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
I am in heat.The heat radiates off my body, and I can feel an insatiable craving burning in my veins, begging to be sated. My mate stands before me, a tempting offering that I know will only stoke the flames of my hunger further.Desperate for release, I can barely contain myself as I struggle to resist caving into my overpowering urges.My soul cries out for union, and I know that nothing will satisfy me until we are connected.And now he is on top of me, our bodies pressed together as he grinds against me, and I can't take it anymore. "Please, Alpha Xavier. Take me now," I breathe. My plea is a primal cry, a yearning so deep that it drowns out all reason, leaving only the raw, insatiable craving for him.I reach out to touch him, running my fingers over his skin, and he lets out a low growl.This is what I've been waiting for, what I've needed since the first moment I laid eyes on him. My wolf is nearly bursting with anticipation.The Alpha's hips press against mine, and the bulge
"It's not what you think," I say firmly, even though it's exactly what Amelia thinks. But I am not about to confirm it for her."I see how Alpha Xavier favors you over everyone else. I am not blind, Sylvia. But it's okay. I don't blame you for clinging to him. He is a powerful man, and he will give you things no one else can't," Amelia said."I don't know what you're talking about, Amelia. But I can't stay here and chat all day," I say, keeping my guard up."Oh, of course. I will let you get back to work," she says and steps aside.As I walk away from Amelia, I can feel her eyes burning into my back.'Amelia is a bitch and she needs to be taught a lesson,' Lilliana says to me."I am not teaching anyone anything. I just want to get through the day," I scold her.'Oh, Sylvia. I think it is best that you tell everyone that Alpha Xavier is your mate, and you have every right to be with him,' Lilliana says.I sigh to myself. Part of me wants to announce it to the world, but the other part
Alpha XavierWhen I woke up this morning, Sylvia was already gone.Of course, she left. She loves me so much that she just couldn't stand being in the same room anymore. 'Maybe she left because your snoring got too loud,' Xander joked."Fuck off, Xander," I groan. It was too early for his torment.'Oh, I know. She left because the sex was blah,' Xander went on."I am not listening to your bullshit," I murmur, then get out of bed. 'Come on, you know I'm right,' Xander whispers."I'm going to kick in your head if you don't knock it off," I grumble.'And yet, you continue to listen,' Xander chortled."What the hell is wrong with me?" I ask aloud as I start getting ready for work.I look at myself in the mirror, and I don't hate what I see. I am a decent-looking guy, I think. And I am the damn Alpha! Yet, I'm having to chase my own mate around.'Oh, she must have left because you have a small dick,' my wolf chirps."That's it, I am putting you to sleep," I declare and mumble a spell to s
I am standing in front of Alpha Xavier, my skin crawling with nerves. I know why he called me over now. Lola complained about me to the elders, so I was here to be punished for my behavior. This time, I can't even blame anyone but myself."Sylvia," he says. "Do you know why I called you here?""Yes, Alpha," I say softly."And why is that?" he asks, arching his eyebrows and looking at me steadily."It's about Lola, isn't it?" I reply. "You're here to punish me for attacking her."His lips curl into a small smile. "Smart girl. Yes. That's exactly why I'm here. I heard about the fight you two had. You did a number on that poor girl. Do you deny that allegation?""No, Alpha. She is telling the truth. I attacked her and injured her badly," I confess.Alpha Xavier's expression remains calm as he listens to my confession. It's a strange mix of relief and dread, knowing that I'm finally owning up to my actions, yet fully aware of the consequences that will follow."I appreciate your honesty,
My heart hammered against my chest as I obeyed Alpha Xavier's command and bent down to the table. It is time for my punishment. Alpha Xavier leaned in closer as he spoke, his voice low and commanding."Lift your skirt up," he said. His words sent a shiver through me, the anticipation of something unknown and forbidden racing through my veins.I hesitated for only a moment before doing as he instructed. I felt my cheeks flush with embarrassment as I slowly raised the hem of my dress, feeling exposed and vulnerable in the silence of the room.Alpha Xavier looked down at me, his expression unreadable. He ran his finger along the edge of the table, leaving a faint trail of dust as it moved."Are you ready for your punishment, Sylvia?" he husks.I gulped nervously, my heart beating faster in my chest. I have no idea what he has in store for me, but I know I deserve it. "Yes, Alpha Xavier," I whisper, my voice barely audible in the tense silence of the room.He steps back, his gaze intense
