“You did good,” Cahir commended as we entered our luxury suite. “You think?” If I had a tail, it’d be wagging but no matter how much I tried to hold back my happiness, it couldn’t be helped. The part of me that was starved of affection and validation surfaced despite how I tried to hide it.“Your smile is pretty.” An unfamiliar warmth spread through me, and then that fluttering in my stomach started back up.“T – Thank you.” I ducked my head for no apparent reason but then I raised it back up, feeling ridiculous.“I should make you smile more often,” he muttered to himself but those words made meblush even more. “Now you see I am not useless, after all.” The words slipped from my mouth with no thoughts as I tried to understand why I felt like hiding behind my hair from what he said.I was deep in thought when I noticed the uncomfortable silence in the room and felt a gaze piercing my face. Raising my head and pushing my hair from my face, I met Cahir’s eyes boring into me.“Who said

I was surfing on a cloud. Life couldn’t be better. My vacation turned out better than I expected. Who would have thought that the person I was running from would be the same person to make the vacation worth it?“This will be your first bargain,” Cahir reminded me. As if I could forget.It was time for me to cash in on Alpha Malachi’s blank check. I’d prefer to wait until the end of our vacation but delaying things would make me look indecisive and that was not a good look for me.“Yes, and I’m buying up shares in the FT Hotels. And because an attack against me is an attack against my pack, Alpha Blood has to receive something,” I replied.“Foreigners can’t own more than one percent share of FTH but we’re going for twenty. Start as high as you can but don’t go lower than twenty,” Cahir advised. “Entering their market with Wolf’s bane is a bargain they may not accept but pitch it anyway.” I nodded at his advice. I hoped not to fuck it up but as Cahir said, I had nothing to lose.“Luna

*CAHIR*"You're doing it again," Perseus said while I worked."What am I doing?" Without Aristo, there was an even larger backlog of work to be dealt with. Who even knew where that bastard was?"You every minute asshole," Perseus said. "And worrying our mate. Isn't it better to tell her what's wrong?""What's wrong?" I wished the mutt would shut up but my wolf was an inner voice that could not be silenced."Are you going to pretend you haven't reverted to being standoffish since we returned? You're going to make her misunderstand us again and who knows, maybe when she leaves this time, we won't be able to find her!" He shouted, his patience running thin."Darn it!" I pushed away from my desk, feeling my head ache from all the things flying through my mind at the same time.I wasn't even sure why I felt this way but I did. After so many years, I was supposed to get over this insane feeling but Alpha Blood still put a bad taste on my tongue. The taste became unnoticeable after a while b

I wasn’t lying when I said I asked Aristo to return to the pack. Although I wasn’t sure I had the authority to undo Cahir’s command, I realized I had sat back and watched for too long and Cahir, it seemed, wasn’t someone I could let continue to do as he pleased. He was an Alpha, he was used to people doing as he asked them to but I didn’t want to live like that.Someone had to take the first step in this relationship and I had been too scared to do it all along, expecting to receive the same hatred I had received all my life but this time, since our misunderstandings had been cleared up, I should at least try.“Sihana –“ He started in a grave voice. An unfamiliar expression flickered in his eyes as I stood facing him with my hands on my hips. I swallowed, feeling heat at the back of my neck from the heaviness of his gaze.“Cahir – I –“ My hands shook so I lifted them from my hips and crossed them underneath my chest. “On the island, it was the first time since I felt – somewhat close

I swallowed.The signs were there but it was impossible to imagine an Alpha hating a pack he sacrificed his blood and sweat to protect. His pack. His home. His people.“Don’t look so surprised.” He laughed but the sound had no shred of humour in it. “The air in this land makes my skin crawl. I hate it.”“Is that – Is that –“ I stuttered. I pressed him so much for what was going on with him and now that he opened up, I didn’t know what to say. What do you say to someone who confessed a taboo topic?“I understand,” I said, my vocal cords finally working. “I understand how you feel.” He regarded me with eyes that concealed his emotions.“Do you?” Even his tone was devoid of emotions but it didn’t stop me from nodding.“I don’t know the full details of what happened with Alpha Boston but I know enough to understand.” It was subtle, but I saw him flinch when I mention the name of the dead Alpha. “It’s remarkable that you chose to lead these people despite everything you had to go through.”

“I’ll see you at home,” he said, giving me the sweetest smile I’d ever seen. His lips were red and swollen with his eyes hooded. The expression on his face coupled with his dishevelled hair had to be the most erotic look ever.“O – Okay.” I turned with my head in the clouds and walked out of the office like a robot unable to resist the command.Walking out of the office, one or two people greeted me and I responded from somewhere far in my consciousness. I went down the elevator with the same dazed expression on my face and a blankness in my head.It wasn’t until I got to the lobby that I realized I’d been scammedCahir Armani –I laughed when I realized just what happened. He kissed me so well, so thoroughly that I forgot my mission.“You won this round but you don’t know how persistent I am,” I muttered to myself.It could be called my greatest weakness – I didn’t know when to stop. It was the reason why, despite how cruel Silver Moon treated me, I still persisted for years in my qu

My heart stuttered but I lifted my chin and planned to walk past them Felicity grabbed my arm before I could pass. I turned right as disgust clouded Avalon’s expression.“Why are you stopping her? Let the bitch go.” She yanked Felicity‘s hand off mine.Calm down, Sia. They can’t hurt you anymore. You’re no longer in a place where they can put their hands on you without facing the consequences.The little mantra I repeated in my head worked but not completely. I had faced this same situation a hundred and one times. Throw in their other friend, Viviane, and it would be a clique of my bullies.They can’t make your life a living hell anymore.“Don’t ever put your hands on me again,” I said to Felicity. She had an apologetic expression on her face but I knew her too well to fall for her tricks.At one point in my life, Felicity had come to me and tried to befriend me. She badmouthed Avalon and Kade, telling me how much she hated them but was forced to endure their presence because of thei

"Sihana." Cahir glared at me. It was best for me to do as he said, to go home and continue to live quietly, but as they dragged Sebastian away while I watched, I didn't think I could ever be comfortable sitting at home and looking, not knowing what had or would happen to him."Cahir – I – I –" I wasn't a brave person. Courage and I didn't fit in the same sentence but then, I didn't want to back down. I forced myself to hold my ground as I watch my mate's countenance worsen but I shook my head still."Sihana Asena," he growled. I feared he would use his Alpha command to send me home and then I would have no choice but to comply but he only glowered at me.We stood there as a boy and girl rushed over with cleaning materials. They said their greetings and started to clean Sebastian's blood off the floor while Cahir glared at me.I should give in but I didn't want to because I knew this was my fault. I dragged Sebastian with me on that vacation. He never wanted to go but I dragged him and

“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
