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
Last Updated : 2024-09-11The Alpha's Possession 38. Long Live Luna Jade
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…
Last Updated : 2024-10-24The Alpha's Possession 39. Not Prepared
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
Last Updated : 2024-11-05The Alpha's Possession 40. No Matter What
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
Last Updated : 2024-11-11The Alpha's Possession 41. On Edge
Jade’s pov: It was Tuesday, and only 2 days remained till Jessica’s trial. I would not care so much about her, if her issue hadn’t divided the pack, thanks to her father’s ill tongue. I hated that many pack members assumed I was jealous of her past with Alex, and thus decided to take action against her… When it was quite the opposite. She was jealous of what I had with him, and thought it was a wise idea to babble about my being a born healer. I was on edge for some reason that was beyond me, but I dismissed it as nerves because of the impending unjustified war. Born healer or not, I just wanted to be Alex’s mate and luna, and live in peace… and this was tiring. I loved training, whether I was going to put my skills to use or not, and I loved listening to Alex devising strategy with Luc and Trevor, but it sometimes felt too real. My previous pack naturally caught wind of the news, and their insolence was unmathced. The beta dared to call my parents and demand answers from them. A
Last Updated : 2024-11-17The Alpha's Possession 42. Permission To Flee
Jade’s pov: “You had me worried, so damn much, I wonder what kind of punishment would be most appropriate to you…” Alex all but chewed my head off. I could understand his worry. Hell, what annoyed me the most was that their reasoning made a lot of sense… But it was still a hard pill to swallow. When he was done, I said stubbornly, “I was born to two proud warriors, and I will be damned if I let a couple of rogues frighten me into hiding.” He heaved a sigh and then said, pinching the bridge of his nose, “I know, love. Don’t get me wrong. I know you can handle yourself, but my wolf wouldn’t let me fight with a clear head if I knew you to be in danger.”“Sounds to me like it is your wolf who needs some discipline,” I said only half teasingly, to which I heard a chuckle from behind. My eyes widened as I recalled that we were not alone. I needed to mind my tone and my words if I wanted to avoid conflict. Alex pinned Luc with his chilliest gaze, and the beta was soon saying in an apolo
Last Updated : 2024-11-22The Alpha's Possession 43. Camelia
Jade’s pov: That night, Alex made love to me like a man possessed, with an urgency that was unparalleled. And I met him passion for passion, thrust for thrust, and screamed his name when we finally hit our climax. As I laid, sated, next to the man I loved, I knew that even though our love ran strong, happiness might not be everlasting. “A penny for your thoughts, love?” He let out as he kept drawing lazy sensual patterns on my back, his arm draped over my waist possessively. “Do you think Jessica will cause problems for us?” I asked in a soft tone of voice. He nodded at once, “We should be prepared for the worst indeed.” “The worst being?” I asked while peering up into his deep green eyes. “Do you think this is the best pillow talk?” He chuckled. I couldn’t help but pout at the way he deflected. True, it wasn’t the best topic, but was I supposed to hold everything in? He seldom gave satisfactory answers, all because he wanted to protect me, and I wondered what he could be hidin

The Alpha's Possession 84. His Vow
Jade’s pov:The revelations made by Alex felt almost like a story out of this world. Even though he had been tortured, he hadn’t given in, not one iota… and it was precisely because of his resilience that they chose to entrust him with a perilous task.He didn’t go into the details of how he got the evidence he needed against the queen, but I could understand that some things weren’t to be discussed. And at the end of the day, all that mattered to me was that he was back among us.“I missed you,” I choked on the words, with unshed tears stinging my eyes. “May we never get separated again!”“May we never get separated again, love,” he nodded at me, as if he was making a vow, not merely repeating my words.“We should probably send word to our allies about your safe return,” Trevor then let out softly.“I will call them myself,” Alex supplied, a small smile stretching his lips, before he added, “I never thought I would miss the paperwork or the formalities of everything that comes with th
The Alpha's Possession 83. A Failure?
Jade’s pov: The elders were as loathsome as ever, and had made sure to tell me just how useless I was as a Luna. It was our third meeting this week, and they kept stressing over the fact that a pack without its alpha was a pack that could not function properly. As if I didn’t know that already. Luna Sherry and Alpha Kade had to leave the day prior back to their territory, but after telling me repeatedly to reach out to them should there be any news, or if I were to need any help. Looking at the elders, who were actually part of the pack, I felt bile rise in my throat. Oh, heavens only knew how much I was itching for a fight. But I couldn’t. Not only was my wolf basically dormant, nurturing the baby within me, but also because I didn’t care for the mess that would surely follow. “We are talking in circles,” one of them muttered, his eyes spitting fire at me. “We need to take action. We haven’t received any news in regards to Alpha Alexander’s trial, or any other news…” “I won’t t
The Alpha's Possession 82. Best Shot
Jade’s pov: Upon contacting Alpha Ian, he said that he would do his best to assist me in these dire times, just not openly so – no doubt for fear of backlash from the Alpha King. And I understood his reasons all too well. He had a pack to protect, and I would be silly to take offense at that. Alpha Kade, on the other hand, was immediately alarmed by the news of Alex’s imprisonment, and had offered to come visit the pack at once, in the hopes to talk strategy with Luc, Trevor and me. I was currently at the entrance of the pack house as I waited for his and Luna Sherry’s arrival.His mate, absurdly sweet and supportive, had declared that we would be calling one another at 7 pm tops, everyday, without fail. Our conversations varied, and I could feel that she was doing her best to cheer me up. Today marked day 7 since Alex was taken from me and his pack, and we had yet to hear any word from the Alpha King, as to when he would be facing trial. The wait was maddening, and it was all I co
The Alpha's Possession 81. The Offer
Alex’s pov:The Alpha King had an unreadable expression as he looked at me, before a smirk broke out on his face. I didn’t know why but the smirk rubbed me off the wrong way. Nevertheless, I couldn’t break our eye-contact.I was no longer bound by the rules which dictated that I should be mindful of my manners when facing him. But as I remembered my sweet beloved, I averted my gaze, knowing that while he couldn’t go beyond killing me or torturing me to no end, he could hurt Jade.And that wasn’t an option.“You’re not broken,” he let out in an even tone of voice. “I am impressed.”That had the knack to make my eyebrows shoot up in my hairline. Was he taunting me or telling the truth? And to what end was he saying this to me?The sound of other footsteps soon filled the silence that had stretched between us. And before long, Marc, his beta appeared.“You’re quite resilient, Alpha Alexander,” Marc let out the moment he saw me. “But what I like the most about you is how quick-witted you a
The Alpha's Possession 80. The Affront
Jade’s pov:Naturally, because luck was never on my side, the first thing I had to deal with, upon reaching the pack, was the elders.Though I had expected some kind of confrontation, I didn’t believe I was ready for one just yet. I needed time to process everything that had happened over the course of the past 24h, and had many things on my plate already.But they weren’t lenient enough to allow me the time to even breathe.“Let’s talk in the conference room,” Jeremiah, the most daring one in my opinion, let out without so much as a preamble.I didn’t like the way he formulated his sentence, but now wasn’t the time to be a nitpicking wolf.“The luna has just arrived,” Luc spoke up at once, beating me to the punch… and it was for the best, because the scathing answer I had at the tip of my tongue would land me in nothing but trouble. “Surely the meeting can wait.”“It wasn’t a request,” was the retort we received.I raised an eyebrow, and felt my tiredness fade away as anger washed ove
The Alpha's Possession 79. The Verdict
Jade’s pov:Beta Marc was naturally intimidating – with a no-nonsense attitude which was half-frightening and half-infuriating – and possibly moreso because of the deep scowl, which only seemed to disappear whenever he interacted with Paulina and Anna.I had naturally heard the rumors. He had lost his pregnant mate a few years back, and had vowed to remain celibate since then. Though, to be fair, I believed he had a soft spot for Paulina.But now, he appeared as the most frightening foe ever.We were in the Alpha King’s territory, and Alex had had to attack his guards, seeing as they were ready to do the queen’s bidding and throw us all in the dungeons – to do heavens only knew what.I knew the situation was not in our favor, and Alex was ready to take the fall for it, provided I got the chance to leave this damned place. I wanted to do anything to prevent that from happening, but I knew deep down that I was powerless to do anything really.I hated the feeling with passion, and I could
The Alpha's Possession 78. A Bleak Future
Alex’s pov:I was happy to see my beautiful Jade up and about. And seeing her interact with Anna, the sweet child who had warmed up to her, made something bloom in my chest. I could picture her with our own child, playing with him, cooing at him softly… The images were comforting given the circumstances, and yet bittersweet at the same time – as I might not be a part of their future.I watched her and Anna laugh merrily, almost unaware of the looming danger. She was not carrying just an alpha, but the alpha of alphas. And although the Alpha King might have taken the news well, the queen, his mother, most definitely did not… Possibly, moreso because The Alpha King had yet to be mated.There was so much to do and say, but all I knew was that we needed some kind of break and alone time too.Cole, I mind-linked the warrior who had tagged along as my driver, Watch out outside the room for any threats. I need to have a word with your Luna.Yes, alpha, was his immediate answer, as he stepped
The Alpha's Possession 77. Far Too Calm
Jade’s pov: I felt like I was at peace, and yet something in the back of my mind kept telling me I was forgetting something of great importance. Realizing I had basically passed out, in the middle of the chaos that followed the fall of the barrier, I woke up with a jolt. I sat straight, eyes wide, breathing labored, and I vaguely heard someone tell me, “It’s okay, love.” Love? Love? I mentally repeated, a little bit too numb to function or think for a moment there. That could only be Alex, and tears gathered in my eyes as I looked around for him, and saw him sitting on a chair next to the bed I woke up in. I was familiar with the room. And knowing I was still at the Alpha King’s palace made me feel anxious to leave already. “Don’t cry, love,” he drawled as he drew patterns over the top of my hand, and I felt the tingles that followed, and which were as pleasurable as ever. Heavens, I missed him! “The baby?” I asked as I put my hand over my slightly bulging belly. “The baby
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,
