IN THE ARMS OF MY ALPHA
A growl revibrated from his chest as my dress fell down and pooled on my feet.
I was completely naked and I could see my Alpha's eyes shifting into full obsidian black. He wanted me. And that was all that mattered tonight.
I let a seductive smile curve on my lips, hiding the nervousness I felt inside. It was now or never. "I'm all yours, Alpha..."
"Get dressed! And get out!" His breathing became hitched as his gaze swept all over my naked form.
I walked towards him, biting my lower lip as I slowly unbuttoned his shirt, ignoring his anger. He would have pushed me away if he didn't want this, but he didn't.
Instead, he moved swiftly and pinned my body against the wall, with my arms over my head.
"Is this what you want, Andrea?" His voice came out hoarsely. His breath was brushing against the skin of my neck, sending pleasurable tingles in between my thighs as he pressed his bulging front onto my wet core.
I stared back at him, my eyes boring deep into his. "I want you, Caspian..."
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
In a world where Alpha Females are pawned for the Claiming, being an Omega Female is considered to be a blessing. Andrea was born and raised as an Omega and has the freedom to choose whether to be claimed by her mate or be someone else's chosen. And so she thought, until the reality of her past came hunting her.
Alpha Caspian knew from the very beginning that he wanted Andrea, whether they were fated mates or not. But by the time he was ready to make amends for sending her away when she was 15, a secret from her past resurfaced.
But will he let her go this time? Or is she worth fighting for?

Andrea - 12 years oldCASPIAN
I was sitting on a boulder in a meadow, overlooking the whole territory that belongs to the Silver Moon Pack. I was just here with my father to visit his friend, but since I had nothing to do here, I decided to check the forest ground and ended up in this place.
To say that this place was beautiful would be an understatement. It was magnificent. It reminded me of the hillside in our own territory that I visit often. So even if this place wasn't ours, I felt solitude here. It felt like home.
My eyes were busy scoring the whole area when I heard movement from my back in the bushes a few feet away. Leaves rustled and small footsteps thudded against the ground. I turned my head back. It wasn't long before a small figure emerged from the bushes, panting from all the running.
Andrea.
Her big doe eyes widened at the sight of me, and I could see apprehension flashing in them. I offered her a welcoming smile, letting her know that she was in a safe place with me.
"Hey! Come here! Are you okay?" I motioned with my hand, asking her to come over.
"What are you doing here?" She asked with a soft voice. Her gaze was everywhere except on my face.
"Hiding from the world. And you?" I chuckled, but it was the truth.
"Hiding from Riley. He wanted to play board games with me, and I said I didn't want to, but he keeps coming to me." She let out a deep sigh before standing in front of me. "Is it okay if I sit there?" She asked politely, her finger pointing at the space beside me.
My eyes shifted to the space beside me as I inched to the other side to give her space. "Of course, why not? I don't own this place."
"Papa said you'll be the next Alpha, just like Riley and I must be respectful around you..." I just chuckled at her words and didn't say anything, just patted the space beside me.
"Where is Alia? I was hoping to play with her today." She asked as she sat beside me.
"We couldn't wake her up early and we didn't have time to wait for her, so we left without her. But I'll tell her that you looked for her and maybe next time she'll wake up early."
She just nodded her head, "Is it nice in your territory?"
"Yes, I love it there." My answer was from the heart.
"I want to go there... Will you take me?" She asked innocently enough that I couldn't help but grin at her.
"I can't just take you. You need to go there with your father."
She opened her mouth to say something, only to close it when a voice erupted in the air.
"Andrea! Andrea!" I knew that voice, and I just shook my head in annoyance.
Andrea's eyes widened as she stood up from the boulder and started pacing back and forth in front of me. "Riley is coming..." she said in a hushed voice, and I wasn't sure if she was saying it to me or herself.
"I need to hide..." she said, and the next thing I knew, she was already beside a big, tall tree and was trying to climb upon it.
"You know, he can still smell you, even if you hide up there," I told her in a low voice, watching as she attempted to climb with no success.
She didn't say anything, but she kept trying to climb, and when I couldn't bear seeing her slide down too many times, I stood up and rushed beside her.
I grabbed her small waist and pressed her body closer to mine. She let out a hushed gasp before she wrapped her legs around my hips and snaked her arms around my neck.
I climbed the tree flawlessly, which I've done too many times during my Alpha training. I didn't stop climbing until we almost reached the highest point, but it was far enough that our scent wouldn't linger on the ground.
Her face was so close to mine that I could smell her sweet cinnamon breath.
I was trying to control my wolf, Zion. He kept on growling in my head and wanted to surface. Like me, he was enamored by Andrea's sweet scent.
Being the firstborn of pure-blood Alpha parents, I shifted on the last full moon before I turned 15. It was an ordinary occurrence for the next Alpha, and it was the same reason that I had to go far up in the tree.
Riley was already 16 and the next Alpha of this pack. It means that he has a wolf as well and would be able to smell us if we were nearby.
Andrea's clutch on my neck tightened as the rustling of leaves and snapping of twigs were heard. It wasn't before long that Riley's form came into view below us. He was sniffing the air, and I had a gut feeling that he had caught our smells. I was just hoping it would be too faint for him to move on and search somewhere else.
Andrea was still tightly clinging to my neck until she lowered her head at the nook of my neck. Her breath was running on my skin, and I was doing everything I could to restrain myself from taking advantage of our position. She was only twelve. And yet, she was making me feel something I had never felt before.
I closed my eyes and tightened my grip on the branch I was holding while my other hand was keeping her steady in my arms.
It was then that I realized how perfectly she fit in my arms as if she belonged there as if she belonged with me.
"Is he gone?" Andrea's soft voice snapped me out of my thoughts and made me open my eyes. Her eyes were staring at me as if her life depended on me.
"Let's wait a couple of minutes before we go down." She just nodded and rested her head on my neck again.
I let out a deep sigh before asking her, "Are you comfortable or do you want me to adjust our position?"
"I'm okay, Caspian. It actually feels good here." Her sweet voice reached my ears, and I couldn't help but smile widely while my heart fluttered with happiness.

Hello, lovelies!These are the additional chapters/content that were added to the paperback version and can be bought on A M A Z O N. But I'm also loading it here for you to enjoy 💛CHAPTER 55.5 - CONTINUATION FROM CHAPTER 55JANNA.I was already by the stairs when I heard footsteps following me, and I knew it was Aaron.I was about to continue to the third floor when he grabbed my waist, yanked me up onto his shoulder, and made a detour toward his room on the second floor."Aaaah! Let me go!" I wriggled my body to get away from him, but I knew it would be futile, as always."What the fuck was that? Can we discuss it first before you say it's non-negotiable?" His voice was showing displeasure, and I just closed my eyes and shut my mouth, waiting until we reached his room.Aaron dropped my body on the mattress before he placed his hands on his hips as he stood at the foot of the bed. A scowl formed on his face before he spoke. "We can't make decisions without consulting each other. W
LUNA CLAIR. “Hi, Mommy!” I spoke with a broken voice as I fought my tears from falling, but they fell anyway. “I made cupcakes for you. They were not as good as yours, but I made them with all the love and longing I have for you.” Jake’s arms wrapped around me as he held me tightly while my fingers brushed on the flat headstone with Mom's name on it. “I miss you so much, but I know you are happy, right? Because Aaron and I found our mates, and they’re lovely. And they're siblings! So we don’t need to be separated from each other. We can stay together until we’re old and gray, like what Aaron would always say.” I tried to talk clearly, but my sobs were getting in the way. “Mommy, I got mated to Jake. Remember, you kept telling me to convince Jake that being a fated mate was not a bad thing? I did my best. He was so hardheaded, but I finally made him realize there was no better option than his fated mate.” My hands flew to my face as my cries got louder. “I wish you were here, Mommy
A year ago. AARON. "Oh, please Jacob, not him! Where is Beta Gavin?" Janna shrieked at her brother the moment I stepped out of my big truck. Her eyes were narrowing at her brother, and I was sure displeasure was flashing in them. "Beta Gavin is probably in bed, pleasing his mate. But if you want to disturb them, be my guest. I can drive you over to his parents’ house." I answered, annoyed, as I slipped my hands into my jeans pocket, watching as her squinting eyes shifted on me. "Aaron!" My sister Clair, also the Luna of this pack, gasped at my response, while Alpha Jake snickered before pulling his sister into a tight hug. "I could have explained it better, Janna. But the Gamma was right. So, unfortunately, you’re stuck with him." He answered in a coy manner. "Can somebody else drive me? Maybe he’ll throw me off somewhere." She groaned. Janna and I didn’t have a good history. We’ve been at each other’s throats since the first day we met months ago. I thought she was a spy or an
AARON "Why me? Can't the Beta do it? I'm not in the mood to drive." I groaned in my seat before throwing my head back on the headrest of the couch at the Alpha's office. I know it was a lousy excuse and seemed disrespectful, but my Alpha knew me better. I just talked like this, but I would never defy his order. "Aaron, stop asking why. You know the answer already." Clair answered annoyingly. She was sitting comfortably on the Alpha's lap, while the Alpha just looked at me, his lips pursing. "I don't have a choice, right?" I closed my eyes. I knew the answer already. "Fine. But just so you know, I'm already starting to lose my patience with Janna. She fucking knew how to push my buttons. It's not my fault if I end up abandoning her somewhere if she continues to irritate me." "Of course, you're not going to do that. If you leave her, you'll come back to pick her up, right?" My sister, the always goody-good Clair, would always make it a point to
JANNA. In just over a month, I would be turning eighteen. If I had a choice, I would rather stay with the humans, but like what my father kept telling me, this was my fate, and I could never run away from it. My name is Janna Marie Galhart. I am a shifter. And so are my parents. But we live among humans. My father, Jason Galhart, was supposed to be next in line as the Alpha of the Black Shadow Pack after my grandfather, but he gave up his right to become the next Alpha to be with my mother, Jessica Sawyer, his fated mate. In the beginning, he tried to stay away from my mother because he already had a Chosen Mate, the future Luna of his pack, and together they had a son, my half brother, Jacob. But as much as my father wanted to reject my mother, he couldn't fight the pull of the mate bond. In the end, he left his Chosen and his son and ran away with my mother to live among humans. And because of that, my half-brother, Jacob, became the next Alpha. It was only a year ago when m
AARON They just fucking don't look good together. My anger was rising, but I blamed it on her. She was fucking wasting my time here when we should have been driving back to the territory. I wanted to take her away from her boyfriend, but my bladder was already bursting. So instead, I headed off to the restroom. As soon as I was done, I wanted to go to her immediately, but there were two females who blocked my way and started flirting with me. If this was another time, I would have given in since I was a free man now, but my desire to take Janna away from her boyfriend was stronger than my urges right now. But she was nowhere around the bar when I came back. Fuck! Why did I take so long in the restroom? Instead of speaking politely with those females, I should have shoved them away. I could hear my heart thudding loudly despite the booming music and restless crowd. I panicked upon not finding her. If I lost her and Michael took
JANNAI felt my cheeks starting to burn at his words. Did I really moan his name? I won'tdeny I was thinking of him, because who would I think of when he was the one beside me? And he was gorgeous and all, and yes, he was the one beside me. I have a valid reason, right?But I swear I did my best not to open my mouth, so how could it be possible that he heard me?I held my breath as I sank into my seat, wishing for the car to swallow me whole. There was no way I would admit to him that I was thinking of him.We drove in silence until we reached my home, and I left him immediately after I told him he
AARON Jason already knew we were home last night. I sent him a mindlink and told him Janna was drunk and I was already tired. He didn't ask more and just told me to make sure the front door was securely locked before he cut off the mindlink. And this was turning out to be more bizarre. Breakfast was almost done, so it meant they were awake for a long time before they woke us up. Weren't they supposed to be alarmed that their daughter was tangled up with a man on their sofa the whole night? I didn't have time to think more about this since I followed after Janna as she rushed upstairs. My eyes lingered on her round ass as she half ran and half walked along the stairs in those short satin shorts. "Eyes off my ass, Gamma!" She snapped at me without looking back. "Then stop swinging it in my face!" I snapped back at her. She stopped and turned around so suddenly that I almost slammed my head on her stomach. My brows furrowed

THE LAST NIGHT - ALPHA, BETA, GAMMA of the BLACK SHADOW PACK Jake - 44 years old Aaron and Gavin - 42 years old GAMMA AARON. I stood in the middle of the quadrangle. The warriors would soon finish their training for the day. I let my eyes wander over the training grounds that have been under my command for the last twenty-four years since I took over the Gamma position at the age of eighteen. It has been quite a journey. Tomorrow night, Jace would step up as the new Alpha of the Black Shadow Pack, and together with him, Tyler and Austin would take the positions as his Beta and Gamma. My heart was overflowing with satisfaction for everything this pack has gone through over the years. We were attacked and ridiculed, but we managed to rise above it. We have a strong Alpha, and he has a strong team behind him — a strong Beta and Gamma. I'm not ashamed to put myself on a pedestal because I knew
13 YEARS AFTER JANNA. My whole family was on our way to visit Mom and Dad in the big city. It's been a while since I was here, and the new buildings and structures were fascinating to see. A lot has improved. Aaron made a turn and was now passing through the area that once served as my second home. It was near my high school, and though I missed the place, I knew I would rather be in the territory than here. "Stop!" My hand flew to Aaron's chest as he hit the brake hard. Our bodies jolted forward, but we were held back by our seatbelts. My head snapped back to my back and I checked the kids on the passenger seats. Both were grimacing, but they looked fine. I felt the car move as Aaron maneuvered us into the parking space beside the sidewalk. "Janna! Don't do that again!" Aaron snapped at me, and I just bit my lower lip as I looked back at him, guilty for what I did. His eyes softened before a smile tugged at his lips. "What's going on?" My eyes widened when I remembered why I t
JANNA. I couldn't tell the exact moment I fell for Aaron. One day I just woke up and knew I was hurting every time I see him with Jenny. And then I just fell hard, even before the mate bond snapped into place. I wasn't even eighteen then. I was scared it was just infatuation and, sooner or later, it would run out. That was why I insisted on finishing high school away from him. I wanted to be sure that this was the life I wanted. That I wasn't just pushed by circumstances to end up being his mate. But then I got pregnant. And everything made sense. I wanted him. I wanted the baby. I wanted us and the life we would make out of it. Two years ago, I came to my brother's territory to take my rightful claim as the Alpha's sister, but never did I imagine that that event would turn my whole life around. Now, I couldn't imagine my life away from here, away from my mate. Aaron is my home. This is exactly where I wan
AARON. The day was almost over and my body was spent from all the sessions I had today with my Elites. I just wanted to come home and have my mate in my arms. Janna would be giving birth soon, and I knew my priority would be on her and our pup. So I was trying to do all I could to prepare the team when my full attention wouldn't be on them once my pup came out. The warrior I was sparring with bowed his head in submission as we ended our session. I went to the bench nearby and picked up my water bottle, quenching my thirst before I dried up my sweat with a towel and pulled a shirt over my body. I received a mindlink thirty minutes ago that Jenny and Beta Dominic had entered the territory. They would be here soon. Or they were here already. Jenny's mate was sent on training, and since she had some free time on her hands, she requested to be allowed entrance to the territory to visit her mother. And the Beta, I assumed, took that opportunity to come with her either to visit Janna o
SEVEN MONTHS AFTER (Janna's accident) JANNA. My eyes fluttered open as a soft gasp escaped my lips. Sparks were coursing from my belly to every part of my body. Delicious tingles spread on my thighs as Aaron's hard, calloused palm caressed my skin softly. I tilted my head lower and saw my mate giving me pepper kisses on my swollen belly while his hand was busy trailing my leg until it found and cupped my sex. "Good morning, baby wolf..." Aaron's deep baritone voice softened as he murmured against my stomach. "I can't wait for you to come out. Daddy's going to take you into the forest, and you can ride Ark's back. Just you and me..." I smiled as I brushed my fingers against his hair, loving the way he always talked with our pup before he started his day. He glanced up at me, his eyes twinkling and full of mischievousness as he cupped my pussy tighter, before brushing a finger into my already wet folds. "Hmmm..." I moaned softly as I closed my eyes, my fingers coiling on his hair,
AARON. The transfusion lasted for hours before she was transferred back to the recovery room. Jake and Jason were also transferred to a different room, so they could rest for a while. Although I could see that there was no need for it, but as Lea advised, they needed to sit still for a while just for the sake of it. We were all gathered in the room where the Alpha and his father were when the doctor came in and explained that Janna was responding nicely to the transfusion and her vitals were steadily improving. She would need a few more hours to rest, but they were not sedating her anymore. She also mentioned that they didn't see any complications with our baby, only that its heartbeat was still relatively slow and they were monitoring it. My heart clenched at the many possibilities running through my mind, but I tried to block it off. The doctor left, but Lea stayed behind, a wide smile curved on her lips. She watched as the doo
