Still Alpha Abel’s Point Of ViewAs I assisted Joanna out of the vehicle, I closed the door behind her and gently pressed her against the hood. Her body felt so warm, enough to heat up the little space between us.I closed my eyes for a few seconds to savor the heavenly sensation my mate was instilling in me. Tilting her chin upwards, my thumb traced over her bottom lip. She trembled at our touch and slowly raised her gaze to meet mine, her gray eyes were truly captivating beyond compare. That unforgettable night, I had barely taken the time to study them. Yet now, with them so near, I realized my life would feel incomplete without their presence. But there was no chance of me losing out on this, they belonged to me and I intended to immerse myself in their essence for the rest of my days."You are beautiful," I murmured against her lips. "Please give us a chance, and I'll make amends for the way I brought you here and those long, lonely hours in that room. I had to keep you isolated
Still Alpha Abel’s Point Of View"Alpha, there was a board meeting tonight. The stakeholders of the Merimen Trust Fund had requested an explanation about a transfer of two million dollars to an offshore investment company outside of America. They thought it was highly suspicious."Elena, my private Secretary, bumped into me as I entered the packhouse with Joanna. Her eyes were glowing red, something serious was definitely going on here. My Secretary was usually very level-headed and confident. The few times I had seen her in this state, Woodland Investment had been on the verge of losing hundreds of millions."Calm down. Let's go into my office and talk about this. How much time do we have before the meeting?" We walked quickly to my office, I pulled Joanna along with me."About four hours. That's not much. Do you know anything about the transfer? I don't." I sat down behind my desk and settled my mate on my lap. Fortunately, she didn't protest and I could concentrate
Joanna's Point Of ViewLost in thought, I turned and walked into the apartment.The events of the last hour passed me by.The Alpha! My desperate reaction to his kiss was uncommon. I acknowledged that there was an undeniable attraction between us, but it was more of a sexual nature. It was nothing compared to what I felt for Clyde. Damn it, and I am still a married woman.And then his comments about his wolf buzzed through my head. Had I really had sex with an animal that night? According to him, he and his wolf took turns on me. Holy goodness!How hadn't I noticed any of this? This was unthinkable.Of course, at that moment I was in ecstasy, forgetting everything around me because of the infinite pleasure he was giving me. It was as if I had entered another world where only he and I existed and all that mattered was to satisfy our passion. It was sex and nothing else. Ordinary animal lust.But a few minutes ago in his office, we had a different experience. It turned out that we had o
Joanna's Point Of View"Miss, we know you were awake. Just open your eyes. Don't you want to know what happened to you?"The voice was soft and breathy, but unmistakably male. I slowly opened one eye to see two men looking at me in amusement. One of them had a black top and the other one was a deep blond. Both were solidly built, just under the bulky models on the covers of the sports magazines.Yes, it was decidedly childish of me to close my eyes again under the watchful eyes of the men next to my bed. With a slight smile, I opened both eyes."Yes, please. What am I doing here in the hospital? I remember being involved in a collision and being thrown from the back of the vehicle," I answered quietly. "But there were other people in the car. How did they fare?"The men turned to each other in surprise."No, there was no one else when we found you. We discovered you in the ravine in a creek. Luckily, the water level was low enough not to suffocate you," the handsome black-haired one a
Joanna's Point Of View StillGoodness gracious!I had hoped that Mr. Handsome was blessed with some brains as well. Nothing was more frustrating than to engage with a strikingly attractive man, only to discover he lacked wit or intellect. The imposing and irritated Alpha before me now had surely overlooked the finer details. "The doctor referred to you as Alpha when he entered, genius," I responded in a tone reminiscent of a kindergarten teacher. I rolled my eyes, which clearly infuriated him. It seemed the Alpha couldn't tolerate having his weaknesses highlighted. "Take it easy, little fish. I dragged you out of the creek yesterday, and today you're talking down to me?" he growled as he took a menacing step towards me. But his intimidating demeanor didn't scare me, I defiantly met his gaze head-on. He looked back at me in bewilderment, probably not used to such insolence. "How did you learn about werewolves? As a human, you weren't supp
Still Joanna's Point Of View It was a long drive to the pack, even though Blonde was driving at high speed.After everything that had transpired that day, I felt mentally exhausted and fell asleep shortly after we left. When Mr. Handsome gently shook me awake, he announced that we would arrive at his pack in five minutes. He handed me a warm refreshment wipe, which I quickly used to clean my face and neck.We entered a dirt road and soon came to a set of high gates. A man in a riot gear approached us, and as Blonde lowered the dark window, he slightly bowed."Alpha, Beta, I hope your mission was successful," the man said kindly. "Several hours ago, emissaries from the King arrived here. When I informed them of your absence, they indicated that they would return after some time, Alpha.""Messengers from the King? That's strange, they usually announce their arrival well in advance," Mr. Handsome replied in wonder. "Did they mention the purpose of their visit?""No, Alp
Joanna's Point Of View Still The days in the Moonlight Seekers pack flew by. I felt like I was getting stronger. After three days in the pack, I offered Emma my help in the kitchen. Sleeping and watching television was becoming dull, I saw no one but the maid who brought a tray of food three times a day.Emma understood my situation and seized my offer with both hands.We quickly became good friends, and she introduced me to some of her Italian recipes, which she insisted were Zane's favorites. Yesterday, I made lasagna for the Alpha table for the first time; according to Emma, both Zane and the Beta devoured it all. They even argued over who would get the last piece.Zane inquired about who made it as the taste was entirely different from Emma's. Upon learning that I had cooked yesterday, he praised me, which felt wonderful. Today, I prepared my specialty, Jamaican Jerk Barbecue Chicken and Pork with its signature sauce. To balance out the spice, I inc
Joanna's Point Of View again "Joanna, what do you think of Cleo? He is the hottest Beta I have ever seen."Janice sat next to me in the luxurious Maserati and swooned at the thought of Beta Cleo. Yes, I noticed at dinner last night that she was always looking for his attention, but the man was only polite to her. He clearly wasn't interested in her as anything more than a friend.Actually, I had more of an idea that she was afraid that he would be more interested in me than normal and wanted to secure her place in the man's life. Fortunately, the Beta was simply being friendly, teasing me a few times about a mate who was probably looking for me all over the world.Zane was noticeably quiet, listening in on most of our conversations.His eyes seemed to bore into me even more intensely when Cleo brought up the topic of a possible mate. I intentionally avoided making eye contact with him because I didn't want to decipher what he was feeling. I think Janice
Alpha Zane’s Point of ViewAs I disembarked alongside Beta Cleo and entered the lively airport in Latin America, my wolf, Hunter, start getting lively."What's happening?" I inquired, my curiosity heightened. "Does this have to do with seeing Joanna again?" His excitement was contagious, sending a thrill through me and making my heart race.Hunter maintained his energy as we picked up our rental car and headed to the hotel. We drove along a highway flanked by lush green countryside, which offered us a refreshing breath of heavenly fresh air.My thoughts were consumed with Joanna, I was so looking forward to seeing her again.I looked over at my Beta, whose expression remained neutral. Still, I could tell he was excited, though for a different reason. The prospect of seeing Janice again consumed him. He might have tried to deny it even to himself, but the way his eyes sparkled with anticipation whenever he thought I wasn’t watching, gave him away.Cleo handled our hotel check-in, and w
Third Party …The atmosphere in the packhouse felt utterly unsettled following Joanna's departure.Even though she didn't interact much with the pack members, to us high-ranking and close staff, she was like our cherished ward who required extra protection and care. We were more than willing to offer it, safeguarding her from the world's harshness and ensuring no harm would befall her.Now she's gone for good, Clyde is determined never to lose her again.The intensity in his eyes reveals everything, his love for her surpasses even the value of his own life. However, the void left in the packhouse is unmistakable, everyone can sense it deeply. The Luna seat where she usually sat is now vacant once more, and Emma, our cook, still inadvertently sets an extra place next to mine every day.Just like it is today."Emma, you can take the plate away," I reminded her for what felt like the hundredth time. This has become a daily occurrence, and I'm not sure if she's doing it on
Crown Prince Clyde’s Point of ViewHaving Joanna around every day was unsettling for my wolf..Xin persistently encouraged me to claim her, leading to frequent conflicts between us. He was impatient and refused to let her declare her love for us on her own terms. Joanna complicated things further with constant physical contact; her accidental touches and gentle kisses on my neck whenever she could send me into a frenzy.All I needed was a straightforward statement that she loved me — loud, clear, and unmistakable —spoken without any pressure from me. Sometimes I sensed she was on the verge of saying something important but then changed her mind at the last moment. In those instances, my heart almost leaped out of my chest with anticipation that my long-awaited moment had arrived. Yet she hesitated, likely lacking the courage to reveal her feelings fully.'You're just a coward, human!' Xin scolded me. 'You hide behind all sorts of excuses. Even if she doesn't say it out
A week had gone by since Clyde and I began working together, and it felt like we were perfectly in sync.We successfully brought the project to completion, and it turned out to be highly profitable for our company. Tomorrow marks its official launch, a moment I eagerly anticipate. Clyde greatly appreciated my contribution, complimenting me throughout the process."Joanna," Clyde remarked one evening as we finished up our tasks. "You've done an amazing job. Be sure to dress up for tomorrow because I'm taking you out on a date after the ceremony."His words sent a thrill through me, yet I couldn’t ignore the invisible wall he had recently erected between us. He rarely touched me now, though he didn't object when I leaned against him. My feelings for him were intensifying, and I'd moved beyond mere infatuation as these emotions ran much deeper within me. Clyde was the man I loved.I pushed away my fear of potentially going back to Moonlight Seekers and leaving him behind. This evening, I
Seated comfortably beside Clyde in his luxurious car, I marveled at the smoothness of the ride and enjoyed the refreshing cool air from the air conditioning.The leather seats were soft and plush, giving me the sensation of sinking into a cloud. I glanced sideways at Clyde, who remained focused as he expertly navigated through the buzzling streets of the city."We're nearly there," he said, his voice resonating with a deep, masculine tone. "I can't wait for you to see the project I'm working on. Your feedback is something I’m really looking forward to."I nodded, intrigued by the chance to contribute to his work. I was determined not to give him the impression that I intended to rely on him financially. Although we hadn't discussed specific working conditions, living in his home rent-free and sharing meals with him made a salary unnecessary. The added benefit of assisting him was being able to spend all my time by his side.As Clyde started outlining the details of the investment proj
Joanna’s Point of ViewAs I entered the magnificent villa, a wave of familiarity swept over me.It felt as though the very walls were whispering to me, eager to reveal their secrets. The further I went, the stronger my sense of déjà vu became; it was as if this house was a part of me.The detailed carvings on the wooden beams and the gentle hum of distant music felt familiar, even though I couldn’t recall ever being here. As I absorbed the surroundings, a young woman emerged in the hallway.Given her strong resemblance to Clyde, she had to be his sister. As I turned my face towards her, she observed me curiously, a question burning in her eyes that I couldn't quite identify. When she finally stood before me, it seemed like she considered embracing me but ultimately opted for a handshake."Hi, I'm Natali," she greeted with a gentle smile that didn't fully illuminate her almond-shaped eyes. "Clyde is my big brother and he's shared so much about you with me. One thing's f
Still Crown Prince Clyde’s Point of ViewOnce the jet was stable in the air, Joanna unbuckled her seatbelt and settled onto my lap.After our escapade a few hours ago, she became even more affectionate. Once she'd packed her belongings from the penthouse and set her suitcase next to mine in the hallway, she came straight over and wrapped her arms around me. She stayed close until we got back into the car, unwilling to let go of me. Even Janice and Jace couldn't resist making some lighthearted comments about it all.Janice was coming with us to Latin America.She was reluctant to leave her friend behind, and it wasn't difficult to persuade Zane to allow her to join us. He thought that after she rejected her mate and dealt with a unrequited love for the Beta, a change of scenery could be just what she needs at the moment. Meeting new people could be a welcome distraction and even allow her to refocus her life."Aren't you going to take a nap, love?" I asked Joanna as I g
I gently placed her on the hood and leaned in between her legs."You are incredibly beautiful. Seeing you walk in front of me like that drove me wild with desire," I murmured against her neck. "Joanna, I want you to be a part of my life forever."I slowly lowered the top of her dress from her shoulders and began kissing her passionately.She reacted immediately, and I could feel the desire coursing through her veins.The air around us was charged with her arousal, she was so ready for me.My lips traced a path to her breasts, and as soon as I found a nipple, she arched forward, offering it into my mouth while tossing back her rich black hair. Her nails dug into the skin of my shoulder as she released a soft moan.Goddess, this is sin, but I'm addicted to it.Her hands move up to playfully tousle my long hair while I focus on pleasuring the erect nipples."Is it true, Clyde? Are you attracted to me?" she asked, her voice tinged with longing.“Let me show you how much, my Queen.”My lip
Crown Prince Clyde's Point Of ViewThe fashion show was set to kick off in an hour, and Joyce had taken every possible step to ensure a successful start. Invitations were sent out to all notable officials within a fifty-miles radius. The night before, there was a reception where interested guests could preview the designs and meet the models. Joanna was in her element. If only she knew how she and my mother made it a habit to push promising designers by wearing their creations. The women enjoyed their charity so much, many designers found their way to international stages through my mother's referral.Every evening, I watched her from afar with admiration, the way she engaged with others, her spontaneity, and that infectious laugh.Goddess, how I loved this woman!A few nights ago, I couldn't stick around for too long since duty was calling in Latin America. And with Alpha Abel nearby, there was no room for taking risks, he might make his way here as well.But despite my persistent
