BETA PAUL.
"Come again?" Alpha Caspian asked the female sitting on the couch in his office while I leaned my sides against the big window overlooking the garden at the side of the packhouse.
"I said, I'm willing to lend you five million if you help me out to get away from the Alpha who wanted to claim me." Lady Katarina repeated her proposition to Alpha Caspian.
Lady Katarina was one of the females that Alpha Caspian got acquainted with when he attended the Alpha training in their territory when he was fifteen. They were in constant communication after that until it wore off. Probably because of Andrea.
"What made you think I would take your offer?" His brows furrowed as he shook his head.
"I heard my brother and Alpha Riley discussed you and the money you needed. I didn't hear the exact amount, but Alpha Riley said you're just a few million short. So I thought I'd take the opportunity."
"Were they laughing at me?" I saw Alpha Ca
Hello, lovelies! The update (just one for today) came too late as I was having the time of the month and it was hard to concentrate with the pain. I know you've been waiting for Alba and Paul to meet, and I promise it will happen in the next chapter. Thank you for patiently waiting and reading! Thank you for all comments, reviews, and gems! Please don't get tired of throwing them in here! ☆♡☆
ALBA. The moment I stepped out of Riley's car, his scent hit me. It was stronger than the first time I smelt him. He smelled of cedarwood and mint. It was intoxicating, and despite the smell of blood mixed with the disgusting smell of rogues, I found myself getting aroused. My eyes scanned the area while keeping my guards up, and then I found him. In his wolf form. No wonder his scent was too strong. He didn't notice me, but I didn't mind as I watched him in awe. Time stood still and I forgot I was in the middle of the battlefield. The dark-grey wolf I was watching was skillfully maneuvering his body to counter the rogue attack. He was moving flawlessly, and I couldn't stop my heart from palpitating. He was... he was too perfect. Or at least his wolf was. I snapped back from my trance the moment I saw one rogue wolf launching in the air with his fangs out in the direction of my mate. My reflexes were faster than my mind, and I ju
BETA PAUL. I couldn’t help the smile from tugging on my lips the whole time I was fighting alongside Alba. She was fucking perfect! I couldn't keep my eyes from following her every move. I had never seen a female fight as flawlessly as she could. In fact, I rarely see females on the battlefield, especially not in our pack. We never had female warriors and we never trained them. But, given how effective and mesmerizing she appears right now, I believe we need to shift our perspective on female warriors. With the right training and guidance, they could be on par with our finest male warriors. "Focus on the rogues and not on my ass, mate!" She winked at me before doing a somersault to reach the next rogue on her target. I shook my head and put my whole focus on eliminating the enemies, but made sure my eyes were still checking on her from time to time. I didn’t want anything bad to happen to her, not even a scratch if I could avoid it.
BETA PAUL. I pushed the door open to the infirmary room where Alpha Riley was taken. According to the doctor that checked on him, the healer was able to place the antidote for silver and his body was responding well. His wounds on both ends were also healing. He was of pure Alpha blood and his wolf was protecting him. They knew he was safe, but it might take a while for him to wake up because the silver had poisoned him from the inside, and healing from the inside takes longer than healing from the outside, which heals almost instantly. I saw Alba pacing the room back and forth, one arm crossed against her stomach and one hand pinching her lower lip. She was in deep thought. She must have felt my presence or smelled me because she turned abruptly towards the door, guilt flaring in her eyes, and it left me confused. Guilt? For what? For Riley or for us? But we didn’t do anything wrong, except we flirted while we fought against the rogues. Did she feel guilty that Riley was attack
ANDREA. I just got off the phone with Gamma Carlos. He told me what happened during the attack and assured me that Caspian was safe. I would have wanted to speak with Caspian, but he was nowhere near the packhouse. Gamma Carlos told me the Alpha was everywhere to appease the pack and to make sure the injured were getting their treatment, including Riley. Riley. I was thankful that Caspian was unharmed, but finding out that Riley was critical didn’t put me at complete ease. I knew I hated him for all the things that he was doing, but I didn’t want him dead, not this way. He might be behaving badly because of me, but I knew, and I believe, deep inside him, there was still the Riley I knew. The fact that he showed up and assisted Caspian’s pack was enough proof that he still has goodness in him. And I prayed to the Goddess to give him another chance so he could rectify his mistakes. The door to Riley’s office opened an
ANDREA. Riley waking up was the continuation of the nightmare I was trying to keep running away from. His eyes were telling me that this time he would not back down and would claim me as his Luna by the full moon. I didn’t have time to respond or object to his words because nothing I could say would change his mind. I bolted out of the door and ran away. I heard him call after me before a loud grunt vibrated from his throat. His wounds might be paining him, but I didn’t give a fuck. I was so done with his manipulation and the thought that having a near-death experience might have altered his mindset vanished into the thin air. The Riley I knew was gone, replaced by a heartless, manipulative Alpha. The last two days went by in a blur. I stopped receiving calls from Caspian. I knew nothing about the outside world. I feel more constrained now. Jenny goes wherever I go. And although we talked and we trained a lot, I cou
GAMMA SEBASTIAN.I looked at the big clock hanging on the outside wall of the training building. It was five minutes past seven in the morning.I grabbed my shirt and pulled it on over my body before mindlinking my second in command that I would be leaving the training ground now.I wanted to talk with Riley. I was so fucking pissed off with him right now that him being my Alpha could do nothing to stop me from letting him know how I felt.He was acting like a fucking teenager with hormonal issues and not the fucking Alpha that he was.Last night, Andrea came knocking on our door in the middle of the night. Her eyes were puffy and she looked like she had been crying for hours. Jenny told her she would accompany her back to her room and they could talk there. But she refused. She didn’t want to be anywhere near Riley’s room right now, which was, of course, just beside hers.So I left them so they could talk freely, only to c
I grabbed my silk robe and wrapped it around my almost naked body, tying it up tightly. I loosened my hair from its ponytail and walked towards the door. My heart was beating loudly as I opened and slipped out of it, dragging my feet to Riley’s room. I didn’t even have to knock, the door just opened and Riley was behind it. His chest was naked and he had only his sweatpants on. His hair was still dripping wet, telling me he had just got off the shower. His eyes raked my whole body up and down, but his eyes were showing no emotions at all. I kept my mouth shut and entered his room, stopping at the foot of his bed. I tried to hold my head high as I turned around to face him, doing my best not to show any weakness, but I was sure that he could hear my heartbeat thudding loudly. I smiled weakly at him. "Can we do it with the lights off?" He didn’t say anything, but he went to open the side lamps and dimmed them before turning o
ANDREA. I didn't realize how long I’d been sitting outside Riley’s door. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t think. And then I heard small, soft footsteps getting louder by the second. Someone was coming. I sucked in a hard breath, slowly lifting my tear-stricken face to see Jenny approaching. Her eyes started to water as her gaze fell on my miserable state. She kneeled in front of me and cupped my knees, still pressing against my chest. "The Alpha asked me to pick you up." I didn’t say anything. I was just looking at her. My tears kept falling. "Did he touch you?" She asked in an almost inaudible voice, biting her lower lip to stop it from quivering. "No…" I said, shaking my head, and her soft sobs finally escaped her throat as she pulled me into a tight hug. "Oh, Goddes, Thank you!" Jenny cried as we held on to each other as more tears streamed down my face. "Sebastian and I were already going ballistic. I d
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
