The Alpha's Human Mate Chapter 9
Azalea The hefty book I had discovered earlier was lying on my lap as I sat cross-legged on the floor of the room Gray had tossed me into. It was hard to read in the low light, but I didn't mind. Each page seemed like a jigsaw piece, a connection to a history I could not comprehend. My fingertips traced the handwritten notes scribbled in the margins, the fading ink, the complex figures. This was not only a document documenting the mate relationship. This provided insight into my mother's life.I was challenged by the symbol on the cover, which was the identical one I had seen throughout Gray's test. I had a nagging suspicion that this was more than a coincidence. I was only starting to discover the ways in which my mother had been connected to the werewolf community. And I was in the middle of it all now, somehow.The book's annotations discussed ties, power dynamics, and control between partners. There were allusions to the "Elder Bond," a bond that was deeper and older than the coe

Azalea Gray's fortress was oppressively tense. With harsh, inscrutable gaze, the wolves moved deliberately. I was still in the dark, but it was obvious that something significant was in the works. Since the ambush, Gray's confidence seemed unwavering, and he had become more merciless than before. That simply increased the urgency of my task.I required an ally, someone who could guide me across this pack's perilous terrain. However, it appeared hard to find someone who would oppose Gray. till I got to know Mara.One of Gray's lesser-ranking wolves, Mara was frequently disregarded and ignored. She was a silent apparition that moved like a ghost through the darkness. During the exam Gray had made me take, I had observed her observing me with calculating and keen eyes. I didn't really trust her, but I had to take the chance out of desperation.I snuck away one evening as the group assembled for one of Gray's announcements. Near the edge of the clearing, I discovered Mara sitting with h

August As I walked into the hall, I felt the pressure of the pack's gazes. There was a heavy, uncomfortable stillness as the conversations slowed. My wolves—my family, my duty—gazed at me with a combination of skepticism and annoyance. Every time I called a meeting recently, it was the same. I could see that their trust was eroding by the way they avoided looking at me.I inhaled deeply before making my way to the head of the long table. The slight throb of the mate link in my chest served as a continual reminder of Azalea's suffering and absence. I tried to concentrate by clenching my hands, but her anguish was always my pain.I said, my voice firm despite the rage screaming within me, "We need to talk about Gray." He is becoming increasingly methodical in his motions. He is attacking our supply lines and our scouts. He will take the upper hand if we do nothing.Marcus, one of my betas, leaned forward with a frown on his face. With a harsh tone, he said, "And what about Azalea?" "Ho

August Long after Simon had left, the consequences of his treachery continued to weigh heavily. The severity of the problem weighed heavily on me as I sat in my office and stared at the map that was stretched out across my desk. Gray was not only vying for dominance; he was destroying my group and taking advantage of flaws I was unaware of.Marcus walked in silently, his feet tentative. Even his confidence appeared rattled, even though he had been my closest companion for years and the one wolf I could always rely on. With his arms folded over his chest, he paused close to the desk.He broke the stillness with, "August, we need a plan." "Gray won't give up until he has destroyed us."I nodded as the mate bond's well-known pull pulled at my chest. Every second we wasted felt like another failure since Azalea was still out there and still in danger. However, it was not an option to charge in blindly. I couldn't afford to make another mistake because Gray had already shown that he was t

Azalea A chill hung in the air of the room with only indistinct light to see by. Shadows stretched against the stone walls, and not a sound broke the silence. The heavy air in Gray’s fortress always pressed down hard, but today, something seemed off. The tiny spark of hope I was holding onto seemed just a bit more alive.By sheer chance, I found a secret passageway. I was tucking away the journal I'd discovered under my room's loose floorboards when my fingers brushed up against something strange. It was a tiny hidden latch in the wood. I let curiosity win and I eased it open with care.I flipped up the floorboard and a dark skinny passage popped up. Damp soil smells smacked me in the face making me pause. Was this a fresh trick from Gray, or a real shot at freedom?Gazing into the gap, my pulse thumped wild. It ran on farther than my eyes could track, but a tiny twinkle of moonbeam deep down whispered it might spill out into the open. In what felt like forever, a flicker of hope war

August It was a very cold morning, and all around, the woods were quiet. My search pack grouped up looking pretty serious all ready for me to tell them what to do. We'd been gearing up for this big moment for a while now yet with it staring us down, I had this heavy feeling about the tough stuff coming our way.In my heart, I kept feeling this weak throb that kept reminding me Azalea wasn’t nearby. It was brutal, not just the hurt but the big gap of us being apart – this empty feeling that just wouldn’t buzz off. Every single time I'd shut my eyes there she was, and it was hardcore torture thinking about the nasty stuff she might be dealing with."I'm moving fast," I declared, keeping my cool even though I was all churned up inside. "Gray guards his land tight, but if we nail the plan, no one sees us. This shot to get Azalea back? Gotta make it count."The wolf pack gave me firm nods, faces all serious yet full of resolve. Marcus came to stand by my side eyeballing me with worry. "Al

Azalea The room's air pressed down like a heavy weight. I balanced at the bed's edge, my fingers twisting. There was a sound of footsteps coming from outside my door; my heart skipped. I had to keep my next move a secret.The quiet got interrupted by a soft tap making me hop up quickly. Mara sneaked in as the door gave a creak glancing around swift-like. In her grip was a little paper, her actions all swift and tight."Shut it," she breathed out, her words almost lost.I followed orders and closed the door real quiet-like. Mara spun around to look at me with this serious look on her face. She goes, "This is to get to August," as she hands me the sheet. "I've collected all I could on Gray's schemes and where his defenses ain't too tough."Grabbing that sheet, my hands were all shaky. "How's August gonna get his hands on this?" I wondered out loud, voice all .A kinder look crossed Mara's eyes, but she didn't lose any of that steel in her voice. "Drop some hints," she instructed. "Tag

Azalea My head snapped to the side as Gray's fingers stung fiercely over my face. The room whirled for a second as pain shot up my cheek. In order to contain my tears, I bit the inside of my cheek. He desired for me to shatter and fall apart, but I refused to provide him with the gratification he desired."You believed that you could run?" Every phrase in Gray's deep, menacing voice was brimming with rage. As he drew me in, his hold on my arm became more firm and bruised. "After all I've done to hold you alive?"Despite the terror tearing at my gut, I scowled at him and wouldn't take my eyes off of him. With a trembling but powerful voice, I spat, "Keeping me alive doesn't mean you own me." "Your game does not have me as a pawn."His laughing lacked humor and was icy. "Oh, but Azalea, you are. The most crucial element on the board is you. I staggered after he pushed me back, just managing to catch myself before I hit the ground.He went on, pacing in front of me like a tiger assessin
