Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 74 - Alpha fears
Emily's POVFor the remainder of the day, I had not heard from or seen Alex, and I was beginning to worry.My insides were feeling strange because Alex's emotions were seeping into our bond.Luke reassured me, saying not to worry, but I could not shake the unholy sense that something was seriously wrong.I was not sure how to put it, but at times it seemed like Alex was in excruciating pain or hurting, and at other times he was frustrated and angry, and he was making a great effort to keep his feelings outside the bond.I sighed.It was already past 3 p.m., and Luke took me down to the gym to start warming up for my fight starting at 5 p.m.My stomach started to churn, and I started to feel a little uneasy.I wasn't sure what to expect from Angelica. Even though I knew she was an Omega, I could not get rid of the unsettling feeling I had.I could not stop asking myself why she would challenge me to a duel if she knew I was stronger.What was she planning?Do I need to worry?"She is j
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 75 - Magical Wall
Alexander’s POV"Aaah! Just stop!" I yelled through the excruciating pain. "It's no use! It's not working!"My father motioned to Emily's father, the former Beta, to release me, and his mate, Sarah, released the side of my head and hurried away from me.Sarah did not appear to be enjoying this at all, as I could see in her eyes.With a frustrated sigh, my father stepped away from me and ran his hands through his gray hair. He was now running out of ideas."Son, if you keep insisting that we stop, we will not break through the conjuration. The magic that holds the memory seems to be much stronger than we thought," my father said, turning back to face me.Old magic was used to lock the memory, and whoever did it knew exactly what they were doing. No one knows how to free the memory, and they are now grasping at straws.In the last few hours, we tried to break through a concrete wall to see what was on the other side.I looked at Basilia, who was sitting in the chair quietly watching us,
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 76 – Duel
Emily's POVCurious pack members flocked to the stadium, all eager to see today's duel."It seems like the word spread like wildfire about today," muttered an irate Willow. "I wonder who they are going to support.""That is what you get, I suppose, when someone says they are the pack's chosen future Luna," I snapped back.The crowd fell silent as the sound of a wolf's cry reverberated throughout the boisterous stadium. Everyone turned to face Alex and the council, who were seated in the ranked area.It hurt a little that Alex did not even try to visit me before the duel."Maybe he doesn't want to distract you," Willow said sadly.I glanced over to where he was sitting; he appeared somewhat worn out. His eyes appeared dim, as though they had lost their glimmer, and his face was flushed."I don't think it's because of that," I said. "He appears ill."Alpha Colt rose from his seat and made his way over to the podium.Will he be doing the opening and announcements?"Wolves, she-wolves, pu
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 77 - Let me have a bite at her!
Emily's POVWe had been going at this fight for more than an hour, and I was starting to become exhausted and annoyed.Angelica's wolf had endurance that I didn't imagine an omega wolf could have.Even though I was planning to just tire her out without breaking a sweat, she was now the one who was giving me a run for my money."She is using magic to help her," Willow growled, pissed. "Let me have a bite at her!""Why don't you just block her magic off?" I snapped out of breath. "The same way you made sure Paul couldn't shift."Every time I tried to bring Angelica's wolf down, she was able to get away from my grasp. She was much faster than an omega wolf and could even give a fully trained warrior wolf a run for its money.I sighed, frustrated, balling my hands into fists. I didn't want to hurt her; I just needed to humiliate her to get her off our backs so that she could leave me and Alex alone."I tried that," Willow growled. "She is using external magic to block my abilities.""What
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 78 - I submit!
Alexander’s POV For a brief moment, everything seemed to slow down around us.Lex let out a spine-tingling cry. I looked up to see what he was staring at, then grabbed him to keep him from seeing what was about to happen to his mother.With strength beyond belief for a five-year-old, Lex attempted to escape from my hold and return to his mother. Just in time, I was able to grab hold of him and turn his little face away from the scene."Lex, close your eyes," I commanded. "Don't look."Even though Lex's eyes revealed his true feelings, he trusted me enough to follow my instructions.The screams of the pack members reverberated throughout the stadium as I drew Lex nearer, cradling his tiny head against my chest and clinging to him for dear life in an attempt to protect him from the impending horror.Under my grip, Lex shivered visibly. Thinking that it might be the noise, I cupped my hands over his ears in an attempt to drown out the sounds.I glanced over in time to witness Angelica's
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 79 - One good reason
Emily's POVI was pacing up and down my room, enraged by what had just happened.How in the world did Lex get here?Where the f*ck was Mila?I let out a roar that rattled the windows in the bedroom. I needed to get all this anger out of me, or I would explode!"Calm down!" Willow said. "It is not going to help to get...""Upset?" I snapped. "Are you f*cking serious? Lex was at the duel; he saw me fighting! I lost because I took my eyes off my opponent, and now..."I was out of breath and panting.How the f*ck did this happen?My gaze snapped toward the door before the knock sounded at the door."Yes!" I barked."Luna," Luke called calmly. "I located Mila. She is in Alpha Alex's office, waiting for you."I grabbed the door handle, threw it open, let it crash against the wall, and ran out the front door down the hall before Luke had finished talking.I was in Alex's office in less than two seconds, my claws securely around Mila's throat."Please give me one solid reason not to break you
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 80 – Sai
Alexander’s POV"Lex is safe," I said. "He's with Sasha.""Are you f*cking serious right now?" Emily spat in rage. "How dare you leave my son with someone he doesn't know?""Stop worrying, Emily," I said, my expression contorting with annoyance. "I will not ever leave Lex with someone I do not trust or with whom he does not feel at ease.""He's a pup, Alex!" Emily freaked out. "He doesn't know Sasha.""He seemed very familiar with her," I said, taking her hands and directing her to a couch."What do you mean by that?" Emily growled.Emily's behavior was unlike anything I had ever seen. Was she acting unusually emotional because she had lost to Angelica, or was this because of Lex?"I think a bit of both," Ghost answered. Emily's erratic behavior and sudden outbursts surprised him as well.Luke left the room to go get Sasha to bring Lex to my office when I gave him the signal."Sit," I ordered Emily, and she complied without arguing.Sitting on the little coffee table across from her,
Tango with the Alpha's Heart Chapter 81 - I don't belong to you!
Emily's POVIt was raining this morning, and the icy wind and heavy downpour added to the somber feeling inside my chest.I tried my best not to let things get to me, but early this morning I snuck into my parents' house. Eventually, I gave up trying to stay strong and let myself cry."Mommy," Lex called, sitting on the bed. "Are you feeling ill?"Sasha brought the sleeping Lex to me about an hour ago. She will follow us to the White Moon Pack in a day or two.I wiped my eyes and sat next to him on the bed."Mommy is fine," I lied, wiping another stray tear from my face. "My allergies are just playing up."Lex knitted his sleeping eyes together as if he were checking if I was lying, nodded a moment later, and didn't ask any more questions about my red and swollen eyes."Are we leaving?" He asked, seeing the bag sitting at the foot of the bed."We are," I replied. "There is nothing left for me here.""Just our mate," Willow howled sadly in my mind. She felt that we ought to challenge A

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

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

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
