Thank you for waiting. I know these last two chapters pave the way for more questions, but for those who are not following me on social me dia - I am confirming here that Alpha Zach and Alpha Cyrus will get their own books. So for now, we have to wait for clarification and answers on their lives/stories. I hope everyone is having a great week! Thank you for all the gems and comments! Please keep them coming 💜💙💗
ALICE.My hands sweated as Joshua stopped the car in front of the Blue Meadows Packhouse. He had been opening doors for me lately, but I didn’t want to look privileged in front of Amber, so I pushed my door open before Joshua could come for me. But I still appreciated that he went to my side, took my hand, and guided me toward the Williamson siblings.“Alpha Cyrus,” Joshua let go of my hand and extended a hand to Cyrus, which he took and firmly shook before throwing back a smile to my mate. “Welcome to the Blue Meadows Pack, Alpha Joshua.” He paused before looking at me. “And should I address you as Lady Alice or Luna Alice? No pun intended, but I honestly have no idea at the moment.”“Luna Alice,” Joshua answered.I extended my hand. I usually see my mother give her hand for another Alpha to kiss, but this seemed awkward for me because I had known Cyrus almost my whole life, so I opted for a handshake. “A pleasure to be here, Alpha Cyrus.”“Can we cut the formality?” Amber spoke so
JOSHUA. I wasn’t expecting Cyrus’ outburst, and no matter how I tried to tell myself I would not let it affect me, I couldn’t. I knew I was wrong on many levels. I didn’t like Eugene, and I knew how many Omegas he had pushed into his room over the years, but I kept turning a blind eye. Now, I was not even sure if he touched River, but I wondered if River told Cyrus something that made him so furious that I was not letting Eugene go. Obviously, I had my plans. I wanted him out, but I wanted to wait until I became an Alpha. But who would be my Beta? I had no idea. Cyrus was right. I was only planning for myself to get the title, but nothing for my pack. I was just like my father, not caring who would be the people in my ranks as long as he was Alpha. I didn’t want to admit it, but Cyrus’ outburst opened my eyes to many things. So, even if my pride hit the floor, I followed him to his office after he walked out on me and requested to have another word with him. We talked calml
JOSHUA. I left the Blue Meadows territory with a heavy heart, but Alice was fucking perfect and turned my mood around. Her mouth could do wonders and make everything a hundred times better. I had yet to thank the Goddess for mating me with her. She really knew her job so well. Alice knew her way around my body, and with her alone, she could satiate my sexual appetite. It was too early to tell, but I knew there was no way I would ever want any other female. It seemed impossible, as I had never been content with all the females around me, let alone one. But Alice — like I said, she was just fucking perfect. Aside from that, I was seeing a different side of her — something I didn’t know she had in her. I know I would never be a good brother to River or to anyone, but she was indeed the sibling River needed. Alice asked me to call the packhouse and ask for River. When my half-sister came on the line, she spoke with her, and they were talking like they had known each other their wh
JOSHUA. Two days had gone by swiftly, and all the packs I needed to visit were visited. Most of them were great encounters, while some were charged to experience. Overall, I could say that I was able to accomplish what I wanted with this task. This was the first time my father had let me meet Alphas on my own to renew alliances for the next year. I told him I wanted to add more packs to the list, and he told me to do whatever I wanted. I was sure he would be surprised if he found out what packs I visited. Eugene was supposed to come with me on this trip, and I was grateful Alice showed up, so I changed my plan. I was sure that aside from having Alice around being more pleasurable, having Eugene along would be more catastrophic than helpful. Aside from Cyrus, Alpha Dominic and the Alpha of the Green Valley Pack, Alpha Caleb, laid out the same condition. If I took Eugene as my Beta, there would be no possibility of any alliance with them. I knew they were conspiring against me
JOSHUA. ‘Dad?’ I mindlinked with my father. ‘Where are you? I heard you entered the border almost thirty minutes ago.’ ‘Heading to the old packhouse. Alice and I will stay there for tonight.’ ‘And why?’ ‘Mom doesn’t want her around.’ I answered truthfully. ‘She will come to terms with it.’ ‘Just let her for now. I don’t want her to feel Alice is a threat to her being the Luna of her own house.’ ‘She is the Luna here for a fucking twenty years. What more does she want?’ He sounded annoyed, and I was sure they had quarreled again. ‘Maybe if you made her feel like real Luna for the last twenty years, then she wouldn’t have this animosity toward Alice.’ ‘What was that supposed to mean?’ ‘You know what it means, Dad. Probably time to make your Luna feel like your Luna and not just a female you have hanging around you at the packhouse.’ There, I finally said it. I hated Mom when she acted wickedly and tried to run my life for me, but I also saw what Dad was doing to her throu
ALICE. I stood beside Joshua and listened as Kenneth gave final instructions to the three pups shifting tonight. I was supposed to be just an observer, but I felt like I was the one being observed. The three pups, as well as the warriors helping them out, were looking at me from time to time. Their gazes made me feel as though I was under observation. I used to love attention, but at this point, I was more concerned that they would see something unfavorable and immediately report it to Luna Matilda. As much as I didn’t mind the Luna’s hatred for me, for some reason, I wanted to make a good impression on the people that one day Joshua would be leading. “Are you okay?” Joshua asked as he approached where I stood. He was with Kenneth, and they talked with the last pup that had yet to shift. As soon as he reached me, his arm coiled around my body, and he pulled me for a hug. “I am,” I answered. “Stop lying. I could feel your emotions.” I scrunched up my nose and didn’t say anyt
JOSHUA. “Fuck!” I groaned loudly as Alice’s mouth played with my balls while her hand jerked my cock religiously. After a while, her head tilted up, and a wicked smile flashed on her face while I panted from the pleasure she was giving me. I let out a low growl and pulled her up roughly from the bed. Her legs automatically wrapped around my waist while I positioned my hard dick into her leaking entrance. She arched her body while my hands gripped her waist tightly as I pummeled my cock into her. I had no idea how many rounds we had already had or how many orgasms she had released. My body was about to give up, but my libido was still high. And so did Alice. Her movement, her expression, and her moans were telling me she was not tired at all. I’d always heard about heat, especially the first time after the female was marked, but I had no idea this was this intense. Or maybe this was just Alice. She was unstoppable, and everything she was doing kept setting my cock on fire. “Jo
JOSHUA. The dinner went without any problem, only because my mother did not join us. She advised that she had a bad headache and wanted to retire to bed early. I knew it was all a lie. My mother had never been sick and hadn’t missed any family dinners where she could establish that she was the Luna of the pack. So tonight was the first time, and it only went to show that my mate was still not welcome in this packhouse. But I could care less at this point. Dad was more welcoming and was conversing with both Alice and Roan. Either he was warming up to the idea that Alice would be his future daughter-in-law, or he was excited about a possible alliance with their pack. Roan casually asked him when he thought he would pass the title to me. If my father was taken aback by his question, he didn’t show it and answered him in a calm manner. A year from now — that’s what he said — a month after my twentieth birthday. I then asked Dad if it was a concrete plan or if it could still change
BOOK 3 OF THE ALPHA BLOOD CIRCLE IS NOW SERIALIZING ON THIS APP! (This is a free note, you should not be paying any coins for this) --------------------Title: LET THE GAMMA FALL FOR ME Full Blurb: My name is Alexandria Ricafort.Or call me Lexi for short. My mother was an ordinary she-wolf mated to a human, making me a half-breed. After my father's untimely death when I was fourteen, my mother and I left the human territory and sought shelter in a new pack. But with both of them gone, I struggled to fit into a world full of shifters without a wolf. I already knew from the very beginning that I was more human than a werewolf. So the moment I turned eighteen, I packed my bags, thanked the couple that took me in, and moved out of the Black Shadow Pack to start my own adventure somewhere else. And just when I found my peace and purpose in human territory, the world of shifters came knocking on my door, ready to create havoc in the guise of my hot "so-called stepbrother," Austin.
THREE YEARS FROM THE CLAIMING (continuation of The Betas’ Day Out, Chapter 129 of this book). ALICE. “You are fashionably late!” Catherine said, giggling. She kissed my cheek before she took my almost two-year-old daughter, Ayesha, from my arms and cuddled her, whispering sweet nothings to her as I hugged the rest of the Beta females and Lawrence’s Luna. While my mate went directly to the males huddled on the other side of the room. We were invited to the Dark Crows Pack for Garrett’s third birthday, but we passed by Roan’s territory so we could convoy with them going in here. But he had an urgent thing that needed attention, so Joshua helped him first before driving here. But we notified them ahead of time, so Catherine was just teasing us when we arrived. After Joshua and I got mated, Catherine and Tyler introduced us to the other Betas that were on the same ground as us on the Claiming, which changed all our fates. We met Beta Brandon and Vicky of the Red River Pack, Beta
A YEAR AFTER THE LAST CHAPTER. JOSHUA. I stood beside Gamma Julius as we discussed the final security instructions for Alice’s baby shower tomorrow. We didn’t have many guests, mostly Alphas and their Lunas, so we had to be strict. I didn’t want this event to be the reason for us to be shunned if anything happened to any of the Lunas while they were in our territory. Alice was already in her seventh month of pregnancy, and Nikka insisted on throwing a baby shower for her. It would just be a formal lunch and a small get-together after that. The people she wanted to be here were all invited. Who would have thought that Amara and Jace would be entering our territory tomorrow? It took a while before Amara and Alice became comfortable with each other, but it finally happened. And I could only look back at all the stupid things I did and said to Amara, but I was glad that she and Jace both gave me and Alice a chance to be better and to make up for the way we acted toward them.
JOSHUA. “We did it. We did it, Luna Alice….” I mumbled back at my mate while pecking her forehead. The day we had been waiting for finally came. Dad decided to give me the pack even before my 20th birthday. I guessed my refusal to back down about Eugene, and my ignoring Mom’s tactics opened his eyes to the fact that I was ready to leave this pack anytime. And with no one to pass the title on, it terrified him, especially when he realized the people were more comfortable doing business with me than him. Or simply because he was already tired. The arrogance in his eyes had been long gone. And I seldom hear him raise his voice. Eugene leaving the territory started the spreading of news that he was the Luna’s son but not the Alpha’s. Even in modern society, this is still frowned upon. The Alphas could have many pups, but the Lunas were supposed to be perfect. And if I were not who I was at this point, I would probably be on the side of the people mocking my own father for this. Th
FIVE MONTHS LATER. JOSHUA. The days turned into weeks. And then into months. But we never got the answer we were looking for. River was still nowhere to be found. The CCTV footage of her in the train station showed she went inside a train heading for Atlanta. On the same day, some of my men went to that city. My father didn’t want to spend any dime looking for River, and since I had no jurisdiction to give orders to our trackers, I was not able to seek assistance from them. Cyrus, however, extended his help again and sent his own trackers to do the job. And so did Roan and Kairo since their packs were nearest to Atlanta. But even with them and their friends helping us and using their own resources, we couldn’t find her. Like she just vanished into thin air. Alice had gone to her room the day after she left and checked if she left any clues, but there was nothing telling us where she had gone. She saw Cyrus’ calling cards in the trash bins, and she told him about it. And I
LADY RIVER. I didn’t know I had fallen asleep on the train ride to Bernice City. I was grateful the female from whom I bought the ticket woke me up and told me we were approaching the station where I needed to get off. After making sure everything I had in my bag was still intact, I took my aunt’s address out and asked her if it was a long way from the station. She told me I needed to take a bus to get there. I was left with no choice but to tell her I couldn’t read and that I might end up somewhere far from this place. Her eyes softened as she grabbed a pen from her pocket and ripped a piece of paper from her notepad. She began to draw something out of it before she handed it to me. “When you get out of here, you will see a red building. Cross that street to get there. And in the direction where a colorful rainbow arch is, head in that direction. Follow that sidewalk. Just continue forward. You will pass three corners. On the fourth corner, turn left. Here.” She pointed at the
ALICE. I couldn’t believe it was possible for a pack to hate a future Beta as much as this pack hated Eugene. Joshua put him in the middle of the quadrangle and ordered two whips on his back before he asked his warrior to tie him up on the post. He told him he would remain there all night until he denounced the pack. I knew Joshua could force his father to banish him, but I also knew Joshua wanted to put him there for the whole pack to see. Before we departed, Joshua commanded his men to guard him and inform him once he denounced the pack. But he allowed everyone to throw a punch or two if they wanted. In the beginning, no one was coming near Eugene. Until we were informed by one of the warriors that there were two females, clad in a big hoodie and long black skirt, who came and threw a punch at him. Those females didn’t want to be identified but surely wanted to do that. Joshua told them to just let them and to never block anyone from approaching him. So, aside from these t
ALICE. My coiled fist connected with his jaw. I had punched several men in my lifetime, but I was sure I had never hit anyone as hard as I hit Eugene. After Kenneth told us in what state he found Eugene and River, I knew that there would never come a time when I would forgive him. Ever. Of all the females to assault, he chose River — someone who was too good for anybody. Rage was ruling my whole body, and I acted without thinking. As soon as my fist hit him, a loud growl erupted from his throat, and even though he staggered back, he was able to gather his footing right away. And before I knew it, he was launching at me. “You, mother fucker!” He roared, his arm stretching back with his hand balled into a tight fist. He was planning to hit me back. My eyes widened, and even if I wanted to scream, no sound left my lips. But I saw a figure pass me, and the next thing I saw was Joshua lunging at Eugene. His hand snaked around his neck before he slammed his body to the ground. A lo
RIVER. “Again, who told you that you get to decide?” He growled lowly before I heard him unstrap his belt, and fear coursed through my whole body. He was starting to unzip his pants when I finally had the courage to move myself. My hands pushed his stomach away as my feet kicked his knees. He staggered backward, and I took the opportunity to run, but he was fast. He caught my hair and slammed my body against the hood of his car. In no time, he was hovering over me. His eyes were dilating, and if looks could kill, I would be dead already. “Please let me go!” I shrieked. My hands were on his chest, trying to stop him from leaning closer. “After you fucking flirt with me, you will leave me hanging? Can’t you feel how hard my cock is already? You need to finish what you fucking started, whore!” I tried to push him, but I couldn’t move as my feet were caged in between his thighs, and I could feel his erection against mine, but before he could dip his face into mine, I saw a hand gra
