The Alpha's True Love Chapter 10 - We are whipped!
Isabella“I don’t want to pry, and please, if I’m overstepping, you have to tell me, but how did his father die?” I have been wondering about it for a while. Not that I have been there very long. Curiosity got the better of me. I want to know more about the man who raised Asher. I want to know more about the people who are kind enough to take me in and take care of me.“Well, I wouldn’t discuss it in front of Asher, but he was killed.” As soon as I see the sadness in her eyes, I feel terrible for asking. I don’t push, and she doesn’t tell me anymore about Asher’s father. “Asher reminds me so much of his father. He is strong and determined.” She laughs. “And a little pigheaded from time to time.”“I guess, I’m just surprised that he is taking such an interest in me.” I shrug feeling instantly shocked at my own words. I didn’t even realize that was how I was feeling, but it is. What is so special about me besides the fact that I have no memories?“Well, my son is intrigued by you.” Lisa

IsabellaI wake up in the early hours of the morning, and I can still smell the scent of his aftershave on the pillow beside me, but he isn’t there. I feel better than I have in a while and I notice that my body isn’t as sore as it has been. After a shower and a clean, new set of clothes, I make my way to the kitchen, where I’m surprised to find Lisa.“Good morning, honey. Sleep well?” She is wearing an apron which I find strangely familiar, and I smell the scent of pancakes and sweet syrup.“Good morning, yes and yourself?” I smile as she gestures for me to take a seat. There is freshly squeezed orange juice, and she places a plate filled with pancakes in front of me as soon as I sit down.“Amazing. It’s wonderful what a good night’s rest can do for the body, mind and spirit.” Lisa beams as she sits down. “Dig in. You need to eat so you can heal.”“It is strange. I feel so much better this morning.” I frown. “Where is Asher?” I see something flash in her eyes before she smiles.“He h

AsherWe couldn’t just storm in. I couldn’t just claim Isabella. At least, not until she had her memory back and could confirm what we already suspect. What I could do was spy on her pack. I could gather the evidence we needed that would back up her story.The plan is to try and spy on her pack in their pack grounds, but we quickly find out that their borders are too far and their pack house is too well hidden. Since we can’t let them figure out what we were up to, we can’t even think about crossing the border.I try to talk to some of the neighbouring packs, but the only information we get is more of what we already know. They are very secretive. There are rumours of abuse, but nobody has concrete proof, and everyone seems to agree that Adam is a prick.After two days of dodging questions and making sure that nobody suspects that Isabella is with us, I finally return home. We don’t have much more than we knew before, which means we will have to depend on Isabella’s memories.The news

IsabellaLisa’s advice the past two days has been to take it one step at a time. Most importantly, she wants me to only think about the flashes when they happen. She believes if I don’t dwell on them too much it might just help me to get through the next one a little easier.For some strange reason, I feel better knowing Asher is back, and when he asks me to go for a walk, excitement kind of takes over. My heart starts to race as we get closer to the door and when we reach the threshold, I stop.It feels as though there is an invisible barrier all of a sudden and if I were to try and cross it, I would somehow be hurt. I look at the floor and then at Asher and I can feel the panic rising from deep inside. It’s too much. It’s too fast. I can’t!“Would you mind if I tried something?” His eyes fill with kindness and I nod. The moment he picks me up bridal style, I’m stunned into silence. He smiles and takes one step, crossing the threshold. “That wasn’t so bad, was it?” He smiles, and I r

AsherPacing back and forth in the library after what Isabella told us, makes me feel like a caged animal. Having to sit there and listen nearly forced my wolf out. Pacing is all I could do at the moment to keep him locked away. I can’t let Isabella see him yet. Not until she has her full memory back.“Son, you need to calm down. Don’t do whatever it is that mind of yours is planning.” My mom looks far too calm for my liking as she sits there blinking at me.“Did we just hear the same thing? Do you understand what they did to her?” I lose grip on my anger in my attempt to keep my wolf in check.“I heard, and it is awful, but running out of here and tearing whoever did this to her apart isn’t going to win her over. It’s not going to make it better. It’s over. It has already happened. All we can do now is to show her a better life.” She’s right. I know she is right, but I still want to tear something limb from limb!“Okay, so what do you suggest that I do?” I sigh and finally sit down b
Last Updated : 2024-11-10The Alpha's True Love Chapter 15 - A flood of memories.
IsabellaI wonder only for a moment if he is talking about the wild animals or actually himself. I have to push the idea to the back of my mind because it is just too ludicrous to think about. I don’t know if I read about fairy tale creatures or if I saw them on television, but I know for a fact that they can’t possibly exist.“I know I’m asking very personal questions, and you really don’t have to answer me, but how do you afford all of this?” I frown noting the slight smile again. He seems to relax again and explains that they have a couple of businesses both right there and in the nearby town that make enough money to support all the people living there.He talks about their green house and the fact that they also grow a lot of their food themselves and I really want to see it all, but just the thought of going outside sends a rush of adrenaline through my veins, and it is as though it activates my memories.I see my own hands this time. I’m busy peeling vegetables when I feel some

IsabellaThe second I open my eyes, everything comes flooding right back, and I take a deep breath to try and calm my mind. I look around my empty room, and remember that Asher and his mom was there. When the dizziness subsides, I slowly get up and take a long hot shower before getting dressed and going to look for Asher. As I half expected, I find them in his office and I can see that they have clearly been fighting.“Hi.” My voice sounds strange for a moment. There are so many facts flooding my mind still that I find it difficult to talk for a moment while Asher rushes to invite me in and his mother’s concerned eyes follow my every move. I sit down and wait for Asher to take his seat before trying to make sense of of everything I remember.“I’m Isabella by the way.” I start with a sheepish smile. As I look into Asher’s eyes, it feels as if he already knew that. I have a feeling that I will soon find out.“Take it slow, sweetheart. You have just been through a lot. I don’t want you t

IsabellaAlthough my flashes tell me that my memory coming back should not be a relief, I still hoped. Sadly, my memory coming back brings me no relief at all. I have been mistreated in the worst possible ways by the people who were meant to love me.When the realization of why suddenly hits me, I look at Asher and then at Lisa and for a moment it feels as if my heart doesn’t just skip a beat, but it stops working. I know what I am, and I know what they are. I’m astonished that I didn’t notice sooner what they were, which only means Asher probably ordered all of his wolves not to shift.“I’ve …” My throat suddenly dries out. He is going to reject me as soon as I say it. I just know it, but I need to tell him. Something inside me just wants to get it over with. “I’ve never shifted. I can’t shift.” I feel the tears burning the back of my eyes, but I can’t look at either of them. I hear Lisa gasp.“Okay, wait a minute. You can’t shift or you won’t. There is a difference. Or maybe you wer

The Alpha's True Love Chapter 74 - I don't!
CamilleBen and I spend hours combing through everything, and in the end, we agree that there must be something wrong with their data. There has to be. There is no way the council would have put everyone through a war and through years of anguish for a lie.“We have no other choice. We are going to have to go to his territory to look at this.” Ben frowns and I roll my eyes. I really don’t want to go there. Especially not after he refused to accept my rejection. I glare at Ben and he bursts out laughing.“This is not funny, Ben!” I growl.“I know. I know, but you have to admit it is a little funny though.” It’s really not! I keep glaring at him and eventually just sigh.“Fine, just make the arrangements, but I want to show our strength when we go there.” I pour each of us a drink and hand him one. My hands are actually shaking at the thought of going into his territory. How many of his pack members know that we are mates? I try to force all thoughts of him out of my mind.“If too many
The Alpha's True Love Chapter 73 - Was that a first date?
CamilleMy pack is on high alert. We are expecting an attack at any moment because I didn’t just blindly follow the rest of the idiots in the region. With the old council, they would definitely have attacked if I did that.What is happening now is throwing me for a big loop. A couple of days go by and there is no response from anyone from this new group they have created. They refuse to call it a council, which makes me wonder if they even realize their stupid treaty had made them a council.Just as I’m on the verge of strangling a poor omega out of frustration because they are making me wait, I get the news that Alpha Oliver is at the border. I don’t want to rush there. He made me wait, so it’s only fair that I repay the favour.I’m surprised this time to find that none of the others are with him this time. He introduces me to his beta and the head of his gamma guard and I have to fight the urge to roll my eyes. It doesn’t matter who they are.I don’t intend on seeing them again afte
The Alpha's True Love Chapter 72 - True love will find a way, won't it?
OliverWhen I heard that she was back, I nearly had a heart attack. My spies have been keeping an eye on the only open territory ever since we signed the treaty. I was hoping she would come back. That we would be able to figure it all out.Even if she used to be my enemy. She wasn’t my enemy anymore. At least, I hope not. As soon as I receive word that she and her pack are back, I call every alpha who signed the treaty. We put that one condition in it to protect all of us, but also because Camille’s pack was still missing.Everyone agreed that it is important for all of us to be on the same page. Before long, we met up and made our way to her border. I could smell her coming. My heart skips a beat the moment I see her. I don’t have to see her in her human form to know which wolf is hers.When she comes walking over, I have to bite my tongue to remind myself why we are there. She’s even more beautiful than I remembered, but I also just got a quick look at her. When she looks at me, it
The Alpha's True Love Chapter 71 - I am the proof ...
CamilleI can’t believe what I’m hearing. At first, I blame myself for leaving. If we stayed, maybe the council would still exist. But I also realize that if we stayed, humans would have found us. That is evident from the upturned homes we walked into. The humans literally left no stone unturned when they were there. I look at Ben.“Who is running things now?” I’m almost too scared to ask, but if we are going to make a life for ourselves in our own home, I need to know.“Nobody.” Ben looks even more stunned. Almost as though he doesn’t know what to do next. I tilt my head to one side and I know I have my what the f@ck look written all over it. “All the packs signed some kind of treaty. Each pack now decides their own fate within the confines of the agreed treaty, but there is nobody that is completely in charge.” He shrugs, looking almost defeated.All those lives. The weight of it falls squarely on my shoulders as I think about everyone who died for this cause, only for the council t
The Alpha's True Love Chapter 70 - It's over ...
CamilleTwo years pass by as we settle into our new life, and we even have the odd human family making a pit stop at our diner on their way to their destination. All the while, we are keeping a close eye on the investigation. The news reports are fewer, but it is clear that they will be searching for the guilty person until they find one.I am faced with two choices. The pack is becoming a little restless about being so out in the open. I don’t think we are, but I need to do what is best for them. I have to decide if we are going back home or if we are going to find somewhere more secluded.OliverWe’ve had two years of peace and after a long process of negotiation and a lot of back and forth with proof, we finally get to a point where there is no werewolf council anymore. After we had the chance to properly present our evidence, which of course included me as an example, they couldn’t deny it.Sadly, some still didn’t believe us and, in the end, it was decided that each pack should l
The Alpha's True Love Chapter 69 - Finding a home.
OliverSadly, I can’t ask around about her because the law hasn’t been changed yet. Our pack has been secretly allowing destined mates to be together after my fourteenth birthday, but because of the war, many people didn’t want to actually take the step.If your mate was killed, then it could kill you. There is just so much to think about. So much to consider that I don’t even think it is worth it. Which each time brings me to step two, which is rejecting her. If I don’t, I won’t have the possibility of finding a second-chance mate.That brings us back to the packs who still believe the lie that the council told everyone. It is a vicious cycle that won’t have an end until the day it is all over. People have to believe that the council was lying. I sit in silence while my parents discuss my mate situation.I can’t see a solution, and honestly, I have nothing to add.CamilleI have been running for days. I don’t even want to shift to my human form for fear that it would hurt too much. I
The Alpha's True Love Chapter 68 - Possibilities ...
OliverFor weeks, we follow the news closely, but it seems the human police won’t be able to find the pack that turned the humans. My father has been in contact with one or two of the council members, and they apparently want to come to a truce.We don’t believe them, of course. Any meeting that is arranged by them will only be a trap. My mind drifts to my mate as I watch the television in the hopes that I will see her being arrested. At least, then I would know where she is, and I will be able to find out who she is.Since that hasn’t happened, I decide not to tell my parents just yet. Things are tense enough as it is. The last thing they need right now is to find out that my destined mate is the enemy. Especially after all this started, so I can have a happy life with my destined mate.I know that my parents didn’t do it just for me, but I can’t help but feel the weight of it all resting squarely on my shoulders. Since we aren’t sure if the war is really over or not, my parents deci
The Alpha's True Love Chapter 67 - Turning the tides.
OliverIt quickly becomes clear that we aren’t going to win this war. The council’s packs keep turning humans into werewolves to boost their numbers, and we keep killing them, but we are also losing numbers that we can’t recuperate. On top of that, my mate is fighting for the enemy.“Son, I know you are tired. We are all tired, but we have to keep going.” My dad pats me on the shoulder during a moment of peace, but I don’t have time to even answer before the next wave of attacks comes down on us.“Dad, we have to do something. Our people aren’t going to hold out for much longer.” I mind link him. We have to plan something drastic to stop the war. “Fighting clearly isn’t getting us anywhere.” I look in his direction as he takes down another wolf and he nods.We fight until there is nothing left, and then we fight some more, and finally they seem to let up. The air is thick with the smell of death when we return home and I don’t even look at burning heaps anymore. I wonder what people w
The Alpha's True Love Chapter 66 - My mate is the enemy!
AliceThe council tried to avoid Luke’s two-day deadline, and show up on our doorstep on the third day just to prove that we won’t tell them what to do. Luke has already been making calls to our allies and I hate to admit it, but as usual, he is right.The council didn’t intend on figuring things out. They were making plans to attack and get rid of us. That way, they would be able to save face in front of everyone else. They wouldn’t have to admit to their lies, and they could just carry on lying to everyone. “What are you doing here?” Luke glares at the head of the council standing on the other side of the gates. There are no fences around our territory, so the gates are purely symbolic.“Luke, you have to be reasonable. I’ve come to ask for more time. This is not a decision we take lightly. We can’t just turn around and tell everyone we were wrong. The packs will stop believing in us and chaos will ensue.” I note that the young challenger isn’t among the group and I tell Luke throu
