Alpha's Second Choice

On a beautiful sunny day in Dark Slayer pack, as Jolene eagerly flipped through the next few pages of her novel, she could feel her adrenaline pumping harder. She was getting close to the climax; vampire novels always had this effect on her. Except they were banned and forbidden in the werewolf world, which gave her an even greater rush while reading them."Jo!" she heard someone call her. "Damn it," she thought to herself as she quickly dog-eared her current page and hurriedly placed it under the pillow. She was so close to reading the climax!Her door opened just as she stood up from her bed."Our alpha is going to have important guests soon, and we need to make all the necessary preparations!" exclaimed Polly, clapping her hands like a small child. Polly was Jolene’s roommate and was always excited about everything.Polly flipped her black hair away as she shook Jolene in excitement. "And you know the warriors are returning from their base today!"Jolene rolled her eyes. She knew Po

"What in Moon Goddess' name, is this true?" Lucy asked, covering her open mouth with her hands in shock."Yes, well that could be the only plausible explanation," Jo replied. "I try my best to cover my scent in all of my clothes and everything else. But when I handed you my spare clothes earlier, I forgot to hide the scent, and I didn’t know you were going to come out so fast to the kitchen." Jo rubbed her temples in an attempt to ease the throbbing headache."But if you really are Alpha Jayden's mate, why not just tell him? Even if we are all omegas, a mate bond is sacred and above all werewolf laws," Lucy chirped happily, her blue eyes shining bright for the first time Jo had ever seen. This made Jo smile weakly."Lucy, this is much more complicated than you think, and it's better if you don't know my circumstances in depth. All I am asking for right now is that you play along and pretend to be Alpha Jayden's mate. I will give you all of my scented clothes, and you can drag this act

'What an annoying guest!', Jo thought to herself as she walked back to the kitchen. Not only does he wander off in a foreign pack alone but also insulted her cooking skills. Royal guards and generals were bursting with ego and pride as always. It's a no-brainer that she hated them with a passion. Jo finally walked back into the kitchen and saw her frustrated friend running around barking orders. 'Polly, you need to slow down a little or else you are going to make all the omegas cry with your tone', Jo calmed her friend. Polly took a deep breath as she massaged her temples with her right hand, ''I have just been told that the royal visit has been extended for a week. They were only supposed to be staying one night and now this. I have to get all the rooms ready and assign more omegas. Its total chaos. I know you wanted Lucy to rest but I really need more hands on deck'. 'Alright fine. But as long as you assign Lucy with me, we should be fine', Jo replied to her friend who was watchi

''I am only joking, Miss Jo'', Dante voiced with a smirk playing on his handsome face. Jo was not convinced he was joking. He definitely knew something and could see past her tricks. She needed to go back to her room later and mask her scent more. Also, she had to give some to Lucy but still needed to cover the rest of her scent. This was getting riskier by the clock. Nothing was coming in between her future plans and her, she has been on the run forever and she was getting tired of it. Sometimes, she even had to sleep with one eye open because of the dangers that were always lurking in the dark for her. Jo would get through this as she always did. Now she even had a stronger reason to fight for, which was to get Lucy out of this hellhole. 'Ha-ha. Do all the werewolves from the royal kingdom have such an impeccable taste in humor because, if so, I would need to strike the royal kingdom off my places to visit'', Jo snickered her nasty comment to his amused face. She quickly clappe

Jo looked around as all the participants were getting riled up for the hunt. Big built commanders, warriors and officials were stretching and looked at ease with their chosen maidens by their side. Caleb chose Gina's sister, Evelyn. She was a shy she-wolf with the similar signature blonde hair except she was smart unlike her air head mother and big sister. Jo had spoken to Evelyn on some occasions before and she was impressed at how well articulate and kind she was compared to her family. Gina was still clinging on to Alpha Jayden and it seemed like she was going to be his chosen maiden for this hunt which was not a surprise. Gina was always by Jayden's side no matter where it was, Jo wondered if she was that desperate to be the next Luna of the Dark Slayer pack. Dante obviously was still holding Jo's hand tightly and she was getting more annoyed at this dark haired general who had the audacity to assume she was willing to be his partner. If she was not hiding in this pack, she would
