The Stripper Alpha Chapter 25
ZAHRA-ROSE POVNostalgia wrapped around me the moment we arrived at my pack’s lands, a heavy, bittersweet weight pressing down on my chest. This place had meant everything to me once, and now I stood at the edge of its ruins, looking at what was left. The crumbled walls, the overgrown grass swallowing what was once the heart of my home, it was hard to breathe through the ache that settled deep in my chest.Ashvin and I did not travel in the same car. He had things to discuss with Kai, his Beta, but the moment I stepped out of the vehicle, he was already there, standing beside me as though he’d never left my side.“I sent some men a few days ago to assess the damage,” Ashvin said, his voice low and steady. “We’ll know more about what needs to be done soon.”I nodded, my gaze following the movement of the pack members already at work. I could see the outline of progress ,new framework being laid down, but it still felt like staring at a ghost.“The pack court is already halfway rebuilt

The room is still dark when I wake up again, silence filling the space.My memory went back to the words Ashvin had spoken before I fell aslesp but I pushed it right back to where it came from. He can't mark me, not yet.Even though I had a dreamless night, I knew it was because I was back in my pack, where my father wanted me to be.Remembering why I came here, I sit up from the bed and check myself through the dim light. My clothes are still the ones I arrived in.Carefully, I begin to tiptoe toward the door. My eyes scan the dark room for any sign of Ashvin in the lounge chair, but I see nothing.Holding onto the wall for balance, I walk toward the chair, running my hand over the soft material. He’s not there.My mind clicks into place as I remember there’s a switch nearby. I slide my hand over the wall, feeling for it despite the darkness until my fingers brush against the cold metal.I flick it on, and a dim light floods the room. My eyes sweep over the space, searching for him,

ASHVIN HARVEY’S POVI rushed to her side the moment her eyes fluttered open.“Are you alright?” I asked, my voice sharp with concern as her gaze swept the room. She rubbed her eyes, adjusting to the daylight spilling through the window.“Ashvin?” Her voice was soft, strained.“I’m here.” I took her hand as she sat up, her touch cool against my skin.“Water?” I offered, already reaching for the cup resting on the nightstand.She nodded, and I handed it to her.“Thank you,” she whispered before downing the water in loud gulps. Once finished, she set the cup aside and lay back down, closing her eyes, but she wasn’t asleep. Not yet.My jaw tightened as the memory of how she was brought here resurfaced.They had carried her, someone running with her limp body slung over his back.I had been furious when I returned from inspecting the mansion and discovered she was missing. It was early, too early for her to be wandering anywhere. I never expected her to leave the safety of the room. And ye

Asael was by my side as I shifted back, offering me a change of clothes after the successful hunt.“You make this leadership thing look so easy. How do you do it?” he asked as I pulled on the shirt he handed me.Zen was exhausted, but satisfied.He loved coming out to play, to hunt, and to run beneath the full moon. The few hours we had just spent in the woods, hunting alongside the pack, had left him exhilarated. His low growl of contentment echoed through my mind.“That’s what makes me a true-born Alpha,” I answered, tossing the last piece of clothing over my body.Even now, I could still hear the high chants and music coming from the bonfire. Kai must have already presented the deer bodies from the hunt. The pack would feast well tonight.It had been satisfying to see Zen and Drew, Kai’s wolf, leading the hunt together. It had been a display of strength and unity, exactly what the Full Moon Festival was meant to symbolize.Asael still trailed behind me as I walked toward the bonfir

ZAHRA-ROSE POVMate.I could hear the word echoing in my head, his mate. Ashvin’s mate.As I trembled in his arms while he handed me a change of clothes, I still couldn’t believe what had happened.“You better believe it,” she spoke again, this time the happiness in her voice was impossible to contain. “I’ve been waiting for this forever.”I sighed as I pulled the dress over my aching body, my hands still shaking. I thought I was prepared for this. I thought I would know how to control myself. But the sound of her voice inside me still made me tremble.“I’m done,” I said softly, my voice barely above a whisper.Ashvin turned slowly, his golden eyes locking with mine. My heart skipped a beat. Looking at him right now, it all felt right.“Mate.” The wolf inside of me screamed again as if I hadn’t heard that word a thousand times already from her.“Come,” Ashvin said, extending his hand toward me.I hesitated for a second before placing my hand in his. The moment our skin touched, a shiv

ASHVIN HARVEY’S POVMy mate.It still feels surreal. Just like her, I had searched for my mate, and at some point, I accepted that the Moon Goddess had never intended to give me one.With the strength she gave me, with the qualities that only a strong Alpha could possess, I knew it was a punishment, that was why she never gave me a helpmate.Until the day I met Zahra-Rose. I never knew my heart could beat for anything other than power and survival.Which is why I reprimand myself for feeling that way about my little brother’s planned mate. And yet, when I heard they weren’t mated, I felt a flicker of hope.If she didn’t have a wolf and I didn’t have a mate, what a perfect combination. That's what I told myself the day my father proposed that Zahra and I get married.And yet, when everything seemed to be going wrong for her, when the pack whispered behind her back and the gossip wouldn’t stop, her wolf showed up. And to my utmost relief, she is my mate. Mine.‘She belongs to us.’ Zen,

ZAHRA-ROSEThe nerves hit me hard as I walked toward the training grounds. My senses were sharper than ever. I could hear their voices loud and clear, not just the people nearby, but even those standing further away. Their breathing, the shuffle of their feet, the whispered words laced with suspicion and disdain, my ears picked up everything.I stopped walking, my heart hammering against my ribcage. It was overwhelming. Too much. I didn’t know how to shut it out.“Breathe, Zahra-Rose. I’m sure everything will be fine.”Her voice drifted through my mind, soft and steady, my wolf’s presence grounding me. I didn’t have a name for her yet, but her tone alone was enough to steady my spiraling thoughts.“Zahra-Rose.”I turned sharply at the familiar sound of the voice to see Ashvin’s mother, Luna Verena, walking toward me.I didn’t know why, but the moment I saw her, I felt calmer. Maybe because I knew she would be overseeing the training today.“Luna Verena.” I moved toward her and was ab

Ashvin helped me get to the pack house, ran a bath for me, and told me to relax while the scent of freshly cooked meat and roasted vegetables drifted from the table. My stomach growled in response.“Come eat with me,” I said before he could slip out the door.He paused, turning back toward me. His golden eyes darkened, the intensity behind them sharper than I had ever seen before.His gaze held mine, and slowly, so slowly, it drifted down to my lips. My heart hammered violently at the way his eyes lingered there.“I would love to,” his words dragged out, low and smooth. His eyes were still locked on my lips, a flicker of heat darkening his irises. “But I have a lot to do tonight. I hope you understand.”He didn’t move until I nodded reluctantly. Only then did he turn and slip out the door.At the sound of the door closing, I let out a shaky breath. Why was I suddenly so aware of him?Okay, it wasn’t sudden. Not really. But it was probably better that he had left… or else…..“I know wh

“What the hell are you doing?” Ashvin barked, his voice low and sharp with Alpha command as he stormed toward me.I stood my ground, refusing to budge as I held onto the wounded pack warrior who bled freely, the scent of his blood strong and bitter in the air.“I said, what the hell are you doing?” Ashvin repeated, now in front of me. The heat of his anger rolled off him in ripples, his teeth just barely visible beneath the snarl threatening to break through.His muscles tensed, his eyes glowing faintly with his wolf’s fury. But I didn’t care. I wasn’t afraid of him. Not today.“What does it look like I’m doing?” I shot back, my voice matching his growl. “I’m doing what needs to be done.”His golden irises tightened as he glared at me, irritation glinting like wildfire. From somewhere behind, I heard Alyaanah’s annoying voice cut through the tension.“Oh, you see that? I told you she would grow wings eventually and you all thought I was joking. You see that?”Moon Goddess, she gets on

As soon as I got into the car, I braced myself. Luna Verena had a lot to say, I just knew it.But to my surprise, she remained silent throughout the ride to the training grounds. The tension between us was thick, suffocating. I could practically hear her unspoken thoughts, and it made my wolf restless.When we arrived, I reached for the door, relieved that she hadn’t said a word. But who was I kidding?“I want to speak with you,” she finally said, her voice cutting through the silence like a blade.My hand fell away from the handle as I turned to face her. Of course, she wanted to talk.“Sure,” I replied, forcing a polite smile. But deep down, all I wanted was to get out of the car and away from this conversation.“I heard what happened back at the packhouse,” she said. “How your mate, Alpha Ashvin, punished some of the servants for what they said.”I narrowed my eyes. Out of everything that had happened today, this wasn’t what I expected her to bring up. And how did she even hear abo
The Stripper Alpha Chapter 34
ZAHRA-ROSEThe news of what had happened spread so quickly through the entire pack that by morning, it was no longer a secret.I had already braced myself for the weight of the day, everyone would be on edge, and that tension would only make things worse.Looking down at the simple outfit I had chosen for the day, I knew I didn’t want to step outside. But I had no choice, I was Luna now, and no matter how much I wished to stay hidden, I had to face the pack.As for Ashvin, he hadn’t returned since last night. I knew he was working tirelessly to uncover who had dared to set fire to our lands, to punish whoever was responsible.“I’m sure he will be alright. He will take care of everything,” Eira murmured in my mind.I wanted to believe her. But a deep, unsettling feeling lingered in my chest.After getting ready, I left my room and walked toward the dining area, where a table full of food awaited me. But I had no appetite. My stomach churned at the thought of forcing down even a single

ASHVIN HARVEY I stared at the ruins before me, my claws itching to unsheathe as rage curled at the back of my neck. The scent of burnt wood and scorched earth filled my nostrils, mixing with the lingering stench of smoke.I forced myself to hold back the fury simmering beneath my skin, my wolf, Zen, prowling inside me, restless and ready to tear into someone.“Control yourself,” I reminded myself, even as my hands clenched into fists.Kai had gone to check the wreckage while I stood there, watching my warriors try to put out the last of the flames. The crackling fire had died down, but the damage was already done.“Alpha Ashvin.”I turned sharply, my golden eyes locking onto one of the elders approaching me. His posture was stiff, his scent laced with apprehension. He knew how furious I was.“What do you want?” I bit out, my voice laced with the growl rumbling in my chest. I shouldn’t let this small act of destruction rattle me, but it did.“We have to find who did this,” the elder s
