I woke up feeling sore and stiff. It was as if I had regressed and was sent back several days of healing. My entire body felt bruised. There was an air of dread in the room. It was soul-crushing. I rolled over, pulling the blanket up to my chin, only to bump into a warm, hard body. Gabriel was laying on his back, staring at the ceiling wide awake. I could see the conflict in his eyes. My hand freed itself before gently rubbing his shoulder. He didn't turn to face me, but I could feel him relax a small amount. There were several minutes of silence where I had to wonder if he regretted saving me or even meeting me in the first place. Since I had come along, everything had changed for him and not all for the better. "I'm so used to waking up early and never getting a break from all the work I do every day. I don't know what to do with myself now. I've just been laying here for hours." He explained softly as if he didn't want to disturb the calm environme
I didn't get to see Gabriel much the following week. He was very busy playing catch-up from the few days he had off. Jack was competent but had not been trained to be Alpha. There were several things that he couldn't do or didn't know to do.When Jack was Beta, he had his own tasks and jobs he was busy completing every day. He didn't have time to be worried about every detail of Gabriel's daily schedule. Being thrown into the position of Alpha and not having Gabriel to talk to about it, since he was no longer authorized to handle classified information, must have been hard.The stiffness I had been feeling had progressively been getting worse, but the doctor informed me that it was due to the full moon getting closer with each passing day. Elena was suffering the same as me, but I could see her relief whenever Athena would touch her.Selfishly, I tried to visit Gabriel while he had been working. I was hoping he could ease some of my pain as well. Seeing how swam
My anger was washed away when Gabriel let out a sigh and rubbed the back of his neck. My pain did not.Another wave of agony shot through my body, and Gabriel maintained eye contact with me as he tried to help calm me. His hands sent warmth with every touch, my muscled melting beneath him. This time, it took longer for the pain to reduce to a tolerable level. I imagined this must be what it felt like to give birth, only it was my whole body contracting.When I was able to pull in my next breath, he bent forward and pressed a kiss to the top of my sweaty and matted head. "I came as soon as I could, I promise. Alpha Blake is not a very agreeable or fair man, and he did not understand why I needed to be here with you. When I went to end the call, he took it as a sign of disrespect. Jack is back at the office trying to calm him down. I promised you I would be here, and I wasn't going to let you down. I'll deal with that prick later."My chest caved in from the sudde
My eyes blinked open slowly, the muscles in my body tight and sore from the trauma they had endured. My limbs felt heavy as I lay sprawled out on the ground. Gabriel was no longer pressed against me but was now standing over me, nuzzling my head. A burst of energy went through me as I felt the excitement and love pouring from him. I lifted my head to look at his wolf, only to be greeted with a wet lick up the side of my face. Sparks traveled along my skin everywhere he touched, more intense than they had been before. 'I am so proud of you,' Gabriel's voice rang through my head as he continued to touch and rub against me. I took in a deep inhale, surprised by the new smells. One, in particular, stood out among the rest. The spice of it resembled cinnamon, but it wasn't exact. My head lifted on its own, and my nose pressed forward until it was up against the furry neck of my mate. The smell was him, and it was intoxicating. 'You did it, my love.' I p
I had a newfound level of energy when we returned home that night. I had expected to be tired after our run, but it seemed to wipe the soreness away and rejuvenate me. Though it was late, and I was sure Gabriel had to get up early in the morning, as soon as we walked through the front door Gabriel spun me around and pushed me against the hard surface. "You did so well, my mate." He whispered as he ran his nose along my jaw. "I loved seeing you running next to me." My lips parted as he slid his across my neck, finding their way to my mark. The feeling of his warm tongue sliding against the scared skin had me at a loss for words. A thud was heard in the quiet of the room as my head dropped back against the wood of the door. "You've always been so good about submitting to me." The rasp in his voice had my panties dampening instantly. I would submit to this man anytime. His fingers tightened around my hips, the tips digging into the softness I had there. My shoulder blades pressed into
I glanced over at Gabriel from my desk. He was typing away with a look of displeasure that added to the feeling of irritation radiating off of him. Sharing an office had its perks, and I could happily say that we had christened every surface in the room…multiple times. Sometimes, we just had to relieve some stress. It didn't help that he was perfection in human form. Most of the time, I ended up jumping him instead of the other way around. With all the work we had to do, it was good to let off some steam. It had taken me several months to get accustomed to all of the responsibilities that were thrust upon me in my new role. The stress of it alone was its own battle, but I did my best to stay positive and calm during the transition. He handled the council, treaties, training, and other packs. While I oversaw the budgets for the businesses we had in town and pack festivities. He didn't need to know that I would occasionally call his mom or Jack for their help a
Thank you for reading The Alpha's Girl! I hope you enjoyed Olivia and Gabriel's story as much as I loved writing it. If you would like to follow the continued events of this world, keep scrolling! The sequel, 'The Warrior's Woman', will start next! Fall in love with Parker and Kaylee's romance! Growing up, Parker had always been in love with his best friend, Kate. They were convinced they were mates and were excited to start their lives together. As the time approached for Parker to leave for training, they made a promise to stay true to each other until he returned. The last thing he expected was to come home to find the woman he loved mated to another, let alone to his own brother. His heart was broken, and he knew the only way to be happy again was to find his true mate. He searched high and low but was unsuccessful. When he had lost all hope, an unexpected turn of events brought the most powerful woman he had ever met into his life. Kaylee was taken at a young age. Her abilitie
Parker’s P.O.VDreaming of her used to be one of my favorite things to do. She was breath-taking.Kate Ryan was the most beautiful woman to ever grace the Earth. I would take down an entire army just to get the chance to have her smile at me like this every day for the rest of my life. Her short black hair and her deep brown eyes had me captivated. My fingers were locked in the silky strands as I held her close to me. Her legs were tangled with mine in the dew-covered, overgrown grass as we lay by the edge of the lake.It was too cold to swim in, but it was still beautiful and full of memories. There were so many things that I wasn't ready to say goodbye to, even if it was only temporary. Her, being at the top of my list. Having her here in our spot only made sense for this moment. She was my everything. I couldn't wait to return home and claim her as mine. My bloodline required me to attend training at the Supreme pack for three years to prepare me for the title I had been cursed

Five Months Later Kaylee's P.O.V. I let out a groan as I was thrown onto my back for the tenth time today. Parker had been so proud of how quickly I moved up through the training groups, learning how to fight and defend myself. It wasn't until I was up against him that I got to experience firsthand just how incredibly skilled and fluid Parker was. I knew that from other aspects of our relationship, but seeing him fight and sparring against him myself was a different level. 'You need to focus, love,' Parker taunted as he nipped at my butt playfully. I flinched, my wolf rolling back onto her stomach as I glared at him. Part of it wasn't even my fault. How was I supposed to not get distracted by my incredibly attractive mate touching me? 'Let's call it a day,' I said as I shook my fur free of the loose grass. My attempt to saunter up to him failed as my sore muscles made it appear more like a drunken stumble. Parker choked out a laugh before rubbing the side of his wolf up against me
Parker's P.O.V. She made me promise not to drug her again, and while I wasn't wanting to use it, I still had an injection tucked away in my pocket. Her mother was excited to see Kaylee's wolf, but it was obvious that her over-excitement was an attempt to hide her nerves and anxiety about the outcome of the change. Kaylee was a buddle of sore and delicate excitement as she bounced and stumbled into the forest earlier than she needed to. I followed behind her, my arms ready to catch her if she fell, but she would just dance out of reach and laugh before moving deeper into the trees and underbrush. "You know you're going to be a wolf and not a woodland fairy, right?" I laughed as she ran her hand across the trunk of a tree. "I know!" She glared back at me with an adorable smile. "But that's just it. I am going to be a wolf with you." I dashed forward, scooping her up into my arms as she giggled. "I can't wait to see you, run with you, and feel you. I bet you have the softest fur pos
Parker's P.O.V. Over the next week, I watched as Kaylee did her best to stand strong and smile through the discomfort, but I could feel how much pain she was in as her body prepared for the full moon. It was so much worse than last time, and while I didn't like that she was hurting, I also took it as a good thing. To me, it was a sign that her wolf was stronger this time, that she was fighting to get out and ready to meet her human. It had taken less than a week for the Blood Moon Pack to come to their verdict under their pack laws, and all five wolves, the Luna included, were sentenced to death. We stood tall in the crowd as the wolves were brought forward and placed on their knees before their pack as their crimes were read. Alpha Blake had given Kaylee a quick squeeze on one shoulder before moving forward to stand in front of the accused. The smell of silver and wolfs-bane was strong in his system, and I admired that he was strong enough to dose himself to maintain control. A wo
Kaylee's P.O.V. The trip back to the Midnight Pack was bittersweet. Everyone was tense, knowing that Alpha Gabriel would not be happy that we all went on this rescue mission without his permission. Parker made me ride on his back the way home, and his excitement was pouring from his body. I held on tightly as he dipped and dodged around trees, bucking his back up higher than he needed to when he jumped over things. He was like a puppy playing. Every time I made a noise or tightened my grip on him, he would look back at me with his tongue hanging out to the side, and a large wolfish smile stretched across his face. It was adorable, and while my heart was hurting from having to be separated from my mother again after all this time, I couldn't help but smile back at him. Anytime I had seen his wolf out, he was angry or fighting someone. But this time, he was genuinely happy. I was half tempted to tell him to just keep going past our old pack and take me far into the sunset to live a p
Kaylee's P.O.V. The sound of a throat clearing had me reluctantly pulling away from Parker. My eyes glanced over the tensely reuniting Jack and Kate, who were standing close but weren't touching, to see my father standing in the doorway. His bright green eyes and dark brown hair were so similar to the younger man standing next to him, and I sighed in relief at the sight of Oliver standing tall and unharmed. "Don't worry about me. Just focus on your mate." Oliver said as he moved toward us and dropped into one of the leather chairs to my side with the back of one of his hands across his forehead. "Your little brother was just held captive, but whatever." I rolled my eyes with a smile as I shoved his shoulder with my hand. The burn marks were gone from his neck, and the bruising had disappeared from his face. There was a small twinkle in his eye as he sent a wink my way, and I knew he was happy that everything worked out. "Kaylee?" A small voice asked from the door, and my stomach ti
Kaylee's P.O.V. When we walked through the pack land, it was extremely noticeable how different the two packs were. The Earth thrived around the Blood Moon Pack. The grass and moss on the trees were a darker green than what I had been used to seeing at the Midnight Pack, and I couldn't help but take in a deep breath of the clean air. The pack had moved so silently on the moist, plant-rich ground that, had I not seen them, I would not have realized they were even walking with us. I expected to feel some sense of panic as they surrounded us and led us through the collection of houses, but instead, I felt peace. It was something that I hadn't felt in a very long time. I eyed the large house before us with wonder as we were led inside the stone and wood-decorated building. Although, one could argue this was a castle. Surrounded by mountains on both sides, the pack house was a large three-story building where all of the offices, communal kitchen, and game rooms were, as had been expla
Parker's P.O.V. I eyed the two wolves on patrol outside of their dungeons from a distance, watching and waiting to see if they had a pattern in the way they moved and if they were alone. So far, they seemed fairly well trained. While that wasn't an issue for four of us to take on two of them, it would become an issue if they saw us. All it took was one call in their pack link, and their entire fighting force would rain down on us. We wouldn't have the time to get downstairs and unlock Oliver before their reinforcements arrived. It was a huge risk, but we had no choice. 'Scarlett, Hudson, the two of you have the guard on the south side of the entrance. Jack and I will take the one on the north. We need to stay silent and approach from behind. If they get the chance to alert the pack that we're here, it'll all be over.' I said through the pack link, making sure all three of them could hear me as I waited for each one of them to acknowledge my instructions. With confirmation that we w
Kaylee's P.O.V. It only took a minute for a large brown and silver wolf to come barreling through the crowd. He slid to a halt, sending dirt flying as his wolf reached the border. My hands shook as I finally saw my father in front of me. I had heard about him when I was little, but not often. My mother didn't like talking about him too much. She would normally excuse herself after a few minutes and go cry in her bedroom, thinking I didn't notice or hear her. He had left her pregnant with me and then ripped her heart out to go start a family with his true mate. "You're the Alpha?" I questioned, knowing the answer at the way his wolf let out a small whine in my direction. His large paw lifted from the ground before he stomped it back down as if he were trying to tell me to walk over to him. "Your son, Oliver, is currently being held by your Luna. He was collected by your wolves two hours ago at the border. We ask that you demand his release and stop the war against my people in the M
