Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 51 - He agrees
Alexander’s POV"Alpha?" Luke called, shaking my arm lightly."What?" I asked, looking up confusedly at Luke. "Sorry, what did you say?"Emily's frightened face was distracting me. I didn't mean to lose control and scare her; I was just so frustrated with everything that was going on."The council said they were ready," Luke said, a teasing smile playing on the corners of his lips. "They asked if the accused could be brought forward.""Oh," I said. "Yes, very well."Luke turned his head and gestured to the warriors to bring Michael forward.I sighed, feeling mentally and physically tired. "Maybe you should get a decent night's rest," Ghost said.He has been with me the whole day, silently observing."Do you think it would help?" I asked. "With everything that is happening, the chance that I would get some proper shut-eye would be scarce.""I know you are worried about Emily packing up and disappearing," Ghost said. "But we know her life is at White Moon Pack; finding her would now be
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 52 - Struggling to accept
Emily's POV"Emily, is that you?" A familiar female's voice brought me to a standstill, and I hesitated to turn around.I wasn't in the mood for socializing—not after I had just witnessed a brutal execution.It all happened so fast. One second later, Alex was still processing what I was saying, and the next, he stood panting out of breath with Michael's throat in his claws.Choking sounds came from Michael, trying to breathe, but less than ten seconds later he collapsed against the pole.Alex threw the flesh he had in his claws at Michael in disgust and turned to address his pack.I could feel Alex expanding his ice-cold aura and traveling toward the pack members.One by one, the pack members dropped their heads, shivering and unable to look at him."Let this serve as a warning," he said, his gaze moving among his pack members. "I will not tolerate such behavior, am I clear?""Yes, Alpha." It came as one man from the pack, sending an unnerving shiver down my spine.Alex turned to face
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 53 - Scared sh*tless
Alexander’s POVI was shaking like a leaf with my phone in my hand, worried."Do it!" Ghost mused. "You have nothing to lose!""It's-""No, it is!" Ghost cut me off. "Just phone the girl!"My heart was racing a thousand miles per hour, making me sweat under my collar—this felt worse than asking Emily to dance!"Should I take charge?" Ghost suggested."N-no-no!" I muttered, trying to push my nerves aside.I took a long and deep breath, closing my eyes and forcing my racing heart to calm."Feeling better?" Ghost asked, concerned."Sure," I said, looking at the phone in my hand.I quickly dialed Mila's number, waiting for it to ring."Mila's phone," a husky voice answered after the second ring.I paused, startled, to hear him answering the phone.What do I do now?"What's Mila's name again?"It was on the tip of my tongue, but I just couldn't remember. I remember him coming from a neighborhood pack."James?" Ghost asked."No, it is not that!" I said."Jeremy? James? Max?" Ghost said."No
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 54 - My wolf is fond of yours
Emily's POVA surprised giggle escaped my lips when I entered my bedroom. A huge bouquet of roses stood lovely and proudly on my dresser. There were more or less fifty white roses, with a single red embedded in the center of the huge bouquet.They were absolutely stunning, and I could help but smile out of appreciation."Ah," Luke's voice came from behind me, startling me. I guess he must have heard me giggle and came to see what made me so happy and excited."I see you found your little surprise," he said lazily, lying against the door frame."You knew about this?" I asked, surprised.Luke nodded."How did Alex manage to get hold of so many?" I asked, lifting a small card from the flowers. "It is not rose season.""Alpha has his ways," Luke said, smiling.I turned the card around, reading the neat handwriting on the back."I'm sorry," the card read. "Will you forgive me?""What's this all about?" I asked, waving the card in the air.Luke sighed and shifted his weight to both his feet
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 55 - What I have planned
Alexander’s POVI was nervously waiting in the foyer for Emily. I was already showered and dressed and was fiddling anxiously with my tie.I had a bunch of butterflies in my stomach, which I couldn't get rid of, and my gaze kept on jumping to my watch. 7 p.m.—it was time."She is taking the stairs," Luke suddenly said next to me.My gaze moved toward the stairs, and it was as if at that very moment everything slowed when Emily came into sight.My heart jumped into my throat, the butterflies became even more active inside my belly, and my emotions internally spiraled out of control. I couldn't focus; I was happy, angry, and even jealous at the same time.One thing was for sure: tonight, no one should even dare look at my mate! She is MINE!"She looks stunning," Ghost chirped, appreciating the sight. "I haven't seen such a pretty woman before.""Beautiful," I corrected in awe, cutting Ghost off. "She looks beautiful in that dress!"I agree," Ghost said. "Like a real Luna!"The dress Lu
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 56 - Business Deal
Emily's POVThe drive to the city was quiet, yet the sexual tension in the back seat of the SUV with Alex sitting next to me didn't go unnoticed.Alex was holding my hand and was silently playing with my fingers, leaving a trail of sparks everywhere his fingers touched. His intoxicating scent had wrapped me in something that felt like a blanket, creating my own cocoon and making me feel all fuzzy and warm inside.This was heaven. I felt so relaxed and happy being with Alex.Luke was driving, and he constantly glanced back in the rear mirror at us.Was he checking up on us?He had this cocky smirk on his lips, which made me feel like he was looking right through me.What was he up to?What did he know?Why was he helping Alex?Was it his duty to his Alpha or did it go deeper?Luke took a turn-off just outside the city, and the board next to the road indicated that we were going to some warehouse."I thought you said we were having dinner in the city," I asked."We are," Alex said. "But
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 57 - Self-Control
Alexander’s POV "So?" I asked, sitting back in the restaurant chair. "What is your favorite color?" We had just finished our main course and were waiting for our desserts. "Red," Emily said, tapping her fingers on the table. I wasn't sure if she had become bored or if something else was bothering her, but I did notice her playfulness drying up the second we stopped at the warehouse outside the city. We were not supposed to stop there first, but Luke insisted—or else the business transaction couldn't be done on time. "Mmm," Ghost muttered. "The color of fire. It suits her." "Just plain red?" I asked. "Or a deep red?" "More like a dark ruby red," she answered, finding my gaze. "What about you?" "It's hard to say," I said with a crooked smile. "It was always blue, but these days it's rose-red." "Interesting," Emily said. "And a particular reason why?" "Your intoxicated scent," I said without thinking, and my face heated up in embarrassment. Emily's face was twisted in disbeli
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 58 - May I kiss you?
Emily's POVAlex's dance moves were inspiring to watch, and every time I thought he couldn't top off a specific move, he proved me wrong."Are you getting tired, Miss Parker?" Alex asked, with a teasing smile playing at the corners of his lips.I was dying to taste those lips!Wait, what? Did he call me Parker?"No," I said, feeling my breath race. "I still have a lot in me."Alex laughed and twirled me around, then pulled me back into his chest.Our eyes met, and small little devils were dancing in his gray eyes. He looked happy and relaxed, with a pinch of playfulness."I am surprised that you are keeping up with me," he said seriously. "Not many can."If only he knew how many hours I had put into dancing.I never stopped practicing when I fell in love with dancing.My parents allowed me to take after-school dance classes, and when I left Opal Pack, Xavier introduced me to a private dance teacher, Herold Henderson.Herold served on the council at White Moon Pack. He was a well-known

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
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
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 117 - Aware of Xavier's plans
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
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
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
