Healing the Ruthless Alpha NINETEEN
“Please, let me go,” I said once we exited the office. He still held me in his arms, carrying me from the Alpha’s office in the pack house to the elevators. People stopped to stare at us as we passed and it made me self-conscious.“Be quiet,” he ordered.“Let me go!” I kicked and screamed when he tried to shut me up, fighting his hold on me as I tried to get off his shoulder. All of a sudden, his hand around me slackened and I stumbled to the ground, almost hitting my head.“You bastard!” I screeched before I remembered who I was speaking to.His anger siphoned the air in the atmosphere, making it hard to breathe. Bone-chilling cold made me hug my arms around myself as I took a step backwards but I could only put so much distance between us in a small elevator.“Say that again.” He advanced on me. His blank expression was deceptive. If I did not have the empathy of an omega and if I was not tuned to his emotions as his mate, I would have missed the danger whispering around him.“I – I

*CAHIR*... I – I reject you!I slammed my fists against the desk and pushed away from it. Those words – Those unsure words spoken with fear and hatred made my heart feel funny I rubbed a fist across my chest in annoyance and against my better judgement, I moved to the room where my mate was curled up in bed.My mate.At twenty-seven, I had already given up the idea of a woman tying me down. She-wolves were a hassle I never wanted to take on but this one –She had tears staining her face as she slept. Her brows furrowed and her trembling bottom lip stuck out. I brushed her hair back and pulled the covers over her.“Please, let her go –” She choked, her eyes tightening as she whimpered. “Rena is innocent –” She turned and a choked sob escaped her lips. Then tears wet her lashes as she grew more distressed.Fuck.What was it about this woman that made me want to shoulder her burdens? Looking at her so small in the bed, curled up and crying, I ached to find every and anyone who had eve

By that evening, everything was done. Cahir and Kade had signed a blood agreement and before nightfall, my mate was gone. I could not describe Asena's state. Her whimpers stung my heart and her mournful howls added salt to my bleeding insides. Knowing she was hurting more than I was and that I could do nothing to make her feel better made me feel worse.“It's okay. We'll be fine,” I told my wolf as I walked to the kitchen for a glass of water.How would we be fine?After Kade, mating became the last thing on my mind but Cahir came along and despite my better judgement, I found myself drawn to him.Second chance mates were rare but there was nothing like a third chance. Who would be so undesirable to be rejected twice and need a third mate? The goddess really made me the most wretched.In the kitchen, I met Felicity and Viviane having a midnight snack and a secret conversation. My heart fell when they raised their heads and caught sight of me.“You!” Felicity went red in the face, her

*KADE*I felt like a schoolboy seeing tits for the first time. The giddiness that made me want to smile like a goofball was all thanks to the woman in my bed. My mate. She was not asleep, that much I could tell, and I knew she may not sleep with me in the room but I hoped with time she would relax enough to rest.“We have her now. You better not mess up this time and mark her fast,” Flint warned me. The mutt had refused to speak to me for a while, going silent in protest of Sihana being mated to Cahir, but now, he would not shut up.“I won't,” I promised myself and my wolf.I had decided to make Sihana my Luna. Fuck, the thought made me want to howl to the moon. The goddess' kiss was not hereditary but no one in my lineage had it. Her great-grandfather had it so our children or grandchildren may have it. She could bring the kiss of the goddess to my lineage and for that, I was ready to risk having omega pups with her.My member hardened at the thought of breeding the petite omega in m

"Asena broke the connection from my end so our mate bond is severed as far as I am concerned," I shrugged at Kade's words.How dare this bastard open his mouth to tell me he loved me? This same man that bullied me throughout high school, laughing as his former goons would rip my books apart and shove me about? How dare this man who did nothing but cause me pain and humiliation say anything about loving me?He bragged about keeping boys away from me, calling it 'shielding' when, in reality, he did it out of wickedness to keep me alone. Who was he to speak to me of love when everything he ever did to me in all my life was to show me how much he hated me?I felt nothing but spite from him and I had spent many nights in bed crying because of him. He made me wonder what was wrong with me, why he hated me, why I was so unlovable. After my father, Kade was the next person in Silver Moon who could make me feel as if I was a waste of space whenever I breathed."Sihana Asena, I've wronged you f

"I won't do it!" I exclaimed but Kade all but dragged me to the pack's clinic. "I told you already that I won't help your pack!" I screamed as he drove but he said nothing. His jaw ticked and his anger made me flinch but I refused to back down.Not only did he put me on twenty-four hours of surveillance to make sure I never escaped the pack, he was now going to force me to use my gift to help the people who had been nothing but cruel to me all my life. The last thing I wanted to do was help people who would never help me."I'd rather die –" I started to say but he cut me off with a snarl."Shut up a minute." My mouth snapped shut at the command. "You're giving me a headache with your tantrum," he said. A headache? I wanted him to suffer more than a headache!We got to the hospital and a warrior opened the car door for me to get out. Kade held my hand and led me to the office of the director of the clinic. He was a stout man with beady eyes and a perpetual frown. I remembered when Kade

I woke up to screams and shouts and a frantic knock on my door. I rushed over and saw the warrior stationed outside my door in a frenzy. People were rushing out of the pack house as I came out."We have been attacked," the man informed me. I blinked twice to make sure I was awake and I hadn't heard wrong. Who would dare attack Silver Moon? As if hearing my thoughts, he answered, "The Eastline thugs are in the vicinity and causing a ruckus, setting things ablaze. The pack house is on fire as we speak so we have to evacuate."He gripped my forearm and stirred me with him while my brain went into overdrive trying to understand what was happening. I didn't see the fire as we went out but people were exiting the pack along with us."Sia!" I turned to see Kade jogging toward me. "Are you alright?" He asked, drawing people's attention with how loud he spoke. "The doctor said you needed rest so I let you be. I don't know why this is happening when you should be resting.""What is happening?"
Healing the Ruthless Alpha TWENTY-SIX
"Sihana Asena." I was staring at Cahir who had an indiscernible expression on his face. "You have arrived." The minute the plane landed on Alpha Blood pack, I felt both cold and heat rush through me. One could tell the strength of a pack's Alpha from the ambience of their land. I had gotten used to the ambience in Silver Moon pack but once I stepped foot on Alpha Blood, I felt power slam into me. At the airport, I could tell who belonged in Alpha Blood and who did not. The Alpha Blood members moved around with natural grace while the rest of us trod with care and caution, overwhelmed by the power in the atmosphere. Now, I stared at the man whose power made the air stifling. "Alpha Cahir Perseus." I had arrived and I felt nothing but deep loathing in the depths of my heart. While my wolf purred in satisfaction at being close to her mate once again, the human in me felt nothing but anger sprinkled with anguish. "Follow me." He turned and walked into a ginormous house even larger th

Healing the Ruthless Alpha EPILOGUE
“You smell fantastic,” Cahir burrowed his nose into my side. “I love this smell.”“You’re saying that because I smell like you.” And I did. He’d thoroughly covered me with his scent and he’d enjoyed every minute of it – I had too, there was no denying it but at this point, I was too tired to speak. My eyes drooped as he kissed my skin, his body heat telling me he wanted to go for a third round. My stamina could never match up with Cahir’s but now, I was heavily pregnant so I didn’t even try. In my second trimester, I’d become a horny wreck but these days, I found myself wanting to do nothing but sleep and sleep and then sleep some more. “I’m so tired,” I mumbled in a sleepy voice. “And my back aches.” “Do you want a massage?” His innocent words were tinged with heat that added an extra layer of meaning to his offer. “No, thank you.” I pushed up in bed. “Uggh, being pregnant is the worst,” I grumbled but then the baby kicked and I winced. “She heard that,” Cahir said with a chuck

We stayed at the hotel for a week while the Alpha Castle was renovated. That week, Cahir did not let me step out of the room. My temperature was high most of the time and we ended up pleading with the priestess to send the holy necklace to us rather than going to pick it up.It took a lot to convince the high priestess to entrust something so valuable to someone other than I, the recipient, but she finally relented and gave it to Laura accompanied by Sebastian. “Just touching this makes me feel so much better.” I sighed, rubbing a hand on the necklace. The other one I used to wear was sent back to the high priestess. “I’m glad,” Cahir said in a tired voice. There was a lot that needed to be done now that the battle was over. The number of casualties on our side was high. Corpses littered the streets, parents crying and mass funerals having to be held. There was also the matter of the sanction for the Greyson family. Their head had sponsored war on the pack so it wasn’t unfair to ha

Melanie led us out of the hideout after the shootout and my fire incident. We’d been discovered so we had to find another shelter. “The Alpha is unreachable. The only hideout similar to this which I know is east so we are going east.” Melanie informed us. “Here,” she threw clothes at me. I gulped when she mentioned Cahir being unreachable even though I didn’t want to think the worst. I changed as fast as possible into the black clothes Melanie handed to me and donned the baseball cap. “What’s the situation?” I asked when we got into the car. “Aristo is still on the loose. Five of the twelve packs under Alpha Blood have betrayed Alpha Cahir but the others have mobilized into action. Two borders have fallen but the Alpha has sent back up and they’ll be strengthened soon,” Melanie spoke in a businesslike tone. “Are you comfortable?” She glanced at my stomach. “Y – Yeah.” My heart pounded nonstop so I knew my blood pressure had risen. Catching on fire left my skin dry but the baby wa

*CAHIR*I was leaving my mate behind for the second time since this ordeal started. Unease pricked my skin and my wolf paced restlessly, more concerned for the safety of our mate than the safety of the millions of wolves in Alpha Blood. 'Are you sure she'll be fine?' Perseus asked, continuing to pace. 'Aristo, that bastard, you're sure he doesn't know that particular hideout?' 'I'm about sixty percent sure,' I responded truthfully, aggravating my wolf. 'He is the beta of this pack and he grew up roaming these grounds so there's every possibility that he knows the grounds better than me.' There was no shame in admitting that my beta was more familiar with my lands than I was – it was his duty to survey the pack and report to me, after all. 'Will Sihana be safe?' Perseus wanted reassurance but it was something I couldn't give him because I too had my doubts. It did not show on my face but I was terrified of leaving Sihana and the baby for a second, knowing my beta could find them and

“What’s happening?” I asked, twiddling my thumbs as I heard the stampede getting louder and louder. “Alpha, the dungeons have been opened!” Someone opened a mind link and forgot to channel it to only the Alpha so the whole pack heard it. “We’re going into lockdown,” Cahir said. His eyes unfocused for a minute as he mind linked the heads of various brigades. “Let’s go, Sia.” He outstretched his hand to me and I took it with a puzzled expression.“Where are we going?” I asked. “You’re going to join them in the hideout closest to us. I’m sending you with a couple of warriors so don’t be scared.”“Oh.” I swallowed. Unlike him, I was already scared, terrified out of my mind. “You’re crushing my hand,” he muttered and I got back to my senses. “Sorry,” I muttered with a blush. “I’m just a bit nervous.” As if my body wanted to show just how nervous, flames rose on my hand and then flickered out. “This happens when I’m nervous.” I giggled in a high-pitched tone. “Don’t be nervous.” Cahir

“What the –“ I gasped as the place went up in flames. “He’s quite meticulous,” Cahir said with a laugh, starting up his car. He had a carefree expression on his face, not like someone who just heard his best friend betrayed him and his pack would soon be under siege from more traitors. “You’re taking this rather well,” I commented. “It’s a bit funny. I never thought Aristo would betray me so I’m pleasantly surprised.” He chuckled. “And Alpha Blood which will go to shit without me yet they want to go against me,” he snorted. “It’s a funny scenario.” No, it wasn’t but I didn’t say anything. I fell asleep sometime during the long ride back to the pack and woke up once to drink water, my throat parched and aching. When we got to the Alpha Castle, Cahir was bundling me into his arms when I woke up. “Sleep. I’ve got you.” I snuggled up into his chest and went back to sleep. I didn’t wake up till late afternoon the next day and it was Cahir that woke me up, “We have to find a time to t

“Cahir.” I touched his arm when he got closer, my lips trembling. He wouldn’t hurt me – I tried to convince myself of that but it didn’t stop my heart from shaking when he got closer with a weird look in his golden eyes. I wanted to look away but I forced myself to maintain eye contact. Beneath this wolf coated with blood and with feral eyes was my mate, the love of my life and the father of my child. “Cahir – do you –“ I wanted to ask if he recognized me but I couldn’t. What was I doing talking to a wolf that was stalking me? What was I doing reaching out to a feral wolf? But that feral wolf was my mate and I couldn’t let him go. Never. How many people had he killed for his fur to be coated in so much blood? What had he done before he entered this room? Could I still get my mate back from the abyss of bloodlust that seemed to have wrapped vice-like grips around him? The wolf got to me and buried its cold snot into my neck. I went as stiff as a board. There was no single scent of

*CAHIR*“I don’t feel good about this,” Perseus mumbled after we bid our mate goodbye. Not only did I not feel good about sending my mate away when I wanted to have her in my sight every second of every day, I actually felt terrible. …I hate you! Those words she screamed at me haunted me till now. I knew she didn’t mean them, that she had uttered them in the heat of the moment, feeling hurt and betrayed that I went behind her back to plan this after I promised to never hide things from her. I knew all this but the words still stung. ‘Cahir, are you sure this is the best choice?’ Perseus asked, a gloomy cloud hanging around him as our mate went away. ‘It would be unwise to keep her shackled to our side at this point.’ I mumbled. ‘Greyson will attack in a few days and it's best she isn’t caught in the crossfire because I selfishly held on to her.’ It would be good to get things done and over with as soon as possible so I could have a peaceful life with my mate and baby.

“You’re not going to get away with this,” I added to my vow.“That’s a bit cliché, don’t you think?” Aristo chuckled. “You don’t love me yet but you like me so I can make you love me.” He sounded so confident, so assured that I would come to love a person like him. I went over our past conversations to see if I had somehow led him on, if I’d ever behaved as if I saw him as more than a friend and my mate’s best friend. I knew I’d never flirted with him so I didn’t need to think hard. Then why was he so delusional? “I’ll dress her. Leave.” He barked at Sebastian. The other man looked at me for a brief second before he nodded and left the room. “So many disgusting men coveting what’s mine,” he hissed, shaking his head. It was easy to reconcile the present Aristo with the Aristo I knew. I thought it was difficult, felt it was difficult at first, but it actually wasn’t. He behaved the same but what I had chalked off as overt friendliness and disrespect that stemmed from his overfamiliar
