All Chapters of Reclaimed by the Alpha: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

“This is madness...” Alexei muttered while we were waiting at the top of the mountain, agitated still. His tone was nothing like I had heard before, making me wonder whether I was imagining things because he surprisingly looked concerned. “That omega wouldn't stand a chance to Leonid. You may have defeated him in a spar but there’s no guarantee that omega will succeed like you.” “That omega has a name,” I assented before shooting him a sharp gaze. “And why must you think so negatively? Is it because she’s female? Or is it because she's an omega? As the Alpha of this pack, do you even know every name of your omegas here in the Triton?” “It’s because she’s a member of this pack and if she were to die in the race, we are both screwed,” he snapped, his eyes shaking in anger, for a second, I thought he would lay a hand on me when he slightly flinched. But then he retracted with a huff. “Screwed not just here in Triton but to the whole North. Being an Alpha requires a lot of things you wou

“How am I supposed to do that?” I roared in frustration, slapping the water from the bathtub and spilling the bubble that was covering my body. I don't know how long I have been soaking in the bathtub ever since I got inside the bathroom to ponder a solution. Even now, I can't find a way to solve what dilemma we will have to face tomorrow. I had forgotten that as the Luna of the pack, it was my duty to secure him an heir. But I don't want to be like other Lunas who would do as they are told. That was the exact opposite of what I wanted to do in Triton and everybody knows that. What they didn't know was this facade of ours, what we are showing to others in public was a mere agreement, and consummating the copulation is no part of that. No consummating means no heir. I sighed and held my head low, closing my eyes to calm myself because I was beginning to lose my nerve. I took my time to succumb in peace until the bathroom door opened and presented me with the naked Alexei, who was sur

“Lie. You are lying to me,” Alexei said, his voice dropping into a whisper of obstinacy. “Tell me you are only lying to me, sister...”Alexia remained silent so I took it as my chance to dress Alexei with the robe I brought. He didn't stop me so I was able to cover his body and mine before Alexia swung over to face us. The silence was so daunting, the only sound I could hear was the howling of the wind and the way it caressed the trees, causing the withered leaves to descend on the ground like they are destined to.“Why must I lie to you when I know full well what happened a year ago was my own mistake?” Alexia inquired, crossing her arms and never taking her eyes off of her mother’s grave. “I insisted on coming to the Canidae Union as the second in line heir instead of father. After the party, I got drunk and I was located by my fated mate. I accepted my mate’s claim in possession of alcohol and I was marked that night without knowing who he was, his rank, and from where region he wa

Alexei’s embrace was so abrupt and unnecessary, it made me think about a possible assassination in regard to opposing his decision. Should I not be worried? Is Alexei hiding a knife in his hand, ready to sever my side so I would die painfully? Or perhaps slit my throat? I couldn't help but be wary of his approach, since I had thought about doing it to him many times. As wicked as Alexei, I’m certain he could do that to me. I cannot be complacent. When Alexei tightened his embrace, I pushed him off and slammed him on the wall. He groaned and I took his invulnerability to search his hands. He had nothing in his hands. I glanced at my boots to check for my hunting knife and it was there. “Please... I’m not in the mood to kill you,” he said with a sad smile. “Besides, all four of them know and would suspect that I did it so not today. I just want a hug.” Wincing, I looked at Alexei in guilt and slowly drew my body towards him, giving him the embrace he desired since he sounded so sincer

“What’s wrong?” Alexia asked when she stood beside me. I was so focused on Alexei and Aena, I failed to notice that she followed me to the hall. When I remained silent, she followed the direction where my eyes were settled. “Oh, who is that? That’s odd. I never recall my brother having female friends.” If I was surprised and threatened to see Alexei having such a fun conversation with Aena, hearing that information from Alexia herself suddenly irritated me in a way I never felt before. I don't know the reason why, but I do. I have never been insentient about my feelings so I always know when I’m happy, or glad, whether I’m in sorrow and most especially mad. And I was an ordinary shifter who had dislikes and seeing Alexei together with my twin sister was one of those. Watching them smiling together and incredibly comfortable with each other, it felt like my past had come back to me. Now I can't help recalling the things my sister could easily obtain in just a flip of her hair because
