Winning Over the Alpha Chapter 11
~Dainin~ Dainin leaned with his palms flat against the shower tiles. The hot water running down his body soothed his aching muscles after a grueling sparring match with his mate. At first, he was excited to get his hand on her, but it quickly turned into a test of speed and agility. When Tessa gained the upper hand she took him down fast and hard with no remorse. “Probably getting back at you for leaving her against the tree,” his wolf growled, still upset with Dainin for refusing to finish what he started. "It wouldn’t have been what she wanted,” Dainin sighed, his jaw growing tense thinking about last night. He knew if their eyes met, he’d lose control. ”She made it clear she didn’t want to rush things during dinner. If we took advantage of her emotions from the bond how could we face her,” he asked. “You’re right,” his wolf admitted. ”Besides that, our pack’s training needs work. The few Warriors we brought could barely hold their own against Blue Ridge today. Once our pack is s

~Dainin~ On the patio, Dainin was greeted by a short woman who engulfed him in a hug. “Finally,” she exclaimed as she pushed herself away, to get a better look at him. “It’s about time you found her. Goddess knows this child wasn’t much help,” she scolded, glaring at Tessa. “She was worth the wait, Miss,” Dainin admitted, smiling down at the elderly woman. She simply laughed as a blush crept up her cheeks. “Oh please, call me Lori. I’m Tessa’s Grandmother,” she smiled, and her eyes were lit with affection. It was just like looking into Tessa’s golden hues. Lori took Dainin’s wrist and led him to a table with an abundant spread of pastries. “This all looks delicious. Thank you for putting in so much effort for my sake,” he thanked her, earning him a fit of giggles. “Please, don’t encourage her. She has a huge ego already,” Tessa whispered. Dainin tried to contain his chuckle but failed when Lori shot Tessa another playful glare and slapped her arm. “Let the boy say what he wants.

*Mature Content* ~Tessa~ Tessa closed her bathroom door and stripped out of her training clothes. Her mind raced with everything she's done since the Rogues were spotted a few days ago. She couldn't help but worry for her pack's safety, but it was obvious the Rogues were interested in White Sand and not Blue Ridge. "As the neighboring Alpha, it's our responsibility to protect them, but they are our mate's pack too," her wolf casually mentioned, but Tessa didn't have the energy to argue with her. All she wanted was a hot bath. Sitting on the cool edge of her large claw foot tub, Tessa turned the knob and became lost in the waterfall that cascaded from her faucet. When the water began to rise, she gently placed a bath bomb into the hot water and watched it fizzle into a satisfying pastel rainbow then stood in front of the mirror. Dark circles enhanced the exhausted look in her eyes and fly aways stuck to her cheeks from sweat. "This is a look," she cringed, pulling her long hair fre

~Dainin~ It was late morning when Dainin woke up at Tessa’s side. He was surprised to find her fast asleep with her beautiful hair covering her pillow, tempting him to run it through his fingers. Instead, he carefully pushed it aside to admire the imprint of his mark. Sparks pulsed beneath the pads of his fingers which traced the raised edges. Tessa stirred, snuggling herself against his large frame with a sigh and Dainin couldn't resist pulling her close to place a sweet kiss on her shoulder. After the chaotic weekend he had, Dainin never expected his evening would end with something so special. It was beyond anything he could have ever imagined. *** As soon as he finished assigning living arrangements for his pack, his wolf begged for a run and they were surprised to find their mate's scent beginning to fade just outside their borders. Dainin gave his wolf full control to follow her delicious scent and before long, he was standing outside of her bedroom, knocking desperately.

~Tessa~ As much as Tessa wanted to stay in Dainin's bed all morning, there was a lot of work waiting for her at home. Dainin entered her life like a whirlwind of change, disrupting her usual strict schedule, and Tessa could feel herself falling behind. She even skipped last night's training to find him tracking something along his border. "Let's sneak out while he's sleeping," Tessa suggested, replacing her body with a pillow after slipping from his arms. She snickered when he pulled the pillow closer, inhaling her scent in his sleep. "Our mate is adorable," her wolf sighed. They both admired the way his tanned muscles flexed across his bare back to his glorious ass beneath the sheet. A soft moan passed her lips and Tessa found herself reaching out to pull the cloth lower, needing to see the hidden treasure, but froze, inches away when Dainin moved. "Get it together," Tessa scolded herself, quickly getting dressed to leave the room before she jumped him. She never thought in a mi

~Tessa~ Tessa woke up to the sensation of rocking in a soft comforting sway. She felt secure and opened her eyes to find her mate's toned, tanned chest. His sweet citrus scent pulled her in closer. "I guess someone's awake," Dainin chuckled, placing Tessa's feet on the ground. He towered over her and his larger hands enveloped her own in a gentle grasp."Why didn't you wake me up," he asked, laying his head in the crook of her neck. Reality set in and Tessa's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. Her behavior from earlier was demeaning and he was never meant to see her that way. On instinct, Tessa turned away in shame. "I can only imagine how neurotic I look right now," she thought, wanting to run, but Dainin's hand caressed her cheek, pushing the matted hair away from her face. "Tessa, we don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, but please don't feel ashamed. I will never judge you for having emotions," he assured her, softly kissing her forehead. "You're safe with me." Tessa'

~Dainin~ Memorizing the feeling of Tessa’s touch, and the way she felt in his arms, helped Dainin gain full control of his wolf. If the Moon Goddess was watching over them, this was a cruel joke she played. “A lifetime together isn’t long enough,” he thought, breathing in her scent, knowing they'd soon be scouring every inch of this forest for those filthy Rogues that dared threaten Tessa's life. "I will admit, they were barely a threat to her. Did you see the way she took them down?” His wolf was impressed and Dainin's chest swelled with pride. The strength and skill Tessa displayed were breathtaking, but she was still his mate. Anyone who wanted to harm her would pay with their lives. "How could John do this to her? He was her father's best friend and now he wants to take over Blue Ridge by any means necessary," Dainin questioned, but his wolf was silently trying to make sense of it all himself. One thing was certain, neither of them was willing to stand by and watch their mate be

~Tessa~ Tessa woke up to the blinding rays of the mid-morning sun. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and found she was alone in her eerily quiet room. “If only I never got out of bed this morning,” Tessa thought to her wolf, who only whined in a pained response. They both wished they remained safely in bed with their mate and were none the wiser to this new brutal truth. Stretching her limbs, Tessa’s body felt refreshed, but her mental state was sluggish and drained. Her heart was screaming at her to avoid everything and just get back in bed, but Tessa knew she couldn’t hide like a coward. With a deep breath, she threw the comforter off and rose from the bed. The soft, thick fabric of her robe fell around her body, hiding her shaking frame, but she welcomed the protective layer after being emotionally stripped raw earlier that morning. Thankfully, she already felt her courage being restored with the new purpose of revenge. Taking her first steps, Tessa’s damp hair skimmed her ch

~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
