Edeline

I only had my family now. Sorry, I don't have any friends. Sorry, but no. I felt like I was being ignored.

Darius started to get really mad. "That's ridiculous!" He pulled me close, wrapping his arms around me.

"I couldn't help but see Darius. The bond between us was just too strong. He explained that he spoke to your dad about us separating for the sake of his wolf, your safety, the sanity of the packs, and especially the safety of the pups because of Tatiana." I couldn't hold back my tears.

I sensed his reaction, his jaw tightening. "I'll have a chat with my dad about this, Edeline."

I gave a little shake of my head. "Nah, better not. It'll just make things more complicated."

He felt a surge of frustration, his muscles tensing in his arms. "I got this. No need to stress. But... what's with the scent in the air?" He tightened his jaw as he leaned back to observe me.

I felt my cheeks burn with a deep blush, but Darius had always been so straightforward.

"Um, I had a little mo

    EdelineI squinted at the clock on my nightstand—10 a.m. already. My brother, Nixx, would be arriving around noon. We were throwing a party to celebrate his return, and I could already smell the tantalizing aroma of roasting pig wafting through the air, even though I hadn’t yet stepped out of the pack house.How am I going to get through today?With a groan, I dragged myself out of bed and shuffled to the bathroom on the other side of the room. The mirror reflected a tired version of myself—sunken cheeks, dull eyes, and a complexion that looked drained. I winced at the sight. Whatever I’d been dealing with lately had clearly taken a toll.Tatiana, from that old-school pack, had me worried. I had a gut feeling that Percival would eventually notice her, despite what he might say. If her father was adamant about certain traditions, Percival wouldn’t have much choice but to notice her, even if it meant dealing with either unmated she-wolves or pack land.I’d heard that pack land was quite

    EdelineHe was offering me a way out.How could I continue hanging out with my best friend under these conditions?I nodded, feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders. I was deeply upset—this pain was overwhelming. It seemed like others’ decisions were negatively impacting my life, and I was left to deal with the fallout. And what did he mean by “things I don’t know”?Fuming, I stormed out of his office and made my way to my parents' house through the back door. I needed the comfort of family right now. I’d cried so much that self-pity was the last thing on my mind. My emotions were raw, and I was beyond frustrated.As I walked along the dusty path to my parents' home, I noticed a couple of girls my age whispering and casting glances in my direction. I wanted to retreat, but my inner wolf was itching for a confrontation. I paused and made eye contact with them, holding their gaze firmly.They exchanged uneasy looks, their eyes widening slightly before they quickly looked away. T

    EdelineWe hadn’t planned on letting him know about the current issues just yet. We decided to hold off until after his big homecoming celebration. With Percival and Darius still recovering, the Alpha had suggested that Tatiana stay away for now. We figured it was best not to burden Nixx with the details just yet. He’d likely be ready to confront Percival to defend my honor, and we didn’t want him caught in the middle of this mess. After all, this was Percival’s way of retaliating, and Nixx wouldn’t face any real consequences—he was simply caught up in the crossfire.“Hey there, little sis,” Nixx said, settling down next to me and casually wrapping his arm around me in a side hug. He was much taller than me, just like Dad. They both towered over Mom and me. “Any luck finding your mate? How was your shift?”I sidestepped Nixx’s question, and my parents exchanged surprised glances. “The shift went well,” I said, trying to keep my tone light. “I spent hours hanging out with my wolf. I’m

How’s it going?” Alpha William asked, giving Nixx a few friendly pats on the back.“Hey there,” Nixx replied with enthusiasm. “I’m feeling pretty confident. I can’t wait to show everyone what I’m capable of next year. I’m just waiting for that exciting challenge.” His eyes sparkled with determination, and he flashed a wide grin, though a few teeth were missing.“Good job,” Alpha William said, ruffling Nixx’s hair affectionately.Nixx, ever the charmer, drifted over to the group of women gathered around him, his friends trailing behind. I watched, slightly amused, as the crowd buzzed with excitement, clearly focused on the show Nixx was putting on. The women were putting on their best performances, trying to catch the attention of the males, who seemed like eager kids trying to impress their friends.I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. Jasmine, still by my

    EdelineThe day had slipped into evening, and time seemed to blur by in an instant. The sun dipped low on the horizon, casting a fiery glow over the lake beside us. The bonfire crackled and danced, sending bursts of flames into the sky. The only sound was the relentless crackling of burning wood.The crowd had fallen into an uneasy silence. Nixx's eyes, burning with anger, locked onto Percival's. I saw Percival lower his head in embarrassment, then look up again, taking a deep breath and puffing out his chest. He was bracing himself.Nixx approached him, his anger palpable. His fists were clenched so tightly his knuckles had turned bone white. I readied myself, prepared to back him up if needed.“Hey, you can’t disrespect my sister like that!” Nixx shouted, his voice raw with emotion. His veins bulged on his neck and forehead. Percival, however, remained calm, though a flicker of sorrow lingered in his piercing blue eyes. I could sense the weight of the situation. Percival had lost ev

    EdelineI looked down at his shoes, my voice trembling. “I just wanted you to enjoy your party before you found out,” I said, crying. My heart felt shattered, the broken pieces digging deeper into me. I wanted to escape, as if I didn’t belong here.We embraced tightly, finding solace in each other’s arms. Nixx placed a gentle kiss on my hair, his voice a soft rumble as he tried to comfort me.“So, what’s the plan?” His breath tickled my ear as he whispered, making sure no one else caught wind of our conversation.I leaned in, drawing in a deep breath of his familiar scent. It wrapped around me like a comforting blanket. “Just let it be. It’s not his fault. He didn’t know her anger was about to explode. He couldn’t sense it. I’m not sure what’s going to happen... But for now, let’s hold off on taking any action, okay?” My voice was weak, barely above a whisper. I felt drained, my energy ebbing away.“Alright, Edeline. Just tell me what you want, and we can handle it. I’ve got your back

    EdelineI shook my head in disbelief, feeling uneasy. “Sure, no problem. I’ll be okay, don’t worry.”“No!” Nixx’s sharp response made me flinch. “That’s not right. He shouldn’t have control over you like this. Alpha William should know better. I’m going to confront Percival if he doesn’t lift that ban,” he growled.I shifted uncomfortably, trying to defuse the tension. “Sure, sure, but can we just... try to have a good time at the party first?” I looked up at him with wide, pleading eyes, hoping he would leave the issue alone for now.After taking a quick look at my face, Nixx gave me a brief nod, clearly not thrilled but willing to go along with it. For now, we’d just have to pretend everything was perfectly fine.He guided me toward the bonfire, where single females nearby exchanged smiles and vied for his attention. Nixx barely glanced their way. One woman, with a playful flutter of her eyelashes, approached us, her hand resting lightly on his shoulder.“Hey, Nixx! It’s great to se

    Edeline“No way, that’s not possible,” he shouted, his voice filled with disbelief. “She’s an Alpha’s daughter. Her mate would have to be an Alpha.”My legs trembled uncontrollably, my knees feeling like they might buckle beneath me. Days of hunger had left me weak, my strength sapped. I felt as if I might collapse at any moment. Just before I hit the ground, strong arms caught me. I didn’t even need to look up to know who it was; I could feel the electric warmth of their presence coursing through me.I felt like a cosmic joke, the Moon herself playing tricks on me. Each heartbreak seemed like a cruel twist of the knife, making me question if I would ever find peace. If the Moon was handing out favors, I wished she’d let me leave this place behind, take me somewhere I could find some respite.The Moon certainly had a twisted sense of humor.Tatiana was Nixx’s partner, yet he wasn’t exactly the dominant type. It was an ironic twist, given the way the situation had unfolded....Edeline

    Percival Edeline’s eyes were locked on me as she marched over, grabbing my forearm and pulling me along with her. The contact felt like fire igniting on my skin. She was fired up—angry, for sure.She dragged me into the equipment shed, out of sight, and then—wham!—she whacked me right in the eye.I let out a low growl and slowly turned my face back to hers. Anger radiated off her as she raised her other hand, ready to swing at me again. I managed to grab her wrist before she could land another hit, squeezing gently around her slim wrist. “What the heck, Edeline?!” I exclaimed, my lip curling to reveal my fang. Low warning growls rumbled from my chest. The wolf inside me was not thrilled, but at least she appreciated that this wasn’t happening in front of the pack. Don’t mess with my authority.“Hey! Did you give that girl false hope or what? I know you have not hooked up with her because I would have sensed it!” Her nose wrinkled, eyes blazing with fury. Then, I caught a scent from

    Percival Promoting her to lead female warrior might not have been the best decision after all. She was my top fighter, having trained hard before I stepped in, but now I was left questioning my judgment. We didn’t have an expert on board yet, and Jazz’s ambition made me wary.She tucked a loose, curly strand behind her ear, looking up at me with her big green eyes, her skin a lovely shade of creamed coffee. She was undeniably pretty, but just not my type. “Hey, Percival... what if we tried something different with the ladies?” She edged closer, taking a deep breath as if to check out my scent.It might sound wild, but the night before last, after showering and snuggling up in bed with Edeline, I had rubbed against her, soaking in her scent. Waking up without her made me skip a shower yesterday—or maybe even today. I just wanted to hold onto that connection a little longer. Jazz caught a whiff of Edeline’s scent, and her eyebrows shot up.“Hey, is Edeline back?” she asked, her voice

    Edeline“I totally get it, Nixx. It is something else. Really special. I see what you mean.” My gaze drifted to his cuffs, curiosity piquing as I furrowed my brow. “Have you been a bit risky? What does your world do to people?” I tilted my head, observing the way he passed the bracelet back to me, unable to take his eyes off it.“My wolf is stronger, you know? Sometimes I just cannot control him and end up lashing out at people who get on my nerves. Percival dealt with the same stuff. He wants to help me train like Gaspar did for him, but all I can think about is Tatiana and the pup I lost. It is tough.” A wave of sadness washed over him, dimming the light in his eyes.“Nixx,” I sighed, “why are you still hung up on losing the pup? Mirabelle was only a few months along, right? You never even met him, and you can have pups with your real mate. You could not have had both. Tatiana would have been jealous of you and him. Trust me, I get it. Tatiana is a beta, and her wolf would have want

    EdelineHe really needed his not-so-little sister. I would hit him up first, and then maybe I would finally have the guts to talk to Percival about everything. After some tough training, of course. It had been a few days since I had a solid training session. Muscle disappears faster than it builds up, and I really hoped that did not happen. If I wanted to keep being the warrior I had turned into, I had to stay on top of my stamina. But I was not sure my buddy would let me train, especially since my heat was just around the corner, and my scent was driving everyone wild. I had to remember to grab my tea after I hopped out of the shower. As I walked in the front door of my parents’ place, the cozy scent of clove hit me, pulling me back into sweet memories. I could not help but think about what might happen during this heat. The last one just did not do it for me. Did I even want him to help me out this time? Or would I just prefer to be out of it for that? I figured the latter was

    EdelineI stared down at our hands, chewing on his words. He might have a point. When I left and went to Conrad’s place, I told myself I was moving on. I threw myself into letting it all go—this life, these people, everything. But once I got some space, the wolves around me nudged me toward the truth. They made me confront my feelings about Percival, especially after I caught myself feeling jealous over him. He was just my friend, nothing more, but still... I had to deal with that. But Darius? I buried that pain deep and left it to rot. Never talked about him, never thought about him for too long. I got stronger, yeah. But I didn’t heal. Not really. And that’s why I’m still stuck. I turned my head toward William, blinking back the sting in my eyes. “How am I supposed to feel about him?” My voice cracked, and I felt my throat tighten again. “Look at what he did.” I swallowed hard, trying to keep it together, but the words dragged me down, making my chest feel heavy. “How am I s

    EdelineI never really hated Percival before that. He had done some stuff, sure—but it never made me hate him. Not until that night. That night, I hated him more than anything. My wolf hated him too. My skin side—yeah, she wanted revenge just as bad. But then the truth hit me. Darius was the monster. Not Percival. I spent all of yesterday lying around, trying to make sense of everything. Today, I thought maybe a walk would help me clear my head, so I came here. To the waterfall—the spot I loved the most. And now, here I am. Staring at his grave. Why here? Why did they bury him here of all places? Not in the pack’s graveyard, where the rest of them are. No—right here, beneath the tree that used to be ours. Our spot. My throat tightened, and the tears started before I could stop them. My heart felt like someone had tied a rope around it and was pulling it tighter and tighter. I reached out, tracing his name on the headstone with shaky fingers, as if touching the letters wo

    PercivalI hoped I didn’t annoy her. I understood she was strong, but my Alpha side just wanted to look out for my mate. I was trying to communicate my feelings through the mate bond, to reassure her I was here for her.The corner of her mouth lifted in a quick smile. "It's all good."Shaking my head, I did what I felt compelled to do. I walked over, scooping her up in my arms. She gasped in surprise as I carried her across the room to the salvaged bed. Her eyes widened, taking in the effort I had made to clean up for her."I’ll grab you something to wear. Your clothes are wrecked." I stifled a laugh as I laid her down on the bed. I missed the feel of her skin against mine, even from that brief moment before I had to let her go to find her a t-shirt and some clean boxers.I had both boxers and boxer briefs, but lately, I definitely preferred the briefs. Guess it was just part of growing up!As I returned to her, Edeline’s gaze was fixed on my bare torso. She looked up at me with that

  • Reclaiming My Beloved Alpha   CHAPTER 294: NO MORE RUNNING

    EdelineI would not run anymore.“Hey, let me wash your back, my little warrior.” His breath brushed against my warm skin, and a rush of desire coursed through me as his deep voice stirred something inside. My breath caught in my throat as I locked eyes with him.“I got this.” I really could not let him get close. It would only make the cramps worse, and the desire was already doing a number on me.He nodded, totally understanding what I was thinking through our connection.As he stood up, I could not help but let my eyes wander over him, pausing at his chiseled abs and then down to his pelvis. Right there in the middle was a thick, four-inch tattoo of an infinity symbol.Mated wolves have this thing where they let anyone who catches a glimpse of their skin below the waist know they have a mate. This tattoo meant a lot. A lump formed in my throat as my eyes began to water. How long had he been dealing with this?It was like he could read my mind—probably because he could. He looked

    EdelineHis eyes were no longer filled with wonder; they carried pain and knowledge. Yet, despite it all, those piercing blue eyes had remained the same, shining even brighter against his sun-kissed skin. His hair was longer on top and shorter on the sides, giving him a more polished look.He looked even more handsome now, completely in charge of himself. The way he moved, the way he held himself—it all made me wonder about the changes in him and what had shaped him during our time apart.“You hungry?” His deep voice pulled me back to reality, his eyes locking onto mine.I was still feeling shy, and I wondered why that was.“I’m fine,” I whispered, trying to keep my voice steady.He nodded and made his way to the door. “I’ll give you some space. I can tell you’re not really feeling it with me around. Just hit me up when you’re ready, and I’ll help you get to bed since you’re not feeling great.” He flashed a sad smile and reached for the doorknob.My heart raced a bit. I really did not
