Blaire White

I opened my eyes to a dark, damp cell that reeked with the stench of blood and death. I blinked several times to be sure I wasn't having a nightmare, but the rusted bars stared back at me, and the only sound I could make out was of water dripping somewhere.

I tried to move my arm, only to realise it was chained to the wall, as were my feet. Looking down, my eyes widened in shock at my very pregnant belly. I began to hyperventilate, my heart beating out of control, when it finally dawned on me that it wasn't a dream after all. Maybe London had only been a good dream, my mind conjured up to keep me sane.

“H-hera,” my voice cracked as I tried reaching out to my wolf but received no answer.

I tried over and over again with no success, wailing over the feeling of emptiness that overcame me.

I shivered when I felt the temperature drop a few degrees lower, scrunching up my nose as the smell of decaying carcasses permeated the air. I gasped in horror when a hooded figure appeare

  • Betrayed by His Mate;Reborn as the Alpha    New Beginnings

    London I stared in pure boredom at the bunch of Alphas seated at the oval table in the board room on the left wing. As I watched them tearing at each other's throats about who was supposed to have more territory than the other, I seriously began to regret my decision of each Alpha of the Four Kingdoms being independent of his own affairs, a treaty I signed of not interfering unless in dire situations like a war. Reece and I exchanged a glance, and he shrugged before returning his attention to the arguing Alphas. It seemed I would have to step in and stop their pointless fights once again. “Gentlemen,” I called, trying to gain their attention, but when that didn't work, I banged a fist against the table, and that did the trick as they all stopped their bickering to give me full attention. “Now that I have all your attention, can we wrap this up? I have a pregnant wife that needs me.” I spoke through gritted teeth, my eyes twitching as they all fidgeted in their seats. “Thank y

    London I stared out the window as my fingers slowly worked to clasp the buttons of my crisp white dress shirt. I snapped my attention back to the present when I felt my mate's gentle touch glide over the wide expanse of my shoulder.I smiled, brushing my hair back and turning to face her smiling face. Eighteen years, and she didn't look a day older than twenty-five—the most beautiful woman I had ever laid eyes on.“Here, I'll help with your tie,” she murmured, starting the knot around my neck, and I could only stare down at her like a lovesick puppy. She looked even more beautiful today, if that were even possible. Her dark hair was curled to perfection, the black shimmering gown accentuated her curves, and the thigh-high slit revealed slender, long legs that I imagined putting over my shoulder while doing wicked things to her.I groaned at the thought, pulling her chin up so our eyes met. Even in those heels, she was still a midget compared to me.“We should just ditch the party and

    London Hale"Stop calling that slut your mate? Everyone knows how loose she is and how hard it is for her to keep her legs closed. Or maybe it's just you who aren't man enough for to satisfy all her desires. You can call me if you need some help." Bryce smirked and Ignored him.This wasn't the first time he said something like this, and this will definitely not be the last until I somehow prove to them how wrong they are to keep judging my mate.The condescending look in his eyes and the light scoff he gave off after his taunt had me balling my fists and gritting my teeth. He gazed at me boldly, not looking apologetic in the slightest, which pissed me off more.I despised his guts and confidence when he spoke his mind and brushed it off like he never said anything offensive. He was very good at hurting someone's feelings with that sharp tongue of his."I really don't know what you were thinking when you decided to accept the mate bond and mate her. Leah is a slut, my friend, and we all

    London HaleI was still rooted to the spot, a tsunami of negative emotions consuming me as I beheld my naked wife skillfully grinding on another man.Her hands were placed against the headboard as the Alpha's hands stayed secured around her waist. Her breasts bounced, and sweat stuck to her body.She abruptly stopped midway through her orgasm as my voice broke whatever sexual trace she was in.Leah's face mirrored shock and surprise, which soon turned to guilt and fear. She quickly climbed off the Alpha, picking up the sheets to wrap around herself.I dipped my eyes to the floor, feeling anger in the midst of the pain that had dulled, and squeezed my hands. Blood coursed through my veins at the sight of both their clothes scattered on the floor.I knew the scent was too familiar, but I couldn't really place my hands on who its owner was. Upon seeing my Alpha naked, my mystery was solved.Now I understand the main reason why he gifted me this house. He did it for her and himself.He rus

    London HaleIt's been hours since I've been sitting in a bar, drowning myself in bottle after bottle of whisky and vodka. I had hoped to drown my consciousness in reality or find solace in the bottom of the bottles of Alcohol.I hiccuped, staring at the phone, my vision blurry enough to not see who was calling.My phone has been going off since I left the house, and I had no intention of answering the calls or talking to anyone.A part of me was hoping it was Leah who kept calling and sending hundreds of text messages so that I could take her back and we could start all over.Stupid, I know, but I couldn't just stop loving her immediately."Sir, we're closing soon." The young man said this while serving me my last shot of whisky. I hummed in response and proceeded to slug it down my throat.Fuyu was worried about my heavy drinking as well, wandering about in my head and howling in an attempt to make me stop."You need to stop drinking; it's not good for our bodies."

    Blaire whiteI dashed down the flowery path, racing past the dancing trees. My heart was pounding heavily, and with a mix of determination and anxiety, I wouldn't be able to make it on time.Dear goddess. Help me this once.It was almost evening, and I couldn't afford to appear late for cleaning duties again this week like I did all through last week. Brena might have been lenient with me before, but that didn't mean I'd be interested in trying her patience.I knew how tough she could be when she's angry; trust me, you don't want to get on her bad side. It's ugly.The evening air carried a slight chill, but the adrenaline rushing through me kept me warm. I could feel my breath quickening, and I tried to steady it, reminding myself to stay focused. My mind raced through the tasks awaiting me at work and also the ones I hadn't done yesterday, mentally preparing for the responsibilities that lie ahead.I sighted the packhouse barely inches away and narrowed down the pathway, turning to m

    Blaire whiteI had no idea how long I had been sitting in the forest quietly, letting the tears roll down my cheeks. I sniffled, finally aware of how dark it was.I had thought Sinclair would come back and meet me after his meeting with the beta, but I guess the meeting was longer than we both anticipated.I needed to go home and probably find Brena and explain things to her. She oversaw the cleaners and reported any misbehavior to the Alpha, as she had been patient the whole time. I couldn't afford to get punished for slacking off on my duties.I began my lonely journey back, making up my mind to head over to Sinclair's after meeting with Brena instead of going home.The thought of going home sounded pointless, and I needed company tonight. What's the point of going home when the person who made it home is gone and now between the stars?I weakly smiled to myself at the thought of having Sinclair bathe and massage my aching bones tonight. He had the power to drive away my pain and wa

I heard a click resound in the room, and I knew there was no going back.My movements swayed as I tried to walk, but I was halted by shivers traveling down my spine at an unexpected touch. His hands claimed my waist, the tip of his nose trailing up and down my neck. Hot breaths fanned my neck, igniting goosebumps on my skin. I gasped, feeling shivers engulf my being.Hands strolled up my body, erupting heat from my anticipating body. His hands groped my breasts, squeezing them with hunger and need as his husky voice came."What's your name?"In my haze of lust and passion, I replied, "Blaire."He chuckled against my skin, earning a gasp from me. "Full name, love?""Blaire White." I whispered, eager for more.He hummed against my skin, a sound that made liquid pool impossibly more on my panties."What about yours?" I couldn't

    London:I sat in silence, leaning back against my swivel chair and staring into space for the last hour, lost in my thoughts. I was still reeling from Fuyu's shocking revelation that shook me to my very core. I was still in disbelief that I was capable of treating Blaire, the love of my life, poorly, as Fuyu had described. Even more ludicrous was his claim that this was our third chance at life. Why didn't I remember any of this if it was true?The way Fuyu's red eyes glowed in regret when he materialised in front of me, I knew none of it was made up. He had retreated to the farthest corner of my subconscious, leaving me to think about what he had revealed. How could I explain any of this to Blaire?A knock on the door snapped my attention back to the present, and I sighed, turning to face the door.“Come in,” I called reluctantly, picking up a random file on my desk to flip through, attempting to distract my wandering thoughts. Freya walked in, shutting the door behind her softly be

    Blaire WhiteThe way London swiftly snapped the rogue's neck sent a shiver down my spine. I had prepared myself for anything, but it was still concerning to watch him end a wolf's life as if it meant nothing, even though the rogue deserved it.More than anything, I was thankful to see that he wanted to try and do things differently. Even Hera couldn't stop talking about how Fuyu adored her; she had been giddy with excitement because he had been quiet the first day we recognised him as our mate.When he banished the traitor Eliza, I felt pride swell in my chest, but I could tell that the pack members were shocked by the outcome—like they had expected him to snap her neck or rip off her head, just as he had done with the rogue.Knowing London could do things differently if he wanted made me want to hold him forever and never let go, but I had to hold myself back and continue watching from the sidelines.There were two other prisoners left kneeling in front of the crowd.

    LondonI was seethingly mad when Reece's report replayed over and over again in my head. The thought that my pack's covert affairs had been compromised by one of my own left a pungent taste in my mouth.I knew I had to calm down and think rationally before I frightened my mate even more. I could hear her heart racing, and the need to soothe her overwhelmed my senses, helping to quell my anger, if only a little.Although I sensed Fuyu's rage, it was strange that he didn't fight for control to locate and eliminate the traitor. I pushed aside the thought and focused on Blaire, who sat rigidly on my lap, rubbing her arms nervously.Giving Reece an icy look, I spoke through the mind link, "Leave," and he bowed once before exiting, closing the door softly behind him.“My love,” I murmured, lifting Blaire effortlessly and placing her gently on my desk. I positioned myself between her thighs, pushing them apart. Placing my hands on either side of her, I leaned down so that we were at eye leve

    Blaire White After breakfast, London suggested we take a walk in the garden so that we could talk and get some fresh air at the same time. He walked silently beside me, his long legs matching my pace, and his elbow brushed against my shoulder, sending sparks down my spine.I inhaled the fresh air, infused with the scent of earth and the fragrance of blossoming flowers, and smiled when I heard birds chirping in the trees. It was like sweet music to my ears, and I felt at peace.“Blaire,” London called my name softly, and I snapped my attention back to him, tilting my head to meet his eyes briefly.“Why did you want to leave?” he asked, his face almost contorting in a pained expression as he waited for my answer. I was at a loss for words, opening my mouth and then shutting it when no words formed. I was ashamed to tell him the real reason I wanted to leave the minute I woke up in his arms, but I couldn't stand lying to him.“When I recognised you as my mate, I was scared because I tho

    Blaire White.Nimble fingers combing through my hair and massaging my scalp roused me from my deep slumber. I moaned in contentment as the feeling gently pulled me into sleep's gentle embrace. The musky scent of sandalwood invaded my senses as I slowly became painfully aware of the delicious soreness between my legs.Fluttering my eyes open, I was met with unfamiliar steel-grey eyes that strangely held warmth as he steadily held my gaze. I memorised the most minute details on his face: the curve of his light pink lips, the way his lashes fanned over his high cheekbones as he blinked slowly, the way his dark, wavy hair fell to his strong shoulders. My fingers itched to run through it, to confirm if they were as soft as they looked.His gaze was almost hypnotic, and I couldn't bring myself to look away. The longer I stared at the stranger I had unwittingly given myself to the previous night, the more I realised why he was gazing at me as though I were the most precious thing he'd ever h

    LONDONI collapsed to my knees, overwhelmed by an unfathomable pain that scrambled my thoughts and words. A roar tore through me as I gripped my head, attempting to ground myself but failing miserably."What have you done, Fuyu?" I gasped, choking on my own blood as it pooled in my mouth. Miller's voice echoed faintly in the background, but I was too far gone to make sense of it.“It was the only way,” Fuyu whispered from a distant corner of my subconscious.Another scream tore from my throat as I felt my bond with Fuyu being ripped away. He was a part of me, the other half of my soul, and Hayes was killing him, which meant he was killing me too. We couldn't survive without each other, not for long."When I die, Hayes dies with me.” Fuyu's voice sounded faint, his presence in my head slowly fading. At that point, I could no longer feel my physical body; I was consumed by the agony of losing my wolf and friend.Fuyu wasn't just my wolf; he was my lifeline, my constant companion since c
