"I know there's still a long way to go before you forgive me, but I'm willing to go through it," I let him know, daring to hold his little hand in mine. He gives me a cold look, "I love you, Tate. And... I love your mom, too. A lot. I'll do everything possible to get her to forgive me too, and then… maybe… I can make us all be together."

That’s a BIG maybe.

Tate furrows his brow and looks at me as if he's considering that, but he doesn't say anything for a long time.

"Would you like that?" I push, squeezing his hand, "Us, being a family?"

"I don't know yet. I wouldn't want to put my mom in danger," he murmurs, looking away from me again. I take a deep breath to try to hide how much that hurt, to know he thinks Anya is in danger with me… just like everyone did when we were together, "Drive me home, Jae. I need to think about my answer."

"Okay," I murmur with a sigh and start the car to take him to Anya's house. As soon as my car stops, the door opens and Anya comes out of the house as

  • Alpha’s Hate And Redemption    Helping Voice

    Throughout the week Jae stays away from us and, very stupidly, I feel a bit disappointed by the radio silence, but I continue with my life. I go to the hospital in the morning, do my volunteer work, pick up Tate from school, cook for us, and then I spend the rest of the afternoon with my baby, doing his homework, visiting our family, or just doing nothing. It's a good life… so, I don't need any man, just my son, my uncle and my best friend, Remy. They are all I need.I'm thinking about this when my phone starts ringing and I see Jae's name there. My heart does somersaults, and I freeze with nerves for a few seconds before clearing my throat and answering.It takes everything within me not to ask him why the hell he hadn't called me all week, but then I remind myself that I was the one who told him we should keep our distance, so I can't complain."Hello, An," he says with that sweet voice he uses with me ever since he found out I'm his fated mate. I close my eyes, and since I'm all al

    "Mom? Are you okay?" Tate asks, snapping me out of my thoughts so harshly I gasp."Huh?""You're not eating," he says, pointing at my full plate of breakfast, "You need to eat.""Oh, right. I was just thinking," I mumble and grab my fork to force some eggs down my throat under Tate's eyes. They don't leave me."More," he orders, making me laugh a little. I always find it funny when he forgets HE is the kid here, not me, "The fruit, too.""Fine, I'm eating. Jeez," I laugh. He already ate everything on his plate, so he really just watches over me for another five minutes, making sure I finish everything. Sometimes I get really scared about the future. If he's so intimidating now, I can't even imagine how he's going to be when he grows up. It really helps that he has a pretty face, but if he were ugly, he would be called a demon child. I swear he has some dark demon-lord soul or something.But, like I said, he's really damn cute. And he's not scary all the time, he's also very innocent

  • Alpha’s Hate And Redemption    Just One

    Just three minutes later, Anya starts walking down the stairs. She's wearing a short skirt and a long-sleeved blouse with her long hair straighter than usual, flying over her shoulders, down to her waist. "Sorry if I made you wait too long... I'm ready," she says, reaching the bottom of the stairs and finally looking up at me. Her face takes all the air out of me and I feel weak for a second, "Hi.""Hey, An," I let out, doing my best to behave and not let on that I'm remembering every dirty sound that came out of those red lips last night, when I made her come for me on the phone. Holy hell, it was so damn delicious and satisfying to her her whiny, horny voice once again. The only thing that would have made it better would’ve been if I could see her and not just hear her, although… in a way, it was pretty delicious like that, too. A new experience for me, too. I’d never had phone sex before.Anyway, I just want to take her in my arms and make her moan my name just like she did last

    I know Anya wants this kiss as much as me because her eyes drop to my lips and her pink tongue comes out to lick her bottom lip, making me feel as if a hot liquid is running down my stomach. This woman makes me feel so many things I didn't think were possible. And the truth is that I really just want an innocent kiss.That's all I want right now. Just to put my lips on hers and breathe her in close, feel her warmth and feel her close to me."Just one," she finally agrees, lifting her face a little more towards me. The old me would grab her by the hair, devour her mouth forcefully and take advantage of the power I have over her. And the knowledge I have on her. I would touch her, try to get her horny side to come out. I would put my hand down her panties to find her clit and I know she would be done for. She would let me have her right here, my horny little Anya.But the new me is aware that our son is outside, waiting for us. Plus, I really want to show Anya that I have the ability

    { Jae }Something tells me I already know what I'm going to find as soon as I enter Anya's house. And, sure enough, I find Klein in there, sitting in the living room as if he owns the fucking place."What the fuck are you doing here?" He demands as soon as he sees me, making my blood boil. All my instincts are awake and I clench my fists trying to contain my wolf, but it's almost impossible because I can't stop thinking that this son of a bitch was waiting for my mate in here.She was going to come in all alone. He could have done anything to her."The question is, what the hell are you doing here, you idiot? Anya kicked you to the curb, that's where you should have stayed," I spit at him. Klein looks at me with even more hatred than I expected as he gets up from the couch to approach me slowly. It's obvious that his wolf presence is out right now, just like mine.Today more than ever, I have to control myself and not let my emotions out. I can't fight this idiot before the Alpha Cha

    { Anya }Logically, I know that Jae could simply put security guards outside my house and keep me safe that way. But I understand what he's saying about having a biological need to personally take care of me because I feel a biological need too, to stay here with both my mate and our son. Safe, in our home... even though this is definitely not my home. Somehow, it doesn't bother me.I actually want to stay here, against all logic. This time I’m choosing to listen to my instincts. I will not put myself or my son at risk just because of old resentment. "Alright," I finally say, "We'll stay here."Jae smiles at me like he never has before, like a little boy. His cheeks almost look chubby, like Tate's. He looks very cute smiling like this.Dangerously cute. Because he’s a literal wolf in sheep’s clothing and I can’t forget that."I'll take you to pick up some suitcases tomorrow. And..." he pauses for a second, looking away, "I'll make dinner every day. And I'll pick up Tate every day."

    {Jae}This is going way better than I thought. Like, a hundred times better. I think I could take advantage of this moment of this to worm my way into her heart again... okay, maybe I should rephrase that without sounding so much like an asshole.I think I can use this second chance she’s giving me to show her I'm worthy of love. Yeah, that's better."So, Anya," I start and I dare to move closer, “Have you thought about…”"I'm hungry," says a small voice from behind us, making us both jump at the same time because we didn’t hear him coming, "It’s dinner time, right?""It is dinner time," I mutter and take a deep breath before moving away from Anya again. Maybe it's good to have a distraction. I shouldn’t put all my cards on the table so quickly. She agreed to live with me for two weeks, I guess I can wait a little more before I strike, "Come on, Anya. I'll show you my cooking skills.""Really? Does your dad cook for you?" Anya asks Tate with a completely incredulous face as we walk t

    "It's about time you and I get to know each other, don't you think?" she asks. Her voice sounds raspier and sultrier than normal and her scent is heavier. It’s thicker, like cherries and cream. I move to my left and turn on the lamp so I can make sure she's real before she disintegrates in front of my eyes, "Hey.”"Hey," I say. My voice comes out shaky as fuck and I feel nervous under her intense gaze. This is weird, she feels very... powerful. She feels very alpha, actually, which is hot as hell, but extremely nerve wracking, "I've been wanting to meet you, honey. So bad. Since the moment I recognized our bond.”"Me too. She can't stop me now," she whispers and smiles in a naughty way that has me leaning into her, licking my lips with hunger. She's making me feel fucking ravenous in every way possible. But I don't let myself move at all. I can't. She has to be the one to make the first move, that way she won’t be able to complain later."Uhm… you want to sleep with me?" I ask, like

  • 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

  • Alpha’s Hate And Redemption    Bad Feeling

    { 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
