Winning Over the Alpha Chapter 23
*Mature Content*~Tessa~Tessa felt the back of her legs connect with the mattress as their kiss became filled with passion. She attempted to reach for Dainin’s belt, but his hand caught her wrist in a firm hold. Nipping her lower lip between his teeth, Dainin pulled away with a growl that made Tessa’s heart beat wildly.“I’ll tell you when you can play,” he spoke low, forcing her to meet his heated gaze. When his hand released her wrist, she obediently left it at her side and closed her eyes. As a reward, Dainin palmed her ass, giving it a firm squeeze that sent her hips surging forward. “Good girl,” he praised darkly with a kiss, and goosebumps rose on her skin in response to his dominance.Through hooded eyes, Tessa watched him slowly unbutton his shirt, exposing his toned body, before dropping to his knees before her. He guided her hands over his chest to rest on his shoulders, allowing Tessa to admire every exquisite feature Dainin had. He seemed to be admiring her as well.Dainin

~Tessa~ In the early morning hours, Tessa wandered into her office. She was skimming through all the reports Dainin’s pack sent over before they arrived in Maine. “There has to be something we’re missing,” she thought, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Tessa glanced at the clock on her desk to find it was only four am. She stretched, wishing she was still curled up with Dainin, especially after the night they shared, but her mind would not let her rest. It was buzzing with different motives John might have against Dainin’s pack and if they overlooked anyone as a suspect from White Sand. She was about to go through Dainin’s folder again when she heard a light knock on the door. “Come in,” she called out, already knowing who it was. Zander stepped in with a grim expression. “It’s a little early to already be down in the dumps, isn’t it? Is Cadence giving you the cold shoulder,” she teased, placing the folder down with a smirk. Her face immediately fell when her cousin remained

~Dainin~ It was the middle of the afternoon when the sky opened, releasing a light drizzle over the crowd. The onlookers in the stands, and the warriors on the practice field, rejoiced as the cool rain gave them a break from the relentless humidity. Everyone from Dainin’s pack joined Blue Ridge to watch hundreds of the region’s warriors work their way through the rigorous tests and obstacles. It was not only a test of strength but also teamwork. The Warriors taking charge of the group needed to prove they deserved a higher rank in the guard. Dainin wasn’t surprised to discover Tessa designed this system after forming her Elite squad. He overheard the other Alphas praising her methods. Dainin knew firsthand how stubborn males can be and for an Alpha to set aside his pride to give her credit was a big deal. “We should consider making one of those squads too,” his wolf chimed in with excitement as they watched a few wolves from his pack take charge. Some were even females. His warrior

~Tessa~ Tessa stood frozen in place as she watched Dainin’s wolf retreat into the woods. “What have I done,” she asked her wolf but was met with silence. Tessa couldn’t blame her for being angry. She had been begging Tessa to talk things out with Dainin all day, but she stubbornly refused. Now her decision may have cost her everything. Dainin’s rejection of her touch fueled her need to feel him, to be reassured they were still connected. Tessa desperately opened their bond but was met with a rush of hurt and betrayal. Her hand grabbed at her chest as the pain overwhelmed her, causing her knees to buckle and tears to instantly fall from her eyes. She did this to Dainin. She made him experience these terrible feelings by not trusting him. Everything was moving in slow motion and Tessa didn’t realize she was holding her breath until a hand grasped her shoulder. She gasped for air and when her spotted vision cleared she met Zander's apologetic eyes. He opened his mouth to speak but se

~Dainin~ Dainin could feel Tessa trying to contact him, but he had given his wolf full control to run off their anger and hurt so they could face this with a clear mind. Tessa may as well have ripped his heart out, yet Dainin wondered if he would have doubted her if the roles were reversed. "Still doesn't excuse her behavior. She should have just asked us," his wolf interjected. He wasn't ready to let it go. "All that talk of honesty and trust was just that. Talk. For once don’t be so level-headed," he snarled, clawing a nearby tree and turning it to splinters. Dainin knew if he ever wanted his wolf to calm down, he'd have to stay quiet and go along for the ride. He knew better than to argue when a wolf's emotions were involved, especially an Alpha. *** After hours of running in the rain, Dainin's wolf finally felt the need to return to the house. A group of wandering pack members had returned from Blue Ridge but didn't dare make eye contact with him. "They must have witnessed w

~Tessa~ It felt like Tessa had been running through the forest for hours. She had been separated from Zander and felt like she was stuck in limbo. After deciding to scratch a mark into each tree she passed, Tessa discovered she’s been following the same path for four laps now. This solidified her suspicions that magic was at play here. Somehow, she was trapped in an illusion and needed to find her way back to her territory. The more concerning fact was that her link was cut off from the pack and Dainin. She could feel their connection through the bond, but it wasn't enough. Tessa wished he were with her and missed him more and more with every passing second. Finding herself lapping the path for the fifth time, Tessa noticed the clouds finally began disappearing to reveal a pale moon and it felt like she had just been pulled out of a haze. “Alpha! Are you there," Cadence’s voice screamed in her head, causing her wolf to wince and growl at the sudden intrusion, but they were grateful

~Dainin~ Darkness surrounded Dainin while his body burned with volts of electricity coursing beneath his skin. He had no idea how long he had been trapped in this hell. His body could have been floating in the never-ending abyss for days, or even months, with only his erratic heartbeat reminding him he was alive. The white noise was keeping him disoriented and he couldn't tell which way was up or down. Although Dainin couldn't feel their connections anymore, thoughts of Tessa and his pack kept him calm. He needed them to keep his mind off the absence of his wolf. His silence, ever since Dainin regained consciousness, worried him and he prayed, that whatever the woman did to him, didn't erase his wolf forever. Without warning, Dainin felt a pounding pressure in his head causing him to internally scream in agony. His mind was suddenly ripped away from the darkness and into the light. When his blurred vision cleared, Dainin saw he was in a cell. He immediately searched for signs of d

~Dainin~ Dainin tried to break free from the silver chains but his attempts were in vain. The combination of silver, and the wolfsbane they injected into his neck, weakened him to the point he couldn’t even break the wooden chair he was shackled to. His body became soaked in sweat from his efforts, making him feel helpless and pathetic. “I will rip you apart if you touch a hair on her head,” Dainin threatened, his voice becoming hoarse from all the yelling. He knew he was alone, but he didn’t care. Tessa and his pack were in danger and he was determined not to fail them as he failed his parents. Knowing they were killed by this monster saddened him, but he offered them shelter and protection. His father arrogantly refused, wanting the freedom to be a womanizing alcoholic and his mother blindly followed her mate. It pained Dainin to see her so lost from despair after suffering for years over his infidelity. They were simply existing in this world, but Dainin still wondered if he sho

~Tessa~ The King’s arrogance unearthed childhood memories Tessa had long forgotten. “I really think you should stay home with your mom this time. Remember how bored you were at the last meeting,” her father contested Tessa’s pleas, but she was stubborn and soon found herself passing through the polished gates. “I’ll never admit Dad was right,” Tessa complained, mindlessly following the deep burgundy carpet that lined the marble halls. The air was stale with age and the decor seemed to be plucked from the movies where sweaty men wore powdered wigs and sipped wine all day. The portraits of deceased royals covering the walls matched the men flooding her imagination. The staff were dreadfully pretentious as well. They typically ignored Tessa’s presence, but that all changed when she caught a boy eavesdropping at the door of the Great Hall. “Hey, you better not be spying on them,” Tessa exclaimed, tackling him to the ground. Her outburst caught everyone’s attention and she quickly fo

~Dainin~ All chaos ceased immediately when an ominous growl echoed throughout the ballroom. Dainin watched Eric slam into the solid chest of a monstrous beast, knocking him to the ground. When the Alpha tried to escape, a clawed hand captured his throat, lifting him into the air. Once Eric stopped resisting, the wolf-like creature stood tall on two legs. Muscles rippled beneath a thin coat of black fur as it walked to the center of the room. Eric’s body carelessly swayed in its grasp like a doll being carried by a child. “This is no child. I wasn’t expecting to see a Lycan show up here,” his wolf muttered, cautiously observing the creature. Its snout twisted into a menacing sneer full of sharp teeth and rage swirled within the fiery golden hues of its eyes. The strong aura, permeating the air, had the vast space shrinking from its presence and nobody dared to even breathe. Dainin shifted back into his human form when the Lycan became more interested in Eric than the surrounding

*WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS GRAPHIC AND SENSITIVE CONTENT WHICH MAY BE TRIGGERING TO SOME READERS. READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED* ~Dainin~ When Dainin and Tessa followed the last Alpha into the ballroom, Dainin motioned for the guards to close the doors behind them. Everyone remained silent as they passed. Blue light emanated from the projector as it shone on the large silk screen positioned in front of the stage. The room felt thick with rage rolling off the surrounding packs, but Dainin was amused. Each traitor, including the prideful Eric, stood frozen in the center of the dance floor with their eyes wide with shock and locked on the screen. Dainin waited a moment to let the reality of their situation sink in until Eric broke the silence. “What is the meaning of this? Who are these people,” he shouted in outrage. His eyes angrily scanned the room, daring someone to explain. Dainin loved watching Eric lose his composure, but a figure caught his attention out of the corner of

~Tessa~ Tessa felt restless as she watched heavy snowflakes descend from the sky. Thick grey clouds blocked out the sun, creating untimely darkness during the late morning which deepened the chill in the air. The scenery only disturbed the once beautiful atmosphere of winter, and the harsh wind caused the fur around Tessa's hood to dance against her skin, tickling her cheeks. She brushed it away and turned to Dainin, who stood tall beside her in his plain hoodie and jeans, his stoic features overshadowed by the overcast. When Tessa first laid eyes on his attire in their bedroom, Dainin raised his hand to stop her from commenting. "I know what you're going to say, but I'm not here to impress these animals," he growled before stalking toward the door. He paused for a moment with his hand hovering over the doorknob and glanced back at her. “You look beautiful,” he said with a gentle smile as his eyes traveled over her fitted maroon maternity dress, pausing to admire her midsection.

~Tessa~ Tessa entered the gym knowing Dainin would be working out his frustration. Once she reached the bottom step, she slowed her pace and began to look around for her mate. The gym was vast with a tense atmosphere and no other pack members in sight. "I'm not surprised. Nobody wants to be in the way of an angry Alpha," her wolf snickered. The large room was dimly lit, allowing Tessa to use the darkness to her advantage as she followed the only sound permeating through the air. She hid behind a pillar, peering around the edge, and her mouth watered at the sight before her. She watched, with bated breath, as Dainin sent punch after punch against the heavy bag. His muscles rippled with each swift strike and Tessa’s legs grew weak. She found herself using the pillar for support, forcing her eyes closed to take control of her breathing, but the spellbinding vision of her mate plagued her mind. “Get used to it,” her wolf teased, looking forward to an eternity of drooling over the man

~Tessa~ Tessa’s frustration motivated her to find a way to convince everyone that she and Dainin were only joining their packs out of love. She knew the Werewolf Council would feel their plans didn't threaten the Alliance, but the thought of these few Alphas fearing such a thing enraged her. “Then they have the nerve to want my pack members transferred? They're probably intimidated because a male would be in power now too. Bastards,” Tessa growled under her breath while sifting through each file she had on the cowards. It didn’t take her long to notice the pattern. Each Alpha involved had been a suitor she refused to mate with. She was glad she followed her instincts and stayed away from them because they were not pursuing her with pure intentions. If their fathers hadn’t been family friends, Tessa would never have agreed to continue an alliance with them in the first place. There had been countless occasions where Blue Ridge was forced to bail them out of financial turmoil. Tessa

~Tessa~ Later that day, Tessa found herself reviewing all the plans her Grandmother left piled on her desk. "I have a feeling she's been working on this long before today,” her wolf sighed, earning a chuckle from Tessa as they sifted through the stack of papers. "Gran and her parties," she muttered to herself, seeing everything from rentals, decoration plans, and finally the thick guest list. “I think she went a little overboard this time,” Tessa’s wolf whined at the sight of the stack of pages, but for once, Tessa was excited to look it over. She had made it her mission to become familiar with her pack members since the battle. Now that she could put a face to the names on the list, Tessa felt a sense of kinship. Pack occasions were no longer just about business. They became a gathering of a family she never thought she’d have again, and now it was about to double in size. Her gaze froze when her eyes fell on Milo’s name, and it brought her back to earlier in the afternoon when

~Dainin~ Dainin’s anticipation only grew the longer they waited for Alan and Leah to arrive. “We shouldn’t be surprised he’s running late, and I’m sure Leah is the only reason he’s even on his way,” Dainin’s wolf sighed in disappointment. “His heart is in the right place. Alan may be a goof, but he despised our father’s carelessness as much as I did and worked hard to prove he deserved to be the Beta,” Dainin defended his brother, earning silence from his wolf. Even with all of Alan's quirks, Dainin knew he'd protect the pack with his life. He proved that on the day of the attack. The sudden thought of his father brought Dainin back to the days Tessa was recovering in the hospital. Alan had stopped by to visit her and it was the first time Dainin was alone with him since the night he went missing. He finally had a chance to tell him about their parent’s murder. “As sad as this is, we tried everything we could to protect them, Dain. Dad made his choice, and like always, his pride go

~Tessa~ The first snow of the season fell overnight, covering the usual luscious green landscape in a glistening blanket of white. Tessa smiled while admiring the beauty outside. Winter always made her feel refreshed. It reminded her that a new year was fast approaching, and everything could start with a clean slate. She was looking forward to leaving her murky past behind her for a fresh start. "Positive changes are coming our way," she thought as her hand mindlessly caressed her now prominent stomach. A creak from the bed behind her caught her attention followed by Dainin’s deep voice filling the room. “Everything okay, love,” he asked, causing Tessa’s breath to hitch in her throat. She turned to find her glorious mate propped on his elbow, scanning her body with his dark eyes. A blush immediately flooded her cheeks because, although she was wearing her nightgown and robe, she may as well have been naked under his hungry gaze. Tessa cleared her throat to try and compose herself
