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 7
JuneWe are halfway to breakfast when the whistle cuts through the morning air.My steps slow with everyone else’s. The sound echoes off the buildings, off the trees, off whatever part of me is still caught on the memory of bare skin and warmth and a hand where it should not have been. That stranger’s presence lingers in my head like a thumb pressed to a bruise. I can almost feel it again, that heat, that pull.I shove it aside.Everyone slows, confused murmurs rippling through the group. The sun is barely up, the sky pale and soft, the kind of morning that feels like it could be kind if given the chance. My stomach reminds me that I went to bed hungry, but that is nothing new. Hunger is familiar. Orders shouted across a yard are not.“Outside. Now.”Alexei stands near the open space beside the building, arms crossed, posture relaxed like this is exactly where he wants to be. People shuffle toward him, some yawning, some already annoyed. I step into the line with the others and lift m
Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate Chapter 6
June I wake up before the world does. There is no sound outside my room. No footsteps. No voices. Not even the soft hum of movement that usually lives inside buildings full of people. Just quiet and the faint awareness of my own body reminding me that I pushed it too far. I groan and roll onto my back, staring up at the ceiling. Everything hurts. Not sharp pain. Not the kind that makes you panic. This is the deep, familiar ache that settles into muscle and bone after a night of violence. My shoulders feel heavy. My ribs protest when I breathe too deep. My legs feel like I ran miles, which I did, in a way. I lift an arm and sniff. Blood. Dirt. Sweat. Yeah. I need a real shower. The kind where you scrub until your skin feels new again. A smirk pulls at my mouth before I can stop it. I remember the screams. The way their confidence cracked when they realized they were not hunting prey. The way fear changed their faces when death looked back at them wearing my skin. I exhale sl
Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate Chapter 5
JuneAcademy?The word keeps echoing in my head as I stand there, staring at concrete walls and metal gates like they might answer me back. What the hell is an academy supposed to mean in a place like this?Before I can ask, the main doors open.Two guys walk out, and the air changes instantly.They look like they stepped straight out of an action movie, broad shoulders stretching their black shirts, arms thick with muscle. Not flashy. Not loud. Just massive in a way that makes my instincts pay attention. I have fought some tough people in my life. Men who thought size alone made them dangerous. Standing here, I realize those fights were warm-ups.These guys are something else.“I didn’t sign up for any of this,” I say, stepping closer to Alexei. “I am not here to be part of your cult or whatever this is.”He opens his mouth, but someone else beats him to it.“I told you,” one of the Barbie girls says, flicking her dyed hair back with practiced drama, “she doesn’t have what it takes t
Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate Chapter 4
JuneTrees close in around me, tall and quiet, their trunks dark against the sky. I press my back to one of them and slide down until I’m sitting in the leaves, knees bent, breath finally evening out. My bag rests at my side. My pulse hums, not frantic, just like I have been walking for a while.Night wraps around the woods like it belongs here. The dark does not scare me. It never has. There’s something about being outside when the world sleeps that loosens something in my chest. The air feels wider. Cleaner. Like I can take up space without asking permission.I tilt my head back and look up through the branches. A few stars peek through, shy but stubborn. I smile without meaning to. This, right here, feels like freedom. Like this is kind of place where I can belong.I’m not foolish enough to think the trouble is gone. Men like Hayden don’t fade away because they were embarrassed or hurt. They circle. They plan. I know that. I accept it.And yet, I’m not worried.There’s a strange ca
Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate Chapter 3
JuneThe apartment smells like old paint and dust when I close the door behind me. The lock sticks, like it always does, and I have to lean my shoulder into it until it clicks. One room. Cracked walls. A ceiling stain shaped like a cloud that never goes away no matter how many times the landlord promises to fix it. The heater rattles even when it is off. The window lets in more cold than light.It is home. Temporary. Mine.I drop my bag on the chair that has one leg shorter than the rest and kick my shoes off near the door. The floor is cold through my socks. The bulb above flickers when I turn it on, then settles into a dull yellow glow that makes everything look tired. That is fine. I am tired too.I move to the corner where my bed sits, pushed against the wall. The mattress sags in the middle, but it is clean. I sit on the edge and pull the small first aid box from under the bed. It rattles when I open it. Gauze. Thread. Alcohol wipes. A needle already threaded because I hate wasti
Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate Chapter 2
June I finish wiping the last table by the window, the one that always gets fingerprints no matter how many times I clean it. The café is quiet now, the kind of quiet that only comes after closing. Chairs are flipped upside down, lights dimmed to a soft yellow, the smell of coffee still hanging in the air like it refuses to leave.I like this part of the shift. No customers, no small talk, no pretending I am softer than I am. Just work and the quiet hum of the fridge in the back.I rinse the cloth, wring it out, and hang it where it belongs. Countertops are clean. Pastry case wiped down. Cups stacked just right so the morning crew will not complain. I double check the espresso machine, run water through it, wipe the steam wand until it shines. Everything ready for tomorrow, like the place can wake up without me.I check the clock above the register.Too late. Or close enough to it.If I do not leave now, I will miss it. I turn off the last light and head to the staff locker room.The
