Alexei sits beside me as we travel to the Redwood pack.
I can sense his curiosity and slight apprehension about this trip, but he knows better than to voice it.
I normally don't attend such events, but for some reason, I felt intrigued to go there. It is almost like something is calling me.
"How much longer?" I ask, my voice cutting through the quiet.
"About an hour," Alexei replies. He momentarily stops using his phone as the sound of his typing stops.
Nodding, I lean back against the leather seat.
The number of rogue attacks has been increasing, and while I prefer to handle things within my own territory, I cannot ignore the potential benefits of forming alliances. Maybe coming to this ball is not a bad idea, as it sounded to me earlier.
Abruptly, Alexei's words about the true mate bond come to my mind. A mate, destined by the Moon Goddess, created for me alone. I shake my head, trying to dismiss the thought.
Layla is enough. She will be my Luna.
"We're almost there," Alexei says, interrupting my thoughts.
As we arrive at the Redwood Pack, my senses are overloaded with all the foreign smell and sensations. I am out of my comfort zone, here everything is new and foreign. Without my sight, it would not be easy to navigate for me, but I will not show any weakness.
A sign of weakness serves as the invitation to other Alpha to challenge your credibility.
Alexei and I have trained all our lives; he is my eye whenever I have to travel to a new place.
The car comes to a stop, and I feel Alexei slightly turning towards me, a silent reassurance. "Let's go, Alpha," he says and steps out of the car.
Squaring my shoulders, I step outside the car as a stoic mask takes over my features. I let my Alpha energy radiate off of me so everyone knows I am not someone they can mess with.
The air is filled with the scent of blooming flowers and freshly cut grass. I can hear the faint rustling of leaves and the distant murmurs of wolves preparing for the event. Despite my poor vision, I can sense the grandeur of the place.
"Welcome, Alpha Mikhail." A voice greets me, and I recognize Alpha Gregor's scent. "It's a pleasure to have you here."
"Thank you for the invitation." Grabbing his extended hand in a firm shake, I nod my head.
"Please, make yourself comfortable. We have prepared the finest accommodations for you," Gregor says, leading us inside. "And if there is anything you need, we will be honored to serve you."
As we walk through the hallways, I can sense the bustling activity around us. The Redwood Pack is leaving no stone unturned in their preparations for the Full Moon Ball. My heightened senses pick up snippets of conversations, laughter, and the occasional sound of hurried footsteps.
Among all the foreign smells, my nose picks up hints of lavender and vanilla, causing my wolf to come forward. The smell seems hypnotic, yet it causes strange restlessness inside me. Inhaling deeply, I try to get another whiff of the smell, but there are only lingering traces of the scent disappearing among other scents.
"Alpha Gregor, what's the agenda for tonight?" Alexei asks, trying to gather information about this ball.
"Tonight is just for settling in and mingling. Tomorrow, we will have the main event. It will be a grand affair, with the hope that some of our guests will find their destined mates," Gregor explains.
The mention of mates again sends a ripple of unease through me. I try to focus on the immediate tasks, pushing aside the thoughts of the Moon Goddess's plans.
"Very well," I say, keeping my tone neutral.
As we reach our quarters, Gregor takes his leave.
Alexei room is in the opposite room to mine, which is convenient as he can come to whenever I need his assistance.
Alexei quickly skim through my room, and check everything before giving me the detailed information about the room so I can navigate on my own.
I can hear the faint sound of water from a nearby fountain, adding a calming effect to the atmosphere.
"Go get some rest. Tomorrow will be a long day." I dismiss Alexei because I know that even though he is tired from this long journey, the full moon is affecting his wolf as well.
"You, too, try to get some sleep," He responds, leaving me alone in the room.
I sit on the edge of the bed, my mind wandering to the scent of lavender and vanilla. Something about it felt different... almost inviting.
My wolf stirs restlessly inside me the more I think about that scent.
My thoughts keep drifting back to that alluring scent.
It's maddening.
The more I think about it, the more unsettled I become.

Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate Chapter 12
CalebMorning creeps in through the narrow window like it owns the place. Pale light slides across the floor and climbs the wall, catching on the edge of my dresser and the rumpled blanket on my bed. The academy is quiet in that early way, right before breakfast when everyone is either half awake or pretending they are not.I stand in front of the mirror, tugging on a clean shirt, staring at my own reflection without really seeing it.Her scent is still there.That is the problem.One inhale. That is all it took. One breath in that bathroom, thick with steam and heat, and now it feels like my lungs remember something my mind never asked for. Every time I breathe, it is like my body is waiting for it again, searching for something it already knows it cannot forget.I press my palm flat against the dresser and force myself to breathe slower. It does not help. The scent is not actually here, yet it clings to me anyway, woven into memory in a way that feels unfair.It is ridiculous how on
Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate Chapter 11
Caleb I push the bathroom door open and step inside. The scent hits me so hard it almost steals the air from my lungs. I stop just past the threshold, hand still on the door, breath locking in my chest like I have been struck. Heat flares low and fast, not from exertion, not from anger. My wolf surges forward with a sound that rumbles through me, a warning and a recognition wrapped into one. Mine. The word is not spoken, but it exists all the same. The scent is layered. Clean soap. Warm skin. Something sharper beneath it, something that curls straight into my chest and tightens that strange ache that has been following me all night. It is familiar in a way that makes no sense. I have never stood in this room with this person before, and yet every part of me reacts like it has been waiting. The pull snaps tight. It is like reaching the end of a hunt and feeling the target right in front of you, close enough to touch. My body knows it before my mind can argue. My muscles tense,

CalebJake arrives first, boots crunching softly through leaves, followed by four pack warriors and two trackers who move like they were born reading forests. The clearing seems to shrink once they step into it, like it knows it has been seen now and cannot pretend otherwise.Jake stops beside me and takes it all in without saying a word at first. His eyes move over the bodies, the blood sprayed across bark, the torn earth, the head caught in the branches. His mouth twists, not in disgust, but in something closer to recognition.Then he lets out a breath that sounds almost like a laugh.“I thought only you had this crazier streak,” he says, voice light but careful, like humor placed gently on top of something sharp. “Looks like you have competition.”He gestures toward the nearest tree, its bark painted dark and thick, and shakes his head slowly.I snort before I can stop myself. “No one beats my craziness.”The smirk comes easy. It always does. It is armor as much as it is habit.But
Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate Chapter 9
CalebI am not supposed to be out tonight.It is Lucas’s turn to patrol, but Aurora calls him and something in his voice changes when he answers. I hear it from down the hall, that quiet pull that means she needs him now. He does not ask me. He does not have to. He is my brother, and I will always be there whenever he needs me, no matter how trivial the reason is. I am already shrugging into my jacket, already telling him I will cover it. I have been patrolling the last two nights in a row, but sleep has been avoiding me anyway, so this feels like the better choice.My wolf has been restless for hours, prowling under my skin like he is caged too tight. Something feels off. Not danger exactly, but not calm either. It is the kind of feeling that makes lying in bed feel pointless.I tried earlier. I really did. I stared at the ceiling, listened to the building settle, counted breaths, counted heartbeats. Nothing worked. Sleep does not come when my wolf is like this. He wants movement. No
Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate Chapter 8
JuneThe dining hall hums with noise the moment we step inside.Voices overlap. Trays clatter. The smell of food hits me all at once, warm and heavy and real. Eggs, bread, something fried, something sweet. My stomach tightens in response, sharp and demanding. We are not the only ones here. Other trainees fill the space, groups I do not recognize, faces harder, older, some younger. From what I overhear, this place runs on rotations. People come and go. The Academy never sleeps.Misha walks beside me, her limp more noticeable now that the run is done, but her eyes are bright as she scans the buffet like it might disappear if she blinks too long.We grab plates from the stack. The ceramic feels solid in my hands. I move down the line, scooping food without hesitation. Scrambled eggs. Bread. Something that looks like potatoes. I do not overthink it. Food is fuel. Food is comfort. Food is not something I waste time being polite about.A couple of the guys from the run fall in step with us
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 my
