The Alpha's Mate (Book 1: Finding His Luna) Ch. 32 - Security Concerns
Kristof's Point of View After Tyra and Cassandra had left, I noticed that Aláine seemed more relaxed than she had initially been and certainly a lot happier than when we met. The following morning I talked to Aláine about how she had felt when Cassandra disappeared and the loss she had felt because of it. I had never thought about what it would be like for families left behind when werewolves mated with humans. After my brainstorming session last night, I resolved to talk to other members in my pack who had initially been human to see how they felt about it and whether they wanted to see their non-werewolf families again. Of course, I couldn't just change the rules because I was Alpha, as there was the safety of the whole pack to consider and getting the elders to agree. However, I was sure that if it was the will of the pack and could be done safely, and my father consented to change the royal decree, then the rules could be changed. As we took Axel for his daily walk around the
The Alpha's Mate (Book 1: Finding His Luna) Ch. 33 - Exploring The Packhouse
Aláine's Point of View As the others left to go to Kristof's office, I picked up a tea towel to help Frederic with the dishes. "No, Luna, I have this," he said. "Forget it; I'm helping," I overrode him and gave him one of my determined looks. "Yes, Luna," he replied with a smile. I can be bossy when I want. Frederic washed, I dried, and Zara put them away. With a group high five, Frederic went off to the security room to help Kieran with the cameras and fence system, muttering something about skinning him if he touches Callie. Zara and I went to explore the house before going outside with Axel. The packhouse was an immense multi-levelled mansion surrounded by forest. At the front was a circled driveway leading to the front door. The main entrance was like a foyer with a door on each side and stairs leading both upstairs and down. The left door led to a spacious living area where a large flat-screen TV was attached to the wall. Some of them liked to play games because there was
The Alpha's Mate (Book 1: Finding His Luna) Ch. 34 - Viktor's Rage Pt. 1
Viktor's Point of View Two Days Ago "Damn those fucking werewolves!" I screamed. "I was this close to taking the human away from the bloody wolf-born Alpha. I wanted to get to her before he turned her. He doesn't deserve a woman like that. Wolf-born are all the same. They think they can do whatever they want, but I'll show them." "Indeed, Viktor," replied Olivier. Olivier always let me rant when I was angry and never seemed to get upset. I was glad I turned him. He made an excellent advisor. Even though I wasn't actually an Alpha, I still saw myself as one. After all, I had already killed one wolf-born Alpha and wouldn't stop until I killed them all. Olivier would be my Beta. As for turning him, those wolf-borns and their stupid laws about not turning werewolves unless they were fated mates. Since when did I listen to wolf-born rules and regulations? I would create my own and become a ruler over all the humans I turned into werewolves. I need to think of some celebration or ritu
The Alpha's Mate (Book 1: Finding His Luna) Ch. 35 - A Plan To Entrap
Kristof's Point of View Straight after breakfast Noah, Michel, Callie and I sat around the meeting table in my office. It was a massive room on the ground floor, which could easily hold 50 or more people if they were standing. At the moment, we were busy discussing how to find and trap the werewolves that attacked Aláine. "What if you take her out on another date to try and lure them out?" suggested Michel. "We should be able to identify them and possibly take them out, especially if there are only a few of them." "I don't like the idea of putting her in danger. She is to be our Luna, after all," said Noah. "I agree," I said, "especially as she is still human at this stage. The next full moon is in another week." I was not inclined to put my mate and the pack's Luna in any sort of danger. She was far too precious. The love I was starting to feel for her made me want to protect her. "Alpha," interrupted Callie, "What if we were to have matching dresses and use matching vehicles?
The Alpha's Mate (Book 1: Finding His Luna) Ch. 36 - Second Date Pt. 1
Aláine's Point of View Later that afternoon, I was sitting reading. Zara was off with Noah, and Kristof had been out on business. I wondered what I would be doing once I was a werewolf and Luna. Was I going to be spending a lot of time sitting doing nothing, or would I have some form of work that kept me occupied and fulfilled? Would I have to give up work? "Aláine! Where are you?" called Kristof. I came running. "Is everything all right?" I asked. Kristof smiled in his seductive way and crooked his index finger. I walked right up to him, smiling back at him, "You called?" Kristof grabbed me and sunk his nose into my neck, breathing in my natural scent. He said I smell of sweet blossoms. It was a sweet scent that only I, his mate had. His was the smell of grass after the rain. I had looked on the internet to find out that the scent was called petrichor. What a nerd I was. "Follow me," he said as he led me upstairs to the bedroom. Was he going to try and seduce me again? I loo
The Alpha's Mate (Book 1: Finding His Luna) Ch. 37 - Opposing Plan
Olivier's Point of View I was getting so sick of Viktor now, with his crazy rants. When I first met him, I knew he had been through hell, but I never thought he'd be this bad. When you were a rogue with no pack, there were not a lot of choices, so for better or worse, I had thrown my lot in with him. I was not sure who turned me, six months ago, but when I had my first change into being a werewolf, Viktor found me and helped me cope with it all. Now, Viktor had declared himself Alpha and made me his Beta. We had to do some weird blood ceremony to bind us. He said our pack was to be made up of human-turned-werewolves only. No wolf-born were allowed, fated mates or not. I could see where he was coming from. Every wolf-born we had come across was as arrogant as Viktor had told us they would be. While we were reconning a pack to see if we could take out their Alpha, we came across a human who was to become this Alpha's mate. Viktor had become obsessed with this human. Admittedly,

Kristof's Point of View Aláine and I arrived at the restaurant and drove into a secure car park. It was obviously exclusive, and there were guards at the entrance. I liked this place because the owner, Rickard, was a werewolf from one of the neighbouring packs, who was part of my father's kingdom. The same one that owned the nightclub where I met Aláine. I knew him personally because he had trained Frederic. His pack was very city-oriented, which was strange because most werewolves prefer to live away from humans as my pack did. We had our own reasonable town on privately-owned land with many businesses and even a couple of schools. Our pack was thriving, with only a few having to deal with humans. When we entered, many of the upmarket customers were staring at us. There were a lot of humans here, but I noticed some werewolves, a fae and even a vampire. There was undoubtedly a mix of patrons. Some of the men were leering at Aláine, and it took a lot of my self-control to keep wal
The Alpha's Mate (Book 1: Finding His Luna) Ch. 39 - Outsmarted Pt. 1
Kristof's Point of ViewI could see Callie and Noah belted into the upside-down car. Noah appeared to be moving, probably trying to get out, and it was hard to see if Callie was okay. Given that Noah wasn't raging, Callie was probably fine. The two men were beside the car looking in through the broken windows. Aláine pointed to the man standing by Callie. He looked pissed off, but so was I. As we stopped the car, I noticed that the man Aláine pointed to had seen the real Aláine. The bastard was smiling, and it was sending me into a rage."Stay here!" I yelled to Aláine as I got out of the car.I stood facing one of the strange men while he circled, looking for a way to attack me. The man was as Aláine had described him. This was the man who tried to abduct her. He had put his filthy hands on her. I could feel my anger rising, but I needed to stay in control. I needed to protect Aláine."Well, I finally meet you Wolf-born," he said grinning, "and I see you brought your mate."He sniff

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

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

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
