this much space in my head. I have a warm male body cuddling me from behind after we just had sex, and yet, I can’t stop thinking about that jerk. He doesn’t want Klein here, so I lied, telling Jae Klein wouldn’t stay here after this Sunday, but he will. Because he’s been talking about proposing to me before the Alpha Challenge. Whether he wins or loses, he wants me to be his wife. And I like the idea, so I don’t want to tell Klein to find somewhere else to live. He’s good in bed, he’s always fun, nice and respectful, he’s good with Tate, he’s clean, and he loves me. The sole fact that he loves me is more than enough for me, actually. Because he doesn’t just say the words, he actually shows me with his actions, with the way he can be vulnerable and the way he lets me rely on him. I loved him back when we only got to see each other once every two weeks or so, but now that he’s here every day, I can see a future with him. So, no. I won’t te

    "What is this fucker doing here?" Tate growls out, his psychotic eyes still set on Klein, "I want him gone."There's a collective gasp of shock, especially from me. Tate never, ever swears. And he likes Klein! What is going on here?! Oh, no, I'm going to have to scold him, aren't I? That's what you're supposed to do when your son yells something mean to his soon-to-be stepdad."Tate Amari!" I yell, looking back at Vivian and Riku silently asking for help, but they're just looking at me because I'm the one who has to do the parenting here, not them, "You should never speak to anyone like this!""This is my dad's territory, not Klein's. I want him gone," he repeats, not giving a shit about my scolding, "Or I'll make him leave myself.""Okay, enough," I say and I walk to him so I can pick him up and carry him inside the house again."Stop it, mom! Don't carry me like this in front of other men!" he growls, angry but not doing anything to hurt me. "I don't want him here. He's always with

    "You can play outside or with your toys, but no tablet and no TV either," I tell Tate as soon as we get home, just because I want him to know he can't push me around and act like that ever again. If I let him get away with it once, he'll walk all over me forever. "She’s so annoying," he mumbles to himself as he walks upstairs with heavy steps, “All I did was protect my territory like daddy said.”“Talk to yourself inside your own head, Amari. I can hear you,” I say, almost laughing out loud when he turns to look at me with the cutest scowl. “And don’t give me those eyes. Go on.”He grumbles and keeps going while Klein sighs and sits on the couch. "So, what even happened? Jae convinced him to hate me?" he asks with a tired tone. I look at him with obvious eyes before sitting down next to him, "I knew he would do that sooner or later.""Well, yeah. Jae told him a bunch of stuff," I say and shake my head as I remember everything, "He crossed the line this time, involving Tate in our is

    { Jae }Olivia and Philip’s wedding is in the same place where I got married, The Grand Hall. It looks completely different from my wedding, but it still brings back memories of a time that was so different from now, it seems like a different universe. I’ve married multiple people since becoming the Alpha, but these two are the only ones I like, so that’s why I decided to keep my word and attend the party as well. Olivia swears I’m the reason they’re even marrying, since I’m the one who made them move to my pack, so she basically forced me to come.Hannah walks next to me as we’re shown to our table and I can feel everyone’s eyes on us, but my eyes are scanning every table for a redhead woman and a boy who looks like a mini version of me. I think they’re not here yet, but I know they’ll arrive soon. And I know for sure I’m going to have a conversation with Anya because she sent me a text earlier and told me she wanted to speak to me. So, I’m... eager. “Good evening, everyone. Thi

    I immediately bring my arm back around Hannah's waist and I open my mouth to say something, but then Anya is right in front of me, and I look into her eyes for the first time in five years. And that's it. The world fully stops. It stops, starts again, rewinds, and does a bunch of other shit, and I'm still standing there like a dumbass, looking into her eyes. But she's looking right at mine too. And I feel... like shit. I feel like I'm in deep, deep shit. Because my wolf is having a whole revolution inside my head, claiming Anya is his mate. His fated mate. He’s sure of it. He knows for certain Anya is his. My ex-wife, Anya. The girl who hates my guts the most. The girl I treated like shit from start to finish. She's my mate. And I'm extremely confused and disoriented, but I know I'm in deep shit.Me, having a fated mate? Now I know for sure the world is unfair and broken. I don't deserve love, especially not this kind of never-ending, true love. And especially not from Anya.Th

    "You fucking stay out," Jae says and pushes hard as fuck on Klein's chest before closing the door right in his face. I gasp and try to open it again so my boyfriend can come in, but as soon as my hand moves to grab the handle, Jae's black eyes are on me again, dark and heavy. "Don't. He has no reason to be here."I want to argue, but then I bite my tongue and decide not to. Why make this even harder than it has to be? The last thing I want is for Klein and Jae to have a confrontation, so I just nod. Jae finally relaxes a little bit, but I can't do the same, not if his Alpha wolf is still present, making my whole body vibrate with feelings I don’t want to feel and the need to submit to him. To let this moment be the sweet reunion it should be. But he doesn’t deserve a sweet reunion. He doesn’t deserve anything. "I want you to be fully human, Jae. Push your wolf away," I order, trying to stop my voice from shaking. Jae just looks at me for a couple of seconds before nodding. A second

  • Alpha’s Hate And Redemption    Epilogue

    { Epílogue }Six Years Later The day I hate the most is finally over. The third Alpha Challenge is done and, unsurprisingly, my man won. He fought for almost two hours against five very brave but very dumb competitors. He's once again, the Alpha of Ellington. And now we're back home, all safe and sound, so I can finally breathe. I guess you could say I am a little traumatized about what happened at the Challenge when Jae almost dies and lost his memory. Things are so, so different now."My daddy is the strongest," Iseul says, looking up at Jae with sparkling eyes because she loves her dad. She looks at him like he's the fucking sun."And you're the sweetest daughter alive," he says, finally picking her up even though I know he must be tired as hell. He kisses her chubby cheeks over and over, making her laugh in pure joy. Jae walks a few steps until he can sit his ass on the couch and he groans, "Where's your brother, huh?”"Still outside," Iseul says. And that's true, Tate never

  • Alpha’s Hate And Redemption    The End

    I remember being told Anya sent me a 'good luck' little pastry and I thought, ‘damn she knows I don't like sweet treats, but I'll eat it anyway because I don't want her to get mad at me for not doing it’.Next thing I know, I can't even move my body correctly and my mind is all slow and slurry. I couldn't even move my mouth enough to fucking talk. "What happened after I went down?" I ask my father when I'm back in their house after being discharged. My memories are back into place, so now we're allowed to talk normally. My dad growls in anger."Anya ran to you," he starts, making me lift my eyebrows in complete shock, "She ran and shifted to attack Klein in wolf form, she got him real good actually. His arm got the worst of it, but she managed to bite his head, too. The council was going to let the Challenge continue, but Anya and Rogan figured out you ate that pastry thing, which you never fucking do. Also, Anya never sent anything. The fact that they figured it out so early was the

    I shake my head. I don't know much about myself, but I do know I wouldn't do something like that."No," I say, the girl frowns and looks at me, then nods, "Nu-uh.""Yes.""No," I repeat, "There is no way.""Jae, I'm the only one in this room that remembers anything," she spits out at me, "I remember what happened, you don't.""But I'm me," I say and I point a finger to my head, "And I don't think I would do that.""You did," she says, clasping her hands into fists, "And I want you to say you’re sorry again.""Why? I don't even remember. I think you're lying to get my attention and get me horny for you again," I joke, making her eyes get red, so I relent. I take a deep breath, "I'm just joking.""I know you are fucking joking because I know you and your stupid jokes," she yells, "I know you! I remember everything. And you don't."She starts full blown crying then, so I force myself to take this seriously. And consider the fact that I... hurt her on purpose? For what reason? The only wa

    { Jae }It's been almost twenty four hours since I woke up after my fight and fortunately, some things are starting to make more sense, but I'm still struggling to remember 80% of things. I don't even remember my best friend, but it helps that he's here, forcing me to remember."Rogan," I close my eyes with stress, "I believe you, dude. I just don't remember.""Well, shut up and let me continue," he spits with a furrowed brow and opens his mouth as if he really wants to keep telling me our entire friendship story, from the very very beginning, when we were ten years old. This bastard really has a good memory, "We've only had one fight, back when we were in sophomore year, it was over a girl. I didn't actually like her that much but I..."The door opens slowly and I sigh in relief because someone is finally saving me from this storyteller. A head peeks in and I recognize her as the crying girl from yesterday, the one with long red hair."Anya," Rogan says, and he suddenly tenses up, lo

    { Anya }I leave Jae's room even though Vivian is telling me it's not necessary. I close the door behind me and cover my mouth to control my sobs, but I can't.No. No. No.I refuse to believe this is really happening to me. Jae has been in intensive care for two days while the swelling in his brain goes down from the fracture that idiot Klein gave him. I've been here with him, holding his hand and wishing with all my might that he'll be okay.I know he's going to be okay now. And I also know, logically, that it's completely normal to have trouble stringing thoughts together after such trauma. I know Jae could be back to normal in a few hours or a few days, once he gets better.But logic doesn't fix how I feel right this second. Jae looked at me and ignored me like I was nobody, then implied he didn't remember me. And then he talked to me that way... like he used to when I first met him.I can't do it again, I can't deal with Jae treating me like crap again. I won't, I refuse. I've l

    "What's going on?!" I grumble once we're backstage, completely disoriented. When I see Jae being brought in on a damn portable stretcher, I run towards him."Luna Anya, please stay away," a paramedic tells me, holding me back. I'm about to tell him I'm a doctor and I have a right to see what the hell is happening with my mate, but Rogan grabs me from behind and pulls me away."This isn't normal. Jae didn't do anything to fight, that’s not him!" I say, but Rogan keeps restraining me and trying to quiet me down, "You can't let this happen, Ro. Something was wrong with him.”"Anya, Anya, please," Ro continues, "I know it's not normal, but you need to calm down first. I can't take care of you and find answers at the same time."That makes me calm down because he's right. I can't be another problem right now, I have to help."Okay, okay... what do you know?""Nothing. I was here with him when he arrived, while he was getting ready and before the fight began. Everything was perfectly normal

  • Alpha’s Hate And Redemption    What’s that

    Before I realize it, the day finally arrives. The day of the Alpha Challenge.Jae has been more focused than ever on his training, so we haven’t had any more time to explore our relationship, but I’m not worried because I know it’s necessary and important… maybe not as much as our bond, but close. Because this is not just about his position and his future. It’s the future of our family, a future where the pack will bear our name.When I arrive with Tate and my aunt and uncle at the arena, Jae’s family is already in the family booth, so I greet everyone and then I have to go through the worst anxiety ever again, just like five years ago, except this time it’s even worse because Klein is not just another True Alpha who came to Ellington to try to fight Jae. Now it’s personal.Klein is my ex-boyfriend and he wants revenge for being ‘humiliated’ at the last Alpha Challenge. I don’t know why, but I have a bad feeling about this. Or maybe it’s just worry because this time what I feel for J

    "And because you're mine to use whenever I feel like it,” I continue, sucking on his bottom lip and making him let out a low growl from his chest. "We can't do this here," he whines, trying to take a step back, but I don't care. I follow him, "Baby, I mean it. I can't fuck you here with my parents and my son downstairs.""Why not?" I ask, running a hand down his chest until I reach his hard dick. I grab it through his pants tightly and pull, making him moan, "I know you want it.""Of course I fucking want it," he grunts, thrusting his hips against my hand for just a second before ripping my grip off his erection and flipping me over until my back is to him. Jae takes my hands and in just a second crosses them across my chest until he has me completely unable to move...at least my upper body, "Damn it, Anya. You don’t change. Don't you ever think with something other than your clit? We can't do this here. You can wait until we get home.""I can't," I moan, wiggling my ass against him,

    When we all arrive at Vivian and Riku Kyung’s house together, I can see the surprise on both of their faces. I don’t think Jae told them I would be joining them for Sunday brunch.“Anya, darling, hi!” Vivian exclaims, coming over to give me a tight hug, which I return. I haven’t seen them since the news about our bond started circulating in the pack, so I’m not surprised when she holds onto me for longer than would seem normal, “I heard the news. About your bond… whatever decision you make regarding that, I want you to know that I am SO grateful to the Moon Goddess for choosing you as my son’s mate. You are such a wonderful girl, and I will never stop considering you part of my family.”I blink several times when my eyes start to sting, returning her hug with equal intensity.“Thank you for your words. I consider you part of my family too,” I let her know. When I let her go, Riku takes me into his arms.“There is no woman more perfect for my son. I hope he knows how to treat you as yo
