"Should we go to your room?" I finally managed to say, pulling away from hugging him."I do need to dry off," he suggested.He held my hand, leading me up the stairs into his bedroom."What about Shadow's mum?" I wondered."She will be fine."I didn't want to talk about anything negative and stir a terrible mood again.I couldn't picture how she must have been feeling. My mum would lose her minds to bit of that was me instead."Hey, it's okay, don't worry too much, it's nothing that would happen to you as long as I'm here, I can promise you that.""I'll believe it since you've said so." I sighed.We got into his room and I felt calm and reassured just being here again.The familiar scent made me forget what had happened today."I'll be back Talie, I just need to take a warm shower," he held my gaze, scanning my face for any fearful emotions."I don't want you to leave my side," I knew how demanding I sounded. Even amid the troubles, he tilted his lips into a smile, "do you really want
I got to my feet, holding the blanket up to my body. Alpha reached to hold my wrist but I dodged his grip, "don't touch me, ugh."He stood up after me, and followed me as I headed for the door. He held the door knob before I could reach for it. "Talie, wait," he leaned into me, his chest pressing against my bare back where the blanket didn't hide."Fuck, I feel so stupid and embarrassed," I groaned, "what the fuck was I thinking?" I closed my eyes and turned around to face him where he was keeping me trapped between the door and his body, "please let me go." "Talie trust me it's not what you think it is.""Please let me go." I was getting impatient.He studied my expression for a minute, "I won't let you go thinking I don't want to have sex with you, it's just... I can't, I'm hard as fuck right now but I-""Yeah I get it, you will jerk off on your own, no need to keep reminding me okay?" I gently shoved him away from me and turned around, unlocked his door, and headed out.Once I w
Alpha KadenI stared at my door after she slammed it wondering if I was supposed to go after her. I could feel my cock hardening with every second, I was desperately craving for her touch, more than I could control it.I decided to take a shower to ease my nerves. As the water ran through my neck and skin, my fingers sliding the droplets through my hair strands, I wished she was here with me, her full boobs pressing against my chest as she leaned onto me.Thinking about Talie wasn't easing the tension in my cock. I was going to have blue balls, again. But I couldn't jerk knowing I'd left her unsatisfied.I slipped on a grey turtleneck and white sweatpants, heading out of the room and into the kitchen to fix a meal to cheer her up.I was tempted to knock on her door when it was time to walk by but I instead put my hands into my pant pockets and headed out of there.I sat on the counter and didn't realise I was pouting until I saw my reflection through the kitchen window, "what on earth
Talie.Alpha only set me down when we had returned to the packhouse. Staying on his back had to be the most calming experience for me since moving here. It completely dissolved my anger from before."Thanks for coming through for me," I swallowed awkwardly, "I'll head into my bedroom now."I didn't want him to say anything as I sprinted into my room. It was already really late to begin with anyway. I laid on my back and got carried away by sleep.*I woke up and I was back at Stem."This isn't right," I furrowed my eyebrows, looking around at the people chattering happily. Shayla waved her hand at me from where she was at the bar and I shook my head, "not again, this is definitely another dream, and I'm not falling for this shit again, get me out of here."I hurried out of the door only to see that the world outside the club was nothing but emptiness and void, it was completely black. I held on to the door so I wouldn't fall off, "woah, what the heck?""Where are you going?" I heard t
I don't know why but I immediately froze to the ground. I couldn't take her hand, I just stared blankly at her. Alpha Kaden didn't take his eyes off of her. When she saw that I wasn't going to be accepting her handshake, she took her hand down and cleared her throat, "anyway, I saw some of your men and they're really busy so it might take a while for my things to get here, and I do need a shower so badly so I'll take one of your clothes, that's fine, isn't it?""Your things?" Alpha didn't sound very pleased."I figured you'd need emotional support," she nodded, "so here I am." Her eyes turned to me and a frown etched her facial features, "and why are you still here?"I caught myself, I don't know why hearing that he had mate was taking a toll on me. "I was... I was j- just leaving." I lowered my head and attempted to walk past her to head out of the packhouse, only for alpha Kaden to hold my arm sharply.I looked at his hand that gripped me tightly, then at his face and then at Alice
Shayla povBy now I had lost count of how many days had passed by. Usually, werewolves had a great sense of direction but I had been so engulfed trying to find Talie that I didn't realise I'd lost my way, now, not only had I lost track of her scent, I was stuck without knowing how to head back.I'd gone without food or water for days and at this point, I would eat any living thing that walked by. I'd slept in the rain under trees that barely provided shade and my skin must have a terrible stench right now.My stomach growled and I grumbled, "yeah I know, I don't know what the fuck to eat."I couldn't find the strength to shift to my wolf. I stumbled on a rock and lost my balance, "great, is this really how I'm going to die? Of starvation? Ash must be so worried, fuck it, I should have just listened to him." I cried and tears streamed down my cheeks. I was lost, really lost.I pulled myself up to my feet and stared at a random tree standing in my way. "It's really done to this yeah?"
"I got it," I nodded at him, I didn't want to stand her and keep listening to him, "it's okay, we both had our fun, we got careless and we caught ourselves, I didn't have any special attraction to you anyways, it was nothing but lust." I sucked my lower lip in and nodded, "so yeah I wish you and your mate a happy life with whatever decisions you two might choose to make." I concluded and decided to leave. I refused to display any form of emotions to him.I was going to leave when he held my wrist, "whatever we did together held a meaning to me."I didn't say anything in response, I wasn't going to fall for his mind games anymore.I wriggled free from his grip and left the balcony , I'd had enough for one day at this point."And if it makes you feel anything, we've not actually mated before," he said in a hushed voice as I walked off. His last words brought some sort of smile on my face but I did my best to hold back from showing it.Getting to my bedroom, I saw Alice going into the ro
NextI gagged, turning on my heels and sprinting out the door.Riggs caught up with me, holding my box, "we were here to get your box in the first place so I took it."I couldn't stop widening my eyes, "I'm fucking scarred for life!""I didn't know they'd be here, I'd have ugh, I'm sorry, we were dismissed from patrol and some other warriors took over, they said they'd leave later, I didn't know." He sounded so apologetic."It's not your fault," I shivered, "they hated each other so much, oh my goodness, I'm going to throw up." "I thought they did too," he agreed with me."Ugh, horrible way to start my birthday.""Let's just head back to the pack house." He sighed, "it's fine.""Ugh, please."We got back to the packhouse and found Alpha struggling to tie a balloon. It flew out of his hand in deflation when he saw us."What are you doing?" I raised one eyebrow."Um," he scratched the back of his neck, "it's your birthday so I thought we could-""Aw, you're so cute alpha, you're not th
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
