HEART OF THE ALPHA
Aurora Santos enters college believing her life will remain small and ordinary. Raised in an orphanage, her world revolves around classes, late nights, and the quiet hope that the boy she once loved might finally notice her. Everything changes when she meets Jared Grey.
At twenty-one, Jared is the youngest alpha in history—charming, reckless, and dangerously magnetic. College was never meant to be more than a brief stop for him, but Aurora’s presence awakens something neither of them expected. Drawn to Jared by an inexplicable pull, Aurora begins to uncover a truth that shatters everything she thought she knew: she is not human, and her past is tangled in secrets far older and darker than she imagined.
As Aurora is pulled into a hidden world of packs, loyalty, and ancient bonds, she must decide where she truly belongs. Jared, too, must learn that being an alpha means more than power—it means knowing who is worth protecting at all costs.
But just as they begin to envision a future together, another alpha emerges. Gregory is powerful, calculating, and unnervingly interested in Aurora. His arrival threatens the fragile balance Jared fights to protect and forces long-buried truths about Aurora’s past to the surface.
Because some bonds are written by fate.
And once awakened, they cannot be denied—especially when darkness is determined to claim her.

Chapter: Twenty-FourREBECCA'S POV I tried to listen, I really did. But it is so hard to focus on something as mundane as class when you have something more serious like the fate of your pack on the line. The seat beside me was unoccupied by its usual resident and instead, a random human guy sat beside me. After ignoring his first couple attempts at flirting with me, he had decided to pay attention to the lecture. He's cute and if he had caught me at a better time, maybe I wouldn't have outright pretended he didn't exist. The last two weeks had been like a bad nightmare that I keep hoping to wake up from but hadn't yet. Not only had Aurora completely cut ties with Jared and our pack but she cut ties with me as well. She had even done a good job of avoiding this class that we share together. Not only did I miss her, I was worried about her. I saw how this separation or breakup was affecting my brother. Jared had been angry and moody ever since and the entire pack had learnt to walk on eggshells aroun

Chapter: Twenty-ThreeFINN'S POVIt had been two weeks since Aurora ended things with Jared and his pack; two weeks since our little pack of just the two of us got restored and yet I didn't feel happy. Maybe it was watching my best friend be miserable but still trying to keep up appearances for me. Maybe it was watching her wither away everyday but still greet with me with a smile I could see didn't reach her eyes. Or maybe it was the guilt I felt for the part I played in all of this, either way, the joy I had been anticipating when Aurora kicked those wolves to the curb was nowhere to be found. Aurora couldn't stay with me so she had moved back in to her dorm with her roommate that she hated. As the days went, I thought she would get over Jared and her time at the house but clearly that wasn't going to happen, at least not as quickly as I thought.I wish I could rewind time and stop them from meeting, that way she wouldn't be this upset. We were currently on our way to class when Rory stopped in her

Chapter: Twenty-TwoAURORA'S POVMy entire body was shaking as I turned away from Jared. I stood in disbelief at what had just happened and I still couldn't believe I said those words to him. I didn't stop to think, I just ran back to Finn's dorm, deciding not to think how it looked to people. When I got there, I stood outside his door catching my breath. My chest hurt. It felt like someone was stomping on my heart with Louboutin so Kates and I found it so hard to breath. It took me a while to get my bearings before I opened the door and walked in. Finn was where I left him, on his bed asleep. I watched him, my heart aching for him. I couldn't believe someone I loved would be capable of doing this to someone I cared about. “You're back," Finn said, startling me. “I thought you were asleep," I responded. “I was. But wolves have excellent hearing. I heard you the minute you were outside."I moved to sit beside him on the bed. “Where did you go?"“To confront Jared."His eyes widened in surprise.

Chapter: Twenty-OneJARED'S POV My class just ended and I made small talk with a few of my friends before heading to my car. Immediately, I sat down, my phone rang. “Hey sis," I said in greeting. “She's back Jare!!" my sister squealed. I could practically hear her bouncing in excitement and I completely shared her sentiment. I didn't even realise when I heaved a sigh of relief. I knew she'd be back but I can't pretend like a part of me wasn't afraid that she wouldn't choose me. “Is she in the house?" I asked. “No. She went to make up with Finn first but don't fret. She's on her way."“Right," I responded, trying not to feel hurt that my mate chose to make up with another guy before she made up with me. I try not to be jealous and act like a possessive caveman but it's hard especially knowing how she used to feel about Finn. Nevertheless, I had to be patient. If I went over to his place like I wanted, it probably wouldn't go well so I decided to just wait for her at the house. “Jared, are you th

Chapter: TwentyAURORA'S POVMy eyes opened and I expected to be hit by bright rays of sunlight but I was pleasantly surprised to find that everywhere was dim. A pounding headache was the first thing that greeted me. My dry throat told me that I was thirsty but I wasn't ready to get out of bed yet. As it turns out, I didn't need to as there was a bottle of water on the night stand next to me.I grabbed it and saw a folded note under it. As I drank the water, I read the note. Sunshine, I had to leave because I have a test today that I cannot miss. Please don't run away again. You really had me worried. I left you some water and some Advil for the hangover you probably have and I dropped your curtains so the glare from the sun wouldn't add to your headache. Please come back home. Forever yours, Jared.I couldn't help the smile that appeared on my face as I read it. I took the medicine and lay back down, letting the memories of yesterday wash over me. After my meeting with Greg, I wasn't ready to go

Chapter: NineteenJARED'S POV I felt it when the walls came down in Aurora's head. It was so sudden and unexpected that I almost stumbled out of my seat. I was surprised. How did she learn to do that so quickly? I was also impressed. She might deny it but she clearly was already taking to her wolf side. I had to resist the urge to push back against her defenses. I mean, I understood why. She was mad at me and I guess she wanted to feel alone in her own head. As much as that hurt my feelings, I got it and I would never begrudge her her privacy so I sucked it up and I let her be. I waited on information from Tate about the strange wolves but so far nothing. Man, I was too young to be going through this level of stress. I chuckled to myself when I thought about how typically mates were supposed to help ease your stress but mine was adding to it. I smiled knowing I wouldn't have her any other way. At some point, I called Rebecca to bring my car so I would wait there instead of by the trees like a cr
