All Chapters of Alpha Picked: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

*** Helen ***As I wait at the side of the road in my broken-down car, panic rises in my chest. My stomach turns and churns and the tension band is back, right around my head. I just called my breakdown recovery provider to come and rescue me only to find out that my husband, Alan, has cancelled our subscription without telling me.I have called him at least six times now and it rings and rings before going to voicemail. My texts also go unanswered, and my panic is growing because Summer, my two-year-old daughter, is waiting for me to collect her from her daycare.I have no one else to turn to so I call my boss and close friend Halle and ask her to collect Summer for me even though I feel terrible asking yet again for her help.I call for help from the SOS public phone box and wait the compulsory sixty minutes for them to tow my car.The mechanic eyes me suspiciously. "How are you getting home, Miss?""I will call a cab now; I will be fine."But he shakes his head. "No, no way, my mate

*** Manzitti ***Slayne and Ivan have not been back to my apartment, and I do not know whether to be even more annoyed than I was or relieved that at least I will not have to listen to them frolicking. I just feel so restless and agitated tonight and my wolf, Roman, is also on edge. What’s wrong, boy? I ask him but he is confused and cannot answer me. I have several car showrooms. For the last five years we have been expanding into the human territory and I am due to visit one of the newer ones today. Once I am showered and dressed, I wait for Beta Ivan to come for the morning meeting before making my way to the car showroom. Hopefully, I will be done there by 10.30am. Beta Ivan does not turn up and I mindlink him and Slayne and tell them to get into my office and my sister has the gall to growl at me. Kind of busy here Aidy, we are pulling sickies until my heat is done. I know she is trying to punish me for hitting Ivan yesterday and in the cold light of day I know I am being unreas

*** Helen *** As I drive along in my new car, I feel like things are looking up, I feel lighter, more confident and it gives me a new determination to get my affairs in order. I want Alan out of my life. I do not want to live like this anymore and I am not tolerating him coming into my house whenever the fancy takes him when he is sleeping with someone else. I have tried desperately to give him a chance to be in Summer’s life but he is not interested. He has made it clear since the day I found out I was pregnant that he does not want to be a father. I thought once Summer was here, he would change his attitude, but everything was so sour between us, he didn’t even try to love her. I know I have pushed this because of my own lack of father growing up. I have tried and tried to get Alan to accept our daughter, but enough is enough. How could he not even love his own flesh and blood? I suppose his reaction to me being pregnant in the first place should have warned me that this was not

*** Aivi ***My time to prove myself has come.My Alpha has identified his Luna, his fated mate, and I am going to bring them together. I overheard the Alpha on the phone saying that his mate finishes work at 6pm so I am going to retrieve her. I know my Alpha will be thankful to have this sorted out with very little trouble, so I have decided to take this off his hands.I know they see me as some stupid kid, they don’t see me as their equal, but I am determined to prove I deserve my place among the elite and by capturing my Luna I am so sure they will see that too.I recruit a couple of my Gamma Guard to help me and we take one of the pack vans with us. I tell the guys she is human, and we cannot give away that we are werewolves.My plan is to get her to the cells and explain to her that she must accept my boss as her new lover and then I can release her. As we sit in wait for our future Luna to come out, I visualise the awards and accolades I will get as a reward for delivering the

*** Alan ***Helen is taking the piss big time. After I finish fucking Mel, I head for a shower and start to change into my shirt and suit. Now I know Halle Morales has some goons looking out for me in town, I am having to go out of town to go to the casino.Mel brings me the shirt she had ironed for me and as I put my arms into the sleeves, my phone starts to ring. It is an unknown number.“Hello, is that Mr Jefferson? This is Sunny Days Daycare. Helen hasn’t come to collect Summer and she is not answering her calls, could you please come and collect her? We closed over an hour ago and it’s not like Helen to be late.”Am I hearing right? “Erm, no, I can’t. Why are you calling me?” I ask incredulously.The line goes quiet. “I am sorry, Mr Jefferson, this is Summer's father, right?”“No. No it's not, so I suggest you call Helen back and tell her she looks after her kid or she can go to child services. Do not phone this number again. That kid has nothing to do with me.” I cut the call
