All Chapters of Alpha, Not Luna: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

MegWhat is wrong with me? That question has been rattling around in my head for days. I stared out the window of our place back in our home. Not Jax’s house in White Mountain Valley but here where our regular lives were. Where I had my job- had because I had taken an indefinite leave of absence. But my rattled thoughts are refusing to leave me in peace. I can’t make sense of it. How I could have been so wanton with Soren in the forest, then turn around and be with Jax as if nothing had happened? The guilt gnaws at me, a constant, bitter reminder of what I’ve done. It’s as if I’m being torn in two different directions, each piece of my heart demanding something I can’t give fully to either of them. Soren and I share a bond that I can’t ignore, no matter how much I try. The pull between us is undeniable, even after all these years and all the pain. When I was with him in the forest, it was like everything else disappeared- my hurt, the anger, the confusion. As if it did not exist fo

Alpha SorenThe Omega House is quiet when we arrive. It’s late, and most of the omegas are either asleep or pretending to be. My heart is pounding in my chest as we approach the door, my mind racing with possibilities. What if she really is gone? What if Megan left me behind again? I can’t afford to think like that. Not yet. Will opens up the door and we enter. Gail is inside, sitting at the kitchen table with a cup, of tea I suppose, in front of her. She looks up, from the table, startled, when we go in, and I see the flicker of fear in her eyes. It’s not surprising. I’m on edge, and she can probably sense it from a mile away. “Alpha Soren, Beta,” she says, her voice trembling slightly as she rises to her feet, lowering her head. She’s young, barely out of her teenage years, and I can tell she’s nervous. I need to tread carefully, but there’s no time to waste. “What- ha- why are you here?” “Gail,” I say, trying to keep my voice steady. I’m su

JaxIt’s been almost a month since we should have gone back to White Mountain Valley, but I kept pushing it off. Meg needed more time, and honestly, so did I. This wasn’t just about going back to the pack; it was about reintroducing Mackenzie to Soren- this time as his daughter. I knew it would be a bombshell, one that would change everything, and Meg wasn’t ready to face that on her own. She said she couldn’t do it without me, and I couldn’t leave her to handle it alone. Meg had been acting different these past few weeks. Clingy, maybe a little sad too. It was like she could feel the pull of the mate bond with Soren growing stronger as we got closer to the day we’d have to go back. I hated seeing her like this, torn between two men, and I hated even more that she thought I was trying to push her back to him. It wasn’t true, but the mate bond is a powerful thing, and it was eating at her, making her question everything. One night, just over a week ago, she broke down. We were sittin

Little MackenzieI like the park. It’s big, with lots of grass and trees, and I can run so fast! I can hear the birds singing in the trees and the wind whooshing past my ears when I run. Today, I'm playing with the other kids from the wolf pack. My shoes get all muddy, but Mummy says it’s okay because they’re just shoes. There’s this boy named Benjamin, and he’s kind of fun. He’s got a funny laugh that makes me giggle, and we run around and around until we fall into the grass, all out of breath. Beth, his mom, says I should be nice to him because we’re gonna be friends forever. I wonder if that means we’ll get married one day. Maybe. Mummy says she and Uncle Jax grew up together here, just like me and Benjamin. They were friends when they were small, and now they’re big and still friends. So, maybe I’ll marry Benjamin when we’re big, but only if he stops pulling my hair. Maybe I’ll just have him as my boyfriend. Gross. There’s a lot of people at the park today, grown-ups too. I l

Alpha SorenThe delta’s child tugged on my sleeve bringing me out of my shock mode and I asked her who told her that while I scanned the fighters behind her, a deep frown setting up house, on my forehead. The pack was full of malicious wolves and I will punish them. Mocking me as alpha is forbidden. And they were poking fun at me because of my luna playing house with another man’s baby. I knew it was only a matter of time before word got out but I was hoping Meg would have seen reason and forgiven me before that happened. Thus, coming home to take her place in my bed. “Nobody silly. I ask you.” She points to me with her tiny finger. “Mummy said my daddy is strong and brave. She say he special.” She was cute in the way she spoke missing out words- and she just saved the usual pack gossipers from a cruel whipping. Officially introducing myself to her, I lowered myself to converse better with her throwing her head back, showing she was tired of looking up. Plus, the loud breath she
