*BRIANNE’S POV*The girls chatter filled the air as we made our way through the woods, their excitement for the party or gathering was palpable.As we walked further into the woods, the trees grew taller and the shadows deepened. My unease began to creep back in, but the girls kept chatting and laughing, distracting me from my worries and putting my mind at ease…a little bit.Suddenly, they stopped at a clearing—an empty space. I expected to see a crowd of people, music, and lights, but no one was there.Where was everybody?I turned to the girls, my confusion and concern evident. “where is everybody?” I asked, my voice croaked with a hint of unease.“Surprise!” Sophia exclaimed as she ran childishly to the middle of the open space.I watched her with confusion etched on my face. What surprise? They brought me all the way for this?“I thought you said everybody was going to be here,” I said again, trying to get answers from them. My instincts were starting to scream warning but I didn
*BRIANNE’S POV*I shut my eyes tight, bracing myself for the pain, but nothing happened. I opened my eyes slowly, peeking to see what was stopping Sophia’s attack.And that’s when I saw him, Alpha Jordyn, standing right there. How did he find us?His eyes were fixed intently on Sophia, exuding a mix of anger and authority.The hands that held my arms suddenly released them, and the girls moved away from me, fear evident in their eyes. Sophia’s claws retracted, and she took a step back.“Al…Alpha Jordyn… what are you doing here?” Sophia asked in a trembling voice.I stood there, wondering how he knew I was here or how he even found us in these deep woods.‘My brother is your personal GPS’ Janette’s words echoed in my head.“Alpha Jordyn…we were just showing Brianne around,” Sophia said again, smiling awkwardly.His look gave the impression that he wasn’t buying whatever Sophia was saying.He stood in the trees, his gaze resting on me, he didn’t pay any attention to the three girls sta
*BRIANNE’S POV*I sniffed, “yes, it’s all fake,” I said, my voice trembling. “Please just let me go,” I pleaded, tears streaming down my cheeks.His face darkened, and his jaw clenched in frustration. He suddenly moved towards me, his strides elegant but urgent.As he closed the distance between us, he hissed and punched the wall behind me, making me jump. I felt a surge of fear and confusion. His eyes were wide, but not just with anger. They seemed to be burning with raw primal emotion that I couldn’t quite understand.“Brianne!” He growled, his voice low and intense.My mind raced as I stared at him. Why is he getting worked up? I didn’t understand what was happening.“Alpha Jordyn, please…” I started to say, but he cut me short.“You think I want to do this?” He asked with a low growl, his voice dripping with frustration.“You think I always want to go to the rescue of a random girl I met two weeks ago?” He continued,He took a step closer, his veins bulging in his forehead. “You
*BRIANNE’S POV*“Are you okay?” I asked in a low voice, trying to calm him down.But my words seemed to have the opposite effect because his gaze suddenly snapped to me.“Mine!” He growled. “You’re mine!” His hair was damp with sweat and his body was tensed.He needed to calm down, or else, he’d end up hurting himself or even hurting me.I knew I had to act fast, probably pour a bowl of cold water on him.I searched the room frantically, my eyes scanning for anything to help him calm down, but there was no water. Nothing helpful was in sight. The sound of his ragged breathing grew louder and his muscles tensed even more.That’s when I remembered something. If my theory is correct, and I turn out to be his mate, I had to do something to him that would help him calm down. Probably a soft touch, a hug, or…a kiss.No, no. I can’t do that. But a soft touch would probably not do anything from the look of things. I wasn’t thinking straight, I didn’t want him to pass out, because he was alre
*JORDYN'S POV*(Earlier)I sat with Josh in my office, staring blankly at the paper in my hand. My mind was a million miles away, consumed by thoughts that had been plaguing me for days.Josh’s sudden question snapped back to reality.“Are you okay?” He asked, his brows furrowed with concern.I looked up at him, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly. I wanted to confide in him, something that had been burning inside me. But I hesitated, unsure if I was ready to reveal something so personal.“Josh…,” I began, my voice barely above a whisper.Josh’s eyes locked onto mine, his gaze was patient and encouraging. He knew me too well, and I could sense his curiosity piqued.“I think I found my mate…” I said finally, the words tumbling out in a rush.Josh’s expression changed from curiosity to shock. His eyes widened and His mouth opened slightly, as if he was about to say something But couldn't quite form the words. I watched him intently, anxious about his reaction.But to my surprise, his
*JORDYN’S POV*The girls, on the other hand, seemed friendly and enthusiastic, but I couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was off.As they led her out of the arena, I decided to follow them. I couldn’t trust anyone in the arena, and I knew that if they discovered she was wolfless, they’d pounce on her like vultures. I kept a safe distance, using my ability to mask my presence so they wouldn’t smell me.***As we ventured deeper into the woods, the atmosphere grew thick with tension. The girls’ laughter and chatter turned into sinister whispers, and their eyes gleamed with a vicious light. Brianne seemed oblivious to the danger, but I could sense her unease growing.Suddenly, the girls stopped at a clearing, and their expressions transformed into snarls.One of them lunged forward, while the other two grabbed Brianne’s arms.My instinct screamed at me to intervene, but I remained still, watching and waiting.The girl who lunged forward now had a cruel grin on her face.I stood
*BRIANNE’S POV*“Morning, ma’am,” I greeted, standing attention in front of her.She gazed at me for a few seconds, her expression unreadable. “It’d be good if you stayed out of trouble,” She finally spoke, her voice firm, but not unkind.I bowed my head slightly in agreement, feeling a twinge of guilt. Did she know about the incident in the woods?As she turned to walk away, a sudden thought flashed through my mind. I hadn’t seen Sophia and her friends since I arrived at the pack house.“Sorry, ma’am, do you know where I can find Sophia and her friends?” I asked, trying to sound nonchalant. I wasn’t asking because I wanted to meet up with them, but because I was curious about their absence.The instructor’s expression turned guarded and she hesitated before responding. “Expelled!” She said before leaving.What? Expelled? They just expelled them, just like that?I stood there in shock. I knew this was Alpha Jordyn’s doing, but aren’t there better ways to resolve this?Just as I was abo
*BRIANNE’S POV*I was lost in thought all day. Even during the training I couldn’t focus on the task at hand. My mind kept drifting back to Alpha Jordyn, our kiss, what he had said this morning.I couldn’t picture myself in a real relationship with him. What would people say if they found out? Would they accept me as their Alpha’s mate, or would they see me as a weak and unworthy partner?As the day wore on, I couldn’t shake off the feeling that my life was about to change forever. The thought sent shivers down my spine.I tried to picture myself standing by Alpha Jordyn’s side, facing the pack as his mate.Would they respect me, or would they see me as a liability? The uncertainty gnawed at my confidence, making me question everything.The sound of my name suddenly pulled me out of my thoughts. “Brianne, get ready!” The training instructor called out, her voice firm and commanding.“Today’s training is hand-to-hand combat, and you’re up next!”I had totally forgotten about the traini
