Chicago Alpha Chapter 14: Sweet or Sneaky
Clarissa's P.O.V.Waking the following day, I couldn't help but stretch out in the magnificent bed underneath me. Being stubborn as I was, I declined dinner the night before and went to bed early. Antonio wasn't lying yesterday when he said I needed to rest. Who knew that all this information was so mentally draining.Swinging my feet over the side of the bed, I made my way towards the large ensuite bathroom. The hot water poured over my body, making me moan in satisfaction as I cleaned off the dirt and grim. It wasn't until I was finished that I realized I didn't have clothes with me."Shit." Opening the door to the bathroom slowly, I crept out into the bedroom. My eyes cast glances around the room, praying that no one had decided to enter, like Antonio."What are you doing?" The voice made me squeal and jump in surprise as I spun around to see Alyssa. "Jesus woman! Trying to give me a heart attack?" Alyssa broke out into a fit of laughter as she lounged back into the chaise situate
Chicago Alpha Chapter 15: Making Friends
Clarissa's P.O.V.It was hard to adjust to how well I had been sleeping since I came to Antonio's home. Yesterday had been a perfect day and the thoughts of how sweet Antonio was kept floating through my mind.When I awoke this morning, he had left a note on my nightstand explaining that he had to take care of things in the city. I have to admit; I was a little uneasy with the idea he had been in my room while I was sleeping. However, his note was a lovely gesture.I couldn't wait another minute as I hurriedly threw on clothes and raced downstairs to the library. It was all I could think about as soon as my eyes fluttered open, and thankfully Martha had taken a liking to me.She made sure to bring me breakfast and coffee, so I didn't starve, which is what I was currently doing as I skimmed through the old pages of a worn-out black leather book. The flaky, warm, buttery crust of the croissant melted in my mouth, and with every bite, I could not help but let a moan escape. Martha's cook
Chicago Alpha Chapter 16: Desire
Antonio's P.O.VIt had been a few days since Clarissa had met with Lewis, my pack doctor. I was unhappy that Joseph and Clarissa went behind my back and ran tests to find out more about her past. That was something I had wanted to be a part of with her. She was my mate. Not Josephs. Controlling the jealousy that had been forming was hard, but I knew it was just my wolf wanting to complete the bond with his mate. 'We need her.' Zeus growled lowly."I am aware. She needs time. How about we plan to spend some time with her today? Will that make you happy?" Zeus growled again before huffing in agreement. I knew he was becoming restless, and that worried me. Most werewolves couldn't resist having gone this long without marking their mate. Her scent drifted in from my open office doorway, and I knew she must have been making her way towards the kitchen. Clarissa seemed to have a routine that was on point every day—making her a very predictable woman. The last few days, she would wake and g
Chicago Alpha Chapter 17: He is MINE
Clarissa P.O.V.Rubbing my fingers across my lips, I smiled, thinking about how Antonio had overpowered me with his kiss. The overwhelming feeling of wanting him beside me was taking control. I had awoken with a new sensation in me. The desire to be with him. To touch him and kiss him. I couldn't deny that Antonio set my soul on fire. I was addicted, addicted to Antonio Serrano, a gorgeous Hispanic man.No, a gorgeous Hispanic werewolf that sent warmth to my core and made me want to do all sorts of bad things. I knew he stopped what could have happened yesterday because he didn't think I was ready. He said it was the mate bond, but it wasn't. I wanted him more than anything."Hey, lazy bitch you still in bed?" Alyssa's voice called from the other side of my bedroom door, and I couldn't help but laugh. I watched her bubbly figure walk into my room with a pep in her step."Why are you so chipper this morning?" I couldn't hold the laugh that escaped me as I watched her bring the hidden S
Chicago Alpha Chapter 18: The Inner Circle
Antonio's P.O.VThe grogginess that overtook me was like a dark cloud of fog hanging over my head. I had awoken to the dimly lit room I called Serenity. However, it would only be a true haven when she shared it with me.Clarissa. The thought of her sent a surge of hunger through my veins. The events that had taken place flooded my mind, and it was at the moment Zeus growled lowly. 'She marked us.' Zeus growled possessively. We loved the fact she had marked us, making us hers, and with that mark of claim, there was no undoing it. However, her dominance was what angered me. I am the Alpha, not her.Yet, my Alpha power did nothing to her, and that intrigued me. She was a different creature from all perspectives, but I could not get the image of her out of my mind. When she took over in her wolf form, it was extraordinary. Clarissa didn't seem to shift into a wolf like the rest of us when she lost control. The two forms merged entirely into one entity. As a werewolf, we all can mid-shif
Chicago Alpha Chapter 19: Chaos
Clarissa's P.O.V.Anger. Remorse. Disgust.That was what I felt. Utter chaos was the world I was creating.The council had come and gone, and even though a week had passed, it didn't matter.The calls and letters coming in said it all. People were calling for my removal. I was sure that Diana was the cause for a lot of the drama circulating me.Diana, Antonio's ex-wife, seemed to thrive for attention. It was clear to anyone that all she cared about was being powerful, and she didn't like the fact that Antonio had moved on and she was no longer the center of attention.I had reclused to my room and the library for the last few days, and Antonio gave me my space. Initially, he was angry that I was rejecting his advances. I knew that he wanted to complete the mate bond, and so did I, but I didn't want to bring something that was supposed to be amazing into a horrible situation.How was I supposed to be happy and carefree when so many people saw me as a disgrace to the supernatural world?
Chicago Alpha Chapter 20: Daddy Dearest
Clarissa's P.O.VThe events of what I had done did not sit well with many, but I didn't care about the new power running through my veins. I was protecting what was mine, and the woman had tried to have me killed.As far as I was concerned, I did everyone a favor by taking her life. Antonio grew concerned for my state of mind, and I heard the argument the night before he had with Doctor Lewis when he asked about the results.Doctor Lewis did what he was commanded to do, and Alyssa said that Antonio had picked up on the fact he was vague. It didn't matter how much Antonio tried to control him with his Alpha tone; it couldn't override my words. Another thing that had everyone worried, and I watched as Thomas and Joseph seemed to watch me from the shadows. "She is like a ticking time bomb, Alyssa." The calm voice of Joseph was heard outside my bedroom door, followed by Alyssa's."Oh, stop it. You all are acting ridiculous. First, you are concerned because she wasn't like a normal wolf, a
Chicago Alpha Chapter 21: A bond for a lifetime
Clarissa's P.O.V.Alyssa's sleek, black car pulled into the driveway slowly before coming to a stop. It only took a moment for the front door to fly open and my eyes to look into the mesmerizing brown of Antonio's.His breaths came in heavy as I watched the rise and fall of his chest. The feeling of his anger and concern came rolling off him in waves. "Miss me?" I said with a smile as I stood waiting for his reaction.There was no doubt that he was contemplating his next move as he tried to decide what to do. Antonio did not take kindly to people disobeying him, from what I could tell. However, his questionable look and persistent staring were making me uncomfortable. Taking slow steps, I attempted to move past him into the house.However, Antonio's hand reached out, gripping my arm, halting my movements. Slowly, as his head turned and his eyes made contact with mine, I knew I was in trouble. The action in which he quickly pushed my body against the front door took my breath away. H

Chicago Alpha Chapter 50: Mexico
Antonio's P.O.V.Waking up, I couldn't help but smile as I thought of my beautiful mate. She was officially my Luna and the mother figure of the pack. She was beyond what I had ever dreamed of having for a mate and far more the woman anyone could have imagined her to be.Sure, she was different, but those differences were nothing that would change my opinion of her.Looking over to her side of the bed, I noticed the vacant spot and how cold the area felt. Knowing her, she probably had gone downstairs to get something to eat. Lord knows my mate loved Martha's cooking.Wasting no time, I quickly climbed from the bed and jumped in the shower. It would be a very long day, and there was so much that needed to be done.A knock came on my bedroom door as I was pulling on my shirt, and without being able to answer it, Joseph came barging into the room. I found myself shocked as to what would make him seem too frantic, "Joseph, what is the problem? You look pale, my friend." I chuckled and cont
Chicago Alpha Chapter 49: Officially His Luna
Clarissa's P.O.V."As I will ever be, I guess." Taking a deep breath, I walked out of the library, ready for the next step of my life.The sun had set long ago, and within that setting, sunlight came the tiny twinkling lights along the grass that illuminated a small walkway. The girls stood behind me and ushered me to follow the path, and with a smile upon my face, I nodded. This was it.My feet moved slowly forward, and my eyes cast into the distance. I knew that Antonio was at the end of this walkway, and I was making my way towards him and our future. There was nothing more that I wanted than to spend the rest of my life with him. I couldn't stop thinking about everything that had happened over the past few months. From the first time I met him; to the first time he kissed me. The way his breath felt against my skin and the look in his eyes when he was staring at me. Nothing but utter happiness filled my soul when I was with Antonio. I felt safe; protected. I would love him for al
Chicago Alpha Chapter 48: To Many Loose Ends
Clarissa's P.O.V."The child Maria Carmen was a human/fae hybrid, but she was murdered as a child, or so said the queen, who disappeared years after that."Alyssa's words rang in my ears, and I wasn't sure how to take what she was saying. Perhaps it was a different Maria Carmen. There was no way that any of that was true. "Maybe it's a different Maria Carmen.""Perhaps, but that is way too weird for words. Something that definitely needs to be checked into, eventually. If you are the child of Maria Carmen, there is a lot more that you need to be aware of." Alyssa looked at me with concern, and I was starting to wonder if my life was some ironic sitcom movie."Like what?" I groaned internally."Uh, like how the Fae world never approved of the hybrid notion being inflicted in their pure bloodline. That was why other Fae colonies tried to send hired assassins to murder Maria."My mouth formed an 'o' shape at hearing Alyssa, and I couldn't help but slowly nod. "Yeah, that can be seen as a
Chicago Alpha Chapter 47:New Information
Clarissa's P.O.V.Antonio's playful nature was a godsend when recovering from everything. My feet graced the steps two at a time as I jogged down the stairs, coming face to face with Leah."Can I speak with you?"Raising a brow, I nodded out of curiosity. There wasn't much conversation that had ever happened between this girl and me, and I didn't understand what she would have to say to me now."What's up?""I wanted to apologize for everything. I shouldn't have acted as I did, and I feel horrible." Crossing my arms, I stared at her as she continued apologizing, "I was under the impression that Diana was my friend. We used to tell each other everything, and when she left, she said it was because Antonio was hurting her and that he was cruel. I never thought she would lie to me like that."Hearing that Diana had portrayed my mate as a man that hurt women boiled my blood. How dare she taint my mate's image? Listening to Leah, I began to realize that she was played, and even though she ha
Chicago Alpha Chapter 46: Taking It All In
Antonio's P.O.V.Sitting here watching Clarissa's beautiful face brought tears to my eyes; she seemed so carefree and joyful. Clarissa laughed with Alyssa and the others as if nothing terrible had ever happened to her, and I didn't know what it was to have such a carefree life. The whites of her teeth sparkling in the sunlight as Alyssa said something else, and the giggling fit would begin once again. Clarissa was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, and there was nothing I wouldn't do for her. The sun shone down on her bare flesh as she warmed herself in the rays of light.Thomas and Leah kicking a ball back and forth to each other in the distance before Cassio scoops up a screaming Alyssa and drops her into our pool. Everything was falling into place, and yet I couldn't stop thinking about the truth.When we found Clarissa in her father's home, she changed.Clarissa was still the same woman, but she was so much different from the scared girl I once knew. Clarissa had grown into
Chicago Alpha Chapter 45: Home Sweet Home
Clarissa's P.O.VThere was nothing like being back in our bed. It didn't matter where a person could travel in the world; at the end of the day, being back in your bed was pure happiness. Antonio's strong arms wrapped around my waist and brought me closer to him as he inhaled the scent of my hair deeply. "Good Morning, beautiful."Smiling, I rolled over and looked at him, "Good Morning, sir." There was no use in trying to forget what had happened in Florida. My father and Brantley worked together to destroy my life and that of every other supernatural creature. Alyssa said that she had learned a lot going through Torrez's documents.It turns out Torrez had been working for years trying to turn the inner circle against us and anyone who wasn't a pure wolf. He was doing it for control. Infiltrate and take down the top from the inside. Antonio was adamant that, when we first got home, there would be no discussion of everything that happened, but Alyssa and I both knew that there needed t
Chicago Alpha Chapter 44: Wrath of a Luna Part Two
Clarissa's P.O.V.My blades swung freely as I maneuvered through the array of bodies. The rush of adrenaline that coursed through me fueled my vengeful desires. My mind replayed the events of everything that had happened, and the one thing I was more sure of than anything was that Antonio was mine.Love was the emotion that overwhelmed me the most, and as the last specks of blood spattered against my skin, I saw him.Antonio stared at me with wide eyes, but love held him in place. A smile decorated his lips, and the stubble of worry that crossed his chin was enough to make a girl fluster. "Clarissa..." when he said my name, it was as if he couldn't believe I was before him. Before a word could leave my mouth, a cry escaped my lips as a searing pain rippled through me. Looking down, I saw the silver of a blade sticking from my body. It was quickly jerked back, and I looked up into the eyes of Antonio, who seemed paralyzed with panic before screaming out, "Clarissa! No!"I didn't die, l
Chicago Alpha Chapter 43: Wrath of a Luna Part One
Clarissa's P.O.V.Nadia had prepared my appearance, but no one could prepare me mentally for what I would be walking into. There was nothing that could prepare me for that. Imagine waking up one morning expected for your day to be as typical as it always was, and in the blink of an eye, it's something else.I always thought of destiny as something we created for ourselves, but I have learned that destiny is also something that others can help create for you. There was a time when I would have given anything to be that girl a man would do anything for. Right now, though, I wished I would have just been alone. I hated the fact that Antonio and the others were walking into a trap.There was no doubt in my mind that they were on their way or already here waiting to set me free. It was just a matter of time, and even though they were skilled warriors; no one is immune from death.Walking down the long white hallways, my eyes cast to the floor; I allowed the guard to lead me to where Brantl
Chicago Alpha Chapter 42: Determination
Antonio's P.O.V.Torrez's property looked like something off of MTV's Cribs, and the luxury he had spent on the home was outrageous. I could feel a surge of emotions from the property in front of me, and I knew Clarissa was there.Alyssa and Cassio had set off moments ago to scope the outside of the property, and while I waited on their return, it took everything in me for Zeus not to run wild. Clarissa was my beautiful mate, and I felt guilty for not telling her enough; for not telling her that I loved her enough. I couldn't begin to imagine what it would be like if I got in there and she was dead. The thought of her death sent despair through my soul and made Zeus cry out in pain. "Antonio." Joseph's voice pulled me from my thoughts, and I turned around to see him standing with Alyssa and Cassio. "What did you find?""It looks like the south entrance will be the best way in. It's water access for the most part and is the least guarded. Probably because they don't think we would lo
