The Alpha's Possession 28. Loyalty
Coming to my senses had never been as weird. I felt as if my consciousness had been floating about and my waking up was like my landing. The moment I moved my hand a little, I felt someone squeeze it back.And then I felt sparks or rather acknowledged them. The feeling was so foreign and yet absolutely and undeniably pleasurable. For a moment there I didn’t know what these sparks meant. And then, it hit me. I was feeling my mate’s touch. This was Alex.Oh my god! I mentally exclaimed. Alex! The rogues! What happened?I opened my eyes and my mate’s loving gaze.“You gave me a scare, love,” he told me in a tone that was only half reprimanding. “I have never felt that a few hours could be so long.”“I didn’t mean to worry you,” I croaked out, my voice raspy, trying to convey my feelings to him by holding his gaze captive.“Thank you, luna,” someone began and I tore my gaze away from my mate’s. I saw that Trevor was also in the room - he and Luc both. “Thank you for saving me from death.”

The healers, who had been busy trying to save Trevor before I intervened, had naturally had a talk with Alex before I woke up. They had sworn to keep my secret safe.While my mate was only too happy to tell the pack about my wolf, they didn’t need to know about my being a born healer just yet, according to him. And since I trusted the man, not only with my heart, but with my very existence, I let him call the shots. The full moon was tomorrow, and I was still amazed by the sparks each time I felt them. They were so pleasurable, I believed I could never properly get used to them. It was so unsettling, but in a good sense. So, I wasn't complaining. As for the feelings I harbored for Alex, my wonderful loving mate, they heightened and made me feel like I was close to bursting at the seams. All I could say was that no one compared to him in my book. I could only imagine how much self-control he must have exerted not to claim me as his from day one... the mate bond truly was something el
Last Updated : 2023-11-05The Alpha's Possession 30. The Shift
As a mated pair, it was only natural that Alex and I now wore our marks on our necks… and yet, it made me feel proud and slightly self-conscious each time someone stared at my neck. I was fairly sure he only felt pride contrarily to me. Indeed, since he had played the waiting game, it was understandable how he wasn't feeling any of my self-consciousness. Besides, marks were so common in the werewolf community that I was a bit of an odd one, according to mom that was. Admittedly, I had much more pressing issues to worry about. Tonight was the full moon, and my talkative wolf was more than ready for our first shift.The closer we were getting to the fateful hour, the more restless she was becoming. By the time the light went out and night set in, I was more worried than excited if I were to be honest.What if something went wrong? What if much like my sixteen birthday, my attempts proved to be unsuccessful? I was beyond nervous, and full of insecurities too. My 16th birthday was night

Training should have been the least of my worries. My wolf definitely had great focus and was also good speed wise. I was no way near my parents’ level but I could keep up with the training, and it turned out it wasn’t as harsh as I had expected it.We were out in the open field, and we had gathered a little bit of a crowd, mostly kids who had just finished school, and were cheering me on.All in all, if I were to be honest, training was enjoyable.“I’m proud of you, sweetheart,” my dad let out as we finished our first training session.Tears stung my eyes at that.“We’re proud of you,” my mom put emphasis on the we part. “You did incredibly well for someone who just shifted yesterday.”“You think so?” I asked, incredulous beyond words.“You’re definitely gifted,” my dad reassured me.“She’s got good genes playing for her too,” mom bumped shoulders with him, and he smiled down at her. His smile spoke louder about his love than any words could.I admired their complicity, loving the wa
Last Updated : 2024-03-01The Alpha's Possession 32. The Mole
With my wolf being as needy as ever, I had to stick to Alex’s side all through the bonfire. He didn’t mind but I wanted to mingle with the pack, and thus I had to drag him from corner to corner with me. He had a proud smile on his face through it all.“What are you so smug about, Alex?” I demanded, my eyebrows shooting up in my hairline as I turned to face him after having a talk with Eli.“What did I do now? I didn’t even breathe a word,” he countered in a light tone.“You didn’t have to,” I looked at him sideways, my eyes narrowing ever so slightly. “Don’t take me for a fool.”“I would never, love,” he said at once in earnest. “I’m just proud that my mate decided to mingle with her pack. You’re slowly but surely becoming the Luna you are meant to be.”I let out a stunned oh at that, even as I blushed furiously. I couldn’t find the adequate words to tell him as I realized I had jumped to conclusions about his smug expression. “You’re compassionate and yet strong,” he let out. “Stubbo
Last Updated : 2024-03-01The Alpha's Possession 33. Private Matters
I could sense everyone’s confusion as we reached Alex’s office, but nobody dared to say a word. They could probably sense just how upset their alpha was with them.Even my parents and his were among those who had been gathered. And while that was kind of ridiculous, I could understand why they would be called. Alexander was basically telling his pack how dire this was, and that he summoned all those who knew with no bias whatsoever.He went around his desk, but only chose to rest his arms on the backrest of the chair, while looking intently at each and everyone.“Someone here has a tongue I am dying to cut,” he thundered without so much as a hello.The confusion that followed his words was even more palpable if that was possible. Had the situation not been so serious, I would have definitely laughed at some of the expressions we got in response.“Who dared to divulge that your Luna is a born healer?” He then asked, his whole being basically trembling, and I knew he was a moment away fr
Last Updated : 2024-07-09The Alpha's Possession 34. Not Done
Jade’s pov:I didn’t know whether Alex intended to do the sneaky vixen real harm, and I didn’t believe it would be of any consequent issue really. Considering she had betrayed her alpha, and treason was usually punishable by death…Jessica was still struggling to get his hand off her neck when the door to his office opened. The elders made a dramatic entrance and the one who spoke up first was haughty – more than I would like if I were to be honest, “Alpha Alexander, have you lost your mind?”“I have my reasons,” Alex said simply without even glancing their way.“Let’s hear them,” another one supplied, the glint in his eyes making me stiffen at once.They knew more than they let on, that much was obvious, and they had it against me and Alex.“Jessica betrayed the pack,” I told them in a calm tone despite the feelings warring within me.“And how, pray tell, did she do that?” The elder went on, his question hanging in the air for a moment.I sighed and then walked to Alex, putting a soo
Last Updated : 2024-07-14The Alpha's Possession 35. Unworthy
Jade’s pov:By the time Luc returned with the change of clothes, the elders and even Alex’s parents had left. I took my mate’s beastly face in my hands, and told him in the sweetest tone I could manage, “I am okay now. We’re okay. Can you give back Alex control?”His wolf looked reluctant, as if he didn’t believe me, but soon enough the transition took place, and I helped him get dressed. Alex didn’t breathe a word out, seemingly in deep thoughts, and I didn’t dare to break the silence – not because I feared him, mind you, but because I knew he was conflicted.Alexander Bad was known for his astounding control, and such a slip must have bruised his ego… or so I guessed. He only spoke once he was fully dressed, “I lost control, and for that, I am sorry, Jade.”“Why do you even feel the need to apologize?” I asked, confused, but also feeling like my mate was taking on a burden that was far too heavy – for him, for anyone really.“Alphas need to have the best control among the pack,” he

The Alpha's Possession 76. Not Just A Kid
Alex’s pov:Soon, I was holding Jade in my arms, bridal style, while following a servant to the hallway where her room was located. Paulina had said she would probably come to on her own, and there was therefore no need to panic. Lucille, Jade’s mother, was led to the clinic, almost against her will, but I naturally sent Cole with her. I couldn’t bring myself to relax around them now that I knew they tried to hurt my mate.Paulina’s little replica, whose name I believed to be Anna, was adamant about staying with Jade, and Paulina had trouble convincing her to go to their room.“It’s okay,” I soon told Paulina. “She’s just a kid.”“Are you sure?” She asked, tilting her head to the side.“Positive.” I assured her with a small smile.“I will be in the room across from this one then,” she declared with a nod.I placed Jade on the bed softly, and seeing the sereine look on her face, I reasoned that she wasn’t in any pain.Anna stayed by the end of the bed, her eyes locked onto Jade’s face,
The Alpha's Possession 75. I Refuse To Believe That
Alex’s pov:My worry became my fuel as I fought off the guards with barely contained anger. I couldn’t allow myself to be consumed with fury, as I feared I would lose control, which would prove lethal.My wolf could tell that the danger was real, and recognized the witch and her daughter as people who needed our protection, in addition to Jade and Lucille – Jade’s mother – naturally.There was no doubt in my mind that there would be consequences to today’s chaos, but chances were that the Alpha King would not condemn his mother. The queen had naturally retreated along with her servants, and I was left to fend off the attackers.The guards were strong, almost as strong as Trevor, and they knew how to fight in a group, their movements in sync… But I was an Alpha, one of the strongest of the country, and this was my family they were threatening to harm.Even though the territory was foreign, I got the upper hand before long, and they laid wounded and passed out on the soil of the forest.
The Alpha's Possession 74. I'll Protect You
Jade’s pov: To say the queen was livid, as she saw the guards’ futile attempts at getting through to us, would be the understatement of the century. But truth be told, I couldn’t be bothered with her at the moment. She was just a deranged woman among many, and though there would be no helping her, I knew my time here was up. The guards were stopped by the barrier. Despite all their efforts to get to us, they couldn’t… But I wasn’t sure how long said barrier would last. Paulina was already beginning to pale, as it seemed to drain her of energy. They kept urging us to drop the barrier so we could talk, but we weren’t stupid enough to do as they said. Before long, Anna grabbed my hand and said in a timid voice, “Repeat after me.” I trusted the little girl enough to do as she said, and repeated the Latin words she chanted. And just as Paulina’s barrier was about to give way, another one sprung up. “You put a barrier in place?” Paulina let out in an incredulous tone of voice. She wa
The Alpha's Possession 73. A Dangerous Woman
Jade’s pov:The old hag was approaching us on steady steps, unmistakable greed and murder in her eyes, followed by two servants whom I had seen around before. There was no denying that she knew what Anna had told me earlier… If not, why would she be here in the forest, a place she had not stepped into ever since I began training here? She stopped at a distance from us and offered us a yellow, toothy smile, which was predatory at best, and which had the knack to send shivers running down my spine. The woman was dangerous, and I knew that from day 1. “Hello, Judy,” she greeted me in her mellow voice which always grated on my nerves. “It’s Jade, your highness,” I corrected her without batting an eye, knowing full well she was doing it on purpose. “I heard the news,” she let out without so much as a preamble, a devious glint appearing in her eyes. “Congratulations are in order, I guess.” I let out a crisp “Thank you” in response, because I was brought up well, and couldn’t be inso
The Alpha's Possession 72. Alpha of Alphas
Jade’s pov:2 weeks into the training, and I started having a good grasp of the concept, which up till now had been totally foreign to me. Annabelle’s diaries definitely hadn’t covered much… but then again, she must have only jotted down what she knew of, what she experienced. “Your wolf is here to guide you,” Paulina never failed to remind me. “Trust her but don’t let your instincts take over. Remember that you have witch blood in your veins. And witchcraft is all about giving something, in return for something else.” According to her – and I could only trust her since the Alpha King himself trusted her – being a born healer meant I was a wolf but also a witch. Having grown up in a pack, it was only natural that the wolf manifested first. Sometimes, the witch side of a healer could stay dormant for years. Mine was triggered because of my emotions. I didn’t understand the specifics of how this gene was passed down to me, but Paulina told me I was a light witch – all born healers we
The Alpha's Possession 71. Not Alone
Jade’s pov:My call with Alex was brief because I told him I was tired. My beloved mate didn’t hesitate to tell me to lay down and get some rest. Truth be told, I was more worried I would break down crying on the phone, because of how I missed him already.I wrung my hands together, almost painfully so, the longing almost too much to bear. From the day we found out about Jessica’s betrayal, we barely had time to ourselves.I sighed as I remembered my dad’s passing, and had a hard time keeping a positive outlook on everything going on.There was a knock on the door just as I was about to step into the bathroom for a quick shower. I sensed a werewolf, and my sense of smell told me it was mom.I didn’t think twice of it and went to get the door.“How’s the room?” She asked in a sweet albeit curious tone of voice. “Are you well settled?”“See for yourself,” was my answer as I let her in.She closed the door behind her, and soon sat on the edge of the bed, typing on her phone, before showi
The Alpha's Possession 70. A Peculiar Child
Jade’s pov: The servants looked at us with something akin to puzzlement, as mom and I walked behind the man who had brought us here. The driver followed us with our luggages trailing behind him. We might not be real guests, but they were treating us rather well. The man, who was just as impossible to read as the building was austere, turned out to be the gamma, for he had been greeted with great respect a couple of times already – Gamma Spencer, they called him. He led us to what appeared to be the dining room, where the one I recognized as the beta was sitting at a big table, a laptop in front of him. It was eerily silent, and one could almost hear a needle drop. He focused his gaze on us after a beat, his expression still that of a bored man who couldn’t care less about us. I couldn’t help but find him a tad bit haughty, and I hated overly confident people with a passion that had for only equal my hatred for liars. “Beta Marc,” the gamma let out in greetings, “As per his high
The Alpha's Possession 69. Great Friends
Jade’s pov:It was only when the car began to move, and I believed that Alex wouldn’t be able to catch my expression, that I began to sob – hard… as pathetic as that might sound. Mom patted my back a few times and told me sweet, soothing nothings, and that seemed to do the trick, for I soon quietened down a notch. Admittedly, my wolf was excited at the prospect of training, but also sad because of this forced separation, and that didn’t help. Nevertheless, she still found it in her to say, “Easy sweetheart. Don’t forget you’re pregnant, and these mood swings affect the baby.” That had the knack to make me calm down completely. I needed to see this training as nothing but a task I needed to complete, in order to stand proudly next to my beloved mate. It was the only way this whole ordeal would be more bearable. But then again, I knew that I would soon be so busy, I wouldn’t have much time to lament… and I was looking forward to it. For this wasn’t me, and I hated being a crybaby.
The Alpha's Possession 68. Be Safe
Alex’s pov: Jade was leaving today. She had a sad smile plastered on her face, and I knew I couldn’t show her just how affected I would no doubt be by the separation. I schooled my expression into a neutral one, hoping it would convince her the way I wasn’t that everything would be okay. Her mother was sitting by her side on a bench, in the gardens of the pack house, and her presence alone seemed to be the reason why Jade still had it together. I hated that I couldn’t do anything to prevent this from happening. And I hated how powerless this made me feel. I felt unworthy of my title as alpha, of my role as the protector and provider, especially when I recalled the whole Camelia fiasco. Speaking of Camelia, she had been sent to her coven, with a letter which explained her transgression, and the leftover cookie which could explain everything. She was no longer my problem. And though it saddened me that we couldn’t be friends as we used to, her betrayal stung more than it probably sho
