The Alpha's Redemption Twenty-seven: True feelings
Aria’s POVOne minute I was looking into his intense forest-green orbs and the next I was sealing my lips to his for a kiss. The moment my lips touched his, I felt him tense and his hold on my hips tightened. For a minute, he remained still, not making any move to deepen the kiss. Disappointment and mortification crashed into me and I quickly pulled away, trying to put some distance between us but then he grabbed my hips tightly and pulled hard, jerking me forward until my chest was pressed tightly to his and a gasp of shock flew out of my lips. But before I could get a chance to gather my scattered thoughts, his lips were on mine, kissing me passionately and possessively as though he couldn’t get enough. One of his hands gripped my waist tightly while the other traveled up my back, to the nape of my neck to hold it in place as he continued kissing me, allowing his tongue to taste me and mate with mine. It was so heated that I couldn’t hold back the whimper that escaped my lips but he
The Alpha's Redemption Twenty-eight: Strange dream
Aria’s POV…there was a large crowd gathered, with murmurs flying around, but that wasn’t what drew my attention to their midsts. It was the soulful wails and cries of a woman I couldn’t see yet, and the screams of agony coming from a masculine voice.My heart slammed harder against my chest, my brows furrowing in confusion, as I made my way past the angry crowd, chanting what seemed like a war song, with a blazing fire crackling in their midst. A whiff of burning skin assailed my nostrils and I scrunched it up, as my heart raced faster, the closer I got to the scene, but when I finally found my way to the forefront, the scene before me had bile rising in my throat with my guts twisting as tears welled up in my eyes.Amid the burning fire was a man tied to a stake so he couldn't escape. I watched him helplessly struggling against the chains holding him to the stake as the blazing fire licked up his skin, causing screams of agony to tear out of his lips. But worse than this, was the pr
The Alpha's Redemption Twenty-nine: Death Toll
Shane’s POV A wave of jealousy washed over me, crowding my sense of reasoning, with my palms tightly balled into fists as I watched Chase’s car roll out through the gates. There was a sour taste in my mouth, just from watching Aria interact so well and freely with him. Memories of all that happened the previous night flooded my thoughts, the moment I laid eyes on her. I could recall how soft her lips were when they had touched mine. How pliant her body was against mine and how soft she’d felt. How lovingly her touch had been and how her lovely scent had sated me. I’d found peace and all of my worries were forgotten in those few minutes she’d spent in my arms but it all came crashing down when she’d admitted she wasn’t good enough for me and had run out of my bedroom even before her words could make sense to me. Her words and her sudden change in character came as a shock to me, that I was lost on what to do. It seemed that shitty bastard had done more damage to her than I ever gave
The Alpha's Redemption Prolgue: His Dream
Two years agoIt was the early hours of the day Shane Callahan, the son of the Alpha of the BlackMane pack, turned eighteen. Shane looked forward to this day because his father had mentioned countless times that this would be the day he would officially become a man. The day he would seize to be seen as an ordinary boy but as the next alpha of the pack and it's also the day the moon goddess will reveal his mate. He had lived through the past year speculating how wonderful and amazing this day would be, but little did he know that fate had a different story in store for him.As dawn approached, Shane, still sleeping peacefully, fell into a dream...He found himself lost in the middle of the forest, surrounded by a thick canopy of trees and a dense bush. He looked around and tried to find a way out of the woods, but there was none. Coupled with that, it was eerily silent. Not even the chirping of birds could be heard. Suddenly he heard a soft whisper of his name in a barely audible voic
The Alpha's Redemption One: Her fate
Aria’s POVI hid behind the door, with my palms clamped tightly to my ears to keep off the agonizing screams of my mom, as my dad pounded her with his fists like she was a mere doll, a slave to be subjected to his maltreatment. But even with my palms covering my ears, I could still hear her muffled screams and every one of them tore at my heart, pulling my heartstrings taut. I swallowed a choked sob because I couldn’t let it out. I knew how it always ended, whenever he was interrupted by the sound of another except hers. He’d turn his fury on me.I bit down hard on my bottom lip to muffle the sobs that were threatening to break free as I watched him continuously beat her until I could see blood pouring out of her nostrils and her mouth. She was curled in a small ball, taking all of his assault and I couldn’t watch anymore. The guilt was eating at me because I was the reason she was in that situation. If she hadn’t tried to save me from his claws, she’d be fine.Drawing in a shaky brea
The Alpha's Redemption Two: A trip to memory lane
Aria’s POVThe street lights illuminated my way as I walked from our little cottage on the outskirts of town, into the town. At first, the few houses I passed still had their lights on but I was surrounded in eerie silence until I got farther away from our home. The streets were still lonely but I could hear the sounds of warm laughter coming from the houses close by and they reminded me of the home I used to have until five years ago, before things suddenly changed.“We’ll find comfort soon, there’s still hope,” I heard the voice of my wolf, Hailey, in my head.“Stop it, Hailey,” I snapped at her, and she whimpered softly but I ignored it. She always tried to comfort me like she couldn’t see the reality of things. “People like us can never find comfort and happiness. We’re an abomination, remember? And I’m sure we’ll be tossed out of this town if the people find out about me. It’s why papa made sure we live on the outskirts of town,” I reminded her before shutting her out of my head
The Alpha's Redemption Three: Found her
Shane’s POV“The library also needs some renovation in the form of an expansion,” Principal Barnett suggested as we stepped out of the school’s sports center.“Besides the new sports facilities we need to install and the library you’ve just mentioned, is there anything else?” I questioned as we crossed the vast property towards the library.“The other is just a minor issue. The fence at the back is broken,”“Were students responsible for the damage?”“Yes, Alpha Shane but I assure you, we’ve dealt with the hoodlums that caused the damage. It’s why I said it was a minor issue as the school has decided to fine them with the expenses of the repair,”“It's fine, Mr. Barnette. I’ll see to its repair,”“Thank you, Alpha Shane. We appreciate your continuous support to Westwood High, and the teachers and I will continue to put in effort to produce the best student this town has to offer,”I nodded curtly to his words as we approached the Library. Westwood High was the same high school I’d gr
The Alpha's Redemption Four: Mate
Shane’s POVI left principal Barnett’s office with purposeful strides, heading towards my car in the parking lot.It was against the school rules to give off a student's private information but as the Alpha of BlackMane, I was an exception to that rule. The principal had found her file and given me all of the information I needed, from her name to her age and even down to her home address. The urge to find her at her home was strong but I ignored it, knowing she may escape again.I had no idea why she had looked at me in fear and shock before escaping. It wasn't the usual reaction I got from other women or even the female students. They were always openly ogling me and the few that were opportune to be in my presence did their best to get noticed but with her, it was different. She’d looked at me as though she regretted seeing me.The thoughts made me frown deeply and they made Axel growl in annoyance but I pushed them down, choosing to believe that I must have startled her from my ap

The Alpha's Redemption Twenty-six: Yours
Aria’s POVA loud gasp expelled from my lips, my eyes widening as my gaze trailed Shane’s naked body, still dripping with water. My heart thudded in my chest as my curious gaze traveled down his body, down to his groin and I felt my stomach tightening and curling with a strange sensation when my eyes landed on his hardening manhood.Another gasp flew out of my lips as my eyes widened even more. It was my first time seeing a dick and as shocked as I was, I couldn’t stop nor explain the thrill that ran through me as I kept staring at it. Gradually, I noticed it began to grow hard. I was so lost in the sight before me that I’d forgotten it was Shane that I was shamelessly ogling until the sound of his voice pulled me out of my trance.“Aria…” he groaned in a deep guttural voice that quickly snapped me out of my reverie and as soon as my eyes landed on his, I did the first thing that registered in my head_to run away.One minute I was staring into his darkening forest green orbs and the n
The Alpha's Redemption Twenty-five: Listening to gossip
Aria’s POV“You can’t keep running away,” Hailey voiced out but I ignored her.Yes, I’d found an excuse to quickly escape from Shane’s presence when things started getting intense. I hated that I was always flighty around him, but I couldn’t help it. I could feel my body slowly giving in to the deep feelings that arose within me. Whenever I set eyes on him, my heart leaped and when he smiled at me, I could feel butterflies setting off in my stomach and I couldn’t even explain the warmth that always spread through me and the deep feelings of comfort that surrounded me whenever I was in his presence. But even at that, I was still struggling against all of these feelings.“Not every man is like George,” Hailey spoke again, and I released a deep sigh as my shoulders slumped in defeat. For the first time, I acknowledged her words but my fear of falling into the wrong hands and landing into the same situation I’d barely gotten out of was far too great to let me believe those words. Instead,
The Alpha's Redemption Twenty-four: Miraculous healing
Shane’s POV“An eye for an eye,” the prisoner’s words rang in my head as I approached the pack house. After my session with the man, Chase had pushed me out of the dungeons, telling me he’d handle it and although I’d been reluctant to leave, I knew it was for the best. One more minute in the presence of the man and I’d be forced to snap his neck. But even that wouldn’t grant the satisfaction and solution I was after. He’s shown that he wasn’t afraid of death and was ready to lay his life down to see the end of the BlackMane pack.“Oh, trust me, I’d be glad to set my life on the line to avenge my ancestors,” These words plowed my thoughts as I struggled to make sense of them. My thoughts traveled way back to the history of the BlackMane pack but even as far as I could remember the pack was always known for its peaceful coexistence with other packs. There hasn’t been any war in ages, except for the war between the witches and the werewolves that took place almost two decades ago, and f
The Alpha's Redemption Twenty-three: Another visit to the prisoner
Shane’s POV“That’s it,” Chase pointed at the dilapidated building opposite the street as we parked at the curb. The house was in the quiet residential part of town. I could understand why the family could have gone missing for an entire week without the neighbors finding out. The neighborhood was more like an estate where everyone minded their business.Together, with the sentinels that had followed us, we alighted the cars and approached the building with visible soot stains and with half of the roof gone from when it had been burning. The front door was blown open and even the glasses on the windows were gone, with the shards scattered about. It seemed more like an explosion, rather than just a natural fire disaster.“You think this was set up?” I asked Chase, just to confirm my thoughts. He glanced at me and his eyes returned to the building again, just as the Sentinels approached the open entrance. I raised a hand for them to stop and they did.I didn’t want to risk any of my men
The Alpha's Redemption Twenty-two: What just happened?
Aria’s POV“Come on, angel, take a seat,” Shane nodded at the chair he’d pulled out for me as he placed a plate of food on the table.With a smile spread across my lips, I sat down and he leaned down to kiss my temple before taking the seat across from me. We were in the kitchen, seated at the breakfast bar.As soon as he realized I was hungry and had skipped lunch, he quickly ordered one of the maids to fix me a quick lunch. Thereafter he sent them out of the kitchen so we could have our private moment.“How about you, where’s your food?” I inquired, with a mouthful of food but he shook his head, chuckling at me from how I sounded. I cocked a brow in question and he simply shrugged.“I’m not hungry, love,”I frowned.“Are you sure?”“I’m not hungry, princess. Quit worrying about me,”His nickname made my cheeks heat up as I looked down and continued with my meal.“So tell me about your day,”Suddenly, my eyes lit up, a bright smile stretching my lips as I remembered my encounter with
The Alpha's Redemption Twenty-one: Mystery Lucy
Aria’s POVI absentmindedly tapped my fingers on my desk, with my eyes riveted on the fancy wall clock hanging on the wall, at the front of the class, way above the teacher’s head. It was almost five minutes until the close of school for the day and I could barely wait to get out of the class. I’d had a very eventful day, from having to open up about my real identity to the shocked principal, to becoming the discussion amongst every group of students, all thanks to Shane.At first, I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me when I kept meeting with their stares. While some screamed of curiosity, especially from the male students, the females looked like they wanted to shoot lasers at me. It was no secret that they all had their eyes on the alpha but now that he was close to me, they were beginning to see me as a competition.It still felt strange to be pulled from the shadows I’d always hidden in and to become the center of attention but I didn’t care as long as they weren’t going
