Adam

I'm in my wolf form, crouched low to the ground, watching her through narrowed slits. She's terrified but determined to fight. Her breathing becomes erratic, making it difficult to track her movements.

She kicks wildly, striking me repeatedly. I could rip her limb from limb easily, but something about her defiance intrigues me. Something that tells me she may be worth keeping alive.

I shift slightly, moving closer to her so that I can smell her fear. My nose twitches as I catch a hint of her blood as she scratched herself.

Her eyes are wild as they dart everywhere, looking for some kind of salvation. I lift one large black paw, placing it gently on hers. Immediately, she freezes. A smile creeps across my muzzle as I begin to rub it along the length of her arm. She makes me furious, yet her scent invokes such powerful feelings within me. I want to kill her just as much as I crave to protect her.

I lick my lips and inhale deeply. Her sweet scent overwhelms me, driving my wolf crazy

    Alyssa "I mean it, Adam... get the fuck out of my room," I yell at him angrily. I slam my hand against the wall beside my bed, causing plaster dust to fall everywhere. He stands there frozen for a moment before moving toward me. "Are you sure about this? How about I show you some fun?" He reaches forward and grabs me by the waist. His hands slide up my stomach and cup my breasts roughly. "What the hell are you doing?" I gasp, trying to pull away. "You don't know what you're missing," he mocks. "Adam, please..." His mouth crashes over mine and our tongues clash together. Our teeth scrape against each other when we kiss. It feels wrong yet exciting at the same time. "Get out or I'll scream for help," I warn him. He smirks. "Fine... have it your way." He steps backward and leaves the room without another word. I sit on my bed, staring after him in shock. What just happened? Was that even real? I thought I was dreaming. This guy is insane. And now he thinks I'm interested in havin

    Adam "Alpha, I need a word with you," I tell my father while having breakfast in the dining room. "I know it's early, but I would like to speak to you about something." "Of course. Please, take a seat. What is it?" he replies, motioning for me to sit as he places a plate of eggs and bacon in front of me. "It's Alyssa, sir. There's something I think we need to discuss," I reply, taking a bite of egg and chewing slowly as I wait for him to say something. He eats his food in silence, glancing up at me every few moments. "We've already had this conversation, son," he says, placing a hand on my shoulder. "You don't need to worry about her anymore. She's safe here in our pack." "She's not one of us, dad." I lean forward, lowering my voice. "She doesn't have a wolf and I don't know how you still keep her here." "As I told you before, she is a guest, and guests are welcome here. We cannot afford to turn away anyone in need. Besides, our pack is large enough now that it's unlikely she wou

    Alyssa"Hey, love! It's your free day. Got any plans?" Alice asks, throwing herself into a chair opposite me."Nope. Just chilling out today." I shrug, staring blankly at the television screen in front of me."That's boring!" she laughs. "Come on, we're going shopping.""What for?" I raise an eyebrow questioningly."Clothes obviously," she grins. "And shoes, bags, makeup... But before that, we're going for a cup of coffee at Marta's.""Marta's?""Yes," she giggles. "The best damn café in town.""Yeah, okay..." I roll my eyes playfully, getting up to follow her."Don't worry, it'll do you good to get out and have fun. I mean with everything going on lately, you should definitely deserve a break.""I guess so," I sigh, following her down the hall towards the exit. I think she's right. I deserve a break from everything. And if having a nice hot latte will help, then why the hell not? I sit back in the passenger seat of Alice's car when she pulls into the parking lot of Marta's Café."Thi

    Adam How dare he disobey my father, the Alpha? Lucas was always such a disrespectful brat. Always pushing people's buttons just to make himself feel better. My father had warned me many times before never to cross paths with him. Yet, every time I turned around, there he stood challenging me. I'm the next Alpha, and I'll soon become the most powerful Alpha ever seen in these parts. I'm the best fighter, fastest runner, and strongest warrior among my peers—and he knows it too well. His arrogance got him kicked out of the pack once already, yet somehow, he managed to find his way back again. He knew how much trouble he'd cause if he challenged me, but he couldn't resist. It was obvious he wanted nothing more than to bring me down because deep inside, he believed I could never beat him. Well, I did. I proved to him that I am worthy of being Alpha. Not only does he have to deal with my wrath, but also my father's. "Who do you think you are, Lucas?" I ask coldly, glaring at him. "Me? Wha

    Alyssa Tears stream down my cheeks as I sit on the bed in my bedroom staring blankly at the wall. I've never felt so humiliated as I felt at the cafe earlier tonight. Everyone looked at me like I was trash. The whole town knows about what Lucas said to me. And no one came to my defense. Except for Adam. Only because he was protecting his father. How pathetic am I? I can't believe how stupid I've become. I wanted to get away from all my problems and start fresh somewhere new, yet here I am. Just another loser in a small town where everybody knows each other. Why did Lucas push me into this situation? Why did he have to act like such an asshole toward me? Now everyone knows I don't have my wolf, and I'm nothing more than a freak. All those years ago, I begged my parents to let me leave. To run far away and forget them forever. Yet here I am again stuck in a place full of people who hate me. "Alyssa, are you in here, dear?" Luna Brynne asks from outside my door. "Are you feeling alrigh

    Alyssa"Get the hell away from me," I shout at Adam, pushing him away violently.He laughs wickedly, grabbing my wrist. "Don't be stupid! Just because I wanted to play doesn't mean I have feelings for you." He pulls me toward him roughly and wraps his arm around my waist. "Come on, we could go somewhere private and finish what we started.""You're insane," I reply.He chuckles, running his fingers through my hair. "Well, maybe I should show you exactly why.""I'm leaving this fucking pack right now," I growl, tugging my wrist out of his grasp."That's fine by me," he replies, stepping close to me and putting his hands on my shoulders. He looks into my eyes intensely before leaning down and brushing his lips against mine.I try to pull back, but he holds onto my face and keeps kissing me passionately while grinding his hips against me. The sensation causes an intense burning heat between my legs, and I start to panic. I break our kiss and turn to run, but he catches hold of my hand."W

    Chapter 14AdamI arrive just in time. I hear Alyssa's cries as Lucas is about to rip her to shreds. I shift to my wolf form and attack Lucas with all that power inside of me. I jump on his back right the second he charges for Alyssa. He tries to shake me off but I hold tight and bite down hard on his neck. My teeth sink into his flesh and blood gushes out.He yelps in pain and tries to bite me but I'm too powerful for him. I tear into his neck and rip out his throat with my teeth, forcing him to let go. I watch as his blood pours out of the wounds I inflicted on him. I look at Alyssa and see she is unhurt. I turn my attention back to Lucas and see he's bleeding out from the wounds on his back. His eyes are wide open staring straight ahead like a deer caught in headlights until they close forever. The life drains out of them before it leaves his body.I look down at Alyssa who looks up at me with fear in her eyes. She runs over to me and wraps herself around me, burying her face again

    AlyssaAdam leaves after his father calls for the third time. It must be important. I can tell by the tone of his father's voice. Euphoria passes and I'm left alone with my thoughts again. I lie there thinking about everything we just shared. Why did he do that? What was that look in his eyes? Was it lust or something else? I am angry with myself for allowing this to happen. How could I let my guard down like that? This isn't normal. We aren't even friends.I sit up in bed not wanting to dwell any longer. I stand up and walk toward the bathroom, grabbing some toilet paper to clean myself off. I take a shower washing away the evidence of our lovemaking. I dry my hair and dress quickly getting ready for bed. Tomorrow is going to be a long day.After putting on pyjamas, I crawl underneath the covers hoping to fall asleep. However, my mind won't shut itself off. I toss and turn unable to find peace. I stare up at the ceiling wondering what tomorrow holds. Now everyone knows I don't have m

Blood spatters the leaves, the coppery scent of it thick and cloying in the air.I know I should do something, should throw myself between them and put an end to this madness before one of them winds up dead.

    Adam I bolt awake, heart pounding. Alyssa's screams and Sophia's cries echo in my head. I swipe a hand across my damp forehead, breathing hard. Just a nightmare. But it felt so real. My wolf strains against its cage, howling to go to them. I know they need me. I stumble out of the nest into the cool night air. The stars shine down, distant and uncaring. How did I let this happen? I promised to protect them, to keep them safe. But I left them alone, at the mercy of the threat I should've ended. Alyssa. Her fear reached out in my dreams, begging for help. But I'm too late. My rival won; he has her trapped, waiting to finish this. I abandoned her to that fate. I abandoned my heart. And Sophia. My little light, my joy. She cries for her mother, afraid and alone. What's going to happen to her if I don't do something? I have to go back. Now, before all hope is lost and the future is decided. Before the light goes out for good. My wolf snarls again, straining to break free. To hell with

"I follow my duty to your pack, but my heart belongs to another. I cannot be your mate, Duran."He moves closer, crowding me against the rock face. "You forget your place, little healer. I am Alpha here, and I will not be denied what I desire."The darkness radiating from him overwhelms my senses. My gift shrieks a warning of the evil now awakened and poised to descend. I have pushed him too far.Duran grabs my chin, forcing me to look at him. "You will come to care for me in time. I can be patient when I wish. But do not forget who rules this pack, and what I want, I shall have."His fingers leave bruises on my skin. I wrench away, stumbling down the path. His bellow follows, "You cannot escape me forever, Alyssa! I will make you mine!"I run as if the hounds of hell snap at my heels throu

    AdamThe forest blurs around me as I race between the trees, my paws pounding the earth. My heart thunders in my chest, refusing to accept what my senses tell me - they are gone. Vanished like the morning mist under the glare of the rising sun. I stop, throwing back my head to howl in rage and grief, the sorrowful sound echoing through the empty woods.I continue searching. Exhaustion drags at my limbs, but still, I hunt for any sign to cling to hope. Their scent has disappeared, erased as though they were never here. I stumble on through the black of night, guided only by the light of the moon overhead.Finally, I return home as the pale glow of dawn brightens the sky. The pack emerges from their dens, wary of my approach. I shift back, standing before them with my shoulders bowed under the weight of failure. Murmurs rise around me as they take in my disheveled, haggard appearance. Their Alpha, broken and aimless without his mate and child. Helpless to protect them. Useless to lead a

    Alyssa Duran's invitation for dinner fills me with anxiety. As the Alpha, I can't say no, but his feelings for me create expectations I can't meet. The day passes too quickly. When night falls, I go to Duran's cabin, bracing myself for the evening to come. Duran greets me with a warm smile. "Welcome. I'm glad you could come." "Thank you for inviting me, Alpha." The proper response, hiding my inner turmoil. Duran's eyes gleam as he shows me inside, and my pulse jumps. The table is covered with a delicious spread. I take small bites, my appetite ruined by the unspoken question hanging between us. Duran watches me over his wine glass, patient but unwavering in his silent demand. "Your healing skills are invaluable. My pack has benefited greatly since you joined us. I feel...very fortunate you found shelter here after your mate's death." A calculated mention, trying to get a reaction. I chew slowly, my mind racing, before offering a tight smile. "You are too kind to help us in our ti

    Alyssa The forest blurs around me as I run, clutching Sophia's hand tightly in mine. My legs burn but I don't slow. We have to get away. Far away. Sophia's steps falter. "Mama, wait, please. I can't run anymore." I stop and kneel before her, brushing leaves from her hair. "I know, sweetheart. I'm sorry. Just a little farther, OK?" Sophia nods bravely but when I stand, her ankle gives out beneath her. She cries out as she tumbles to the ground. "Sophia!" My heart drops as I scoop her into my arms. She whimpers, tears streaming down her face as she holds her ankle. No, not now. We have to keep going. I carry Sophia over to a large oak tree and set her down in the roots. "Let me see." Gently, I remove her shoe and sock. Her ankle is already swollen, the delicate joint red and puffy. No doubt it's sprained. Sophia sniffles. "It hurts, Mama." "I know, baby." I stroke her hair and kiss her forehead, panic rising in my chest. We're exposed here. Vulnerable. "Let me wrap it. We'll get

    AlyssaThe wolf prowling towards me is a stranger. Adam's eyes, once glowing with warmth and laughter, now burn with rage and suspicion. His hackles rise and a sinister growl rumbles in his chest as he backs me into a corner, teeth bared."How long have you been plotting against me?" he snarls. Gone is the mate I love, replaced by this menacing beast I do not know."Adam, it's me," I plead, keeping my tone soft and submissive. But my words do not reach him. The Adam I knew is trapped behind those hate-filled eyes."Lies!" He snaps at me, his muzzle a breath from my throat. "I should have known you could never be trusted. You're in league with our enemies, aren't you?"Confusion and pain flood me. "I would never betray you! I am your mate. Don't you know me?""I know what you are." Adam's lips curl back further, slaver dripping from his fangs. "And you will never set foot in my territory again."He lunges. I brace myself, ready to fight the creature wearing my mate's flesh.
