Hi, lovelies! Thank you for waiting! I only have one today, but I will try to come up with more tomorrow. Thank you for the early gems this month. You have given us 112 already as of this time! Thank you for your never-ending support. We still have a long way to go because this story has more 'issues' than the rest of my books. I hope you will stick with us as we find answers and healing for our main leads. P.S: Aren't Sebastian and Jenny lovely? Over the weekend, I reread parts of He's My Alpha, and Jenny was a big part of that book (&Andrea's book too!) so I thought I owe her 'something' so I am giving you a little sneak peek of her life with Sebastian in this chapter and hopefully in the coming chapters too, because this girl is just simply wonderful! ♡
NADIA. I woke up wrapped up in Riley’s arms, and I almost forgot that we were not on good terms at the moment. I missed his warmth and the explosive sparks that only his touch could give me. I reveled in them until it dawned on me that he had taken advantage of my sleeping state. I told him to stay by his side, and he obviously didn't keep his word. My nose flared, and I was about to wake him up so I could berate him for his actions when I realized that I was actually the one sleeping on his side of the bed, which meant I was the one who crawled over to him. Unless he carried me to his side. But he had told me previously that I always crawled to his side, so I wasn’t sure now if this was my doing or not. So instead of confronting him, I found myself placing a soft kiss on his nose before slowly and carefully sliding to my side of the bed and curling up under the blanket, hoping he would never find out that I slept in his arms and that I stole a kiss from him. I tried to go to sle
RILEY.I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face as I waited for Nadia to get ready. I was already at the front of the pack house and was leaving instructions for my Beta since he wouldn’t be coming with me today. I'd bring two warriors with me to convoy with us for extra protection, not for me but for my mate. I knew I could protect her if anything happened, but I would never take any risk, so I needed extra men with me. I smelled Nadia approaching. I turned around and saw her with two apples in her hands. "Breakfast." I just smiled at her. We could just grab breakfast along the way."I’m ready." She smiled as she stopped beside me, acknowledging my Beta after he paid respect to her."Good. Shall we?" I placed a hand on her back, hoping she wouldn’t move away from it as I guided her towards the car.Thankfully, she didn’t."Is the Beta not coming with us?" She asked after she buckled her seatbelt, her eyes looking at Beta Dominic, who was still standing by the steps as I maneuvered the
RILEY. The moment we stepped inside the conference room, I felt Nadia’s emotions bouncing all over the place. She was terrified of something, but she was putting on a good face, smiling and shaking hands with people who were eager to meet her. But I knew better, something was off. This was more than just nervousness. I held her back with my palm, hoping my touch would calm her down as I guided her to the seat assigned to us. The meeting commenced, and although my attention was focused on the people speaking, I was still looking out for Nadia. She was just listening, but her neck was stiff as fuck as if she didn’t want to turn her head in another direction. I let my eyes wander around the room, and that was when I noticed someone who had been staring at my mate for a long time already. Benedict Solange. He was the son of the mayor of the eastern territory. If I remember correctly, that was the border where I picked up Nadia when her uncle brought her to my territory, and I was
NADIA. We were already driving for more than ten minutes but Riley wasn’t talking or even glancing my way while I already positioned myself at an angle so that I was facing him but he wasn’t budging from looking just straight ahead. This was already frustrating. "Riley, talk to me," I told him in a low, hoarse voice. "What do you want me to say?" "I don’t know. Just say something, anything, just don’t ignore me." Silence. I let out a loud sigh before crossing my arms against my chest. "Do you have questions? Do you want to know something?" "Why didn't you turn off your mind link when I asked you to?" "Because I didn’t want to. Why are you making a big fuss about it? Why don’t you ask me what we were talking about instead of restricting me? Are you trying to control me?" "If it's a matter of life and death, you need to fucking obey me! I’m your fucking Alpha!" "So you’re the Alpha! And what am I? Your puppet?" I asked sarcastically. "And besides, it's not a matter of life an
NADIA. Katarina is here. I dropped Riley’s hand without a warning and ran towards the pack house. "Katarina!" I was shrieking in excitement. I didn’t even know where I would find her, but I just let my feet take me where they wanted to go. 'Careful! You might fall flat on your face!' Riley’s mind was linked with mine, and I could hear him chuckling at the other end. I giggled, but I didn’t answer him back as my feet hurried towards the big receiving area on the other side of the house. I was excited to see her. She was the only part of my old life that I didn’t want to throw away. I found Katarina sitting on the big couch, flipping the pages of a magazine. I stopped by the entryway, catching my breath before calling her attention. "See something that you like?" I asked, hands on my hips, and I watched her head snap in my direction. It took a while before she started shrieking and hurriedly ran toward me. "Oh Goddess, Nadia! I’m so happy to see you! I thought I would never see
BETA DOMINIC. "Where exactly are you taking me?" Sofia turned around abruptly without any warning, and her face bumped directly into my torso. "Ewww! Your sweat!" She grunted as she wiped my sweat off her face, and I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. She was exaggerating. We have barely walked for thirty minutes now, and although I have sweat, it wasn’t enough to soil my shirt. "Don’t worry, I showered this morning. So it’s a fresh sweat." I pulled out a handkerchief from my jeans’ back pocket and wiped her face with it, which she didn’t appreciate because she pushed my hand away like it was on fire. "Don’t touch me." If her snarl could kill someone, I would probably be six feet under the ground now. "You’re too whiny for a seventeen-year-old. You complained of sweat and now I am taking it off. You're still complaining." "I don’t know where you used that cloth." She glared at me as she fixed her long wavy locks into a ponytail. "Excuse me?" "Never mind. Where are we now? And
RILEY. "I just don’t feel that I am ready to be a Luna just yet. Give me a little more time, Riley." Her words keep ringing in my head. I wanted to understand her, but a part of me felt that she didn’t want to be officially a part of me. But I didn’t voice my concern. Maybe she just really needed time to get used to everything. So I tried my best to shove off any bad thoughts running in my head, especially the one telling me that she didn’t want to stay here for good. "Do you want more?" Nadia asked, snapping me out of my thoughts, and my eyes darted to her, meeting her dark brown eyes before I lowered my gaze to my plate. I didn’t even notice she had been placing food on my plate. "More…" I smiled at her and she obliged, placing more meat on my plate before covering it with sauce. "Thank you," I told her in a low voice, and she just smiled back at me before placing food on her plate. Lady Katarina and Lady Sofia stayed for dinner, but my Gamma couple were not with us since it
NADIA. Tonight was a full moon, and I stood beside Riley, watching as the male pups about to shift crumbled in agony. I remembered my own shifting, and although Alpha Darvin and his Gamma were there, it did nothing to ease the pain. And I honestly had no idea if I should be doing anything or something to console or help them. This was one of the reasons I didn’t want the Luna ceremony yet. I had no idea what the title entailed or what was needed of me. All my life, I was just told what I needed to do, and when I did something wrong, I would be punished. And I didn’t want what I had with Riley to end this way. I didn’t want to disappoint him. I didn’t want him to change his mind about me just because I couldn’t perform well as a Luna. So I took learning things seriously. I had spent my days learning about the pack, how big the territory was, the traditions and customs, and the people. But somehow, it felt like what I was doing was still not enough. And I have to do more. "Shou

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
