The Alpha's Obsession 63 - Full Circle
~Gemma~ Shit. I had come full circle. Back in my old room, I kicked my suitcase. I sat on my bed and wallowed in misery. Precisely, I had to end my engagement. I had to find a way to come to terms with my annoying and sexy as hell mate. No time like the present to get back to the business of living in reality and pull my head out of the clouds. I closed my door quietly. The packhouse was eerily silent. Why? I rapped lightly on Tyson’s door. “Come in.” He said, hoarsely. “Ty! Why are you still in bed?” My feet carried me quickly to his side. I felt his forehead. “Stop smothering me, little sister.” He smirked. I pulled my hand back and sat by his feet. “Beta Tyson, I rescind my request to leave the pack. I wish to be reinstated into the Midnight Sky Pack.” “Yeah? I just bet you do.” I eyed him hard. My fists balled. Invalid or not, I would hurt him. “Requests acknowledged and granted. So stop glaring at me.” He said indignantly. Hmm. How to best handle the next thing? “W

~Alpha Devlin~ ‘Alpha Devlin, please report to your office.’ Tyson contacted me via mindlink. ‘What’s up? I’m waiting on Gemma and Sammie to return.’ I responded. ‘Yeah. About that…We’ll talk when you get here.’ Fuck! I walked into my office. Tyson leaned against my desk wearing a grim expression. “What is is?” I had no patience for his drawn out games. “There is an alpha and 4 candidates for the Luna Trials waiting for you in the conference room.” He scowled at me. I groaned. “Goddammit! I never canceled the invitations!” I cursed. “No shit. Gemma will have your balls for this, dude. Seriously. Maybe you should do her a favor and hand them over. Save her the trouble.” “This isn’t fucking funny, Ty! Will you explain it to her? Let her know I am obligated at this point to follow through with the trials?” “Hell fucking no! I like my man junk right where it is. This problem definitely does not sound like Beta duty. This sounds like a mate who fucked up and needs to own up to hi

~Gemma~ I walked into Fame, along with Sammie and Tyson. Yup, vampire nightclub, here I am! Shit. I sighed. Even my hair felt the exhaustion. “Why are we here again?” Tyson mumbled. “For work.” I insisted. “Something called me here tonight. I have no idea who, what, or why. Only the when and where. Come on. Let’s grab a table and a drink.” Distraction clawed at me. I abandoned the conversation and scanned the crowd, looking for that sign, that pull. “This sucks! All I want to do is spend some quality time with Tyson’s bathtub. Tonight, the lights and loud music are bringing me down.” I pouted. Tyson pulled me into a hug. “There you go! We’ve all had a rough time of it lately.” “You think? I cannot recall how many wolves tried to sell me on the bullshit of this whole mate business. So much for blessed, revered, and destined mates! Mine is out there holding auditions for that spot as we speak! Meanwhile, he has the damn nerve to order me to end my engagement.” I fumed. Shit was f
Last Updated : 2022-06-13The Alpha's Obsession 66 - When Love Hurts
~Gemma~ It was Thursday, or day three of the Luna Trials. I’d be lying if I said shit was easy. I could hardly stand to be at the packhouse. I guess I really had no gripes with the candidates. After all, they were fucking invited. It was their mental musings, inner dialogs and feelings that wore at my damn nerves. I stayed away as much as I could without Alpha Devlin riding my case and generally acting like a whiny punk-ass. Today, I was expected to attend dinner. Great! I picked out an appropriate outfit. It was early September, still warm but the chill in the evening air reminded you Fall lurked around the corner. I loved Fall anyway. I picked out a skirt and a simple black top to go with it, bring down the dressy factor to casual. With the influx of visitors, Alpha Devlin had little time to spend hovering over me. Probably my only fucking perk of the whole ordeal. A knock at my door saved me from my wandering mind. I opened it. “Fuck, Gemma! Did you even check before opening th

~Gemma~ I hated the dress. Rather, I hated what the dress might imply. Under no circumstances was I dressing up for his benefit. If it all went to shit, skin contact with Mason may be my only saving grace. A fist thudded on my door. “Yo, Gems! You ready?" Mason called out. Yikes! It was now or never. I stepped out into the hall, caught off-guard by his spiffy outfit. “Wow! You clean up nice. Do you normally dress up for these things?” His lips quirked up on one side. “No. And I normally do not get the benefit of having you as a date.” “Hmm.” I grabbed his hand. “I hope you know I appreciate our friendship. Sorry I’ve been preoccupied lately. You deserve more than what I have been giving.” I wound my arm though his. “Nah! All the guys are jealous of me as it is.” He kissed my hand. When we entered the grand dining hall, I immediately tugged Mason in Sammie’s direction. Just as promised, she saved us two seats. We were near the far end of the table, giving Alpha Devlin and his c
Last Updated : 2022-06-15The Alpha's Obsession 68 - Careless Whisper
~Gemma~ I had been careless. I realized that. I allowed Alpha Devlin to use his alpha tone on me with success. Epic personal failure! I owned up to that shit. I pretended to sleep as I heard them argue. “She had some fucking valid points, Dev!” Tyson muttered. “I know. Fuck! What am I going to do? I can’t keep her asleep forever.” Alpha Devlin grumbled. I sat up, done with their games. “You got that right!” Tyson rushed me. I waived a hand and he fell to the ground. K.O.! Alpha Devlin glared at me. “Sleep!” I chuckled. “So damn cute! Yeah. That won’t be working again.” I waived a hand at him. I sent a mental command for him to sleep, swift, furious. I added a touch of dark to the command for his stubborn ass. He went down immediately. Fuck! They were going to wake P-I-S-S-E-D. I had little time! Hours at most! I dove under my bed and grabbed Fat Kitty. I put him into his carrier. I grabbed a large bag and tossed shit in. I made sure to grab food and water for my precious.

~Gemma~ “I’m losing my damn mind!” I clutched my midsection and rocked myself on the floor of Rina’s condo. “The rumors were true! The physical and mental separation is a bitch! Stupid mate bond!” I dragged myself to the bathroom and vomitted. “This is the worst!” I brushed my teeth. “Oh, honey. Come here.” Irina rubbed my temples, chanting softly. “Omigosh! Yes. I can hear myself think again. Thanks, babe.” “Don’t get comfortable. It won’t hold for long.” She warned. “It’s so unfair! Why is a simple life in a quiet town out of my reach?” “Because we’re witches. Because you chose to affiliate with the wolves. Because…” I covered my ears. “Okay! I get the picture. But guess what fucks with my mind the most? I wonder, like all the damn time, if I never went to live with Gran and I never met Devlin, would the mate bond still have formed? I’m a witch! I deserve a get out of jail free card or some shit.” Irina shrugged. “I don’t have the answers you are desperately seeking. I doubt

~Gemma~ “Well, alpha. I’m assuming it’s natural due to the peculiarity of it. I met a wolf with white hair once. And I don’t mean that pastel, Elsa from Frozen weird look. I’m talking Crayola white.” “Am I supposed to know what any of that means?” His brow rose, an air of superiority dancing around him. Surprise, surprise. Another alpha but there’s nothing new. Was it an inborn characteristic flaw for them? Their damning arrogance? “Not up-to-date on your Disney movies, alpha? What a shame. I’m a fan of the classics myself.” His warring emotions danced over my skin. “Am I frustrating you? I promise I won’t be offended if you take your leave.” I took a sip of my fruity, alcoholic beverage and reclined further into my lounger. “If my company is unwelcome, perhaps I will take the boy and go.” He lounged on the other chair, looking comfortable and confident. And his patience with me unraveled by the minute. No doubt the handsome alpha usually commanded more attention from the opposi

The Alpha's Obsession 87 - Volatile and Unreasonable
~Gemma~ I cuddled the crap out of a wiggly Little Zander. Yes, I was actively avoiding Rina. “Nobody understands me like you do, little dude.” I squeezed him again for the hundredth time. He stared at me with those dark, sage eyes of his. “Are you hiding out in the nursery?” I startled at the sound of the Alpha’s mocking tone. Where the hell had he come from? His hulking frame looked ominous in the cheery and bright room. “What of it? Mind your business.” He crossed those powerful arms of his across his expansive chest. “You are clinging to my son like your life depends on it. Hence, it is my business.” My shoulders hunched a little as I sat Little Zander down. When his hands immediately grabbed for me, I scooped him up again. “It’s no hope for it now, Alpha Zander. Little Z is my new bestie at the moment.” I winked at him. His sweet, cherub face smiled back at me. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Beta Solar pass by the doorway. “Hey! Beta! Wait up!” I yelled after him, kno
The Alpha's Obsession 86 - Something More
~Alpha Zander~ James crossed his arms. “The witch has a name. It is Gemma. She prefers to be addressed as such.” James walked deeper into the kitchen. His gaze taking in the gamma’s body on the floor. “She attacked Marcus.” I pointed out the obvious. James rolled his eyes. “Marcus is the biggest douchebag around. I could feel her hunger from out there. How could it not be choking everyone from here? We tried to find her some food super early this morning and there was nothing. She was acting weird. Weird for her.” Irina remained quiet, listening to what James said. She studied her mate and then turned to Marcus’ body. “How long until he wakes up?” I wondered. “It was only an apple.” Irina frowned at that. “He will rise when I wish him to. Is anyone offering to go retrieve her? Because I am more than capable.” I nodded my head at James. “The witch,” I began. The look on James’ face irritated me. Given the circumstances, I let it ride. “Gemma,” I corrected. “Go get her and bring
The Alpha's Obsession 85 - Bad Day
~Gemma~ Why me? Just why? I rolled over, spitting out hair stuck to my mouth. My whole body hurt, like I’d been beaten with a baseball bat. Fuck! I untangled from the bedding. Yeah. Still clothed. Thank goddess. It was ten in the morning. Great! My food hunger still raged. At least the other was nowhere to be found. The day looked bright so far. Before knocking on Rina’s door, I heard feminine moans followed by a giggle. Jeez! I called out. “Um. I hope you guys realize this room is so not sound proof! My imagination is wildly out-of-control now. Thanks for that!” Driven by desperation, I made my way back to the kitchen. Surprise, surprise. Today’s search came back fruitless. Almost. I played with the apple in my hand, debating on eating it. On one hand, it was stupid. People were starving in the world while I agonized over my lack of options. I sat in the same chair I had occupied only hours earlier. I pinpointed the exact moment when my solitude had been breached. “Well, what
The Alpha's Obsession 84 - Two Hungers
~Gemma~ The next night, I received a phone call from an unknown number. “Hello?” “Gems? Thank fuck! Are you okay?” Dev spoke quietly. WTF? I tried multiple times to contact him via mindlink to no avail for the past day. His phone number had been changed. And now he decides to call? When I’m an emotional fucking wreck? Avoiding the goddess' hungers wore me down, physically and emotionally. “Gems?” Shit! I answered. How could I not? “How’s Tyson doing? And Sam?” “Ty’s fine. Sammie is a fucking trooper. I’m convinced they only survived because of the enhanced strength the goddess bestowed upon them.” He hesitated. “Listen…” “Dev, I can’t. I need space to breathe. Let my anger simmer and then maybe I’ll be in the mood to listen.” I hissed at him. “The thing you saw with that she-wolf, it was a mistake I immediately regretted. It didn't get very far.” He went silent for a few moments. I could still hear his breathing over the line. I kept my mouth shut. Otherwise I might cause
The Alpha's Obsession 83 - Emotional Warriors
~Gemma~ The day was a win so far. The sun glared down on us, warming the water. We met a few pack members. Everyone seemed nice and welcoming. Well, this one she-wolf gave me the stank eye. What could you expect? Rina snagged one fo their most eligible bachelors. Alpha Zander spent more time with me that was necessary. When Little Zander was carted away to take a nap, I joined Rina and her mate in the hot tub. She dangled her feet in the hot water, a towel wrapped around her shoulders. I scooted over, sitting on the opposite side to face them. “This is cozy. With all his money, the alpha couldn’t spring for a bigger hot tub?” What was that all about? When my foot accidentally touched his, I drew my legs up on the seat with me. “Sorry. Not being rude. But there is no freaking way I want any of your spillage.” I apologized. Rina giggled. “Will you help me unpack later?” I glared at her. “We packed most of that crap! I am aware how much is stuffed in those bags and suitcases.” “I
The Alpha's Obsession 82 - Troublemaker
~Gemma~ I stared at Alpha Zander, disoriented for a moment. “Um.” I faltered. “So you’re a blank, right? Maybe tomorrow we can ask Rina to verify. Otherwise, good for you.” He watched me in silence for a moment. “Care for another drink?” “I think I’ve had enough.” I pushed my chair back and stood. “Will you think about what I said?” He stood with me. “About what?” “Joining the Moon Tide Pack and remaining with Irina.” I rolled my eyes. “No pack has two witches. That’s greedy, alpha.” He sighed, irritation riding his voice. “Avoiding the question. Again.” I lifted one shoulder. “It’s a personality quirk. Irina and I together is a lot to handle, you brave, delusional soul. Yes, I will think about it.” “Whatever your current salary, we will double it.” “Wow. That’s a lot for a troublemaker.” His statement stunned me. “I assume you can also help out with pack matters and meetings.” “And Rina?” “As the mate to my beta, her place in the pack is secure. No games, no bullshit. S
The Alpha's Obsession 81 - Fealty
~Gemma~ As soon as Rina laid eyes on me, she scowled. “It was meant to drain you of your powers, right?” I asked her. “How do you know?” “Because that’s how I feel! Fucking drained!” I whined. Irina rolled her eyes. “She’s hangry. When is dinner? This one often forgets to feed herself. Then, everyone around her pays the price.” “Hey!” I said. “Rude, but accurate.” “Call the goddess and have her restore your strength.” Rina suggested. I groaned! “Not that bitch! Haven’t I suffered enough?” “Gems!” “Fucking fine!” I summoned her. It must have been my lucky moment of the day. Her cool power swept through me, revitalizing me. She never came to the surface. I felt full, like I had plenty and still had excess left over. Out of curiosity, I touched Alpha Zander’s arm. A shocked expression covered his face. I held on for a count of three before running over and placing a a hand on Rina and her mate. She gasped, clutching at my hand. Beta Solar groaned, in a good way, not complain
The Alpha's Obsession 80 - Reckless
~Gemma~ He convinced me all alphas were a chip off the same stupid block. “Are you for real right now? After everything that has gone down?” “Did you sleep with him?” Alpha Zander hissed at me. I rolled my eyes at the his dramatics. “Yes! I slept with him. I would think that fact was obvious.” I wore a black tee-shirt. Alpha Zander’s tee-shirt to be exact. The very one he ripped off his back and ordered me to wear after storming my room. I say my room loosely. The alpha owned it all. “Did you fuck him?” “Bingo! Now we’re getting somewhere.” I crossed my legs. “No, Alpha Zander. I did not fuck James. Not that I think it is any of your damn business.” Beta Solar entered the office. “Gemma, she is awake and asking for you.” I got up and left, making a swift exit from that troubling conversation. When Beta Solar noticed my outfit, I said, “Don’t ask.” My head nodded in the alpha’s direction. Irina sat up in bed. I rushed to her side. “Hi, love! Sorry I wasn’t here when you woke.
The Alpha's Obsession 79 - Broken
~Gemma~ Alpha Zander pushed through the crowds of his pack members. “Move!” He roared. People scattered upon his demand. Something in me snapped as I stared at the nightmare in front of me. Her injuries were extensive. Irina laid on the ground, bloody and broken. Her beautiful black hair sprawled around her, like a bride’s veil. She reached her hand up to me. I grabbed it, kneeling beside her. As her excruciating pain and sorrow rolled over me, I ripped it all away from her, bottling it up in the pits of my rapidly blackening soul. Beta Solar crouched down on her other side, his face a mask of torment. “It’s done, witch. We have them.” I closed my eyes, shuddering in relief even as I absorbed her pain. “I’m dying. We’re dying.” Rina’s voice sounded so very weak. "No spell I cast can fix this." A smile curved on my lips as I swept the remaining hair covering her face to the side. “Do you really think I’d ever let you abandon me in this shitshow? Quiet, while we heal you.” I patt
