Mikhail

The door to the office opens after a soft knock on the door, and I immediately recognize the scent of my Beta, Alexei. Lifting my head, I look at the blurred figure of his frame.

"Alpha," he says, his tone serious. "We've received an invitation."

"Invitation?" I raise an eyebrow.

It is strange because nobody wants to invite me into their territory because of my reputation. 

"Yes, for the Full Moon Ball at Redwood Pack." He places an envelope on my desk and pushes in my direction until it touches my fingertips. "It's from Alpha Gregor."

"What does he want from us this time?" I reach out and run my fingers over the envelope, feeling the embossed seal of the Redwood Pack. Gregor.

Alexei takes a seat in front of my desk before he speaks.

"From what I have gathered, he's inviting all the prominent packs. Probably to form alliances as there has been a rise in rogue attacks."

"Do you plan to attend, Alpha?" Alexei asks.

The idea of mingling with other Alphas doesn't appeal to me, but there is something about the Redwood pack that is intriguing, and even my wolf seems to agree with me.

"Yes," I finally say. "We will attend."

"Very well, I'll make the necessary arrangements." Alexei says, and after a moment, he adds, "Maybe this year you will find your mate."

"I already have Layla, and I don't need anyone else." Shaking my head, I interlock my fingers and place my hands on the table, "She is what I want."

"Mikhail, the true mate bond is irreplaceable." Running his fingers through his hair, he sighs, "No one takes her place in your life. You may feel Layla is good for you, but it is your true mate who has been created for you... she will be the someone who you need."

Alexei is not only my beta but also my friend. We have been together for as long as we can remember. He has been my only friend and someone whom I trust. We have seen so much together in our lives that there are hardly any secrets between us. 

"I don't need anyone. I already have everything that I want: my pack, my people, and a she-wolf who will become the Luna of this pack and bear my pups. Soon after the Full Moon Ball, I will make an announcement about accepting Layla as the Luna."

"End of discussion." My voice comes out stern, with no room for further discussion when I feel he is about to say something.

"Very well, Alpha." I sense him bowing before he leaves the room.

I mindlink Layla to come inside my study.

Not even five minutes have passed when she walks inside the room.

"Alpha, what can I do for you?" I hear a smile in her voice. "Isn't it a bit too early to be frisky?" She teases as she settles down in the seat where Alexei has been sitting earlier.

After Alexei, Layla has been the one who has been with me for years. Alexei and Layla are two people who have been with me before I took over the Alpha position. In a way we have formed our own bond, but for some reason Alexei never liked Layla and has just been cordial with her because of me. 

Layla is a strong and fertile shewolf in her prime with an Alpha and Beta blood. She is loyal to me and understands my need, and for me she is perfect to be my mate and to bear my offsprings.

My wolf lowly growls even though he agrees with me, but I know a part of him will never accept her because he is tuned to accept his true mate.

That's why I need to complete my mating bond with Layla before my so-called true mate appears before me if she exists. Because once it happens then my wolf will not accept any other shewolf as his mate other than her, and if I reject her before completing the mating bond then he will go insane. 

"I am going to Redwood pack for the Full Moon Ball, I will be gone for four days, and in my absence I will leave you in-charge of the pack." Leaning back in my chair, I stare in her direction, even though I can't see properly but if I focus too hard I make out the outlines, "Alexei will be accompanying me so the pack will be your responsiblity."

"Isn't that your Luna's responsibility?" She laughs lightly.

"It is; that's why I am giving it to you." A smirk form on my lips, "After I return from the ball, I will announce you as my Luna and seal the mating bond with you."

"Mikhail." She walks around and sits on knees infront of me and keeps her hands on my knees, "I promise, I will never let you or this pack down. I will be the Luna that this pack deserves and I will be the mate that you want."

"I know that's why I have chose you." I run my hand through her hair, my actions similar to petting an animal, "You are aware of the consequences if you fail me, right?" Harshly grabbing her hair, I yank her head back.

I can feel her nodding her slightly while I smell her fear.

She knows I don't forgive mistakes and even she will not be spare of the consequences if she fails to fulfill her responsiblity.

"Good girl." Releasing my grip, I smooth her hair.

"Prepare the pack for my absence. Ensure everything runs smoothly, and if there are any issues, you know how to reach me."

"Of course, Alpha." Her voice trembles slightly, but she is quick to find her composure.

As she leaves, I feel a sense of satisfaction. My plans are falling into place, and soon, everything will be as it should be.

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 46

    AuroraJake tells me to go take a shower while they clean up. His tone is firm but kind, the kind that doesn’t really invite an argument. Of course, I argue anyway.“I can help,” I say, grabbing a towel to wipe the counter.Caleb snorts, already stacking bowls in the sink. “It’s not a big deal. We’re used to it. Jake’s been putting us on cleanup duty since… forever.”The way he says cleanup carries some private history, like it’s code for something else. Lucas catches the hint and laughs, reaching over to high-five Caleb. Jake just shakes his head, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, the kind of smile he probably tries to hide so people still think he’s the responsible one.I stand there for a second, watching them, this easy rhythm they have, the unspoken familiarity of people who’ve lived through too many mornings like this. They move around each other without bumping into anything. Jake starts sweeping the floor; Caleb brings a bucket of water with a mop and begins moppin

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 45

    AuroraAfter breakfast, Lucas leaves to help Jake with something. He doesn't tell me what it is, but I can guess it's related to their community... or something like that.Mikhail is the Alpha, Sophia is the Luna. Leaders.Mikhail and Sophia have their own pack, their own people. But Lucas, Jake, Caleb, and some others... they're different. They live together, fight together, protect each other without any obligation, but they don't belong to any pack. He called them packless.Apparently, Jake is the one everyone looks to, the sort of leader of packless without a title. The guy who never asked to be in charge but somehow always ends up that way. Lucas talked about him with this quiet kind of respect and love. The kind that doesn't need words to exist.All of this, Alphas, Lunas, packless wolves, still feels unreal. I'm trying to keep an open mind. If someone had told me any of this a few months ago, I'd have laughed. I would've thought they were crazy. Wolves living in human form? Loya

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 44

    AuroraI don’t remember ever sleeping this well. Not as a kid, not even on the night when I was so tired that I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.The first thing I register is the familiar scent of him, still lingers on my skin. It wraps around me, and I stay still for a while, just basking in the quietness of the morning. There’s sunlight pooling across the sheets, soft and golden, catching dust particles that float lazily in the air. Everything feels so alive in this quiet. So normal.Maybe that’s what throws me off the most. Normal has never been something I understood. I’ve spent my whole life in a house where even the silence was watched, where freedom came with terms and breakfast came with rules. A place that looked like a home from the outside but functioned more like a gilded cage. And yet, lying here, in Lucas’s bed, I feel safer than I ever did behind locked gates and guards.Maybe feeling safe isn’t about walls or cameras or people who promise to protect you.

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 43

    Lucas The first thing I notice is the warmth. Soft, golden, lazy warmth seeping through the curtains, brushing against my skin, coaxing me out of sleep. For a second, I let it hold me there, suspended in that quiet space between dreaming and waking, because it feels foreign. Unreal. I don’t sleep like this. I don’t sleep deep. My mind doesn’t allow it. Even when my eyes are closed, part of me stays awake. Watching. Listening. My senses never turn off. Every breath, every shift in the air, every faint sound, it all filters through, keeping me alert. It’s not something I can control. It’s survival. But last night… something changed. I slept. Not the restless, half-conscious kind. This was real. Deep, unbroken sleep. The kind where your body sinks and your mind goes quiet. And when I wake up now, blinking into the sunlight spilling through the half-drawn curtains, there’s stillness in my chest. A kind of peace I don’t remember ever feeling before. And then I feel it, why my arm i

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 42

    AuroraI always pay attention to you.That single line makes everything inside me go still. Like the world just paused to see if I’d finally heard something I’d been waiting for my whole life.All my life... all my life, for as long as I can remember, I’ve just wanted to disappear from the world’s eyes. I hate attention. To stop being the thing people looked at, judged, compared, or corrected. The only attention I ever wanted was from my dad. Even then, it never came the way I hoped it would. He noticed the wrong things, the mess I left on the counter, the noise I made when I laughed too loud, the way I never seemed to do enough.But when Lucas says he notices me, that he pays attention to me… it’s like something inside me rearranges itself. The neglect, the criticism, the feeling of being unseen, they all fall quiet.He picks up the first aid box and sets it on the table beside the bed. His movements are careful, quiet. There’s a kind of patience in him, one that doesn’t come natura

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 41

    AuroraLucas is a werewolf. A real werewolf.Even after seeing it with my own eyes, it feels too big for my brain to wrap around. My thoughts keep looping, trying to find logic in something that doesn’t need logic at all. I saw him shift. I saw his wolf. I saw him turn back, skin rippling like light bending through water, bones reshaping under moonlight. And somehow, he’s just… Lucas again.It’s so so cool.Better than any fictional story I’ve read. Better than all my book boyfriends combined. Every supernatural novel I’ve ever devoured suddenly feels like a watered-down version of what’s mine.He told me everyone here is a werewolf, except Anastasia. Even little Rose and Reid. When he said that, I felt this quick spark of anxiety in my chest. What if I somewhat let them down because I am not like them?Lucas had sensed it before I even said anything. He always does. He brushed his thumb along my wrist, soft and easy, and told me they already love me. That all my doubts are for noth
