Richard’s POV:‘You were right,’ came Arielle’s voice through the mind link that we shared.I paused in my writing, alone in my study and now pushed out of the work flow I had found myself in.What did she mean about that?‘Angel? What was I right about again? Other than everything else as usual, that is,’ I replied back to her.I felt a tinge of mirth and teasing through our mate bond. So it couldn’t have been something extremely serious, right?‘Your ex-lover just came into my office to warn me off you. Says she’s the future Luna and all that,’ she sounded like she was about to burst into laughter by her tone. ‘Say,’ she began to wonder, ‘Does that mean that you share a mate bond with her as well? Could you perhaps tell her to stop harassing me right now?’I snorted out loud, shaking my head ruefully.Damn Elise, at it again.That was why I had sent her off and out of the pack for the diplomatic mission. Now I was remembering exactly why I didn’t even want her back anytime soon. Unf
Richard’s POV:The way that I felt disgust at her behavior simply could not be quantified.Trying to keep my face as stoic and expressionless as possible, I raised a brow at her.“Really? You want me?” I asked Elise.Her eyes gleamed as she squeezed my arm in her grasp once more.“Yes, Richard. I want you. I want to be yours once again. I want you to be mine. This time, I don’t want just sex. I want a relationship. I want the whole pack- no, I want the whole world to know that we are together. It’s all I’ve ever wanted, Richard,” she replied to my question.I sneered down at her, tugging my arm from her hold.She gaped at me in shock.“No,” I said. “Now, get out.”Turning towards my desk to sit down at my chair, I noticed glimpses of her face turning a shade of red.Her shock wore off quickly, though, and she stomped towards my desk with anger in her eyes.“What the hell!” She exclaimed. “I pour my heart out to you and that’s all I get.”My patience was wearing thin with her and as I
Arielle’s POV:I didn’t hear anything from Richard after I had told him that morning of what his ex-lover, Elise, had come to do at my office.Now, hours had passed, and I only spared the incident of this morning a small thought as I sighed, closing the file I had finished annotating on.It had definitely been a busier day than I had expected, and that possibly had something to do with the fact that I wasn’t at the clinic the previous day, what with the mission into the forest, dealing with Leon and then spending some time with my mate.I turned my head slowly form side to side, feeling my muscles stretch. Thinking about when I would be able to go tomorrow for the training session that Lilian and I had, I was startled a bit when I heard the door open, without so much as a knock.Lilian strode in determinedly, clearly not giving a shit that she just walked in without even knocking to see if I was busy.“Hi,” I greeted my best friend, my brows furrowed as I watched her plop herself onto
Arielle’s POV:“But what?”I asked Lilian, after she began to look curiously at me after I finished my rant. She had her brows furrowed and I wondered what she wanted to say that had her looking tense still.“But why? Why don’t you want anyone to know about you being Richard’s mate yet?” She queried.I opened my mouth and closed it, unable to say a word just yet.Should I tell her, about the fact that I simply was not ready to take on such responsibility yet? I wasn’t ready for the entire pack to find out that I was RochRd’s long awaited mate. I didn’t want to have the mantle of Luna suddenly foisted up on my small shoulders, not when I was just learning to heal and to be with Richard. I still had a lot of things I had yet to do, and I simply couldn’t let my status as Richard’s mate get in the way.Richard, despite the frustration I knew he held inside, respected my wishes. But I doubted that anyone else would understand the way that he did.“I don’t know yet,” I managed to blurt out
Richard’s POV:‘Richard.’I paused in my movement, having been about to strip off my clothes to get under the shower.Why was Arielle sounding like that?My brows furrowed as I heard another, even more desperate cry.‘Richard, are you there?’ Arielle was asking.‘Yes,’ I replied earnestly. ‘What’s going on?’‘She’s here,’ her voice was shaky. ‘She knows.’That was all that I needed to hear.I put my jacket back on, striding to the door of my room, and down the hallway.‘Where are you?’ I asked my mate as I left my home, ignoring the way my guards and maids bowed when they caught sight of my presence. I didn’t hear any respinse, and it propelled me to put more speed to my steps, and I walked faster to the clinic, where I hoped I would find her, safe from Elise’s wiles and manipulation. ‘Tell me where you are,’ I reached out to her again, this time with more force behind my words.‘The clinic. My office. She’s throwing things,’ I heard before I felt a sharp pain in my chest. I put my ha
Arielle’s POV: HysteriaIt was silent in the office, and I couldn’t for once even think to move an inch. The room was, to put it simply, in a state of chaos.The scene of disarray all around myself was greatly contrasting with the absolute void in my mind. Perhaps it was a simple reflexive reaction for me, but I was simply numb, staring at the man in front of me that I was proud to call my mate.His eyes were blazing , looking at me with that intense gaze of his.Richard had also lost it, and had I not been here, he likely would have ended up doing something horrible to Elise.I wasn’t too sure if I had made the right decision in stopping him. She was likely not going to stop coming after me, after all. If I heard her hiss out loud, just before she ran out of the office she had just spent long minutes destroying it.“Well,” Lilian broke the silence, and I could just see the second that Richard’s unblinking gaze shifted to my friend’s. “I guess that’s the end of it.”I found myself sno
Richard’s POV She had been asleep for far too long. I had already managed to put her in her bed and now I was pacing the length of her room unable to sit still.Her breaths came out slowly from what I could tell of her chest rising and falling in a slow rhythm, and she didn’t seem to be in any pain and she wasn’t awake. Why wasn’t she awake?It's already been two hours. I had gone back home freshened up and came back to check on my mate only to find out that she still had not opened her eyes yet. No, I was at a loss for what to do. Why was she still sleeping or was this something else? Was there something that I wasn’t aware of?‘You’re driving me mad, angel. Wake up,’’ I said through the mind link. But just like the other times I had spoken to my mate in the past hour, she did not respond. Or perhaps it was more like she could not for the life of her, hear me.Already I had tried everything that I could to wake her. Shaking her awake didn’t seem to work, nor did calling her name. Ev
Arielle’s POV:I had interacted with this being for the past few weeks, and how I had fallen into this trance as soon as I became hysterical, and it was so difficult to come out.His expression changed from wonder and sock to curiosity. I could tell that he was finding it hard to believe. In the same way, I could understand why Richard wouldn’t believe me. After all, it seemed to sound odd coming from me, that I had been talking with the moon goddess. But it was the truth, and I knew that he could tell it from my face.“Arielle,” Richard began after I paused, wanting to catch my breath after explaining that much so far. He looked pained. “Why didn’t you tell me about all of this, before? Why did you keep silent on it?”I felt a little guilty worrying about my mate now.Richard didn’t deserve this, and I was supposed to not keep a secret this big from him.“I know I should have,” I replied in a rush. “I’m sorry. I guess, some part of me thought that I was still dreaming all of this,
KELEIGH’S POV My father’s claws gleamed in the light of the overhead lamp of the room as he raised his hand in the air, preparing to swipe. My breath caught in my throat as I pressed against the wall he had roughly pushed me into in a rage after he had caught I and Jake in the act of canoodling. He roared in fury as he bore down on Jake. I could understand why he was so enraged. Jake was the Alpha of the Moonlight pack, and my father was the Alpha of our pack, the Wesselton Pack. Both our packs have been in a bloody feud for so long that no one even remembered how it started in the first place. Countless wolves from both packs had died for generations over this feud. And Jake was about to be the next person. “My daughter!” My father growled at him. "How dare you!" My heart galloped with panic as I stared at the scene in front of me. My father in a state of half-shift, his clothes already partly torn from it. Jake, pinned below him, his eyes filled with so much fear and shock as he
Hello everyone; I hope this meets us well. Just wanted to say my new book would be out tomorrow and the title is; Two Alphas, One Mate! but I'll be posting the peak of the chapter one here, please read it, support it. I assure you, it's going to be better than the first, and all my errors I have duly noted. I need your support, vote, comment, and everything you can do. Thank you so much for always being there for me. It might be slow, not fast paced like any other books but I assure you, it's very good. CHAPTER ONE A knock on the door disrupted her sleep, causing her brows to crease as she rolled to the other side of the bed. She scrunched her eyes up, trying to get back to her sleep when another series of knocking came after. “Hmm.” She groaned out, her hand fumbling on the bed as she reached for the blanket, throwing it over herself and acting cozy inside of it. “You have to open the door princess,” she heard her maid say from the door, causing the frown on her face to deepen.
Richard’s POV:This is how it ends.I transformed back to my human form, my chest bare.I looked around me, watching the Rogues being tied down around me. The death of Leon had caused an immediate and drastic drop in morale. The Rogues didn’t fight anymore, allowing themselves to be chained.Among them, were the Evans family too. They had been brought out by the warriors as per my orders.The night was still as I stood in the center of such chaos.I never knew silence could be quite this deafening.“The battle is over,” I said, looking around me with steely eyes to my tired warriors, but still victorious. I felt satisfaction in seeing all the familiar faces around me. Not many of them fell, to my joy. “We will dispose of the traitors today and rebuild our pack. This victory isn’t anything but a symbol of our strength, and our unity. For in our unity,” I rolled my shoulders back and raised my voice even louder. “We will never fall.”The cheers of my warriors were enough to dare me, and
“No! No! Father, you can’t do this to me! You can’t do this!” A tiny voice cried out, her voice echoing through the four corners of the room.“Stand up!” A loud voice boomed through her ears and ran through her body, causing her to hold her tears.He stood up from his throne, all tall and authoritative. The royal staff in his hand touched the ground and silenced everyone in the room. He studied his steps casually, walking towards her and sending streams of shivers down her spine.“Stand up!” He ordered.She didn’t need to be told twice. She scrambled up immediately, balancing her feet and lowering her head to the ground. He raised his hand to her, and she recoiled at the thought of him hitting her head, “Stacey, you’re nothing but a weak wolf. And your presence in this pack is not needed. I regret the day I gave birth to you. And today is one of my happiest days in this pack, to finally see that you have a use for me.” He said without mercy.She clenched her fist so hard her nails pie

Arielle’s POV:I felt so helpless, slowly walking towards the nearest safe house and holding a slowly bleeding Darren.The unconscious Beta groaned out loud and i bit my lip, looking down at him and adjusting my sweaty grip on him.“Don’t worry, Darren,” I said, feeling somewhat crazy to be speaking to an unconscious man. “I’ll get you help. You’re going to be fine,” my voice broke.Tears came to my eyes as I continued to step forward. Just one step forward I told myself.Oh great goddess, please help me. A tear slipped down my cheek as I thought of what Lilian would say to me if she saw her mate like this. I couldn’t do this to her. Please Darren be alright, i pleaded in my mind.“Arielle?” It was Ethan@/ voice that made me look up. Our eyes met and I felt small as he ran over to me, his own eyes wide with shock. “What happened to him?”“What do you think?” My voice sounded bitter and rough as I responded. Guilt and remorse filled my body all of a sudden as I saw Ethan look down. “I’
Richard’s POV:I was running with fury at the forefront of my mind.I was such an idiot. I had made so much mistakes in the past few days.Now I had made the worst mistake.I had left my pack alone, at such an important time. Now they were being attacked.“Two of you go to the west gate and see what’s happening,” I ordered two of the swiftest warriors in my team.They nodded in unison and were off. We kept on going on our journey, and I began to feel dizzy for a second.At once I felt a burning sensation in my throat, as well as a sting on my arm. Then, a slash at my throat. My hands flew to check my Throat and found it unblemished.I was feeling the pain from my pack members.‘and it was a lot. I know fact, it was too much.I groaned out loud, trying to not let my sounds of pain get heard by anyone. I needed to get to the pack immediately.I could only hope that Darren had managed to stave off the worst of the attack I now knew that Leon was behind.Saying a small prayer to the moon g
Arielle’s POV:My heart was pounding as I said those words to my mate. In my mind it was like the world had come down on me. The alarm bells blares in my ears like a war gong, and I was left feeling helpless and lost.In reality, I was still in my office, with Meera looking meekly away from the glares of either myself or Ethan.Richard’s words came through the mind link that we shared.‘What’s going on, love? And I’m on my way. It was a trap,’ he sounded regretful, and there was a tinge of disgust punctuating his words. What had happened to make him sound like that?‘A trap?’ So this had all been planned.‘Elise and Hunter are working with the Rogues. They’re working with Leon. I think he may be on his way there now,’ he sounded like he was running while he spoke.I swallowed, the anxiety coming back in droves. Oh great goddess.In a shaky tone I replied to my mate, ‘I think he’s here right now. The alarm bells have been going off for nearly thirty minutes now.’ I paused. ‘What should
Richard’s POV:We made our way through the shortcut that Falcon had proposed.Darren and I had quickly met with him when the team was put together, and we had decided that we would be taking that route. I didn’t think that it was certainly a trap or anything but it didn’t hurt to be prepared and use the element of surprise on our side.However much I wanted to believe that things would go smoothly with Elise and Hunter, some part of me knew that it was somehow doomed from the start. Of course I couldn’t just come out and say thy to everyone, so I kept silent. I think it was my serious expression that gave away that I was brooding, for none of my men spoke to me or questioned me at any point in time.Luckily for us that was what saved us. We were near the presumed location of Elise and Hunter and the sun was shining brightly in the sky.I heard a twig snap and my ears picked up at the sound of it. Someone was in front of us.“Stop,” I called out. Everyone of my warriors fell silent imm
