The Alpha's Possession 52. Shutting Down
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

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 up
Last Updated : 2024-12-13The 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
Last Updated : 2024-12-14The Alpha's Possession 55. Her Fragrance
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 w
Last Updated : 2024-12-17The Alpha's Possession 56. Foul Play
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 twinkli
Last Updated : 2024-12-19The Alpha's Possession 57. No More Secrets
Jade’s pov: As to be expected, Camelia objected at once, “You don’t know if you can trust your third in command or anyone really. Besides, you’re perfectly fine, aren’t you?” Alex seemed to ponder her words for a moment, but his eyes turned black at once, a sign that his wolf wanted to take over, “I will rip you to shreds, witch…” At that point, Luc didn’t hesitate to give her a powerful blow on the back of her head, thus rendering her unconscious. “We’re in this together. I will drink the milk and the olive oil, along with you,” I told Alex in a soothing tone of voice. He shook his head negatively, “No.” I didn’t know what he was objecting to exactly, but stood frozen in my spot, as I waited for his next words. “The baby will get hurt,” he said in his deep alpha voice, and his eyes, albeit still black like night, were definitely tender on me. “Give me that,” he then instructed Trevor, who handed him both the olive oil and the milk without delay. After drinking more than eno
Last Updated : 2024-12-20The Alpha's Possession 58. Love Language
Jade’s pov: Now that our bond sparks came back with passion, I was amazed at the feeling, almost as if I were newly mated to Alex. As I leaned against his chest, sated but also high on adrenaline – the thought of possibly getting caught being the biggest turn-on – I couldn’t help but think of everything that had occurred over the past few weeks. Ever since Camelia stepped into our lives, it seemed like we could barely talk things through. She had managed to plant the seed of doubt in me, despite my love for my mate and my devotion to the pack. “A penny for your thoughts, love?” Alex asked as he caressed my cheek lovingly. “I am angry at Camelia but also at myself,” I admitted sotto-voce. “I love you more than I could put it into words, and yet she still managed to drift us apart somehow.” Alex’s expression turned grim at once, and I inhaled deeply as I tried to keep my emotions in check. What if that damned witch had succeeded in separating us totally? What if Alex could no lon
Last Updated : 2024-12-23The Alpha's Possession 59. Not a Competition
Jade’s pov: It was happening… I truly was pregnant with Alex’s baby. I was only hit with the news, full force, as we heard the baby’s heartbeat. And as to be expected, Alex was overjoyed, whereas I had mixed feelings about this. I was young, and still craved many experiences and the freedom to make them happen… More importantly, would I be a good mother to my pup? Was I fit to raise Alex’s pup? Of course you are, my wolf chimed in at once. You’re his mate. Who else would be a better fit? I just… I tried to make sense of what I was feeling, but I couldn’t. You know, Jade. It wouldn’t hurt to trust yourself more. You are Alex’s fated Luna, and he loves you to the moon and back… so much so that he managed to fight off the effect of the potion, and was docile enough to take the milk and olive oil. “We count on your discretion, Dr Barnes,” Alex let out as words of parting. The doctor merely beamed at us, “Naturally.” With the assurance that he wound’t babble to the pack about my p

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,
