Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 62 - Why I am here
Alexander’s POV"Something about these invoices doesn't make sense," Emily said, slamming the paperwork down on my desk with force. "I have been over these numbers a hundred times, and it still doesn't balance back."I rose from behind my desk and went around the table."Calm down," I said, sensing her frustration over the bond, and I tenderly rubbed her arm and gave her a soft smile, hoping it would calm her down. "Angelica might have made a typing error when she captured the documentation..."I bit my tongue when Emily looked up. Hearing Angelica's name, jealousy and annoyance flared in her blue eyes.I internally chuckled, finding it amusing.It was hard to control our emotions with our newfound bond, and Angelica had made it clear that she wanted a mate with me, so I could not blame Emily for acting jealous.A dreamy smile appeared on my lips as my thoughts quickly returned to this morning when we finalized the bond.I was excited when Emily suggested we finish the bond, but I nev
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 63 – Informant
Emily's POV"I am not in a position to discuss or reveal any part of the investigation," I said, feeling a knot form in my throat. "I can only tell you that the pack is under investigation.""Can't or won't?" Alex asked, his hands balled into fists, and his face turned hard and cold. The surrounding temperature started to shift, and I shivered, feeling cold.Willow came closer, her gaze pinned on Alex."You sure know how to piss off an Alpha," she chirped. "Just tell him.""Can't," I said, answering both of them, dropping my gaze to my hands, and sighed."I am your mate, Emily!" Alex roared, the coldness in his voice touching my inner core. "I have the right to know why you are investigating my pack and what evidence you have!""I know," I said, searching his gaze. This was hard for me too, but I was under orders—orders I cannot ignore.Alex narrowed his eyes, and for a second, he just looked at me.Was he trying to get a read on me?When he couldn't read me, I could feel him tapping

Alexander’s POV"I think you are overreacting." The familiar, husky voice of my father rang in my ears.My gaze snapped at the cottage entrance, where he stood with his arms folded around his bare chest. He must have traveled in wolf form; water droplets were running down the side of his face, and his bare chest was gleaming in the sun.My eyes met his; he appeared somewhat concerned but not irate or upset."How did you know where to find me?" I asked, feeling emotionally exhausted.I left the hallway leading to the exit in ruins. I tore items from the walls, shattered them on the ground, and destroyed everything in my path until I was outside.I was losing the battle against my temper, and I wasn't sure what to do!"I need to get out of here!" I muttered to myself when I reached the exit. I had never before become that uncontrollably agitated. This was not me!In an attempt to release some steam, I shifted and shot, like an arrow, toward the forest.Things were spiraling out of my co
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 65 - Was Alex home?
Emily's POVI could feel Alex's emotions spiraling out of control and spilling over the bond.He wasn't well, and as much as I wanted to go to him and comfort him, I knew that leaving him alone would be the best."He will come to you," Willow said. "Alpha Colt is with him.""Alpha Colt?" I asked, feeling a bit relieved."Yeah," she said. "He saw what Alex did in the hallway and followed him. They are having a chat in the cottage."My gaze snapped in the direction of the cottage. I had been there only once, yet I knew how to get there.It surprised me to know that Alex still used the cottage as a hideout when he was upset and angry. I did the same thing, spending hours sitting by the river and staring at the water. It was my safe haven.I sighed, my mood dark and melancholy.I was unable to continue working in the office. I went to expect the damage when the hallway quieted down, and it devastated me.Not knowing how serious the situation was, I just took off and ended up where I used
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 66 - My lips are sealed
Alexander’s POV"Isn't the weather wonderful?" My mother's voice rang in my ears as she hooked her arm around mine."Evening Mother," I said, looking down at the pitied blond woman hooked on my arm.She had the same silver eyes as me, and the reflection of the bonfire flames was glittering in them. "Have you decided to join tonight's festivities?"I was surprised to see her here tonight; something must have aroused her to join."I haven't been to one of these festivities for ages, and I wouldn't miss this one for the world," she said, lifting a perfect eyebrow. "I heard that a certain someone had been marked and mated. I hope to become a grandmother soon."If only she knew she was a grandmother already! I could just imagine her spoiling Lex, and that thought warmed my heart.I internally sighed and looked toward my father, who was talking to some of the council members. I tried to keep the marking low-profile, but he must have spilled the beans to my mother."Don't look so concerned,"

Emily's POV"Evening Luna!" Sasha sang as she entered my room. She had a broad smile on her lips and was shaking her hips as she moved around me. She came to do my hair and make-up— obviously Luke's doing.Sasha twirled around me, grabbing my brush, and I couldn't help but chuckle at her enthusiasm."Evening Sasha," I said, "you seem happy about something."Sasha stopped what she was doing and giggled like a teenager having her crush talk to her."Sorry, Luna," she said, trying hard not to let another giggle escape. "But I think I am in love.""Oh?" I replied. That was good news. She needed someone who would accept her for who she was."I-I-I found my mate earlier. He is such a handsome beast. He has those big, dreamy brown eyes, dark, long, curly hair, and muscles to die for. He is the beta from the Blue Moon Pack." Her green eyes glittered like stars for a moment and then suddenly stopped.Her breathing started to race, and I could hear her heart escalate in her chest; it looked lik

Emily's POV"You look nice," my mother chirped when she saw me coming toward the bonfire. "Are you feeling better?""Thanks; I'm fine," I said, giving her a reassuring smile. "Nothing a long hot bath couldn't fix.""That's good news," she said, patting my hand. "I was worried that you would disappear again."The worry in my mother's eyes was visible, and it broke my heart."As if I would be able to get very far," I said, trying to lighten the mood. "I am done running!"Well, at least for now.I internally sighed.My mother knew me all too well; the thought of running off again did cross my mind earlier, but Alex would make it his life's mission to find me again."That's good news," my father suddenly said. "Will you be returning permanently?"Permanently.I haven't thought about it yet.Was I ready to return?I did decide to stay.Not just because I wanted Lex to meet his father and decide if he wanted him in his life, but because I wanted to give Alex and me a chance too.I took a de

Alexander’s POVEmily was left on her own after Beta John and his mate departed for the festival opening. A group of young she-wolves had surrounded Emily, and she looked annoyed while standing stranded in the center.I went forward, curious to know what was happening."Don't," Ghost warned. "Emily can handle herself. Don't intrude.""She is still my mate," I argued. "And I need to protect her.""Protect her from what?" Ghost asked. "Herself?"I huffed, rolling my eyes, annoyed at Ghost."No," I said. "I do not like how those she-wolves are staring at her.""She'll be fine," Ghost yapped. "Now leave her alone!""But...""Alex," Ghost growled, cutting me off. "Listen to me! Leave Emily alone. You have caused enough harm in a single day!""What's going on?" Luke asked. He must have sensed how frustrated I was."Well..." I faltered."Don't you dare!" Ghost gave me a warning growl."I see Sasha has gathered a group to witness her shift," Luke remarked, and I quickly turned my attention ba

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

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
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
