***Leo's POV*** I kept my eyes fixed on Alpha Nora until she disappeared from my view. I was shaking with anxiety as I sat in the midst of a crowd of complete strangers. Someone who keeps on glaring at and disdaining me. I was aware that many eyes were trained on me in an unwelcome way. My skin pricked as if a dagger were being thrown at me from their eyes. To the best of my ability, I try to breathe in and out normally. Even so, I could still feel the heat from their gaze behind me. The heat was so palpable that I started sweating. Fidgeting with my fingers, I stood up and made my way toward her room. Suddenly, two hulking men cross my path and block my way. One had brown hair and tanned skin, while the other had black hair and bronze skin. They were both about the same height as me, but they were a little bigger and bulkier. "Hey, " he says, rubbing his hand at the back of his neck nervously "my name is Josh, and this is..." "I'm Dave. Nice to meet you," he adds with
***NORA’S POV*** Once I arrived at the training ground, I roared out an order,"50 laps in human form now," "Yes Alpha," the warriors replied and bowed in unison. They comply by jogging not far behind me. I splinted in full speed with my warriors. Even in my human form, I was faster than warriors and other high-ranking wolves who had been training for years. Remembering my mother’s remarks made me furious. When are they going to change? When will they prioritize me over everything else? They only care about their reputation. Now they want me to give up my happiness in order to appease the elite of society. Fuck all of them!!!. I continued running..... None of my men complained about my training methods after I created a special bond with them three years ago. The warriors are well aware of my strict training methods and how they have made us stronger as a pack. Ever since I became the Alpha, the Blackwood pack has gained a reputation in America as one of the m
***NORA’S POV*** My body was radiating with sheer wrath. I hover over him in my wolf form, relaxing my paws and weight on him. His face was filled with horror, and he kept thrashing underneath me. Electricity rushed through us, when Nelly’s fur scraped against him . The pain and irritation left our bond and the spark disappeared. Nelly, my wolf, gazed down at him and roared in his face, halting his struggles. She lowered her big wolf's head down and our breath hit his face. A trickle of sweat breaks on his skin as he trembles. His heart rate was really fast. "How did you find me, Nora?" he asked, his voice was shaking. Nelly ignored him and rubbed her face against his neck, breathing in his scent. His scent was like a drug to us, and we gradually lost our rage. She licked his face, making him gasp. From his expression, he was taken by surprise. His body submitted to us and he relaxed beneath our weight. My wolf chanted "mine" and
***NORA’S POV*** I woke up in the embrace of a warm and comfortable body. It felt so good to be in the embrace of another, something that I never had growing up. It was around five in the morning, and I removed the metal cuff from Leo’s wrist. I soothed the sore, reddened wrist with kisses and it healed instantly. I kissed his forehead lovingly and got down from the bed, as I heard him sigh in satisfaction. I hurriedly changed into my sports wear and ran into the elevator. I arrived on time for training to see almost all the warriors waiting. Even as an alpha, I've made it a point to be on time for training. One of the reasons my warriors respect and trust me is that I don't put myself above my own rules. Training started with fifty laps around the grounds. We continued with hand-to-hand combat and also trained in our wolf form to make our wolves faster and stronger. It was seven o'clock when I dismissed the warriors. I walked straight to my office since I didn’t work that muc
***Leo’s POV*** Thirty minutes later, we arrived at the shopping mall in human territory. Nora interlaced our fingers and practically dragged me into the mall. We passed through throngs of people. Some were supernatural and others were humans, since we are on human territory. I felt Nora drop her hand from mine. I was disappointed when she pulled her warm hand away from mine, but she did something unexpectedly. She sneaked and wrapped her hand around my waist possessively, tugging me closer to her. "Nora, people are watching." I whispered shyly. She frowned, "So what if they're watching? "I am just protecting what is mine from vultures," she replied, growling lowly. Her hazel eyes darken as she scans the crowd. "Aww... Mate is jealous," I teased, grinning like a fool. She blushes, averting her face. As we moved through the crowd, I noticed we were the center of attention. Some men gazed lustfully at Nora. I wanted to grab her and hide her in a ro
*** Nora’s POV*** I pressed and took the elevator to my office floor. When I arrived at the door, I smelled the mysterious scent coming out of my office. I threw my office door open and I was greeted by a strong pine and mushroom scent, the same one in my office this morning. Is the intruder still here? I strode in and scanned around to find the office empty. However, the same black card with a red ribbon was lying on my desk. My brows fused together into a frown as I picked up the black card from my desk. *** Hello, Alpha. It appears that you didn’t take heed to my warning. I warned you, didn't I? You've now awoken the beast in me. I am coming for you and everyone you care about. Keep your eyes open and your ears pricked. And ooh ....watch your back. Because I'd do something worse than kill you. I will give you more pain than you can imagine. I hope you enjoyed the shopping *** My blood bubbled with anger on seeing the attached pictur
*** Nora’s POV*** I never thought I'd get to the stage where I would plan a date for a man. Not just any man, my mate. I am so happy he crossed my pack the day he did. Today, I realized some changes in Leo's attitude toward me. He appears more at ease and welcoming than he has been in recent days. Being with Leo made me feel things that I never thought I was capable of feeling. "Do you think he will like it?" I asked my wolf. I was a nervous wreck. I didn’t know the type of date he preferred, so I chose a picnic. "Sure, he will love it. Chill girl!!,........ Leo doesn't appear to be a picky type of guy," Nelly assured. I nodded and heaved a sigh. When we arrived near the waterfall, Leo stared at the mat and picnic basket on the green grass with little to no expression on his face. I couldn’t tell what he was thinking and this increased the level of my anxiety. Maybe he didn’t like the set up. My heart clenched at the thought. Was he expecting somethin
*** Mason’s POV*** "Babe, do you really have to leave?" Mark asked, whining. "Yes, Love, we talked about this." I stated in frustration. "This is something I must do in order for our plan to succeed. Don’t you want a future with me? " I queried. "I do, but I will miss you. I will miss your presence, "he whispered, gazing down. I signed and raised his chin with my index finger. "I'll come get you soon. You know, my family won't allow us to be together. So hang in there when I straighten things out with Nora and marry her. I request that you join the pack so that we can be closed until our plan is completed. Give me two months. " I lied between my teeth, knowing that this was the only way out of this. Mark sighed and nodded." I will wait as you suggested. Don’t you even think of falling in love with the Lady Alpha, "he warned. "Never, "I replied, and I kissed his lips softly. "I need to leave now. Alpha Benedict must be waiting for me," I added as I slid
