Alpha Gabriel POVDescending the stairs with Ravenna ahead of me, we took a turn after passing a few doors along the hall, we entered a large room revealing the dining area.The table was already set with a couple of dishes in the center. Two maids dressed in green dress with a blue apron over it and their hair tied into a bun were already at the dining area awaiting our arrival.As we approached the dining area, I paused behind a chair and pulled it out for Ravenna to sit."Thank you", she said with a smile on her face, gracefully taking her seat.I took the seat opposite her and placed my briefcase on the chair next to me, the maids quickly rushed to the table as soon as we were seated and began serving the food."Good morning Alpha, Good Morning Luna", they greeted in unison with their head slightly bowed.I nodded in acknowledgment while Ravenna ignored their greetings, they dished a plate of Stir-fried pasta along with grilled chicken for me and mashed potatoes with grilled steak

Selena PovAs the cab came to a stop in front of my home, I handed the driver the fare and stepped out of the car while he drove off. I reached for my bag to find the keys to unlock the gate of our home.I unlocked it and walked in towards the pathway leading to the entrance of the main door.I stepped into our living room, everywhere looking messed up, I decided to tidy everywhere before I freshened up. I kept my bag on the chair before proceeding to arrange it.I bent down and picked up a throw pillow, carefully arranging it back on the chair where it belonged. I moved towards the kitchen, relieved to find it clean.I made my way to my mom's room, I laid her bed and cleaned her bathroom making sure everything was neat before heading to my clean my room.Soon I was done with the house chores, I took off my clothes kept in the laundry basket and proceeded to the bathroom.I turned on the shower, I felt the cold water cascading down my body washing away the stress and soothing my nerve

Alpha Gabriel POVI reached for my phone that was beside me on the couch and dialed a number, it was one of my shadow guards.He answered on the first ring. "I need you to keep a close watch on Arnold", I commanded,my voice firm. " Monitor his every move." With those words, I ended the call.Arnold is my late father's elder brother. He has always harbored a deep grudge against my father for being chosen as the Alpha. His grudge further extended to me when I became the Alpha, he wanted his son to become the Alpha."Isn't that your uncle?", Asher asked, raising an eyebrow as surprise flickered across his face."Yes", I replied. "I don't trust him one bit, you know how cunning he can be. I need to be a step ahead of him."He nodded in agreement and focused his attention back on his phone. I rose from the couch and made my way back to my desk, resuming sorting the relevant files and responding to emails."You're not going home?"Asher asked, breaking the silence.I glanced at the time on m

Selena POVFinally, my mom is getting discharged today. I could see the excitement written over her face as she emerged from the bathroom already dressed in the dress I brought from home for her.Approaching the bed, she carefully placed the hospital gown on it. I could tell what was going on in her mind, she could hardly wait to leave the confines of the hospital."Ready, Mom?", I asked"More than ever", she replied, a beautiful smile lighting up her face.With my bag slung over my shoulder, I reached out and clasped her hand in mine as we both made our way out of the ward navigating our way towards the reception area. The doctor and nurses were all smiles as they saw us coming.I couldn't thank them enough for their exceptional care, friendly behavior, and most importantly their unwavering dedication to making sure my mom recovers quickly."Thank you so much doctor, I'm grateful", i said, expressing my heartfelt appreciation."You're welcome, I'm just doing my job", he replied, a ki

Selena POVThe piercing sound of the alarm jolted me out of my dreamland. I let out a groan, reluctantly opening my eyes. I looked at the time on my phone, it was 7 am already.In an instant, I jumped out of the bed. I have an interview scheduled for 9 am and I cannot afford to be late. I applied for the job online a few days back, it was the post of an office assistant.I took off my nightwear and wrapped a towel around me before entering the bathroom to freshen up. In a short while, I was done, and I got out of the bathroom feeling refreshed.I ruffle through my wardrobe, trying to figure out what to wear. I didn't have much corporate dress in my wardrobe; most were casual dresses.I spotted a plain black pant trouser tucked away at the far end of the wardrobe, I paired it with a light blue button-down shirt."This will do", I muttered to myselfI tied my hair into a neat low ponytail and applied a touch of makeup. I looked at myself in the mirror, satisfied with my appearance. A s

Selena POVAs I swung open the door to the main entrance and stepped into the living room, my eyes widened in excitement. My guess was right, there I saw my mom and Jojo engrossed in conversation. I was so happy to see her again after a long time.The room fell silent as they both paused their conversation and turned their heads towards me. Their faces instantly lit up with radiant smiles. I couldn't contain my excitement any longer."Jojo!" I exclaimed, my voice filled with elation. I rushed forward, closing the distance between us, and enveloped her in a tight embrace. It felt warm and familiar just like my mom's."Oh Selena, dear", she whispered, her hand gently caressing my back. Her touch carried a sense of comfort and love.Reluctantly, I broke the hug after a while, Jojo's eyes were filled with a mixture of joy and tears. Overwhelmed by her emotions, she cupped my cheeks in her hands and planted soft kisses all over my face.She was dressed in a beautiful floral gown that made

Alpha Gabriel Pov*At The Council Meeting*Asher and I made our way through the mansion to the council building, situated in a separate wing. The council meeting was held every weekend.The guards stationed at the entrance of the door, immediately opened the door upon seeing us, as we entered the room, my presence alone commanded attention. The council members, along with some Alphas from other packs who were in alliance with the Silvercrest pack, were already present.The Silvercrest pack has been in existence for over a century and is seen as the strongest pack to ever exist, which is why many Alphas sought alliances with us to safeguard their pack from rogue threats."Greetings Alpha", They greeted in unison, their head respectfully bowed.I walked to my seat which was positioned at the head of the table. The rest of the members took their seats once I was settled.The council leader rose from his seat shortly after everyone was seated with the agenda sheet in his hands as he bega

Selena POvI sat in the living room patiently waiting for my mom to finish getting ready in her room. Wait a minute, did I just say patiently? Of course not, I was anxiously waiting for her. I was practically tapping my foot in anticipation.The previous night, I received a text from the Beta, asking me to come check the space he had found for my bakery. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the message, just in the space of a week after I told him my decision to own a bakery shop, he had already found a spot for me.Glancing at the time on the phone, I realized that it was just a few minutes past 2 pm and the Beta had asked to be there by 3 pm. I could have gone alone but I decided my mom should come with me, I wanted her to share in this joyous moment with me.Wondering what my mom could still be doing in her room, I wouldn't want us to get there late or keep the Beta waiting."Mom! Please hurry up, we can't keep the Beta waiting", I called out, hoping she'd be ready soon."Just a m

Selena povMonths later…..I stood in front of the mirror in my room, gazing at my reflection staring back at me. My eyes widened as I took in the sight of my baby bump, now prominently rounded and swollen.I couldn't believe how much my body had changed in just a few months.The thin black line on my belly, once barely visible, now seemed to be staring back at me, a constant reminder of the tiny human growing inside me. My feet, once slender and delicate, were now swollen and aching, I've gained so much weight and above all the weird cravings. Like I could crave for the unimaginable.As I gazed at my reflection, I felt a sudden flutter in my abdomen. My baby was kicking again, and I couldn't help but smile. It was as if he was trying to communicate with me, to tell me something only I could understand.Did I just say He? I chuckled to myself, realizing I had just referred to my baby as "he". It still felt surreal, knowing I was having a boy.My mom's predictions had finally come to

Alphas Pov…I walked into my office, my assistant Matilda following closely behind, I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that lingered long since the previous day's event.I had questions running through my mind that needed answers and Asher was the only one who could provide them.I haven't seen Asher since the contest, we both came in our separate cars. As soon as I left the hall, I headed back to the office while he met with one of our clients.My mind kept wandering back to Selena, from what I can remember, she was a maid in my mansion, how did she end up being a baker with exceptional skill if I wasn't going to lie?I had never thought I'd see her in the contest, talk more of her emerging as the winner. But what baffled me was how she was able to achieve all this within a short period.The last time I saw her was when I had her thrown out of my company when she tried to extort money from me in the guise of helping her sick mother.How low could she stoop? I thought to mysel

Selena PovI headed back to the room where the four other contestants were, my heart heavy with frustration and anger. All I wanted to do was hand my baker's clothes back to the ladies at the front desk and leave this place.I couldn't bear the thought of facing the Alpha, let alone being in the same room with him for hours. As I entered the room, Brenda's eyes lit up with excitement."You're back! What took you so long?", she asked.I forced a smile, trying to brush off my emotions. "Nothing, just a running stomach, but I'm fine now", I lied.Brenda's eyes narrowed, her brows furrowed with worry. "Are you sure you're fine? Do you need me to call the doctor?", she asked, her voice soft with concern.I shook my head, reassuring her. "No, I don't. I'm fine", I said, trying to sound convincing."Alright, if you say so" she paused. "We'll be in a few minutes, it's almost time." She whispered.I nodded, my mind racing with thoughts of how to leave this place. There's no way I'm going in th

Selena POV"Mom, I'm done. I'm leaving already", I called out as soon as I was done with my breakfast and headed to the living room.Today was the day- the finale of the Baking contest! The contest is finally coming to an end. Geez I couldn't believe how far I'd come.It's been a rollercoaster sort of emotion for me, it hasn't been so easy but determination and the support of amazing people who believe in me made it all possible. Initially, I was so skeptical about the whole contest but look at me now among the top five finalists!I glanced at my watch, it was just a few minutes past 7 am, there's still time but I prefer leaving home and getting there early just in case, you never can predict the traffic.I turned to face the kitchen, wondering what my mom could still be doing in the kitchen. "Mom, I'm getting late," I called out again."I'm coming, give me a sec.", I heard her say from the kitchen. It didn't take long before she emerged with a glass of fresh milk. Ugh! How I hate fre

Selena POV….I heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, each step echoing through the silent shop. My heart raced with anticipation, my mind wondering who it could be and what they wanted.I stood frozen, my eyes fixed on the doorway, waiting to see who would appear.That's when I saw a feminine figure dressed in all black, with a face mask obscuring her features. My heart skipped a beat as I realized she was trying to destroy my shop.She was smashing display cases and overturning tables and chairs, her movements swift and deliberate.My first instinct was to protect my business, and I charged at her without thinking. But she was too strong, and in a quick reflex, she pushed me to the ground with ease.I hit my head against the wall as I fell flat on my stomach and I yelled out in pain. As I lay there, I could feel blood oozing out of my forehead, trickling down to my lips.The metallic taste of blood filled my mouth, and I felt a wave of dizziness wash over me. But it was what

Selena POVDays later….I can't believe it! I'm still screaming with excitement! Me, Selena, made it to the top five! It feels so surreal like a dream come true. The last few days have been a rollercoaster of emotions, challenges, and triumphs.But I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world and to think that I never had the intention of participating in this contest. All thanks to Asher and the girls for encouraging me to participate, I owe them this one.As we were given a two-day break before the grand finale, I decided to surprise the girls at the bakery. I hadn't set foot in the bakery since then the contest began, it's been from the contest to home and I missed the familiar sights and smells of my bakery.Although Scarlett has been giving constant feedback of the bakery-from the sales, the never-ending orders, and the number of batches of pastries they make per day ever since I got into the contest and to tell you what, it's been mind-blowing.As I pushed open the door, a warm

Selena pov…I stepped into the contest hall, where a handful of contestants were already mingling in small groups, their hushed conversations and nervous laughter filling the air.Since I wasn't acquainted with anyone, I kept to myself. The judges' table was empty, and the host was nowhere to be seen yet. I took a deep breath, my heart racing with anticipation.I had made it past the first round, but I knew the competition would only get tougher from here, who knows what today's task would be.Just as I pondered what today's challenge would be, the door swung open and Benard strode in, his infectious energy and charisma commanding our attention. The remaining contestants filed in behind him, making their way towards their respective baking stations.It didn't take long before the judges arrived and took their seats. As soon as it clocked 9 am, Bernard walked to the middle of the stage, his voice echoing through the hall, announcing the day's challenge."Welcome to another round of the

Selena's POVContest Day……I stood outside the venue of the contest. It was being held in one of the grand ballrooms of the luxurious five-star hotel. Evelyn wasn't exaggerating when she called it the biggest contest ever, the lavish setting is screaming luxury.My heart racing fast like a mixer on high speed. Today was the first day of the baking contest I had been anticipating for days.And I was finally here, about to face the judges, the viewers and my fellow contestants.I was so nervous, my palms were already sweating, and my mind was a jumble of recipes, techniques, and what-ifs. I didn't know what to expect or what the outcome would be. What if I don't make it past the first day?My mind was a whirlwind of different thoughts, imagining different scenarios in my head of me being evicted on the first day. Or should I just back off?"Don't you dare think of backing off! You're here already Selena. And how many times do I have to tell you to stop being pessimistic", Ember's voice
Alpha’s Mate (Is This My Fate?) Chapter Twenty- Seven
Selena povThe anticipation had kept me awake all night, my mind buzzing with excitement. I arrived at the shop early the next day. I had lost count of the number of times I read the email just to be sure it wasn't an illusion.I wasn't able to get through to Asher throughout yesterday, I called him but he didn't pick up, perhaps he was busy. I decided to call him later today.Entering the shop, I spotted Norah setting up the display area, completely engrossed in what she was doing, unaware of my presence. A mischievous idea crept into my mind, and I couldn't resist the urge to give her a playful scare to get her reaction.With a suppressed giggle, I stealthily approached her, intending to catch her off guard making sure she didn't notice my presence. Just as I was about to execute my plan, she suddenly turned around, letting out a surprise yelp at the sight of me."Geez, Selena you scared me", she said, patting her chest gently."Really, sorry Norah, didn't mean to startle you", I ch
