Alpha XavierThere she goes, my mate, running away from me again.I release a long sigh as I watch her fly away. What am I going to do with her?'Next time, push her against the mattress and ravage her,' my wolf howls inside me."Xander!" I growl at him. "I will not force myself on my mate!"'Ah, you are too noble for your own good, Xavier. I felt her wolf, and let me tell you, she was eager,' Xander says.The truth is that he is right. She smells of beauty and innocence and everything that I wanted to claim as mine. Only, I had promised myself that when she came into heat, we would make love together – not have me take her like some animal in a rut."Yeah well, I would rather wait until Sylvia is ready," I murmur under my breath. It helped the words escape my lips before Xander could say something lewd again.'Boring,' he says, then goes silent. I can feel the conflict within me, torn between my primal instincts and my desire to respect Sylvia. The urge to chase after her is strong,
I did it.I rejected Alpha Xavier.I didn't have the guts to stay and watch his reaction, so I ran away right away. Hopefully, he is not too angry at me. If anything, he should be relieved as he didn't have to reject me first. Who would want to have a servant as his mate anyway, right?'I cannot believe you rejected him and left him like that. What is the matter with you, girl!' my wolf scolds me."It's for the best," I reply.I couldn't go into my room because I knew Alpha Xavier would follow me there. So I ran to the forest instead.A wild panic surges through me as I enter the forest. With every step I take, my heart thumps faster and faster until I'm sure it will burst out of my chest. The steady rustle of leaves in the trees fails to soothe me. They say finding one's fated mate is a rare gift, yet here I am, running away from mine.Trembling with fear, I wander deeper into the woods until I can run no more. Falling against a big oak tree, I gasp for breath when I hear a deep voic
I've been thinking about Alpha Xavier all day. I can't stop. It's as if he put a spell on me, and I can hardly focus at work because of it.And his touch... Oh, his touch is like an electric current coursing through my veins. It's as if his hands have their own magic, igniting a fire within me that I never knew existed. The way his fingers graze my skin sends shivers down my spine, leaving a trail of warmth in their wake.I find myself daydreaming about the moments we've shared, replaying them in my mind like a movie.What the hell is wrong with me!?It must be because he is my mate.'Or, it's because you fell in love with him,' Liliana chirps in my consciousness."No, Lili, I don't think it's love," I nervously stammer."Then what is it?' my wolf inquires."I don't know... maybe it's because of the mate bond that the moon goddess has put on us," I suggest, "It's so strong and there's nothing I can do to control my feelings." I pause, trying to make sense of everything.'Or, maybe thi
Alpha XavierSylvia has been living amongst my pack for weeks now, but I still know nothing about her. She has the same mysterious air that seems to cloak her in darkness and secrets wherever she goes. With each passing day, the idea of discovering what she is hiding becomes more and more tempting.I often find myself watching her from a distance, studying her mannerisms and movements, trying to feel something about her mysterious past. Part of me wants to tell everyone that she is my mate and have her stop denying it already.But the other part of me knew it would be a bad idea. Whoever she is hiding from must still be after her, or she wouldn't be so secretive all the time. I can't expose her and put her in danger. I need to get to the bottom of this on my own. I will let Sylvia play her maid game while I figure out the truth.At night, I sneak away from the pack and go into the forest in search of clues, but so far, I found nothing.So I decided to get crafty. Whenever Sylvia is ar
My mind is a whirlwind of emotions as I lay in bed, tossing and turning. I can't sleep, no matter how hard I try.The memory of that passionate kiss with Alpha Xavier kept replaying in my mind. Each detail was etched into my consciousness.It was hours ago that Alpha Xavier and I had shared a passionate kiss, yet my lips tingle when I think about how his felt on mine. His warm hands cupped my cheeks, caressing the skin with his strong fingers while his thumbs brushed against my cheekbones. I stood there frozen for a moment, not daring to blink or breathe in case it broke the spell of our meeting. I can't believe how much that single kiss had affected me.But what was he thinking? After we shared that kiss earlier today, he simply told me to go back to work as if it meant nothing.What a tease!Gah!'Oh, stop moaning and groaning already. It's your fault he is teasing you now,' Lilliana chirps inside me.I groan, feeling both embarrassed and irritated. "My fault? How's it my fault?" I
I gulp, feeling nervous and curious as I take in the mischievous smile that graces Alpha Xavier's face this morning. My heart races a bit faster, and I can't help but wonder what might be going on in his mind. His voice draws my attention as he addresses me, and I quickly try to gather my thoughts."Didn't you hear me ask, Sylvia? I asked how you slept last night." Alpha Xavier's question pulls me into the present, and I realize I've been lost in my own contemplations.I clear my throat, my voice coming out meekly as I respond, "I slept okay." My gaze meets his, and I can't help but notice the playful glint in his eyes.He arches an eyebrow, his lips curling into a knowing smile. "Just okay?" he repeats, his tone almost teasing. "I'd think you slept way better than just okay."His words catch me off guard, and a blush creeps onto my cheeks. It's as if he can see right through me as if he knows the thoughts that have been racing through my mind since last night."Well, I mean... I..."
It is the day of the festival.I stand in front of the mirror, wearing my favorite floral print dress. The dress has vibrant flowers that seem to dance across the fabric.Perfect for the Harvest Festival!My carefully crafted French braid flowed down my back, with some strands neatly tucked in to create an elaborate and feminine style. A few loose strands framed my face."Wow, you look amazing!" Alice gushes beside me, making me blush."Thank you, Alice," I say, feeling a surge of confidence. "You look beautiful yourself."She grins back at me, twirling her dress. "Thank you. You are lucky Alpha Xavier bought you a whole new wardrobe. I am so jealous of you!"I frown. "Don't be jealous, please. I can't handle another person hating me around here."Alice's expression softens as she realizes the weight of my words. "I know, and I'm sorry for making it sound like it's your fault. I understand that sometimes, the way people treat you because of his gifts can be frustrating."I nod, gratef
Alpha Xavier"Xavier, look at me!"I snap my head toward Selene. "What is it?" I ask hoarsely, but my eyes stay trained on Sylvia and James."You aren't even paying attention to me!" Selene whines."I am dancing with you, aren't I? What more do you want?" I ask irritably.Selene pouts, clearly not satisfied with my response. She tugs at my arm, trying to regain my attention. "But you've been staring at that girl all night, Xavier. It's like she's the only one here."I finally tear my gaze away from Sylvia and James, feeling a pang of annoyance. "Selene, I need to talk to you about how you are spreading a rumor about us being engaged. I suggest you stop that immediately."Selene pouts even more, her dissatisfaction evident. "You and I are the perfect match, Xavier. I think we should make it official.""Impossible!" I growl and let go of her waist.Selene's suggestion has struck a nerve, and I can't hold back my frustration any longer. My growl echoes through the festival, drawing the a
