ANDREA.
I've been here for two days now, and so far, Riley hasn't done anything to hurt me, at least physically. After his outburst outside my bedroom when he tried to kiss me, he acted as if nothing had happened. And it has been like that since then. We didn't talk about the pact or what his plans were, but he did take me everywhere around the territory, introducing me as his female.
I would internally flinch whenever he would say those words. and although a part of me wanted to defy him, I was scared.
What could an omega do against an Alpha inside his own territory surrounded by his loyal men? I was helpless. The only thing that could save me was my calmness and my belief that somewhere inside Riley was the good-hearted boy I grew up with.
I tried to be strong while keeping my distance from him whenever I could.
But in the solace of my own room, I would wallow in the pain of missing Caspian. I wanted badly to call him, but for what? It
I was told some readers still don't have Chap43 in their books. You can try by - deleting the book and adding it again (please make sure to add it back, lol) and it should resolve the issue. Please also be aware that comments are not visible for the moment, so if you were asking about the issue in the book comment section, I wasn't ignoring you, I just couldn't see any comments right now. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope those who were affected won't abandon the book because of this. ♡ Thank you again for waiting and reading! I know it's hard when our main characters are separated, but we will have the little rendezvous soon, so hang in there and everything will make sense in the end. ☆♡☆
ANDREA. Sweat formed on my hands as I stepped out of Jenny's car and stood at the front of the gate of a small gray-colored house. This was the address that Riley gave us. And the prospect of meeting my grandmother for the first time elicited a wide range of emotions in me. I couldn't, for the life of me, remember anything about her. My mother never talked about her or about my father's parents. I grew up thinking it was just the three of us. And I was okay with that. But now, standing here outside her home, I wish I had met her before. Then maybe I could have someone with whom I could share all my emotions and fears. Maybe things would have been different. I pressed the small button attached to the post of the gate, and I heard it ring inside the small house. I saw movement in the window as someone peered from behind the curtain, but I couldn't see through it. The inside of the house was dark. And then the front door opened. My jaw dr
ANDREA. I couldn't stop myself from crying as I sat beside Jenny as we drove back home. I was thankful that Jenny wasn't asking anything, so we remained quiet until we reached the packhouse. She parked her car, and my eyes darted to where Riley's car was usually parked. I felt relief coursing through me. He wasn't home yet. I didn't need to explain why I was crying. I stayed seated in my seat, just contemplating my next move. Even though I kept telling myself that there was a slim chance for an Omega to be mated to an Alpha, a part of me was still hoping for that slim chance. But all hopes were gone. "Are you okay? Do you want to talk or would you rather be alone for now?" Jenny's voice was laced with concern. "Jenny, how did you know Sebastian was your mate?" "I smelt him." "What kind of smell? Don't you smell me, Riley, or Aaron?" "Well, Aaron smelled good. Alpha Riley and Alpha Jacob smelled good too. I can sme
ANDREA. I slipped the phone back into the bushes. I have no use for it now. I was so optimistic a few moments ago. It seemed like I had the worst luck in the world. I wiped my tears from my face, but I couldn't stop myself from crying despite trying my best. With a bowed head, I walked to the back of the packhouse and entered from the back door. I was thinking I would never see anyone this way until I reached the stairs, but like always, I had tough luck. "Andrea..." Riley's concerned voice reached my ears as I tried to compose myself before tilting my head in his direction. He was standing in the corridor with Beta Dominic and Gamma Sebastian. Their eyes were on me, and they were all showing concern. I must have looked terrible, but I knew how I looked was nothing in comparison to how I was feeling. "What happened? Are you okay?" In a few steps, Riley was already in front of me. His hands rose to my shoulders as he gently chec
CASPIAN. I've been checking my cellphone for the hundredth time today, or maybe more. I was hoping Andrea would reply, but there was nothing. I wanted to call her, but I feared that Riley would find out she had a phone with her. Not knowing anything about what was going on with her was making me lose focus on everything. Paul has been stepping up to fulfill most of my duties, and I was sitting here in my office contemplating whether to call Riley or not, just to hear something about Andrea. Last night, my Beta found me transferring all Andrea's clothes and stuff into my room. He didn't say anything, but I could see the pain that crossed his eyes. For a moment, it made me feel unworthy of being an Alpha - I felt weak and vulnerable in front of my Beta. A female was making me weak, and she was not even my mate. Fuck that! Andrea is my mate! A low growl escaped my throat as I thrashed the documents on my table, flinging them everywhere an
ANDREA. I remained quiet in the backseat of the car that Beta Dominic was driving. He asked me if I wanted to sit beside him at the front passenger seat, but I didn't want to converse with him, so I declined politely and told him I wanted to sleep. He didn't talk for most of the ride, but he did tell me that he was thankful I insisted on taking him along. It turned out he was eyeing Alpha Jacob's sister, Janna. The same female I saw holding on to Caspian during Alia's union. The one I thought he was dating at that time. But I didn't tell him that. Less talk, less mistakes. I knew Riley was aware of my feelings for Caspian, but I wasn't sure if Beta Dominic knew. All he knew was that I was not allowed to meet Caspian. I closed my eyes as the memories of last night came flooding back. Riley kissed me. It was nothing like the other kisses he gave me since I came back this week. Last night was different. I could feel the passion and
We were so lost in each other's arms that we didn't even realize that I had left the door open, and someone was already standing by the door looking at us. I felt Caspian's body go rigid and fear washed over me as I snapped my head towards the door. I was afraid that Dominic saw us but it wasn't him. "Janna..." My voice came out croaking as I say her name. Janna was holding the door with tears streaming down her face. Her gaze was fixed on Caspian. It took a while before she was able to get a hold of herself as she mumbled incoherent words before running away from my room. Caspian let me stand on my feet as he strode towards the door. My heart clenched at the thought of him running after her. Did I miss something? Was there more to him and Janna? I remembered the pain I saw in Janna's eyes as she looked at Caspian and my knees started to buckle. I dropped my body to the floor as I let out a soft sob, covering my fac
ANDREA. "Faster!" Caspian's voice erupted in the air as I rolled my eyes before upping my running pace. I had been running in the forest non-stop for more than fifteen minutes now, and Caspian was sitting high up on a tree branch, watching as I ran around the path he created for me to follow. We'd been in the forest ground in the Black Shadow Pack territory since lunchtime, and my stomach was now growling from hunger. It has been four hours since then. It was a good thing I was used to going to the gym and taking taekwondo classes when I was still in school. I could keep up with his training. Well, almost. "I can't! I want to stop running now!" I yelled at him, my voice faltering as I panted, but I continued to run, waiting for his signal for me to stop. "One more lap and you can rest for a few minutes." "I'm dying! Can I rest now?" I yelled again at the top of my lungs. "Stop talking, then you can save your e
ANDREA. After Caspian and I showered, we went down the stairs together and headed for the Alpha's office. Beta Dominic had not yet arrived, but they could do so at any time. Caspian had to leave, and as much as I wanted him to stay, I understood that he couldn't. I just hoped that I would get to see him again and that I wouldn't have to spend days with Riley. But all I could do was hope for now and keep my sanity intact for Caspian. I told him what happened with the phone he gave me, and he immediately requested Alia to get me a new one. And it was now hidden in my luggage. He had also brought me women's boxer briefs and decent pajamas because he saw that almost all my sexy nightwear and skimpy underwear were left behind at his packhouse. All that he bought for me was decent and conservative, nothing that would tempt anyone, though he told me he would still get a hard-on if he saw me wearing any of those. Those small gifts he brought f
THROUGH THE EYES OF MY ALPHA Life has never been good to me. And just when I thought life couldn’t get any worse, the Goddess mocked me one more time and gave me a stubborn and difficult Alpha as my fated mate - who wanted nothing to do with me. But what do I have to lose? To begin with, I had nothing. So, leaving and forgetting all about him should be easy. It was until it wasn't. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER 1. NADIA. I was ready to start walking again when I heard twigs snapping and dry leaves rustling as big paws padded the earth. The sound was getting nearer as my heart pounded in my chest. Did somebody find out I was away and was looking for me? Or did a rogue smell me? I got up on my feet and started running, not looking back. I prepared Arrow to shift as soon as I gave her full control, but for now, I kept running, trying to focus on where I should be heading. My heart constricted as the sound of paws thudding on the ground became louder. I could feel the color d
ALBA. I stood on the balcony of the bedroom we were occupying at the villa. I watched the moon hide behind the clouds as the cold breeze of the night embraced my body. Not long after, warm arms wrapped around me from behind, and my back automatically rested on a naked, hard torso. "What are you thinking?" Paul’s asked, his mouth lingering on my ear as he softly kissed and nibbled it. "I was just thanking the Goddess for you. And for Patrick and Abegail," I answered in a soft voice as I tilted my neck to the side. I wanted his warm lips on my neck. "Happy Anniversary, my queen." He greeted me in a raspy voice as his fangs trailed down my neck, scraping my skin and sending sparks and tingles everywhere in my body. My eyes closed the moment his canines pierced through my skin, sinking it deeper to refresh the mark he had given me, which he never failed to do over and over again. Something I always looked forward to. "Ahhhh…" I whimpered and moaned as I smelled my own arousal. Ten
ALBA. I wiped the sweat off my forehead before I nodded my head to the female I was sparring with. "Thank you, Beta Alba." Selma’s head was still bowed down, waiting for my response. Instead, I walked towards her, my hand reaching for her shoulder, patting it twice. "Good job for today, Selma. We’ll do another round tomorrow." "Yes. I will prepare for that." She tilted her head up and looked at me, a wide smile curled on her lips. "Good. We're done for today. You’re free to go." I grabbed my water bottle from the side as she bowed down again before leaving the training grounds. "Thank you, Beta Alba. Have a good evening." "Same to you." I waved at her as I watched her speed off to the locker room. Selma was one of the females that I was lucky enough to be in charge of training. After I became officially the Beta Female of the pack, the Alpha gave the go signal to start screening females that we could train as female warriors. The number of applicants was small, and I was only
PAUL.I abruptly stopped in my tracks as my body stiffened. Alba felt it and immediately withdrew her mouth from my neck as her gaze followed my line of sight.Standing in front of the pack house was Young Alpha Lucas. Beside him was Alpha Caspian. Their gazes were on us, but I couldn’t read the emotions in the Young Alpha’s eyes.Alba wriggled away from my hold, and I finally set her on her feet. She looked at me, worried flitting in her eyes.'Relax. I’m here. We can do this together.' I nodded my head at my mate at the same time that I sent her a mind link.We started to walk together when I felt Alba’s hand reach for mine and entwined it with hers. I puffed my chest up as it swelled with pride. Alba was telling him who she had chosen, and I couldn’t be happier. "Lucas, what are you doing here?" It was Alba who spoke first, as Lucas’ gaze fell on Alba’s marked neck.But before Lucas could reply back to Alba’s question, Alpha Caspian butted in before he made his exit. "I will leave
ALBA. After the messy meeting with my dad, the whole day went by in bliss. As much as I wanted to spend time with my mate, the Luna and the Gamma Female insisted we go around the training grounds so I could be introduced to the females and warriors around. But it was indeed a good experience to spend time with Luna Andrea and Shilah. We were so different from each other, but I think it would make our lives together more exciting. Shilah was meek as a lamb. She would blush at everything and would dare not share anything private between her and the Gamma. Maybe because she was still young at eighteen. But Luna Andrea was eighteen too. But she was more outspoken and her confidence was oozing now, compared to when she was with Riley. Maybe because now she has Alpha Caspian with her and because she was thriving really well in this pack. And of course, there’s me. I have no filters. I was enjoying making Shilah blush every now and then while the Luna and I talked about how well-endowed
PAUL. "You fucking marked her!" Alpha Vesmont bellowed, and in a swift motion, he was already in front of us. I saw him raise his hand and was about to grab Alba’s arm harshly it didn’t sit well with me and Axel. A low growl vibrated from my throat as I wrapped an arm around my mate and pulled her into my chest, making sure her father was not able to grab her. "You’re not touching her, Alpha Vesmont!" The Alpha’s eyes dilated into full black while Luna Graciella blocked him, wrapping her arms around her husband’s body. "Please, Vesmont, calm down." Her soft voice was trying to calm him. "Calm down? She’s my daughter! I have the last say…" "She’s my mate! And Alba will always have the last say about her life!" I cut him off before he could finish his words. He ignored me and turned his eyes to Alba, his nose flaring as he scolded her. "This is the man you’re choosing? Lucas would have been a better choice!" "Then go mate with him!" Alba snapped at him. "Alba!" Her mother gas
ALBA. My eyes fluttered open as a sultry moan escaped my lips. Someone was ravaging my body and from the tingles and sparks coursing all over my body, it was letting me know that it was my mate satiating himself. My gaze fell on the window adjacent to the balcony, and I saw the moon was already high up. It must be past midnight already. I passed out by the poolside after we swam and ended up fucking each other. And from the looks of it, Paul cleaned me up and brought me to bed. I am a very sexual female, but my stamina was nothing compared to my Beta. Paul was a beast - he was uncontrollable once he gave in to his desires. "Paul…" My hands gripped the sheets tighter as his warm, wet mouth was wrapped up on my breast, sucking and biting my nipple while his hand cupped my pussy, thumb brushing over my clit, sending sparks of pleasure down to my core. "You woke up…" He lifted his head and smiled at me. His eyes were dilated into black and I couldn’t help but smirk at him. "You di
PAUL. My senses were slowly waking up, but I refused to open my eyes as I let a smile slip from my lips. I had a wild dream, and it was fucking amazing! I should be feeling bad that all I had was a dream, but a dream like this had never happened to me, so I reveled in it. With my eyes still closed, I lifted an arm and rested it against my forehead before I slipped a hand inside the blanket, reaching for my already-erected shaft. But before I could wrap my hand around it, my hand touched a small piece of cloth that felt like it was made out of lacey material. My eyes snapped open as I slowly pulled my hand off the blanket and saw that I was gripping a black thong. Shit! Did I fucking bring a female into the house? My heart thudded loudly as guilt washed over me at the thought of touching another female. Fucke me! I could only imagine the pain that I caused her. I almost lost my sanity thinking of what a fucking moron I was when Alba's faint scent hit my nostrils. My eyes darted t
ALBA."Fuck me, Beta!" My words came heady as my pussy throbbed under his touch.And just when I was starting to get lost in the abyss of ecstasy, he withdrew his finger from my core, and my body suddenly felt empty. I whimpered in protest before I felt my body being lifted from the couch. My legs automatically wrapped around his waist as he held me close and my eyes snapped open.What was he doing? We were moving, and the next thing I saw was a flight of stairs.Paul was drunk, but he had the stamina of a sober wolf, and he was running in perfect motion. In just a few seconds, we reached a room that I guess was his, and he just threw my body in the middle of a big bed.I gasped as my back hit the mattress, and even before I could recover, he was already stripping off his clothes and was now standing naked in front of me.I gulped as I took in all of him while his eyes did the same thing, devouring my body with his gaze.Paul was perfect in every sense of the word. He looked like a god
