Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 41 - My mommy calls me Lex
Alexander’s POV I left for my quarters, running up the stairs three steps at a time—the perk of having long legs. I refused to take the lift, believing it would waste time. Adrenaline and excitement filled my insides and spilled over. The council gave me an hour to attend to my small issue—just enough time to help Emily out of her predicament. "Goddess," I mumbled. "I hope I wasn't too late! I don't like Emily being in pain." I passed a couple of curious gazes, seeing me rushing down the hallway. The omegas were done with their daily tasks: cleaning the rank wolf rooms and returning to their duties in the kitchen. They weren't allowed in my quarters unsupervised. It wasn't because I didn't trust them to do their chores. It was because I didn't want anyone to enter Emily's room without permission. Once a week, Luke would bring a group of five omegas to my quarters, watching them as she tidied up the place. Emily's scent hit my nose, and my heartbeat escalated. I was almost the

Emily's POV "What the hell are you doing in here?" Alex roared, his stormy gray eyes hard and full of anger. I took an unwilling step back, unsure what to do. I didn't know that he would feel so possessive and angry about me being in his office. "I-" I stuttered nervously. I knew I had disobeyed him, but I just couldn't ignore Lex and not say goodbye to him. He is my son, and I needed to see him. I already felt that I had neglected him by leaving him in Mila's care. "I asked her the same question!" Angelica said, getting to her feet with a sinister smile plastered on her lips. She looked at me with disgust as she walked toward Alex. "You should call the guards and have this worthless girl arrested. She used your office as a meet-and-greet area for her family," Angelica continued. "Who does that? And that in an Alpha’s office? She looks more like a scullery maid than a pack warrior. You should check her pockets; she might have stolen some pack secrets while here. It is a good th

Emily's POV I was in heat for three freaking days. Three days! I wasn't impressed, but it seemed to be over now. Alex stayed with me, locking the door to ensure no one could enter unexpectedly. He made sure to feed me, and Julie was our chef. I licked my lips, thinking of all the beautiful and delicious food she had made for us. Now that my heat is over, I can focus and think more clearly. I sighed. Something was still occupying Alex's attention. He even sneaked off in the early hours last night, and I was pondering whether to ask him what was going on. During my heat, Alex refused to go all the way and mate with me. It surprised me; I was then certain that something was bothering him. My thoughts raced back to that evening. Alex had carried me back to his quarters and sat me on my bed. If I had my way, I would have had him f*ck me in his office, but Alex had other ideas. He smiled down at me as he helped me out of my shirt and pants. Then he squatted to my level, taking b
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 44 - Is Lex mine?
Alexander’s POV I was testing the waters, and I was about to rock the boat hard. I wanted to see Emily's reaction when she found out about my knowing about Lex. I already concluded that Lex was my son and the future Alpha of this pack, but I needed to hear it from Emily herself. Luke caught me going through some old pack files in my office the night before. I couldn't sleep until I had proof, and my thoughts wandered off too early this morning. "Don't you bloody knock?" I growled at him, startled, and grabbed my chest. I was so focused on what I was doing that I didn't hear Luke enter my office. The next moment, he stood next to me like a phantom from the night. "Not when my Alpha is digging in the archives in the middle of the night while his mate is soundly sleeping upstairs," he said, rolling his eyes. "What are you looking for? Maybe I could be of some assistance." That was the question that has been bugging me throughout the whole process—what was I looking for? I wasn't

Emily's POV"I think this is a better color," I said, handing Alex a deep blue bedspread and matching linen."Will it make my eyes pop?" He asked, putting it against his chest and fluttering his eyelashes. I chuckled at his playfulness."It is bedding, not clothing!" I said, laughing.Alex rolled his eyes at me, yet he placed the bedding in the trolley.We had come to town to replace everything in Alex's room. He wanted to have Luke order everything online, but I insisted—to Alex's annoyance.I guess he was a typical male, not enjoying the wonders of shopping—not that I was particularly fond of going shopping, but I did have my moments."What do you think of these?" I said, gesturing to the off-white curtains hanging on the display.Alex released a depressing sigh behind me, and I turned to look at him."Don't you like it?" I asked."Emily, it's not that," he said, his face twisted. "I don't mind the color or anything you buy. It will look perfect; I am sure of it.""Then why the long
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 46 - Old Lycan magic
Emily's POV "Where are we going?" I asked, seeing Luke drive past the turn-off toward the Opal pack. "You will see," Alex said, keeping his eyes on the road. I frowned but didn't ask any more questions and sat back, folding my arms around my waist and looking out the window. We had driven out of the city, and before long, Luke took a turn off on a dirt road. That spiked my interest, and I sat upright, looking out the window. Huge trees suddenly surrounded us and spread down the road. "Now I am really curious about where we are going," I said, sitting back with my eyes on the road. "We will be there in less than an hour," Luke said, looking back at me through the rearview mirror. "Where is there?" I asked. "Did you two decide to kidnap me?" Alex chuckled at my response, shaking his head and looking toward Luke. Luke nodded and smiled. "That's rude, you know," I huffed, gesturing between them. "Where are we being rude?" Luke said, taken aback. "We didn't say or do anything.
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 47 - Welcome home!
Alexander’s POV"Did you announce our arrival?" I linked Luke."I have," he replied. "The priestesses are excited about seeing you.""Good," I replied. "We are here.""You know what to do!" he said.I could almost feel Luke's excitement over the link; he had gone to warn the priestess of our arrival.I left Emily's side and stood aside, letting Ghost take over to do the shift.Ghost understood, and seconds later I was standing in my Lycan form, throwing my head back, and howling.The huge doors of the temple opened, and Luke made his way out, stopping a few feet from the exit."Luna," he said. "The only way you will be able to enter the temple is to shift into your Lycan beast."Emily's gaze moved to me."There isn't anyone close by," I said. "These woods are protected. So is the temple. Only pure blood can enter.""But why can't I enter in human form?" She asked. "I am full-blooded."Luke smiled, and his gaze met mine."Because the protection spell wouldn't let a human enter," he sai
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 48 - Sneaking out
Emily's POV"Race you to the top!" Luke yelled out, shifted into his brown and gray wolf, and started sprinting up the path we came from.We just exited the temple after spending most of the day there, yet outside, it didn't look a few minutes later than the time we entered the temple.Alex turned to face me, his eyes shifting between black and gray, and they were pleading. His wolf was on the surface; he couldn't resist such a challenge; he wanted to show off his strength and speed."Sure, go ahead," I said, chuckling. I couldn't help but find his puppy's eyes adorable. "I'll see you at the top!""Are you sure?" He asked, surprised."Yeah," I replied. "Go show Luke you are still the Alpha of this pack!""You are the best!" He said, kissing me on the forehead, then turned and shifted into a beautiful black wolf.The wolf turned his huge head toward me and quickly nodded—I caught a glimpse of his light blue, almost white, icy eyes—before he sprinted off."No wonder his name is Ghost,"

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

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

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

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
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 115 - A howl so beautiful
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

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

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
