All Chapters of Payment To the Alpha: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

~Amber~ Avery walked into the dining room with Lydia by her side. Her body seemed relaxed but she held something in her eyes, she looked angry, and worried as her eyes scanned the surroundings. When her eyes landed on me, she smiled softly and came up to us. She took her seat next to James and continued eating. ”Everything alright?” My brother asked his mate as he placed a kiss on her head. ”Everything is fine, Lydia just wanted to see if we needed any help with the ceremony, but I told her me and Amber had it covered.” Avery said and winked at me. All the planning started to resume in my head from that comment as the color pallets and decorations were set in place in my imagination. ”We could use some help with the decorations,” I said and looked at Lydia. She was Avery's best friend and I knew she wanted to help. ”The more the merrier,” Avery said with a wide smile. ”Great, have you thought of a dress?” Lydia asked giddily. Avery opened her mouth to answer but was inte

James stepped out and harshly slammed the door behind him. His chest was heaving, his body was rigid and he had grown to his fullest height. We all flew to our feet, covering ourselves up as two others jumped out. It was Alex and Jason. James growled and the guys looked away. I could see the rumbling of Alex’s shoulders from the hidden laughter. James came up to me, his stance was predatory and intimidating as he handed me the clothes. ”Put them on. Now.” I did as instructed and I don't believe I've ever gotten dressed so quickly before. I turned around and saw that Lydia and Amber were dressed too. I gave James a cheeky smile and an innocent glare as I stood there, rooted to my spot. He didn't look amused, if anything, he was about to shift and wreak havoc upon the woods. I placed my hand gently on his chest. James gripped my wrist the second it touched him and pulled me to him, making me slam into his front. ”Did anyone see you?” He asked me in a low growl. I shook my head

"Your family is there too, apparently when Crow was done with them, they joined the Celestial Pack," "Jasmine," She breathed. "No, your sister is with your brother, they sent her away," I saw how Avery's shoulders slumped and she relaxed knowing her little sister was safe. "That's good," The girls were in James’s office, talking to him and the Beta. I said that I'd rather stay in Avery's room as I needed the rest. Being away from my home and close to Amber had brought on a sense of relief and wholeness I didn't know I needed. It also made me exhausted and wanting to catch up on the sleep I had been deprived of. As I laid in Avery's bed, I quickly drifted off to sleep, much faster than I ever had before. I had taken a shower and got dressed in some clothes that my cousin had given me. I brushed my hair and took a long look in the mirror, barely recognizing the girl staring back at me. I sighed heavily before walking out of the room and down to the dining hall. ”Cousin, p

It was unlike anything I had ever seen before. Whereas most werewolves' eyes turn yellow upon turning or when their wolves are in control, Malias were neon green. Xena braced herself, parting her legs and bowing slightly. She was standing in a fighting stance to make sure nothing happened. Malia shifted, she turned into a beautiful dark-grey wolf with white paws. She wasn't much smaller than me. Her wolf started tossing its head back and forth, it looked like they were fighting for control. I looked at Lydia and she walked up to Malias wolf. ”Malia, you need to stop fighting your wolf, you must trust her,” Lydia said. Soon enough her wolf relaxed and her head went down. When it came back up, her eyes were glowing again. ”Good, now, what do you want to do?” Lydia asked her playfully. Malias wolf looked to have, for the first time, gained complete control over herself. She started patting her paws in place and bent forward, indicating she wanted to play. I laughed inter

~Malia~ James, Alex, Lydia, and I were sitting in the common area. Nobody else was there and we weren't doing anything particular. In fact, everyone sat in silence. The air around us was heavy, thick, and tense. I wanted to speak up but I knew that James was pissed about the events that occurred out in the woods. Both with the rogues but also my impromptu shifting and almost killing his mate. I waited. I sat there, completely still in my spot. The air grew thicker and I knew it was only a matter of time before I opened my mouth. I wanted him to go first. I didn't want to disrespect him. ”You can speak, you know,” my rampage of thoughts broke as James spoke. I shifted my gaze, looking at everyone else. I let out a heavy sigh and straightened my back. ”I’m sorry, alpha,” I said and cast down my eyes. ”For?” ”For shifting and for almost…” I looked up, meeting his gaze and bit the inside of my cheek. ”Hurting your mate.” I finished. ”My mate is the Luna of this pack. And fr
