Dear reader, Thank you for picking up ‘Marked by the Alpha’ and giving it a shot. It really means a lot to me, as I think of this as my first official GoodNovel release. There will be frequent updates (about three to six chapters weekly, give or take) so be sure to keep an eye out. In the mean tim
Layla’s POVI took a step back, shaking my head in disbelief as the same Deltas who carried me in Hector’s sedan chair formed a loose circle around me, and my heart hammered in my chest when they started to approach slowly.“Please,” I said, a sob breaking loose as I turned desperately to Hector. “P
For the longest time after both Deltas left, I lay motionless on the floor, thinking.I had been set up today by Delphine, and from Theresa’s actions she was probably in on the ruse too. What hurt about the entire situation was the fact that I didn’t know why they would do that, since I had never ev
Layla’s POVI swallowed down the acidic vomit that rose from the back of my throat as the metals embedded in the whip dug into my flesh, and fought back a wretched scream as I wrenched them out, almost blacking out from the pain.The words of the note sprang to mind again. This was my last chance t
Layla’s POVThe words flowed out of me, echoing throughout the clearing, and I repeated them several times in the same order before falling silent.My breaths misted in the cold morning air, and with each slight movement I made, the wounds on my back ached viciously in retaliation. I felt drained as
“Careful,” she warned gently, helping me back in the bed. “You’ll pull your bandages out.”I heard the sound of footsteps approaching moments before my door swung open, and the Pack doctor entered, gliding over smoothly to stand at my other side.His expression was thoughtful as he considered me. I
Layla’s POVThe sharp rap of my knuckles on wood echoed through the empty corridor I was standing in, and as I let my hand fall by my side I heard his voice through the doors.“Come in.”I tried to ignore the shiver I felt go down my spine at the sound of that gruff baritone, squaring my shoulders,
I frowned, slowly coming out of my thoughts to find that Hector was staring intently at me, like he was trying to read my thoughts. “Why?” I asked finally, and he arched his brow.It was clear that he hadn’t seen this coming as my first reaction to the revelation. A small part of me felt pleased at
Dear readers, And that’s the end of it. Unbelievable, I know. I didn’t want to write an author’s note until I was absolutely finished with this, and now I am. The journey through telling the story of Hector and Layla has transformed me in ways I hadn’t thought possible—financially, mentally, cre
For years I had been afraid, unable to defend myself as people scorned me, and dictated who I was, where I stood. But none of that remained the case now. I had my mother, who was flawed and awkward, but perfect, I had a cousin who slightly terrified me. I had a grandfather, who had sacrificed h
Layla’s POV There was an edge of something dangerous in his tone even as he kneaded my ass playfully, and I shivered. My pulse raced. “I–It wasn’t intentional.” “Oh, I’m sure it wasn’t,” he murmured in something like pride. “My Little Wolf isn’t so little anymore, is she?” I swallowed in the
This time I forced my throat to open wider, taking him deeper, and Hector’s body bucked as my mouth worked over him; before I knew what was happening, he pulled away from me, grabbing me and throwing me back onto the bed. His weight settled over me as he pinned my wrists up over my head, and I ar
Layla’s POV Lust burned hot in my brain, making it impossible to think of anything beyond Hector. The feeling of his arms wrapped tightly around me as he carried me across Pack grounds, and his earthy wild male scent which left me powerless to resist his charms—all of these resulted in a sudden
“They WILL come, and right now you decide how ready you will be when they finally come at us.” She paused to let the meaning of her words sink in before finishing: “Now, I’ll invite my mother to come and take over; you can direct any questions you have at her.” The sound of a chair scraping acros
Hector’s POV The Sanguis Pack conference hall was more packed than I had ever seen it. It teemed with visiting werewolves from all over the globe, all seated, and as the sounds they made traveled to me (chairs creaking, the steady drone of air conditioning, and people with heads close together sp
My whole body felt as taut as a string, and tears stung my eyes as I watched her let her emotions settle. “Sorry about that,” my mother apologized after some time, swallowing. I noticed her hands in her laps, trembling. “I don’t… I don’t know what came over me.” She paused to gather her thoughts b
Layla’s POV With a tucked-in T shirt, denim jeans, and hair cropped just below her chin, Elaine Holloway looked much better than she had when I last saw her… which wasn’t that high of a bar when I actually thought about it. I mean, she had been standing next to the man who kept her captive for al
