Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 14 - Love to Tango
Emily's POV "Hide my scent," I ordered Willow, and she growled at me. Mila had dragged me to the center of the dance floor, unconcerned about what was going on around her. I tried to keep my pose, but it was difficult with Willow clawing to take control. "Why should I?" She demanded angrily. "He is our mate. He should love us! We need to find him!" "Do as I say, or else I will block you off!" I warned her. I wasn't sure if it was Alex or someone else standing and watching us, but I could feel his eyes burning into the back of my head. I had become uncomfortable under his continuous gaze. "Fine!" Willow growled, hiding my scent—it was a little perk of being a fire wolf. Mila must have noticed my struggle, and she came closer, swaying to the music. I noticed that many men, especially humans, were drooling on the floor while watching her. "What's wrong?" Mila asked. "Top office, to your left?" I said, trying to act normally. Mila's gaze slowly moved and got stuck on the dark
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 15 - Find Emily
Alexander POV As soon as I walked out of my office, the soft scent of roses invaded my nose, and Ghost went wild inside my head, scratching to be released. "Calm down!" I snapped, pushing him back. "That's Emily, our mate we are scenting," Ghost yelled. "She's here! Find her!" "I am trying!" I growled impatiently. But her scent seemed to be fading!" That confused both of us—was the girl I just saw Emily or someone else? My gaze traveled over the dance floor, seeing that Emily's friend had left. She wasn't at the bar. My gaze snapped at the tables on the top floor, looking over the dance floor. I spot Mila first. If the girl who is sitting opposite her isn't Emily, she should know where she has gone. I was sure Mila and Jax had something to do with her disappearance; why else would they both jump packs and disappear? I sighed under my breath as I made it to the stairs. I had followed Mila's and Jax's trail as far as I could, but the trail ran cold. I even asked Mila's fath
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 16 - Family Secrets
Alexander POV "Find her!" I roared. "Find her now!" How could I have let her slip from my hands!? I was furious, beyond upset that Emily managed to get away. Where has she gone? Where did she hide all these years, and how was she able to block off her scent? "Her wolf blocked me," Ghost said. "She's strong. She might even be stronger than us." "You are a snow wolf, Ghost," I said, turning my attention to him. "No wolf can compare to you." "Except fire wolves," he said, taking a seat in my mind. "They are extinct," I said. "The chance of her being one is extremely slim. That would mean she has Lycan blood in her system." "Think about it," Ghost said. "I could feel her wolf, but she didn't have one. She must have shifted after she left." "Do you think my father expected that?" I asked. "Well, he believed she was a late bloomer," Ghost replied. It did make sense, but did her parents know? I sat back in my office chair, thinking. Emily's parents weren't too concerned about
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 17 - Cold, hard truth
Emily's POV "You have got to be kidding me," I sneered, reading the information on the report Xavier gave me. "What's wrong?" He asked, taken aback by my sudden mood change. "You are telling me that the Opal Pack is part of this attack?" I growled. It had been a week since I saw and danced with Alex in the club, and as much as I tried to fight my unwanted feelings, my mind kept drifting back to him. Willow helped me escape the club undetected while some woman distracted Alex; I wasn't ready to face him. Now, it seems impossible to hide any further. I would be living in the club and surrounding areas until my mission was complete. "Not particularly," Xavier said. "My informant just states that whoever is responsible, likes using the Tango club as their base." "Is Alpha Black part of the scheme?" I asked, feeling my blood boil inside my veins. If he was, I would personally rip him to shreds and make sure Lex would never know Alex was his father. "We are not sure," Xavier said wi
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 18 - Visitor
Emily's POV I silently waited for Alex in his office. I was in no mood for a casual chit-chat, but I had come to warn him. My hands balled into fists, thinking of what he did, and the muscles in my jaw tightened. I was furious into oblivion. How dare he threaten my family and friends! How dare he target Mila! My gaze snapped toward the entrance of the club, seeing the bouncers standing at the door, letting people in. I got in quite easily, with Mila's help, of course. It was Friday night, and the club would be buzzing with hundreds of people soon. A small smile followed on my lips. I left something for Alex's wolf at the front door; it would drive him crazy. I sat back, tapping my fingers on the small side table, standing against the window. Alex might not see me here, but I would be able to see him. My gaze moved to the sea of people below; some were already intoxicated and were swaying from side to side on the dance floor. It was quite interesting watching from the top; i
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 19 - First breakthrough
Alexander POV "What are you talking about?" I snapped. Luke gestured to the corner of the office, yet I didn't see anyone. Was he going nuts? Or am I blind? I lift my nose into the air, taking a deep whiff. My body stiffened when I noticed the soft, almost nonexistent rose scent lingering in the air; it was the same smell that triggered Ghost when I entered the club. Ghost howled and scratched to be released, yet I pushed him aside and blocked him off. "Emily," I internally muttered to myself, and the next second she walked out of the shadows as if I had called her. "She came!" I heard Ghost appear excitedly in my mind. Emily's face was hidden behind the same black mask she wore the night I asked her to dance. Yet, I couldn't help noticing the coldness in her eyes staring back at me. "Alpha Black," she said, crossing her arms around her chest defensively. "Call me Alex," I said, trying to lighten the mood. Emily glared at me with so much anger that I couldn't help but st
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 20 - Lustful predicament
Emily's POV A week flew past quickly, and I found myself on my way to the Opal Pack territory. I needed to keep my promise to Alex; he expected to be visited, and I wasn't going to go back on my word. I felt quite excited about seeing him, and I couldn't wait to see the joy in his eyes when he noticed me. On my last visit to the club, it became unbearable to stay any longer; I had a hard time focusing. Alex's intoxicated apple crumble scent was driving me wild inside. It urged me to touch him, feel him, and hear him. My thoughts had spiraled out of control, and my hormones were happily adding to my dilemma. Thank the Goddess, Willow could hide my scent; otherwise, we would have ended up on the office table f*cking each other's brains out. I sighed. Willow didn't help much either; she added to the discomfort. She kept on whimpering and whining in my mind, wanting to let Alex's wolf connect with her. "Ghost is begging for me to answer him," Willow said. "He is scratching and h
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 21 - Spiraled out of control
Alexander POV "Alpha!" One of the border patrol guards mind-linked. "We have picked up an unknown scent crossing the border." "How many?" I asked, dropping my pen on my desk. I was working through the pack report. "Only one, Alpha," he replied, sounding worried. "That's odd," Ghost said. "The rogues usually attack in numbers." "I know," I said, finding the situation confusing. "Maybe they have sent only one rogue to create a diversion." "We need to sound the alarm and have every warrior ready to protect the pack," Ghost said, and started pacing up and down my mind, ready to rip anyone who dared cross our boundary to pieces. "Agreed!" I growled. In the last four years, the pack has suffered the loss of over thirty pack members due to rogue attacks; none of their bodies were recovered. That made me believe that the rogues might have taken them hostage for some odd reason. "Sound the alarm and get all the women and children to the safe house," I ordered. "I don't want any casua

Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 120 - Epilogue
Emily's POV I was getting dressed for tonight's proceedings. We were celebrating the first anniversary of the fall of King Xavier and his rogue kingdom, and I was exceptionally excited about tonight. The event tonight was expected to draw in all the packs. Everyone heard of the battle, and they were thankful for having their pack members back. Not only was it the first anniversary of Xavier's passing, but it was also the first commemorative anniversary of the Lycans' ascent to power. I heard a faint knock on my bedroom door, and Sasha peeked her head around it a moment later. Sasha discovered me applying makeup at the vanity, her gaze lingering over me. "Luna," she uttered as she pushed open the door. "You look amazing. Alpha Alexander will fall deeply in love with you once more." "I appreciate it, Sasha," I said, reaching for the brush and giving it to her. "It means so much to me." Sasha moved in closer, grabbed the brush from me, and began fixing my hair. I could sense som
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 119 - Spread your wings
Emily's POV "You are back!" I reached out to Willow in a tired whisper. "I thought you were gone." "I never left," Willow said as she slowly made her way toward me from the depths of my mind. She looked terrible. Her fur was matted, her eyes had lost their brilliant spark, and she appeared to be in excruciating pain. "I am happy you are here with me," I said. "At least you will be by my side when we are dying." "Don't even think about it! It's not your time!" Willow growled, but it sounded more like a whimper than a growl, which made me laugh and cough. "I am too weak," I said. "It would be ineffective even if you attempted to heal me. I am aware of your state, and you are incapable of curing me. Xavier won. It's over! I desire a peaceful death." The outside world quieted down to a murmur, and I felt peaceful for the first time in several days. After stumbling over to my side, Willow rested her head on my chest. I reached over and started petting her behind her ears. "He will
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 118 - End to this madness
Alexander’s POV "Alpha Alexander Black!" Xavier's voice shot out from behind me when I was crouching next to Emily's body. "Were you really thinking that I would not see you and your beta slinking closer?"While my father went back to my mother's side, Luke helped me get back to Emily sooner than I had anticipated. My parents proceeded to help Sasha and Lula free the pack members."It is over," I said, flinching unwillingly at the sight of his beast up close. "It ends now. You will not win this!"Xavier's ability to remain upright despite the blood spurting from his side shocked me. His neck and chest were covered in a few badly broken scratches and claw marks that would not heal.Was it Basilia who had done that to him?And if she did, where is she?Xavier's thin lips turned up into a grin as he raised his eyebrows."She's dead," he declared. "By the way."Furrowing my brows, I was unable to comprehend his words."Emily is fine," I argued.Xavier laughed and tossed his head back."N

Alexander’s POVI gripped Emily's limp body while I extracted my canines from her nape. I swear, I saw a brief flash of light in her dull eyes.Was I successful?Was she getting any better?Is she going to be okay?"Emily," I whispered as I softly stroked the side of her face. "Return to me, please!"A roar sounded behind me, then a loud rumbling noise, and in the blink of an eye, I was launched into the air and separated from Emily. I came down, crashing into a massive tree, and dropped through the branches to the ground.Am I dead?I let out a moan as a sharp twinge of pain shot through my arm."That confirms it," Ghost yapped angrily. "We are very much alive!"A painful hiss that sounded more like a chuckle crossed my lips as I reached for my arm."Sh*t!" I muttered, realizing that the bone had snapped in two and had broken through the skin. I will require medical attention—a doctor must realign my arm—before Ghost can heal the bone.I yanked my eyes open, seeing leaves and other d
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 116 - Insignificant deed
Alexander’s POVIt only took me a second to realize who and why I was called.Sarah stood outside the pack house, holding a body in her arms."Mate!" Ghosts howled in my mind, grabbing control of my body and mind."They found her!" I muttered in disbelief. "Emily's mother managed to find and save her."Ghost shifted, responded to Sarah's frantic cry for help, and swept through the sea of rogues.My lips released another howl that shook the air and summoned all the wolves to come to my aid.The rogues were diving toward Sarah at an incredible speed in an attempt to reach Emily; their famished expression sent shivers down my spine. Their only goal was to get hold of her and destroy her.The heads of my parents jerked in my direction. They appeared relieved for a brief moment upon witnessing me approach Sarah. My call was answered, and the groups of wolves gathered together with short, urgent howls.My parents' thoughts were audible to me while they gave their next orders.The wolves adv

Emily's POVI waited for the impact to come. I waited for the sensation of Xavier's claws tearing through my body, taking me with them.My last cry would come from that. The only scream that would ever be heard in this horrifying room.The vile, lethal expression in Xavier's wolf's eyes briefly caught my attention. My soul was deeply pierced by the coldness that resided within him.That was it!My final moments.The last seconds of my life on Earth!At least I had my mom with me.My life abruptly flashed before my eyes in those milliseconds.Do we go to a better place after we die?I regret things so much now.I should never have left the pack after I discovered Alexander to be my mate. If I had stayed and spent more time with him, it would have been better. Life is so short. He will make a wonderful father to Lex.My heart ached thinking of my unborn pup. There was no way he could be hanging on this long. My body was not strong enough, and the agony was too much.I looked up at the c
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 114 - Desperate voice
Alexander’s POVThe fighting behind the pack house was getting out of control.Luke had succeeded in releasing me from Axel's grasp. He had flung me to the side like a worthless rag doll, leaving me with an open slash back.Not only was I in terrible pain from the wound on my back, but the poison was also slowly seeping into my veins. I had to shift back into my human form to conserve energy."That is going to leave a hefty scar," Ghost hissed in agony. He was trying his best to heal us, but the process was slow and painful."Battle scars," I replied, with a playful undertone. "This pain is nothing compared to the agony we will be in should we lose our mate."A fierce roar grabbed my attention, and I shifted my gaze toward the sound.Luke's beast was roaming next to me in a protective stance, defending my broken and bleeding body. His posture looked strong and dominant, while his face was twisted with different emotions."He appears... angry," Ghost said."Too angry," I replied. "Whic

Emily's POVThe door swung open with such force that it knocked Xavier off his feet and flung him against the wall. He came crashing down on top of the table with his precious toys.A fierce growl erupted from the entrance, shaking me to my core. This was no normal werewolf at the door."You are too late!" Xavier yelled, stammering to his feet with a silver knife embedded in his side. "She will-""Over my dead body!" The familiar female voice blew some life into me.With all of my remaining strength, I lifted my eyes and looked for my rescuer."Mom?" I whispered. "You came for me?"My mother looked different. She had shifted into a dark gray, almost black Lycan wolf. She was surrounded by a gentle, warm breeze that gave her a mythological appearance as it lazily ruffled her fur. Yet her demeanor looked fearless and strong, and her aura was suffocating.My mother stalked closer to me, reaching out to the shackles around my wrists."Honey, everyone came to find you," she said in a reass
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 112 - All in vain
Alexander’s POVThe task of attacking the open area below was given to the werewolf packs. They were instructed to create a diversion to lure the rogues out, while the rest of us went around and entered the buildings.It ended up being a bloodbath.Before we even reached the pack house, rogue bodies were scattered around us, covering the surroundings in a river of blood.However, this did not halt the rogue invasion; an increasing number of rogues emerged from all available hellholes, striking from every direction.Compared to the average wolf, they were more skilled in combat."We are surrounded," Ghost grumbled, annoyed. He wasn't scared; he was just irritated that it was going to delay us getting to Emily."Head towards the pack house," my father linked. "Your mother and I will keep them off. Locate Emily and ensure her safety."I hesitated, seeing the rogues stalk closer and nip at my father's tail.That did not sit well with my father's beast, and like magic, a ray of ice materia
