Aliyah

"Of course not!" he exclaimed. Pain is visible on his face. "Is that how you see me? That I would stoop so low just to sleep with any woman I want?"

I couldn't answer right away because he had a point. He was an alpha and didn't need to sweet-talk any woman just to get them into bed. If he wanted, he could have as many women as he pleased, whether human or she-wolf.

But even though I knew that, I still couldn't believe what he said.

Me? His mate?

"Is it really that hard to believe that you're my mate?" he asked.

"Why are you only telling me this now? There has to be a reason. I need to know what it is."

"The pack is very unstable right now. With the frequent rogue sightings just outside my borders, I don't want their attention to divert to you. I want to keep us a secret until everything is settled."

He's going to hide me? He doesn't want anyone to know that we're mates?

"Another reason is that you're still studying, and I don't want you tied down with the responsibility of bein

    Mature ContentAliyahI was touched by what he said. I know the responsibility of being an Alpha, and the fact that he chose me over that means so much to me.But I also know that he shouldn’t be doing this. I’ve seen how his pack members respect him and how he treats them. Even Chloe admires him as an Alpha."Baby, I know it’s hard for you to accept the setup I can offer. But believe me, this is for your own safety, too."He held my face gently, stroking my cheeks with his thumbs. It felt so good whenever our skin touched."I assure you, there's no one else but you. I’m not using the pack as an excuse to betray you. You can visit the pack anytime you want, and I want you to know that my father knows who you are to me."Was that why his father welcomed me so easily when I was at their pack house? Somehow, knowing that his father acknowledged our bond made me feel proud.I never expected Xavier to dislike the palace, especially the royal family, since his father, Lucio Bloodworth, was k

    Xavier"Where have you been?" Adrian asked when I returned to the pack house. He stared at me as I walked toward my office, and he followed.I noticed him sniffing slightly, probably trying to figure out where I had been. But too bad for him, I took a shower in the bungalow before returning to the pack. I didn't want anyone to smell Aliyah's scent on me. It wouldn't be safe for her."Why are you still here?" I asked. It was already late, and normally, he'd be home by now unless I gave him something to do."You didn't answer my question," he said."I didn't know I had to report to you," I replied, sitting in my chair and looking up at him."If you hadn't suddenly disappeared, I wouldn't have asked. Stelle disappeared too and came back late but only to tell everyone that she was going home.""Stelle?" I asked, confused.He nodded. "Everyone thinks you were with her. Jessica said she saw you both leaving the university after you told her that Aliyah was okay.""Jessica saw me with Stelle

    AliyahThe king and queen of the supernatural world, Matteo and Freya Harith, are known as the most powerful beings in our realm. Their reign saw them through two wars led by their uncle and aunt, both of which they won successfully. They had twins named Leo and Luna, whom they loved dearly and who were destined to inherit their kingdom.However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the king and queen needed to protect their twins. To do so, they changed their names when they began school. Leo became Allistaire, a strong Lycan Prince. In contrast, Luna became Aliyah, an omega who could move objects without touching them and read minds. But these abilities were not easy for her to control. Often, her nose would bleed when she used them. She had no one to guide her, fearing her parents might find out.Aliyah kept her abilities to herself out of fear that the kingdom would see her as evil and compare her to her witch aunt, who waged war a year after her parents’ reign. How do I know this? Be

    AliyahGlendale University.It’s Monday morning, and I’m currently walking around the university. I usually do this, especially since the place is new to me. I guess it's also part of my cautious nature, which started when I was a child.I walked with many other students and noticed that most of them seemed to know each other and were happy to see their friends. I wish I could say the same, but my friend chose to study at another school because her crush is there."Yay!" I flinched when I heard a familiar voice from behind, so I quickly turned around. My eyes widened when I realized I had heard correctly because I saw my best friend running toward me, even though I thought she was at a different school."You witch! What are you doing here?" I asked as she finally reached me, and I’m sure disbelief was still all over my face."I can’t let you have all the fun by yourself!" Janice said, laughing, which made me laugh, too. I consider her my best friend because she treats me like I'm not

    AliyahThree days have passed since that incident, and I haven’t seen Xavier or Adrian again. Maybe it was just a coincidence that they were there, which I’m thankful for because if they hadn’t been, the palace would probably be mourning because of me.“Okay, class, listen.” I suddenly looked at our P.E. professor, glancing around the class before she continued. “In a week, we’ll have a small competition. Since physical strength will be needed, it will be divided into two categories: one for the supernatural and one for the humans.”The students began whispering. Some were nervous, while others were excited. “Even though the categories are separate, you will still fight, and there’s a chance someone might get hurt. We need to ensure, especially for humans, that we can fight. So that, no matter what happens, you can protect yourselves.”“Like a fighting tournament?” asked one of my male classmates, who I was sure was a wolf.“Yes, but even though it’s a fighting tournament and there’s

    AliyahIt was early Saturday morning, and I was heading to the university parking lot. I commuted as usual. Dad insisted I should have a car and a driver. Still, I refused because I wanted to keep my identity secret, so I stayed low profile.“I thought you wouldn’t show up,” Janice greeted me as soon as she saw me, causing me to frown. “I know you’re not fond of these pack visits, and I was worried Aunt Avery wouldn’t allow you to come.”“She allowed me because I told her I’d be with you,” I replied, seeing a wide smile across her face. She was about to say more when a black SUV suddenly stopped beside us. The passenger door opened, and Chloe stepped out with a smile.“Hi, girls! Sorry, I’m a bit late. Adrian took forever.” We looked toward the driver’s seat, where her brother Adrian also got out, staring intensely at Janice, and my friend stared back at him.“Hey! What’s going on with you?” I asked, surprising her.“Huh? Nothing, I just– I don’t know.”“Adrian, stop scaring Janice. S

    Aliyah “Your Alpha is really something, Chloe,” said Janice, returning me to my senses. We were now in the training hall with Pete, the gamma of the Howlers Pack, whom Xavier had ordered to join and help us with training. “Alpha just wants to make sure you're safe, especially since you're the daughter of Alpha Joric.” I understood Chloe's reason, but I still felt uncomfortable staying at the packhouse simply because I’m human and supposedly need extra protection. “Aliyah, I’m sorry for Alpha Xavier. He’s like that because he feels responsible for you, especially since you're in the pack.” I nodded at Pete and pretended everything was okay, but I was nervous. We started warming up because, according to the gamma, our training wouldn’t be easy, especially since Janice said we were training together. I guess being honest didn't give us an advantage. Chloe was already 18, so she had her wolf, while Janice, her sparring partner, didn’t. But they were both in human form, so it was

    AliyahEvery hair on my body stood up because of what Xavier said, so I quickly got up. I shook my head, trying to clear my mind that has been blown away because of the way he called me. I didn’t even remember how we ended our training and how I got back to the pack house while Janice went to Chloe’s place. We were supposed to stay here until tomorrow. Still, I can’t imagine what else might happen between me and that Alpha.I’m on the third floor of the pack house. Chloe showed me where my room was before we started training. She said the Alpha family lived here, but until I entered my room, I didn’t see anyone except for three omegas who seemed to be finishing up some cleaning. They noticed me but just nodded before walking past me.I took a shower to wash off the sweat. Honestly, I enjoyed the training with Xavier. I learned something even though I didn’t land a single hit on him.I observed how he dodged. I’m not sure if he was just avoiding me or if he was showing me the moves inst

    I was shocked when he suddenly took my hand, intertwined our fingers, and pulled me away from school.I looked around, worried that someone might see us. I didn't want people to get the wrong idea.I was also nervous that my parents might have assigned someone to watch over me, and if they saw this, they would definitely report me to the palace."Stop, Alpha!" I said, halting my steps. He immediately stopped and looked at me, his brows furrowed, waiting for me to speak."What are you doing? What if someone sees us? What will they think?" I asked in a low voice. I knew he would hear me. His hearing was sharp.But instead of answering, he just pulled me again. Though it wasn't rough, his movements were controlled, almost gentle.We kept walking until we reached the side of the bookstore I wanted to visit. I was surprised when he pulled off a cloth covering a motorcycle behind the store.There was a box at the back of the bike. Xavier opened it, took out a helmet, and placed it on my head

    Aliyah"What's wrong, baby?" Xavier asked, his eyes locked on me. Judging by the smirk on his face, I had a feeling he already knew what I was feeling.I really wanted to read his mind, but I was scared to. I was still weak, and my strength was just barely starting to come back."N-Nothing, Alpha. Why are you here?" I asked. "What about the tournament?""Didn't I say earlier that Adrian took my place there?" he replied.Right, but why didn't he go back there? Why is he here in front of me instead?"And Jessica?" I asked."She's fine now and relaxed after I told her your sudden weakness and nosebleed weren't because of her punch."I just nodded. Once again, I remembered that shadow I saw behind her. What was that?I looked back at Xavier, who was still staring at me."You said earlier you were watching our fight," I said."Yes, why?" His interest suddenly seemed real. Did he see what I saw, too?I shook my head. Probably not. But—Argh, I don't even know what to think anymore. I don't e

    "How are you feeling now?" Sir Jake asked. The bleeding from my nose had stopped, and Dr. Martin had already assured me that there was nothing to worry about since everything was normal."I'm okay now, Sir." I glanced slightly at Xavier, who was still staring at me."I think you need to tell your parents about what happened so they can have you checked again by a doctor if needed. I don't want them thinking that the school neglects its students, especially humans.""I will let my parents know, Sir.""Thank you," Sir Jake replied before turning to Xavier."You can tell Jessica that she has nothing to worry about since Aliyah is fine. I'm sure she'll be able to relax now.""Yes, Sir," Xavier replied, glancing at me once more before finally leaving the clinic.I didn't want him to go yet. I still wanted to be with him, even though I felt slightly nervous. But at the same time, I didn't want Sir Jake to notice that there was something going on between me and Xavier. Even though, right now,

    Aliyah“Are you okay?” Xavier asked again once we were in the clinic.“Excuse me, Alpha.” He had no choice but to step aside to let the nurse pass.“Does it hurt, Aliyah?” the nurse asked, but I just shook my head.“Are you sure?” Xavier asked again.“Yes, Alpha. The punch didn’t hit me.” And it was true.“Aliyah!” Janice called out worriedly as she rushed into the clinic with her father and Chloe.“Are you okay, A-Aliyah?” Alpha Joric asked, his voice full of concern.“I’m fine, Uncle Joric.”“This is the first time I’ve seen you like this. Are you sick or something?” he asked.“This usually happens when I study too much. But I suddenly felt dizzy and had a headache earlier when it happened,” I admitted. I needed to be honest, at least a little.It’s not even exam week, so it’s unlikely that I overworked myself studying. That excuse wouldn’t work right now.“Maybe we should call Dr. Martin.” The nurse, who had just finished taking my blood pressure and temperature, looked at me with a

    "Next round, Jessica and Aliyah!" one of the professors shouted. Did my friend lose?I was shocked, so I looked around in search of Janice. I found her sitting beside Chloe, and both were smiling at me, even giving me a thumbs-up. I glanced at the girl who had defeated her and noticed she was also looking at me, giving me a chill."Remember, the first to land two hits wins," our PE teacher reminded us with a smile. Our teachers were really kind and supportive of all students. I guess this is what happens when the people in charge have principles, treat everyone fairly, and, most importantly, follow the rules.I nodded, and so did Jessica, the one who defeated Janice."Go, Aliyah!" My two friends cheered, making me shake my head.Just like before, we started in our fighting stances and waited for Sir's whistle.Compared to my previous opponent, this one looked more determined to win. The way she stared at me, it was like she wanted to kill me. I couldn't help but feel nervous. There was

    Aliyah"Thank you, Alpha Xavier," Alpha Joric said with a smile as they shook hands. The woman had won, and now the two alphas exchanged the category they were holding."You're welcome, Alpha Joric." Xavier looked serious, but when his gaze landed on me after Janice's father left, he immediately smirked."Okay, just because you requested me to be here doesn't mean everything will be easy for you.""Oh, come on, Alpha. We just wanted to see you up close." I rolled my eyes at the flirtatious tone of the woman who spoke. Xavier noticed it, and he smiled while looking at me."Alright, all odd numbers, group together. The same goes for the even numbers." His voice was firm, and everyone got serious as they quickly moved to the places Xavier pointed out."Now, number 1 will fight against number 2. Number 3 will fight against number 4, and so on. I assume you all got that?" There was no issue with the pairings since the boys and girls were separated."Yes, Alpha!" everyone shouted in unison.
