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
I just finished taking a bath after my morning jog but here I am, standing in front of my closet, asking it to give me something nice to wear. I am not the type of person who really cares about the type of clothes that I am wearing, but, since it would be the first time I will be seeing Drake after our contract signing, I just thought that it wouldn’t hurt to look a bit more presentable than I used to. “Athena,” Nicolo shouted as he enters my room. He eyes me suspiciously as I continue to rummage my dresser for something decent but an eye-catching attire. “Well it’s a first,” Nicolo sat on my bed. I turned and looked at him. “What?!” “First you woke up early, and now you can’t make up your mind on what to wear,” he crossed his arms across his chest
Tonight is the night that I had been waiting for since I signed the business contract with Drake. And as always, I am cramming and panicking as I stood over the pile of clothes at my feet. Looking for something to wear felt like a treasure hunt. I try to scour around for something that would fit the theme of the opening party that Drake decided to throw at the last minute. I opened a bar before and all I have to wear was a fitted black mini-skirt and a loose silk spaghetti strapped blouse that I paired up with my boots. I was planning to do the same thing today until Drake called me early in the morning telling me that there was a slight change of plans with our grand opening party. Apparently, he got an idea to host a party for the single people in his pack and with his alliances. To give them the chance to find their fated mate. I actually like the co
The night was a success. Drake’s alliances became stronger and made not only his people but also his alliance's people happy by finding the person they want to live with. For shifters like us, there are two ways to find a suitable mate. One is finding someone they want to be with on their own. As long as both parties agree there is no problem. This is similar to how humans find their suitable mate, just like what had happened to Drake before. This is called the Chosen Mate. Another way of finding someone’s mate is through the blessing of the moon goddess, which is called Fated Mate. This one is more magical and fairytale-like. The way one believes that there is someone out there that was destined for him or her.I now understood why Drake decided to have a masquerade ball. The mystery that each of the masks held, heightens not only the excitement of being able to open yourself up to a com
Purple Hill was on high alert and the bar was only allowed to be open for a few hours each night. It had been three weeks since the last time I saw Drake. I never complained even if he was not able to fulfill his part of the deal to spend dinner with me every Friday night. I understand how important security was for him especially the safety of his pack. He even hired Aunt Jess as a consultant as she helps them by using her vision.Lisa and Katie moved out of the house after pledging their loyalty to Drake once again. Because of how busy I was with the bar and now because of the high alert in Purple Hill, we weren’t able to see each other. We do send each other text messages but because of our busy schedules we always end up replying late. Nori told me that they became busier with training new she-wolves in their pack.Drake initially asked me to mo
“I believe that Ares already heard about what had happened in the clearing, and about Athena’s powers,” Calvin confirmed what I already know. I know that Ares will know about it one way or another. And I am at the edge as I am at loss to what he was planning. He was way too quiet.A part of me is glad that I already have Athena back which makes it easier for me to protect her. But with Levi’s absence, I am still doubting myself. I have been training again since Athena healed me and I started walking. I know that lately, Levi has been showing himself more, but I can't shift yet.Another problem I have is that Athena still hasn’t shifted. Making it impossible to claim her as my mate. But what the hell am I talking about? Why am I rushing her when my wolf is still hiding in the dark. I just hope that he decides to show up
“I love you Drakey,” she whispered.“Can't you love me too?”I stare at her in silence. She finally said it, the words that I have been longing to hear. But my arrogant pride just won’t let me accept it freely as my subconscious argues with my logic as it lay out the truth that I knew all along, she’s drunk, and you shouldn’t value the words of a drunk. My consciousness knows that Athena wouldn’t lie. Even my heart knows it. I ran my hand through my hair as frustrations envelope my body.“Okay,” Athena said as she waves her hand like she was telling me to forget what she just had said.“Just have sex with me,&rdquo
Hi, Purplelites!It’s been a while since the last time I left you a message. For those who are new, I welcome you with a warm heart. By the way, I have already started with the third and last book called Saving My Alpha. I hope that this book will answer all the unanswered questions that you have. Saving My Alpha is the continuation of both Claiming My Alpha and Redeeming My Alpha and more. The timeline takes place before Anya turns 18 and is about to shift with her wolf. I know that you miss Little Mikey and Baby Anya and Mikey’s cute claim that Anya would be his Luna. And are all curious if they would really be Fated Mates? All of that will be addressed in Saving My Alpha. Not only that but new characters will be revealed and some old ones will also make a reappearance. And that’s not all, the final battle between good and evil will finally be set. Will they finally get the peace that they have all been fighting for? And at what cost? Once again, thank you all for your const
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. Just to give you a brief insight about Redeeming My Alpha, it’s a bit of a slow-burn kind of story. 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. A story about family, friendship, sisterhood, love, secrets, and the looming threat that seems to not only affect Purple Hill but all the Packs in the region comes to threaten the peace and lives of people who live there. As they finally
“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
