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
****Author note: This epilogue is written in the third person point of view so every character can be involved.**** Six year later... It is time. Alpha Xavier decides it is time to end his leadership and hand over the title to his older son, Adrian. The weight of leadership had rested heavily on his shoulders for many years, and now, he felt the time had come to pass the mantle to the next generation. "Are you sure he is ready for this?" Sylvia asks. He looks at his Luna and smiles fondly. She had been by his side through thick and thin and he trusted her advice. "Of course, my love. Our son is more than capable of leading this pack," Alpha Xavier reassures her. Sylvia sighs. "I trust your decision. And yes, you are right. Adrian is capable. And Anna is excellent as his Luna," she says with a smile on her face. "We raised our children well, don't you think?" Alpha Xavier smiles. "Yes, we did." With a heavy heart, Alpha Xavier calls for a meeting with all the pack members. The
The new information I acquired from the Faeland both amazed and shocked my parents.My mother looks at me thoughtfully. "It does make sense as to why I posses the special blood to heal wounds," she says.I nod, my mind still trying to process everything. "It seems like Fae blood runs in our family, Mom. But why didn't you ever tell me about it?"My father chimes in. "Your mother and I had no idea."My mother reaches out and places a hand on my cheek. "We love you, Adrian. I wouldn't hide something like this on purpose.""I understand, Mom, Dad. But now that I know, I want to learn more about this Fae power within me. I want to use it for good, just like I did in Faerieland today."My parents exchange glances, and my father finally nods. "You're right, Adrian. There has to be a way to harness your hidden powers.""By the way, how was your date? Do you love Anna yet?" my sister chimes in.I chuckle at my sister's question, which comes out of nowhere in the midst of this serious conversa
Anna looks at me, her eyes filled with determination. "We have to help them, Adrian. We can't let these evil creatures harm these Faeries."I nod in agreement, and we quietly devise a plan. We'll use our werewolf abilities to our advantage. I'll create a diversion to draw the attention of the Dark Fae away from the vulnerable group, while Anna will lead the women and children to safety.I take a deep breath and prepare to shift into my wolf form. As I do, my body undergoes a transformation, and I feel the surge of power coursing through me.I give Anna a reassuring nod, and she silently guides the terrified group away from the danger zone. Then, with a swift and silent motion, I burst out from behind the pillar, my wolf form charging at the Dark Fae.The element of surprise is on my side, and the Dark Fae warriors are momentarily taken aback. I use my agility and strength to disarm and incapacitate them, ensuring they can't harm anyone.I identify the leader and charge at him but his
"Intruder!" the Fae girl yells.She sounds like a pissed off mobster, which is really weird.But I don't have time to think about the strangeness of it all, because at that moment, dozens of Faeries fly towards us like missiles.Instinctively, I guide Anna behind me."We mean no harm," I cry out."A petite, blonde-haired Faerie flies at us with alarming speed. I manage to grab hold of her, but she looks at me furiously and whips her long, pointed ears towards my neck. She digs her sharp fingernails into my shoulders as she tries to tear out my throat."Ouch!"My cry of pain blends with Anna's shocked cry.Out of nowhere, the ground begins to crumble beneath us. We tumble over the steep embankment and fall down, down, down into a pit of black, inky darkness.As we land with a thud at the bottom, I realize that my shoulder is bleeding profusely from the Faerie's attack. I look around in panic. Is Anna hurt?But thankfully, she was right next to me and appeared to be fine.Anna looks aro
It has been a week since Anna and I got married, and our relationship has been confusing to say the least. I still can't figure out my feelings for her. I know seeing her with another man made me burn with jealousy, but so what? That doesn't mean I love her or anything!"You are an idiot," Elara comments.I groan. "This is why I don't like telling you anything. How am I an idiot?" I ask and glare at her.Elara rolls her eyes and takes a sip of her drink. "You're an idiot because you're in denial. You don't get that jealous over someone unless you care about them more than you're willing to admit."I lean back in my chair, crossing my arms. "I don't know what you're talking about. It's just a stupid, irrational feeling.""Is that what you really believe, Adrian?" Elara challenges me.Ugh...I don't know!Over the next few days, I couldn't shake off the conversation with Elara. She had a way of cutting through my stubbornness and making me confront my emotions head-on. Every time I see
"See? That's what I'm saying!" Richie exclaims. "You don't need someone like him. He doesn't deserve you and doesn't appreciate you. He will keep hurting you, Anna."Oh, this asshole is trying to get hurt now, I say to myself.Anna wipes her tears away. "Yes, you are right. Adrian doesn't deserve me at all.""Then let's be together," Richie says and pulls her closer to him. To my utter disgust, he pressed his lips to hers and kissed her.So that's it? Is she just going to let him have her because I pushed her away? We are married, damn it!'Rip that asshole a new one,' my wolf growls inside, and I can't agree more. I let out a thunderous growl and jumped in front of them.Richie jumps back, shocked. Anna's eyes widen in fear, and I can smell the shock radiating off her. But my gaze is fixed on Richie. My wolf bares his teeth, ready to attack."You stay away from her," I snarl, my voice low and dangerous.Richie stumbles back, trying to put some distance between us. "Man, chill. I was
I don't remember when I fell asleep after our lovemaking, but when I woke up next, Anna wasn't lying next to me anymore.I rub my eyes and look around the room groggily but don't get up. I don't feel like waking up as my body is still humming with pleasure. I want to stay in bed all day.Anna invades my mind unwillingly as I picture her from last night.Her soft skin, her scent. The way she moaned..."Good morning, my husband!"Anna's shrill voice shakes me out of my trance. I groan. "What?""I brought you some breakfast, my beloved. Let's eat together," she chirps, and I see the tray in her hands.I sit up reluctantly and take the tray she brought me. I can smell the aroma of freshly baked bread, and my stomach rumbles in response. She brings out a cup of steaming hot coffee and hands it to me. Anna watches me with a satisfied smile as I slowly sip on the coffee.My gaze shifts to the breakfast. Slices of French toast drizzled with honey, accompanied by some freshly cut fruit. The si
I cough nervously. I can feel my own member turning hard as I mentally prepare myself for what's to come. Shit...what did I get myself into just now? "T...take off your panties," I instruct. Anna gives me a small nod. She gathers the skirt of her wedding gown and pulls it up a bit, then slides her underwear down. Her face is completely red, even the back of her neck. It's kind of cute, seeing her get flustered like this! Am I...being taken over by my sexual desire? No! I can't let that happen! But my penis is getting harder by the minute. I turn away from Anna and gasp. "What's wrong?" she asks, her voice is small and she sounds embarrassed. "Nothing. Is it completely off?" I ask. "Yes. What do I do now?" she asks, her voice is barely audible. "Just spread your legs," I reply. "Okay," she replies. I feel my penis move through my pajama pants and stand erect in front of her. Anna's eyes follow its motion and light up strangely, but she doesn't comment on it. My heart is racing i
The ceremony begins as the sun sets and the full moon rises in the night sky.I am standing in front of Anna, who is dressed in her wedding gown and her hair all done up. We are surrounded by our pack, who are here to celebrate our union.The union I don't want.But does it matter what I want anymore? No, it doesn't, at least not to my family and Anna's.This is some serious bullshit!Anna is staring at me intently with a small smile on her lips. Her eyes are twinkling under the moonlight. I'll have to admit...she looks amazing in her floor-length dress and blushing bride makeup. But despite her looking like a princess, I wanted to choke her little scrawny neck because she could've tried to stop this!I can hear the murmurs of the pack, their excitement for the upcoming joining ceremony. It's an old tradition that's been passed down from generation to generation. But as I stand here, waiting for my turn to exchange vows with Anna, I feel sick to my stomach."Don't throw up, Adrian," A
