The Alpha's True Love Chapter 32 - Lies! Do they ever stop?
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

Asher“But then you would be their alpha, and I can’t ask you to make space for my people.” Isabella shakes her head. “No, I don’t like that idea either. Maybe it is best that my uncle just takes over. None of them ever really cared about me anyway.”“It is your choice, Isabella. If you want to move your people here, we can do that. If you choose not to, then that is also your choice.” I don’t know what to say to her. It is her choice. It is not one that I can make for her.ClairBy the time the door opens again, I feel as if I had been down there for years. My throat is so dry that I can’t even complain when my father grabs me by the hair and drags me up the stairs. So, this is how Isabella felt? Maybe a little worse.We didn’t exactly throw her in here very delicately. I guess it is my punishment for what I did to her. When we reach the top of the stairs, I try to cover my eyes a little because the light is so bright. In the corner of my eye, I note the omega smiling and I instantly
Last Updated : 2024-12-03The Alpha's True Love Chapter 35 - It all falls down ...
IsabellaIt feels so strange to let go of something I never really had. I don’t want the pack. I don’t want to be a part of them. I am happy with what I have. Asher and his pack gave me the home I never had. I was never the one who wanted a title.I just want a peaceful and happy life. And then the nausea really hit me. I throw up for three days straight, unable to keep anything down, and unable to even leave the room. Lisa tries her best to help me, but nothing seems to work. It is on the third morning, while Asher is grinning at me like a goofy puppy that it hits home.“I’m pregnant, aren’t I?” My eyes grow wide. I wasn’t sure if he was happy about it, but he sure looked happy as he nodded.“I smelled it yesterday.” He is happy!“I’m not sure if I am.” I frown, making him frown. “I’m sorry. I just thought we would have more time alone and with everything that is happening …” My voice trails off as I look into his eyes. Asher looks really sad, and I feel like an idiot.“Everything th

Isabella“I will get down to business. It seems that you are the only one who can claim your pack.” The councillor sighs.“Okay, what does that mean?” I know what it means. I just need him to say it.“If you don’t claim your pack, they will be given the opportunity to choose someone else. If they can’t choose a new alpha family then they will all become rogues.” The councillor frowns.“I don’t want it.” I don’t. That much I’m sure about. The councillor looked at Asher.“You heard the lady.” Asher shrugs. We all know what the outcome will be. The pack won’t be able to come to an agreement about who should be the next alpha because all of them will want to be the alpha, and then they will turn rogue. Maybe that is exactly what they all deserve.“And you don’t want to claim the title?” I didn’t think I could be surprised by anything the councillor had to say, but there I am. Surprised!“Nope. I don’t want any of them anywhere near the woman I love. I wouldn’t be able to trust them even a

Isabella“Is that your final decision?” The councillor frowns. I spent an entire week agonizing over my decision. It’s made, and there is no going back.“Yes. I have no bond with them.” I shrug.“And you don’t want them either?” The councillor looks hopefully at Asher, who just shakes his head.“What are you going to do with them?” I’m not sure if I want to know, but I still ask.“They have chosen Adam as their alpha. It seems they really don’t want to become rogue.” I’m not sure if I’m hurt or impressed. Or I actually might not even care. Sadly, the pack’s choice has an effect on our future. After the councillors’ leave, Asher starts to pace back and forth.“Okay, out with it.” I sigh deeply.“I am a little stunned. It’s a strange feeling.” He turns to look at me for a moment before grinning. “Isabella, you’ve heard some of the rumours about that pack. You don’t believe that they didn’t know what was going on.” He is sounding cryptic and if I was anyone else, I wouldn’t have known wh
Last Updated : 2024-12-06The Alpha's True Love Chapter 38 - Liam is still alive!
IsabellaIt takes some time for me to settle down into a routine and not to see literally everything as a danger to our pup. It takes a couple of runs through the forest in my wolf form to settle down, but I finally get there. At first, I have to work through the guilt of leaving Luke at home with Lisa.Once that is behind me, I can just relax and enjoy what I didn’t have before. The freedom of just running. Feeling the cool dirt under my paws and the fresh air blowing through my fur. It is a high like nothing I ever felt before.Adam is the alpha of my old pack, and I feel as if I can finally move on with my life. I can move forward out of my past, and it almost feels as if I’m stepping into a new life. A new me. Asher and I are doing wonderful, although he still doesn’t trust the peace.I shouldn’t trust it either, but up to this point my life has been so incredibly difficult that I just want to enjoy my joy. Just for a little while longer. Sadly, the world outside won’t stay outsid
Last Updated : 2024-12-07The Alpha's True Love Chapter 39 - Facing the past.
IsabellaI sit staring at the council. We are all gathered in Asher’s office, and they just give me an option that I don’t want. The council believes that the only way we can sort the problem out once and for all is for me to claim my pack. Asher is onboard up to the point where they mention that Liam has the right to challenge me if the pack chooses me as their alpha. It is one big mess that I think I am completely done with.“No. I’m done with all of them.” I shake my head. I have a pack. I have a home, and it’s not that. Why do I need to fight for people who don’t lift a finger to fight for me? My mind goes straight to the fact that they said they didn’t know what was going on, but I didn’t believe that.The council leaves without the answer that they wanted. I can’t imagine going there. I can’t imagine facing people who don’t care about me. Asher and I return to his office and I can feel that he wants to say something, but I let him stew about it for a while. I have to stew with i

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
