From Daunte's POV

Asking Alessia to talk to Jared was the last thing I wanted to put her through.

However, something told me Jared would talk to her. I knew the risk we would be taking, but I knew the risk was higher if we didn't try. Jared had confirmed that Adam, Markus, and Vince were coming after Alessia. I was willing to do whatever it took to ensure Alessia was safe, even if it meant siding with the enemy.

"Daunte," Hector called me.

I nodded in acknowledgment.

"I need to speak with you," he said, turning and leaving his office.

"I'll be back, little one," I said to Alessia, kissing her cheek softly before walking after Hector.

"What's up?" I asked as I approached him.

Hector turned and looked at me, a scowl on his face. "What the fuck is your problem?" he growled.

I cocked a brow at him. "Can you be any more fucken vague than that?" I asked.

"You are putting your mate at risk, yourself, and mine. Why?" Hector asked.

"Here we go again with this shit," I replied as I pinched the b

    From Alessia's POVMy heart dropped the moment Daunte asked me what I meant when I said Adam wasn't going to kill Hector. In my heart of hearts, I never wanted to tell him about what I saw. I was still trying to piece it all together myself. My vision came so fast that I wasn't able to put it all together before Daunte and Hector started fighting.I felt so bad that the two of them were at each other's throats because of me. If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have run off into the woods that night, especially knowing this would happen. In spite of this, I don't regret what I did because I knew it was the right thing to do.Despite my reluctance, I had to share my vision with Daunte, especially after what had happened between Hector and him. Daunte was taken aback by what I had to say. He asked me for more details, but I couldn't accurately describe what I saw.After I told him, Daunte had been a little more reserved for the remainder of the night. I knew he was processing ever

    From Arina's POVThe woman standing in the doorway was about five feet five inches. Her greyish-white hair was pulled into a bun on top of her head. Her dark brown eyes were framed by reading glasses. She wore a faded plaid shirt and blue jeans. Her hands were clasped in front of her, and she had a faint smile on her face. She walked slowly into the room, her steps slow and deliberate. She stopped a few feet from me, her gaze fixed on me."Forgive my tardiness. We arrived as soon as possible," she said softly."We?" Hector replied cocking a brow at her."Yes, Alpha Hector, my grandson son Luke Landri is also here. I don't believe you have ever met him," she said as she turned and gestured to the man walking in.Luke walked in, a serious look on his face. He wore his medium dark brown hair in a textured quiff with a disconnected undercut. Luke wore a black suit, a white shirt, and a black tie. He smiled warmly at Hector, but his eyes betrayed his nervousness.He extended his hand and s

    From Daunte's POV As I pondered the situation, I was unsure of what to do. When Alessia told me I would die at the hands of Adam, my world seemed to be turned upside down. I was terrified and confused. I had never felt so scared in my life. I knew I had to do something, but I had no idea what. The last thing I wanted was to leave Alessia without anyone to protect her, and I still felt I had a lot of things to accomplish. I knew I had to make a decision, and fast. I had to think carefully about what to do. I had to find a way to save both of us. I decided to go for a walk to clear my head. As I made my way outside, I heard Romo's voice echo in my mind. "You worry too much, old man," he said. "Why wouldn't I? There's so much that we have yet to do, not to mention if something happens to us that leaves Alessia alone," I replied. "Mate will never be alone. We will always be there by her side to protect her," Romo replied confidently. "You must be on some good shit," I said, chuckling

    From Daunte's POVThe moment the demon dropped Alessia, I rushed to her side. I was not expecting him to push forward until we had an agreement from Jared, especially not with Maliyla and Katia there. I quickly pulled Alessia into my arms, held her, and kissed her forehead. I wanted to tell her how much I loved her, but I couldn't find the words, certainly not after the demon's last words to me."Beware of the company you keep, for some are on his side," he warned.Those words sent a wave of chills up my spine. At that moment, I knew we had a mole in our mists and clearly more than one. The first person that came to mind was Margaret. Although she had been with me for many years, something had changed in her just a few weeks after Alessia arrived. She had been acting weird and seemed to disappear at the most inopportune times. My thoughts went back to the day we left the Onyx Fang Pack, and I recalled how Margaret wanted to know details of our departure, not to mention the blanket and

  • Mated and Rejected by her Beta   Chapter 50

    From Alessia's POVIf there was ever a time in my life when I craved clarity and understanding, it was now. It seemed that the more people became involved, the more chaotic things became, and the more unanswered questions arose. What had initially appeared to be a simple story of an orphaned girl had transformed into a complex mystery. The reason behind my parents' murder was nothing more than a desire to possess the power bestowed upon me by the moon goddess herself.My brother, whom I have no recollection of, despised me simply because he believed he deserved a title that he felt was rightfully his as a man. It was quite sexist, in my opinion, considering the changing times and the progress made by Maliyla's successful petitions.Then, there was my uncle, a former councilman, who craved power and was willing to go to any lengths to obtain it. The question that lingered was why? And what did he plan to do with this power once he had it? Although he sought the power of Maliyla and Kat

    From Daunte's POVAs I awoke, a wave of pure bliss washed over me. Beside me lay my precious little one, peacefully curled up. A smile graced my face as I reflected on the passionate night we shared. I reminisced about the symphony of pleasure that escaped her lips as I explored every inch of her. Plus, the way she wiggled and moaned in ecstasy as I hit all of her sweet spots from behind. She surrounded me with her captivating scent as I rolled gently over on my back. Planting a tender kiss on her forehead, I held her close, reveling in her comforting warmth. A profound sense of serenity and contentment washed over me as she stirred in my embrace."Good morning, little one," I whispered as she opened her beautiful blue eyes.She smiled and stretched her arms out, snuggling closer. I kissed her on the forehead again and held her close, feeling the joy of her presence. I felt my heart swell with love and gratitude for this precious gift the moon goddess gave me."Good morning," Alessia

    From Alessia's POVListening to their conversation, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the realization that every person in this room was willing to put their lives on the line for me. The only other individual who had ever shown me such unwavering compassion was Jackie. And Goddess, how I missed her. It suddenly dawned on me that I hadn't seen her since the night I ran away from the Crestview Pack. Questions arose in my mind: was she OK? Did she get out of that ratchet place? I needed to make sure she was OK. I made a mental note to talk to Daunte about it; I was sure he could help me.As I sat there quietly, lost in my thoughts, I suddenly felt like I had been pulled out of my body and placed in someone else's. The moment I opened my eyes and looked around, I didn't recognize anything. I sat up and realized I wasn't in Hector's office. Instead, I was in my childhood home. My last time there was when my father announced that we were going on our annual family trip. As I rose to

    From Alessia's POVAfter receiving my premonition, I gained a more profound comprehension of the situation. It became clear that my uncle possessed a unique ability, but unfortunately, he never fully utilized it. Despite this, he was still stronger than my mother's wolf. It was puzzling that he was unaware of his own power, and my brother was also struggling with a similar fate.Sitting outside, I allowed the sun to envelop me, closing my eyes and clearing my mind. Immersed in a profound meditation, as I contemplated the possibility of being in a similar situation to my brother, I started thinking about my brother's experience. Inhaling deeply, it was difficult not to feel a sense of responsibility as I contemplated whether there was any way to help him. As I concentrated on my breath, I called out to Briseis, seeking guidance and resolution."I'm here," she said as she slowly appeared."I need to know if there is any way in the world at all that we can save my brother.

    Bonus chapter***Alessia's Promise is Fulfilled***There was only one sound I could hear: the sound of the monitor. Nothing else mattered, not the people in the room nor the sound of my heart beating in my chest. There was only one thing I cared to listen to: the monitor that indicated that Daunte was still with me. As far as I was concerned, losing him was not something that I could cope with at this moment in time. As a result of the fact that he attempted to sacrifice himself for me, I was further convinced of the extent to which he cared for me.As I sat in the chair next to his bed, I recalled the last minutes of our battle as I remembered how we had come so close to losing each other. Watching Jared sacrifice himself in order to save Daunte was one of the most heartbreaking memories I would carry with me. A few seconds before the silver nitrate bullets were fired, Jared had shoved him out of the way. Although one of the bullets still managed to hit Daunte in the shoulder, the ot

    ***Five Years Later***"Mommy, Mommy, Uncle Hector said a bad word after he hit Daddy," Mikaylea yelled as she ran into the kitchen. There was a great deal of worry and concern in her light blue eyes."Awww, sweetie, I am sure that Daddy and Uncle Hector were only playing," I said to her as I approached her and scooped her into my arms, brushing her strawberry blonde hair from her face.In spite of the fact that Mikaylea was only five years old, nothing flew past her. After placing her in a regular preschool, we were surprised to discover that she was already exceeding every child her age. The sound of laughter reverberated throughout the hallway as Daunte and Hector walked into the kitchen, and I placed Mikaylea in her high chair."You know that I won," Daunte laughed as he approached me, wrapping his arms around my waist and kissing me."Uncle Hector, you hit Daddy," Mikaylea exclaimed, pointing her little finger at Hector."Yes, I did, but only because he fucken deserved it," Hecto

    From Alessia's POVIt was never in my head that I was lucky or blessed, not after all the things I have experienced. Many nights, I literally cried myself to sleep, asking the moon goddess to take me away from this life that had been given to me, one which was so disappointing to me. Other times, I would wonder why I was left alone to survive while my parents were gone.All of that changed when Daunte walked into my life and changed everything for me. He changed my life, and I was exposed to new possibilities. To say that I am blessed to have him in my life is an understatement. Having said that, there aren't even a few words that can do justice to my emotions and how he makes me feel. It has been Daunte who has been my rock, the source of my salvation, the source of my reassurance, and a beacon of light in the dark, and I can only wish that others are as fortunate to find someone like this in their lives.I had come full circle in my life, having gone from an orphan to an omega withou

    From Daunte's POVAs far as I knew, Alessia had never been outside the city, let alone out of the country. Hence, when Hector mentioned taking Alessia somewhere she'd never been, I asked Maliyla to investigate on my behalf. Imagine my surprise when Alessia confided in Maliyla that she had never seen snow before. After hearing that, it only made sense to take her to Breckenridge since the weather there was perfect for skiing, especially during the winter when the snow was falling, the most beautiful time of the year.I had made sure to leave everything in Dominic's hands, with Hector serving as a backup in case he wasn't available. However, after Luke mentioned that his mate was in my pack, it became evident that he should stay at the Onyx Fang pack to resolve things with her. In order to accommodate Alessia and me comfortably, I had asked Hector to reserve one of the private cottages. I had planned for our honeymoon to only last for two weeks. Due to her carrying pups, I needed to make

    From Daunte's POVWatching her walk down the aisle was one of the most breathtaking moments of my life. I will never forget the look she had in her eyes, and I will never forget how she looked at me. Alessia came into my life and changed every aspect of it. I had heard her say many times that she was the luckiest woman, but in reality, I was the lucky one. Every day with her was even more magical than the last. Alessia was the reason I believed in love and the answer to my prayers."Thank you," I said to Hector as I took Alessia's hand and guided her up the remaining stairs to where my father stood. I had asked him the night before to perform the ceremony. I knew that my grandfather had performed his, and I wanted to keep the tradition going."We are gathering here today to witness the union of not one Alpha but two. The goddess had chosen these two amazing people to come together in a union unlike any other," he said, pausing momentarily and smiling at Alessia and me."There are many

    From Alessia's POV***Three days later***There was something inexplicable about waking up the morning of the ceremony. At that moment, I felt as if I was the king of the world, well, queen in my case. In the past, if you had asked me if I had ever seen myself mated with an Alpha male and being this happy, I would have laughed at the idea. Daunte was a blessing in so many ways. The kindness with which he treated me was beyond anything I had ever experienced before. During the course of our relationship, he demonstrated his love to me in ways I could never have imagined was possible.Opening my eyes, I turned to find his side of the bed empty. Extending my arm, I touched his side of the bed. The warmth he left behind filled me with a wave of warm chills. Pulling his pillow towards me, I closed my eyes and inhaled his scent. I lingered for a moment, savoring the feeling of his warmth. I felt a surge of emotion wash over me, and I whispered a silent prayer of gratitude for his presence i

    From Daunte's POVSeeing Alessia in such a happy state was the best feeling of my life. It was as if she was glowing; her smile alone would brighten your day, and the love she held in her eyes was more meaningful and magical than anything I had ever witnessed.As long as I can remember, I have prayed to the Goddess to give me a mate, and after having watched so many of my closest friends go through hell and back with their mates, I figured that if it made me happy, I would want to go through the same struggles and pains that they did. For me, Alessia's pain, anger, and love meant more to me than anything else in life, and I would happily relive them again and again if I had to do so.In all honesty, finding out that she was pregnant was one of the best pieces of news I ever received; it was one of the most rewarding feelings in my life to have pups in my life. As soon as Hector and Maliyla gave birth to Pethasillla, the feeling began to develop in me; as I spent more and more time wit

    From Alessia's POVWhoever said that planning a wedding was easy was a liar. At least, in my eyes, they were. Having to go through all the dress fittings, the cake tasting, food, and floral arrangements turned out to be a nightmare. Kira was a huge help, and so was Jackie. I had asked Daunte to excuse Jackie from work to assist me. I missed talking to her and needed her advice on many things, especially my pregnancy. Although Jackie herself didn't have pups, I needed advice on what to tell Daunte. I wasn't sure if he was ready to have any. As Alpha, I knew that pups were a big deal, as it was through our children that the bloodlines and legacy continued, but was he ready? And most importantly, was I?Briseis had been silent for the last few weeks. Talking to her had become almost nonexistent. It was almost as if she had disappeared.Everything seemed to happen so quickly that I didn't believe it at first. However, it all started making sense when Margaret increased my food intake and

    From Alessia's POV Two days had passed since we returned from the Mystic Shadow pack. It was a bittersweet experience. A total of two hundred pack members came back with us to the Onyx Fang Pack. I was happy to have my aunt Millie come with me and Exodus, who we later learned was her mate. However, I was heartbroken to see so many people left behind. Even though we left food and other supplies and promised to return to help them rebuild their homes on the Mystic Shadow pack grounds, I still felt a sense of emptiness but also a sense of hope for the future. I was looking forward to helping rebuild my old pack and making it even stronger than before. Back at the Onyx Fang Pack, Jackie had fitted in quite nicely and had already begun working for Daunte and Hector. I was happy to have my best friend with me, even if I didn't see her as often as I thought I would. Margaret was back to her usual self, and in true Margaret fashion, she ensured that Daunte had his coffee as he liked. There w
