Natalie’s POV.And this is something I am used to. Lexie framing me and Adam accusing me for hurting her.Everyone present is looking at me as if they are waiting to see a big fight. What should I do? Should I offer them the circus that they are expecting? Should I ban Lexie and beat her for good?No. I don’t care about their opinion regarding me. This time I will let Lexie make herself show her true colors. In the past I tried so much to explain to Adam, to my pack members that I never did what she was accusing me. I fight, but this time I don’t want to do that. There is a quote that says that Lady does protest too much, methinks. Well you stress myself about the truth when I already know that I will only help Lexie to gain sympathy doing it.She wants to frame me? She wants to accuse me for something I didn’t do. Let her be!“You!” Adam said and came in my direction completely outraged.“What the hell is in your stupid head to touch her?”Yeah, Adam…continue please, show me how muc
Author’s POV.Alexander roared, making the entire office tremble.“And why can’t she visit Shadow Pack?” he asked in a demanding voice but Adam just stared at him for a second, shocked by his force and power.Since he left the Red Blood Pack yesterday all he did was to think of Natalie. His inner desire for her erupted during their little encounter and if until yesterday he was only assuming that his interest for her may be related with a fated mate bond, yesterday he had the confirmation.Kissing her neck and touching her, holding her in his arms made Kenji claim her as his fated mate. It was her. This is why she looked for her for so many years. This is why he was fascinated by that little girl who saved him when he was ten. He was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, you could say, because he was the Alpha of the strongest pack in the world. But he suffered until he became the Alpha. His mother was killed when he was at the age of six and marrying another woman his father stripp
Alex looked at Natalie and his eyes started to glow. She in his arms looking into his eyes, and their lips were so close that he could kiss her. She was staring at him and he could feel that she was affected by his presence too.But what made him lose his focus was her wonderful scent, that was making him feel dizzy. She was so close to him that he could feel her as if her sweet rose scent could be tasted. And he couldn’t stop himself from asking himself how it would be the taste of her lips, her flavor in his hands, her flavor in his entire system. If he would be with her, in her, if they would simply be one body, how they will melt together.He said nothing. Either Natalie. They just looked into each other eyes and kept their breaths. Natalie’s face was blushed and her eyes were shining too at the mere presence of Alexander. He caressed her face with the pit of his fingers and arranged her hair, pushing it back, so that he could inspect her mark.He looked into her eyes, because he
Hearing Kelly, even it was more like a whisper, Natalie’s face enlightened and that did not escape from Alex's keen gaze. He saw a little glow in her eyes, something he missed in the last few days and he realized that that must be only because Kelly showed up.“You are smiling” he said , while caressing her cheek with his fingers, leaving behind those sweet tingles.“I am happy” she told him and there was no intention to push him away, but only an excitement that Alex could clearly see.“It’s about my wolf” she said and she realized that she was more than happy to share this with him, and not only because he was the only one who sensed Kelly’s absence but because he was giving her a good vibe. He is one of those good vibes that makes her soul vibrate, and she realized that this is why she wanted to push him away. She is happy around him and she can’t rely on a man who will never be her.“ She was here, Alex” and as she said that she relaxed in his lap.“It was just for a second but at
Alexander’s POV.“What happened ?” I ask Evan. If he fooled around to make me leave Natalie I would break his legs. I know he likes her, but she is mine. I saw his sour attitude when it comes to Natalie and he is teasing me about becoming a puppet for a woman, but I saw the way he was looking at her at the Annual Alphas Party. He would love to be in my place.“Shit happened, what do you think?” he asked me back, making me look at him perplexed. Well if he is just pissed off there is no need to kick his ass here, so I mindlink him and say:“My office, now, Evan.”“You don’t need to growl at me,” he said, opening the door for me” I know that you want to be with your master but this is important.” and he motioned me to enter my own office.“Leave the crap, man, because I am not in the mood.” I say this because Kenji is pressing me to go after Natalie.“You were already gone in the morning when Kendrick came with news from our border's watch points. Something is happening near our pack a
Author’s POV.Natalie walked by Alex’s side and said nothing as a lot of thoughts were running through her mind, confusing her. Every time she was close to Alex she was feeling so good to the point she was starting to feel guilty about that. She was still married to Adam, even if he was a cheater he was still her husband. The revenge was never about finding another man to rely on or about cheating Adam to annoy him. She is not that kind of woman and she is furious with herself for being attracted to AlexAlex showed her his apartment and the third floor which ends with a huge balcony from where you can see everything in front of the packhouse and Natalie was impressed and she couldn’t stop herself from wondering what kind of pack Shadow Pack is and how hard working must everyone be.She saw the kitchens and the dining areas. Is not one like she has in Red Blood Pack where only the Alpha’s family and the top ranked werewolves can serve their meals , here are at least four other kitche
Natalie’s POV.Back in her room , Natalie was leaning in bed and she was tormented by her own actions towards Alex. Why did she decline his offer to help her retrieve Kelly? This is something she wants with all her what, she wants to see Kelly happy again and back in her life . The absence of Kelly turned her mood upside down so why the hell did she refuse him without even asking him how he intended to help her?And this question made her become even more confused. Is it because she has feelings for him? He is perfect, she admits that. He is strong, handsome and protective of her, and she likes to have him around. She likes the attention he is giving her.“Oh my goddess…” She whispered. “I have feelings for Alexander Štěpánek's ? Is this why I refused him? “ But before she could scold herself for the way she feels about Alex, her phone suddenly rang.“How’s my favorite bitch?” Judy asks immediately, making Natalie laugh hearing her voice.“Enjoying the peace, Judy, '' Natalie said so
Natalie’s POV.“You are safe” that’s what Alex said and he took me in his arms. I could sense the tension in his body as he was holding me. Oh my goddess! My body is pressed on his body as if we are trying to merge the two of us in one body.And what is shocking me the most is the fact…that I love this sensation. Right now my heart beats as if I just finished running the marathon but I just woke up from a nightmare. It is hard to explain how I feel, it is so inappropriate what I want to do right now, that I am ashamed of myself, but I find myself doing anyway.My hands are placed on Alex’s chest. Shit, I feel like going crazy only touching his chest like this and staring at what I am doing I realized that I tore his shirt to pieces, most probably while I was struggling to wake up from my nightmare.“It’s alright” he says and I watch him as he takes off his shirt, or what was left of it and right now my breath just stopped. I am still on his lap and he is holding me tight with his lef
“What’s with that face?” Phillip asks Alex, seeing him with a sullen face, as he was watching somewhere outside the window, but Alex said nothing as he was grumpy.“Do you know what is wrong with him?” he asked Evan but he just shrugged his shoulders.“I have no idea. And now that you mentioned it you are right, he will always have that Grinch face. He looks normal only when Natalie is around.” and both Phillip and Evan came closer and looked outside the window to see what made Alex pissed off.Right there in the middle of the backyard garden, right beside the pool area, on two Manutti Kobo sun loungers Aida, Judy and Natalie were laughing their hearts out and giggling while they were playing with Judy and Evan’s twins.The babies are three months older and they are the cutest babies, being a perfect combination between Judy and Evan, who are so alike with Margot Robbie and Judd law.They called the girl Jade and the boy Rocco. They have thin blonde hair and the biggest blue eyes you
TWO MONTHS LATER.It’s been two months since Jerel and Lexie died, since all the alphas of the Eastern Packs came and asked Alexander to be their king, and yet both Alex and Natalie still think they're living a dream. I suppose that sometimes you are so used to the tragedy and the drama that when the time comes to be happy, you are still on alert.Today is the coronation day for them and also their wedding day because with everything that happened and everything that followed after that their lives were intense. They almost forgot what it's like to wake up in the morning and have a normal day.Everything revolved around the restoration of the Shadow’s packhouse, on the construction of a place for the Sunrise pack and even if Alex was the one in charge with this task, Natalie was working all day long on the social component of the two packs, being both Luna and Alpha at the same time.Evan and Judy are helping them and they got married a month ago when Judy finally marked the poor man
Alex started to laugh but seeing how serious the Alphas were he stopped.“You are not kidding me.” He said in the end.“We are serious. We want you as our Alpha King of Eastern Packs.“This is not a decision for the Council. You are just a part of this story, there are so many other packs. I can't force them to submit to me.” and Alex was damned right, but the leader opened the door and said.“Why don’t you go outside?”Alex stepped outside the house and he was shocked. Natalie followed her and she covered her mouth with her hands, but the moment Evan, Judy, Phillip and Livia exited Judy exclaimed.“Are you nuts? You must accept!” and hearing her Alex looked at her like she was crazy.“I may be a damned good Alpha but nothing recommends me as a king!”“You must be hit in your head!” Judy said, and that made Alex growl at her, because Kenji was offended, but Judy continued.“You are a good leader. You have a strategic mind and under this papa bear and scaring bogeyman wolfy you are the
Losing Adam shattered Natalie's heart, but it was not the time to dwell in grief. She looked at Phillip and him to lead the search and rescue team that arrived later from Jerel’s to look after Adam's body. She had to leave immediately to join Alexander's pack and stand side by side with him.As soon as Adam died the alarm echoed and she found out that the pack was under attack again. Alex was fighting in the battle against the bears.Natalie and Judy, along with their warriors from the Sunrise Pack, set out. They quickly arrived in Alexander's territory where they were fighting. Natalie signaled her warriors to join the battle against the bears, while she went to find Alexander. Along the way, she fought off many enemies. Just as she saw Alexander battling a group of bears, attempting to bite him, a massive bear appeared, roaring and aiming to tear Natalie to shreds. In the nick of time, Alexander arrived.Alexander's wolf form engaged in a fierce battle with the bear. Eventually, he
Natalie looked up to see Lexie, who was filled with rage. She considered Natalie responsible for everything bad in her life. She lost Jerel because of Natalie, as he marked her. And when she found our that Jerel had callously destroyed the house without regard for her life or for his own pup’s life , that had driven Lexie to madness, and she blamed Natalie for everything.She was Jerel’s favorite until Natalie came into the picture.Without Natalie’s presence now she would have killed Adam and taken his pack, maybe Alex too, and she would have been Jerel’s Luna. But no! Natalie ruined everything.So she escaped from the dungeons and took a bow and arrow she found in her way and when she saw Adam and Natalie, with Adam almost begging for forgiveness she couldn’t take it.She fixed the bow in that arrow and released the bow , while intending to kill Natalie.She failed even in doing that!She would have killed Adam later, but now all she wanted, all she needed was to see Natalie dead!“
Author’s POV.“Evan!” Alex called him as soon as he and Natalie caught him. “We are close, just slow down or you will have a heatstroke.”Evan was running in wolf form too, and so were his warriors, because as soon he heard that the pack is at risk all he knew was that Judy was there, alone. What if something happened to her?“I can’t lose her!” Evan howled. “I really fucked up in my relationship with her and I am sorry and I can’t change the past, man.” Evan mindlinked Alex, while he was running with him and Natalie. “ I made up my mind a long time ago but I was too afraid to admit that I changed my mind and I want her. I marked her, I claimed her” and the moment he said that Natalie looked at him in shock.Did he mark Judy?“She will be fine, Evan.” Alex said as he entered the Shadow pack territory but when they exited the forest Evan almost died as he saw the packhouse under siege. That splendid packhouse was burned down and there was no one around.“Oh my goddess” Natalie was scr
Author’s POV.Natalie grabbed Alex’s hand. She was furious.“I can’t lose, Judy,” she whispered. “Losing Jerry broke me, but losing Judy would kill my spirit, Alex.” she told Alex, who pulled her at his chest.“She will be fine, she is strong. Just have faith.” and Natalie tried to mindlink her but she was too far from the Shadow Pack territory, being impossible for her to reach Judy.“Damn it, Alex!” she said enraged and almost busted in tears, but Alex kissed her forehead and gave her his phone said in a calm voice.“Call her. I will try to identify the traitor. If Jerel sent the bears in my pack territory that means he has a spy there. I need to identify who that jerk is and stop him.”“He must be someone who was with us here during the attack over Jerel’s pack , Alex. Otherwise Jerel couldn’t contact him, just how I am not able to mindlink Judy. He just ran away if that's the case.” and looking at Alex she said.“I will call Judy.” and she was already with her fingers on her cont
“It’s Natalie!” Livia said and giving the signal all the women from Jerel’s harem shifted into wolves and bears.“Follow me” Livia said as she was running in bear form , opening the way for the other she-wolves. She killed rogue after rogue and the poor woman couldn’t stop herself from wondering how the hell she accepted to submit in front of Jerel for so many years.She charged at the harem’s main gate, attacking the guards. Seeing her so powerful the other women realized that they are strong too, it was Jerel who was making them weak, and all the love they ever felt for him transformed into hatred and anger. It was the fire that put the “killing machine” in motion.Every single woman who followed Livia and Natalie was here to win her freedom, and they did everything they could for that. They had enough of being manipulated and longed for freedom. This was the only chance they had.Seeing the counterattack from the main gate, Alex led his warriors inside the packhouse, jumping throug
Next day, early in the morning Alexander and Evan led their most skilled werewolf warriors, closing in on Natalie. They came with their cars and their motorcycles until they reached the Northern territory and from there they walked. It was damned difficult and he understood why Jerel would choose to hide there, because no healthy man in his mind would have ventured into that wild and rugged area.“Man,” Evan whispered. “I can barely breathe. When I find that jerk I will kill him in an instant.” and he was serious. Jerel messed up everyone’s lives.“Stay in a row,” Adam said. “ I lost more than all of you together. That rogue is mine.” and Alex just motioned to Evan to let him go.“Our priority is to save Natalie and you will focus on saving your sister,” he said to Adam. “If you have other plans, you would better tell me because I am not in the mood to be surprised again.”Adam didn’t look at Alex. They are allies right now, only because they suffered the same pain, but that’s all. If
