Alpha CadenAs I stood among the other alphas, the weight of their condolences hung heavy in the air, each word a somber reminder of the loss I had endured. They offered their sympathies with solemn expressions, their voices laced with genuine regret as they acknowledged the passing of my mate."Alpha Caden, I am truly sorry for your loss," one of the older alphas murmured, his tone filled with empathy as he clasped my shoulder in a gesture of solidarity. "Losing a mate is never easy, especially under such tragic circumstances."The sentiment was echoed by the others, each one expressing their condolences in their own way. Some offered words of comfort, while others simply stood in silent solidarity, their presence a testament to the bond that united us as leaders of our respective packs.I nodded in acknowledgment of their condolences, grateful for their support in my time of need. Despite our differences and rivalries, they understood the pain of losing a mate, and their expressions
As I returned to my office, anticipation coursed through me, wondering what Aurora might have accomplished in my absence. I couldn't deny the grudging admiration I felt for her efficiency and meticulousness, traits that often left me feeling both impressed and exasperated in equal measure. She works with so much efficiency that I do not like it at all. Not a bit. She was so quick and meticulous in everything she does that I feel like she is going to make me eat my words. I thought arranging the files would be punishing but she finished everything with utter perfection, calmness and a fuck you smile directed at me. She is daring me to challenge her with a smile. The little fox. Pushing open the door, I was greeted by a sight that took me by surprise. The once-familiar layout of my office had been completely transformed, every piece of furniture meticulously rearranged to create a new sense of harmony and balance within the space. Gone were the rigid lines and star
AuroraAs I struggled to rouse myself from the depths of fatigue, a heavy weight seemed to press down upon my eyelids, making it impossible to open them fully. My attempts to speak were met with little success, my lips feeling strangely numb and unresponsive. Panic began to bubble within me as I realized something was seriously wrong.This wasn't just a case of feeling under the weather; it was a crippling fatigue that seemed to seep into every fiber of my being, rendering me utterly powerless. The last time I had felt this sick was during my early months in the human world, a distant memory now overshadowed by the severity of my current condition. It was four months ago, I have forgotten how it feels. I had been in the midst of rearranging the papers on Alpha Caden's desk, a task I had taken upon myself with a newfound sense of determination. But suddenly, a wave of dizziness had washed over me, leaving me reeling and disoriented. It was as if the energy had been drained from my bod
Alpha Caden.I walked alongside the doctor towards the elevator, a sense of unease settled over me like a heavy cloak. His nervous energy was palpable, radiating off of him in waves that set my own instincts on edge. It was clear that there was something he wasn't telling me, something weighing heavily on his mind that he feared I might react poorly to.I couldn't help but feel a pang of frustration at the situation. As an alpha, I had always prided myself on being approachable and understanding, someone my people could turn to without fear. But now, faced with the doctor's palpable anxiety, I couldn't shake the feeling that I had somehow failed in my duties.Where was this nervousness coming from? What could possibly be so dire that the doctor felt compelled to hide it from me? And with Aurora sick and disoriented back in my office, the tension in the air only seemed to grow thicker by the moment.As we stepped into the elevator, the doctor shifted uncomfortably beside me, his eyes d
Jim's words echoed in my mind, a whirlwind of questions swirled through my thoughts, each one more pressing than the last. Who had rejected Aurora, and why? How could anyone in their right mind turn away such a lovely and beautiful young girl? Were they as drunk as I was the first time?I couldn't shake the sense of disbelief that washed over me, mingled with a growing anger at the thought of someone causing her such pain. Aurora was a gem among gems, her beauty radiating from within like a beacon of light in the darkness. I knew most of the pack members then didn't like her for taking the attention of Lucas and Lilian but that was about it. It was nothing personal. It was inconceivable to me that anyone could reject her, let alone someone who was supposed to be her mate. The one person Moon Goddess deemed fit to be someone she spends the rest of her life with. Is he young like she is? Twenty two or twenty three years old reckless boy?But as I mulled over Jim's revelation, another t
AuroraMy consciousness slowly clawed its way out of the murky depths of sleep, the unfamiliar ceiling of the alpha's mansion loomed overhead, casting a disorienting haze over my senses. For a fleeting moment, a glimmer of hope danced in the recesses of my mind, whispering that perhaps it had all been a nightmare, and I would awaken snug and secure in the familiar confines of my cozy apartment in the human world. But reality cruelly asserted itself as I blinked away the remnants of sleep, the opulent surroundings of the alpha's mansion confirming that I was indeed still entrenched in the supernatural realm. That I foolishly came back to be with my parents only to see them for less than thirty minutes and they disowned me in those minutes. Ah, way before that, I was blessed (heavy sarcasm on the word blessed) with a second chance mate who loathes me and is making me hate him more than he does me. With a groan, I pushed myself upright, the plush bedding yielding beneath me as I sat o
The first light of dawn filtered through the curtains, I stirred from my slumber with a renewed sense of purpose coursing through my veins. The events of the previous day had ignited a fire within me, a burning determination to face whatever challenges lay ahead with unyielding resolve.Alpha Caden's declaration of war had only served to fuel my determination, to steel my resolve against the looming threat that now hung over our heads like a dark cloud. But if he thought for one moment that I would cower in the face of his aggression, he was sorely mistaken. If he wanted a fight, then he had chosen the wrong opponent. I don't back down from a fight and after I'm done with someone, they would wish they never knew about me. It seems like I have been too lenient on him. With each passing moment, my hatred for him grew more palpable, a festering wound that gnawed at my insides with every breath I took. The memory of his handsome, yet monstrous face lingered
Alpha CadenI stood before the mirror, meticulously dressed myself in my finest tailored suit, each crease and fold expertly arranged to convey an air of confidence and authority. I often heard that I don't have to dress the part because I always look the part even while dressed in casual outfit. Which isn't a lie. Flora used to say I was born to rule which is why she found me and liked me in the first place. Today was to be a day filled with a myriad of meetings and negotiations, each one looming on the horizon like a storm cloud threatening to unleash its fury. I'm trying to get to the human world and work with their intelligence though the top sixes are not happy about it. But do I give a fuck, nope. I couldn't help but feel a sense of trepidation as I surveyed the day ahead. While some of the meetings held promise for positive outcomes, there were others that I approached with a heavy heart and a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. I hope it won't be the one from the huma
