Zayn’s pov

I heard Eve’s feet walking away from me. Seeing her naked made me feel things I didn’t want to feel and wasn’t ready to feel.

"Wait."

"Why?" Eve replied.

I sighed, still not able to turn around. I couldn’t face her like this right now, but I could talk to her. Eve wasn’t feeling okay, and I couldn’t just let her walk away.

"You’re not okay. Tell me why you said I was easy to talk to."

Eve scoffed. Yeah, and then we both fell asleep next to each other, and you avoided me for months."

It wasn’t just that we fell asleep next to each other. She was in my arms. And it was the best sleep I'd had in a very long time. I instantly felt guilty towards Talia, as if I were cheating on her somehow.

"She makes us feel better." Nadeem said, but it sounded more like he wanted to use Eve to feel better but not give her what she needed in return.

"You don’t know what she needs. You have never asked her." Nadeem added.

I didn’t reply to my wolf; instead, I focused my attention back on Eve. "Pl

I had already planned to write a few chapters from Zayn and Eve's pov, but I was happy to see you asking for them as well. So here is the first.

    Eve’s pov"So any Dutch names that are fucking cool?" Luna Leia asked.I shrugged my shoulders, "I don’t know. Dutch people use a lot of English names, but maybe Moos or Koen for a boy. Maan or Roos for a girl. I really don’t know; I just named Storm after my father, Mathijs, and his first name I liked when I was younger. But there’s no need to include a Dutch name."Luna Leia seemed to think about it: "And they’ll have to deal with the pronunciation all the fucking time. Like your name is pronounced differently too, right?""Yes, it’s Evelien, but I’m used to people saying Eve by now." I said, nodding my head."Okay, now that we have that out of the fucking way, tell me about Zayn."My eyes went wide, and I started to blush instantly. "Tell you what?""Well, he’s been coming here to take you on a walk for three weeks now, and I was just wondering what was going on. I’ve seen the way he fucking looks at you.""We’re friends. We both needed a friend, and he’s easy to talk to."Leia didn

    Zayn’s pov"She’s hurt," Nadeem said.I could see that, but I didn’t understand why. She didn’t seem to want to have dinner with me, and I was glad because I wasn’t ready for that yet. But why would she get upset when I offered to bring food to her?Nadeem sighed. "Maybe she does want more."No. The thought alone freaked me out, and I was embarrassed that the rest of the way home I didn’t say a word to Eve. I was stuck in my thoughts, worrying about what to do about this. I loved being friends with Eve, I loved hanging out with her, and I loved her, but I wasn’t in love with Eve. I couldn’t be. My heart still belonged to Talia. Besides, she had explained to me that all she wanted was friendship, so why did that suddenly change?"Okay, then. See you later. Of niet. [or not]" She whispered the last part in Dutch, and I wasn’t sure what it meant, but this didn’t feel right.Should I give her a hug or something? I didn’t really like touching Eve because the sparks messed with my mind. My b

  • The Stolen Alpha   88. Talk

    Eve’s povWhile Zayn was right about not talking in Dutch when I was upset, it was hard for me to voice my feelings. I had always had to hold my tongue in front of Lex, so whenever I did speak out, I made sure it was in Dutch.Lex probably knew we were talking about him, but I think he didn’t care if I hated him. He cared what other people thought, and as long as nobody understood what I was saying, he was fine. It was all about image. About staying the alpha that people feared, and my job was to stay quiet, hidden, and not undermine him.And now with Zayn, it felt like I was hidden away again somehow. My family knew about Zayn, but I wondered if he knew about me. Did they realize we had spent every day together for three weeks? That he told me his deepest feelings and that I shared things I never shared with anyone?I had tried talking to a therapist, but it was so much easier with Zayn. The only thing I didn’t fully share was everything that happened with Ruby. But that wasn’t about

  • The Stolen Alpha   89. Talia

    Zayn’s povShouting was part of being a soldier and part of my relationship with Talia as well. We could get angry, but we’d never hurt each other. We would yell at each other when we fought, and then we made up with the same amount of passion.But I could see that yelling made Eve flinch. As a tracker, a soldier, and the mate of a Gamma, I had seen a lot. I’ve felt a lot, but I would never know the type of pain Eve endured. The most painful thing I had to endure was losing the love of my life, but she had to see her mate live with another woman every day of her life, and then she was tortured by that same woman. It was a different kind of pain that, I was sure, made a permanent impression on Eve.I thought she was too cold while talking to me, but she had learned to hold back for her own safety.She was asking for my heart, and I couldn’t give it to her. But the thought of losing another woman I had grown to love hurt too much. I felt like such a coward, but telling Eve the truth woul

    Zayn’s pov"Why did you invite us over, dad?" Rayan asked, looking around the house. I knew he felt uncomfortable being here.Jamila was eying the pictures of her mom, and although I saw her more than Rayan, I knew she tried to avoid this house as well. It felt different here now that their mother was gone.I sighed, sitting down on the sofa, watching Sue try to calm Rayan down by scratching his head in the same manner Talia used to do to me."I am thinking about asking Alpha Asher if I can move to another house.""What?" Jamila said, surprised, sitting down to join the conversation. I had asked her to leave her kids and mate at home, knowing this conversation might get heated."Being here is hard without Talia. I feel like being here is stopping me from moving forward to the next chapter." I admitted.Rayan growled, "next chapter? Mom has barely been dead for six months.""Rayan…." Sue said, "he didn’t mean it like that.""What if I did?" I asked them. "The Moon Goddess has blessed me

    Eve’s povWe sat there in the garden next to each other, and it felt like a dream. I never thought Zayn would choose me.He held my hand while we stayed on the porch wing. I wish we could stay like that forever. Zayn wanted to go slow, and that didn’t bother me at all. Didn’t he realize I hadn’t been with a man in twenty years? They say it’s like riding a bike, and as a dutchie I know how to ride bikes.Hilde laughed while I remembered how I used to ride my bike around town when I was little. I was pretty sure sex wasn’t like riding a bike, though. Would I even be good at it? Would Zayn find my body attractive?We walked back to the house, and as soon as we entered his home, Zayn turned to me, ready to give me another kiss. I backed away from him slowly."Did I do something wrong?" Zayn asked, surprised by my sudden behavior."This house is yours and Talia's, and while I don’t mind coming here, I think we shouldn’t do anything romantic in here. I don’t want you to feel guilty, be remin

  • The Stolen Alpha   Chapter 4 from The Luna Prophecy

    Hi! I want to write for this story more, but I don't have much time left and my priority right now is the Stolen alpha. But I did have some time last week, so here is chapter four. I find that if I don't write for a while I am taken out of the story and have a hard time writing for it. So I think once I do have time I just have to spend a few hours planning this storyline and typing some chapters before I can actually feel ready to publish. Maybe do Stolen Alpha for 5 days a week and this one for one day a week or something. I'll figure it out ;) anyway here it. As always I love hearing your thoughts. And thank you for your support. Orion’s pov Izzy sounded like she had cried but came down to eat a few minutes later looking fine—well, still bruised, but fine. Better than fine, actually beautiful. It was hard to take my eyes off her. With her red hair and green eyes, there was something almost fairylike about her. I don’t think she even realized how good she looked, which was s

    Aeryns’s povI did not expect to smell Zayn on Eve when she entered the room, but I was kind of fucking busy being in labor, so I didn’t have time to question her.Storm growled and sniffed the air, but he held his tongue, and I was proud of his restraint. He really was keeping his promise to his mother, and it was fucking adorable. What wasn’t adorable were those contractions.I knew it would hurt, but I didn’t think it would feel like this. It was like needing to poo very badly, having the worst period cramps, and feeling like being ripped in half at the same time. I knew Storm was feeling it too through the bond, but he kept a straight face."You know you can block the pain from him," Delta offered, and I scoffed. "He got me pregnant; now he can feel half of my fucking pain as well.""Are you nervous?" Mom asked.I decided not to give birth in the hospital but instead in my room because I didn’t want all those doctors around me. I wanted to be home with my family and be able to walk

  • The Stolen Alpha   1. Blood Rock Pack

    I listened to your suggestions and decided to make the first chapter from Argo's pov so we can learn a bit mroe about the pack etc. Hope you like it. As usual none of what I'm writing is set in stone, things can change this early in the process. So i love to hear your input. Argo’s pov "I’ve talked with mom, and we both agree it would be a great idea if you both went to spend summer break at the Blood Rock Pack." Dad said to me and my brother. "You’re fucking joking." There was no way in hell I was leaving right now. Things with Hazel were just starting to look up. Why both Isaac and I fell for the same girl is beyond me. He never liked the same type of girl as I did. He wanted to be intellectually stimulated, whatever the fuck that meant. Isaac is a nerd, but he’s my best friend. Me, my twin brother Airk, and Isaac form an unbreakable bond. We were raised together and lived in the same house for years. But now a girl has gotten in between us. Thank the fuck, I don’t have to wor

  • The Stolen Alpha   chapter 2. Trouble

    Mila’s povI was seven when I left here. Mom hadn’t been back here; it had been too painful, but I wanted to support my big brother. He was trying to do something good, and the pack was doing a lot better than it was before he took over.Alpha Brax, I laughed to myself. Our father had been adamant about naming Brax after himself. Braxton. And now, Brax never used his full name. Where Brax was kind, funny, and compassionate, Dad had been mean, selfish, and brutal.Our father had this idea that women were less than men, and he was so threatened by the idea of a female alpha that he hired someone to kill Alpha Aeryn when she was six. Yeah, I wasn’t kidding when I called him brutal.Who in their right mind pays someone to kill a little girl?!But Daddy Dearest was double-crossed, and they never killed Aeryn. Instead, they took her and her sister and sold them to a school. The same school where my mom was bought from. The whole thing was so messed up that it could fill a whole book. But tha

    - - Prologue - - THREE YEARS AGOBrax’s pov"So, can I have a hug to say goodbye?" Airk asked me."Sure," I replied, opening my arms. Airk moved his small frame towards mine and placed his head against my chest."I’ll miss you."It felt right to hold him, but it shouldn’t. Airk was only fifteen, and I was eighteen and unmated. Perhaps in time we would find out we were mates, but speculating about future mates is something my mother always warned me about.At the White Claw pack where I grew up after we left home, it wasn’t allowed to speculate about mates. You weren’t permitted to date anyone without a wolf, once you turned eighteen, either. You wouldn’t want to risk someone falling for you before they met their true mate.Of course, people still dated in secret, but it was much easier to get my freak on once I turned eighteen six months ago. I had experimented with whoever seemed interesting. I didn’t want to limit myself to just one gender; I could find something attractive in almos

    Storm’s povLooking at my daughter fight filled me with so much fucking pride. I still remember how little training Aeryn had when I met her."No training," Brand reminded me. When Aeryn was brought to our pack, she had no idea how to defend herself properly, but that didn’t mean she didn’t try. Fuck, that woman of mine was strong even then, but I had watched her grow to become one of the best Alphas I had ever met.We trained Nivia and Forrest from an early age. It started as just wrestling and playing, but moved into more when they got older. Forrest was strong and tall, but his big sister could still beat his ass.That’s why today, a day before her eighteenth birthday, Nivia was sparring with her grandpa Asher. While Osiris was still strong and impressive, it wouldn’t be fair to let an eighteen-year-old spar against a guy who was almost seventy. Cyrus was even older, but Nivia had been able to beat him by the time she was ten. Osiris was still fucking good-looking, though; he just g

    hi! I'm in the car right now on the way to Disneyland Paris, and I had this idea in my head. so it is a rough draft, but wanted to get your input. i have most of the story figured out for airk and brax. but Argo not yet. he'll have a love-hate relationship with Mila, but that's all I got, lol.also still need a title.Brax's pov“Can’t they come another time?” I asked my beta Elora.“No, they have summer break now, and they haven’t seen me in months. I don’t get your problem anyway. You used to get along just fine.” Elora replied, raising her eyebrow.I loved my beta like a little sister, but she was way too observant sometimes and really noisy.‘You can tell her,’ my wolf Hudson advised, but I ignored him.Elora is the sister of our ally, Alpha Aeryn, and has two brothers. A set of twins that couldn’t be any different. They looked differently, they acted differently, and they loved different genders. While Argo was a womanizer, his brother Airk had come out as gay at a young age.I w

    Aeryn’s pov"It’s going to be okay, Aeryn."I rolled my eyes at my mate. "Really? You’re not the one that has to push that big ass head out of your dick!"Nivia was average size; she wasn’t small, but she was nothing like this baby. He was tall like his dad, and he had the big fucking head of his dad too. I was sure he was going to be a giant like Storm.Storm chuckled, and I raised my eyebrow. "Do you think it’s a good idea to laugh now? While I’m in labor? Think really fucking carefully about your answer, Storm, because I already hate you a bit right now."Storm got behind me and started massaging my back. "I know, krullebol. And you’re doing so well. You’re so beautiful, and you’re the best fucking Alpha and mother I know.""Flattery doesn’t work either," I growled, but I did enjoy the massage."You can push now," the doctor said after a few hours, and I wanted to say something snarky, but the pain was so intense that I was unable to speak.I just prayed to the fucking goddess that

    THREE YEARS LATERWhile being called "mommy" by Nivia is still my favorite name, being called another name came pretty fucking close."Alpha, how great to invite us!" An alpha I had not met before said, while looking directly at Storm and not me.Storm and I had encounters like this many times before, where they assumed he was the alpha and not me, and over the years we had developed an appropriate reaction.I would reel in my aura until one of those fuckers misspoke, and then Storm would say, "I am not the Alpha; she is. Meet Alpha Aeryn."And I would let all my alpha aura go, almost making it hard to breathe for the misogynistic fool.But I was 5 months pregnant with my baby boy by now, and my aura wasn’t as strong as usual, so instead I just let Storm have some fun.Storm growled at the alpha. "This is Alpha fucking Aeryn of the Iron River pack. You know, the one you’re currently visiting. Show some fucking respect before going to another pack and do your fucking research. And now f

    Aeryn’s pov"Mommy!" Of all the names I had been called before, "Mommy" was the most special to me. Especially when it was being said by the cutest little three-year-old running towards us.Naturally, she had to hug Daddy first, being Daddy's little girl, but then I had Nivia's full attention. She told me all about the week she had while we were away. Apparently she had spent time with all her grandparents and great-grandparents; she had gone to the farm, had art class with Grandma Lily, and mom had given her some fun, colorful hairclips so she could look like her. Mom loved to rock different colors in her hair every month.It made me feel less guilty knowing how well taken care of she had been. This had been my first time away, but being an alpha meant I would be gone more often. And while I am aware that there is no substitute for parental love, the rest of my family came pretty damn close.Storm and I decided to give Riker the reigns for today and spend the whole day with our little

    Storm’s povWe helped Brax and Elora for a few days, helping to bury the dead and fix any damage that had been done. Brax hadn't decided on a gamma yet, but he wanted me, Aeryn, and Rayan to spend a few days with the soldiers and see if we could start them on a new training program. Alpha Ari offered to have his gamma help out over the next few weeks as well.As much as we enjoyed helping Brax and Elora, Aeryn and I were both fucking eager to go home and see our daughter. This had been the longest we had been away from here, and while we got updates daily and short phone and video calls, it wasn’t the fucking same.I missed her scent and her little hands grabbing my hand when she wanted to show me something. Fuck, having Nivia in my life made me even angrier thinking about what Aeryn, Elora, and all the other girls at the school went through.Nivia is three, and that was the age at which Elora was taken. I would burn the fucking world down to find her, just like Asher had done.Having
