The Alpha's Mate (Book 1: Finding His Luna) Ch. 17 - Dr's Visit Pt. 1
Zayde's Point of View My wife Francis and I were just finishing our breakfast. She was heading back to the palace to manage the hospital, and we didn't get much time to spend together. It was small since werewolves didn't get sick that much, though they could get injured or have cancer. Cancer was nasty because our metabolisms were so fast. It gave us superhuman strength and healed us quickly, but it could also kill us just as quickly when it came to cancer. There was also a research centre researching the effects of Aconite, otherwise known as wolf's bane. While it is quite a pretty flower, it is toxic to most species, especially werewolves. It can seriously harm the heart, muscles and nerves. As well as being the chief surgeon, Francis oversaw this research to devise an antidote in case of poisoning. It was a rather nasty poison. As much as I miss spending time with her, her job was essential. I would savour these moments together. My job was being a pack doctor to Alpha Kristo
The Alpha's Mate (Book 1: Finding His Luna) Ch. 18 - Dr's Visit Pt. 2
Aláine's Point of View Anxiously, I observed the doctor taking care of Axel. His name was Zayde, and he was softly spoken and as thorough as any vet and seemed very gentle with Axel. Zayde patted and talked to Axel while checking him. I wondered if he forgot that Axel was just a dog, but I was grateful that he took such good care of him. I was hopeful that Axel was going to be alright. Strange, but I also felt safe and secure as Kristof held me tightly in his arms throughout the doctor's visit. His hand gently caressed my cheek and neck, seemingly without thought but with such care. It was pleasant and I could get used to this. "Axel should be okay, but he needs rest. It appears not to be serious, but we have no idea if there is any long term damage," said the doctor. "He will need monitoring for a while to see if there will be any after-effects from the taser. I am sorry I could not give you any better news." "Thank you," I replied quietly. "Now let's see to your injuries," he s
The Alpha's Mate (Book 1: Finding His Luna) Ch. 19 - You Live Here Now Pt. 1
Aláine's Point of View Utter exhaustion and emotionally depleted was all I felt right now. So many questions ran through my mind. On the one hand, it was convenient that I was to stay with Kristof, but he seemed genuine, not that I had much experience with males. Actually... no experience in the sex department and hardly any more in the dating department. But I was not going to dwell on that. He said he would let Zara stay here for a while, and I was certainly happy about that. I was surrounded by mostly male werewolves and needed my best friend here to keep things real. Things were moving extremely fast with Kristof, and I relied upon Zara for her excellent advice. It suddenly occurred that Noah and the other man were conveniently there when I needed help. I was not entirely suspicious of them, or their motives, but I just thought I needed this clearing up. "Why were Noah and the other man following me?" I asked Kristof. "As soon as I found you, I had people guarding you. I am an
The Alpha's Mate (Book 1: Finding His Luna) Ch. 20 - You Live Here Now Pt. 2
Kristof's Point of View I seized the opportunity to check out where Aláine lived to better understand what she was like. I was glad that she had a single bed in her room. No pictures of boyfriends on her dresser. Nothing in the room indicated that another male had been there; not the kind of room to bring someone home to. No potential male suitors I would have to fight off or kill. After all, wolves were possessive by nature, and I was an Alpha, making me doubly so. I would not share. I watched her put her clothes in a bag, and they were all sensible, and I liked that. I might be the next Kingdom of Grey Moon's Alpha, but it didn't necessarily mean I had extravagant tastes. I sat down on her bed to watch her, and I was excited that she was coming to live with me. There was no way I was going to let her come back here. She was mine, and I intended to make sure she stayed that way. Yes, I was possessive and determined. Aláine's Point of View When we got back to the packhouse, Kris
The Alpha's Mate (Book 1: Finding His Luna) Ch. 21 - Lucky Noah
Noah's Point of View I couldn't believe Kristof was allowing me to bring Zara home to the packhouse. She would be my mate, but I wasn't going to mention how important Zara was to me. Yet. That would come later. I wanted to wait until Kristof and Aláine sorted out their mating, given how reluctant she was at this stage. Zara had assured me that she liked Kristof. Still, she wasn't the type to rush into relationships because she'd been pressured and hurt before. I didn't know much of what had gone on, but I figured that Zara would help if needed. Right now, I wanted to think about Zara. My chocolate Goddess and my mate. She was gorgeous and meant everything to me. When I first saw her nightclubbing, I hooked up with her immediately. I saw another couple of males eyeing her up, and I wasn't going to let them anywhere near her. Despite trying to project a casual air, I was worried that she might want to date around. At that point, I would have needed to mention to Kristof that I wante
The Alpha's Mate (Book 1: Finding His Luna) Ch. 22 - After The First Night Pt. 1
Aláine's Point of View When I woke up early the following day, sunlight streamed through the windows. There were dark coloured unpatterned curtains, but they had not been closed. I was momentarily disoriented until I remembered that I was not at home now but at the packhouse. I didn't remember going to bed last night, and now I was in bed and I was being held down. I couldn't move, except I discovered that I was not actually being held down. I was being cuddled by Kristof. His arm was resting on me, holding me in a sleeping embrace. This was an entirely new experience for me as I had never shared my bed with anyone. Other than Tyra or Zara, that is, when we were kids. That didn't count. My heart beat marathon fast, and I was unsure what to do. I also noticed that I was wearing nothing more than my cami top and underwear. No bra even! I was sure I had been dressed when I laid down next to Axel. Was that where I fell asleep? Did Kristof undress me last night? I felt embarrassed bec
The Alpha's Mate (Book 1: Finding His Luna) Ch. 23 - After The First Night Pt. 2
Kristof's Point of View I watched her enter the ensuite. Damn, she was sexy, and it was like she didn't realise it. It was apparent that she was inexperienced, but I wondered how inexperienced. I also wondered if she was a virgin. I liked that idea, and I was hoping that was the case. I would then be her first and last. When I entered the bedroom last night and saw her asleep next to Axel, I spent quite a while just watching her. She was more than sexy; she was so beautiful. Axel would make a sound in his sleep every now and then, and in her sleep, Aláine would stroke him to calm him. I recognised that she was more than beautiful but also caring and loving. I longed to have her in my arms and be the one in her loving arms. Last night after watching her for quite a while, I had carefully lifted her up and placed her on my bed. Slowly, I removed her shoes and clothes, leaving only her cami and panties. I had even removed her bra so she wouldn't be uncomfortable. I then slid careful
The Alpha's Mate (Book 1: Finding His Luna) Ch. 24 - First Breakfast
Aláine's Point of View Since Kristof and I had woken up early, it was just the three of us, including Axel. Kristof pulled the chair out for me and then fed Axel first. "Bacon and eggs?" he asked. "Yes, thank you," I replied, "I usually don't eat before taking him for a run, but I guess he won't be running for a while." I was melancholy thinking about Axel, but at least he was alive and there was a good chance he would probably recover to his usual self. I turned my attention to Kristof as he cooked our breakfast. He seemed very at home in the kitchen, which was a major turn-on for me. A man who would cook for you was a keeper. I remembered my mother saying that about my dad. While we were eating, Kristof sat close to me and kept eye contact with me as much as possible while still asking me questions about my degree and the languages I spoke. I felt like I was the centre of attention, and it was a peculiar feeling for me. "You are spoiling me so much." Putting his knife and fo

The Alpha's Mate (Book 1: Finding His Luna) Epilogue
Unknown's Point of View I finally found Viktor holed up in a small cabin in the woods. It had obviously seen better days. Any paint had long since flaked away, and the gardens were overgrown. I walked up the path to knock on the equally run-down door. "Ahhh, Viktor," I said, "The man I have been looking for." "And what do I owe the pleasure, Mr...?" Viktor replied. "Who I am is of no matter at this moment," I stated. "I want to know what you intend to do with the woman, Aláine?" I watched that pathetic, snivelling werewolf, Viktor. He was cowering before me, although he neither knew who nor what I was. When I mentioned the Aláine woman, I could see the indecision on Viktor's face. "She is my Luna!" he screamed at me. "No, she is not!" I snapped back at him. "She belongs to another. She never belonged to you and never will." The frustration on his face was sweet. God, I hated werewolves. Viktor walked around his little cabin. The inside was similarly as run-down as the outside
The Alpha's Mate (Book 1: Finding His Luna) Ch. 106 - Celebration
Aláine's Point of View Tomorrow night was the first full moon after my shift. Kristof and I were to be mated in front of our pack. During the two weeks, Kristof had taken me into their little township to meet many of the pack members. It was nerve-wracking, but it gave me a sense of purpose too. I was finally meeting all the people Kristof was responsible for and, by extension, for whom I would be responsible. Being a Luna was a considerable responsibility. Fate had put me in that position, so I was going to make sure I didn't let Kristof or our pack down. My guards, Daniel and Jake, had taken Zara and me into the city to purchase a gown. I chose a lovely cream lace dress with spaghetti straps. My favourite style. It hugged the curves in my body but was also elegant. There was a slight flair from the knees, ending halfway down the calves at the front. At the back, it reached my shoes at the bottom. It was a dress that said wedding without actually saying it. Just perfect. Initially
The Alpha's Mate (Book 1: Finding His Luna) Ch. 105 - Becoming Luna Pt. 3
Aláine's Point of View My life consisted of walking with Kristof and Axel in the morning, having breakfast then training with Michel, Daniel and Jake. After lunch, I would spend hours cooped up with Noah learning how to do the accounts. Then I would have time to spend with Zara and Callie before dinner. Evenings were spent doing another kind of exercise with Kristof. I had never been so busy or so tired, but I can't say I hated it. During our nighttime trysts, Kristof broached the subject of a Luna Celebration where we would be officially mated in front of the pack. I would then be inaugurated as Luna officially. This was a big thing as far as the pack were concerned. They hadn't had a Luna in years, not even with the last Alpha. When the last Alpha stepped down, Kristof stepped up to take his place. He had been groomed to take over the position as the previous Alpha had no offspring. This was unusual, but the Alpha was gay, and neither he nor his mate wanted children. They could ha
The Alpha's Mate (Book 1: Finding His Luna) Ch. 104 - Becoming Luna Pt. 2
Aláine's Point of View The following morning, we took Axel for a run before breakfast. It was good to see that he could run again and loved running throughout the forest. I didn't need to run with him, as he would take off and return often. It also gave me a chance to have quality time with Kristof, which didn't involve sex. When we sat for breakfast, Kristof explained that Michel would take Daniel, Jake and me for training. We would train together, so I could get used to their fighting style. Kristof made it quite clear that the purpose of the exercise was self-defence, and it would be up to my guards to keep me safe. All four of us first went for a run in wolf form around the forest as a warm-up. Michel decided it would be preferable to learn to fight in human form while only practising running in wolf form. I needed to be comfortable as a wolf before learning to fight like one. Once I was warmed up, Michel went over the basic principles of hand-to-hand combat. The first principl
The Alpha's Mate (Book 1: Finding His Luna) Ch. 103 - Becoming Luna Pt. 1
Aláine's Point of View Kristof and I arrived home from the police station and went straight to his office. Noah was already there working. "Afternoon, Noah," said Kristof. "Afternoon," I echoed, smiling. "Alpha, Luna, what do you need?" Noah asked. "I need you to run Aláine through the accounts and coach her through taking over from you," Kristof replied. "I think this is an area that the Luna can oversee under your guidance at first." "Brilliant," smirked Noah. "I would be happy to show you the ropes." Noah and I spent the next two hours going over accounts. I knew that Kristof owned quite a few businesses under the name of Kristof Blackwolf. His construction company, Blackwolf Industries, was doing exceptionally well in the human world. The same company was constructing the new guard house and family units. This company had an actual accounting firm running the books, but it was overseen by Noah and now me. A certain percentage of the net profits were funnelled into the pack a

Aláine's Point of View When that arsehole trafficker, Sunny Chan, grabbed me, I was scared. That pissed me off because after turning, I managed to scare Viktor. I shouldn't have been scared of a stupid human, but I was, and I know for a fact that Kristof would have felt it. I felt his anger in response to it. I smelt and heard Samson as he snuck into the interrogation room. As soon as he grappled Sunny, I made my move to get out of his hold. Luckily it wasn't hard. I could have gotten out of it, but then I didn't want to show how strong I actually was. Grrr. How the hell do werewolves figure this shit out? Before walking out of the room, I told the detective I was finished here. He just nodded. Even the lawyer managed to look contrite. So he should. After this, it would be hard for his client to come out of this without some form of penalty. Maybe if he does, I could do something about it. I could sense that Kristof was standing outside of the room. It was pretty obvious the direct

Kristof's Point of View Samson knocked on the door, and one of the detectives opened the door and greeted us. He was definitely a human, so I knew there was no way I could force the issue of letting me stay in the interrogation room with Aláine. When she went in, Samson motioned me to come to the next room, where there was a one-way mirror I could look through. "Sorry, Alpha, I couldn't let you stay in the room with Luna, even if the Chief allowed you," he apologised. "The lawyer for this arsehole would have a field day, and we can't let him walk. He is trafficking women for sex." Damn! Humans were disgusting at times. I severely doubted anyone in our community would do such a thing, though I wasn't sure about Vampires. They needed to get blood somehow, and I had heard stories. "At least this way, we can keep an eye on Luna without alerting anyone," Samson continued. My attention moved from Samson to the perp. So this guy was a pimp, but just on a grand scale. He was wearing a sui
The Alpha's Mate (Book 1: Finding His Luna) Ch. 100 - I have A Job To Do Pt. 2
Kristof's Point of View So far, today has been a wonderful day. Aláine and I started with our first run as mates, then ended with incredible sex. It was time to take the party inside. As much as I enjoy making love to her outside, we have a comfortable bedroom to continue it. Cameras can be on outside to pick up any disturbance, and the bedroom is soundproofed. "Let's get some food," I said in answer to Aláine's grumbling tummy. "I feel like all I ever do is eat," she said embarrassingly. "I did tell you we burn more calories than humans, and we have not only been for a run but also had fantastic sex. That has burned off quite a few." I responded. "Lead the way," she declared, laughing. "Please feed me before I faint from hunger." "At your service, my lady. I'll fill your stomach first, and then I'll fill other things," I smiled and jiggled my eyebrows suggestively, leading her toward the kitchen. "Pasta sound good?" I asked while I rummaged through the fridge. "Sure," said Alá
The Alpha's Mate (Book 1: Finding His Luna) Ch. 99 - First Run
Aláine's Point of View Over the next three days, we practised shifting between human and wolf, human and Lycan, wolf and Lycan, and back again. My shifting time was much faster, although Kristof was incredibly fast at shifting forms. He'd had many years of practice, and it showed. At least it didn't hurt as badly. Unfortunately, the pain hadn't entirely diminished. I had my walking and running down pat. My tail was acting like a rudder, and I could run and turn without falling over. Kristof said I was a natural at it. I thought my progress was due to being turned as an adult. While it took wolf-born children much longer, knowing the science behind it helped. Now we were going for my first official run with my mate. I would be handing over the reins to Calliope, and Kristof would allow Connery to have control during this time. Kristof was very explicit with Calliope and Connery that this was a run only, not a mating. "Why?" I asked. "What's the difference?" "If our wolves mate, the
