From Daunte’s POV

"Aye, D, is your ass up? Let's get started." Dominic, my overly responsible Beta, decided we would do training early in the morning. If he weren't so damn proficient at his job, I would have fired him already, but I was already awake.

It took me all night to ensure my business finances were in order. While inheriting my father's Alpha Status and Real Estate business wasn't everything I had wanted, being the COO of the largest weapons manufacturing firm had its perks. I was proud of the work I had done, and I was excited about the company's future. I knew I had a lot of hard work ahead of me.

After accepting the partnership with Hector, I could also provide self-fulfilling jobs for all of the pack's wolves, regardless of rank. After visiting many packs in the past and seeing the poor treatment of lower-ranking wolves, I made sure that wouldn't happen here. I had faith that I could make Benatti Industries much more successful than it already was.

It is okay to skip this section if it is too difficult to read. From Alessia's POV My head was pounding, and my entire body felt like I had been hit by a truck. I slowly opened my eyes, and the bright light in the room made my headache worse. I could feel my heart racing as I tried to remember what had happened. Suddenly, it all came back to me. As I looked around, I noticed I was in the hospital. I hadn't been in a hospital since the car accident. After a few moments, I heard voices outside the door, "So what are you saying that she can't talk? Did her mouth get raped? Is her jaw broken that she can't recite a few words?" I heard Luna Helen say. "No, Luna, that's not what I am saying," I heard the Doctor tell Luna Helen. "Well, since she can talk, the moment she wakes up, let me know she m

If you feel vulnerable, please take a break and leave this chapter.From Alessia's POVDeep down, I thought perhaps I should be grateful that Alpha Markus had walked in. I thought he was here to help me instead. It was the opposite. Alpha Markus didn't care about what Jared did to me, and I was foolish to think that he would. He never cared about anything that didn't benefit him or Crestview. I was naive to think that perhaps, after all these years, he would have cared for me. The only people who ever cared for me were my parents, who were no longer here, and if they were, I wondered where we would be. How would our vacation have turned out?All these thoughts ran through my head as Jared and Alpha Markus argued in the room."I don't give a fuck about what happened. All I care about is that you are practically killing her here." I heard Alpha Markus tell Jared."Alpha, I just wanted to be sure she wo

    From Alessia's POVI was filled with dread as I walked back to the packhouse with Jackie. I wanted to crawl into the earth's core rather than to be going back. The thought of having to serve Jared or anyone else made my skin crawl.After losing my wolf, I no longer healed as fast. I had been ordered to take antibiotics and pain medication. The medicine made me tired, but since I was going to be working, I didn't take anything. The pain i felt from being kicked and beaten was unbearable.As I walked into the packhouse, I heard the sounds of laughter coming from the living room. Jackie and I quietly made our way to the kitchen. The eerie familiarity set in as I took one step inside and stood in the very spot where Jared had rejected me.I felt a cold chill run down my spine as I closed my eyes and took a deep breath."Are you alright?" Jackie asked."Yeah, I'm just a bit tired, that's all," I replied as I headed toward the pantry and grabbed an apron.As much as I didn't want to be here

    From Daunte's POV I told Dominic to go to Alpha Markus' meeting in my place. I knew Hector wasn't interested in going and didn't want to be in business with Crestview Pack. Since I trusted Dominic with all my business, I knew he'd be able to handle a small meeting. (Flashback) Knock knock "Come in," I said. I was busy going over the documents Katia had sent over when Dominic walked in. "Logan said you were looking for me," Dominic said as he sat down in the chair in front of the desk. "Yeah, listen, I need you to go with Jonathan to Colgate to meet with Alpha Markus," I told him, not looking up from my laptop. "Colgate? You mean toothpaste?" he replied. "What?" I said, looking up from my screen. "Who the fuck is Colgate?" Dominic said, chuckling. I shook my head and replied. "You know what the fuck I mean, Bro." Dominic burst into laughter and said, "You must really dislike Alpha Markus to talk shit about his pack name." I looked at Dominic and cocked a brow. "You're right

    From Daunte's POVI tossed and turned throughout the night. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her face. There was something about her, something that captivated me. I knew I had to see her again. I had to know her name and find out who she was. And then there was Alessia. That name drew me in as well. There was something about the name that drew me to want to know more about the person behind it."This is fucken bullshit," I growled as I sat in bed.The lack of sleep wrecked me and Romo. When tired, he was a handful. Shaking my head, I slid off the bed and made my way to the window. I stared off into the night sky. The Wolf's Moon was upon us, something that was sacred to us wolves. Every single pack celebrated in their own way.The Wolf's Moon was the first full moon that rose. Packs are able to reflect deeply on themselves at this time. It is during the Wolf Moon that an unseen connection exists between Alphas and their packs. Although Alphas are already connected to their pack mem

I glanced around and noticed I was sitting on the floor. I remembered walking back from the packhouse and feeling like I was being watched. I must have fallen asleep on the floor after lighting the candles.Standing to my feet, I felt a chill run down my spine. I glanced out the living room window. The dark night sky offered no comfort, almost as if it had turned its back on me. The Wolf's moon was upon us, but even the light from the moon seemed to be casting me aside.I closed my eyes and let out a deep sigh."Mom, Dad, Goddess, I miss you both," I whispered."Oh, I am

    From Alessia's POVThe sound of a tree branch cracking woke me from my sleep. I opened my eyes and saw the silhouette of a creature standing just a few feet in front of me. I slowly sat up to find out it was a baby bear. I froze in fear, my heart racing. Where there was a baby, there was a mama.Taking a deep breath, I stood to my feet and slowly backed away, trying not to make any sudden movements. I eventually reached a safe distance and watched as the bear cub scampered away. I sighed in relief, thankful for my luck.I glanced around, trying to see if any traces of trails might lead to civilization, which made me laugh because the only form of civilization I knew was that of the Crestview pack. Crestview was a small town but the only place I had ever known. I had never ventured far from there, and the thought of being so lost was daunting.I stood there for a moment, contemplating whether I should go back. I thought about Jackie and wondered if she knew what had happened. I had alwa

    From Alessia's POV After talking to Doctor Sara, I was escorted to the hospital. I wasn't thrilled that I had to undergo more testing, but I was grateful because, for the first time in a long time, people actually cared about me. From what I could see, this was more than just a job for them. They took pride in their work, and it showed. Doctor Sara stayed with me through the entire procedure, never leaving anything to question. Every detail of what they were going to be doing was explained. After two hours of answering questions and being pricked and probed, I was finally able to leave. Doctor Sara drove me back to the packhouse herself. I was a little bothered when she admitted that she had shared everything I had mentioned with Dominic. (FlashBack) "Alessia, I have to tell you; I told Dom what you told me about your old pack." Dr. Sara said as we drove back to the packhouse. I glanced over at her. I was slightly disappointed that she would say something, but I was sure there mu

    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

  • Mated and Rejected by her Beta   Chapter 68

    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
