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: EighteenAURORA'S POV “What are you doing here?" I asked, pressing my legs together to keep from running towards him. “How did you find me?" I asked again like I didn't feel him rummaging through my mind. I felt it the moment he entered. I wanted to run but I couldn't bring myself to. As much as I didn't want to admit it to myself, I wanted—no, I needed to see him. I looked him over. He looked tired. He had grown a stubble. Even with that he looked amazing. It had me wondering how he'd look with a beard but I quickly stopped myself before I let my mind wonder too far. “So you're not going to say anything?" I asked again, finding myself getting lost in his green eyes. I closed my eyes. I didn't understand how I could be mad and wary about someone but still want nothing more than for him to wrap his arms around me and never let me go. I had to admit, while I was here at this motel, I had done some research online about werewolves and about mates. I felt like Bella Swan when she found out

Chapter: SeventeenJARED'S POV I let the sound of the clock ticking away attempt to distract me from my thoughts. Spoiler alert, it wasn't working. No matter how much I tried, my mind was consumed with thoughts of her. It had been two days and it had been complete radio silence for those two days. I don't know what I expected but it definitely wasn't this. I was hoping that she would take a moment to realize that I wasn't deliberately trying to keep her in the dark and that she'd eventually come back here, to me. Clearly, that wasn't the case. A knock sounded on the door to my office. I had taken to hiding out here. My room smelled too much like her and there, I was tortured by memories of her so I had been in the office the last two days. She didn't really come to the office so I was able to breathe a little better here though it didn't make much difference. I wanted to ignore the knock. I wasn't in the mood for visitors. I wasn't in the mood for anything besides Aurora but despite my instincts t

Chapter: SixteenAURORA'S POV I ran to my room, my eyes blurry with tears, that I didn't even notice Rebecca coming towards me until I bumped into her. “Whoa, Rory, what's wrong?" she asked, holding her arms out to steady me. I couldn't even respond to her and I just made my way past her and entered the room. I took a duffel bag and packed a couple clothes, shoes and essentials. I didn't think I could stay there. I needed to go see Finn. I was about to leave when I remembered I wasn't wearing pants then I threw on a pair of shorts and threw my hair up in a messy bun. I wore my sneakers and then I headed out. As I walked, my mind was anything but quiet. I didn't want to but I thought about everything Jared said. I wanted to call him crazy and say he was lying. But deep down in my heart, I could feel that he wasn't lying. In the last few months, I had noticed something was different about me but I chose to ignore it because it didn't make sense. How could I explain that all my life, I had been s

Chapter: FifteenJARED'S POVI was filled with a mix of emotions. A part of me was filled with anticipation. After all, this is what I'd always wanted; to share who I am with my mate and finally have no more secrets between us. However, I'd be lying if I didn't say I was also filled with dread. And fear— a raging fear that my mate was going to look at me with horror and instead of seeing me for who I am, she sees a monster and runs away faster than I can stop her. I don't think I'd be able to function properly if that happened. I'd like to believe I would be mature and leave her alone and hope she would find her way back to me but deep down, I know I would follow her around like a lovesick pup, begging for her to accept me. I sighed deeply. This was not going to be easy. “I'm waiting Jared," Aurora said, eyes confused, arms folded as she tapped her foot anxiously. Even now, she still looked breathtaking. Something told me after learning the truth, it would be a while before she let me hold her ag

Chapter: FourteenAURORA'S POV “Canon ball!" someone yelled beside me as they jumped into the pool. I didn't move away fast enough and just as I was about to get splashed, I felt strong arms around my waist pull me back. “Careful now, you were in the splash zone," Jared said as he kissed my temple. I smiled at him. “How did you even get here so fast?" I asked. “My little secret," he said playfully bopping my nose. “You seem to have a lot of those," I whispered under my breath. Jared and I were at a pool party hosted by a popular frat house on campus. I was dressed in a bikini with a sarong around my waist and Jared was dressed in some trunks and a floral shirt he left unbuttoned. I remember when we were leaving the house and I saw his tattoos. I was mesmerized. It hadn't hit me until then that I had only seen him in long sleeved shirts or jackets. I was in awe. I had always thought Jared looked like a greek god but something about a man in tattoos does things to me. “My eyes are up here baby

Chapter: ThirteenALPHA GREGORY'S POVA month agoI was in my office pacing as I ran my hands through my hair in frustration. It had been 19 years—19 years since I had been searching for the healer and I still had no clue where to find her or if she was even alive. Somehow, I know she was. I just didn't think it would be this hard. I took a deep breath to calm myself as I could feel the anger bubbling up. Anger wasn't going to solve anything. I let my mind wander and I thought of what this healer would look like. I planned to take her as my mate when I found her. Nothing would solidify me as alpha more than having a healer mate. I was already one of the strongest alphas on this side of the world, having a healer for a mate would put me on the map for the whole world. I needed to be patient. I was 125 years old and if I had waited this long to find a mate, what would a couple more years be?Call it a gut feeling, but something told me told me I wouldn't have to wait for much longer. “Martha, bring
