"I don't understand you, man, the rogues are attacking much more often and stronger than usual, and yet you still won't allow female fighters", Jake was telling him, frustrated."
You killed us with training like we aren't the strongest pack, imagine how strong would we be if girls could fight too?"
"Are you having a problem with the way I train my pack, Jack?" Kayden asked him in a very serious tone.
Although they were friends forever, he didn't allow anyone to tell him what to do, and if anyone talked to him the way Jack did just now, he wouldn't be alive anymore.
"You know that's not what I meant", Jake said.
"I allow Omegas to train, I treat them good, all, which you can't find in most of the packs", Kayden said.
"Yeah, just not the women, even Ella wants to train, but you won't allow it!" Jake told him.
"I need to train her myself at home", he mumbled to himself.
"You know my rules, and what you do in your free time is none of my business", Kayden said.
He didn't need to raise his voice, he was already cold and solid, because his face had no expression other than seriousness, and Jack didn't remember when was the last time he saw him smile.
"Now, come on, we have work to do, new warriors need to be trained!" He stood up and walked out of the office.
Jake just shook his head while he followed him, he would never understand this man, he thought, but even after so much time, he didn't give up.
He wasn't always that serious and cruel, as the other pack's called him, no.
Once he was different, but his life changed in one moment, and he became cold and distant.
He closed up his heart, changed the rules, and killed every enemy that stood up against him, gaining the title of the cruelest Alpha in the country.
Everyone was scared of him, except Jack, he knew the truth, and the fact that his friend was there somewhere, in the shell he created around him.
Alpha Kayden, the ruthless of all.
"Blake, please, you know don't like seeing you in bruises, even if it is for the pack's best warrior", Alora told his younger brother.
Blake smiled, chewing a pancake she made him.
Their father died as a pack warrior, defending their mother, and she couldn't stand that, knowing that her brother was one of them too.
A mother was a human, but their father was a werewolf, and her mate.
He was the best warrior in the Black Moon Pack, and he died defending the same pack.
They lived far from the pack, in their own house, where both of them grown up.
Alora was a human too, and she was thankful for that.
She was working as a doctor and didn't want to have anything with that mean Alpha of them, but as a werewolf, Blake was one of them, more than she would ever be, and she understood that.
She didn't like it, but she accepted it, just like the fact that he was living there now.
"Come on, sis, I know you're free today, come and see me, you haven't been there in a while", Blake told her.
"And see your ass kicked as if I don't have that enough at my job", Alora rolled her eyes.
"I bet Ella would love to see you", he played on the heart card.
She laughed hard.
"I can't believe you're doing this" " she told him, although it was a long time since she saw Ella, she visited Alora usually when she went into town.
She sighed, biting her lips, whenever she was nervous and thinking.
"I'll think about it", she said, gaining a big smile from him.
"Hold on!" Alpha Kayden ordered while Blake was fighting with the other warrior.
Blake was exhausted but okay, while the other one had likely broken arm, but Kayden insisted that he keep fighting, and Blake knew that.
They would fight until one of them fainted or gave up from exhaustion.
Only then, Alph Kayden would stop the fight.
Alora couldn't believe her eyes, while she was standing afar and looking at what was going on.
She knew that things had changed but now she knew how ruthless the Alpha was.
Who would say?
While he was standing in front of the fighting ground, shirtless, covered in sweat, with his short light brown hair and piercing green eyes, he looked like an Adonis himself.
The rage was growing inside her and she decided to put an end to this nonsense.
Even though she knew that werewolves heal fast, she couldn't think that Blake could be in the same place as the other one.
A gentle breeze was blowing, carrying all sorts of scents around as usual, but something made Alpha Caiden look in her direction.
His face paled and his fists clenched, while she was walking toward him.
Her blond hair was on her shoulder, carried by the wind, and her green eyes were full of rage, together with tears.
Her small but perfect body tempted him to take her there and now.
For the first time in ten years, he felt something like that, and it was the death of him.
The only thing he didn't want to happen.
He didn't want his mate to show up, not now not ever again, and what the worst part was, she was a human.
But, he couldn't imagine what she was capable of, even though she was human.
She was angry walking toward him and she didn't care that every look was now on her.
She was a woman on a man's ground, which was forbidden.
"You, Alpha, what the hell are you think you doing?" She asked him in an angry tone.
He looked at her, from head to toe, and his eyes stayed on hers.
His face didn't show any expression.
He had great self-control, life taught him itself.
"Yes, I'm talking to you", Alora said, pointing her finger at his bare chest, but she was confused for a moment, feeling tingling in her body.
What the hell was that?!
Kayden's eyes went black, but just for a second because the anger in him was stronger. "Take her to the dungeon, maybe she cool down ", he ordered. Alora was looking at Blake first, then at two men who were holding her, not able to believe his words. "Please, Alpha, she didn't mean it", Blake was breathless while he was talking to Kayden. "Oh, I meant it, just like I think that boy over there has a broken shoulder, and still can't stop fighting, because of someone's stubbornness!" She yelled. "That's why I don't come to see you fight in first place, I hate it!" She told Blake, angrily. "Alora, stop!" Blake hissed at her, warningly. She raised her eyebrow, looking at him questioningly. He knew that look, and that the trouble was near, but he had no choice, he wanted to protect her. "You know her?" Kayden asked him. "She's my sister, Alpha, she 's just worried, that's all", Blake told him. Kaiden's eyes narrowed. He was looking at her like she was his prey, and he was a pred
"This is my room", Kayden pointed at the big doors in the hallway, and this will be your room", he opened the door right next to his. "Really?" Alora asked sarcastically. As if she didn't have a hard time walking among all those people watching her strangely, and now this. "Don't worry sweetheart, I won't do anything you don't want me to", his voice was cold, but his eyes were black, which meant that his wolf was there. "You bet your ass you won't!" She told him, and his face gained an expression like he almost smiled, but no. She looked at him strangely. "Am I funny to you?" She asked, trying to process what she almost saw. "No", he simply answered. "Dinner is at seven, be there", he said and left. The room was awesome, modern, with a king-size bed, in a grey-white color. Big closet, big bathroom, everything was big almost like one whole floor in her house. "Screw him", she mumbled and go shower. "Oh my God, Alora!" She heard a scream when the door opened. She slept afte
Alora was in her room, angry that everything had gone wrong in her life. Why should she take all this crap? She could get away and start her life again, without this mate shit, but there was something that pulled her to him. Maybe it was his wolf or something, however, he didn't want her, Kayden didn't, so why bother staying when everything was so stupid? Ella knocked and came in with the food. Alora just looked at her and turned her head away. "Don't bother, I've lost my appetite", she told her. "Please, Alora, finish your dinner, Alpha will get mad if you don't", Ella told her. "What's wrong with this man, damn it?!" She said, frustrated. Ella sighed and put the tray down. "Listen, he's not a bad person, he just suffered much, that's all," Ella said. "We all suffered, Ella, but that doesn't gave us the right to be mean", Alora said. "That's true, but he really went a lot, especially when his parents died and he needed to take over the pack, you remember that", Ella told
She just started to take off her clothes, but the door opened and Kayden was standing, overseeing her. "God damn it, can't you people knock ?!"Alora said, grabbing the blanket from the bed and wrapping it around her naked body. Kayden's eyes instantly became black, his wolf wanted his mate. His eyes looked at the food that she didn't eat, and it could tell that he wasn't satisfied. "Why didn't you finish your dinner?" He asked, with his deep voice. "Why are you here?" She asked back, holding the robe tight. His eyes went green again, but there was a strange glow in them. "You don't have to hide yourself from me, I've already seen it all, sweetheart", he teased her, and she blushed. She just watched while he went closer to her, and she could smell his scent of wild forest after rain. She trembled. He affected her in a way that she couldn't explain, not to herself and she needed to know why, because those feelings were too intense for her, she never felt them, until she met hi
She walked with Jake toward the pack hospital, wondering what all those people think about her now. They were looking at her with smiles on their faces, and kids waving at her, and she waved for them back, but still...it seemed as if they were afraid to approach her, and she wondered if Kayden was the reason. They all knew everything already, even if it was a big pack, news spread fast when it was about their Luna. Hm. What a word, such a powerful, but yet, she was so far from that. Kayden didn't show his attitude about that matter. He didn't say what he wants for her to do, or what are her obligations whatsoever, so she couldn't think about anything now. The only thing she wanted was to work. That will keep her mind off him and his tantrums when it comes to her. The hospital was big, with good equipment, which was great, she thought. Doctor Sims was an older werewolf, but his look was stunning, which was normal for them. They lived much longer than humans. He was nice to
"I want you to change your rules", she said. " Why are people looking at me in fear?" "They smile at me, waving to me with their kids but they won't approach me, because of fear, do you know that?" Alora asked him. "What fear, you're not a threat to them", Kayden said, calmly. "Not me, you are, they are afraid of you, Alpha Kayden!" She shouted. "My people respect me, Alora", he said. "I have no doubt they do, but they are also afraid of you, and I would call that, respect out of fear", she stated. He got angry. "I've been their Alpha for a decade and I have never heard such bullshit!" He was shouting now. "Because they are scared!" She hissed. "Can't you see that?"She asked in disbelief. "What the hell you want me to do, huh?"He asked, waving his hands. "I gave them everything!" "We are the most powerful pack in the country, what else should I do, that should be damn enough for all of them, not to mention that they have their Luna now, which makes them happy, as I've hea
Her body was so close to him, that he could feel that scent she had in her... She stood so proudly and strong, and yet, she was so fragile that he thought if he touched her, she would break. They were just standing there, looking at each other, without any word. Kayden touched her face gently, trying to understand why he wanted to do this for the first time he saw her. He touched her lips with his, as gently as he could, to feel her sweetness on them. It felt good and right because through his body went a spark like he never felt before. She touched his chest to push him away but he didn't let her, and she gave up soon, when their kiss became deeper and passionate, and their tongues were exploring each other. He lifted her, and she put her legs around him, while their breathing became faster, carrying her to the bed. Whatever was between them at this moment, was incredible, and they couldn't stop. It pulled them too fast and too strong to each other, and they let themselves.
He was looking straight into her eyes. "No", he simply said and suddenly got up, starting to get dressed. He looked cold as ever, and his look was lost, like empty, and Alora saw that. "I asked you, and you won't give me a proper answer, why?" She asked, confused. "Because there's nothing to tell", he answered. "I just gave you my body and soul, and I felt you did the same, now this?"She said to him. "You get what you wanted so you are free to go, is that it?"She continued to ask questions, but he just kept quiet. "I'm sorry if I hurt you", he told her, with his serious tone. She was looking at him pale, in shock. "Are you sure that you hurt me, or yourself?" She asked with tears in her eyes. "Stop putting pressure on me, Alora", he raised his voice and left. She didn't know what to think. It was like she was talking to two different men, at the same time, which was odd. He was changing like the weather, and she couldn't believe it. Maybe she asked the wrong question at
Kayden was still in his office. He wanted to be in his room, next to the girls, but he had no strength now. He could lose it, which would be too bad because he felt Alora everywhere. "What are you doing here so late, I thought you went to sleep already?" Jake asked him when he came in with some papers. "I should ask you the same thing", Kayden answered. "You know I always bring the papers before morning, come on , man, what's bothering you?" Jake asked. He wasn't stupid, he knew Kayden too well. "I think I'll sleep here", Kayden said, dryly. "Really?" Jake asked with the same tone. "Yes", Kayden said. "Why, I thought everything was great between you two, especially now", he said. "It's not, Jake, and you damn know it", Kayden said, upset. "No, I don't, Kayden, what the hell is it?" He asked, concerned. "I want to give her some time to think through, but it's too hard because the bond is too strong", Kayden said. "I don't know what will she decide, but whatever that be, I
When they entered the house, Alora felt that nothing had changed and the same feeling of fear came to her. She was nervous. "Come on, I'll personally show you your room, Violet", Kayden said. Lisa was waiting for them with lunch and smiled when she saw Alora. Alora instantly came to her and gave her a big hug. "I'm happy you're here, my Luna", Lisa said. "Me too", Alora answered. "Everything is ready for you", Lisa said. "Thank you, I had no doubt about that", Alora answered. They were upstairs, and when Alora saw the room, she trembled from memories that came to her. They had a lot of good times there, especially when they made love. "This will be your room", he pointed to the room across theirs, it was Alora's once", he smiled. "I hope you'll like it", he told Violet. "Oh , I don't doubt it will", she said, and when she saw the room, she was thrilled. "I like it!" She yelled, like a child, and Alora and Kayden laughed. "Where is your room?" She asked. "Our is the oth
"You can't know anything if you don't try, dear, and if that would be such a bad thing?" Violet asked. "I don't know", Alora answered. "Tell me, what your heart saying you?" Violet asked again. "To go", Alora answered. "Then pack your bags, dear, because we are going", Violet said thrilled. She always wanted to see that kind of life, because of her late husband. He always talked about that like it was a big family and she always knew he missed that life, but he chose her. Even if he were in another pack, they would be looking for him, like some thief, because his Alpha was a cruel person, so he decided to live quietly, with Violet, and they were happy for many years. And, there was another thing. She wanted Alora to be happy, and there was no doubt that Kayden could do that. They were meant to be, anyone could see that, and she wanted for her to be happy because Alora deserved that. They both did. Kayden came into the house without a suitcase, it was always one on the plan
Alora felt like all her feelings were inside her, fighting. His eyes couldn't tell lies, she knew that very well, and she believed him, but also she was scared because he was right. She could easily give herself to him, here and now, without thinking of consequences, but he didn't use that. Kayden was different than ever and she felt that. She was mad at herself thinking how easy she was in his arms, under his touch, but he understood that and didn't blame her or say anything. That night he truly respected her, which was one more shock for Alora but also a knowledge more about him, which was a positive one. It was the Kayden she always dreamed of. Will he stay this way or it was just one of his games? Kayden took all the things and put them back into the trunk, while she was standing there, looking at the ocean. She felt his presence behind her. He hugged her from behind and kissed her neck. She trembled. "Are you cold?" He asked, and she turned around. "No", she smiled s
"Do you know how long I waited for you to open up to me, to change?" She asked in disbelief. "I know now", he answered, quietly. "I doubt that and I can't fight you anymore", she said pleadingly. "You can try", he said. "Once ,you told me the same thing and I'm ready, are you?" He challenged her. "Oh, don't you dare to play on that card!" She raised her voice. "I'm not playing, I told you I'm staying here until you change your mind", he said firmly. "God", she sighed. "What you want?" She asked directly. "A dinner, you and me alone, for a start", he said. She raised her eyebrows. "Really?" She asked, surprised. "You don't do dinners, Kayden", she said. "I want to take you to dinner, what is the problem?" He asked, and there was a smile on his lips. "I don't know", she said, confused, walking toward the stairs. "I can take care of Kaya, you should go", Violet said, hearing the conversation. Alora looked at her warningly. "What?" Violet acts naive. "You need to go out,
"I'm not sure I can do that anymore", Alora said. "I gave you so many chances to open up to me and you didn't want it", she said, looking straight into his eyes. "I didn't know how!" He raised his voice. "See?" You always do that!" She hissed. "Tell me, what stopped me to take ou now and bring you with me by force?" He watched her closely. "You can try, but I'll leave again until you prove me otherwise, that you have changed, which I doubt, because I'm sure Dana gives you all you need", she was sarcastic. "Is there a jealousy in your voice, Aora?" His deep voice made her shiver. "Don't be ridiculous Kayden", she blushed. He sighed, observing her. "Dana and her father are in prison, and they probably already had a trial for everything they have done", Kayden said. "His pack no longer exists, the prisoners are free, and some of them are in our pack now, some in others, and the rogues in dungeons", he explained. "I guess that's good", Alora said, with a hid smile. She was hap
Alora was at home after just 2 days. She was a strong female werewolf, but the doctors who worked with her didn't know that. It would be too dangerous for her, but it wasn't unusual that there were no her species in hospitals, and there were places that had them because they could feel each other. It was most of those who didn't want to have anything to do with a pack but also didn't make any trouble for anyone, and what was important was they weren't rogues, they just melted with humans. Violet was thrilled, she felt that Alora's baby was her granddaughter, and it was very important for both of them. She was named Kaya. It was similar to her father's name, Violet thought, but also knew that Alora wanted that. It meant that she still loved him, which was good, but sometimes, love wasn't enough, for some people. Sad, though. Kaya was a peaceful child. She eats, sleeps, and grows. Alora's nights weren't tough like for some other parents, it was like Kaya knew that she needed
Violet watched Kayden in shock, and Alora's blood was boiling. She was mad and upset seeing him there. He always did what he wanted, without asking her about it, like he owned her life. She hated that. "Get out", she said calmly. Kayden looked at her, surprised like he didn't believe what he just heard. Alora didn't even want to look at him. "I said get the hell out, I don't want you there", she repeated louder. "It's my child too, I have the right to be here", Kayden said, angrily. "Not if I don't want you to, I gave birth, not you", she said. "Sir, I have to ask you to leave, please, you can see your child later, if the mother doesn't want you here, you can't stay", the doctor said. "You are making a harder to a mother and a child", he said to Kayden. "I'll be back", Kayden said, before he left, upset. He didn't want to leave, but he had no choice if he wanted Alora back. He needed her to trust him again, and from what he saw now, she didn't even want to see him. His
He never felt that before, not with anyone, which was understandable, because they were true mates and marked. He always had his wall up, not wanting Alora to feel or see his feelings, and reverse. He was afraid, that was the real truth. He was afraid that he could feel more than he felt now, knowing that was impossible. He already loved her unconditionally, and now, when he felt all that she had, he didn't even realize that he put down his walls. It was so many different feelings inside him, now when he knew and saw everything about her, that it made him crazy. How could he be so blind? God damn it, he could rip his head off, now, he was so mad at himself. Can't this plane fly faster? He thought, frustrated already. What will he do now, how will he prove to her that it was all his fault? He made a mistake, letting her go by turning his back on her when she needed him the most. He was really cruel, like everyone called him, especially toward Alora. She was quite capable of
