Not My Alpha Chapter 9
Keira’s POVToday is the day my father visits. I’m really excited for it, I haven’t seen anyone from my old pack in such a long time. But as excited as I am, Dawson doesn’t seem to be in the best mood. I’m trying to not bring attention to it. After my shower, I walk out into the bedroom. Dawson is getting dressed.“I have to meet my father. But I’ll be down for breakfast.” He says. He kisses my cheek and heads out. I get dressed and dry my hair, then I head down to the dinning hall and find Sam and Cleo, two warrior friends I’ve made here.“Hey Luna.” Everyone calls me Luna now, it feels weird because they have a Luna.“Hey. Morning!” I take a seat next to them. Macie brings me a plate and some coffee. The plate has hash browns, sausage, and scrambled eggs, with some toast.“Thanks Macie.” She smiles at me.“Man do you know everyone?” Cleo asks.“No, just the important ones.” I smile and start eating. They tell me about training today. I wish I could

Keira’s POVOver the next few weeks things went back to normal around the pack house, and between me and Dawson. He stopped drinking like he said, and things have been like they were in the beginning, blissful. Two days ago he was sent out on a mission to help an allied pack. He is returning today after successfully fighting back some rogues. I’m happy he had a successful mission without getting hurt. He and the other warriors are planning to arrive back around dinner time, so the pack is planning a big feast. The Luna and I worked together to plan the feast. This is the first event I’ve had a hand in planning, and I’m really excited for it. “Alright, I think that just about finishes that. It’s up to the kitchen staff now to have it all ready for tonight.” Luna Bethany says. “I’m looking forward to it.” I tell her.“We only have an hour before Dawson arrives, why don’t you run up and get ready.” She says.“Thanks Luna, I’ll see you later.” I head up stairs
Not My Alpha Chapter 11
Keira’s POVI remember the feeling of pain, then I must’ve passed out, I don’t remember anything after that. My head hurts. I open my eyes and a bright white light pours in. Where am I? I blink a few times before my vision clear up. I’m in a hospital bed and I’m alone. I remember running from Dawson after he knocked out Harrison. I remember Dawson catching me and attacking me. My hand touches my face. It’s covered in bandages. What did that monster do to me? The curtain is pulled back and Macie enters.“Macie.” I whisper, my throat is dry. “Luna, you’re awake. How are you feeling?” She asks.“Like crap.” I say. “Could I have some water?” I ask her. She nods her head and leaves for just a minute before coming back with a yellow cup and a straw. She positions the straw to my lips. I sip a few big gulps, quenching my thirst. After I’m satisfied I clear my throat. “What happened?” I ask Macie. She looks down and away from me. “Alpha Dawson.. he attacked y

Keira’s POVTwo days have passed since I woke up in the hospital. Macie has been by my side this whole time. Harrison visited too. I heard Dawson was sent away on another mission. I wonder what plan the Alpha and Luna have, I mean they can’t keep Dawson away on missions forever. I’ve thought about what Macie suggested. But I can’t just abandon my pack. I need to come up with a solution, or maybe I just endure it for them. I’m not sure what the right thing to do is. The doctor said I’m going to be released today. Macie told me that the entire pack is excited to see me again. I’m truly thankful I’ve met so many wonderful people in this pack. I don’t want to cause them any issues. Why does Dawson have to be like this? He’s ruining everything I’ve ever thought about fated mates. I think they’re more of a curse than a blessing.“You ready to leave Luna?” Macie asks.“Yes please.” I still have some bruising and a cut, but the pain is mostly gone. I get out of bed and Maci
Not My Alpha Chapter 13
Keira’s POVI take off running away from the lands of Pale Moon Pack. When I reach the mouth of a river I stop to take a break. It’s still dark outside, and I put another couple of miles in between me and our borders. I’m exhausted and starving. Macie packed me some snacks for the way. I unwrap a protein bar and take a huge bite out of it. Macie said her head omega passes these out when the omegas need a boost of energy in between meals. It has a soft and gritty texture, and it doesn’t taste very good. I check the wrapper. Chocolate chip peanut butter. It has a slight peanut taste but absolutely no chocolate chips at all. Still I’m so hungry I finish it in two bites and pull out another one. Apple cinnamon flavor. This one tastes slightly better, and isn’t as gritty as the chocolate chip. I eat this one just as quick and then I wash down my dinner with a few good gulps from my water bottle. Then I take out the piece of paper Macie gave me. It’s a map of the area, and some d

Keira’s POV“Let me show you where you’ll be going.” Samara says. She pulls out a map. This one’s more detailed than the one Macie gave to me. “Here is Cedar Creek Pack.” She points to a small area north of where I am now. It’s a good distance from Pale Moon and Elk Forest. “When can I go there?” I ask.“We can head out now! I’ll come along to help you get settled. Let me get ready.” “You don’t have to.” “It’s better if I do. You’ll have to cut ties with your old pack and join the new one. Plus I’d like to see my old friend.” She says before heading to the back of the house. I wait on the couch for her to come back. A few minutes later she returns with a small bag and a book. “Alright, I’m ready to go.” She says. I grab my bag and we set off. I follow her through the forest.“We’ll take my car.” She yells back.“You have a car?” I ask.“Of course I do. Do you think I’m some hermit that lives in the woods?” She replies with a laugh.
Not My Alpha Chapter 15
Keira’s POVMy alarm goes off at seven o’clock. I didn’t want to sleep in too much, just incase someone got here early. I get dressed and eat a banana. There was some fruit and food in the fridge left by Lynn. I don’t know how to cook a lot of things, but I can make eggs, which is what I had for dinner last night. This is going to be such a different world for me. Making all my own meals, and working. I never thought about what this life would be like. I take a shower and get dressed. I look so bizarre with my new hair, it’s definitely going to take some getting used to. I hear someone open the door to the shop, there are three bells that hang from the handle. I head down stairs and through the kitchen. But then I think, what if Dawson has found me? What if it’s someone coming to take me back to him. “Hello?” I say. I look around for a weapon. Then a girl with pink hair pokes her head into the kitchen. I jump.“Oh my gosh I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. I
Not My Alpha Chapter 16
Keira’s POVOver the next few days I work with Talia on learning all the different drinks and cleaning up the shop to get it ready for the grand re-opening. Talia was nice enough to make me a chart to follow for some of the more complicated drinks, I have it laminated and taped to the counter for easy access. I’ve also been learning how to work the register, and how to clean and maintain all the different equipment. There’s the coffee pots, the espresso machine, the grinders, the milk steamer, the dispensers where we store the cold brew, and chai, and even the dishwasher. It’s a lot of new information so Talia also made me a daily and weekly cleaning/ maintenance checklist for everything. I’ve been keeping pretty busy with the coffee shop, but I’ve also managed to begin updating my new apartment. I picked a pale yellow color for my walls and had Dave order me a few gallons. When I’m not training in the shop, I’ve been deep cleaning and painting my apartment. Talia and Dave

Theo’s POVI’m in a tent meeting with my allied Alpha’s when Grace steps in. “Alpha Theo,” she nods to me then to the other Alphas, showing her respect for our positions. “Forget the formalities Grace. It’s not necessary.” I say. “What’s the news.” “Sir, Pale Moon is awake, our spies say it’s just a matter of waiting for their Alpha to give them the word.” Pale Moon Pack arrived a few miles outside of our borders late last night, before stopping to make camp and rest. A few of my men wanted to attack then, to have the element of surprise on our side, but I refused. There were still some of our women and children who hadn’t evacuated yet, I didn’t want to risk any lives unnecessarily. Our strategy in this battle is mostly defensive. “Get the warriors lined up and ready, I want my men on the left and right sides, intermixed with the allied forces. We’re going to funnel them forward, and hope that our endurance will out last theirs.“Dawson’s POV“Alpha, we should be coming up on t

Keira’s POVWe arrive outside of Pale Moon pack’s territory, and I feel a mix of emotions. This is my first time returning to the pack that I thought was going to be my home for the rest of my life. The last time I was here I had just stabbed Dawson and ran away ready to spend the rest of my life in hiding, as an omega. Now I’m back, and I’m going to liberate this pack and everyone in it from that piece of shit I used to call ‘mate’.“Have we received any word on the Pale Moon warriors returning?” I ask Shepard.“No, no one has said anything.” I can tell he’s anxious about his pack. Cedar Creek is facing a large army without their beta, if Dawson attacks it’s going to really do some damage to their men. I reach out and grab his hand.“I’m sure they’ll be alright. Theo has support, and you said it yourself He knows how to strategize.” I say, squeezing his hand for comfort.“Keira, it looks like we’ll have to seize Pale Moon.” Fafnir says. He’s right. We haven’t heard back from Dawson

Keira’s POVShepard and I make our way back into the pack house for the party. Thankfully no one really notices us come in, except for my mother who makes eyes at me from across the room. Her look tells me that she wants to know if I’ve cooled off since my little fit. I respond with only my face, saying that yes, I’m fine.My mother and I have always been able to communicate with one another without using words. It’s something special between us that I’ve always treasured. I follow behind Shepard as we make our way over to the refreshments. Shepard get us both a glass of champagne. I take a big swig as he and I mingle around. No one at the party asks about Shepard and I. Which is good because I wouldn’t even know how to answer them. I’m not entirely sure what to do about this whole Shepard situation. It’s too early for us to make anything official by going public, but I’m definitely not going to hide it either. Shepard deserves better than that. I finish my champagne and grab myself

Keira’s POVMason is standing there staring at us.“Mason-“ I start, but Mason cuts me off.“It looks like I am interrupting you guys, so I’m going to head back first.” Mason turns and hurries back to the pack house. “Mason.” I say again, but this time he ignores me.“So is that a bad thing?” Shepard asks.“Mason always had a crush on me. But it’s never been anything more than that. Ugh, like I didn’t have enough to think about.” Of course this has to happen now.“We should head back.” Shepard says. He starts walking back but I don’t want to follow him. When he realizes I’m standing still he turns to me. “I really don’t want to go back in there.” I say, whining. Shepard laughs. “You’re going to have to face it at some point, you may as well get it over with.” He says. I sigh. “Do you think my father’s right? I mean, now that I’ve calmed down, I can see how it could be perceived that I ran away from my fated mate to be with you.” I say. Of course it’s not true, but not everyone k

Keira’s POVI wake up the next morning to an unfamiliar room. I sit up quickly, panicked, but quickly calm when I realize that I’m in Shepard’s cabin. I smile as I recall the events of last night. Shepard and I together.. the prospect of our future happiness brightens my smile to a laugh. Then I yawn and stretch, placing my feet on the cold wooden floor. I gaze around the creaky old cabin, when I realize for the first time that I’m alone. “Shepard?” I call his name, although I already know I’ll receive no response. This cabin is only one room, and I’m the only one in it. I wonder where he could’ve gone? I get up and see my clothes all neatly folded in a stack on the dining table. I chuckle again at this kind gesture from Shepard, and I take it as a sign that he just wanted to let me sleep in. I get dressed and make my way over to the pack house for breakfast. I walk into the cafeteria, and scan the room for Shepard, but I still don’t see him anywhere. “Good morning Keira.” I look o

Keira’s POV“I can’t believe he did all that to you.” Mason says to me. I just finished explaining to him and Lily what my life was really like with Dawson. “We can’t let that maniac continue to run rampant.” Lily says.“I agree. There has to be something we can do to stop him.” My father says. There’s a knock on the door of the office. Both my mother, father, and Mason all say come in at the same time. They share a few looks, technically this is my mother’s office but Mason is the acting alpha which is higher rank. A messenger walks in and bows. “What is it?” Alpha Mason asks. “A member of the werewolf council is here Alpha.” He says.“The werewolf council?” My mother says. “Oh yes, Alpha Theo said he was going to the werewolf council to tell them about Dawson’s crimes.” I say, “They must be here in regards to those claims.” Shepard adds. “Then let’s go see what he has to say about it all.” My father says. We all head out of the office and downstairs. I see a man with long blac

Keira’s POV“We’ve finally received word from the warriors!” Someone shouts as they burst through the doors of the dining hall. Shepherd and I standup, leaving our half eaten breakfasts behind, and head to my mother’s office. I knock on the door.“Come in.” She calls out. We walk in and see her sitting at her desk, still reading a piece of white paper.“I’m guessing you are here about this?” She says, pulling her glasses down from her nose and holding up the paper in her hands. “I’m not too keen on showing it to your friend, but here.” She holds it out to me. I walk over and take it from her. I start to read it and I’m shocked. Dawson killed Alpha Thorin in a challenge. I can’t believe it. My hand covers my mouth in shock. I feel a hand rubbing my back, it’s Shepard. The letter also says that Mason and Lily have been found and that Mason has taken on the role as Alpha now. They are headed back home and the don’t think they are being pursued by Pale Moon pack. At the end it says the

Mason’s POVI feel a pain in my chest and then suddenly the voices of my pack come rushing in. They’re all crying out for my father, Alpha Thorin. I fall to my knees, and hold on tight to Lily as their cries continue to fill my head. The weight of their sorrow mixed with my own is almost too much to bear. But with my father’s last breath, I can feel my own wolf gaining strength. I’m next in line, I will be the new Alpha. I stand to my feet, pushing down the voices in my head. “I need to get to my pack now.” I say.“Head in that direction, that’s where your soldiers should be. We’re going to have to part ways here.” The man who rescued us says. I hurry and run as fast as my body will let me in the direction that he pointed. I can smell my pack’s scent getting stronger and stronger as I approach.“Halt!” I hear some one shout to me. I know it’s one of my own men.“It’s me, it’s Mason.” I reply. Some warriors come out from behind the trees. The looks on their faces tell me everything.
Not My Alpha Chapter 37
Beta Harth’s POV“Alpha Dawson, I CHALLENGE YOU!” Alpha Thorin shouts for all to hear. Dawson starts to laugh.“You can’t be serious. You want to challenge me. You think you’ll just be everyone’s Alpha? The council won’t allow that.” Dawson says.“I’ll give my son the Alpha position at Elk Forest. Then find a suitable replacement for me at Pale Moon. I trust my son to be a better Alpha. Your father knew you’d bring his pack down.” Dawson growls at Thorin.“Now accept my challenge, unless you’re scared.” “Alpha, do you believe this is the right move?” I ask him through mindlink. “If I win, I can save us from a war.” He says.“And if you lose? What will happen with the pack.” “Save Mason, he’ll be the new Alpha.” He replies.“But Alpha-“ he cuts off the mindlink. Dawson looks pissed off.“Fine, I accept. And after I win, my warriors will tear yours apart.” Dawson says. Thorin steps forward and meets Dawson in the middle. I can’t believe
