Wild Heart, Untamed Alphas 24 Just For Tonight
~Summer~While we waited for Winter to bring the evidence, Sebastien continued to speak to Mary and Joyce."The two of you have been poisoning the children, I see," Sebastien said, and they shook their heads. "What do you do with all the food and money delivered to this orphanage? Why should they eat poorly, and why will you say such painful things to them? This place aims to create a home for the children where they will be loved and wanted. This isn't a concentration camp. Is this what my mother appointed you to do?" he asked Mary, and she shook her head."And who told you that Miss Ashfield and Miss Crayton would work under you? Didn't you get the memo?" He asked. "They are your supervisors and are in charge of the orphanage. For as long as they are in Mountain, they run the orphanage. Do not tell me that Gamma Tevin didn't tell you," He said, and Mary began to stammer. I couldn't believe they were given the instruction."We were waiting for Lady Albert," Joyce said in a small voi

Winter The day was truly chaotic, to be honest. All I craved was a sip of whiskey and a good night's sleep. One of the advantages of being in the orphanage was its premium liquor collection, which proved to be a soothing aid for my sleep. Yet, I couldn't shake the concern that my visits to the bottle might be becoming a bit too frequent. I'm mindful not to overindulge, just seeking enough to ease my nerves and find some solace in sleep. After all that unfolded today, I desperately needed some tranquillity. The conflicts with Mary and Joyce had stirred frustration within me. Despite entertaining thoughts of retaliation, I reminded myself of the promise I made to Summer – to keep my composure. So, I chose to adhere to that commitment. Believe me, it was an incredibly challenging situation. Witnessing Mary address the children in that manner and then dismissively telling me to mind my business was truly disheartening. Our arrangement with the Alphas didn't involve working alongsi

Winter Noah didn't appear offended by my question. If he harboured any emotions, he kept them well hidden. Dealing with people like him, who were challenging to read, presented its own set of difficulties. Silence, it seemed, was my safest course of action. "More whiskey?" he inquired, and a wave of shame washed over me. The concern lingered that he might assume I had a drinking problem. Despite my true inclination, I immediately shook my head in refusal. "I just want company," he mentioned, and I furrowed my brow, trying to decipher his intent. "You asked why I requested for you," he reminded me, and I nodded, feeling a bit foolish for forgetting my original question. Whether I should feel honoured or not, I couldn't quite decide. It seemed inconsequential. "Since you won't tell me what went on in Hayland, care to share what you want to do now?" he inquired, rising from his chair and heading to the bar to prepare drinks. I averted my gaze, avoiding the temptation to ask for more.

~Winter~ Noah wasn't playing; the glint in his eyes when he spoke of his intentions said it all. I would be a fool to deny the truth and say he was bluffing because I knew he wasn't. I looked at the direction Sebastien led Summer, and I fought the temptation to call Summer a traitor. The least she could have done for me was remain; maybe that would have made Noah choose his words carefully, but I doubted their presence would have deterred him, and I doubted Sebastien led Summer away to give us space. I believe he led her away because he had his intentions towards her. I remained still, unsure how to respond to Noah's words. He kept his eyes on me, and his look showed pure intent. Putting down the cutlery, he got up and approached me. The spoon in my hand began to shake, or better still, my hand shook with fear and anticipation. It was a weird mix, but here I was, oscillating between both, with each emotion bleeding into the other. What would he do to me? The thought alo
Last Updated : 2023-12-21Wild Heart, Untamed Alphas 28 Morning After
~Winter~ Alone in bed, I awoke with a jolt, momentarily disoriented by the unfamiliar surroundings of the alphas' duplex. Panic set in until the realisation dawned on me. I scanned the room, seeking Noah, but the space next to me was vacant and chilled, indicating he had either left hours ago or never occupied that bed. Glancing at the clock, which read five in the morning, memories of the previous night flooded my mind, and the consequences of my actions with Noah became painfully clear—I had made a regrettable mistake. "Great Winter. Way to go," I said, burying my face in my palm. Knowing somehow I had just complicated things for myself in Mountain. I didn't know how to read Noah's actions. Why didn't he sleep in his bed? Was it because of me? He didn't even fuck me properly. He just ate me out. Was he mad that I passed out? I didn't know what to think or how to feel, but I felt like I had done something wrong. Getting off the bed, I gathered my clothes and wore them quickly. I
Last Updated : 2023-12-21Wild Heart, Untamed Alphas 29 A Day With Noah
~Winter~ Noah wasn't the kind of man who took no for an answer, and his persistent nature both intrigued and infuriated me. I couldn't deny that there was a magnetic pull in his determination, an energy that seemed to challenge me at every turn. As I sat there, engrossed in the file before me, I couldn't shake off the feeling that Noah would indeed make good on his threat. The temptation to push him over, to test the limits of his audacity, crept over me. Would he follow through on his promise to clear the table and take me right there in the office? It was a scenario that danced on the edge of my curiosity and apprehension. I wasn't one to back down from a challenge, but the venue was all wrong, and a nagging thought lingered in my mind – anyone could walk into the office at any moment, and Noah wouldn't bat an eye. In that moment, I made a decision. Respecting both myself and the professional environment around us, I carefully put down the file I was reviewing. The hushed click o

~Winter~ Our first stop was the jewellery stores. A bitter taste rose in my mouth as we entered the shopping avenue. Memories flooded back of the night we got caught, the very shop where Summer and I had attempted burglary. Shame coursed through me, a visceral reaction to my own past recklessness. Why had I thought robbing those stores was acceptable? Selfishness had clouded my judgment, and I hadn't considered the repercussions our actions would have on the store owners. Driving through the avenue, I felt a weight of guilt settle over me. I imagined the shopkeepers peering through their windows, recognising me, condemning my past misdeeds. The shame was palpable, and I couldn't escape the feeling that somehow, they could see me, that they knew exactly what I had done. “It's best you forget about it,” Noah's voice cut through my misery. “They don’t know you. They never saw your face. We had the footage erased and the matter buried,” he continued, surprising me. Why would Noah and S

~Summer~ Sebastien was telling the truth when he said Noah wasn't patient. Leaving Winter at his mercy in the dining room felt wrong, but I didn't think I had any choice. As much as I wanted to linger, something told me Noah would be good for her. She was stubborn, and he seemed like the no-nonsense type. A good match, I must say, and somehow, I wished Brandon had not ruined her before they met; maybe she would have been more open and less cautious, but it seemed Noah might just break through her defences. Honestly, I was afraid. Not just for Winter but for me, too. I still could not erase the event that unfolded at Winter's supposed wedding. The truth was Winter and I were nobodies, so it was okay for Brandon to walk all over her without consequence. Brandon wasn't as important as the Alberts in the grand scheme of things. If it was okay for Brandon to mess Winter up like that, what would happen to us when the Alberts decide they are done?Honestly, I was afraid, but I dared not

Wild Heart, Untamed Alphas To My Dear Readers And Co-Writers
I want to start by saying I'm truly sorry for the short chapters. It seems there are now "ideal word count limits" to adhere to. I deeply regret the prolonged silence, but I've been grappling with severe health issues lately, and I'm still in the throes of recovery.

I do hope to return with a new story soon, and hope you will all be there, but for now, I must concede and focus on recuperating. The silence weighs heavy on me, and I truly hope you enjoyed the story and its conclusion. This marks the final instalment in the DSOF series.

Wild Heart, Untamed Alphas 199 To Our Forever Love
~Winter~ A year passed, and all the struggles were a distant memory. Now, we were hosting the gathering in the East, and Summer, Chelsea and I had gone over time. Chelsea was a new mother now. She and Ethan had wasted no time. They claimed each other and got married the next month. Normally, we all thought they would wait, but two months later, she was pregnant, and a lovely girl named Evangeline was the product. Evangeline was a beautiful blonde baby, and we all loved her. We were new moms ourselves, and Summer and I couldn't carry Evangeline as much as we would like. I had twins, and they were adorable. Both of them looked like Stepanovs, and I wondered if my genes ever stood a chance. My daughter's name was Michelle, and My son's name was Frederick. They were adorable, and I loved them so much. Summer had a son, and she and Sebastien named Him Leonardo after Sebasteins's father. He was cute and looked a lot like his grandfather, but he had green eyes like Summer. She w
Wild Heart, Untamed Alphas 198 Fated Or Not
Ethan I was nervous about seeing Chelsea. Although we said it wouldn't matter if we weren't fated, I didn't know why I was suddenly nervous. I had never cared for anyone the way I cared for her, and I knew it was the same for her. So I wondered why I was unwilling to see her tonight. Her eighteenth birthday was in a few hours, and I had promised to be the first person to see her, but my heart was beating fast. I had stayed away from the house all evening, avoiding her. She said she would spend the time with me, and Noah had confirmed that she was in our home. Though not showing, we found out after the wedding that Summer and Winter were pregnant, and they were very peckish, so Chelsea always brought them snacks. Although Summer and Winter had planned a party for her, it wasn't going to take place until the evening of her birthday. It had been torture waiting these months, and now it was finally time for me to make her mine. I never planned to be with anyone except for her, so
Wild Heart, Untamed Alphas 197 The Bluemoon Night (Lucland)
~Gemma~ It had finally come to this, and after the crowd and everyone had left, Lucas and I drove home from the estate. Although our wedding took place at the estate, I was now at Rivers, and my man was taking me home. How could I have tried to make it difficult for him? He was genuinely in love with me. Our union was embraced by both families, and Katalina was a thing of the past. The fact that nothing had ever transpired between her and Lucas made me relax. I didn't feel guilty one bit. Lucas had had some girlfriends, but he was mine now. He pulled me to his body in the back seat of the limo that was taking us home. Lucas crashed his lips on mine, drinking me in. Our wolves had claimed each other in the eyes of all and the moon. He was mine through and through. The moment the bond formed, I knew I had found my forever love. I kissed him. Every fibre of my being was burning with desire. I wanted him. My body craved him. He had made love to me severally since we returne
Wild Heart, Untamed Alphas 196 The Bluemoon Night
~Winter~ The day of the blue moon had finally arrived, and I was consumed with nerves like never before. I'd been down this road once, and it hadn't ended well. As I veiled my face, my eyes met Summer's, resplendent in her wedding attire. Her touch on my hand offered reassurance. "It won't be like last time, Winter. This is real," she whispered, her words calming my racing heart. I nodded, believing this time would be different. Noah's love was steadfast. Lady Amelia entered the tent, her eyes alight with happiness. In her hands were two ornate jewellery boxes, undoubtedly meant for us. "You both look stunning tonight," she beamed, her words touching my soul. Lady Amelia loved us as a mother would her child; she cherished us as much as her own sons, a rare bond that set her apart. Approaching me, she unveiled the contents of the box meant for my adornment. A breathtaking gold necklace adorned with sapphire stones and dazzling diamonds lay nestled within. It was a masterpiece. "I
Wild Heart, Untamed Alphas 195 The Hearing
~Noah~ Three weeks passed, and the dust finally settled when the fugitives were apprehended by an angry mob of people eager to prove to their monarch that they were sorry for allowing themselves to be used and deceived into hindering progress. They had killed Kane and Ramos, leaving Gavin and Moses. I could bet that the only reason why they left Gavin and Moses, judging by the state they were in when they brought them, was because they wanted to deliver them to the authorities. They were battered, and silver was clamped on their wrist. I wished I had witnessed the mog action. Some parts of it were in the news. With the way the people surrounded them. They had no choice. It was a battle lost before it started. They had sprayed them silver dust to incapacitate them and then beat Kane and Ramos to death while they chained Gavin and Moses for judgment. I guess the King's words, coupled with my father's words and show of disappointment, got to them. Indeed, they had unknowingly helped
Wild Heart, Untamed Alphas 194 Won't Let You Slip
~Anthony~ My wolf was urging me to bridge the gap and assert our claim, but I remained dumbfounded. Frankly, I never imagined it would happen, especially not with Aspen. Here I was, enamoured with Chelsea, even competing with Ethan for her attention, when all along, it was Aspen who held my heart. Was Aspen the catalyst for my feelings for Chelsea? I realised I often encountered her before seeing Chelsea, yet I was too preoccupied with Chelsea to consider Aspen. I remember my first time at the orphanage; she was the one at the door greeting us, and she was particularly nice to me. On the second occasion, I went there, I ended up spending time with her. She opened up to me, telling me what she wouldn't dare tell anyone. The bond had been rearing its head, and I was too stubborn to realise it. She was the one who came to celebrate the victory with me when I was feeling lonely. It was her all along. Fate threw me her way severally and put her in my face, but my desires did not allo
Wild Heart, Untamed Alphas 193 Going home
~Anthony~ I waited for Aspen to pack her belongings in the evening so we could leave. I was going to leave the next day, as I had told Ethan, but my father had urged me to leave immediately. Everyone had gone back home, so waiting was pointless. Luis was around, though, and he planned to leave the next day. I was the only one still in Mountain, so I could understand when my parents asked me to go home. I escorted Aspen to her father's house so she could pack her belongings, and I went there with warriors just in case the man was being funny. I knew this was the right thing for her. If she stayed there any longer, she would end up dead. One day, he would take it too far and leave the silver on her a little too long for her body to recover. I had no obligations towards her, but I could not ignore her cry for help. Kirill was outside, and he looked at me, angry and powerless. He knew it was over. I was a lord so there was nothing he could do but just stew in his anger. "You c
Wild Heart, Untamed Alphas 192 Homecoming
~Leo~ As we made our way there, Ethan and Sebastian, accompanied by Summer and another girl who seemed to share the same origins as Summer and Winter, clung to Ethan. The girl wore a t-shirt with the words "Victory: because Adulthood is overrated" printed on it. Seeing how the girl and Ethan clung to each other, I knew they were together. They walked to me quickly, and Summer let go of Sebastian and hugged Amelia tightly. "We missed you; we were worried and scared," She confessed, and Amelia rubbed her back lovingly as a mother would hug her child. "I heard you fought well, Luna," she teased Summer, and Summer broke the hug with tears in her eyes. She was overjoyed to see us. She hugged me, too, but she didn't say anything. I looked at Ethan, and he had a straight face, but I could tell he was hiding his emotions. Amelia pulled him to a hug. "I am so proud of you, son," She said, and he held on to her; his hands shook, and I could tell he had feared the worst. Breaking the hug,
