"Alpha Kaden," Shadow bowed her head fast, "I didn't hear you come downstairs.""What was that for?" His voice reeked of impatience, it made my heart skip a beat."I was only messing around alpha, it was completely unnecessary alpha, I'm sorry." Shadow's voice trembled as she spoke.Just then, my mom and beta Riggs walked in through the main door carrying sacks and they must have been having a good laugh before since they were both grining from ear to ear. The silence drew their attention, they stopped in their tracks and my mom's smile faded when she saw me standing there.."How should you be punished?" Alpha Kaden continued to be intimidating, coming closer until he was inches away from her while I stood a few inches away from their middle."I'm sorry Alpha."Alpha Kaden slightly kicked the bucket that was beside her , "fill it up.""Yes alpha." She picked the bucket, rushed into the bathroom and returned with a bucket of water."Now give it to her."Realising what was about to happ
"Hey, are you okay?" Alpha Kaden asked me, his facial expression did not match the concern in his voice.I nodded once, " please put me down." I tried to avoid his gaze.He set me to my feet and stuffed his hands into his pocket, "it's time for pack run, I'll let you and your mom sit this one out, taking an oath to a new pack can be very draining, you should rest."I was so glad I didn't have to join them after what happened downstairs."Yes," I paused, trying to process this without any worries, "alpha."Faintly, I noticed that one corner of his lips tried to pull into a smirk. We headed out of his office and my mom was talking to Riggs about something, they both turned their heads to look at us on arrival.How did my mom not look the least affected? My head still hurt so bad and my legs were wobbly and threatening to give way soon if I didn't find a bed.My mom and Riggs came up to us and I could still sense that weird feeling with my mom. She put one arm around me and bowed her hea
I woke up to very slight snores from Alpha Kaden and looked outside the one window in his room only to find that the moon was still up. I sat up and groaned, rubbing my eyes, “please tell me I did not just sleep for another twenty four hours.”I groaned and tried to get to my feet only to feel his hand clutch onto me tightly on reflex.“Where do you think you're going?” He didn't open his eyes. “I think I might have slept for another entire day.” I told him. If I did though it was worth it, completely dream free and I felt like all my energy had been restored.Alpha Kaden still with his eyes closed ran his hands through the dresser beside his bed and pulled his phone out, he opened his eyes at the screen and returned the phone, “it's only been an hour since you got here. It's two in the morning.”“Really? Why can't I grasp the concept of time?” I shook my head, ”oh well but now I can't go back to bed I'm all energized.”“That's a you problem, now be quiet and let me sleep.”Even thoug
Shayla POVI woke up to a tingling sensation running down my belly. I closed my eyes and tried to focus on sleeping, hoping it would go away on its own, I Was still tired out from last night’s events and wanted nothing more but to be asleep right now.When I noticed the foreign object was now trailing down into my pants, I snapped my eyes open. I calmed realising it was only Ash. With a weak smile, I turned around so I was facing him, his hands moving to my waist while I cupped his cheek. His hand on my waist pulled me closer to him so my body was pressed against his chest."Good morning," I called, trying to stretch in the crammed up tent. I had cramps all over me."I want to ask if you slept well but I'm pretty sure none of us did." Ash's deep husky morning voice always had the same effect on me no matter how many times I'd heard it. Goosebumps trailed up my skin and a sensation grew beneath my thighs.I opened my mouth to say something in response when he tcaptured my lips in his o
His lips against mine caused a spark to arise between my thighs. He cupped my cheeks and pulled me closer to him if that was still possible, causing my chest to lean against his own.His full lips sucked on my upper one and his warm hand on my cheek made me tingle in unimaginable ways. I pulled away to moan and then I ended up groaning, shaking my head reluctantly when he pulled closer to resume kissing me."We should stop," I groaned.I didn't expect him to stop just like that and I whined in a low tune. "You could have at least pretended like you were enjoying it." I rolled my eyes."You wanted me to stop."I felt a disappointment and folded my arms across my chest, "yeah but- ugh," it was pointless. "Look it's just I don't know, what happened in the woods was a mistake-"He draped one arm around me, his face inches away from mine, "what happened in the woods? Why do you say it like we had sex?""I'm not... It's just that... Could... I... You ... Please back away.""Do I make you un
"Oh it's nothing at all alpha, I was just heading downstairs for pack training " Riggs commented with a straight face. He bowed his head a little and walked past me. My cheeks burned in embarrassment as alpha remained holding my wrist while my free hand tried to hold my towel in place. I couldn’t get over the fact that he had just seen me naked.I dared to look up at Riggs and found a smirk on his face and he just winked at me and hell that did not do well to make me feel better in any way.As soon as Riggs had left us both in the room, alpha turned to look at me, "are you okay? You should be watchful of your steps."I pulled free from his hold, keeping my eyes on the ground and nodding fast as I sprinted up the steps not wanting to meet his gaze for any reason."You took a while." My mom called to me once I was alone with her in the bedroom. I nodded, avoiding saying anything so I wouldn't get in trouble.I changed into a sports bra I'd packed and matching black shorts and joined my
"Alpha I'm so sorry," I blinked multiple times, as if trying to make myself understand this wasn't a dream but reality.The silence was deafening and from the stories I'd heard, people died from doing things like this to the famous alpha Kaden."You just hurt a pack member," Alpha Kaden frowned and folded his hands across his chest, "Talie." He pointed out like I didn't know. His eyes darkened and lines formed on his forehead, creeping me out, I hadn't seen him like this yet."She started it!" I pointed my finger at her.Shadow was now standing on her own two feet and sobbing, "I think she broke my fucking wrist, I can't move it.""Well, bitch, you deserved it, after everything you said." I clenched my fists by my side, irritated and feeling the anger all over again."Talie, I'm standing before you, watch your language, and how you speak." Alpha said but my eyes remained fixed on Shadow."Have you no respect? Alpha's literally talking to you and you are disrespecting him, do you even k
When I rejoined The crowd outside there weren’t too many people looking at me like I expected them to. I lowered my gaze and realised that the training had started. I felt awkward participating. Alpha Kaden was nowhere to be seen. I helped myself to a corner and watched the training. It was basically the warriors training the werewolves how to fight. I should have been patient and waited until the fight to beat Shadow's ass.I wanted to head back upstairs but I knew it would only drew unnecessary attention to me.I wrapped my arms around my body, I really didn't belong here.“Hey,” Jack's familiar voice called beside me.“Aren't you going to join the rest of the wolves?” I buried my face in my palm, thinking back to how I'd disrespected Alpha Kaden. It didn't matter much how he treated me when we were alone, I should have given him the ultimate respect.Jack sat down beside me regardless and shrugged his shoulders.“Ugh, you must hate me too.” I groaned, sighing and shaking my head at
Andrea began to walk out of the pack house, and I trailed along behind her, trying my best not to be seen.I watched as She scurried past bushes, and the moment she was getting further away from the pack house, she began to pick up her pace.As if she sensed that someone was following her, so it was hard to keep up with her because it was still a little bit dark. it was barely seven in the morning, and the sun had still not risen. I tried to dodge all the branches, tall grass,as I made my way after her.She stopped in front of a small shack and stepped in. I watched from afar, hidden from any view. Why else would she be in a small shop with my alpha? I swallowed a lump that grew in my throat. It better not be what I was thinking It was.I opened the door slowly. It was dark. "Hello," I called into the darkness. All of a sudden, all the lights flickered on, and I heard a huge confetti sound.I put my hands over my ears, flinching from the fear that came with it. I looked around and saw
I headed back to the pack house all by myself and decided to think nothing of it.I hoped that if Andrea would come back to me and explain the situation, maybe I wouldn't have to be so worried. I stayed in the living room, pacing back and forth and waiting for her to show up. When she began to not, I decided to engage myself in something else, I went back to the office and decided to look through the papers that I wasn't done with. After an hour had passed, I left the office and saw Andrea walking into the pack house."Hey," I said. "I thought You were going to be at Ava's place.""Yeah," i replied. "Turned out that she wasn't home, so I came to the pack almost immediately, and you weren't here. I thought we could have hung out and watched some movies together. Where did you go?""I just had to quickly deal with something." I closed my eyes, started mumbling under my breath, and internally hoped that she should confess and say that she was. But she didn't. I nodded at l her. “Oka
Three months laterAndrea walked into the office where I was busy looking through the paperwork for Alpha so that he wouldn't have to do it so much. I looked up at her and broke into a smile. "If it is not my favorite friend," I said. She smiled back at me, a smile creeping up her lips. She folded her arms across her chest. "What about your dad?”"He's been at your mom's place, like at this point is tiring me out," she chuckled. "Like if you guys want to be together, just say that's something. Why are you wasting our time? Like bro, my younger brothers have been asking me and I have no idea what to tell them.”“Really.” “Yeah.""So I'm going over there to call him back home. I hope he remembers that he has children," I closed the book in front of me. "Well then I'm coming with you because I really want to see my mum too. I have a few things I want to discuss with her.""Okay then, no problem," she said.As we walked to my mom's place, hand in hand, she interlocked her hands with m
I woke up the next morning to snuggly kisses from Alpha. I said in his sleepy voice. “Shouldn't you still be resting after everything that has happened?" He smiled at me. "Why? When I have everything I need here? Get ready. We're going out today." That got me to open my eyes. "Where are we going?"I raised my eyebrow at him. "You just have to find out, my love.”“then you shouldn't have told me. You know how curious I can get." "It's no big deal," he chuckled. "I'm just pulling your leg. I actually just want us to go out and have fun together. Do you know the entire time I was in the middle of the war? The only thing I was thinking about was you. And if you were doing fine, I swear you've taken full control of my mind and body at this point." I couldn't help but laugh at him. "I got my feet all right, I’ll get dressed!"Alpha and I wore matching clothes. I wore a white crop top and jean shorts. He wore a white tank top and jean shorts. He put his hair in a bun, just how I liked
Immediately, he fell forward in my hand. I began to scream, panicking in fear. I tried to balance him on the floor.He was too heavy for me to lift by myself. "Mum," I cried, hoping for whoever was around to come in.My mum immediately ran inside, and surprisingly, Carl tagged along with her. "What's wrong?" "I don't know, he suddenly lost balance.” I cried.My mom immediately tried to check for his pulse. "What's wrong with him? Why is he not breathing?" I asked.She pointed at the floor. "Don't worry, I will fix things. Just get the pack physician," she said. I jerked to my feet, going to do as instructed, immediately wiping my tears with the back of my hand In panic, I was so lost and confused."What happened?!”“I don't understand," I told Andrea as she raced by my side, trying to catch up with me. "Where are you going?""I don't know," I raised my voice after, “I’m clearly as confused as you as you can see, I just want Alpha to be fine." I continued to cry. She didn't say an
We got to Ava's place, and she was happy to see me at the door. She looked confused when she saw Andrea and stared at me, waiting for some sort of explanation."Oh yeah, this is Andrea. She's a new pack member.”“She doesn't smell like she's a part of our pack." She raised an eyebrow."Yeah, that is why I said she's a new pack member.""Ohh, it's nice to see you. What brings you guys here?" Then she realized that the whole thing with Alpha had happened, and then she raised her eyebrows at me. "Oh my goodness, that must be so insensitive of me to ask. I know that Alpha has gone off to war. I can't even imagine how you are dealing with things right now." She tugged my hand and pulled me into the room. "Come on, settle in."Andrea looked around Ava's place. "This is a nice place you've got. And yeah, she did want to come here to get his mind off things because she's been so worried, like Alpha is going to lose the battle or something." Andrea rolled her eyes.I didn't understand why she
I assisted Alpha to pack his things that he would need for the war, and when it was time for him to leave, I found myself sitting on the bed, burying my face in my hands and crying.He hurried to my side and crouched in front of me, he wiped my tears off with the pad of his thumb. In my seated position, I threw my arms around him and wailed against his shoulder."Why are you crying so much?""I don't want anything to happen to you."He pulled away from my embrace. "I just assured you that I'd be fine. Just trust me, okay?"I nodded at his words. Even though I found myself not believing him, it didn't seem like a reality until I saw him and the rest of the warriors with his bag slung over his shoulder as he prepared to leave the pack for war.I held my chest tightly. There is no way anyone could defeat my Alpha. He was the best. I knew it, but I didn't know why I was so scared. Things were finally going fine . The last thing I wanted was for it to be jinxed.I wanted to find my mum alm
At first, I was confused. Then I turned to look at Alpha; he shook his head. 'I'm sorry, I can't do that.'She immediately stepped forward, going on her knees and holding his feet. 'Please, you have to take us in. Look, that's my youngest brother, and he's really sick.' She pointed at the child in her father's hands. 'If we don't find shelter now, I don't think he can make it. Please, I beg you, we will do anything you ask us to do. I can sense that you're the alpha of the pack, please.'Seeing alphas reluctance she added, 'My dad himself was a trained warrior before everything came crashing down. It would be very helpful to the pack's growth. Don't deny us access, and I'm begging you with everything.'she began to shed tears. She was looking like she was about my age, and I felt the pain. When I saw her dad's face, it reminded me of my mum and how desperate she was the first time we left.I turned to Alpha, tugging his shirt. ‘please, just take them in. I feel like there is enough
The next morning, when we woke up, I rolled into Alpha's arms."Hey, did you sleep very well?" I asked him. He nodded. "Yeah, I did. Especially when you are here by my side.” “So, what do you want to have for breakfast? I don't know. I want to have you. It's you." "Stop. Be for real?" I chuckled. I hid my laughter behind my hand."I don't know. I'm not really hungry. I just want us to eat.""Are you ready to leave for the pack house?""Yeah, but we can't go unless we see Shayla first. I need to say my proper goodbye before I disappear. I don't know when I'm going to see her again, so let's not just rush to leave, right?""Okay?" He nodded and kissed my forehead."Goodness, I can't imagine the amount of work that I have to go back home to, but it's fine. We'll just settle in just as quickly as we left." I pursed my lips and nodded at him."Alright, I'll go and find something for us to eat. I should go see Shayla.""I really want to know how she’s settling in. You can hang out with J
