Ethan

As soon as everyone was seated, the main reason for the emergency meeting had been discussed. Everyone had been notified of the new alpha. Since we were all gathered, everyone gave their reports on how their pack was doing. After everyone had given their report, hours had passed.

When everyone was done, I stood and updated the packs on the progress we were making on the new system. If it continued to do well, Odis and I would be traveling to each pack and installing it into the packs who wanted it. The rogue issue was something we all had been grappling with and from what I knew, everyone was on board with installing the new system.

After the meeting, many of the alphas hung around to chat. A handful of them had excused themselves. I wasn’t surprised, we had all been notified this morning and not everyone had received word until later.

A few of the other alphas approached me.

  • The Forbidden Alpha   Peril

    AdeaBriana had won against her opponent again today too. If I had forfeited that day, I could have avoided being knocked out and I would not have had to take a break. I would be participating today. It was a mistake I wouldn’t repeat again. Next time, if I knew I could not win, I would tap out and continue trying.While I’d been watching Briana during her sparring session, I didn’t see a single opening. The entire time she faced her opponent, despite knowing he wasn’t as strong as her, not once did she drop her guard. It was frustrating, to say the least, but I couldn’t help but admire her.After grumbling about it for a good amount of time, the idea hit me like a lightning bolt out of the sky. Briana didn’t have any weak spots or openings but I could create one. If I could do that, then I could land a hit and weaken her or possibly take her down. My goal and wh

  • The Forbidden Alpha   Confused

    AdeaGabe pulls me from the field and with a nod to Gamma Darci, the three of us are gone. I squeeze Gabe’s hand and smile at him as Leo follows from close behind. I’d been so focused on Briana that I hadn’t paid any attention to Gabe. Today shouldn’t be as stressful as I’ve made it. I had a plan in mind and I could think more about it later tonight.For now, I would focus on loosening up and hanging out with my best friend. Leaning into him, as he had done earlier, an idea came to mind. I threw my weight against him and he stumbled as he tried to hold me.“Damn, Ady! What are you trying to do? Squish me??” Gabe asked. The incredulous look on his face had me bursting out in laughter, I almost teared up.“Help,” I gasp, “gravity is increasing on me.” I push the back of my hand against my forehead and close my eyes.

  • The Forbidden Alpha   Flirt

    AdeaGabe and I watched Leo as he took a seat on the couch across from us. He looked bored and I wondered more about his background. As Gabe leaned forward, his eyes on Leo, Leo’s eyes on Gabe. Leo’s eyes ignited with something I knew instantly as lust. While Gabe’s eyes had a look of curiosity.Who was Leo? After a solid five minutes of Gabe and Leo eye fucking each other in silence, I decided to step in. Gabe laughed at me like it wasn’t possible for them to go at it right here on the couch.“What do you do for fun, Leo?” I asked. “When you’re not saving the world and fighting innocent young women?”“You mean when I’m not kicking ass?” Leo asked with a cocky smirk. “The same thing I did before I came here; work out. I like challenging myself on a daily basis and I don’t like losing.” He gave me a l

  • The Forbidden Alpha   Deep throat

    AdeaGabe fought the smile on his face but I couldn’t help it. My eyes darted to Leo and the smile on his face said he didn’t believe Gabe for one second.“Or maybe the opportunity hasn’t presented itself to you yet,” Leo said. “Maybe,” Leo continued as he leaned forward, his forearms on his thighs, his eyes trained on Gabe, “you’d mingle if a hot muscular sexy man gave himself to you.”Gabe didn’t flinch or show any sign of being affected by Leo’s words. He just stared back at him like they were talking about the weather. I felt warm and I fought the urge to fan myself as I watched them.“Maybe,” Gabe said as he leaned forward, “not.”The sexual tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. If it went any longer the electricity in the air would combust. Just when

  • The Forbidden Alpha   Who?

    AdeaFor a moment, Gabe and I stare at the little boy in shock. The last time I’d seen him had been a long time and it was before. Before Olivia, before the Ceremony, just before. When Odis showed up at the daycare with wide eyes and his heart thumping, I figured he was his little brother or a family member. I didn’t think of the color of his eyes and I didn’t try and piece together who he looked like.It felt like I had slammed into a brick wall and Olivia wasn’t even my mate. I don’t know what this was doing to Gabe or what he was thinking. The woman hesitates and I realize she’d been talking. I didn’t hear her and when I turned to Gabe, he was still staring at the boy. So I knew he missed whatever she said too.I apologized for my rudeness and asked her to repeat what she had said. The woman hesitated for a moment, her forehead crinkling, her eyebrows furrowing as she

  • The Forbidden Alpha   Complicated

    GabeDad. He said dad, his dad’s name is Odee. A four-syllable name, there are a lot of four-syllable names. In this pack? One that starts with an O? One that I had been screaming the past weekend? Oh, my Goddess. It could just be a coincidence. A coincidence? I almost snorted. I think not.How could this have happened? When would this have happened? If this was what I thought it was… why didn’t I know? I didn’t know this whole time. No one told me anything. Why didn’t anyone tell me?!I was sitting in a sinking ship in the middle of the ocean. The walls were caving in on me and the water was starting to seep in. My worries and thoughts were starting to fill the room. It was quickly rising and I wasn’t sure I could keep calm.The day the rogues attacked and Ady had saved him. I remembered that day because I had been there too. I was there with her, I&r

  • The Forbidden Alpha   Secret

    GabeIt wasn’t jealousy that had me ready to break down, it was the feeling of betrayal. He wasn’t a baby, he’d been on this earth for years. If his nanny hadn’t brought him here, would I have ever known? Would Odis have kept me at arm’s length to keep him a secret from me?The child wasn’t an issue. I didn’t have a problem with him. It’s the fact that I didn’t know about the said child. I never would have known about him if not for this chance meeting. I still wasn’t sure how I felt about him.I was mad but not about him. I wasn’t mad that there was a history I didn’t know about. I wasn’t mad that the history I thought I knew wasn’t that. I wasn’t mad that there was a shit load of time that was unaccounted for. I wasn’t mad that she kept him a secret from me.I was mad that now that I knew and

  • The Forbidden Alpha   The gun

    GabeNever have I ever seen Odis look as shocked as she does now. Paul hasn’t seen Odis yet, he’s too busy looking at Leo in awe. Odis came to a stop and I watched as his face went from one of shock to one of confusion. Every fiber in my body told me to get up and leave but I couldn’t, not yet.A warm hand touched the top of mine and I turned to find Ady’s hand squeezing my own. Her mate stood by her side and stared at me with an understanding look. I swallowed back the sour taste of their pity.I waited, I waited for something as I tracked his every movement and slight expression changes. I watched as Odis’s eyes left Paul and slowly slid to me. I don’t know what I wanted to see but what stared back at me wasn’t it. It wasn’t enough.He took a step forward, his eyes searching my face as his lips parted. I don’t know what I expect him

  • The Forbidden Alpha   Epilogue

    The first month back at Desert Moon had been hard. Not a day went by without us fighting. Ethan rejected Mavy as his mate before we came home. A part of me knew he was hurt about it, missed her like I missed Shane. I felt like he was only with me because I was his Luna, because of obligation and duty. I didn’t know why he wanted to be with me. He didn’t know why I was with him when I loved Shane. We were at our lowest. We were ugly, we were at our rawest. It wasn’t until month two that we finally talked about everything. We talked bout what happened and we talked about the past. The one that I remembered and by this time, the one that he remembered. It was hard, facing the man I loved in this life and the man I hated in the past. He wasn’t him anymore, he hadn’t been him for a long time. We dug into the past and were completely honest with each other. He fell to his knees and apologized for what he’d done even though I told him it wasn’t him, that wasn’t him anymore. He asked me if I

  • The Forbidden Alpha   I love you

    Mavy fell back as if she’d been physically struck. She collapsed on the couch, her eyes watering. She didn’t look back at me, she kept her gaze focused on Ethan. I watched as her world crashed around her again for the second time in five minutes.“Where does that leave me?” Mavy asked. “I’m… your…” she shook her head and turned to look back at Ethan. “That’s not possible. I’m… I can smell it. I can feel it. Can’t you?” Mavy whispered. I heard the desperation in her voice.“I don’t care what you think or how you feel. I am already mated and my mate, my partner, my love, MY QUEEN sits in this room. Don’t disrespect her again.” The emotion in his voice caused me to choke up. Mavy bit into her lower lip and tears streamed down her cheeks. She dropped her head.“Yes, Alpha,” she said submissively.“I killed your Alpha,” Ethan said. “I’ve killed your brother.”“Yes,” she murmured.“Will you fight me on this?” Ethan asked.“As the next in line, I submit to you,” Mavy whispered.Ethan dismiss

  • The Forbidden Alpha   Mated

    The voices were getting louder, my head was hurting. I wanted to roll up into a ball and disappear from the world. Instead, I closed my eyes and tried to drown it all out, trying to ignore everyone. I wasn’t ready to deal with it.“She’s in shock…”“She’s confused…”“Enough!”A door slammed and footsteps paddled quickly towards me. Soft frail arms wrapped around me. Tears soaked my cheeks and my neck as Mavy cried. Did she know? She had to know.“Are you okay?” Mavy sobbed.I wrapped my arms around her and nodded. The tears started up again and streamed down my cheeks. Her t-shirt bunched in my fingers as I held her close. We cried and held each other.She inhaled deeply and froze. Slowly, she lifted her nose into the air and took another deep breath. Turning from me, she tried to follow the scent. She stopped, her gaze locked on someone, I turned and followed her gaze.I should have known, expected it but I’d been so caught up in my feelings that I didn’t think. I don’t know how it w

  • The Forbidden Alpha   Over

    I didn’t have an answer for him and I don’t think he would have liked what I would have said. Hell, I didn’t know if I liked what I thought or how I felt. Instead of hurting him and cutting myself open for him, I didn’t say anything. I remained quiet. My world was crashing around me and my ears were ringing. I lowered my head and the tears flowed of their own volition.Ethan leaned down and I flinched as his arms wrapped around me. They were strong and broad. His embrace was warm and promised I could lean on him. I attempted to get to my feet only to fall. My face twisted from the pain and I wanted to cry and wallow in my own self-pity. Standing, he pulled me up and held me as my body gave up. I collapsed against him.I wanted to get to Shane, needed to. As if on cue, the weak mate bond snapped, and just like in my dream, it was gone. Only, this time, the pain I was feeling was because of Shane and not because of Ethan. The world was cold, the warmth I’d been able to feel from Shane f

  • The Forbidden Alpha   King

    Did what I do to him last night not bother him? I betrayed him. Did he not care that I came here to hurt him? Did he not care that I chose Ethan? I wanted to cry and scream. I wanted to run into his arms. I wanted this to stop. I wanted them to stop fighting. I wanted it all to stop. I screamed, it was painful and gut-wrenching but I screamed. I cursed the Goddess, damn her, she was useless in all of this. She sat up there above the clouds and did nothing to help us. Did she enjoy watching us suffer? When I couldn’t scream anymore, I inhaled deep breaths of air. I looked up and froze as Shane stared back at me. The way he looked at me told me he knew he was going to die. The look in his eye told me he knew he lost but for me, there was a small spark as if he wouldn’t just lay down and take it. I watched Ethan punch him. It was as if he was moving in slow motion. He hit his jaw and Shane’s head snapped back hard against the ground. Shane’s body tensed and he punched Ethan in the gut.

  • The Forbidden Alpha   Full of shit

    For a moment in time, they stood glaring at each other. The sun was blaring down on us. My gaze darted back and forth between the two. Shane’s eyes wandered away from Ethan and landed on me. “Look at me, mutt. You don’t get to look at her after what you’ve done,” Ethan spat. “I’m not so weak that you can look away from me in the middle of a fight.” “What have I done?” Shane taunted. “You’ve touched what’s mine,” Ethan growled. “I haven’t done anything other than touch what is mine. I haven’t done anything but make love to what is mine. I’ve claimed her. She may not wear my mark, thief but she is mine. Don’t claim her as yours. She was mine, she was always mine. She doesn’t belong to you, she never did.” A look came over Ethan’s face as if he knew as if this was confirmation as if he was reminded of something he’d forgotten. “You’re the one who touched someone who wasn’t yours. You are the one who took what was mine. Don’t try to play the victim. Don’t pretend to be something you’re

  • The Forbidden Alpha   Die

    No.Not Odis.“Devin,” I gasped.Devin heard me but didn’t stop. He didn’t look up at me, didn’t even hesitate as he continued to stomp Odis into the ground. Blood spurt from Odis’ mouth and I think I heard his ribs crack. I took a step closer to stop it, to stop him. In a flash, someone was on top of Devin. Strong arms held Devin’s prisoner in a headlock and his legs wrapped around Devin’s abdomen.I wanted to scream but it quickly died in my throat as Odis and I realized the man in front of me was Gabe. Gabe. It was Gabe and he was on top of Devin. Well, he was wrapped around him like a python ready to suffocate his prey. Gabe grunted as he continued to squeeze Devin’s head, blocking his airflow.I wanted to cry out happily but I couldn’t. Gabe was here. Why was he here? He wasn’t supposed to be here. Things were going differently since he was alive. He was standing, breathing, his head was still attached to his body. Maybe things were turning out differently.Maybe Gabe was safe, ma

    “Do you understand what I’m saying?” Odis asked. I couldn’t find the words to speak, so I nodded. “Good,” Odis said as his grip on me loosened. “Why don’t you let her go?” A voice called out to us. Looking up, I searched for the source of the voice. My eyes widened as I found Devin watching up. His gaze locked around Odis’ arms that were still wrapped around me to his hands that gripped my arms. “I promise I’m more fun,” Devin teased. I know what it looked like. It looked like I was being held back from moving. It looked like Odis was stopping me from helping Shane. It looked like I was stuck between two packs, two men. The situation I found myself in was precarious. I was now stuck between two Betas who were supposed to protect me, despite their conflicting thoughts regarding me. I hadn’t had much time with Devin since I’d been back. He hadn’t been the nicest, shit, I don’t think he even liked me. That didn’t change the fact that Devin was Beta of Half Moon pack. Shane was his

  • The Forbidden Alpha   Fate

    I didn’t have an answer and I prayed I didn’t have to make the choice. Not only had everyone stopped moving but it had gone deathly silent. For a moment, everyone and everything froze. There wasn’t a whisper of wind in the air, the trees stood still, and it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. It was the calm before the storm. It felt like someone had pushed the pause button and all at once the play button was pressed and all hell broke loose. As if planned, the two of them ran toward each other. I looked past Ethan and my gaze landed on Shane’s chest. The sword had been taken out, a gaping hole was left in its place right next to his heart. Now that it was gone, I could see I had barely missed his heart. If I’d been one inch to the right, he would have died. How had I missed that? I didn’t kill him. Was I not paying attention? Why hadn’t I looked at his heart? I had aimed, hadn’t I? Had I meant to miss it? No, I had meant it, or else I wouldn’t have stabbed him at all. I tried to
