Alexander’s POV"Why the hell did you come here?" Angelica's screeching voice filled the quiet surroundings. She appeared quite distressed upon seeing the figure watching the waters from the riverbank.After tailing her through the forest, I was shocked to discover that she knew exactly where she wanted to go. A few yards away, someone was waiting for her.I could not help but feel that she was familiar with this place.Does she know the Royal Pack?Was she part of it?"I couldn't go another day without seeing you," the familiar voice answered. "It's been too long...""Do you know who Angelica is talking to?" Emily linked me, keeping her eyes pinned on the two figures standing in the dark.We found a good hiding place behind a large boulder, a short distance from the figure and Angelica's position.We had additional cover from a massive bush that was growing in front of the boulder."That sounds like someone we know," Ghost growled, spiking my interest."I can't say for sure," I repli
Emily's POVThe screeching sound of the alarm clock on the bedside table wasn't the thing that woke me this morning, but the soft and peaceful snoring of Alex next to me. He had managed to find a way to sneak out of the pack house unseen last night and surprised me by waiting for me in my office.I still had so many unanswered questions about last night, and I wished I had all the answers.My mind kept on replaying Axel's toxic words: "If it wasn't for that middling mate of his, Alex would have been dead by now!"What did he mean by that?Did Axel try to do something to Alex?My mind raced back, trying to remember if there was anything more Angelic and Axel said about Alex, but all I could remember was the conversation that followed thereafter."Is everything prepared?" Angelica asked.Axel nodded."Everything is arranged," he said. "The warriors have been divided into two groups. They will cover more ground that way tomorrow night.""Are you sure?" Angelica asked, her eyes widening.
Alexander’s POV"Where the hell have you been?" Angelica yelled angrily at me as I entered the room. I rolled my eyes, internally burning, to ask her the same question.
Alexander’s POV"Alphas, welcome to today's lesson." Emily's voice traveled over the training area, and everyone's gazes turned to her.Wolf whistling erupted as she slowly emerged onto the small platform, spiking jealousy, possessiveness and anger in me.I balled my fist and hissed under my breath. I couldn't believe she would do this to me—how dare she dress so revealingly! Doesn't she know I will tear everyone apart looking at her.My gaze traveled over her beautiful, curved body, drinking her in. She looked sexy! Way too sexy to walk around between hundreds of hungry and unmated wolves!Emily had tied her long brown hair into a high ponytail and was wearing a white, low-cut V-neck shirt, exposing her perky round breast. Her firm round bottle butt and curves were flaunted by her black leather tights, which seemed to fit like a second skin. To complete the look, she wore black four-inch combat boots, ending a
Emily's POVI have never seen any wolf take down an Alpha that quickly. It was incredible and flawless.In less than two seconds, Alex was shifted into his black beast and took down the Alpha Wolf. Power radiated from him, and I welcomed the feeling that made me gasp."Our mate is powerful," Willow purred. "More than you think...""Yes," I agreed. "But he still failed the test.""Who gives a sh*t about your test?" She huffed, annoyed. "He was great! He protected us from that wolf!""I do," I said, turning my attention back to the group. "I was in no danger; the warriors were standing ready to take him down!"Willow huffed, rolling her eyes. She didn't like this test."They would never have been so quick as Alex," she hissed, got to her paws, and stalked off.My gaze fell on Alex; he had shifted back, and Luke had given him a pair of spare pants. His brown, tanned body was deliciously glittering
Emily's POV"This can't be accurate," I mumbled in disbelief.
Alexander’s POV"You will not be joining us tonight!" I said. "You need to stay here!"Emily was waiting for us, fully armored, at the edge of the White Moon Pack. Now that I knew she was pregnant, there was no way I would allow her to travel with us, even though she looked amazing and strong in her gear. I would never forgive myself if something happened to her and the pup while she was under my protection."Alex!" Emily growled. The anger in the way she said my name smelled like poison in the air. "I am pregnant, not disabled. You cannot make me stay!"Ghost whimpered; he didn't like Emily getting upset at us, and it wasn't healthy for her and our unborn pup."Yes, I can!" I yelled, "I am your Alpha and mate. I care about the safety of both you and our unborn pup! You will not leave the safety of the pack territory! Besides, you have been busy with training the whole day. You appear worn out. Spend some quality time with Lex. Take it easy and get some rest. We will be back sooner th
Emily's POV"Emily!" Alex called behind me, but I increased my speed.I couldn't believe he wouldn't let me participate in his little adventure. Not that it bothered me; I had something else planned for tonight. This was a blessing in disguise.Alex's voice died off. He must have given up and crossed the border with his father.I sighed, relieved, and went at a slower pace."Where to?" Willow asked."Jax is waiting for us at the border with the car," I said, and Willow sprinted in that direction.Jax must have heard me coming; he turned his gaze to the direction of the forest, picked up a bag, carried it to a nearby tree, and set it down."Evening, Parker," he said, and he moved away.Willow yapped, thanking him, grabbing the bag, and carrying it behind the tree.I quickly shifted and opened the bag.I groaned when I lifted the short black cocktail dress from the bag. It shimmered under the moonlight and was gorgeous, but the front of the dress was cut way too low for my liking."Seri
