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
Alright fine.I suppose I should be the bigger person and apologize to Lola for hurting her badly.So after Alpha Xavier 'punished' me, I set off to Lola's house to see how she was doing.Taking a deep breath and mustering the courage to do what's right, I leave Alpha Xavier's room and head towards Lola's house.As I arrive at Lola's house, I hesitate for a moment at the doorstep. I can't help but wonder how she'll react to my presence after our violent confrontation. I know she probably won't just accept me as her friend, but that's not the point right now.With a determined mindset, I knock on the door and wait, my heart pounding in my chest. After a few moments, the door opens, revealing Lola with a bandaged face, a visible reminder of our fight. Her expression turns angry when she sees me."What are you doing here?" she barks."Lola," I say softly, my voice filled with genuine remorse. "I came here to apologize. Can we talk?"Lola studies me for a moment, her eyes searching for si
****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
