I watched from a long distance as everyone began to gather in the courtyard as Alpha's others and a lot of people were definitely confused. Mumbles could be heard miles away from the pack house. Alpha had Clarion in his hand, without caring about what they would say, he dumped his unconscious body to the floor, earning a few gasps from everyone."Hello," as soon as he began to speak, they all went dead silent. "I know you are all surprised to see your Alpha here after he renounced the pack, but I wanted to say something to you all and take this as a learning point. You see this man here, Clarion, has been one of my trusted workers. A lot of you witnessed what went wrong with the Luna, and you turned your backs against her and saw how easy it was for me to give up on the pack for her. You know how much I cherish my position as the alpha."His eyes wandered through the crowd, and somehow they found me. And they stayed on me for a second before he continued his speech again. "But I want
I took my shirt off, watching as Alpha filled the bathtub with water. I looked around the bathroom and took in the beautiful decor, a sight I never thought I would witness in my life.Alpha came towards me, held my hand, and led me into the bathroom . He cupped my face, a frown etched on his face as he noticed that my expressions were a bit stiff. "Is something wrong?" He asked, scrutinizing my face for my emotions.I held his hand, which was pressed against my cheek. "I don't know. I just feel a little weird. It feels wrong to be back here after everything that happened. What if they are judging me?" I swallowed. "Or worse, what if the thing that Clarion has been preparing for me is permanent or maybe it’s not the only thing responsible?"" I'm not sure I have any encounter with him giving me anything to drink as we barely even have that type of interaction, so I’m not sure how he skipped anything into my meals or drinks. What if I still get the hallucinations? I mean, it was really
As Alpha left, I felt like I had nothing to do with my life. The pack members were slowly returning to normal, and it was as if nothing had happened. Some students even resumed school, and people went about their daily work, except for those leading the pack. Everything seemed to be in its place. Then I remembered the source of the problem in the first place, Clarion.I slowly made my way to the dungeon, i had been trying to avoid interacting with him due to the trauma he caused me but I couldn’t stall for long. I knew I needed to understand the source of this. One of the warriors stood at the door and bowed his head at me. "Do you know where he's staying? Where is his cell?"He pointed in the direction of a cell all alone in the far end of the room. I went there and saw Clarion seated with his back to me. I put my hand to my mouth, shocked by the scars on his body. I knew alpha wouldn’t take it easy on him to begin with but I was still amused., I didn’t think it would be to this e
The moment I shuffled the bed, Alpha’s husky voice came awake, pulling me and tugging me towards him, wrapping his arms tightly around me. “Where do you think you're going so early in the morning?” He whispered against my neck. I smiled at him, pressing my back against his chest. “I just thought that I should fulfill my luna duties,” I said, turning around in his embrace so that I was facing him directly. “What do you mean luna duties?” He partially opened his eyes. “Well, in the past day that we were gone, I know that there is so much to do and I feel really bad for those that were affected by my raving madness. I just want to be able to fix them, and I feel so guilty sleeping comfortably, knowing that I stripped some people of their comfort.” He groaned, “Can't you do that later in the day?” I really want you here with me right now.” I pressed his head against my chest, smiling and stroking my fingers through his hair. He said in a whiny voice, pouting, “stay with me…” “Do
I immediately sprawled all over the bed and kicked my feet in the air as I put the phone up to my ear.I pouted a little. "I've been waiting to communicate with you all day. I completely forgot that we could get phone calls," I whined to him."How have you been?" His deep voice resonated through my ears, reminding me how much I missed him."I'm okay," I shrugged."I've been miserable," he said. "I was just looking for a way to talk to you all day. What did you do to me? Why does my life feel so empty when you're not here with me for even a second? I couldn't even concentrate on any of the work. I was starting to wish that I went with you. I don't know if I would be able to survive for so long.""Oh, come on," I chuckled, rolling my eyes at him. "Don't be such a crybaby. It's just a day in between. We'll see you tomorrow. Don't worry, okay?" I teased, even knowing that I loved how crazy over heels he was over me. "Fine. I hope you're okay. How was the journey? Was it stressful?" I lov
Alpha didn't waste any time, he put his arms around me, holding my waist, pulling me closer, and planting kisses on my face.I had to nod my head in Mandy's direction, cleared my throat, and pull away from him. “Relax,” I chuckled at him.I put my arms around him to receive him in a hug, He pressed my head against his embrace.“I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist. I had to clear all my work and show up today, even the lycan council's meeting. I canceled it all,” he said, his fingers stroking through my hair. “Aww, my big baby, are you really alpha of dark blood?” I teased him. He immediately got defensive, realizing Mandy was here, and I was calling him Alpha in her presence.He held my hand and put me behind him.I chuckled. “Don't worry, it's fine. She's a friend. She's aware.”I turned to look at Mandy. “This is my mate, and he's the alpha of our pack.”She bowed her head with a smile.“It's nice to see you here. I didn’t think you'd be sharing up until the wedding.” She told him.
Finally, we found one of the restaurants that were along the roadside. Alpha led me there, acting like he was totally in control and as if he had spent his entire life here.I just sat back and let him do everything and looked around me and watched the people that were coming in.Some of them seemed like they were returning home after work, but others felt like they were in regular clothes shopping.It was a really nice place. I'm so happy that Shayla got to experience this kind of lifestyle.Alpha waved over one of the waiters and gave him our order. "What do you want to eat, my love?" He asked me."Just whatever you're ready to eat. I've been inside all day. I'm full, I'm not gonna lie." I shrugged my shoulder at him. "You're full on what?" He raised his eyebrows. “Full on d-“I widened my eyes at him, “stop!” I eyed the waiter staring at us suspiciously. I found myself blushing hard, “you’re the one who’s not eaten all day but I'll just have whatever you are having.”"What are yo
Alpha carried me on his back in a piggyback ride as we made our way back to shaylas place.I kept playing with his hair on the way. A few people were staring at us like we were weirded out, but I didn't care. It felt so relaxing.I wrapped my arms around him tightly securing myself in his arms. He set me down by the entrance of Shayla’s apartment, and when we knocked on the door, Mandy was the first one to respond. She let us in, and I saw Shayla was in the kitchen like she was making some food."Oh yeah, just in time. I was starting to feel sleepy, so I started to do some baking to wait for you guys. I didn't want to leave you out there alone.""Thank you so much.” I chuckled. “ I hope you had fun, Alpha." She bowed her head at Alpha.He nodded. "I'll leave you girls to have your time." He sighed and went upstairs. "And I want to grab something."I turned to look at him. "I want to hang out with Jake, okay?" He said.I nodded at him. "Okay. Please be back on time. Please don't lea
