The Alpha's True Love Chapter 26 - Truth revealed.
AsherI explain what really happened, and I note the concern start to grow. It is the exact mindset that I don’t want for her. I try to comfort her, by telling her they are probably scouts who are testing our boundaries, but I can feel that her fear is back.She grips my hand a little tighter when we walk into the room we call the dungeon, but it’s actually just an old basement that we revamped. Having cells as part of a pack house is just one of those things that forms part of the lives of werewolves.“Traitor!” The one who wouldn’t stop glaring at me the night before is the first to react. He immediately jumps up and grabs onto the bars, but backs away the moment I take a step closer.“You are traitors. You trespassed into my territory without permission.” I growl. He backs off a little more, but he still glares at Isabella as though he can just intimidate her into submission. I wonder how they thought this would play out.Did her family think these three wolves would just come here

Clair“Why can’t we just adopt?” I glare at my father. He did that for Adam’s parents. Why couldn’t we just do the same thing?“Because we want the bloodline, and you know that the bloodline runs through the female genes.” My father says through clenched teeth. He had the perfect excuse why we had to do it that way. When Isabella’s parents took over the pack, it wasn’t Isabella’s father that took over from his father. Isabella’s mother was the one who carried the alpha gene.I’m so tired of the entire situation. All I want to do is just drink until I pass out. It’s not like Adam or my father actually cares and now that I don’t even have Isabella around to torture, I literally have nothing.AsherIsabella decides to rest, which gives me time to take care of some business. Firstly, I need to strengthen our border security. If they sent scouts once, they are definitely going to send them again. Or they might send warriors.Once the borders are sorted out, I check in with my mom to make s

IsabellaI am in shock. I actually shifted. It didn’t even hurt. My mind reels as I wonder how it is even possible.“How?” I frown at Asher, who is looking just as shocked as I am.“I don’t know, but I think we need to visit the hospital.” He frowns. “If anyone can help us understand, it’s my mom.” As soon as we are both dressed, we make our way to the hospital. Somehow, word had already spread that I had shifted and Lisa is beaming the moment we walk in.“You shifted!” She squeals before pulling me into a hug and I giggle. It is incredible.“Yeah, but how?” I frown as soon as she lets me go. She shows me to the examination table and starts to check me from head to toe while also asking questions.“And you are sure you didn’t feel anything?” She frowns when she is done. I shake my head and sit up. “Well, you are all good. Nothing is wrong. The only thing I can think is that you relaxed and the adrenaline from the run probably made it happen. Isabella, you haven’t had the easiest of li

IsabellaI didn’t think it was possible, but I fell even more in love with Asher at this moment. He is so vulnerable and pure it is almost unbearable. I stroke the side of his cheek and my head rests against it as he leans in. He breathes in deeply, closing his eyes for a moment before kissing the inside of my palm.His kiss lingers there for a moment before he kisses the inside of my wrist and I feel my arousal for him taking over my entire body. He pulls me off the chair into a slight hunch before slowly lowering me to the floor.His kiss is tender and I feel all my senses awaken more than usual. It is almost as though the light is suddenly brighter. The air is suddenly sweeter. As though his scent fills every cell in my body. Our clothes suddenly become a barrier neither can deal with.It is almost as if the entire world disappears. His finger finally slips between my folds and I gasp both in anticipation and relief. We make love right there on the floor of his office as if the wor

IsabellaNot everyone believes in magic. For a long time, neither did I, but as I study the tiny lines on Asher’s face while he sleeps, I believe. Love is magical. Being loved is magical. Our mysterious mate bond is magical. Even if nobody ever saw the moon goddess, we all still believe in her.We all believe in the power of the choices she makes for us. We blindly fall into the arms of our “destined mate” without so much as a question. I am so blessed that Asher caught me that awful night. That he is willing to face the world on my behalf.I smile as I realize that, slowly but surely, he is mending my broken heart. Slowly but surely, he is gluing the pieces back together. I curl up a little closer and snuggle in beside him before I fall asleep.ClairIt is not strange to go into bed alone. It is strange, however, to wake up and the other side of the bed hasn’t been slept in at all. I make my way through my morning ritual and once I’m dressed, I go in search of coffee. I had one hell

IsabellaI am not looking forward to today, but we have to get it over and done with. Asher wants me to speak to my brother to see if he is telling us the truth. I walk down the stairs on my own, looking back once. Asher smiles warmly and nods.“You got this, babe.” His voice echoes inside my mind and I smile. It still astounds me how much my life has changed since that moment I literally ran into him. It is very dark inside the dungeons, and when the lights come on, Adam squints.He is sitting in the back corner of his cell. He is looking a little better, and according to Lisa, his injuries will all heal. That is why none of us are really believe his story. He looked awful when he arrived at first, but according to Lisa, all of his wounds were superficial. None were life-threatening.“I’m really sorry, Isabella.” He slowly gets up and I roll my eyes. “If I had known …”“Oh, stop bullshitting yourself, Adam. I don’t believe a word that comes out of that filthy mouth of yours. You sure

ClairWhen the door opens, I have to squint. The light is so bright that I don’t see my father coming down the stairs, but I can hear him. He grips my upper arm and pulls me upright, almost dragging me up the stairs.“We have guests coming and if you don’t play your part, you will be spending the rest of your life in the dungeons.” He growls, and it sends a shiver up the back of my spine. I’m rushed upstairs where I quickly take a shower and change before meeting my father downstairs. I have to fight the urge to gawk the moment I see the council.“And here she is. Clair, will you please tell the council what happened?” He smiles and I frown. I glare at him for a moment. How am I supposed to cover his a$s if I don’t even know what he lied about? “Sweetheart, I know you are heartbroken that Adam just left, but …”“We would like to hear what Luna Clair has to say.” A council member interrupts my father, but that doesn’t stop him.“Adam abandoned you and the pack.” His voice echoes throug

IsabellaI am actually at a loss for words. I can’t believe the lengths Clair will go to. Of course, she would lie through her teeth, but what she told the council is just way too much. Asher informs them immediately, and they assure him they will follow up.We don’t have much hope though. The council always seem to take my uncle’s word over everyone else’s. It makes Asher wonder what my uncle is holding over them, but that is something he says he will follow up on later. For now, we have other business to deal with.Business that might just prove to the council that my uncle and Clair are lying. Asher and I make our way down the stairs and I note Adam sitting at the far back end of his cell. I can’t help but feel a little vindicated that he has to spend his time in total darkness.After everything he did to me. After everything, they all did to me, they don’t deserve any better treatment. Asher runs through the questions, and I’m not surprised when Adam says he will confirm everythin

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

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
