Winning Over the Alpha Loving an Alpha: Chapter 8
~Unknown~ “How much further,” the wolf wheezed, frothing at the mouth with his tongue hanging as he ran. Every ragged breath felt like a claw dragging along his throat. His legs burned, shaking with exhaustion, but he forced himself to keep running. The group was already being considerate of his pace, but he knew they wouldn’t be so understanding if he gave up. After what seemed like hours, the black wolf led the group to a stream. The cool water was heavenly against the young wolf’s aching feet, and even more refreshing when it quenched his thirst. The sun was just beginning to rise when they started their journey, but now it was shining high in the sky. Taking another drink, the young wolf observed his escorts. The synchrony of the wolves made him wonder if he stumbled onto a pack's land. His guards always complained about how difficult a Rogue's life was and how packs had it easy. There were also many conversations about invasions and how crossing a pack's border meant certa

~Tessa~ The night sky cast a moonlit shadow over the packhouse, illuminating Tessa's bedroom with a calm sense of tranquility. She slept peacefully beside Dainin, but her few hours of serenity didn't last long when a mind link from Zander woke her from a dead sleep. "We just received an alert of a trespasser crossing our border to the north. I'm taking some warriors with me to check it out. We may not return until this afternoon," he informed her. "Wonderful, let Cadence know when you're coming back. I want her to meet you halfway. Be careful," Tessa ordered, frustration filling her chest. Rogues rarely crossed her borders, but Zander recently discovered rumors were spreading that Blue Ridge was weak after the fight. Now it seemed some wolves were ready to test that theory. “Let them challenge us. They’ll quickly regret it,” her wolf growled. Yearning for a distraction, Tessa pressed against Dainin and gently blew over his mark. Excitement warmed her body when he began to stir.

~Tessa~ While Tessa was busy searching for any reports made about a possible missing pack member, a few hours passed. She knew something like this could have happened before she was even appointed Alpha. “Surely my father or John would have noticed,” she questions, but just thinking of that traitorous, vile man caused anger to erupt inside her. He wouldn't have cared if a pack member went missing, or worse, he could have been involved and covered it up. "Maybe this wolf heard something he wasn't supposed to,” her wolf wondered, knowing John was a man of secrecy. Guilt crept into Tessa’s mind as she thought about any possible way she could have stopped something like this from ever happening. "How many more members became victims of his schemes," she shamefully thought, fighting the bile that rose to her throat at the endless possibilities, but she failed and made a quick dash to the bathroom. As the contents of her stomach emptied into the toilet, pleasant sparks danced over her s

~Tessa~Ingrid was struck silent with fear as she stared into Tessa’s dark eyes. Tessa felt her struggling to breathe beneath the grip she held around her neck, but she didn’t care. With every silent second that passed, Tessa tightened her hold ever so slightly. “Let her go,” Sonia pleaded behind her. “Looks like Elijah’s gone soft,” her wolf growled knowing he was the only one who would have removed the cloth from her mouth. “Answer my question, or your mother dies,” Tessa growled, keeping her eyes locked with Ingrid’s, whose face resembled a cherry. “He wasn’t held prisoner with me. I had no idea he even existed, and I’m sure my mother would have mentioned him already if she knew they had someone from your pack,” Sonia defended her mother, but Tessa saw the truth in Ingrid’s eyes. The witch was completely aware. “Wrong answer,” Tessa sneered in Ingrid’s face, watching her eyes grow wide with fear before she fainted. “Damn it,” Tessa growled, releasing Ingrid from her grasp, an

~Tessa~ A few weeks passed, and Tessa still couldn’t believe her brother was alive. When it was time to transfer him to the hospital, a haunting voice rang through her mind. “Don’t leave me,” he begged, growing anxious as they approached the ambulance. "If only you knew just how much I wish I could take your place,” Tessa thought to herself as she gazed down at the weak wolf. The few pack members surrounding them matched Tessa's grim expression. “I’ll be right here,” she promised, resting her hand on his side as she climbed in beside him. Her heart broke from the way his body quaked with fear and she wondered if there was ever a time he wasn’t afraid since being taken. She was certain John had everything to do with his disappearance. Her throat constricted as she imagined the atrocities he went through at the hands of that monster and his Rogues. Tessa could feel herself begin to spiral until a sense of relief washed over her when Dainin joined them inside the rig. Tessa took his

*MATURE CONTENT* ~Dainin~ The sunset cast a bright orange glow over the grounds, ending training for the day. The intensity left Dainin’s muscles aching from their run, but it was exhilarating to see both packs push themselves to their limits. Tessa’s morals and patience was truly engrained in all of her warriors and their fortitude quickly rubbed off on his own pack members. They were motivated and excited to have a purpose and he was proud of their progress. Stretching his arms overhead, a chill of desire rushed through Dainin’s body. “It seems we caught someone’s attention,” his wolf purred, but Dainin forced himself to appear unbothered. He wanted Tessa to believe she was getting away with ogling over his body from afar, but once inside the packhouse, he became a blur, running through the halls. Reaching her office in record time, Dainin silently entered the room and found Tessa standing at the window with her hand caressing the slight swell of her stomach. The sight rekindle

~Milo~ Panic coursed through Milo’s body when he woke up to find himself surrounded by a group of strangers in blue uniforms and white coats. One was even drawing blood from his leg. "I'm done being poked and prodded for their sick experiments," he growled, shaking away the fear. In a fit of rage, he knocked people into walls with a growl he’s never heard himself make before. “She’s coming up,” someone called through the chaos from behind him as bodies moved to block the exit and windows. He paced the room, contemplating his next move when the woman with hazel eyes appeared in the doorway. “Milo,” she called softly, causing something to stir within him. He froze and met her eyes. “Remember what I told you? You’re safe now, and we’re here to help you recover,” she encouraged, slowly approaching him while the others stepped away. An ache in his mind encouraged him to believe her as he quickly recalled what happened in the prison. Narrowing his eyes at the people in lab coats, Milo

-Warning: Graphic Descriptions- ~Tessa~ As Tessa stepped out of Milo’s hospital room, she was met by a very concerned-looking Leah. “Is everything okay,” Leah asked, glancing between Tessa and the closed door behind her. Tessa raised a brow, noticing the way Leah was shifting anxiously on her feet. “It will be. My brother has been through a lot, but he will be okay,” Tessa assured her with the same encouraging smile she showed Milo. Leah nodded with a sigh of relief and took her post outside of his room. Tessa smirked at Leah before walking the halls of the hospital with her head held high, but the further she went the more she felt her walls were beginning to crumble. Her thoughts repeated the findings of Milo’s first medical assessment today and replayed his first treatment after he was under. The severity of his condition overshadowed the joy she felt about him being alive, especially as Tessa watched the doctor reset his bones. The x-rays were showing mangled breaks, which the

~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
