ALIA
I wasn´t expecting Caspian´s reaction after I told him I would be heading off to the Black Shadow Pack´s territory. I thought he would object and would ask me to keep still in the pack house. Instead, he pulled me up from the couch and hugged me.
"You´re an adult now, Alia. Do what you think will make you happy. Just be careful. And let me know if you needed me there." He said in a low voice, I could sense his discomfort in my decision but it made me happy that he was not preventing me from doing this.
I closed my eyes and nodded, scooting my head on his chest, inhaling his scent. "I´ll be careful, I promise."
"Some of their warriors are traveling back to their territory tomorrow, I would ask them to take you with them. But I would send one or two men to come with you from our pack. That way you won´t feel uncomfortable during the 13-hour journey."
I pulled away from his chest and shook my head. "No need, I´ll be fine. Daniella is c
Hello lovelies, I only have 1 chapter today... And I´ve uploaded it earlier since I have to be somewhere today. Thank you for reading! :) And I promise, the next chapters will have both Alia and Gavin in the same place already... :) Have a great weekend! xoxo, Cassandra M
JAKE Clair was straddled on my lap while I nibbled and sucked her neck, enjoying the little time we get from sneaking between work hours to satisfy our cravings for each other when I received a mind link from Matteo. He was assigned to lead the patrol by the border. I pulled away from Clair´s neck, eliciting a low groan from my mate but when she saw my eyes flecking white, she just scooted her body on mine and rested her head at the crook of my neck, resting her palm on my chest. 'Our warriors from Alpha Caspian´s territory have just arrived. But they have Gamma Carlos and Lady Alia with them. I already allowed entrance since they were in the same car as Markus and his mate.' My forehead creased, what were they doing here, and why Caspian didn't inform me ahead of time? Clair must have sensed the change in my mood, she pulled away from my neck and tilted her head to look at me. With a brow arched she cupped my face with one hand, confusion wri
GAVIN I was asked to pick up Lady Luisa today. And shehas been talking nonstop throughout the three-hour drive that I was starting to regret accepting this task today. Not that she was talking nonsense, in fact, she was smart for her age and talked a lot of sense. It was just that I wanted to have some thoughts just to myself, but I guess it wasn´t possible when you´re sitting next to a female. So I just let her burn my ears, answering like a robot when I needed to and smiling once in a while to make it look like I was listening. I let out a sigh of relief the moment we entered the border. Finally, I would be free of this female and I could have a little peace. But the moment we neared the packhouse, Kurt started howling in my head. He seemed excited and worried at the same time, that it bothered me. Something was off. And asthe packhouse came to view, I found my answer. Everyone standing out
ALIAI was expecting that Gavin would introduce me to the crowd as his mate but it didn't happen. Although I was trying to cheer myself up by reminding myself that we still have things to patch up and clear out first, I couldn´t help myself from being disappointed. I thought he was happy to see me but maybe I read him wrong.But regardless, I kept my promised and behaved myself that night.I saw him glancing my way but he never approached me at all. And those instances that I tried to reach him, he would suddenly disappear. I was starting to get annoyed already with his sudden change of mood. It was like we have this invisible tug of war, constantly pulling each other just to withdraw back. This has to end.The rest of the evening went on like that and I was thankful that Daniella was around. She was with me the whole time since Markus was hanging out with the rest of the warriors. I wondered if they have a habit of leaving their mates to be with th
ALIA Luna Clair lead me to a room on the 3rd floor. And the moment the door opened, his scent swirled around me that made my knees buckle. My eyes widen when it hit me that she brought me to Gavin´s room. With reddened cheeks, I turned around to face her. Her hand was already raised holding the key she used to open the door. "Here´s the master key. I'm not sure what´s his code so you need to ask him. But you can use this master key for now." She said softly, a warm smile tugging on her lips. "Are you sure it´s okay if I stay here? He might take it negatively." I asked, biting my lower lip. "I don't think so. And if he does, I´m sure you´ll figure out a way to calm him." She winked at me before turning around. "Good night, Alia. Have a rocking night! Have fun!" She teased as she walked away. I chuckled at her words as I stepped inside Gavin´s room, pulling my luggage with me. I was starting to love Luna Clair already.
GAVIN A low growl escaped my throat while my whole body convulsed as I ride out my own orgasm. I haven´t had this strong and satisfying release in the past weeks that I felt my body was totally spent tonight. With my breath still hitching, I let my body collapse in the bed, taking Alia with me. She whimpered in my arms and scooted into my chest, her own chest was still heaving but she has a wide grin on her lips that all the misery and longing I felt these past weeks have gone out the window. I snaked an arm around her and pressed her body against mine that we ended facing each other, with my one leg wrapped on her thighs. "Was that worth the 13-hour drive? Did I satisfy you, little mate?" My voice came out hoarsely, throat still dried from our adventure. "Hmmm... Very much satisfied, Beta." Her eyes were beaming as she gazed up at me, her finger raised to trail my lips as she unconsciously parted her own. She had no idea how seductive she loo
GAVINAfter breakfast, I left the packhouse and went directly to the training building. I have reports I needed to finish but I couldn´t concentrate. I already missed Alia and I was counting the minutes until 10 o´clock so I could see her again. She would be joining Jenny´s training class, and as much as I wanted to wrap her around me, observing from a distance would suffice for now.A few minutes before 10 AM, I walked out of the office and stood by the balcony overlooking the quadrangle. My eyes followed her movement as she walked gracefully from the packhouse to the training area, and although my throat wanted to let out a growl of disapproval over her clothing, I couldn´t deny that my d**k was thinking differently.She was smoking hot on her tight training pants and sports bra. She looked like an angel with a body of a temptress. I don´t think I ever desired someone as much as I did with her.I watched her listen to Jenny
"I embarrassed you out there. Now they would talk about you, us... The Beta´s Mate doesn´t have a wolf!" I confided, my lips started to quiver. "What are you talking about? You just didn´t shift." He chuckled, pulling away from hugging me and cupping my face. "You didn´t embarrass me. I was fucking worried she was going to hurt you." "Gavin... You´re not hearing me!" I took a deep breath and took his hands away from my face, holding them in my hands as I gaze up at him. "I´m confused." A frown creased his forehead as he meet my gaze. "I couldn´t summon Sky anymore. I think I lost my wolf." My voice came out hoarsely. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ GAVIN "I couldn´t summon Sky anymore. I think I lost my wolf." Her voice was shaking and I saw tears pooling in her eyes. "What do you mean?" My heart thudded loud as Kurt growled in my head. He was angry and wanted to come out. I closed my eyes and drop
ALIAI woke up for the umpteenth time and decided I could no longer go back to sleep. The clock on his bedside table read 6:15 and my heart clenched as I glanced at the empty space beside me. His side of the bed was kept neat which only meant that he didn´t sleep here, not that I would not know it if he came home, I barely had my sleep.I wondered where he spent the night. Was he repulsed by my lack of wolf that he no longer wanted to see me?My eyes started to water again, I´ve been crying and sobbing the whole night that my eyes were already burning. I don´t think I had more tears to shed, but then they kept coming.I pulled the sheets over my head and coiled my body as I let more tears trail down my cheeks. The room was so quiet that the only thing I could hear was own sobbing and hiccups, I never felt so alone and lost.Why was life unfair to me? I´ve never done anything wrong but love the only man I wanted, the only man
"Is this just a game to you?" Aaron's eyes were blazing with fire. He was attempting to keep his wolf under control. I should've been terrified, but I wasn't. "You tell me..." I smacked my lips together, pretending his anger didn't bother me at all. "You're confusing me." A growl revibrated from his chest, as his hands coiled into fists. He was ready to walk away when I held my palm against his chest. His eyes delved deep into mine, and I could see his desire growing. "You can have any female you want, and yet here you are, chasing after me when you know exactly that I don't like you." My finger trailed down from his nose to his mouth, brushing his soft lips gently. "Am I a challenge you're trying to win? Because you know I am someone you can't have? Off-limits? Your Alpha's sister?" I could feel his body reacting to my touch, and it was all I ever wanted
ALIA My eyes wandered to the scene below me as I stood on the balcony of our bedroom. The ground was buzzing with pups, and it was a fantastic way to kick off the summer. Gavin was still in the shower. I had no idea how we wound up in our room in the middle of the day, but it was nothing out of the ordinary. After all these years, we still couldn´t get our hands off of each other, that we would always sneak away to give in to our desires. The years just made the sparks grow stronger as the love that we have for each other. I was snapped out of my thought when I heard Catherine shriek with delight together with Marci
20 months after the Beta Union Ceremony ALIA It was Christmas Eve, and we were all gathered at the packhouse dining hall for Christmas Dinner. Since the Luna had experienced Christmases while living with humans, she had made it a tradition for us to celebrate the holiday as well. And since the Alpha's family was also observing the occasion, we had no problem making it big this year. Mom and Dad were here. So were David, Luna Clairand Aaron's father, and Caspian, who came with his mate. The table was alive with conversations, and I couldn't help but be overwhelmed by the abundance of love in this place. It used to be just me, Caspian, and my father over a special dinner, and seeing everyone around me now made tears well up in my eyes. Only one thing was missing, but I couldn't bring myself to ask or beg the Goddess for it. She has given me more than enough, and I would never dare ask for more. Gavin was enough. And this -&nb
6 MONTHS AFTER THE BETA UNION GAVIN I was standing by the balcony at the training building watching my beautiful mate walk side by side with the Luna as they made their way back from the Day Care Center. It´s been six months since the day that Alia was welcomed by this pack as their Beta Female and I couldn't be prouder at what she has accomplished in such a short time. The Luna and her were inseparable. The only time they would agree to separate ways were on times when the Alpha and I demand time from them. But I wasn't complaining. Just seeing Alia settled comfortably in this pack put my mind at ease. I could no longer see the Alia who spends most of her days hiding in her bedroom. Instead, I saw an Alia who would eagerly converse with the pack members or play with the pups she met everywhere. She was thriving here, in my pack, with me. My female. My Alia. If you asked me if I would rather meet Alia in a different circu
ALIAGavin and I walked back to the ballroom after our little tryst. As much as we wanted to just continue what we were doing, we know we had a responsibility to show ourselves to our guests."Alia!" I turned around and saw Andrea rushing towards us, she was grinning and beaming at us happily."Andrea!" I let go of Gavin´s hand and flung my arms open before pulling her for a big hug. "I missed you!" I squeezed her, excitement brewing in me. "How you´ve been? Oh my Goddess, look at you! All ladylike now!"She laughed, then spun around giddily while grasping the hem of her skirt. I giggled back softly, but my gaze was drawn away to my brother, who was standing on the opposite side of the ballroom, watching at us, his mouth twisting into a pleasant smile. I had never seen Caspian smile so adoringly before, and I was convinced he missed having Andrea around."Very lovely!" I tickled the tip of her nose which I usually do when we teased each
'I love you, Alia... I promised to be a better man,' I told her in our mindlink as I dropped my gaze from her while tears started to trickle from my eyes. I fucking felt so emotional right now knowing that I almost destroyed our bond because of my jealousy. Alia was also a mess as she kept squeezing my hand, trying to stop herself from hiccuping from her soft sobs. Elder Garett snapped the black rope around our wrists and melted it on the fire sitting on the table beside him. I really wanted to pull Alia in my arms but the ceremony was still ongoing. "It's time now." Elder Garett patted my back and I nodded as a reply. I wiped the tears from my eyes with the sleeves of my clothes before cupping Alia´s face to wipe all the tears on her face with my thumb. She chuckled softly before helping me wipe off all her tears. We then held each other's hands and let our fangs extend, both of our eyes were whirling black as we let our wolf out
ALIA I couldn't stop the tears from falling down my cheeks no matter how many times I told myself that everything would be fine. Gavin has hurt me in ways I could never have imagined. He no longer wanted to be mated with me, and my heart couldn't take it. Throughout the time that we were sorting out our emotions, he never once pushed me away, and he was the one who was always attempting to win me over, but this time, he simply agreed to let me go. I'm not even sure what I did wrong. I was trying to see past my tears as I pulled all of my clothing from our cabinet and put them on the floor before grabbing my suitcases. I was basically throwing everything in there. I had no idea what I was doing, I didn't want to leave Gavin, but I'm not sure my heart could handle it if he came back and was the one to tell me to leave. I kept crying the whole time that I couldn´t stop the hiccups from escaping my lips and before I knew it, Luna Clair was already
CASPIAN To say that I was shocked by Gavin´s action was an understatement. I never knew this man could disrespect someone but to leave my sister alone out of nowhere at their own party didn´t sit well with me. What the fuck was wrong with him? I watched as Alia followed him out of the ballroom, the crowd was looking as Alia kept calling his name but he never once looked back. Before I could approach my sister outside the Pavillion, Gamma Aaron took her already and they drove off to follow Gavin. "What happened?" In seconds, Alpha Jacob was already beside me. "I need to follow them, I think there´s been a misunderstanding. I don´t quite understand as well." I told Alpha Jacob as I took my car key from my pocket. "I´m coming," Alpha Jacob stated and I just nodded my head. "Me too," Riley added, and as much as I hated this man, I would rather have him away from Andrea at this point. "We'll take my
JANNA I held on to Alpha Caspian´s arm, brushing my palm against his skin. I wasn´t sure why I was doing this but I wanted him to de-stress. Eventually, his shoulder relaxed and I flashed a wide smile to him before turning my head towards the couple approaching us. "Alpha Caspian, great to finally see you again." The male with an Alpha aura was the first one to open his mouth the moment they stopped in front of us. My eyes darted to the female beside him. She was definitely tensed. "Alpha Riley, I wasn´t expecting you here." They exchanged hands but I could feel Alpha Caspian wasn´t pleased with the presence of Alpha Riley. His gaze shifted to the young female at the exact moment I looked at him, and I saw his eyes soften. The Female was looking everywhere, except on Alpha Caspian. He let out a deep sigh before turning his eyes on me, a warm smile tugging on his mouth. "And this lovely female in my arms is Lady Janna. Alpha J
