Hello, lovelies!
Spin-off Novel Book 3 - Stealing The Heart of My Alpha
Happy New Month! ♡ I just want to confirm what some of you have guessed: Alpha Aeon will be the next Alpha in the spin-off series. He has always been my choice to end the series.
I have mentioned in my inst* >>> author.cassa.m <<< previously that the Black Shadow Pack Series will come full circle as it ends.
If you noticed, all the Alphas in the spin-off series were all related to the females of our Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.
Alpha Caspian - Aaron was jealous of his closeness with Janna.
Alpha Riley - was Alia's childhood crush and the only male she was attracted to aside from Gavin.
Alpha Aeon - of course, you all know that he tried to claim Clair.
I know some of you are not warming up to Alpha Aeon yet, but I hope you will give this Alpha a chance as you did with Alpha Riley. Because as much as he was the bad guy in Alpha Jake and Clair's story, he has his own story to tell. We might or might not see more of him in Alpha Riley's book, but the chapters before this would pave the way for the start of his story. We still have a few weeks more before we wrap up Through The Eyes of My Alpha (and there is still a lot more to tell and loose ends that we will tie up) and I hope you will continue with this redemption journey for Riley and Nadia because it will be worth it. If Riley found his mother, it's just fair enough that Nadia would have something from her past too, right?
As for the other Alphas (and unmated males) - I will make sure that if they don't meet their mates in this book, we will surely find them in the next book because, as we all know, no one gets left behind.
I'm hoping you will support me on the next book as well. That would mean a lot to me! ♡
P.S. The last installment will not be released until I finished Alpha Riley's and Beta Paul's books.
xoxo, Cassandra M ♡
A week after. NADIA. The week just went by swiftly, but I couldn’t complain. My days were filled with too many activities, and I was thankful that I was having a normal pregnancy. My pup has never given me any nausea or any problems, aside from my addiction to custard cake and decaffeinated coffee. Yes, coffee. Maybe because it was Riley’s scent that whenever he wasn’t around me, I craved him more and the scent of coffee helped me get through the hours without him. And I missed Laura’s cake. Although I was able to force Jenny to help me make one, we couldn’t get the perfect taste like the one Laura made for me in Atlanta. But when Zahra told me that Laura had made one for me and that she was taking it today, it made me happy all morning. I could already feel the custard cake melting in my mouth. All I was thinking right now was how to keep it to make sure no one would see it and take it away from me. And no, Riley was not an exception. He could probably taste it, but one spoon is e
(YOUNG) ALPHA CALEB. I had nothing scheduled for the day, so I pulled Dawson away from his computer games, and we drove off to Riley’s territory. I knew we were too early for Nadia’s birthday dinner, but I had been wanting to visit my cousin’s territory for another reason. Anya. When I met her almost six months ago, I asked when she would be turning eighteen, and she told me the exact day. It was a couple of days ago, and Nadia’s birthday dinner was just the perfect timing. I was hoping she would be here tonight, but if not, I had to find a way to see her, even if that meant visiting her home. But the thing was, I just couldn’t ask Sebastian. Riley’s Gamma was a known playboy before he met Jenny, and I believe it was for the same reason he was so protective of his sister when it came to dating. So asking him would be out of the question. I had to find a way to see Anya on my own. I’ve never been so taken with a woman that I couldn’t stop thinking about her for days. Fuck that! T
RILEY. "Why did you choose him over me?" I asked, my gaze meeting her blue eyes, the same set of eyes that I have. She took a deep breath before tilting her back to look behind her before meeting my gaze again. "Can we talk outside? If it’s okay with you, I would rather keep our conversation private." I would have preferred a private conversation in my office, but having it out in the open was better. I knew I would feel suffocated if I stayed in a closed room with her. I moved away from the door and let her out before I turned around and followed her, closing the sliding door behind me. She went down the steps and headed for the back garden. Her face lit up at the sight of the flowers blooming beautifully under the sunset. "These flowers," she started, her hand running over the tall rose bushes. "I planted those even before I became the Luna of this pack. It’s still here." She had a wide smile on her face until she realized something, and it was immediately wiped off. "Now that
NADIA. Instead of focusing on preparing ourselves for the dinner, we spent time talking about Katarina and Aeon. Katarina didn’t want to spill the beans, but I just couldn’t ignore the sadness in her eyes, and eventually, she told me everything. And my heart was crushed, not just for her but for Alpha Darvin. I wished we could do something, but from what Katarina told me, only she and Alpha Aeon knew of her brother’s ordeal. And I hoped the Alpha would tell Riley because I don’t think I would be able to hide it from my mate. "But let’s forget about me or anything I told you." Katarina’s lips curled into a smile as she shifted her gaze between me and Jenny. "Tonight we will enjoy your dinner because this is all about you and that pup there." She pointed her finger at my stomach before gently tapping it. I just let out a deep sigh. I knew I would enjoy the dinner because Riley and Zahra were here, but how would I look at Alpha Darvin without my heart clenching in pain? We might neve
RILEY. "Enough, you two — I'm starving." Nadia clasped my hand with her and tugged me towards the ground where our table was set up, with Darvin following us. "We can continue your conversation at the table." Everyone at the table stood up from their seats, and those who were away from it moved closer as they welcomed me and Nadia. We didn’t have anything fancy tonight, just a simple dinner for people close to Nadia’s heart. I originally wanted to spend Nadia's birthday with just the two of us, but the plan changed so I could have a reason to invite my mother back to the territory without too much pressure on me and her and because Nadia wanted her here. Everyone greeted Nadia and me before we all took our seats. Some seats were still vacant. Dominic, Caleb, Anya, and the twins were not yet around. My gaze was drawn to Dawson, who rose from his chair and walked to the opposite side, slumping into the empty seat meant for one of the twins before leaning his arms over the two empt
DAWSON. I rested my arms on the chairs beside me as I looked at everyone at the table while the Omegas were serving food. The night was turning out to be boring, not because the people around me were boring. It was simply because I felt alone, especially every time I looked at Riley and his Luna. They seemed to always get lost in their own worlds, and we had to draw their attention to remind them we were around. Plus the fact that my brother, Caleb, found his mate today. Not that I was jealous of Caleb. If there was anyone who deserved to find their mate, it was him. It was about fucking time so he could take the position that rightfully belonged to him by birth. And I hope things will work out between him and Anya. And no, I never fancied Anya. I was just playing around. I already knew she was already 18 because Caleb couldn’t shut his mouth up about that female. I just didn’t expect him to think that I was hitting on the female he wanted, but maybe because I took my joke too
NADIA. Everyone was eating when Dawson and Ellie came back hand in hand. My eyes flew to Ellie’s neck to check if she was marked, but there was nothing. But even with the absence of the mark, I could see that they had accepted each other. Riley was quiet, like Leandro, but Zahra stood up from her seat as well as Bella. Caleb did as well, and the new couple parted ways to meet their own families. "Atta boy!" Caleb hugged Dawson, and they tried to outdo each other, laughing. My own lips curved into a smile as I watched the brothers, knowing that they’d been waiting for their mate for a long time already. "Mom will be ecstatic! Poor Trent! I hope he brought home a mate too." Dawson told Caleb. "We still have one unmated female over eighteen, maybe Trent is mated to her," Felix added, his eyes teasing Leandro, and Leandro just shook his head. "One is enough for today. Let’s save Bella for another day." I heard Riley chuckle. He was probably agreeing with Leandro because he was no
BETA DOMINIC. I prepared the bonfire and excused myself from the young crowd. I went straight to the pack house to help my parents and the others in the receiving room so they could have their own party, and I also handed over the keys to the bedrooms I assigned to them for tonight. Mom and Dad, and Nicole decided to spend the night here. And Riley had asked his mother and Leandro to stay as well, which Zahra accepted right away. When I had done my job, I threaded my way back to the forest where I left the Alpha and Luna with their guests. I was almost there when I saw a petite figure walking through the forest, going in the other direction, away from where the bonfire was. Sofia. I debated whether I should follow her or just leave her alone. I knew the grounds were safe, but I remembered the sadness on her face that she had all night, and I was curious to find out why. So instead of going back to the bonfire, I went after her without making any noise. The wind was blowing away f

12 YEARS AFTER THE LUNA CEREMONY RILEY. "Zach, come here." My firm voice echoed in the cemetery as Zach walked toward us with a solemn expression on his face. Just by the sound of my voice, he knew I was upset with him. He sat down in front of me and Nadia, crossing his legs and sitting on them as he clasped his hands together before locking eyes with mine. That was one thing I taught my son, to look me in the eyes whenever I talked with him. "Explain why you shouted at Amber earlier," I asked him, my forehead creasing. We just came from Caspian and Andrea’s twins’ 10th birthday party. The whole time, we saw Zach tease and taunt Amber, which was not his usual behavior. But we didn’t mind. Zach has always behaved, except whenever Amber was around. And Caspian’s little princess never backed down and would always fight back whenever Zach attempted to annoy her. And all the time they would make a fuzz, we just let it slide because, at the end of the day, they would still be attached
EIGHT YEARS LATER.RILEY."Harder! Please! Oh yes! More!" Nadia was whimpering under my hold, and I obliged. My hand was gripping her hips tightly as I grunted while I pounced into her. She was a temptress. I woke up with her mouth on my dick, giving me pleasure that only she could provide, before demanding I fuck her as payback for my early treat. And I was more than willing to pay."Nadia... Fuck!" I groaned, my mouth pressed against her hair. Her sweet scent combined with the smell of her arousal was giving me an ultimate high. Like my own personal fucking drug.I was having the best time of my life when a sudden movement from outside our room caught my ears. And then soft knocks came.Nadia was so lost in ecstasy, and that was probably the reason she didn’t hear the soft knocks. Soon, I caught a whiff of Nikka, my youngest twin daughter. She was the one behind the door.Shit! I didn’t want to stop fucking Nadia. I could feel her on the brink of her release. We were standing, her
The Luna Ceremony. NADIA. My union ceremony with Riley as well as my Luna Ceremony just ended an hour ago. The ballroom was now buzzing with guests from almost all the packs that we had an alliance with. Some of the Lunas I had met, but there were new faces as well. But most importantly, Katarina was here. With her very own Alpha. I watched with happiness overwhelming my heart as my best friend danced gracefully in the arms of the man she wanted and, eventually, the one she ended up with. She had a tough ride, but she made it through. If there was anyone who deserved happiness, it was the female who stood up for me all these years. The only female who made me feel important even when I had nothing to offer her back. "They looked good together…" Riley’s warm and comforting breath fanned through over my neck as he brushed his lips against my skin, bringing tingles and sparks that only he could give me. His arm coiled around my body as I turned around and snuggled into him while my a
ALPHA DARVIN. "Where do you think you’re going?" Katarina’s voice reached my ears as I was about to step out of the packhouse. She must have descended the stairs and caught my scent. I spun around, a wide grin on my face as I looked at my sister, who was approaching with her eyebrows hiked up as she looked at me from head to toe. "Are you wearing a perfume?" She asked. "Does it smell bad?" I answered almost immediately. "No. It actually smells nice but… just wondering why?" I couldn’t blame her for her curiosity. Werewolves emit scents that are simply attractive to other wolves, and a special scent just for their mate, so there was simply no need to shower in perfume. Unless, of course, your mate happens to be human and would not be able to scent your special scent. "Oh Goddess, did you brush up your hair and clean your face too?" Katarina came forward and cupped my face. "Darvin, are you okay?" I chuckled as I held her palms and withdrew them from my cheeks. "Do I look good?"
ALPHA DARVIN. After thinking about it for months, I finally had the courage to dial her number. My wolf, Titan, was getting weaker, and I was getting restless. We wanted to at least hear her voice, even if it was for the last time. After three rings, she picked up her mobile phone, and her sweet voice was like music to my ears. "Hello…" I said I just wanted to hear her voice, but I couldn’t find it in me to drop the call. I would wait until she does. A few seconds had gone by and she was still on the line and I could hear her breathing. "Hello…" She said it one more time before she let out a deep sigh, and I knew she would be dropping the phone call soon. "Is this Celeste?" I didn’t know what got into me. All I knew was that I suddenly didn’t like the idea of her hanging up. "Yes. Who’s this?" But her voice sounded chirpier this time. "This is Darvin… I’m not sure if you remember me, but I am…" "Darvin… Riley’s friend…" She cut me off, and I don’t know why, but I could pictur
NADIA."What time are Bella and Trent coming?" I asked Ellie for the nth time, and she giggled again, as she did earlier. "I don’t know. Why don't you believe me?" "She’s your twin. I’m sure she tells you everything." I answered her. We were all planning to visit the cemetery today, but we haven’t heard of Bella and Trent if they were already on their way here."Well, not anymore. We don’t talk about sex and stuff, and I think that’s what Bella and Trent have been doing mostly these days." Her eyes were squinting as she laughed heartily the moment she saw her brother’s head snapped up to look at her with an annoyed expression on his face.We were eating lunch in the dining room. Only the three of us were around since Sebastian and Jenny were eating lunch with their mothers. Dominic was out somewhere for work and Dawson was on the training grounds.After Zahra and Leandro’s deaths, the twins moved out of Atlanta and transferred directly into the territory, and were initiated into the
BETA DOMINIC. I was on the other side of the territory with Alpha Riley when Gamma Sebastian’s message came. He stated that he had granted Sofia permission to enter the territory and that she was on her way to the packhouse. My mind went into a haze. She was not supposed to be traveling at a time like this. Since the incident with Zahra, all of the Alphas in the area have agreed to only travel with females when absolutely necessary. And having her travel without Alpha Darvin with her didn’t sit well with me. "Alpha," I called for my Alpha’s attention. "Hmmm..." he replied before turning his gaze on me. "Do you think you’ll be fine if I leave you alone here? Sofia is on her way to the packhouse with just Alpha Darvin’s men with her." "What the fuck is she doing here?" I shrugged my shoulders before I brushed my hand over my hair. "I had no fucking idea." "Go then. I’ll just wrap it up here and tell Nadia I’ll be home soon after." I cocked my head to the side in submission befo
NADIA. The packhouse was still gloomy, but it was swarming with warriors today. Riley has stepped up the security within the packhouse and around the territory. The vast neutral forest connecting Alpha Caspian and Alpha Darvin’s territories with us was now rounded up by warriors from all three packs. There was already security before, but it wasn’t as established as it is now. After breakfast, Riley stayed in his office with Alpha Aeon. The Alpha arrived early this morning to pay respect to Zahra, and they’ve been discussing something behind closed doors. Only the Beta and the Gamma were allowed inside, and even Jenny had no idea what was going on. But I wasn’t worried. I knew Riley would let me know once we had our time alone. I was relieved that at least he was moving around and discussing things rather than being stuck in one place. Not that he was not allowed to mourn Zahra, but I didn’t want him to feel that he hadn’t made Zahra happy, because I knew that even in the short ti
