Alpha's One Night Bride #Chapter 13 – Dinner Party
I couldn’t hide my anger. I was angry at the fact that he was being so secretive about this Dorie person. When I entered his office earlier that day, he was on the phone with her but then hung up once I showed up. Now at Onyxfang, he comes face to face with her and he blocks me from their link so I couldn’t hear their conversation.The more I thought about it the angrier it made me. However, I knew he was also angry, and I didn’t want to make things worse.“How could you go to Onyxfang alone?” He barked as soon as we got back home. “I told you, it was for work,” I muttered. “How did you even know I was there?” “It’s not important,” Jonathan shot back.“Were you spying on me?” I asked, disbelief in my tone.“I’m trying to protect you, Arina,” Jonathan argued.“I didn’t think you had to spy on me to protect me,” I told him, folding my arms across my chest. “Do you not trust me?”“It has nothing to do with trust. If I wasn’t there, do you know what Dorie would have done?” He asked. His
Alpha's One Night Bride #Chapter 14 Honeymoon
The moon festival had finally arrived and as promised, Jonathan and I were finally able to enjoy our honeymoon. I hadn’t brought up Dorie at all and I hadn’t asked him what they were talking about at the dinner party last week. But as far as I knew, Jonathan and Dorie haven’t spoken since.She left the party early and she looked really upset. I’m not sure what he said to her, but it mustn’t have been good.I was excited to spend some time with him alone. I feel like I haven’t been able to be a proper luna towards him since we got married weeks ago. He kept his word at protecting me against Rock and helping me investigate more into the death of my mother. He’s been protective and caring. I haven’t had someone care for me this tenderly since my mother was alive.This kind of care and love was foreign to me and wasn’t sure what I expected. But I know he loves me. He woke me up early because he wanted to take me to different packs and meet some of his friends. I was excited to see what e
Alpha's One Night Bride #Chapter 15 – (Arina) – To Love and Be Loved
The night was beautiful; more so than usual it seemed. I sat in my wolf form, overlooking the riverbed. My blonde fur was still wet from wandering through the waters. I heard the deep growling of Jonathan close by as he found another prey.I wanted to start acting more like a luna towards him; I want to be the wolf he deserves because he deserves the world. He’s always been there to protect me and to love me and I had never noticed. I’ve been so wrapped up with my own problems, with my father and my mother, that I feel I’ve been neglecting Jonathan and his needs as well.Of course, he would never say that to me. He always says that he only ever wants to protect me and care for me. But I can still see the worry and the sadness that lingers in his eyes because he feels I’m not fully in this.If only he knew how wrong he was.If only he knew how much I truly loved him. The wolf in me craves him. The fire in me burns for him.I wished more than anything that I had my mother here to provide
Alpha's One Night Bride #Chapter 16 (Arina) – New Opportunities
“I wish you would let me go with you,” I puffed, staring up at Jonathan. He leaned down to brush his lips across mine. He was leaving to investigate my mother’s death without me, and I felt uncomfortable knowing he was going to be gone.“I’ll only be gone for a week. I’d rather you stay under the protection of Sabrebite,” he told me. “Plus, you have to work.”He was right. We just got back from our honeymoon a couple of weeks ago; there’s no way Marian would allow me to take another week off, regardless of who I was with. She has a business to run, and I need to respect that. I also needed to trust that Jonathan knew what he was doing and that he would report any findings.“I’m just going to miss you,” I told him, burying my face in his chest. He wrapped his arms around me and held me in an embrace.“And I’ll miss you,” he whispered back.I waited for him to leave before heading to work myself.Marion was already in her office when I arrived. Both Mallory and Lucille were standing outs
Alpha's One Night Bride #Chapter 17 (Jonathan) – Investigation
Jonathan hated having to leave Arina at home, but he knew she couldn’t come with him. Where he was going was dangerous and he didn’t want to subject her to it. He told her that he was going to be talking to some mutual friends about Emlin and what they knew about her. But that wasn’t entirely true. He was actually going to see some friends about Rock and find out more information about his origin. He needed to know what kind of life Rock had for him to grow into an awful and greedy werewolf.Jonathan entered the pack that Rock was born into, Dawnguard, before he married Emlin and moved to Ironclaw. According to Arina, she’s never even met Rock’s side of the family. She always assumed they were dead. However, he instinctively remembers a run-in with a woman and her small daughter at Emlin’s funeral.The woman was a bit older it seemed to Jonathan at the time, probably old enough to be his mother. She had short brown hair and her eyes were dark like Rock’s. The small girl resembled her g
Alpha's One Night Bride #Chapter 18 (Arina)- The Letter
“We need to talk.” Rocks voice sounded strained on the other side of the phone. I was clutching onto my cellphone; my knuckles were going white. I bit onto my bottom lip, vigorously. I shouldn’t have even answered the phone but part of me wanted to know why the hell he was calling me.My first instinct was to hang up almost immediately, but what he said next kept me from doing that.“I have a letter from your mother,” he said, keeping his voice low.Part of me didn’t believe him. Why would he be telling me this now? After all this time? All these years of her being gone and he was just bringing this up now. It didn’t make sense to me. But was it worth ignoring? What if he was telling me the truth and I never find out what was in that letter.“What does it say?” I asked, my voice sounding unfamiliar.“You need to return home to receive it,” he informed me.I knew it was just a ploy to get me home. He kicked me out of Ironclaw and now that I’m married, he’s trying to get in with my newfo
Alpha's One Night Bride #Chapter 19 (Ronnie) - Sisters
Ronnie grew up under the influence of her mother, Melissa, and father Rock. For years, she’s watched the abuse happening under her nose, but she was too young to do anything about it.Arina and Ronnie never had a good relationship, but secretly, Ronnie admired Arina for everything that she was. Ronnie was only a couple of years younger, but she somehow looked up to Arina like an older sister. Not that Arina ever cared to be a sister to Ronnie. To Arina, Ronnie was nothing but a nuisance, an intruder in her home.It wasn’t her fault that her mother and Arina’s father had an affair and conceived her. How could she be of blame?After Melissa and Ronnie moved into Rock’s home, Arina never made herself known. She would stay locked up in her room, much like her mother used to, and dissociate from the rest of the family. When she did make appearances, it would only be to fight with her father. They would get into such heated arguments, but he never once laid his hands on her.Ronnie could tel
Alpha's One Night Bride #Chapter 20 (Arina) – The Announcement
“Oh my god!! You’re what?” Jessica cooed on the other end of the phone.“Pregnant…” I told her, my voice sounding hollow. “I haven’t been feeling well lately. I thought it was something I ate. But then this morning, I couldn’t transform.”“Arina! That’s huge news!!” Jessica screamed happily. My fingers were trembling as I gripped the phone, and I was trying to hold back the tears that wanted so desperately to fall from my eyes.“I haven’t even told Jonathan yet,” I breathed.“What? Why not? He’s going to be thrilled,” she assured me.“But what if he’s not? It’s too soon. I don’t think either of us is ready yet,” I told her.With the way things are going currently, with Rock and my job, adding a baby to the mix seems like a lot. But Jessica seems so happy and so sure that Jonathan would be thrilled. So maybe she was right.“I think you’re wrong. I think a baby is exactly what you both need! You love each other and you want to make a happy home. What better way than with a baby.”She had
