Karima Sa'ad UsmanThis was a challenging book for me, and if it wasn't for all your kind words and support, I might have been unable to continue this book. Thank you all for giving it a chance, and I am sorry the story had to end. But these days, I would rather complete a book regardless of its performance than abandon it. I hope the ending was to satisfaction, and I also want you all to know that I do not take you for granted. I deeply appreciate your love and support, especially in my lowest moments. Thank you all so much. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

My Alpha In Shining Armour 01 Have You Seen Jake?
Emily, Had anyone told me I would be living a nightmare two days ago, I would have said it was a lie.My pack had troubles, and my husband assured me he was on top of it. Little did I know he would go missing and become a part of our troubles.A pack without an alpha was vulnerable, and that was where we were. With heartfelt care, David gently placed the pile of posters on the old wooden table. The posters looked haphazardly done.As I touched the worn-out prints, a rush of emotions flooded me, and the weight of our situation pressed heavily on my heart. Tears filled my eyes, ready to escape, as I looked into my brother David's eyes. In that silent moment, we shared our unspoken fears and concerns. Struggling to contain the flood of emotions, I felt a whirlwind of thoughts racing through my mind. Where was my husband? Two agonising days had passed with no sign of him, leaving us in a state of desperate uncertainty. It seemed as though he had vanished from existence, leaving no tra
My Alpha In Shining Armour 02 Status Quo Of The Howlers
Emily,The loud ringing of the landline suddenly woke me up from my light sleep. Exhaustion clung to my weary bones like an anchor dragging me deeper into the abyss.Reluctantly, I pried myself from the comfort of my bed, my throbbing head a testament to the torrent of tears and sleepless nights that had plagued me.Reaching out for the receiver, I found solace in the abrupt silence that greeted me, the call had already been answered by David, I presumed.I looked at the faint light coming through the curtains and realised it was morning. The clock on the wall showed it was nine o'clock. Although I hadn't slept much, it was time to take action. I summoned the strength to freshen myself up, hastily donning joggers and a T-shirt, clinging to a flicker of hope for a glimmer of positive news.When I joined my brother in the living room, he seemed burdened and sad.He was sitting with the phone's receiver in his hand, and I felt a sense of worry. Could this be the same call that woke me up
My Alpha In Shining Armour 03 Emily’s Struggles
Emily, Several weeks have passed, and we haven't received any news about Jake. It's as if he vanished completely off the surface of the earth. Unable to feel our bond, I was starting to fear that he was gone forever. However, I desperately held onto the hope that he would return. I found myself sitting at the Alpha office every day, attending to pack matters. The alpha’s office had become my makeshift workspace. Taking charge was tough, but nobody else could do it. David, Luis, and Claus were supportive and helped me navigate through the process, but despite our efforts, everything seemed to be falling apart. The situation was unfavourable, and we lacked the necessary resources. The stress and lack of sleep had taken a toll on me, visible in my exhausted appearance. I had dark circles and pale skin, no longer resembling my former self. It felt as if Jake's disappearance had drained the spirit from me and our pack. I had a bad headache, so I rested my head on the table to try to
My Alpha In Shining Armour 04 Desperate Times
Emily,The disappointment etched on the faces of my pack members as they left my house after the protest was a haunting image that lingered in my mind. Their eyes bore a sense of hopelessness, mirroring the despair I felt deep within. Restlessness consumed me as I tossed and turned throughout the night, the weight of unanswered questions swirling in my mind, overwhelming me with the fear of failure.I clutched my pillow tightly, tears streaming down my face. Anger, betrayal, and confusion waged a relentless war within me, making it impossible to find solace or sleep. Hours of torment passed before I finally mustered the strength to rise from the bed, desperate to calm my frayed nerves.Navigating the darkness of our unlit home, I lit a candle to guide my path. As I extended my trembling hand holding the flickering candlelight, memories of Jake and me together flooded back, and a chilling gust of wind swept through me, a stark reminder that I was now alone.The tears had ceased, but a
My Alpha In Shining Armour 05 Against All Odds
Emily,David and I returned home filled with hope. It was the first time in weeks that I felt a glimmer of relief, a sense that perhaps the tides were turning in our favour. The reasons behind Alpha Kane's willingness to lend a hand remained a mystery to me, but deep within my heart, I held onto the fervent prayer that he would somehow come through for us. Though my thoughts urged caution, recognising the past animosity between Jake and Kane, I clung to the flickering flame of hope that Kane had indeed reached out.As we approached our settlement, a palpable air of jubilation greeted us. The arrival of much-needed supplies had brought smiles to the faces of our fellow pack members. I knew this happiness was fleeting, a temporary respite from the harsh reality that awaited us. So, I yearned for my impending meeting with Kane, desperately hoping that he would be the one to fill the void in our lives."See the look on their faces, David," I whispered to my brother as we drove past the ex
My Alpha In Shining Armour 06 A Glimmer Of Hope
Emily, We entered Alpha Kane's office, and the scene screamed opulence. Wealth seemed like a distant memory to me now, and for some strange reason, I felt out of place. "Please, Luna Ashbrid, Beta Nixon, take a seat," Alpha Kane uttered, his face devoid of expression. I settled into the chair across from his desk, grateful that there were two seats available, allowing David to join me. "How may I assist you?" he inquired, encouraging me to cut to the chase. I adjusted myself in the chair. "First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude for granting me this audience. Your attention means a great deal," I said, receiving no response, which made it clear that I should get straight to the point. "Alpha, my pack is in dire need of assistance. Our resources are depleted, and hunger plagues my people. We require aid to break free from the dire straits we find ourselves in. My husband has gone missing…" I began, but he interrupted. "I have no interest in anything related to that wea
My Alpha In Shining Armour 07 Dinner
Emily, We were led to the Alpha Quarters as Alpha Kane had instructed, and rooms were assigned to David and me. The moment I entered the room, I exhaled. I did not know how physically and mentally exhausted I was until I sat on the chair in the room and exhaled. The entire ordeal had shaken me to my core. I could see why people believed Jake must have run away. Our pack could not have gotten out of the mess he had created. I was grateful to Alpha Kane for giving us a chance and agreeing to help. It was painful to realise that I would be letting go of my family's legacy, but what is a pack without its members? At least everyone would now have a chance to survive and live their lives. Uncertainty gnawed at me regarding how the Howlers would react to this new arrangement. I hoped they would embrace the change and welcome it with open arms. Similarly, I longed for the members of the Shadow Moon pack to accept my people without bias. It was abundantly clear that anyone who knew u
My Alpha In Shining Armour 08 Breakfast
Emily, Morning arrived, and Hayle, the Omega I had become acquainted with, came to escort me for breakfast. I hadn't managed much sleep, and I knew the fatigue would be apparent on my face. Nevertheless, I freshened up and donned the shirt and jeans provided for me by Alpha Kane. We made our way to the breakfast area, but to my surprise, only Alpha Kane was present. I couldn't help but wonder where David was. The confusion must have shown on my face, prompting Alpha Kane to address the situation without delay. "It will be just the two of us this morning, Emily. Your brother has been served in his room," he informed me, his expression remaining composed. A wave of nervousness washed over me. I hoped there was no issue at hand. Concerns began to surface, suggesting that Beta Carlton might have influenced Alpha Kane to retract his earlier assurances. I made a conscious effort to calm myself and maintain composure. Worrying never solved anything anyway. "I see that you didn't sleep wel

My Alpha In Shining Armour 64 The Acceptance
EmilyMy heart raced within my chest, its thunderous beats echoing the tension that gripped the air around us. A mixture of fear and anticipation churned within me as Jake's confident acceptance of the challenge sent a shiver down my spine. The world seemed to hold its breath, the fate of my life and the life of my unborn child hanging in the balance.As Jake stepped away from me, people carved out a space in the clearing where the initial struggle between Kane’s men and Jakes’ rogues had ensued to create a makeshift arena for the impending clash.

My Alpha In Shining Armour 63 The Challenge
KaneThe air was tense, thick with a blend of anger and confrontation. Jake's accusing eyes bore into me, his voice carrying the weight of betrayal as he accused me of stealing his mate. The accusation hung in the air like a dark cloud, and I felt my own anger rising, a primal urge to defend what I believed was rightfully mine."I did not consent to the severance," Jake's words cut through the charged atmosphere, his voice dripping with bitterness. "You've broken the law, Kane."My fists clenched instinctively, a fierce desire to lash out and silence him. But before I could even take a step forward, Carlton's firm grip was on my arm, holding me back. My friend's voice was a low, urgent whisper in my ear, "Do not advance, Kane. Look around; there are witnesses now. Don't give them a reason to bear witness against you."My gaze swept over the gathering crowd, the residents of Gaines Village and even the corrupt chief himself, all drawn by the spectacle of our clash. Their eyes held a mi

KaneRichard's voice cut through the tension, each word he uttered exposing Carlos's web of deception. The veil of loyalty Carlos had worn was torn asunder, and the weight of his crimes hung heavy in the air. It was a stark revelation of how he had collaborated with Jake, locking away his conscience and planning to vanish under the cover of darkness, carrying the spoils of his treachery with him. The pack members' anger roared like wildfire, their collective voices demanding retribution.But amid the clamour for justice, the urgent reality remained that Emily's safety was paramount. Carlos's guilt would be dealt with, but my focus was unwaveringly fixed on finding her. With a determined grip, I took hold of Carlos, forcing him to his knees, my fingers tight around his throat. The anger in me surged, a visceral response to the harm he had inflicted upon me by abducting my mate."Tell me where she is," I growled, the intensity of my stare piercing into him, demanding the truth he could
My Alpha In Shining Armour 61 The Rescue
Kane The moon hung low in the sky as we arrived at the outskirts of Samyspring. A sea of towering trees greeted us, their leaves rustling with a nervous energy that seemed to mirror our own. The anticipation in the air was palpable, a tension that crackled like electricity. Richard rode at my side, his gaze a blazing fire of determination – the rightful alpha of Samyspring, resolute in his quest to reclaim what had been unjustly taken from him by his best friend. The gravity of our mission hung heavy in the air, and as we neared the entrance to the pack, a formidable line of roguish figures awaited us.

My Alpha In Shining Armour 60 The Betrayal
KaneArriving at the settlement in the early morning, my mind was racing with thoughts of Emily. The urgency to find her pulsed through my veins, and I knew that every passing moment decreased the chances of a safe resolution. After Carlton dropped me off at the Alpha quarters, I wasted no time. I had to get to the bottom of this swiftly.Brian and Claus were on standby for the impending interrogation of Michelle. I was determined to uncover the truth about who orchestrated this intricate web of deception. I needed to understand why Emily had been left vulnerable, who had manipulated the situation to prevent anyone from accompanying her to the lake house. My suspicion had landed heavily on Michelle, who knew Emily's routine too well.Hurrying into my room, I took a quick shower and dressed in simple attire. Time was a luxury I couldn't afford to indulge in. Emily's safety hung in the balance, and I had to act decisively. Linking up with Doctor Karen, I inquired about my mother's condi

EmilyA moment of tense silence stretched between us, the weight of our histories and the chasm of our emotions suspended in the air. I refused to let him see the cracks in my facade, the turmoil that churned within. His presence was a twisted reminder of a past I had fought hard to overcome.Jake's expression twisted with a mixture of anger and hurt. "You think you have it all figured out, don't you? You have no idea what I went through. I loved you, Emily, and I still do," He said, and I could not believe this dude.A fire blazed in my eyes. "Love? You don't know the first thing about love. All you know is manipulation and betrayal." I replied.He clenched his fists, his voice trembling. "I could have killed you the moment I saw that mark on your neck – another man's mark." He yelled at me, vibrating with anger, and I did not care."What did you think will happen, Billy?"
