ALPHA JACE

"You're not listening, Addie." Ian tried to get Addison to look at things from our perspective.

"What the hell do you mean she's pregnant? Game or not you've actually gotten another wolf, a runt pregnant!" Her accusing voice filled the home office.

"Could you at least shut the hell up and listen more?" I matched her tone already irritated from everything that had happened in the last few hours.

Everything felt good, went smoothly when planned but actually living out the plan felt more hazy, laced with headache and rage.

Addison found it hard to recover from the shock, her face flushed from exertion, plumped-out lips hanging open with her gaze solely on me.

"We're not getting married?" Her tone became instantly soft, fear momentarily crossing her blue eyes.

This stabbed straight into my heart, I loved Addison.

"That's not true, babe," I left where I stood by the window to take her hands, squeezing them reassuringly. "I love you and it's why we're doing this. I

    CARLY WOODSAlpha Jace hastily jerked away from me as though I burnt him."What?" He queried, knitting his brows together, struggling to make sense of what I had mumbled.Trying to figure me out.What would he do if he discovered I overheard his initial conversation with Ian?Why would Beta Ian concede to something like that? Were my feelings never considered when they imagined something as despicable as that?To think the decision was made by the commanders of the pack. The people who were supposed to protect their members. Granted I was a lowly omega but that didn't give them the right to treat me however they pleased.Would he try punishing me for eavesdropping on the Alpha, for invading his privacy or would he lock me up to prevent me from hightailing to the hills?Well, if he was willing to kill his first blood then I couldn't put anything past him now, could I?No. That became a chance I wasn't willing to take with my child.The thought of anything happening to my baby made my

  • Dare To Mate   Chapter Eight - HER HOPE

    Carly Woods "Good morning, Alice." I chirped with an extra dose of sweetness as I stepped into the kitchen in a red strap dress that stopped a little above my knees with white strap sandals, my brunette hair was in a messy high bun. I sit on the kitchen stool while biting into the apple I grabbed from the fruit basket, slowly glancing around the kitchen Alice was running around preparing a breakfast feast which was more than what she usually fixed for me. It's been a week since Alpha Jace kept me locked up in his mansion and life here was not filled with cotton candies, unicorns, or white clouds. "Hey, what's with all the food? Surely Jace and I can't finish up all this." My eyes stopped on a stack of fluffy buttermilk pancakes, waffles, omelets, and some French toast. There's a pitcher of orange juice which had me thinking we'll be having company. "Morning dear, you seem happy today." She paused to spare me a glance. "And you ain't looking bad." She said causing my fac

    CARLY WOODS POVI sat in my favorite spot under the tangerine tree hugging my legs to my chest.I mostly come here to clear my head after an encounter with Addison."This place reeks of slut...."How could she possibly say that when she threatened me to sleep with Jace?I wished Jace would say something to stop her or Nate, but why would they? I was just an omega whose feelings could be trampled on.I wasn't expecting much from them but, it would've been nice to have someone stand up for me.I knew Jace wouldn't go against Addison, he just feigned to be unaware of the insults she throws my way, well he too isn't very far from her since he does throw his fair share of insults.I hate myself for wasting my tears on these people. Biting my lips, I tried to swallow a whimper that was forming in my throat.Allowing the tears to silently burn a path down my face, I closed my eyes, my head leaning on the tangerine tree as I placed a protective hand on my still-flat stomach.I still remember

With Nate's sudden attraction to Carly and Carly being in the condition she's in at the moment.If Nate wanted her back, then he'd have to wait for that child to be born then he could do as he pleased with her.I guess that child was the reason I had the strange urge to protect her. I can't have Nate try to sabotage the plans we had on ground with his unwanted jealousy.Yes, he was her destined mate but he did reject her, the unwanted omega. Besides, it could've been any omega.If Nate wasn't comfortable with the plan he should've said something. So why was he now after? Was what Carly said true? Was Nate jealous of me?It can't be, we've been friends from childhood, he just needed his mate. Nothing biggie."I'm sorry my love but we'll have to take a raincheck on that."

  • Dare To Mate   Chapter 12 - LITTLE OMEGA

    CARLY WOODS POV The first thing my brain registered when I started regaining consciousness was pain. An excruciating pain that had me groaning. My hand shot up to clutch my head, in an attempt to relieve the pain even in the slightest bit.Slowly, the events crashed down on me as I remembered how horrible my morning was. To think my day started with a slight happiness.Nate had attacked me and then played it out to be my fault at his friend's arrival.The cold look Jace had sent my way probably was what made me pass out completely. Yes, I was injured and was losing more blood than could be considered medically safe and I felt dizzy yet I still fought to stay awake, I fought the hazy feelings but one cold look from that stormy sea-green orb made shivers run down my spine. I couldn't stand being on the receiving end of his anger so passing out was the safest thing my weak body could adopt to keep us safe.I tried opening my eyes but my lids seemed to be too heavy for me to manage.

    CARLY WOODS POV "Oh, come on I can't swallow another spoon of anything, I'm already stuffed up," I whine with a pout lowering my spoon in the wooded tray, stretching out my arms and body in an awkward position until I heard a few cracks. Hmm, that felt so good. As the doctor had explained I wasn't allowed to move around so my ankle could heal properly. But, me being me, tried getting up to prove that I was fine and ended up tumbling on the floor because of the pain that shot through me. Damn, I didn't know it was that bad. Since I wasn't blessed in the luck department, Jace had sauntered in a few seconds later to see me writhing in pain on the floor. To say he was furious would be the understatement of the century. He went all 'I told you to stay in bed' speech on me, telling me how I was trying to defy him which would only get me punished, and that he'd let this one slide since I was already damaged. "You either eat on your own or suffer through as I feed you." There was a warni

    CARLY WOODS POV In the last 5 days, I was stuck in a room with nothing but my mind to keep me busy. I wanted to go out, oh, how I missed the feel of the fresh evening breeze on my skin as I sat in the garden.Thankfully, the pain in my head had slowly died out and my ankle was healing fast, thanks to whatever medication doctor Allen gave me.Well, now I could move around with a clutch. Even though I couldn't shift, I still healed faster than a regular human because of my werewolf blood but I was surprised at how quickly my injuries were healing."I want to go out," I murmured as Jace was about to step out of my room. Jace came a few minutes ago to check how I was doing and I was hoping he'd let me go out for even an hour, I needed to breathe fresh air, I needed to feel the heat of the sun on my skin again, to feel the wind clashing against me as it whips my hair in whichever direction it pleased.Jace halted his steps, hand on the doorknob, shoulders growing rigid."Run that again b

  • Dare To Mate   Chapter 75 - THE UNSEEN MASK

    Fluttering my eyes open, I looked around my surroundings and realized I was comfortably sleeping in a clearing.Darkness was slowly taking over from the brightness of the day's sun and the warm breeze was also gaining a few cold streaks as the minutes progressed. The wind picked up its tempo whispering soft melodies that compelled the leaves and tree branches to wave, clap, and dance to the tempo the soft wind set as it swifts past them going wherever it pleased.When I left the Beta earlier, I had no idea where I was going but I found my feet leading me into the woods. I kept pushing my way further into the bush as the calmness and mysteries of the dense wood kept beckoning me.My puffy eyes ached from the sunlight that shone unapologetically on everyone and everything that came under its radar.Avoiding a conscious Jace and a possibly moody Addison was a smart move and I pat myself on the back for taking the decision whenever the thought of me going to see the Alpha pops in my head

  • Dare To Mate   Chapter 74 - DID SOMETHING HAPPEN?

    I plop back down in frustration and a burning urge to shove Nate off a cliff. I wasn't always this vengeful but that man makes me want to pull my hair sometimes.Ugh, the nerves of him. Who does he think he is, retrieving my things from the nurses to lure me into his bed?I'll get it back, one way or the other but I'll get it back, he just waits.Beta Ian and Doctor Allen were still in Jace's office talking about the alpha's health. Hopefully, they'll tell me what he was down with.Without knocking, I silently sneak into the small confines of my room that still had Jace sleeping in.I trod in slow and silent steps to the huge manly figure that barely fit into the small single-sized bed that was pushed up against the wall. His face was pale but relaxed and peaceful with no trace of his signature worried frown or the smile that usually crept up his handsome face. His soft caramel mane was pressed into the soft pillow."Hey, what happened to you?" I whispered, threading my fingers throug

  • Dare To Mate   Chapter 73 - A CUTE SNOWMAN

    There was a distant look on the Beta's face as we sat wrapped up in grave silence after I related what happened to them.I knew he was worried about his friend collapsing after a long night of rest."He'll be okay right?" I mumbled, sniffing into my fisted hands that took comfort under my nose."You care about him don't you?" Do I care about him?Did I care about the man who was ready to shove me head-first into the shallow waters of depression? He knew the level of damage the death of my son would inflict on me, he knew it would break me but he didn't care.He was all about how much he could take never concerned about the impact his choices and actions would leave behind.But, he cared about Addison and how hurt she'd feel if her child was taken if her child was murdered in cold blood by his father.Despite my hate for the alpha, a part of me still cared.A part of me wanted no harm to come to him other than his karma.If he should suffer, then I must consciously be the force behin

  • Dare To Mate   Chapter 72 - THE DOOR ISN'T TOO FAR

    With no other presence in the house, I focused my attention on the body lying in a weird position, one of his legs was stuck behind his butt, the other bent awkwardly by the knee. His left hand lay a few inches from his head, while the right rested on his stomach."Jace?"I was so scared for him to put into mind how he'd react to me calling him by his first name.Jace had shown how far he'd go to push me away by changing my room the very next day he commanded I address him as an alpha.I must say, I was hurt when I realized he cleared out my room and shifted my stuff to a smaller one at the end of the ground floor hallway.The window view of my new room wasn't as great as the previous one that overlooked the woods, this one gave a view of the mansion's thick and heavy two-leaf brass gates. "Jace? Can you hear me? Wake up!" I shook his shoulders but knew he couldn't hear a thing, judging from how relaxed the taut muscles on his shoulders were.Cradling his head into my chest, "Come on

  • Dare To Mate   Chapter 71 - WHAT HAPPENED?

    CARLY WOODS POVMy stay in the library made me feel good as I got lost in a romance novel I laid my hands on. It was quite intense and stimulating and I felt like sneaking it out with me.It was late in the evening from the grand clock that was attached to the library wall.9:27 pmI had to return to the safety of my room.I walked briskly down the large hallway that led to the ground foyer, my light blue Converse tapped against the floor, and my eyes hastily scanned through the ancient picture frames of all the past alphas of Brookside pack that were attached to the long hallway walls.With Very little time at my disposal, I made a quick dash to the kitchen bustling with omegas cleaning and arranging the place while some kept running in and out with trays of food for the in-house diners.I saw the middle-aged woman shouting out orders to her team on what needed to be done. "My goddess, to think it'll get better by the years." I heard the dark-haired woman mutter under her breath."Y

    JACE BALDWIN POVStorming out of the dining area that was the size of a regular restaurant, I found my feet taking me down the path that leads to the library, but I had zero interest in reading so I pivoted to the training grounds.A few men who enjoyed training at night bowed in respect as I padded toward the gym area. I needed some time alone, the privacy the open grounds wouldn't provide."Out!" I growled at those who were running the treadmill, lifting weights, or doing goddess knows what and watched in angry silence as everyone scrambled around the place like headless chickens.Matching forward to the red punching bag that dangled from the ceiling, I threw my fisted hands into its arduous surface. I was too piqued to acknowledge the slight sting of my splinted flesh. I needed to burn off some steam.I was doing this for her.The misery in her eyes when I asked her to not come before me for anything was something I never wanted to witness in her eyes but I had to for Addie's sake

    We all quieted down as we started with the heirloom tomato salad with burrata cheese and balsamic glaze. The sound of our silverware was the only sound that wafted amongst us.I had to give it to the head omega, she knew how to whip up a good meal. The silence was a comfortable and peaceful one. It feels like ages since we sat together like this for dinner. Just the gang.If Jace requested a full-course meal for our friends in silent apology, I wonder what he has in mind for me.A coy smile snuck up my face, as I shoved my fork into the heirloom tomato before bringing it to my mouth."We should go on a vacation somewhere exotic for a week. What do you guys think?"Ophelia's annoying voice cut through the peaceful silence that washed over us, my eyes slicing at her.Does this girl sometimes speak from her ass? We knew we needed to unwind after all that had gone down this past month but now wasn't the best time for that."Yeah, we'll have a full week getaway, sunbathing and tanning by

    ADDISON COBBLER'S POVI have to say, going to Lady Baldwin was the last thing my mind resorted to. Jason was gradually flipping sides without knowing the effects his action caused.I had sold a different story to the former Luna which she bought without questioning his son, then that little bitch had to open her mouth.It may not have turned out the way my mind played out but it was better than the worse scenario my mind played out as well."Take them all to the guest room on the ground floor, it shouldn't be difficult to get out from there."I stood in the middle of the neatly arranged room, the bed looked like it was pressed with a hot iron after it was laid, the tiled floor reflected my face from how clean it was polished out, and there was no single dust on any surface, even the massive wolf image on the portrait at the head of the bed looked glossy.The door to the closet was open and I had a few men gather everything from there to the guest room.Carly was too much of a low life

  • Dare To Mate   Chapter 67 - A FLYING PINK PIG

    CARLY WOODS POV I sat quietly on the kitchen stool, slowly sipping on the bottle of water I placed before me.It was eerily quiet in the house. Alice was yet to return from her leave, there was a guard or two situated outside the house as usual.I had yet to set my eyes on Jace after last night's ordeal which to me was pleasant because I had nothing to say to him and I didn't want to deal with the awkwardness that I was sure would zoom in with him.Bored out of my mind, I took a walk to the park and enjoyed the warm and comfortable scenery with birds chirping up ahead on tree tops, sun rays glistened the green blades of the grass. Few people scattered around the entirety of the park, it was a school day, and children and teenagers were all lost in the school's bustling hallways or classrooms or doing whatever made their stay there worthwhile.I fed the crackers I brought with me to the pigeons by the tiny pond while lost in the darkness of my thoughts.Last night opened my eyes wider
