Lea

I stood in the lounge with my head bowed and a tray with glasses of juice in my hands. This was how Adrian had always wanted me to receive his guests. 

To him it made me look submissive and humble. The ideal Luna. 

My wolf suddenly stirred inside me and perked her ears. She had been quiet since the wolfsbane was affecting her but she suddenly became restless and began to pace around in my head, making me dizzy. 

What was wrong with her? I wish I could talk to her but sadly, we couldn’t communicate with our wolf counterparts but they could project their feelings onto us or show us visuals of what they would like to say. 

My wolf wasn’t doing that. At least if she sent a pic to my mind or something, I would know what was up with her. 

The door opened and the men entered with Adrian chattering, trying to kiss Alpha Manuel’s ass. What a dickhead. 

I was suddenly hit by an intoxicating scent that almost knocked me senseless. It was so strong and mouth-watering, making me salivate. Sandalwood and grapefruit, with a hint of peppermint. So appealing, so alluring and tantalizing. I couldn’t help but take a few whiffs and roll my eyes to the back of my head discreetly, it smelt so good. And with it, I felt my core throb with an aching need I had never felt before. 

What was happening?

I was suddenly pulled out of my thoughts when it hit me. This scent... I opened my eyes wider and lifted my head, only to meet with cerulean blue eyes staring back at me. 

My heart skipped a beat. Damn. 

The tall man in front of me had medium brown hair that was styled into a half-bun, with the other half let down. He had a light beard with a trimmed mustache. His squarish face was well-defined and he had a dangle cross platinum earring on his left ear that glinted when he moved his head. 

At the sight of him, I felt a strong pull in my heart beckoning me to throw myself into the Alpha male’s arms. 

This strange feeling. 

He was…

Fuck. 

The tray in my hands slipped from my fingers and fell to the ground, shattering the glasses to pieces. 

No… this is not happening. Did I just meet my mate? Worse off, as a Luna of another Alpha? 

I stood frozen, my heart galloping vigorously against my ribcage. 

“Lea, what the fuck are you doing? Can you clean that up, now!” Adrian’s sharp voice snapped me out of my reverie. 

I could still feel those blue eyes on me and I suddenly felt self-conscious. My dress was loose on my body and not attractive at all. Adrian made me wear clothes that didn’t show my curves. He said it was to protect me from vultures. 

Tears stung my eyes as my whole world came crumbling down. Manuel, was my mate?

Sweat coated my forehead and I swallowed empty air. I was so embarrassed I wished a hole could suddenly open in the ground so I could crawl into it and hide.

“Lea!” Adrian growled, making me jump in surprise and in a moment of panic, I stepped on the shards of glass and they pierced my bare foot. 

It hurt so I took a step back, flinching when pain jolted up my leg. 

“Pathetic! Get lost, now! I’m sorry Alpha Manuel. My Luna is having a bad day.” 

I stared at my feet, feeling stupid.  How I wish this was all a dream. I had made a fool out of myself in front of my fated mate. 

Before I could wallow further in self-pity. I felt someone scoop me up bridal style. Sparks and tingles I had never felt before shot down my spine, almost making me moan in pleasure. 

I knew who it was before I could even see his face. 

At the sudden electrifying touch, my heart began to race and I felt my core clench repeatedly. How could a person’s touch feel like I was in heaven?

I dared not look up at Manuel who was carrying me. I was both excited and scared. Excited by his touch that made my core throb and scared about what Adrian might do to me. 

He walked to a couch and placed me down gently.

 “Are you okay?” He asked and when I looked up, I was met with his sexy eyes that were filled with concern. 

My heart skipped two beats.

Goddess, even his voice sounded like the music from angel Gabriel’s harp in the heavenly realm. Not that I’ve heard it before. Manuel’s voice was so deep and sexy. I retracted my gaze from his. It was doing something to me. Making me feel things…

“I’m fine,” I said in an almost inaudible voice but I was sure he heard including everyone in the lounge. 

“Um… Let me take care of it.” Adrian’s gingerly voice met our ears. 

“Why don’t you find someone to clean this up instead of treating your Luna like trash? Is this how you treat women in your pack?” Manuel cut off Adrian in a sharp cold tone. 

Adrian smiled sheepishly but I didn’t miss the secret nasty look he threw at me. I immediately sensed that his gaze was directed to Manuel’s hand that was still on my shoulder, seeping warmth into my body. Even though I didn’t want to, I shrugged his hand off. 

“I’m ok. Thanks.” I tried to get up but he pressed me down. 

“Sit.” 

I had no choice but to agree when he used a powerful tone on me. It wouldn’t look good if I pissed him off. 

Manuel went on one knee and held my leg up. I jolted back, trying to pull it back, blushing profusely as I tried to recall what type of underwear I wore today and if it was nice and sexy. 

I would be mortified if I wore one of those comfortable panties I use for when I’m on my period. 

“Stay still.” He scolded huskily and brought my leg a little lower so that the inside of my dress was not open for all to see.  

I felt my face heat up and I sheepishly looked at his people dressed in black suits and dark sunglasses standing guard. 

They were all looking at what he was doing with serious faces.

I gave Manuel a once over. He was wearing a white button-down shirt and had casually rolled the sleeves up his arms with black pants. Three buttons were left open and I could see his toned chest. I felt touched, watching him remove the pieces of glass from my foot with care. His eyes would squint occasionally and I was mesmerized by how hot he looked. 

Tingles erupted between our skin from where he held my foot in his hand. 

“If these are left like this they could get buried in your skin.” He said and stood up. “Emilio, throw these pieces out.” 

A young man with blond shoulder-length hair and brown eyes who was dressed in a powder blue shirt and tanned pants walked forward and got the pieces of glass from Manuel's hands. “Yes, Alpha.”

“I’m sure you’re okay now, Lea.” Manuel said, wiping the blood from his hands and shoving his hands into his pockets while staring deeply at me. 

My name rolling off his tongue sounded so natural. Like he was meant to say my name forever. I felt warm by his care. 

“Lea, you can go and bring out the women for Alpha Manuel to check if one of them is his mate.” Adrian’s haunting voice reached my ears and my stomach turned. 

Right. How could I forget Manuel was here to find his mate? But his mate was me, does it mean he would get a chosen?

My heart dropped at the thought. I suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling in my chest.

    Lea “What are you doing? Alpha Manuel is waiting.” I snapped out of my reverie when Adrian raised his voice again. Right, I guess it’s all good that he finds another mate. After all, I was marked and tainted by another man. My eyes stung and I blinked back the tears that threatened to fall. “I’ll be right back.” I said, bowing in reverance. I went to the guest room where I had placed the unmated she-wolves from the pack house. They were all excited, dolling themselves up. It seemed everyone wanted to be mated to the great Alpha Manuel. I mean, who wouldn’t? I had wet my panties just from locking eyes with him. His name alone was enough to make women fall at his feet. He was handsome. His body rivaled a greek-god’s and he exuded dominance and power. He was my mate. Mine. Yet I was the one taking females for him to choose from. “Are you ready ladies? The Alpha is here.” I hid my displeasure and asked. The ladies squealed in excitement. “Is he as handsome as he’s rum

  • Snatched By The Alpha   05~ Running out of time

    Manuel I was running out of time. I needed to find my mate or it will be too late for me and my wolf. Sienna the pack witch said I needed to find my mate or I would lose my wolf completely. Well, fuck that. How did she expect me to go back to a woman who didn’t wait for her mate and ask her to accept me? She chose another man for fucksakes. Of course, I told her to find another solution but we all know how these witches are. Once they got fixated on something, they can never change it. “Alpha, I know what you’re thinking. But if you want to save your wolf, your fated mate is the only way.” Sienna said as she stood in front of my desk. I coiled my hands into fists. If Sienna wasn’t a powerful witch, I would have strangled her to death right now. The word mate made my heart tighten and clench painfully. It was embarrassing for a man like me to lose my shit because of someone the moon goddess decided to pair me with. I mean, she didn’t even want me. Why should I be the on

    Lea. My heart was pounding erratically as Manuel skimmed through the females and I had a hard time trying to act normally. Will it hurt me when he chooses his Luna? Yes. It would. In fact, I already felt like someone had their hand wrapped around my heart, squeezing it. Goddess, please give me strength. This jealousy… it will kill me. “Yes… tell us. Whom do you choose? Who has captured the eye of the most powerful Alpha?” Adrian asked Manuel with a greed-laced voice. He was power-hungry and this was an opportunity for his pack to thrive by strengthening his connections with the Salvatore Mafia. I felt my stomach churn when he offered for Manuel to pick more girls. He didn’t treat them like they were living beings. Dishing them out like they were free food. How could I have not seen him for who he was years ago? The sight of him now made me sick. Manuel took his time to respond. I didn’t know why he kept staring at me but his scorching gaze was making me nervous. As if

    Lea I looked around the backyard to make sure no one saw me getting nasty with Manuel. This would blow out of proportion and I don’t think my body could endure another beating. The wolfsbane in my system was yet to be completely flushed out for me to regain my healing ability. My heart was yet to calm down from the earth-shattering orgasm I had just experienced. I won't lie. I wanted more. Dare I say, I had secretly hoped Manuel would lift my dress and fuck me right here against this tree. That swollen hard thing that I felt in his pants. I wanted it. He had made the mistake of making me taste something I could never have. Now I craved it like I was an addict and Manuel was my personal drug. After making sure there were no prying eyes, I rushed upstairs and went to the master bedroom. I needed to clean myself up. I smelled of sex pheromones and I didn’t want to get caught. In the shower, I couldn’t help but want to touch myself. Manuel had made me feel things I had never

    Lea Manuel unwrapped my arms from his waist and turned to face me. His gaze softened. He raised his hand and stroked my hair, tucking a stray hair behind my ear. I looked down sheepishly. His intense gaze was pooling me in. His eyes were so mesmerizing and I couldn’t help but get lost in them. He grabbed my wrist and led me to the bed and I followed obediently. At this point, I wouldn’t mind whatever he would to me. I would willingly offer myself like a sacrificial lamb to him. It was the goddess’ wish. Who was I to fight destiny? He guided me to sit on the edge of the bed then lifted my dress and went down on his knees. My heart rate spiked as I wondered what he was about to do. “Alpha saliva has some healing properties. I can help heal you.” With that said, he lowered his head and licked the large gash on the side of my waist. “Oh…” a shameful sound escaped my lips making me blush. I didn’t understand what was going on. Why was I feeling a heartbeat in between my legs w

    Lea. I closed the door to one of the guest rooms and patted my flushed cheeks in an attempt to calm down. When Manuel asked me why I became Adrian's Luna, I didn't know what to say. I mean, what was I supposed to say? He forced me? That would just look like I was making up excuses. Adrian did force his mark on me but staying was my choice. I had resigned to my fate to protect those I love. Many times I thought about leaving the pack and staying in the human territory but being a lone wolf for too long turns you feral. My parents didn't want to become rogues either so I kept what I was going through to myself. I sighed, running my hand along the wound on my waist that had just closed up. It had healed pretty fast. Was it because Manuel was my mate so his saliva had a quicker effect on me? Strange how the bond between us was still strong. Was it a sign that there could still be hope for us? Stop it, Lea. How can you think so selfishly? You've been claimed by another, Manuel

  • Snatched By The Alpha   10~ Don't mess with me

    Manuel I was very angry when Lea left the room. She was already affecting my emotions within a few hours of being here. What pissed me off more was her saying she's mated. Like a loyal wife trying to be faithful to her husband. The jealousy I felt was so intense. I wanted to carry her on my shoulder like a sack of potatoes and take her away from this place. Another wave of anger washed over me when flashes of her injuries flowed through my mind. Those cuts on her beautiful body… why the hell was she enduring such treatment in this pack? Even now, she can feel that I’m her mate but she hasn’t asked me for help or told me to take her away from here. Could she still be in love with Adrian that fucker? My heart couldn’t take it. All these years I had to live with the painful fact of my mate choosing someone else. The days I spent in pain should have been enough to make me feel nothing toward her but why did my heart ache to see her look so pathetic and pitiful? Where was the b

    LeaMy heart was beating uncontrollably fast. Manuel’s gaze on me made me shiver. I couldn’t believe he chose me. What the hell was he thinking? I… I’m mated. I have another man’s mark on my neck. What was he up to? Was this his ploy to humiliate me? Or was he trying to take revenge on me after finding out his mate that he had been looking for was another Alpha’s Luna?Whilst I was still in shock, I saw him wink at me and that move did something to me. It looked so sexy that my core clenched in anticipation. Why did everything he did make him look appealing?I wanted this man. It was evident from the way my heart and body reacted to him. But I was scared. All of this felt too surreal. What was he playing at?“Alpha, you can choose any other woman in this pack. Except for Lea. She’s my mate and the mother of my future children.” Adrian’s voice reached my ears. His voice had turned serious but there was a subtle hint showing how nervous he was. Manuel’s request must have taken him by

  • Snatched By The Alpha   65~ Epilogue

    Renata. Years passed by in a blink of an eye. Like a joke, four years had already passed and I was twenty-three with two toddlers. Despite the promise I made to myself, I became broody when I saw Sienna’s second baby girl, Chloe. She was so cute with squishy cheeks that I had to make Emilio undo his vasectomy and we tried for another pup. We had a boy and named him Carlos Jose Eduardo Calcano. The Jose Eduardo name came from his grandfather, Emilio's father. He is two years old while his sister just turned four. I loved my little ones but they were a handful sometimes. The Alphas were content with their twin boys so we all had two children each. Parenting was fun. Doing our own things was fun too. The ladies and I had formed our own Mafia squad. Alpha Lea had graduated and become a programmer. She was involved in tech stuff that we needed in our missions. Sienna brought in the magic while I brought in muscle. I was the only one who was trained to fight among us. I didn’t want

    Emilio. If I was showed the future and told how sweet being fully mated was, I wouldn’t have wasted my time trying to fight the bond. The past few months have been the best and I can’t even explain the kind of happiness I’ve been feeling. I thank the moon goddess everyday for blessing me with a mate that understands me and loves me for who I am. Renata was not only my mate but also the mother of my unborn pup. When we discovered that she was pregnant, I felt like I could fly to the moon. I will never forget the feeling of knowing our love had brought about life. A life that was growing in my mate’s womb. A life that had a piece of us both. These two will be the most important people in my life and I will always put them first, no matter what. So sticking to my promise, I had built us a simple mini-mansion just near Alpha Manuel’s mansion. We needed the privacy, especially with Renata's pregnancy hormones. She was horny all the damn time. Luckily with the new place, I coul

    Renata. A month later, I was now part of the Mafia elite squad. Of course I had to start from the bottom. Just because I’m the Beta female doesn’t mean I have to go straight into having a high rank like my mate. Although I enjoyed the benefits of him being the second in command since he did more dangerous missions and I made sure to follow him for all of them. We had combined the Salvatore and Bortsova Mafia until we have an heir to take over the Bortsova Mafia. Recently, there’s been a gang that has made it a career to steal from us and try to sabotage our business by planting drugs in our warehouses. Emilio was sent to investigate this matter by the Mafia boss AKA Alpha Manuel and I joined him as a loving mate should. I also joined to experience the thrilling part of it. I loved dangerous things and doing them with my mate made our sex life more exciting. We could be at a hideout and end up fucking our brains out while the enemy lurks outside. Emilio and I were lying flat

  • Snatched By The Alpha   62~ My Beta, my love

    Renata. I had been secretly planning for the mating ceremony with Sienna and Lea. Emilio hadn’t mentioned it and I knew he was waiting for me to make a decision on what I wanted to do with my pack. He probably thought I would ask him to leave his pack but I had no plans of being an Alpha or Luna. I still had my training sessions with him. Although they were peaceful now that Salma had undergone trial and was sentenced to fifteen years in prison according to the pack rules. It was shocking to discover that she had drugged Emilio with a very powerful hallucinogen in an attempt to seduce him. When Emilio told me about it, I was filled with fierce jealousy. I only relaxed when he told me he managed to fight the effects of the drug. I was really happy because, in the state he was in, he would have easily succumbed to the temptation since he was heartbroken. The mere thought of how I almost lost him to that bitch had me growling in possessiveness. I’ll never let anyone try to put

    Emilio. “Are you sure about this?” I asked Renata for the umpteenth time as I drove to the Alpha’s office at the pack’s headquarters. He rarely used that office and only used it if outsiders came into the pack. Apparently, Michael had come to turn himself in and he wanted to see Renata. I glanced at her from where I sat in the driver's seat and saw her bite her bottom lip. “I’m sure. I want to see him.” She responded, her eyebrows furrowing. "I want to ask why he did what he did. He could have just run away instead of participating in Ramsey’s scheme.” I sighed, manoeuvring the car into the parking lot. The headquarters was a simple two-storey building holding offices for ranked wolves and conference rooms for meetings. Most of us didn't use these offices unless it was necessary. I jumped out of the jeep and rushed to the other side of the car, opening the door for my Queen. She had learned to let me open the door for her and I did it happily. Sticking out my hand to her,

    Renata. Time had passed by quickly in a pleasurable bliss. It's been a few weeks since the incident with Ramsey and so many things have happened. I got my wolf! A few hours after that very hot sex that we had, I suddenly felt hot and my body ached everywhere. It was so painful I felt like crying. Luckily Emilio acted fast and rushed me into the woods. It didn't even take long before my bones began to break and elongate and fuck... A first shift is no joke. I've always known myself as someone who endures pain but that night... I cried like a baby. The entire process was excruciatingly painful and terrifying. Fortunately, Emilio stayed by my side. His presence lessened the pain somehow. I will never forget the look on his face when I finally shifted into a flamy red wolf. It was big like an Alpha's wolf but not very big. The man was practically drooling at my wolf and I felt giddy when he called me beautiful. That was not all... The moment I changed back, I immediately shif

  • Snatched By The Alpha   59~ Happiness and pleasure

    Emilio. I couldn't believe what was happening. I agonised for hours about losing Renata... but it turned out I had forgotten what the Alpha had told me about the curse. I forgot she was meant to die for the curse to be broken. Goddess knows how I felt like I would die when she took her last breath. Fuck, I hope I never get to experience such again. I'll protect her with my life from now on. Renata was alive and looking perfectly healthy. It’s like she was never sick in the first place. I don't know what kind of magic this was but I was thrilled to have her back. My heart leaped with joy and the grin on my face stretched my lips to the limit. “Oh, baby girl... I thought I lost you,” I said as I cupped the back of her head, hugging her tightly. “I thought I would never see you again, too,” she sobbed, her face buried in my chest. We stayed like that for a while, crying tears of joy. It felt surreal... One moment I was devastated about her death, the next moment, I was hold

    Emilio. Like always, she tasted like heaven on earth. Her juices were like a sweet heavenly nectar that was food for my soul. Fuck… she was and will always be mine. Heart, body and soul. I watched with a heavy heart as she drifted off to sleep. The dark circles around her eyes had become more prominent. No matter how much water she drank, she still looked dehydrated. She told me the poison was iron mixed with silver. Who knew iron was this deadly to her? Not even silver could kill a werewolf this quickly. My heart squeezed as I tucked her in, ensuring she was well covered. I quickly left the room and went to whip up something in the kitchen in case she woke up at night. While in the kitchen, I decided to mindlink Luca since Sienna couldn’t mindlink anyone but her mate. ‘Hey bro… I need your help.’ I said as I removed the chicken from the fridge and placed it in the microwave to defrost it. ‘Hey man… how did it go?’ Luca replied almost instantly, and I was thankful he did

    Renata. I moaned softly when Emilio took my nipple into his mouth. He growled against my skin... An action that sent rivers of pleasure coursing through me. His free hand grabbed my other breast and he began to massage it. Slowly... Gently, taking his time to give my breasts the attention they deserved. I sighed when he twisted my nipple and trapped it between his index and middle finger, tweaking it all while he sucked, nibbled and licked the other one. Electric jolts shot through me, heading straight to my nether regions. My core clenched and I felt myself getting wetter...needier, and hornier. I want him. Now. “Emilio...” I moaned his name. He left my breasts and trailed hot kisses along my stomach... Making his way down to my crotch. I shuddered when electric currents shot through me, heading straight to my core. He got between my legs and continued to plant kisses on my skin, leaving delicious tingles in his wake. Lifting my leg up, he trailed kisses along my thigh, hi
