Alisha's POV Morning came too early, but it always does when your up most of the night. I was super excited about my internship starting and ready to embark on my chosen career. Yet I didn't want to get out of bed , even though it was cramped with both of us squeezed in it. I called him last night and it didn't take much effort to talk him into helping me pack up the rest of my stuff. When we finished that we stayed up most of the night "enjoying" each others company. Alvan didn't seem to mind that he was my booty call. But right now Paola was going to be here in an hour and he had to be gone before that. I wasn't ready to hash out with her why I gave in and called him. She isn't going to let me forget this and I don't want to hear about it all the way there in that small car of hers."You have to go" I push on his arm near his shoulder hard, his body barely moves even with all the effort I put in to it. This man is a brick house of muscle, but I don't have time to ponder tha
Alisha's POV The two of us chatted the whole ride there, I gave her the run down on Alvan at least the few things I knew about him. He is here in Spain visiting friends and checking out the job situation here. There is no family back in Mexico and he is joining the pack in Barcelona if he decides to stay permanently. His visa is for a year like mine , he picked Spain because of his friends and the fact he knows the language. He grew up bilingual, that's why his English is so good. I took four years of Spanish in high school but even then I still struggle with some words. My brain isn't wired right I guess when it comes to languages, but I manage pretty well. I promised him that we could be friends, but after what she told be about mates and bonds I don't want to get too attached . He's not in the same city as me after today and a two hour drive is going to help with keeping the distance. I don't plan on us getting together again, that was just a fun last weekend and now I have to g
Alisha's POV Well I guess I can't stay out of trouble for thirty minutes, but in my defense it wasn't actually thirty minutes so maybe it wasn't that bad. It ended up being four hours , maybe a little more since we got out of that car. I lost track of time and so did Paola, we were having too much fun and that was part of the problem. Apparently that "little strip" of isolated beach wasn't quite so isolated once we made our way to it. There was a lovely little cabana set up and a private party going on with a group of humans from France. Nice people I might add, at least most of them were up until they weren't. I can see now where things went south, easy to do when your ass is parked in a hard wood chair in front of a desk with a very pissed off male wolf staring at you. No idea where they took my friend but I know it's somewhere in this police station. Yep that's right , we are in a police station or what they call Policia Municipal here in Spain. This is definitely a new low for m
Alisha's POV I can't believe what I'm reading, these charges are ridiculous, these have to be pack laws I've broken because there is no way these are the "normal" laws, well maybe one of them is. I'm pretty sure assaulting an police officer is a criminal action everywhere, but I wouldn't have done that if I had know he was a officer. My parents raised me better than that. But the rest of them there is no way, they weren't a problem in Barcelona.Even the wording didn't sound legit, Paola had warned me how backwards this pack was and now I'm seeing it first hand with this list of offensives I've already been found guilty of. The list wasn't long and I began to read each one out loud. I wanted to address each one with the Beta because I wasn't going down with out a fight or at least voicing my opinion.Taking a deep breath to steady my growing irritation with this whole situation and with a calm voice I started with the first one. involvement with male(s) who are not my mate or im
Alisha's POV " Your repressing my wolf the entire time I'm here, the whole three months? Isn't that a bit harsh for my first offensive." I just can't believe this is happening to me again. It was bad enough growing up wearing one when I didn't even know I had a wolf but now that I did I wasn't too eager to go back down this road again. I'm going to be just like I was before, a human in all ways with this band of silver on me. No enhanced senses , no shifting and no other supernatural will be able to tell what I am. My scent will be changed and I'm going to be hidden again in the world.I know how it works, this isn't my first rodeo when it comes to this shit. I'm not too happy I didn't even have any choices offered to me first. This so sucks, I was just beginning to understand that part of me and now it's gone again. As a temporary pack member I have to do what ever the Alpha decides, at least Paola isn't part of this mess I made."The Alpha feels like this is the best route
Alisha's POV I walk the two small steps it take over to the tiny cot , my open suitcase is empty and the contents were spread out over the blanket. Who ever did this didn't even bother with the empty case leaving it on the cot. How nice, I can't help but feel the sarcasm in the situation. I could tell at a glance that most of my things were missing, the only items left on my cot were my underclothes and hygiene products. EVERYTHING else was gone, including my cell phone and charger. That phone had all my contact numbers in it and I needed it to keep in touch with my family. I'm one of those folks who don't bother with memorizing numbers and now I'm screwed. At this point I figure that either one of the staff is a thief , that being very unlikely or my items were confiscated by this ass backwards pack. I wouldn't be surprised either way and right now I'm just too tired to deal with it. This day just keeps getting worse by the minute, and it started off so great. I let out a bi
Alisha's POV I was up for what seemed like hours reading through all the papers outlining everything about my internship here. I had no idea really how long I laid here reading but it seemed like forever, there was no clock or window in my little prison so time had no meaning. It's also a good thing these rooms are sound proof, Bianca shared that little bit of information with me during our tour, or someone would have reported me for my behavior.That perverted Beta would have been called and my unhappy little ass would be right back in that cell with him staring at my tits. I plan to avoid that experience again, it's not one of the highlights of my life. Just thinking about the lust in his eyes as he looked at my body almost made me turned off of men for life. Dirty old man in a power position over me, it was like a cold shower on my brain. I hope to never see him again.Yer here I was making all kinds of noise ranging from scoffing to swearing with every paragraph I read, each word
Alvan POV This is so frustrating , why doesn't she answer my calls or at least reply to one of the dozens of texts I've sent her over the last week. It's been five days since we parted and I don't even know if she got to Calella in one piece. She was supposed to let me know when she settled in and yet here I'm am pulling my hair out with worry. Her friend Paola hasn't shown her face around the city either, she's not answering any texts from my buddy who hooked up with her. It's like they both fell off the face of the world. I had heard rumors about that pack in Calella and none of them good. The males there run the pack almost the same as Alpha Jarlen did if the rumors are true. Assholes who like to dominate the females and treat them like shit. The short time I've spent with Alisha gave me a understanding of her personality and she is going to have trouble there. That female isn't one to follow archaic gender roles. Both of her parents carry Alpha blood and she had a strong
Alisha's POV "Are you going to get up" I poked Lucien's arm hard with my fingernail, yeah I know it hurts but it works so well."Ouch, I'm going to have scars on my arms from you doing that. " He complains with a whine, pulling the blanket up to his shoulder. " I wasn't planning on getting up , it's Sunday and we can sleep in. Go back to sleep""I'm not tired anymore and since I'm up you have to be too. " I attempt to pull the blanket covering his arm back down , it wasn't going to move with his tight grip on it no matter how I tugged on it."Stop that" he growled out at me in a playful tone"What if I don't" I shot right back at him , tugging even harder on the blanket now. "Last warning" was his replyThis was going to be fun and I knew it, there was no way I was going to let it go now. Using two hands now I threw all my weight behind it and pulled hard. He let go of the blanket at that moment and I flew off the bed onto the floor. I landed on the thick rug next to it with the bla
Alisha's POV The heat between our bodies was intense, nothing I have ever felt before in my life had even came close. It felt as if my clothes would melt off. Hot damn this man can kiss and when his tongue slipped into my mouth it was all over. I was ready and willing to go for it right here in his office. I don't give two shits about any rules anymore and the only thing I was interested in was finishing what we started last night. There was no stopping us now.I was so unaware of my actions I didn't even realize we had moved until we were on the couch that was tucked in the corner of his office. My body and his moved on autopilot now, eager to explore each other and fulfill this burning need deep inside. I was on fire and he was the only thing that could put it out.His body was pressed down on mine as we let our passion free. Hands roaming greedily over each other , touching and exploring intimate places. Moans echoed in my ears as the excitement built. I didn't think about what I
Alisha's POV Mom wasted no time dragging my ass down the hall, pulling on my wrist like a child in deep trouble. I guess that isn't too far from the truth right now. Except I'm an adult now and have been living on my own since I was eighteen. I didn't want to be treated like this.I dug my heels in and stopped dead in my tracks. One hand holding on tightly to the towel wrapped around my body as I tugged hard to free my trapped one. "Mom stop, quit pulling on me like this. I can keep up with you just fine. " This wasn't effective as she paid no attention to what I was saying and kept tugging on me hard. "I'm not a small child and don't want to be treated like one""Let's go" her voice was firm and I knew she was still pissed off about everything. Her fingers dug in even harder as she attempted to get me moving again. "Act like a child and get treated like a child"How was I acting like a child, because the way I see it my actions were pure adult until she blasted into the situation.
Alisha's POV His eyes were fixed on mine, watching me with the intensity of a predator . The normal naturally dark brown eyes were darker now and the whites were barely visible. The emotions he felt at this moment were raw and open , he wanted me and he wanted me really bad. That seemed to trigger a response from deep down inside of me, a need that I have never felt so strongly filled my mind. I wanted him too. Any thoughts of rules were driven from my mind at that moment. Fuck the rules I wanted my mate and my primal instincts weren't going to be denied. This was more than just lust, it went way deeper than that.Moving slowly towards the large hot tub of water I began to peel off my shirt, dropping it at my feet carelessly as I stepped forward. My eyes never leaving him, my desire for him leading my actions as I had his total focus. He knew I wanted him just as badly as he wanted me. Stepping out of my shorts , kicking my feet free they were quickly left on the floor the same as
Alisha's POV Lucien insisted that I shift back into my wolf form before his guards arrived, it went without saying that he didn't want them to see my naked body. Usually something like that would set me off, I don't like anyone trying to dictate what I should and shouldn't do. But this time I didn't argue with him, he had just killed four male rogues to keep me safe. He was ruthless in his attack and I just stood there watching as he tore them apart with ease. I was so impressed he could ask me anything right now and I'd do it without arguing. It didn't even bother me he killed four men, of course they were in wolf form and didn't look like men. Maybe if they had been in human form it would have bothered me , but right now I didn't give two shits about them. They wanted me dead and now they are. Reluctantly I pulled out of Lucien's embrace and shifted back into my wolf form. He stood naked in front of me without a hint of modesty. Nudity wasn't an issue with these people that was
Lucien's POV Alisha followed behind me as I led the way outside, neither of us speaking but true to her promise she stayed within the required distance but no closer. Once we got to the changing rooms she moved quickly to enter inside , once we were in wolf form the chance to speak was gone. I couldn't let that happen, there was so much between us that needed to be said and ignoring it was just going to damage any progress."Alisha, could you wait a minute please." She stopped dead in her tracks at my words, I could see her back stiffen. "Could you please face me, I have something to say. " that was a rule after all.She hesitated at first but did as I asked, her eyes focused on my face and for a moment I was lost in those eyes. Those emerald green eyes seemed to peer into my soul , making me forget what I was going to say. I began stepping closer to her automatically , not even aware I was doing so until she put her arm up to stop my forward movement. "What did you need Lucien"
Alisha's POV Does he want me or not?"It's wouldn't be fair to my daughter to be left in limbo waiting for your decision. " Dad's expression not changing. "You can't expect her to put her life on hold until you make up your mind. I need a better answer than that.""I understand that sir but it's not that easy a decision to make right now." Lucien is right, this isn't a easy decision not with the shit storm I've created around here, he had a hand in part of that too. "I know the two of you started out with a lot of issues but my wife and I think this is something that can be worked through . But it would take a commitment from the both of you to do this." Mom nods her head in agreement with him.Lucien turns his head and looks at me, the first time since we first came in the room. His eyes meeting mine again and I can't read his expression. His dark brown eyes stare into mine with intensity."What do you want Alisha? This isn't all on me, you have a choice in this matter too. Do you
Alisha's POV Why did I agree to do this?Oh that's right my Mom didn't give me a choice.My shoes made a small click each time the heels made contact with the hardwood floors with every step. The sound echoed in my ears and I chose to focus on it instead of the drama I knew was ahead of me. Trust me there is drama coming and everyone involved knew that. None of us where going blindly into this but I know it was set up with good intentions in mind. My parents wanted me to be happy and felt this was the right path leading to it. The fact Lucien went along with it was surprising, but I'm guessing he must have figured it was going to happen sooner or later. Bite the bullet and get over it kind of thing. We are going to be in his pack for who knows how long and it was unavoidable in the long run. He couldn't hide forever in his office and I couldn't in my room. We wouldn't be able to avoid each other the entire time. Maybe after tonight we can tolerate being around each other at times,
Alisha's POV Being the good daughter I am, at least most of the time, I did as I was told sort of. I really just wanted to hide my head under the covers and wish this whole mess away, but that wasn't going to happen. The "rest" I was ordered to do ended up me just lying on the bed staring at the ceiling contemplating my life's choices up to this point again. Something that I have been doing a lot recently, still no magic answer was found as to the why me question. My pity party ended when a soft knock sounded on my locked door. "Time to get up sweetie, I will be back in an hour to help do your hair. I have the cutest outfit for you to wear too." I could tell she was excited and I half wondered what kind of cute outfit she had picked out. Her definition of cute and mine were totally on opposite sides of the country. I chuckled to myself as I thought of some of the outfits my sister and I were forced to wear growing up. I have never been the frilly girl but knew how to put an outfit t
