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

    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

    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

    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

    Jade’s pov:As I went to bed that night, I recalled everything that had happened, and couldn’t help but frown. I was a born healer, and I was inclined to believe it was a blessing… And yet, the elders acted as if I was cursed, and maybe even spreading maledictions everywhere I went. They didn’t know of all the efforts, of the sweat, of the blood, of the tears – or maybe they knew but weren’t willing to acknowledge me. Indeed, I did my absolute best to become a she-wolf whose title of Luna wasn’t lost on her. And while Alex loved me enough to overlook my flaws, it seemed like the elders only saw me as a nuisance.I wasn’t nearly as strong as I should be just yet, but I shall prove to them that I wouldn’t be a hindrance, that was the vow of a lifetime. Alex, who had just gotten in bed, looked at me, his gaze tender and loving, and at once, he said, “Why the long face, love?” “I…” I was at a loss for words, not because I didn’t expect him to read me so well, but because I didn’t know

    Alex’s pov:Considering word had already spread to other packs, I knew I needed to officially tell the pack, and also prepare them for what was no doubt coming. If we managed to get enough trustworthy allies, war might be avoided. If not, it would be soon knocking on our doors.“Trevor,” I called for my third in command via mind-link while looking out the window.“Yes alpha?” He responded at once.“Call for a gathering of everyone,” I commanded without delay. “Tonight at 8 pm.”“When you say everyone…?” He began hesitantly.“I mean literally everyone, from the elderly to the toddlers,” I confirmed. “Save for the patrollers on duty naturally.”“Is something wrong, alpha?” He asked at once, and I could sense his dread through the mind-link.“Not yet, I’d say,” I responded. “But everything considered, I can’t keep the pack in the dark.”“Ah I see. I will spread the word, alpha,” he then declared, seemingly less tense. “I believe the pack will take it well. Luna Jade is nothing short of a

    Jade’s pov:As I stood next to Alex, I felt my heart flutter and squeeze in anxiousness for the first time in a while. We were about to tell the pack the truth about my being a born healer. We wouldn’t want unease to keep festering among the pack, after what they heard about Jessica. Her parents had made it their mission to spread false rumors about their precious daughter, and it was all I could do not to growl at some of the whispers I heard over the past few days. My hands began to get clammy, and it was all I could do to keep the smile on my face. I loved Alex more than words could possibly explain, and I also loved the pack, but I wasn’t sure what was expected of me. I didn’t choose to be a born healer. Following this path was the only option I had. And if I could be but a regular wolf, I would choose that in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, for someone who didn’t like the spotlight, it seemed I had everything against me. Not only was I a born healer, but I was also the alpha’s luna…

    Jade’s pov: The pack began to disperse, and Alex and I were ready to go to his office when Mr Stevens stopped us, concern etched on his face, “Alpha, a word?” “Sure,” Alex said readily, and I wondered if he had expected such a thing, “follow us to the office.” The moment the door of the office clicked shut behind us, the man who showed proud airs earlier, began to ask in a desperate voice, “Why aren’t we allowed to visit Jessica?” Alex raised an eyebrow at the question before saying calmly, “Because she has committed treason, and is only at the dungeons while she waits for her trial.”“You don’t mean that, alpha?” The man almost sounded broken at that point even though his eyes were anything but. Then, turning to glare at me, he added, “After being your partner for a couple of years, it is only normal that she found it hard to accept the newcomer as your fated mate.” I had to hold back a scoff of disbelief. “She knew what she was getting into, but then again her greed for the Lun

    Jade’s pov:There was absolutely nothing quite as blissful as waking up in your mate’s arms. Alex had exhausted himself as of late. Nevertheless, the moment I moved ever so slightly to have a better look at his face, he stirred awake.“Go back to sleep, love,” he grumbled sleepily, his arms tightening around me ever so slightly.“It’s 5 am,” I told him in a soft tone of voice. “We have training in one hour.”“Exactly,” he said petulantly, much like a child denied candy would, “One hour to go still.”“I wanna have a shower first,” I explained before kissing the corner of his mouth.“Are you seducing me?” He opened one eye to look at me.“No, you go back to sleep, Alex,” I told him as I caressed his hair lovingly. “You’ve been having a hectic schedule lately.”“You’re too much of a temptress,” he said, no hint of sleepiness in his voice, as he stretched, and popped his neck joint, before a wicked smile played on his lips, “If I ever were to deny myself your touch, love, you need to under

    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
