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: TwelveJARED'S POV “Jared help me," Aurora cried out. She looked terrified but she was so far away. The more I tried to get close to her, the farther she was moving. “I'm coming!!" I yelled out, determined to make it to her even though it felt like everything was determined to keep us apart. Just then a tall shadowy creature appeared in front of her. Aurora seemed like she was in a daze as she walked towards it. I started panicking and trying to increase my pace to her but it wasn't working.“Aurora stop!" I yelled but it didn't look like she heard me. I watched as my mate walked into the clutches of the shadow creature and then I watched her scream, while I stood frozen in terror unable to help her. Just then, I woke up. I was sweaty and panting heavily. I stood up and wiped the sweat off my face, sighing heavily. It had been two weeks since Aurora moved into the pack mansion and I had been having this same recurring nightmare every night with no idea what it meant. I knew it was tr

Chapter: ElevenAURORA'S POV “Here you go, one black coffee no sugar and one jelly donut," I said handing out the order to the customer. He thanked me and left. Man, I can't believe it's been over a month since I started college and a lot has happened. True to his word, Jared did help me speak with the owner of the cafe and I've been working here for about three weeks now. The pay is ridiculously high and somehow I suspect Jared has something to do with that but I'm not exactly complaining. My boss is nice and we've become friends. I looked at my phone. I had five minutes left till my shift was over. Rebecca was coming to pick me up so we could get our nails done. I took off my apron and hat and said goodbye to Terry. Just as I was leaving, Rebecca walked in. “Hey Terry," she greeted. She greeted some of the other staff as well. I learned very quickly at the start of my job that she was also very close with the staff. It was kind of like they were family. I hugged her and we walked outside a

Chapter: TenJARED'S POV I laced up my shoes and then I ran my hands through my hair as I was getting ready for my date with Aurora. Honestly, after what happened yesterday, I was just glad she still wanted to go with me. After Rebecca got home and told me what happened, I was furious. I tried to go looking for those wolves but as Rebecca mentioned, I didn't know what they looked like. I don't think I had ever been so angry. How dare those wolves come into my territory and try to terrorize me and mine? Harassing any wolf in my territory, no matter their relationship to me is always going to count as harassment to me. I hope for their sakes they're long gone because if I get a whiff of them, they forfeit their lives. I put wolves all around the perimeter of the school and the town. They're on the lookout for them. Rebecca gave the description. I tried to not think about that now. I was going to be hanging out with Aurora and I was excited. I hope she was as excited although I didn't see how t

Chapter: NineAURORA'S POVI took a look in the mirror, admiring myself. I was dressed in a polka dot halter neck crop top and matching Capri set. On my feet were a cute pair of open toed heels. I wondered whether to wear my hair up or down. The door opened and Chris walked in. I had to refrain from rolling my eyes. When I started college, I anticipated bonding with my roommates and being besties with them. Chris, however, made that very difficult. She always had boys in the room either smoking or having sex or sometimes she had all kinds of sketchy people over. As someone who grew up in orphanages and group homes, I had my fair share of sketchy people and I wasn't trying to go back. “You look nice," she said, “you've got a date?"“Thank you," I responded, “and no. I'm meeting a friend."Chris nodded and landed on her bed, face first. I went back to looking at myself and finally decided to put my hair in a messy bun, leaving strands out to frame my face. It took a few days but Rebecca and I fi

Chapter: EightJARED'S POV I sat in my room, my laptop on my desk as I attempted to get started on my now piling mountain of homework and essays due. You'd think that being in my third year, I would have less homework but that's not the case. Anyway, technically, my homework wouldn't be piling up if I hadn't neglected it to research Rory. Ever since Albert mentioned the possibility of her being a dormant, him and I had been trying to do research to find out her origins. So far, we had been as lucky as someone attempting to find a needle in a haystack. It didn't help that all I knew about her was her name. I didn't know her last name and unfortunately, neither did Rebecca. We had no luck and it was annoying. I didn't want to text her and ask what her last name was, I felt it would be weird. She would know I was researching her and I didn't want to freak her out and have her running for the hills thinking she's met a creep. I turned back to my computer. Why did I have this much homework? We onl

Chapter: SevenAURORA'S POV“You should have seen him Finn," he was so hot," I said excitedly as I lay on Finn's bed in his dorm room. “Uh-uh," he replied non-committal as he typed away on his phone. It had been three days since I resumed college and apart from move-in day, this was the first time Finn and I were seeing each other face to face. He had been busy with classes and practice, that we hadn't really had time to see and debrief each other about our life updates. “He had eyes so green, they reminded me of emeralds," I said. “You have never seen emeralds Ror," he replied, still not looking at me. “I've seen videos and pictures Finn. Don't be mean. I know what emeralds look like," I scoffed in reply. He gave another non-committal shrug as he still wouldn't look at me. In annoyance, I threw a pillow at him which he aptly dodged. I hated how his reflexes were so good. He wasn't even paying attention yet he still avoided the projectile and it had always been like this with him. “Finn Dav
