All Chapters of Alpha Xavier's Relentless persuit of his Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

> I love winters. It’s the season of hot chocolate and warm fuzzy sweaters. But most of all, it’s the time of year when I go running in the freshly fallen snow, hoping to get my wolf any day now, because nights are longer than days in winter. I am Zoe Simmons, the daughter of an ex-beta of Silver Moon Pack. My father was a well-respected and trusted Beta of the pack in his time. When I turned sixteen, I expected to meet my amazing wolf, but to everyone’s surprise, she was a no-show. Ever since my mom had left us, Goddess knows why, my dad had been my sole support, my whole world. We did everything together. Everything I knew had been taught to me by my father, and I loved him for it. That day I got up after dawn, got ready, and went for a quick run in the woods that were close since our house was at the edge of the community. On the run, I saw some wolf paw prints and I longed for the day mine would be imprinted on the fresh snow like that too one day. I returned, show

>After my conversation with my father, I immediately went to look for John. Since he was the Beta, he was often at the Pack house’s office wing. I was hoping to find him there today as well.I entered his office without knocking and found him sitting in his big chair like he owned the world, a glass of champagne in his hands so early in the morning.“What’s the occasion for this early celebration?” I asked upset. Heartbreak was one thing, but he had also attacked my only family. This was not the man I had fallen in love with all those years ago.“Who allowed you to enter? You, like everyone else, need an appointment for a trip to the Beta’s office. You can’t just drop in like this!” John stood up, daring to act disrespectedly.“Why are you doing this?” I asked, unable to formulate anything else. My broken heart and frustration made it hard to focus on what I had wanted to say to him.“What am I doing?” He leaned on his large wooden table acting like he had no clue what

>Aunt Julie came sniffling in my room with a knock. I looked at her and felt my own emotions getting the better of me.We cried together as she kept worrying, “John is so heartless, he's so cruel! Your father supported him to become the next Beta, and now he is going to send your father to the dungeons. Your honest father getting locked up for years, maybe a lifetime!”It made me feel even worse. I sat up and wiped my tears angrily but more took their place immediately, “You know what, everyone in the pack knew that John was going to get engaged to another woman and not me. But they knew she belonged to a powerful background and let everything happen. They know my Dad is innocent. They have always respected him for his values and honor. But nobody said a word as John got Dad locked up for a fraud he didn’t commit.”“There has to be a way to save your father.” Aunt Julie said as she placed a comforting hand on mine, “Maybe there is something that John wants so he would spa

>I decided to clarify her confusion, before she became upset, “Sorry, that was my sister. I left her engagement to drop you off and didn’t return. She was looking for me.” I told her, hoping that she could catch my drift and not react badly. I had been looking forward to doing it with her tonight, “ Now, where were we?”“Sister? Alyssa is Alyssa Shaw?” She asked in disbelief.“Yes?” I replied, hoping in vain that it would not turn out to be a big deal, unsure of her reaction.It came quickly and swiftly.I had placed my hands on her waist and was about to dive in when she pushed me away.It was not harsh, she was surprisingly not as strong as a wolf of her age should be. Now that I think about it, Spike had mentioned not feeling her wolf at all. As an Alpha, Spike could sense the wolves of other people, even if they didn’t belong to my pack. I didn’t have time to focus on that part as I heard her decide.“I, I can’t do this right now. I’m, not ready yet.” It should n

>I stood in the snowfall, numb and hopeless, before my legs started to lose feeling due to the cold and I rushed to get inside.I twisted the key in the keyhole with trembling hands, and not only because of the cold.I walked in to find a swollen-teary-eyed, Aunt Julie blowing her nose in a tissue before sobbing more.“Oh, Goddess! What happened? Was John here? Did he say something? I promise you he will pay for every crime he is committing against my family. Did he do something to you?” I threw questions at her in panic. If he was not ashamed of acting cruel towards me and my Dad who had loved him like a son, what was preventing him from disrespecting Aunt Julie?“Slow down, Zoe.” She pulled me gently to sit beside her.“Please, Aunt Julie, tell me, who made you feel like this?” I needed to know why she was in such a mess. Usually, she was the one to help me and hold me when I had my bad days.“It’s just, that I feel disappointed regarding your father’s case. He might b
