“Athena,” Nicolo called out my name as he shake my shoulders trying to wake me up. 

“What time is it?” I asked squinting at him. I am not asleep but not yet awake as well. I am stuck in between but I am leaning on being able to sleep more.

He gave me a mischievous smile as he stands up before telling me the time, “It’s eight in the morning.” 

“What the hell Nicolo?!” I threw a pillow at him that he managed to dodge. 

“Come on sleepy head let’s have breakfast, I am feeling a bit lonely you know,” he said teasingly as he hide behind my door with only his head peaking in. He knows me well to make the door his shield. He stayed in that position and clings to it as if his life depends on it. “And I keep on telling you to call me Nicole when we’re home.

If you start with "never knew" than keep the rest of that thought in the past with would, could, had, was, etc. If you start with I didn't know, than you can use can, am, have, is, etc.

    What would you do if the sacrifices that you made were actually worthless? What would you do if the person you thought you were saving is on his way to self-destruction? What would you do if the feelings that you tried so hard to hide are about to be exposed? I initially thought that speaking with Nikki would provide me with answers, but it did not. Instead, it just made me more confused and made my heart waver. In the short time that I had known Drake, all I have seen was a passionate, kind, understanding, and loyal leader. Every decision he makes was in the Pack’s best interest. He would listen to every explanation and make a just decision. He even allowed people like me, who is not a Pack member, to stay in his territory and even ensure my safety while I was staying there. This is the Drake I know. That is why I could not accept all the things that Nikki told me about him. The new Drake as she refers to. “I will take the back road,” Nicolo said, stopping me from overthinking. A

    After hearing those three words I felt my heartbreak. He lost it. I couldn’t imagine the way Drake is now. Was this my fault again? Katie and Lisa were exhausted and wouldn’t stop crying telling me that they were glad I did not forget them. Nicolo took care of their dinner and led them to my bedroom to sleep. As I walk outside to the terrace to get some fresh air.“Athena,” Aunt Jess called me as she walked toward me, “You know that I always support you with every decision you make. I let you make those mistakes so that you could learn from them. I know that you went this far because you wanted to protect him. Because I also know how much you loved him. But if this distance and sacrifice you are making is not helping anyone, especially the two of you, don’t you think it's time to stop?

    “You’re leaving?!” Sam shouted in disbelief, as he follow me around while I move some of the boxes in one corner. I thought I would have a quiet time as I clean my office inside my bar. But then he came. “I thought you are here to stay? I thought we would be together forever? Did I do something wrong?” “No, you didn’t,” I replied, “And we told you from the start that our stay here is just temporary.” I was not planning to tell Sam about us leaving until the last minute. But since I sold the bar to one of his friends, it was unavoidable. “Was it because I was pressuring you to pledge your loyalty to me? If that’s it I will stop. Please Athena, just don’t go.” Sam held me by the wrist making me look at him. It made me feel sad seeing the look he had in his eyes. I did not want to hurt him, and I know that I had been so clear with how I felt for him. He’s one of my best friends and that’s where it ends. I can't just offer anything more than that. “I’m sorry Sam, I really need to go,

    Finally, we’rehome.Home, was there really such a place for me to call one? The sun was just rising as Nicolo parks at the front of the apartment that Nikki sold to me, which I will be paying in installments. I took one look at the apartment and I am not gonna lie. I was not expecting something this big. I love how its facade reminds me of the packhouse. Nikki opened the door as we got out of the SUV and rushed towards us.“You’re here,” she squealed as she hugged me as if I was her long-lost friend or relative.“And yes, hello to you too,” I replied awkwardly but she doesn’t seem to notice. She released me from her embrace and hug Aunt Jess. And then everything became tricky as she greets Katie and Lisa. I felt that she wanted to hug them but opted for a nod instead. I introduce

    I was in awe.I took a seat at one of the tables in the far corner with a perfect view of him. I know that the drinks that I initially bought were for to go, that’s why I ordered another one just so I can stay in the coffee shop. He was seated in the same spot that we once sat together. Maybe he was missing you, a voice at the back of my head whispered making me smile. My heart is pounding so fast inside of my chest. If it can produce a sound everyone would have been deaf because of how loud my emotions are right now.He drank his favorite coffee as he looks out of the window, Caramel Macchiato. I still remember how each syllable of his favorite drink sounded when he says it. I never knew a coffee flavor would sound so sexy. My eyes are glued to all the movemen

    I woke up with heavy eyes and an aching head. The sun was shining brightly outside my window. Like it was telling me that today is going to be a great day. The door opened and Nicolo came in holding a tray with my breakfast.“You didn’t have to bring it to me,” I croaked. Nicolo placed the tray on my bed gently and fetch me some water and handed it to me.“I just wanted to try and make you breakfast in bed, even just this one time,” he smiled, "By the way, just a reminder, we have a meeting with the Nori guy regarding our new bar this afternoon. I know how you wanted to check the place out yourself. It's scheduled late in the afternoon, so you still have time to rest.”I nodded at him as I took a bite of the toast he had served me, and I sliced a piece of egg and bacon

    Life has a funny way of messing up with you at times. I am not sure if this was Karma in the works or was it just pure coincidence. Of all the people to meet it had to be him. It’s not that I don’t like to meet him, because I do. I was just not yet ready and it was too soon. I took a glance at Nori and I can see that he was as confused as I am. He approached us and ask the question that I wanted to ask but couldn’t.“Alpha, we are meeting Pete, he decided to sell this building to Athena so she could open her bar here,” Nori said.Drake turned and looked at him, I was surprised at the intensity of his stare but Nori didn’t budge nor looked like he was afraid. He stood there staring back at Drake with pure calmness. I look at them and I kinda miss the smiling and playful Nori. But ever since that night when he called out

    I stared at the contract in front of me lost in thought as our last conversation played in my head.Ex-lover...I glanced up at the man in front of me who was seriously reading the contract in front of him.Ex-lover…I wonder how he can easily say those words when I can’t even remember when we became one? We are just two people whose misfortunes were entangled together. And when the time did come for us to see if we can really be more than just two unfortunate souls, I almost lost you.All of a sudden everything seems clear, I didn’t leave Drake because I love him so much. I left him because I was guilty. I’m a hypocrite, for making everyone believe that what I

    Hi, Purplelites!It’s been a while since the last time we had a talk. And for those who are new to Claiming My Alpha, I welcome you with a warm heart. By the way, I have already started the second book which is entitled Redeeming My Alpha, I know that some might be a bit disappointed with the way things have ended with Claiming My Alpha, but let me just tell you that the fight is not over yet.

But it will give you a deeper knowledge as to what has happened to Purple Hill before the timeline in Claiming my Alpha and continue to the current timeline. It will tell the story of Dana, Lana, Nori, and Seth, before and after the first attack on Purple Hill.

    “I didn’t find her,” the weakling explains frantically as he kneels before us, “But you are right they have a mage with them but it was not Drake’s mate.” “Interesting,” Ares replied. I looked at my love and couldn’t help myself smile. He was everything that I asked for. Everything that I needed. And I wouldn’t let anyone harm him, especially that powerful Luna I keep hearing. No one is more powerful than my Mate Ares. And no one will be more powerful than I am. We are the indestructible couple, and we have proven that time and time again. That’s why people feared us. They would all fall on their knees as they beg for mercy asking us to save their lives. “So there is another mage lurking in Purple Hill,” Ares said with a smile. I know that smile, that’s the smile he has when he’s interested in something. Even if he doesn’t say it, I know that he was disappointed to know that Drake was alive. But it didn’t seem to bother him much before especially after knowing that Drake was actu

    What’s my favorite time of the day? Well, if you ask my friends you will hear common answers like recess or lunch break. But then again I am not your ordinary girl, I am the daughter of the two most powerful and influential people in Purple Hill, the so-called Alpha King, and the Extraordinary Luna. Yep, I am a product of the most talk-about love story in Purple Hill. It was so beautifully told that it seemed like it came from one of those fairy tale books. Like my parents are characters from a happily ever after book. Well, enough about them. This is my story now. I know that their story has not yet ended and yes, after all those years there is still a threat to our freedom. That is why my parents, especially my father and his most trusted Alpha friends created an elite force that includes one of the most important people in my life. But before I go talking about him non-stop, let me answer the question I was asked earlier. What is my favorite time of the day? What else wou

    If the world is perfect there will be no pain. If the world is perfect there will be no tears. If the world is perfect there will be no wars. If the world is perfect then there will be no bad people. If the world is perfect then we won’t lose the people we love. Unfortunately, the world was never built that way. It’s been two years since that dreaded day but it still feels like yesterday. I later found out that we were not the only pack who were attacked that day. Some of my alliance pack lost their Alpha, while some totally lost their pack as a whole. The number of lives that were lost because of the greediness of some is something I have always hated. “Dwaddee, dwaddee,” Anya shouts happily as she runs towards me wearing a cute bathing suit. “Anya, don’t run,” Mikey shouted behind her, “You might fall.” And Anya did fall. I was about to stand up and go to her afraid that she got hurt or that she will cry. But she didn’t. She slowly stood up and started wiping the

    Regrets… Always comes in the end… It’s funny how God gave us the power of free will. The greatest power that ever existed. The decision to make a choice. Unfortunately, such power is not easy to use. Because with each decision that we make comes the consequences of such a choice. I stood in at the locked door of the operating room banging the door wanting it to break open. I am here because of the choice I made. A decision made by myself who was under a spell. I know that all of what is happening now was the result of the decision I made. And yes, I have no one else but myself to blame. Did you know that when there’s regret, the what-ifs question comes next? Like, what if I listened to Calvin and have Lana check on me sooner? What if I did not leave the packhouse and just stayed in Little Wolf’s room just like what Athena does when she’s so mad at me? What if, I was not placed under that fucking spell? What if? And I know that no matter how many what if’s I ask, nothing is goin

    “Athena!” I smiled or at least I tried, as I recognize who the voice belongs to. “That’s it, baby,” Drake said as he looks down at me. “Keep your eyes open,” I can feel the desperation in his voice. I wanted to reassure him but I don’t want to give him any false hope. I don’t really know what’s gonna happen to me. ‘Leia,’ I called out for my wolf, ‘Can you hear me?’ I called out but there was no reply. I felt so weak but I can’t release the shield I placed on Little Wolf. Not until I know that she can be safe. ‘I’m sorry,’ I said weakly through the mind link with Drake. His eyes grew big and I knew that he heard me so I tried again. ‘I love you.’ ‘I love you too, baby,’ Drake said as he held me a little tighter than before. Then he looks at the person in front of him and shouted, “Why is she not healing? She is my mate for god’s sake! I should have healed her already!” “I am surprised as well Alpha,” A voice of a man answered, “I am just as clueless as you are. I am not sure

    I lost… I don’t know what happened or how it happened. But here I am in a fetal position as I protect my tummy because of Little Wolf. Nori was lying lifeless once again just a few feet away from me. He did all that he could to protect me and try to put down Sam on his own. But because of his wounds and the countless rogue wolves that have made it impossible not only for him but for me as well. “Why do you keep resisting?” Sam asked as he stood over me in human form. “I am not resisting anything,” I told him, “You are the one who is insisting on something that doesn’t exist.” ‘I don’t really care if you feel the same way or not,” Sam said arrogantly, “What matters to me is that you are mine.” “I will never be yours, Sam,” I don’t care if I receive more anger from him. Because, I will never, ever tell him something that isn’t true. I will never give him the satisfaction of hearing the words that he wanted to hear. “What is it about that stupid Drake that you love?” Sam asked, “

    ‘At this rate, we would all die,’ Leia said, as I continue panting. I was out of shape. It’s been months since the last time I had any physical training. ‘Then make sure that we won’t,’ I said to Leia. ‘That’s a quite a demanding request isn’t it?’ Leia responded. ‘Does it seem like you have a choice?’ I asked her as I bit the head off of the wolf in front of me, ‘Remember, if I die, you die.’Death is something that I am not prepared to face right now and I can feel that Leia also feels the same. I still have so many plans and things that I wanted to do. At the same time, I don’t want Little Wolf to grow without me. I am not saying that Aunt Jess did a bad job raising me because that’s just not true. I guess what I was trying to say is there are times and things that I wish I could do or talk about with my mom. “I feel helpless Athena,” Nicolo shouted. I know how he feels but I don’t want him to feel that way. I don’t blame him and I would never let him fight when he is at a disa
