The Alpha's True Love Chapter 18 - It's forever ...
Isabella“I don’t know.” The words are out before I even think about it. I know what he wants to hear. I know what I should do, but my memories are so overwhelming that, suddenly, I’m having trouble trusting the people who have been helping me.“I am not trying to push you into anything, but if you don’t accept me as your mate, I fear that my hands will be tied, and I won’t be able to help you.” His eyes fill with sorrow and it breaks my heart. I don’t know what to do. I don’t know who to trust or how to protect myself. Memories of being abused keep flooding my mind and I stuff my face in my hands feeling completely overwhelmed.“I know you are under a lot of pressure, Isabella, but you have to know that I would never hurt you. Nobody in my pack will ever lift a hand to you.” His hands softly touch mine and when I look him in the eye tears start to roll.“I will accept you.” I take a breath. Any possibility of living under sanctuary was destroyed when my brother claimed that I was kid

AsherBreathing in her scent and feeling her warmth so close to me is overwhelming. I sink my teeth in deeply, feeling her melt against my body as her arms cling to me. I pull my teeth back and lick the wound, watching and hoping it would heal fast, but it doesn’t.It is the final sign I need to prove that she is human. It doesn’t happen often, but it has happened that some werewolves just never found their wolf. Her scent drifts up my nose and when I look into her eyes, all I can think about is making her mine.While keeping her gaze, my hands slip under her shirt. I feel the scars, and it breaks my heart to imagine what they could have done to cause those. It is just another piece of the puzzle that proves that she is human, and I have to protect her. She gasps, drawing my attention, and I catch the slight scent of her arousal.“Not here.” I growl softly and pick her up bridal style. I guess that she is still a virgin and the last thing I want is to f@ck her on my table if it’s her

IsabellaI wake up still smelling his scent, but when I turn around, he isn’t there. I get up and stretch some more on my way to grabbing the thin piece of material that is probably meant to be a gown of some sort. I am just about to go and look for him when Asher walks through the door with a tray filled with food and I instantly smell the coffee.“Good morning, beautiful. Sleep well?” He grins before kissing my forehead and placing the tray on the bed. I plop down on the bed and grab the coffee first.“Very well and you?” It is so strange to feel this happy. It is so strange to be with him like this and yet, at the same time, it’s so comfortable.“Very well, thank you. It’s good to be back in my own room.” He winks, and my cheeks turn bright red. I figured it was his room soon after arriving and finding his clothes in most of the drawers. “Are you sure you aren’t hurting or anything?” He frowns as he makes himself comfortable on the bed before sipping his coffee. I know what he is a

IsabellaAs the warm water flows over my body, I remember the way Asher touched me and I instantly feel my arousal pushing its way through my entire body. For some odd reason, I think about Adam and Clair. They were never really Lovey Dovey with each other.The more I think about it, the more I realize that I never even saw them kiss. I try to think back to when they were mated, but I can’t remember ever seeing them look at each other with the same look in their eyes that I see in Asher’s when he looks at me.It brings me to the only realization that there can be. They were never destined mates. My uncle lied. I turn off the water and get dressed in what now feels like the only thing I wear these days. Jeans and a white t-shirt. In my hurry, I forget to put on shoes as I rush to find Asher.“That was not the last we’ve seen of them.” Asher sighs as I walk into his office. I am on the verge of turning around and walking out when I feel his hand on my wrist. “I left the door open so you

AsherIt astounds me that she can’t see the strength inside herself. My mate, who can be so vulnerable and sweet, has no idea that she can break me with just the flick of her pinkie. As she squirms underneath me and as her body brings me the purest of ecstasy, it astounds me that she has no idea that even though she is human, she is stronger than I will ever be.I see her scars, but I don’t see them as ugly. I see them as the evidence of how incredibly strong she is. An hour later, she is curled up in my arms, fast asleep and I just watch her. I look at her beautiful face and decide that the time has come for Isabella to see her own strength.“Chris, I want you to make sure that the entire pack is gathered for training tomorrow morning.” We have to start preparing for whatever her family has planned. We may just as well include her in that. Now that her family has been informed of our relationship status, I believe the time has come to inform my pack.“Sure thing, Alpha.” His amused v

IsabellaIt’s strange how comfortable I feel around Asher. I still feel self-conscious about my scars, but he has been so kind and loving since that moment he marked me. It feels as though we have been together forever. Even if I never got my memory back, I can see myself building a life with him.Not that I think he would have accepted me if I didn’t get my memory back. The one thing I know about Asher is that he is an honourable man. He didn’t mark me until I had my memory and I agreed. He also didn’t try anything until we were marked.“Hey, are you okay?” Asher frowns and I realize I’m shivering and haven’t made a move to dry myself or get dressed.“Yeah, sorry. I don’t know what happened there.” I smile and rush right into the huge fluffy towel he holds out for me. Asher rubs the sides of my arms before letting me go and I get dressed, keeping a sideways eye on him.As soon as we are dressed, he suggests a walk and I agree. I have had this urge to just be out in the middle of the

IsabellaI sit down where Asher shows me behind his desk while he stands beside me and the three council members sit in front of me.“Alpha Asher, if we are going to get to the truth, we need you to give us some time alone with her.” The councillor looks worried, and I look at Asher and nod. It is clear as day that he doesn’t want to leave my side, and under the circumstances it is understandable.“I will be just outside if you need me.” He kisses my forehead and I breathe in his scent. “Just tell them everything you told us, okay?” He turns back just inside the door as though he is scared, I might leave something out.“I will be fine.” I smile at him and I can see him relax before he closes the door. “So, gentlemen, what do you need from me?” I turn my attention to the councillors.“Let’s start with the first charge of kidnapping. Alpha Asher claims that it wasn’t kidnapping and that he found you disorientated in his territory.” One of the men seems to be in charge as he indicates to

IsabellaI don’t feel as confident as Asher. I can’t help the fear overtaking me, and when Asher gets up from behind his desk and pulls me into his arms, I feel my heart rate calm down instantly. Tears burn the back of my eyes as I breathe in his scent.“It’s going to be okay. I won’t let them hurt you. We’ve won this battle, and we will win the war.” He strokes my hair and I feel my fear slowly disappear. I know that he will do everything in his power, but he also doesn’t really know my family and the lengths they would go to, to get what they want.I breathe in his scent and I don’t want to spoil the moment as I push the bad thoughts to the back of my mind. When Lisa shows up for dinner later that night, we discuss what I told the council and how they reacted. According to Asher, he believes that the council won’t intervene again.When I look confuse, Lisa explains that the council only intervenes when things become threatening enough to alert the human world to what might be going

The Alpha's True Love Chapter 56 - Outwitting the council.
LukeI check in on Alice, and she is fast asleep. I’m not tired yet, so I decide to go for a walk. I have too much on my mind. There are too many variables. Too many things that could go wrong.“You seem to be carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, son.” My dad joins me and I smile. I didn’t even notice he was nearby, which is actually a little unsettling.“I feel as if I am, dad.” We’ve always been close. My father is my sounding board. He and my mom had a stormy start, and I decide to confide in him about everything that is going on between me and Alice. Everything I’m feeling that I can’t act on. Everything that is worrying me and that the council is the biggest worry of them all.“Sounds like you have a decision to make.” He smiles and I sigh. “Son, I have always believed that we should follow our hearts. The council has always been a bit of a stick in the mud, but their latest decisions …” His voice trails off as he sighs.“The thing is dad, what if what they are say
The Alpha's True Love Chapter 55 - How do we do this?
Alice“So, if you don’t believe what the council believes, what do you think is causing those awful things to happen?” I notice his eyes glaze over, and I am sure he just mind linked with one of his pack. Maybe even all of them.“I’m not sure, but I just can’t imagine love doing that. Maybe a spell or maybe it is something scientific. If you think about it, not all destined mates get mated. Some choose their mates.” He shrugs and when he smiles, I notice the slight dimple in his one cheek.“How long do you think it will take before we know more?” It astonishes me that he is so open with me about everything. Especially after the way the council treated all the girls when we left home. That makes me wonder how many of the girls on the bus will ever find out the truth.“I’m not sure. They say they have a team working through the data, but my experience has been that they act before they have all the facts, and then it takes them forever to gather all the facts.” He sighs, stuffing his ha
The Alpha's True Love Chapter 54 - Getting to know each other ...
AliceAs he took my hand, I feel his feelings and something tells me what he is about to show me is going to finally give me the answers I have been looking for. We walk into what I can only guess is his office, since he looks very comfortable opening one of the desk drawers.He pulls out a file and sighs deeply before handing it to me without any explanation. I open the file and my jaw drops. My eyes snap from the photos to him and I see the grim look on his face.“That is why you are here.” He takes a seat and I feel my legs go slightly weak, forcing me to sit beside him while I page through the photos. “I am showing you this because I can feel how upset you are about what is happening. I need you to understand why you were brought here and why the others are being taken to other packs.”“This is horrible!” I gape at the photos and finally close the file. Swallowing hard as he gets up, I gladly take the drink he offers a couple of minutes later and empty the glass without thinking.
The Alpha's True Love Chapter 53 - What is destiny?
LukeMy first thought when I heard what the council were planning was that they couldn’t have come up with a more ridiculous idea, but when I saw the evidence, I understood why they were planning to do it. All around the world, packs were reporting what I thought was pure fiction at first.That was until I saw the actual proof. Something had gone very wrong with our belief that the moon goddess was sending us our destined mates. It seems that belief created creatures that only half shifted. Pictures showed monsters of all ages, and according to reports, they were all feral.It is not just a sad state, but also a dangerous one. With those many possibilities out in the world, there is a very real chance that humans can find out about us and their next step would be to round all of us up and experiment on us.I was quickly convinced that the ridiculous plan might just work, and as I study myself in the mirror, I prepare for what will probably be the weirdest day of my entire life. Each pa
The Alpha's True Love Chapter 52 - A long drive ...
AliceAll I can think about as I clutch the letter with my name on it is that at least they didn’t lie to us about what was happening. They could have lied and sent us off thinking we were going to some kind of theme park or something.I try to read the letter as I’m hustled away with the rest of the group that has been picked. Once all the letters are handed out, our alpha starts to explain what everyone has just been gossiping about since last night. I don’t hear most of it.“Is this compulsory?” I frown as soon as he asks if there are any questions.“I’m afraid it is, Alice.” He grins at me. We went to school together. I won’t say we were best friends or anything, but we all got along fairly well. Could he be playing one of his jokes on me? I study the letter, but it is an exact copy of all the others I can see.I can’t imagine he would play such a joke on all of us. Some of the girls were actually excited, and it would be cruel to take this opportunity away from them. We are sent
The Alpha's True Love Chapter 51 - Not who they want me to be.
LukeThere is a lot of pressure on me to find my mate from the very moment I turn eighteen, but I’ve never really been worried. My parents only met later in their lives and I believe that I will meet my mate when the time is right.I know that she isn’t in our pack. It’s sad because that would mean taking a girl away from her family, but I made sure to check every single and available female during the pack run. Besides, legend has it that you can smell your mate, and I haven’t smelled anything different.I sit down behind the desk I saw my father working at for so long, and it just feels weird. I guess I will get used to it in time. I’ve been training as alpha for a while. But actually, going through the loyalty ceremony and now sitting in the office makes it really sink in.AliceStanding on the porch, I look out at the rain. I was really looking forward to my birthday. Most importantly, I was looking forward to my father announcing that I would be taking over from him as the pack b

IsabellaShock runs through the entire pack. I take a step back since that wasn’t the answer I was expecting. It only takes a moment for Asher to give the order. I see the fury in his eyes as moment later chaos breaks out. Emily has already been released, but I know she won’t make it very far.I hear the howls as Asher shifts and the pack follows, and I turn and make my way home. I can’t be a part of that. I can’t bring myself to do that to anyone. Memories of Liam flood my mind as well as the promise I made myself that day.I know that I will have to fight for my survival again. I’m a werewolf. It is just the way things are. I know that I will probably have to kill, but I won’t do what the pack is doing right now. I just can’t bring myself to go that far.I walk into our son’s bedroom and pick him up. Clinging to him, I breathe in his scent. I send up a silent prayer to whoever is listening to protect my son. I don’t want this for him. I put him down when I hear Asher come in.By the
The Alpha's True Love Chapter 49 - Emily's admission of guilt.
Isabella“How long do you think she will be able to hold out?” I frown when I see the look in Asher’s eyes. He sighs deeply, making me really worried.“I don’t know. She’s always been difficult to really pin down. Emily is motivated by money and prestige, and she will do anything to get it.” He sighs. “As long as that twisted mind of hers believes that there is the slightest chance, she can get me back, she isn’t going to admit anything.”“Maybe that is what we have to use against her then.” I sit down while he pours each of us a drink. He hands me one and sits down beside me.“What do you mean? What more can we tell her or show her that she hasn’t already seen? She knows we are mated.” He frowns, and I take a moment to think about it. I hate the idea of torturing someone. Physically and emotionally, but we may have no other choice.“What would she do if we condemn her? If you openly say that she is guilty whether she admits it or not?” I don’t even dare go further, but thankfully, I
The Alpha's True Love Chapter 48 - Facing it together.
IsabellaI roll onto my side and try to calm my mind. I know that he feels everything I’m feeling right now, and it is almost as though at that very moment it’s an invasion of my privacy. Especially since it feels as if there is this huge part of his life, of his personality, that I didn’t see until now.I roll onto my back and stare at the ceiling. I can’t even begin to imagine my life without him. The good guy, not the one I’ve seen since his mother was killed. I also can’t see myself raising our son with a bad guy. Something has to give.He either has to pick to be one of the two or I need to make a very difficult decision. I shake my head, not even wanting to think about it. I can’t. I know there is no way I can leave him. Even after everything I saw and everything I’ve felt, I still love him.I get out of bed and go in search of Asher. I need to talk to him. I find him in his office and the moment our eyes meet, it hurts. His eyes are filled with all the same emotions I’ve been f
