MiaWatching Gabriel and our son Max playing in the yard, laughter filling the air, brought a sense of peace and contentment I'd never known before. Max, with his father's eyes and my stubbornness, was a living symbol of our love and all we'd overcome. It was moments like these that made all the struggles worth it."Remember when we thought dealing with rogue wolves was a challenge?" I said, leaning against the doorframe, a smile playing on my lips.Gabriel looked up, a grin spreading across his face as he scooped Max into his arms, making our son giggle with delight. "How could I forget? And let's not start on Alpha Leo and Laleh."I walked over, joining them in the grass, the memories of our past battles weaving through my mind like an epic tale. "It's been quite the journey, hasn't it? From enemies to lovers, from battles to peace."Gabriel set Max down, who immediately began chasing a butterfly, his laughter a melody in the afternoon air. "It's been more than a journey, Mia. It's
MIA’s POVIt's my twentieth birthday and I still hate my life.My life sucks, and every day seems to be a constant reminder of that reality, but today makes me feel worse about my life. I picked up the stainless bucket I was using to mop the floor and squeeze the dirty rag, at least I was done with some of the chores given to me today. I had told Mrs. Caroline, the old cranky head of staff, weeks before today, I wanted to take today off and just sob and drink away my sorrow in an isolated bar, but I still put myself on duty today. "We have a big party coming up and you won't be given that liberty to leave," she'd replied to my request yesterday, in a harsh tone."But I told you for weeks now," I pleaded as tears streamed down my eyes, I just wanted to be anywhere else but here today. "Quit whining Mia, it is a party for the Alpha, the world doesn't revolve around you,"Ironically, she would say that, because my world had always revolved around others, it was almost like I was just
MIA’S POV“Why is it so dark in here?” I mused quietly to myself, adjusting the ridiculous mask I had on my face properly. After the Alpha's rejection, all I wanted to do was change my mask and dress and drink away my sorrow. I am doing both now.My relationship with alcohol was a black-and-white kind of thing, it kept me satisfied as much as it destroyed me. "I hate them all, especially that fucking Alpha," I wasn't sure if I was whispering or thinking out loud. "This alcohol," I mumbled. I sighed, my hands running through my long hair, pushing it into a ponytail before walking around trying to find a spot to relax, away from the crowd."I need to rest before I fall to my death," The more alcohol I consumed the worse my head felt and I couldn’t afford to get sick now that I had been humiliated, all eyes would be on me and that was why I was even here in the first place. Pretending to be one of these goddamn people. "Fuck them all," I muttered and the lady who stood at my side glar
MIA’S POV“Ouch!” I exclaimed. I opened my eyes, I was overwhelmed by a banging headache and a great sense of nausea washed over me. I sat upright on the bed and immediately regretted my decision to do so as I realized how sore the back of my head was and the fact that I was wearing nothing but my underwear and my mask caused me to cringe in embarrassment, the memories of that swarm through my head adding to that feeling and in that moment I wanted nothing more than the floor opening to swallow me. I shook my head slowly to avoid pondering on it too hard as it made the throbbing in my head only get worse and worse. I slowly make my way to the bathroom taking small unsure steps as the alcohol I had consumed still had its effect on my mind and body. I am thankful to find some soap and a towel hanging off the rack and take a quick shower, scrubbing my body to rid the sex, sweat, alcohol, and shame that held onto me like a second skin. After my shower, I pulled my dress back onto my fra
Mia’s POVThere were certain pains indescribable and fucking foolish!I didn’t know what felt worse, being scared physically or emotionally. That stranger after sleeping with me left me with a half-ass "Thank you" note and the Alpha after rejecting me got angry that I spent the night outside. "Hey you stupid girl," I heard someone calling out from behind me. I was used to people calling me that, but I no longer found it offensive. "What?" I snapped angrily because I was already at my limit for bullshit today. "Mrs. Caroline is looking for you," the slender maid said with a smirk on her face and I rolled my eyes.What the hell does she want again? I had done all the extra tasks that were assigned to me today and I just needed a break. A break from all this chaos. I stormed to the kitchen where I knew I would find her but what I didn't expect to find was a small crowd of maids gathered and Alpha Leo and his Beta. This already had the aura of chaos and I wasn't liking all the glaring
MIA's POV"Mia, you should go clean up the Alpha's room," I heard Mrs. Caroline instruct me, going into the Alpha's room is the last thing I want for myself."Are you dumb, stupid girl," she called out when I gave no response."I will do so," I responded, it is not like I have any other choice. "So you heard me the first time and chose not to respond to me, this is why you keep getting in trouble because you are weak and stupid at the same time," she muttered, chuckling at her own joke, I was in no mood whatsoever to condone her insolence. I arched my back a little, trying to stretch it before I bent down to pick up the mop and bucket. This would be the tenth room I would be cleaning and it was barely noon. My back was sore from all the bending but also from the whips I received last night. "I will get on it now," I responded, striding towards the exit of the room. I didn't want to entertain more of her insults. I passed the courtyard to make sure the Alpha was there, he normall
Alpha Tristan Leonardo POVStriding into my room and seeing her in there, made my wolf leap for joy, she is fucking beautiful and I hated how she made me feel.I hated that I couldn't act on that feeling, my pride wouldn't let me."Shut up, you wench," I yelled out. " I am going to make you regret ever rejecting me,"There are a lot of women that would bow down to the privilege of being with an Alpha but here she was, rejecting me.Alpha Tristan Leonardo, I made her call me Alpha Tristan before, even thoughi prefer being called Aloha Leo just to torture her. . No one rejects me and she was just about to find out.Then an idea struck me. Why not show her what exactly she would be missing out on?I gripped her hand, "Alpha Tristan, please," she cried out and I loved the sound of her anguish, they were like music to my ear. “Call me Alpha Leo from now on,” I muttered with a smirk on my face. I pushed her to the bed, and I could see the fright in her eyes, she was petrified. "Alpha Leo,
MIA's POVI had thrown up more than four times in the past few weeks. When I threw up the first time, it was after being forced to watch that disgusting act from Alpha Leo and Diana "This is the fifth time you are throwing up this week, what is wrong with you?" Linda, the maid tasked to join me in cleaning the inner chambers asked."I had a lot of tuna salad last night, and I think I am slightly lactose intolerant lately," I replied, even though it didn't appear like she cared one bit. "I think you should go get yourself checked up, don't want you infecting the rest of us with whatever disease you have in you," she spat out, picking the bucket and giving me some distance. I pondered, maybe she was right, I have been quite ill lately, maybe I should go check myself. I was on my way out when a group of women walked into the inner chambers. I recognized Diana and Mrs. Caroline to be among them, I have been avoiding Diana since that day with Alpha Leo. She smirked at me. "Look who is

CHAPTER 77GABRIELStanding at the altar, I couldn't wipe the grin off my face if I tried. The sun was shining, the birds were probably doing whatever birds do when they're happy, and I was about to marry Mia. I glanced over to my best man, Caleb, who gave me a thumbs up. I rolled my eyes. Trust Caleb to turn a solemn moment into a scene from a buddy comedy.Then, there she was, Mia, looking like she'd just stepped out of a dream. My heart did a funny little dance, the kind that would have embarrassed me if anyone could see it. The music started, and she began walking down the aisle. I swear, everything else just blurred into the background. It was just Mia and me, in our little bubble.As she got closer, I whispered to myself, "Don't trip, don't trip." Not the most romantic thought, but hey, I'm only a man.Mia finally reached me, and her smile said, "I heard that," without her speaking a word. We turned to face the person officiating our ceremony, and everything was perfect. Right u
GABRIELI woke up to the feeling of Mia’s soft body pressed against me, her back fitting snugly against my front. My arm was secured around her waist in a tight grip and my face was buried in her soft, luscious hair. A pleasant feeling went through me as she made a sound in her throat and relaxed further into me. This was definitely the best sleep I’ve had in a long time, especially since I’ve been so stressed and busy.My chest did a double skip at the sight of us in the comfort of each other’s arms, looking like a normal, picture perfect couple. But we were both far from perfect. We both had our issues and that was what made us human. That was what made us complement each other perfectly—like fire and ice, Yin and Yang.My heart filled with warmth as I realized that I had fallen for Mia—undoubtedly and unintentionally— and this time much harder than I had ever fallen for anyone.At that exact moment, the thought of Kiara made its way back to my mind. The lines seemed blurred, as I h
GabrielMia walked in, her steps soft against the floor. I could feel the tension she carried, like a heavy cloak draped around her. She sat beside me, her presence a comforting warmth."Mia," I started, not sure how to broach the subject of Caleb and Kiara. It had been gnawing at me, eating away the peace I so desperately sought in our sanctuary.She turned to me, her eyes searching mine. "Gabriel, we need to talk about Caleb and Kiara," she said, her voice steady but gentle.I sighed, a deep, weary sound. "I've told them both, Mia. I've made it clear. They went behind my back, against my wishes."Mia took my hand, her grip firm. "I know, Gabriel. I know you're hurt. But think about it, love. They found something in each other, something rare. Can't we, shouldn't we, be happy for them?"I wanted to resist, to hold onto my anger and betrayal, but the earnestness in Mia's voice, the genuine concern in her eyes, it made the walls I'd built start to crumble."They disobeyed me, Mia. As t
GabrielI walked very close to her, toe to toe, and she looked straight up into my eyes expectantly. I lifted her bag up to her between our bodies purposely brushing the valley between her tits with my hand. "I rescued your dignity from Kiara." I showed her the bikini top and told her about the conversation that had occurred between him and me, letting her in on the cover story. I patted her ass and told her, "Your secret remains safe with me."She wrapped her arms around me in a hug and mashed her globes against my sternum. My hand was wonderfully trapped in her cleavage. I dropped the bag and kicked it to the side. I wiggled my hand around to cop a feel of one tit while my other hand gripped her firm ass. "My savior", she said into my chest. My Cock started to prod her stomach. She tilted her head back closed her eyes and pursed her lips. I leaned down and kissed her on the mouth. At the moment this encounter was about to turn that corner I wanted to reach, inopportunity knocked
MIAI can't believe Gabriel and I are finally talking about our mating ceremony. It feels like a dream, one I've been scared to wake up from. But here we are, sitting on the edge of our bed, the moonlight casting a soft glow through the window, making everything feel a bit magical."So, what do you think?" Gabriel breaks the silence, his voice pulling me back from my thoughts. "Big ceremony or something more intimate?"I chew on my bottom lip, considering. Part of me craves the intimacy of a small gathering, just us and our closest friends and family. But another part, the part that's still a little girl at heart, wants the fairy tale. "Can we find a middle ground? Not too big, but not too small. I want it to feel special, but I also want it to be us."Gabriel smiles, his eyes lighting up in a way that makes my heart flutter. "That sounds perfect. Just like you."I roll my eyes, but I can't hide the blush that creeps up my cheeks. "We need to decide on a date," I say, trying to steer
CHAPTER 72ALPHA LEOI paced back and forth in my private chamber, my thoughts a raging storm. The audacity of Mia's escape, taking Diana along, gnawed at me like a persistent wound. Kyle stood at the edge, his posture too relaxed for my liking, watching me with those eyes that always seemed too calm."We need to bring Diana back. And Mia," I declared, the words slicing through the tense air. "They think they can just leave, undermine my authority? It's unacceptable."Kyle shifted, finally breaking his silence. "Leo, maybe it's time to let this go. Focus on the pack. They need stability, not more chaos."Let it go? The suggestion inflamed me, fueling the fire that raged within. "Let it go?" I repeated, my voice rising, a growl threading through the words. "You think I should just forget the betrayal? They made me look weak, Kyle. Weak!"He took a cautious step forward, a mistake. "It's not about weakness, Leo. It's about choosing your battles. This obsession with getting them back—it'
UntitledGabriel and I have found a habit of seeing each other in the other room because of Max. I didn't like keeping our relationship a secret but right now, but we just got back together and Alpha Leo is still grieved, that was the only way we could be with each other. He came into my room this night like he has been doing all through out.I lost every sense of reasoning when I gazed at him and trailed his eyes, he was staring at my breast, I wasn't wearing any bra and my nipple lines were visible from my silky dress."Just call my name," he muttered to me, his voice was hoarse and you can see how he longed for me. I was trying to fight every will in me to say no, no to him pinning me to the wall and having my body press to his. "Gabriel," I whispered and that was the tipping point for us, he took my lips into his, kissing me hungrily. He lifted me and placed me on top of the counter, While our lips parted for a split second to breathe, it was just like going underwater and com
CHAPTER 70MIASitting by the poolside under the blanket of stars, the night air was cool and filled with the soft sounds of water lapping at the edges. Gabriel and I had found a quiet moment, a peaceful break from the chaos that seemed to constantly swirl around us. It was moments like these I cherished, where we could just be Mia and Gabriel, not Alpha and Luna or warriors in a never-ending battle."You know," Gabriel started, breaking the comfortable silence that had settled between us, "I've missed this. Just talking. It feels like it's been forever since we've had a moment of peace."I smiled, tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ear. "Yeah, life's been a bit of a whirlwind, hasn't it?" The understatement of the century, really. Between battles, secrets, and heartaches, 'whirlwind' was putting it mildly.He scooted closer, his arm brushing against mine, sending a familiar shiver down my spine. "I've missed you, Mia. More than I thought possible."Hearing him say that, so open
