I was almost halfway through the thin diary when there was a knock on my bedroom door. I closed the precious diary, put it on the side, out of sight, and then went to get the door.

“You didn’t come back,” Eli said accusingly, his eyes slightly narrowed at me in mock anger.

“I figured since I missed a big chunk of the movie, it wouldn’t make sense anymore,” I told him with a shrug.

“Jade, I’m going to say this with your best interests in mind,” he began almost hesitantly. And Eli wasn’t one to hesitate usually. “Don’t get attached to the alpha.”

I was slightly taken aback at that statement of his. Was I that obvious? Did he catch us in the act?

“He’s the alpha,” I told him dismissively. “I’m just…”

I trailed off, at a loss for words. I knew that saying I was the plaything of the month wouldn’t sit well with him. But I preferred knowing where I stood. I wasn’t anyone special to the alpha, no matter if I started developing feelings for him or not.

“I just don’t want to see you hurt,” he

    My hand gripped the towel anxiously as Alex took another step forward, and I took another one back, only to hit the wall. He closed the distance between us, and I – lo and behold – whimpered. “I’d never hurt you, love,” he said gruffly, his eyes taking me in hungrily before settling on my face again. “I just want to make a few things clear.” I nodded, wondering why he had to get into my personal space to talk, but loving the way he invaded it nonetheless. I gulped down my dread and looked him in the eyes, as if to urge the man to go on and be done already. With the knuckles of his right hand, he caressed my cheek. I drew in a sharp breath. “I’ll be straightforward, Jade. I hate seeing you around Eli and Tyler, acting so cozy, so casual.” “They’re my friends,” I told him in a tone that didn’t come out as firm as I would have wanted it. “They’re horny unmated wolves,” he countered immediately. I wanted to tell him that he, too, was a horny unmated wolf, but didn’t dare to point o

  • The Alpha's Possession    17. More Than A Crush

    After Alex pleasured me like there was no tomorrow, he straightened up and put himself back together. I could not believe I was barely a step away from having him take my v card though we both resisted the urge. I was just glad, however, that my parents were still on duty for my moans would have surely been hard to explain.His eyes were oh so soft on me, and I almost deluded myself into believing there was something special between us. But I wasn’t an idiot. I knew that I was just the plaything of the month. I knew that no matter our chemistry, I shouldn’t fall for him… only my crush for the man was so much more than just a crush nowadays. And I feared for my heart. I was utterly scared of the heartbreak to come.As I slipped on a night gown, he bent forward and placed a soft kiss on my lips.“Kindly behave from now on, love. I’d hate to have to take over my knees and spank you in front of your friends.”I whimpered and throbbed with need at that, and he merely smirked in response. A

    It was Friday afternoon, a few hours before the Moon Ball. Tyler and I had just finished sparring and were headed to the packhouse when a convoy reached it. One flamboyant red sports car stood out among the black SUV.Soon enough, Alex and his parents were at the door of the packhouse, welcoming the guests in.The door of the sports car opened at long last, revealing a curvy brunette who could not be a day older than twenty. She wore her hair long and had sparkling baby blue eyes.A few quick steps and she was flinging herself at Alex who sidestepped just in time, thus making her stumble.Another stalker, I thought to myself with a snort.“Xander,” she whined, much like a child who had been denied candy.“Myra,” he greeted her coolly.And then, he avoided her touch as if it burnt him. But she was much too persistent and decided to glue herself to his side.I rolled my eyes inwardly as Tyler and I made our way into the pack house. Alex had been busy and we had barely interacted at all

  • The Alpha's Possession    19. Dressed To Seduce

    Having made no female friends at this new pack, I could only rely on mom to do my make-up for me after I had styled my long hair in ringlets. When I stared at my reflection in the mirror, my usually dull brown eyes looked almost like deep molten chocolate. I was wearing comfortable golden sandals. As per my agreement with mom, I would not be forced into high heels just for a damned irrelevant ball. The dress, though I hated to admit it, was exquisite. The upper half of it looked much like a corset, crème in color, and it had the knack to make my breasts look bigger than they really were. From the waist down to my ankles, the dress flowed into beautiful cascades of gold. In my opinion, I truly looked seductive. And I couldn’t help but wonder how alpha dearest would react. Just the thought of him drove me wild with need. I was beyond desperate for a touch. It had been too long. But I shall fight this chemistry I had with the alpha. I was sure I was nothing special to him. I should the

    I could barely wrap my head around the fact that I had blurted out my feelings to Alex in a moment of weakness. The man pushed all my buttons and I ended up making a fool of myself. I followed him into the packhouse, up the stairs, and was only mildly surprised when we didn’t stop at the second floor, where my room was. Instead, we went to the fifth floor – the alpha’s floor. He led me through a hallway, and we only stopped at a wooden door that seemed to divide the floor in two sections. “This is my personal wing,” he announced matter-of-factly. He opened the door and I found myself staring at a spacious living room that was elegantly decorated. No sooner had he closed the door did we hear heels clinking on the floor. I stiffened at once and saw from the corner of my eyes that Alex sported a scowl. I heard her scathing remark before I even saw her, “Did you really have to entertain that child all night long, Xander?” I knew Myra must be talking about me. Who else had he had glu

    “While I do care for you greatly, love, I’m not one to take well to provocation,” he let out half huskily half angrily as he regarded me with a passion-filled stare. I watched with rapt attention as he removed his tie and opened a few buttons of his dress shirt.“I didn’t mean to anger you, Alex,” I told him meekly.He nodded at me. “I believe you. That being said, you still earned yourself a spanking.”I whimpered in response, not knowing what to say to him, to appease him. “I…” I stammered on the words. “I don’t care for Parker.”His eyes flashed black for a second before he growled out at me, “You better not.”And then, he sat on the edge of the bed and told me matter-of-factly as he patted his lap, “Get out of that dress and then get over here, little one.”I whimpered again but quickly obliged him. Seeing as the dress didn’t allow for a bra, I was soon enough in nothing but my panties. I did my best to cover my breasts and then laid on his lap, my flushed face against the bed, my

    Denying jade was the most difficult thing I had to do. Waking up next to her, however, was the best feeling ever. She was so beautiful, I felt blessed to be her mate. But naturally, I wasn’t whipped just because of her looks. She was such a kind and compassionate woman, that it definitely made her perfect luna material.While I realized rather late that she had not managed to befriend many pack members, I was sure that with what happened during the moon ball, it would prove even more difficult for her. I just hoped she wouldn’t hate me for it. I loved her with every fiber of my being, and it took a lot of willpower on my part to hold back. I didn’t want to scare her away, only choosing to show her the passion I had for her.Needless to say, with my wolf threatening to take over and claim her at any given moment, I was cautiously threading on dangerous territory.I trailed my knuckles across her cheek lovingly and then left the bed. It just wouldn’t do for her to wake up and find me st

  • The Alpha's Possession    23. Flustered

    The breakfast Alex roped me into attending was rather unpleasant. It lacked spontaneity with all the decorum between the alphas. And then, there was Myra of course. She naturally ogled his bare chest and I almost growled out loud at her. I had to drink juice to keep myself from acting like a possessive mate – which I wasn’t.It almost felt as if no amount of humiliation would make her stay away from Alex. She even went as far as to request to extend her stay by a week. He shot her request down immediately. And for that, I was glad.On another note, I was rather surprised by his parents’ reaction – or lack of – to my being by his side. I was expecting more of a resistance, some bullying too. But then again, we had an audience, so maybe they were just waiting for the right opportunity to do so. I was after all wolfless for all intents and purposes, and he was an alpha. Surely, such a match wouldn’t sit well with them.And because of this insecurity I harbored, I was positively terrified

    Alex’s pov:Ever since Jade’s father passed away, we had not been intimate… and no, I meant more than just sex. Even the usual morning kiss became a little bit of a chore to her, it would seem.I was trying to give her time and space, not knowing what went through that beautiful head of hers… And that might have been quite the mistake!Indeed, in hindsight, I realized that giving her space and time allowed doubt to fester. And trust was fundamental in any relationship.I was thinking of taking her on a date, seeing as it had been quite some time since our last one. I was about to start making arrangements, and even call her, when there was a knock on the door of my office.I straightened up, sensing Camelia, and wondered if today was the day she would bear good news for me.As per usual, before long, her overly potent perfume permeated the air, and I had the urge to open a window, but I didn’t, knowing that she had caught a cold.“Hello, Xander,” she greeted me softly, her eyes twinkl

    Jade’s pov:Soon enough, a couple of weeks went by since my dad’s passing, and Trevor had become my shadow. I believed that Alex, being Alex, only trusted his third-in-command to protect me. Alex’s meetings with Camelia were starting to bother me if I were to be honest. Not only was the witch an attention seeker, but also a cunning woman. She was trying desperately to get as much time with Alex as she could… and while I could understand their need to talk strategy, in an attempt to find a solution to the manipulated rogues issue, did it really have to be on a one-to-one basis? My jealousy was definitely having a field day, and I wasn’t happy about it. I had gone to the training grounds to let off some steam, too irked by the situation to do anything else, moreso because I couldn’t object to it – I didn’t have it in me to be a diplomat after all. And now that I was back to the pack house, I was just about to enter Alex’s office, when Luc caught my attention, near the door. The man

  • The Alpha's Possession    54. A Hard Pill

    Jade’s pov:I could understand that my father’s funeral represented an occasion for our pack to know where some of the other packs stood. The beta of The Howling Wolf pack had already made their position quite clear, so I had no qualms sending him away… But that was not why I was preoccupied. I was troubled by the way mom had disappeared into a corner halfway through the funeral. I was anxious to know what Camelia’s endgame was. I was also worried about the future of the pack for many understandable reasons.And to further add to my list of worries, I didn’t know what the future had in store for me and Alex, and our baby.Through the next 3 days, Trevor remained with me whether Alex was beside me or not. And I found his loyalty absolutely endearing, though admittedly he might have been following orders.“Luna Jade,” Trevor began in a feeble tone of voice that was so unlike him, I feared his next words. “Your mother has collapsed and has been taken to the clinic.”I stilled, almost una

    Jade’s pov:I was at the funeral, crying as to be expected… and even though I was supposed to be at ease among the pack, with people who loved me, I wasn’t.The same unusual smell from Alex’s office caught me unaware during the funeral, and I found myself trying to find the person whose very scent I had yet to memorize… and it turned out that it came from none other than Camelia.If there was one way to describe it, I would say there was some potent jasmin in the mix, though that wasn’t all there was to it.And though I tried to be reasonable and trust Alex, the fact remained that her perfume was too much for me at the moment, and it also grated on my nerves for some reason.Don't let this witch upset you, my wolf growled in my mind. We must think about our pup.Her reminder gave me back some of my lucidity. I had been planning to pounce on her, and strangle her till she admitted what she was here for, but my wolf's input brought me back to my senses.It was audacious of her to show u

    Jade’s pov:I came to the feeling of a pleasurable butterfly caress on the back of my hand. It was kind of unusual, seeing as Alex usually caressed my back during my sleep, but I brushed it off.I came to, after the most terrible nightmare, and I realized I needed to make sure it wouldn't come to pass, ever.“What are you doing up, Alex? It's still early,” I grumbled sleepily, my voice hoarse as one who had slept a lot.“Jade,” mom’s voice reached me even as the hand covering mine tightened ever so slightly.“Mom?” I mumbled and then opened my eyes at long last.I found myself in a room so white it was grating on my nerves. I was in one of the clinic’s rooms, and yet I had no recollection of what might have brought me here.What was going on?“Mom?” I began tentatively, not quite sure how to formulate my thoughts.“Mrs Falls, please call for the nurse,” Alex, who was holding my hand tenderly, preciously, as if to never let go, let out in a weary tone.I looked into his vivid green eye

    Alex’s pov: The way Jade stiffened in my lap for a moment, before she burst out in tears was worrying me. She appeared to be in shock – though it was understandable. “You don’t mean that, Luc. That can’t be. It has to be a mistake,” she was telling him frantically in between tears. She then shot out of my lap before I could hold her, and went to Luc, “This isn’t a good joke, Luc…” She shook him and he allowed her to do as she pleased. Her sorrow was almost suffocating me, and yet there was nothing I could do but simply be around for her – for as long as she would need me. “It’s not a joke, Jade,” he said in a hushed bleak tone of voice. “I am so sorry for your loss.” She was startled back and let his hand go as if the very small skin contact burnt her deeply. “But dad was such a strong warrior,” she objected. “How could it be? How did it happen?” “The patrollers were outnumbered, but had the attack covered efficiently for a moment. Then, one of the rogues went for Silas, and

    Jade’s pov: There was nothing quite as disheartening as having an argument with one’s significant other. Though if I were to be honest, I wasn’t even sure how it escalated that quickly. The visiting alphas had left while I was on the training grounds, and for that I was glad… I felt like I could breathe more easily without being the main attraction. I could be myself around the pack, no matter if I trusted everyone or not. I knew that my dad was on patrol duty tonight but mom wasn’t. I mind-linked her at once, “Where are you, mom?” “Your father’s out on patrol duty but I am in our room,” she told me without delay, almost as if sensing my urgency. “I am coming,” I told her in a soft tone. The moment I caught sight of her, sitting on the bed, waiting for me, tears fell down my eyes. “Oh, Jade, sweetheart, what’s wrong?” She cooed as she rose to her feet, and hugged me at once. I shook my head negatively and merely nuzzled her, needing the comfort only she could give me. When I

    Jade’s pov: The alphas and their convoy stayed for a couple of days, during which Alex barely had time to breathe. Naturally, Luc had a lot on his plate as well. And since Trevor wasn’t around, Eli and Tyler had been given the task to look after me. I truly felt like a precious doll made of the finest porcelain. And though I liked being cherished by Alex, I didn’t feel comfortable having so many people look after me… But it was what it was, especially considering I was a late bloomer – when it came to getting a wolf at least. “How stubborn can you be, J?” Eli clicked his tongue in disapproval as he caught sight of me in the training grounds, alone, when it was barely past sunset. Tyler’s comment was more understanding, “Even if you need time alone to think, you could have us around, not too far away?” “I didn’t want to trouble you,” I said on a sigh before hitting the dummy one last time. “Jade,” Eli began in earnest, and I looked in his direction at once, “I know that you might

    Alex’s pov: It was close to 6 pm when Alpha Kade arrived. He came with his third-in-command and a couple of warriors. And he was the first one out of the two allies. Jade was slightly stiff, as she stood next to me, while we welcomed him onto our land. His hazel eyes weren’t guarded, as I would have expected them to be. On the contrary, he sported an easy smile and gave me a sideways hug. “Always been a hugger,” I let out teasingly. “It is good to see you, alpha Alexander,” he began in a nostalgic tone of voice, before focusing his gaze on my beautiful mate, “You must be his Luna.” “I am indeed,” she offered him a little bit of an awkward smile. “Welcome to the pack.” “Thank you,” he said, observing her for a moment longer than I appreciated, before telling me, “You’re in quite the situation, Xander.” “Let’s take this to my office,” I said at once with a small smile. His third-in-command followed us to the office whereas Jade, Eli and Tyler spoke to the warriors, who were han
