Saved By the Alpha Chapter 20 | Pursue
Penelope I can’t help but tilt my head back in frustration. Perhaps this is what I get for trying to pursue Donovan in his office. But I didn’t know when an opportunity would rise to go to his room, so I felt this was my only chance. Maybe I should try going to his room in the middle of the night? At least that way we won’t get interrupted. He calls out to whoever is outside the door, “Wait a minute.”He lifts me up and for a moment we’re lost in one another’s eyes, and I think he might kiss me again. But instead, he clears his throat and says in a low tone, “Get dressed and get back to your book, Penelope.”I press my lips together as I nod and get off his desk. I put my romper on as he puts on his shirt, and I can’t help the humiliation rising inside of me, causing tears to prickle my eyes. He can flip a switch so easily and suddenly it’s like this whole thing never even happened! Why is he like this? Then again, he is the Alpha. I suppose it's best to keep his business and per

Penelope Donovan grabs my hand and leads me toward the door, and I say, “Wait, I should probably get dressed. I should get in something more... I don't know, date appropriate?” Honestly, I feel like I look so disheveled that anyone who sees us will know exactly what we were up to. I'm sure it doesn't look that way, but I would like to be refreshed for our date. He turns to me and his eyes glance down to my neck and the corners of his mouth twitch up as he says, “Yeah, I’m sure you want something to cover those marks. Sorry about that. I didn't realize that I gave you so many.”My eyebrows furrow as I question, “So many what? What marks?”He chuckles and shakes his head and says, “You’re so cute, Pen, I forget how…" He puts a finger to his chin as he try to think of the perfect word and then continues, "I forgot how innocent you can be.”My eyebrows raise, but he puts his hand on the small of my back as he leads me out of his office and says, “Let’s go to your room and find you somet

Penelope Violet said for me to dress in something comfortable, but I still wanted to be cute. The whole ordeal with Xavier has me shaken, but I feel more in awe of Donovan than ever before. Even though our plans for the night changed, I'm still picturing this as a version of a date and I want to look good for it. I found some comfortable sleep shorts and a t-shirt and a lightweight hoodie. With the hood up I am able to hide most of the marks Donovan gave me during our heated time together. I walk into the living room where somehow Violet already had a mountain of food prepared. I take everything in with wide eyes and suddenly Donovan’s arms are wrapped around me and he places a kiss on my cheek. He says, “My sister was already planning a movie night. So, she just made extra food when she decided she wanted us to join.”My body is stiff underneath his arm and I’m unsure if I should relax or if I should move to sit somewhere else. He looks at me with a confused expression, like he’s n

Penelope Walking into Donovan’s room, I can’t help but look around. It’s a pretty neutral bedroom and has no real color scheme or anything to it. It’s very basic and I wonder how he can feel at home here whenever it’s so bland. He doesn’t seem like a bland person, so it surprises me. I watch as he walks to the right side of the bed and takes his shirt off and my eyes go wide as I see every muscle. He looks at me while holding his shirt as he says, “I hope you don’t mind; I prefer to sleep in my boxers.”My mouth feels dry as I shake my head no and he smirks as he takes off his pants, just leaving him in his boxers that hang low off his hips. It's hard not to stare and ogle him when he's so muscular that he makes my mouth salivate with thoughts of the things we could do. He looks at me and says, “Please, do whatever makes you comfortable.”With comfort in mind, I go ahead and take off my bra, but I’m careful not to reveal anything. Although, he’s already seen me fully naked, this feel

Penelope Something got thrown over my head, making me unable to see. I thrash around desperately and must’ve landed a few shots as I hear whoever is trying to take me grunt or squeal. Finally, I get thrown on the floor and I rush to get the thing off my head. It takes a moment for my eyes to adjust to the light, but when they do, I see five girls standing around me with their arms crossed. And they look pissed. These are Xavier's girls, the girls I sought help from and they refused me. I don’t understand why they seem so angry with me when I haven’t done anything. We never even talk to one another, when would I have had the chance to piss them off? My eyes flicker to each one of them and I notice three of the girls have noticeable bruises on their neck and on their faces. The other two girls look disheveled and have dark circles around their eyes and one of them looked a bit too skinny and I wondered if she has been eating appropriately. There’s a girl with long black hair who snap
Saved By the Alpha Chapter 25 | Walk
Penelope My mind feels muddled as I walk around the pack grounds. I don't know how to help those girls and I don't know how to make my new relationship with Donovan stronger, where I'd feel comfortable talking to him about the whole Xavier situation. I try to focus on the pack, on learning my way around here. This is my home now and I need to know my way around. Honestly, I'm in awe of how gorgeous this pack is. So much land, tall trees that provide the perfect amount of shade for a long walk. There was a babbling brook nearby, and all the nature sounds were enough to help the tension in my shoulders release. I continue my walk and notice that there seem to be a lot of people out today. I shouldn’t be surprised; we’re having great weather. But the weird thing is that everyone says hello to me or wants to stop and have a conversation. Is this pack really just that friendly? It just seems overkill. Then again, my only experience with people was from my teachers at the Academy and w

Penelope The relief I felt when I saw Violet appear is indescribable. I can't explain how glad I am that Violet came over to help me. I don’t know what was making those boys want to be near me, it’s weird. Honestly, the entire day has been weird. It wasn't just boys that wanted to be around me. It was men, women, children, any and everyone! Why?! But now my head is aching, and I feel lightheaded from how bad it hurts. I hurry back to the pack house lie on my bed with my eyes closed, hoping that eventually the pain would fade. There’s a knock on my door, but it doesn’t surprise me. I bet it’s Violet coming to talk to me about the weirdness of today. I grumble as I bring my fingers up to my temples, "Come in." The door opens and I’m surprised when I hear Donovan’s voice, “Are you okay, Penelope?”I force myself to sit up even though my head hurts so badly that it’s the last thing I want to do. I nod, “Yeah, I’m okay. Just have a headache."He questions, “Why are you in here instead
Saved By the Alpha Chapter 27 | Request
Donovan Life is so much better now that I have finally gotten over my concerns about having a mate. Penelope... Penelope is everything I could possibly want. Her presence is infectious and I'm always smiling whenever she is near. But I’ve been spending time with Penelope for a few days now and I really understand what Violet was talking about. People flock toward Penelope. A part of me wants to feel happy about it. It's obvious that my pack likes her and will be thrilled when they learn she is going to be Luna. But... it’s really weird to watch, especially as Alpha of this pack. Normally, people would come to me to ask me questions or make request, but no one acknowledges me. They all focus on her. They compliment her, they ask her where she’s from, and if she wants to hang out. And she’s so polite and for the most part, she seems to be oblivious to how odd all of this is. It’s cute, but it just shows how naïve she is. Every day that goes by, it seems like she is getting more atte

15 years since Violet was born. Penelope The years have been good to us. I have seen so much of the world and felt more free than I ever could've imagined. It's just the three of us, we never had another kid. We talked about it... more than once, but ultimately we were fearful of how it could affect our safety. Nothing was worth the chance of putting Violet in even more danger than she already is. I lie in bed with Donovan snuggled up beside me. Uneasiness churns in my stomach and I know that something is going on that we don't know yet. Call it my 6th sense or mother's intuition, I just know something's off. Donovan kisses my head and mumbles, "Turn off your thoughts, Pen. Everything is fine."I let out a breath, hoping that he's right. He pushes himself up and looks me in the eye as he asks, "We're fine, we're safe, we'll be at Cora's in the morning."We haven't seen Cora for over 6 months now. We've been in Asia for the last half of the year and although we have enjoyed our tra

Five years later.PenelopeI sit across from Amelia at the table as we each sip on our coffee and watch our girls play together. A few months after I had Violet, Amelia had a little girl that they named Magnolia. It's fun watching our daughters play together, but the interesting thing is how similar they look to me and Amelia.Violet looks almost exactly like me except that her hair was curly like her dad's and her blue eyes had a green circle around the pupil. Magnolia looks just like Amelia, with her blonde hair and jade green eyes. The two of them together like this makes me wonder how mine and Amelia's childhood could've been different if our mom hadn't put me in the Academy and if our dad hadn't been a monster.Amelia brings the cup to her lips before setting it down and asking, "So, where are you headed this time?"Donovan, Violet, and I are constantly moving around.

PenelopeI hate waiting. I know that Cora and Donovan are both safe and they are working out a way to get him home, but it’s hard not to feel anxious about the entire thing. It’s been five days. It’s weird getting used to taking care of a newborn and going through this healing process on my own. But because I’m a werewolf, I heal faster than a human would, so I mean, that’s a good thing.It’s harder getting used to take care of a baby. I’ve never been around them much so tending to all of her needs all of the time is very taxing, physically, mentally, and emotionally! Add in all of the drama with Donovan and it’s surprising I haven’t had a complete mental break down from all of the stress.I breathe out as I cook dinner, eager to hear if there was any progress today. I need them back home… it’s hard not to feel depressed when all I have is myself and my racing thoughts.There’s a loud bang and for a moment, I freeze.

I can’t believe he’s okay and away from Xavier.But then Cora pops my bubble as she says, “You have to stay here, Penelope.”My eyebrows knit together as I question, “What are you talking about? I need to go see him. He’s my mate.”“I know that and trust me, Penelope, he wants to see you and Violet more than anything else in this world, but you won’t be going to see him right now.”I cross my arms defiantly as I ask, “And why not?”She breathes out, exasperated with my attitude, before saying, “Because I’m trying to keep you safe and Donovan specifically requested for you not to come.”Her words hurt and I can’t help the pain I felt in my heart from hearing that my mate didn’t want me. Instantly, Cora’s eyes soften and she says, “I didn’t mean it like that, Penelope. Xavier let Donovan go. Donovan knows he must have a tracker on him or something! Why el

Xavier is strong, and he is growing more powerful. He brought me back to the Moon Stone pack lands and I know now that he plans to rebuild here and to become an Alpha. But right now, there are days that go by that no one is coming to check on me. I’m learning their patterns and when they’re vulnerable. I need to get home and I would do anything to make sure that I can escape Xavier’s clutches.When I leave here, I can’t go straight to Cora’s, even though I want to see Penelope more than anything in the world. No, I need to go somewhere else. Perhaps to the Renegade Pack. I need to make sure that there is no tracker on me so that I don’t put Penelope and our daughter in danger.I think one of the big reasons that Xavier isn’t worried about me being watched at all times is because he already has a plan in motion. He knows that I wo

PenelopeIt’s been two weeks since Cora came home and Donovan never returned. Life feels like it has lost all meaning without Donovan around.I feel like my baby bump doubled and size and like Violet is moving around more. I think that she’s antsy because she knows that her daddy isn’t home. Or maybe I’m crazy and this is normal for this point in a pregnancy.Cora caters to me constantly. Honestly, she’s going a bit overboard and I’ve tried to get her to settle down, but I think that the guilt is eating her alive and she’s doing the best that she can to get through everything. I still have roughly a month left to get through this pregnancy. That means that Donovan has no help coming for him for over a month. He’ll have to figure out how to escape alone or he’ll have to hold on until I get there.Cora sets a cup of tea down beside me, and she watches me. I can feel her eyes on me and she sighs, “He wouldn’t want you to come after him.’I bite my tongue so hard that tears prickle in my

Before even getting out of the car to investigate, I know in my gut that this crash was intentional.My wolf is on high alert, knowing that the threat is somewhere we can't see. I huff as I turn to look at Cora and say, “When I get out of the car, I want you to drive off. Head home as fast as you can and make sure no one is following you.”She looks disoriented, but she nods her head and says, “Okay.”I breathe out, trying to steady myself before getting out where I know for a fact that I will be attacked. I open the door and as the dust from the wreck clears; I watch as I see Xavier appear across from me. He stands tall with his arms crossed as he smirks at me. I shut the door behind me and turn my head to the side as I say to Cora, “Go! And keep her safe.”To my relief, Cora doesn’t hesitate to drive of

PenelopeI didn't realize how incredibly boring it would be to be completely by myself. There’s nothing to do. I’ve already cleaned everything, I’ve tended to the garden, I’ve cooked dinner, I’ve scoured the internet for ideas for Violet’s nursery, and now I’m just sitting on the couch, bored.I tried to read a book but I find myself unable to focus. My wolf feels anxious, which is an odd behavior for her. I would let her go out for a run, but I’m pretty sure Donovan would have my head if he knew I went running without him to protect me.I breathe out as I lay my head back. I wish he would call me or mind link me. I would try to link him, but I don’t want to distract him in case he is in danger. Eventually… I fall asleep. I don’t know how long I’ve been asleep, but when I wake up, it’s from the back door slamming shut. I jump and I’m wide awake and ready to attack until I hear Cora’s voice yell, “Penelope! Are you okay?”I rush towards her and I say, “I’m fine.” I notice a cut on her

DonovanIt was only a one-day trip to get to the White Fang Pack. Cora and I sit on the outskirts of it and observe to see how hard it would be to break inside. The patrol here sucks. They’re slow, they talk a lot, they are never quiet enough to listen to their surroundings to see if a threat could be present, and they leave their post without waiting for someone to take their place. It’s like they’re begging for someone to attack their pack and take advantage of their vulnerabilities.I grind my teeth in frustration. If my pack was like this, then I could understand how we were overthrown. My pack was ready. We just couldn’t handle how powerful the threat was. But this pack… I feel like I could overthrow them by myself. I wouldn’t. That’s not the kind of man I am and I don’t want to draw attention to myself. I know that Xavier is still out looking for me and because of that, I need to stay down low as long as possible. Cora asks, “What do you think?”“I think I could easily get you
