All Chapters of Tango with the Alpha's Heart: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Alexander POV "Alpha!" One of the border patrol guards mind-linked. "We have picked up an unknown scent crossing the border." "How many?" I asked, dropping my pen on my desk. I was working through the pack report. "Only one, Alpha," he replied, sounding worried. "That's odd," Ghost said. "The rogues usually attack in numbers." "I know," I said, finding the situation confusing. "Maybe they have sent only one rogue to create a diversion." "We need to sound the alarm and have every warrior ready to protect the pack," Ghost said, and started pacing up and down my mind, ready to rip anyone who dared cross our boundary to pieces. "Agreed!" I growled. In the last four years, the pack has suffered the loss of over thirty pack members due to rogue attacks; none of their bodies were recovered. That made me believe that the rogues might have taken them hostage for some odd reason. "Sound the alarm and get all the women and children to the safe house," I ordered. "I don't want any casua

Emily's POVThe beeping sound of the heart monitor was driving me insane, and Alex had been unconscious for almost eighteen hours. I was pacing up and down like a mad woman, worried that something serious was wrong with Alex."How is he?" Luke asked, entering the infirmary room. He was running the pack in Alex's absence.It spread like wildfire that Alex was in the hospital, and before long, his room spilled over with flowers and get-well-soon cards.The pack members loved him, and it made me so proud, but that didn't calm my nerves. He lay way too still for my liking on the hospital bed, and even his scent had lost its intoxication."The doctor says that Alex will wake up soon," I replied, yet I didn't believe a word I had just uttered. "His body is just taking the needed rest to heal himself.""Mmm," Luke said, pulling a sour face. "Alpha hasn't slept much the last couple of weeks. It is expected that he will take the needed rest."I flinched upon hearing the hidden messages behind

Emily's POVI couldn't help but stare at Alex's peaceful face while he was sleeping. He was so handsome under the dim hospital light.My gaze started to trace every line of his handsome features, memorizing every line of his perfectly crafted face.My gaze landed on his full, kissable lips, and my hand unwillingly moved to my own, feeling my face heat as I recalled how his mouth made love to me."What's wrong with me?" I suddenly growled under my breath. "I can't do this!"Yet I couldn't drag my gaze away from his sleeping features.Everything inside me called me toward him, and my body happily complied with the silent call.I closed my eyes just for a bare second, yet memories flashed before my eyes, reminding me of his tender and warm touch.Alex was so careful-Was it wrong of me to want to spend some time with my fated mate?Would I hurt him if I learned to know him and then left?Will that make me a bad person?I had this need, deep inside me, to touch him, even when my mind scre

Emily's POVI found a blue pair of jeans, a white shirt, and some underwear, and made my way to the bathroom.There was already a soft, fluffy white towel set out for me on the sink, along with a hairbrush and other necessities.I picked up the soap, noticing that it was my favorite flavor."How did he know that?" I gasped, amazed.I shook my head in wonder. "It must be a coincidence."Yet, everything else was spot on."Maybe you left some clues in your room," Willow said, explaining."Maybe," I said, opening the shower taps and waiting for the water to run warm before getting in.It didn’t take me long to freshen up; I wasn't someone who enjoyed long baths and showers.I dried off, got dressed, wrapped the towel around my head, and went to the bathroom."Finally!" Mila's voice startled me, and I froze wide-eyed. I wasn't expecting her to be there."Dammit, Mila!" I growled when I got to my senses. "Why do you always sneak up on me like that?""Why do you always disappear and not tell

Alexander POVIt was hard for me to not stare at Emily. I was in awe; she was so beautiful and strong, and she was mine!Breakfast went down smoothly, and at least I didn't make a fool out of myself. It was difficult to keep my cool and not to openly drool.Everything about Emily had me compelled. Her scent was like a siren calling me with a silent melody I could only hear; her beautiful, full, rosy lips were memorizing, and I constantly drowned in her serious ocean-blue eyes.I stole glances every now and again, taking mental pictures.I couldn't help tracing her beautiful face inside my mind. She didn't have a clue how much I struggled not to be able to touch her. I burned at the need to hold her in my arms and bury myself inside of her.Ghost purred in my mind—he was happy to be close to our mate, and he couldn’t wait for Emily to show her wolf.Yet Ghost was constantly trying to link up with Emily's wolf, and the more he tried, the more frustrated he became."She refuses to remove
