Alpha Lorenzo

I woke to the soft rise and fall of her chest against mine, her warmth making it near impossible to leave the bed. The sun's early rays crept through the curtains, casting a soft glow on her face. She looked so peaceful, her face serene, her body completely relaxed.

It was tempting to stay like this…to hold her in my arms and forget about everything else. Just me and her, no pack, no responsibilities, no pressure.

But duty called. I had responsibilities as the Alpha, and there was work to be done. Careful not to wake her, I gently slid my arm from under her head, replacing it with my pillow.

She stirred briefly, her hand clutching at the pillow, but remained blissfully asleep. I smiled down at her, brushing a stray lock of hair from her face before slipping out of bed.

I stood there for a moment, just watching her. She looked so small compared to the large bed, her body curled up beneath the covers.

My baby girl. I brushed a stray lock of hair from her face, fighting

  • The Supreme Alpha’s Hybrid Mate    Unexpected sight

    Alpha LorenzoThe sunlight filtered through the large windows of my office, casting a golden glow on the documents scattered across my desk. My morning had been filled with numbers, projections, and construction plans. The Royal Lake Pack…formerly known as Lake View, was expanding, and with that expansion came the need for new infrastructure. We had taken on several projects, from new homes for the pack members to upgrading the training facilities. Everything had to be perfect. This was our future.I was in the middle of reviewing the blueprints for a new training center when the door to my office swung open. I didn’t need to look up to know who it was. Only one person would barge in without knocking…Conan.“Lorenzo,” Conan greeted, closing the door behind him. “Got something you need to see.”I glanced up from the blueprints, raising an eyebrow. Conan had a mischievous grin on his face, which usually meant he was about to make my day either more complicated or more interesting. Som

  • The Supreme Alpha’s Hybrid Mate    Chapter 108: Day six in paradise

    RaelynnThe morning light filtered through the sheer curtains, casting a soft glow across the room. I blinked a few times, trying to clear the fog from my mind. Everything felt different. The bed beneath me was impossibly soft, the sheets smoother than anything I’d ever felt before. I sat up with a start, my heart pounding as I tried to remember where I was. This wasn’t my room. It all came rushing back…the unification ceremony, Lorenzo asking me to stay behind, Valentine agreeing to my request. My heart fluttered at the thought of him. I looked around the room, expecting to see him, but it was empty. A pang of disappointment hit me, but I quickly shook it off. He had responsibilities, and I couldn't expect him to be by my side every second.Swinging my legs over the side of the bed, I noticed a small piece of paper on the nightstand. Picking it up, I recognized Lorenzo's handwriting immediately.Gone to work baby girl. Call me when you wake up. -LA smile tugged at my lips as I re

  • The Supreme Alpha’s Hybrid Mate    Chapter 109: Things will start to look up

    RaelynnAfter a couple of hours of lounging around, flipping through books I found on the shelves, and generally trying to distract myself, I decided it was time to move. I got dressed, slipping into something comfortable yet presentable, and decided to go back to my old room to gather some of my things. It felt odd, thinking of that room as my old one now.As I left the bedroom and began walking through the hallways, the grandeur of the house struck me again. Lorenzo’s home…our home…was massive, but even with all its luxury, I still found myself longing for simpler things. The hallway was quieter than I expected, the soft echoes of my footsteps the only sound breaking the stillness. I made my way back toward the room I had been stayed in briefly, the one that held my belongings. The door creaked open, and I stepped inside, finding everything as I’d left it the night before. The room was small, cozy even, though it had never felt like home. I started gathering my things...arrangin

    RaelynnThe hours had passed in a blur of laughter and games. Ashley and I had spent the better part of the day touring the pack grounds, marveling at how beautiful and expansive everything was. For a few precious hours, the weight of my new reality had lifted, and I was just Raelynn, no titles, no expectations…just me and my friend.I checked the time on my phone, noticing it was past five o’clock. My screen lit up with a new message. It was from Lorenzo: “Let’s have dinner together tonight. I’ll be back around six.”I couldn’t help but smile as I read the text. The thought of seeing him again sent a warm flutter through my chest. Even though we were still figuring out this whole mate bond thing, every moment with him felt like a piece of the puzzle falling into place.I turned to Ashley, who had been unusually quiet for the last few minutes. She was sitting on a bench beside me, her eyes distant, her thoughts clearly somewhere far away. I placed a gentle hand on her shoulder, pul

    RaelynnI opened the door to the bedroom and stepped inside, the warmth of the room enveloping me instantly. Lorenzo hadn’t arrived yet, but I knew he wouldn’t be much longer. I took a few moments to freshen up, brushing my hair and changing into something a little more comfortable for dinner.By the time I finished, I heard the soft click of the door behind me. I turned around, and there he was…Lorenzo, standing in the doorway with a soft smile on his lips. His presence instantly filled the room, making the air feel charged with an energy that was uniquely his.“You found the library,” he said, his voice low and amused as he walked toward me.I chuckled, feeling a little embarrassed that I had been caught. “I couldn’t resist. It’s incredible in there.”He reached me, pulling me into his arms as his lips brushed against my forehead. “I knew you’d love it,” he murmured. “It’s one of my favorite places in the house.”I looked up at him, my heart swelling with affection. “Thank you for

  • The Supreme Alpha’s Hybrid Mate    Chapter 112: Sexual frustrations

    Alpha LorenzoI woke up that morning to the sight of her…my mate, Raelynn…nestled peacefully in my arms. For the past two nights, we had shared this bed, the intimacy between us deepening with every passing hour, yet I had kept my desires restrained, allowing her space to settle into this new reality. But now, I was losing control. The way she looked lying next to me, her soft breathing, the slight parting of her lips, the scent of her skin, it all made me feel like a man on the edge of sanity. Sexual frustration clawed at me, and I knew I couldn’t hold back much longer.I studied her face, watching the slow rise and fall of her chest, the delicate curve of her neck, and the way her hair spilled out across the pillow like a scarlet waterfall. She was beautiful. So beautiful that it hurt to look at her sometimes. I couldn’t resist the urge anymore; I had to touch her, feel her warmth against me.Carefully, I placed a soft kiss on her forehead, letting my lips linger there for a mom

  • The Supreme Alpha’s Hybrid Mate    Chapter 113: Silent pillars of strength

    Alpha LorenzoAs the car came to a halt in front of the towering Council headquarters, I exhaled a slow breath, steeling myself for the chaos that awaited inside. The building loomed ominously, an ancient structure built from stone and iron, the very foundations of our werewolf society. Today, I had an agenda that I knew wouldn’t sit well with many of the alphas present. But that didn’t matter. Change was coming whether they liked it or not.I stepped out of the vehicle, my boots clicking against the polished stone of the courtyard. Conan and Marcus flanked me, as they always did, the silent pillars of strength by my side. Together, we strode toward the entrance of the building, passing the massive statues of our ancestors…alphas who had built the werewolf world from the ground up. I intended to follow their legacy but with a new vision.The grand doors swung open as we approached, the heavy wood creaking with the weight of tradition. Inside, the air was thick with tension. Even w

    Alpha LorenzoI settled back into my chair, feeling the weight of their stares on me. They weren’t happy, but I didn’t expect them to be. Change was never easy. But they would adapt or be left behind.“Now,” I said, my tone calmer but no less firm, “the last matter on the agenda is one I know many of you will resist, but it’s necessary for the future of our packs.”I paused for a moment, glancing around the room. All eyes were on me, waiting for what I had to say next. Even Conan and Marcus, ever loyal, were watching me closely.“We need to open our borders to hybrid wolves.”The uproar this time was instantaneous, louder and more chaotic than before. Shouts of anger and disbelief echoed through the room, with several alphas standing and yelling in protest. The idea of allowing hybrids…wolves with mixed bloodlines, often shunned by traditional packs and the supernatural council, was too much for many of them to handle.“We can’t do that!” one alpha shouted. “Hybrids are dangerous!”“

  • The Supreme Alpha’s Hybrid Mate    Epilogue

    RaelynnThe sun shone through the thick velvet curtains of our room and illuminated everything with a warm, golden light. The warmth of it kissed my skin, reminding me that this was no dream...this was my reality.A reality that only a few years ago, seemed like a world impossible to conceive, completely shattered into pieces that I would never be able to pick up. Yet here I am, so much stronger and smarter and more at peace than I have ever been in my life.As I lay in bed, listening to the soft rustling of the leaves outside and the distant chirping of birds welcoming the new day, I couldn’t help but reflect on how far I’ve come. The memories of my past, once sharp and painful, now seemed like faded shadows in the back of my mind.The pain of loss and betrayal, the paralyzing fear that I experienced during those days of darkness seemed like a dream…a nightmare that I had finally woken up from.My life had changed so much since those days. I thought of the darkness that had so nearly

    Alpha LorenzoI wait outside the door to the dungeon the cold stone walls closing in around me. My hear beats faster the rage just below the surface.I need to do this. For Raelynn. For my pack. For all those who have been tormented by the life of valentine and his warped disciples.The door squeaks and I enter the somewhat dark hallway. It is damp and musty in there, with the drip of water bouncing off the walls.The guards nod their heads to me, with a very serious look on their faces. They know why I’m here. They know what I’m about to do.Valentine's cell is all the way at the end of the dungeon, away from all the others. I would have wanted him alone, removed from the rest of his nasty little gang. The man deserves no comfort, no company. Not after everything he’s done.I stand before his cell holding the cold iron bars. Valentine sits in there, perched on a little bench with his hands cuffed together in front of him.The look of pride and arrogance is no longer there, but instea

    Alpha LorenzoWe step outside of the building and the heat from the fire engulfs us, and at that moment, I feel Raelynn's body drop from my arms. She's out of breath, out of energy, and I pick her up and carry her the remainder of the way.“Conan, take care of Valentine and his scientists, I shout over my shoulder as we make our way to the waiting SUVs. “Round them all up. No one gets away.”Conan nods, his expression grim. “You got it, Alpha. We’ll make sure they pay for what they’ve done.”I nod, my focus on Raelynn as I lay her gently in the back seat of one of the SUVs. She’s unconscious, her breathing shallow, and I feel a surge of panic. I can’t lose her. Not now.“Go! I shout to the driver, and the SUV speeds away from the burning building, the flames reflected in the rearview mirror. I cradle Raelynn in my arms, my heart beating hard against my chest.“We’re almost there, I whisper, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “Just hold on a little longer, love. You’re going to b

    Alpha LorenzoSo I pound my fist on the aluminum door as hard as I can, and I keep pounding and the door starts to cave in. Every hit vibrates up my arm, but I bite down on my tongue and continue. Raelynn is on the other side. I can feel her presence through our bond, faint but unmistakable.My entire body is on fire from the exertion, beads of sweat drip from my face into my eyes, but I will not give up. I can’t. Not when I’m this close. The dent in the door is minor, almost unnoticeable, but it is there. So I put all of my strength, and my anger, and my hopelessness into one last punch and I hope that it is.Then, without warning, a rush of warmth washes over the door. I yank my hand back, startled. The metal is red hot and I have to back up so I don't get burnt.I stare in disbelief as fire dances around the border of the door and the metal contorts and melts like some unseen force is wrenching it asunder.“What the hell…” I mutter, my eyes wide. This isn’t just fire; it’s somethin

    RaelynnI’ ve been planning this for weeks. The smallest mistakes could cost me everything, so I’ve waited, watching, studying every guard’s routine. I’ve observed their movements, noted their shifts, even the way they carry themselves when they think no one is looking.One guard, in particular, caught my eye…small, unassuming, always on edge as if the very walls were closing in on him. I could see it in his eyes, the fear, the sweat above his brow whenever he was around me. And that made him my target.Well, this morning he was on walking post by my cell and I just knew it was time. He did not even realize how easily he was being played with.The shadows that had been my friends in darkness reached out to take his thoughts, pushing his focus away. A ripple of my fingers and the shadows told him of distant cares and his mind floated just enough for me to move.I moved silently, my fingers deft and quick, slipping into his pocket as he turned away. The cold metal of the key against my

My sense of time in this cold, damp cell is lost, days and nights running together in one continuous void of nothingness.I have no idea how long it’s been since I was tossed into this hell, since I was deprived of my dignity and my wolf. I don’t even know if it matters anymore. This place, this emptiness, it consumes you.I resemble now and again when the guards bring out their needles I test myself to see if I can remember what I was like before all this. I try to remember what it felt like to be free, to be whole.But those memories are as fragments of a dream. They are so beautiful and so elusive, and they dissolve before I can catch them. I have nothing but the pain to grasp on to. It’s the only thing that feels real anymore.I roll over on the cold floor and the chains that bind my wrists and ankles rattle.

The feeling of desperation claws at my insides, a gnawing ache that won’t go away no matter how many leads we chase, no matter how many faces I growl at in frustration. Every day without her feels like an eternity, every moment a fresh wound reopening. Max is restless, prowling just beneath the surface, ready to break free and tear apart anyone who gets in my way.I shouldn’t be here, pacing in my study with my phone clenched in my hand. I should be out there, tracking her down myself. But even alphas have duties, responsibilities, and meetings they can’t avoid. Today, it’s the damn council meeting, and if I don’t show up, there’ll be more questions than I’m prepared to answer. I need to keep up appearances. I need to make them believe everything is fine, that my world isn’t shattering around me piece by piece.“E
