ALPHA KAEL: All I Want For Christmas Is You

Chapter 1 Ella Whitmore MERRY CHRISTMAS, JASPER. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. My cheeks burned hot with excitement as I clutched the gift box tightly, reading the inscription on the back one more time before struggling to insert the key into the keyhole. I had been planning this surprise for weeks. Christmas eve was finally here, and I just couldn't wait to see the look Jasper would have on his face when he realized that I actually got him the wristwatch he'd always admired. But my legs still, the moment I stepped into the living room. The first thing that caught my attention were the two wine glasses sitting on the center table. My brows knitted together, confused. Jasper told me he was alone when we chatted earlier though I didn't tell him that I was coming over. Sighs. Did he miss me so much that he went this far? Setting two empty wine glass? He must've drank alone, wishing that I was here with him.A smile spread across my lips as I proceeded to his room upstairs, but my steps fa

Chapter 3 Ella Whitmore My hands trembled as I locked every lock in my apartment, the image of the strange man and memories of everything that happened back there still clung to my head. Cold goosebumps washed over me as I sat before my laptop at 3AM, the image of those golden eyes, and his impossible speed flooded my mind. My fingers clicked over the keyboard as I made research, typing everything crazy that I could think of. ‘Can humans have glowy golden eyes?’ ‘Can a human move like a flash?’ The results didn't make sense. They were pointing at supernatural beings… Something that doesn't exist. It's not possible. They only exist in fiction and myths. It's not real. I told myself, trying to brush it off, but I was sure of what I saw. I couldn't deny it… not even to myself. ‘Always trust your instinct, Ella’ My finger froze across the keyboard as my mom's last words echoed in my head, as if she was here with me. She died fifteen years ago when I was just eight, and I've h

Chapter 5 A few days later Ella Whitmore My car slowed down, making a loud grinding sound against the tarred road before halting. Ugh! Fuck! Not now, please. I'd repaired the car five times already in the last two months. I purchased the car from someone three years ago because it was cheap... I couldn't count how many times I'd taken it to an engineer these past years. I really should discard it now, but I have bills piled up, and saving money to buy a car is the last thing on my list now. I sighed frustratingly as I stepped out of the car. Of all places the car could break down, why a deserted road? No cars. No one passing by. Just an unending road covered in fog and snow ahead and behind me. I rubbed my cold palms together. I was supposed to be in the office in thirty minutes, and here I am, stuck in the cold in the middle of nowhere. Right… I should call a mechanic. Maybe I could find anyone nearby. With that in mind, I went back inside my car and grab

Chapter 7 Ella Whitmore “Yes! That's great! Keep it up! Go! Yes!” My gym instructor, Marcus, cheered me on as I did squats. He suddenly paused and whispered, “holy shit!” I straightened up. He was staring in one direction, colours draining from his face. “Is everything alri…” my voice faded into a soft gasp the moment my eyes found Kael. He stood across the gym, arms crossed in front of him, and eyes piercing dangerously at Marcus, who was obviously scared. My stomach twisted nervously and with anger. I've tried to return to my normal life after the incidents . I tried to push everything behind me, pretending to be fine even though I could barely get good sleep these days, thinking about the incident, but Kael hasn't been helping matters. He's always everywhere. At my workplace… when I go to the grocery store, across the street in my apartment, in the coffee shop I visit every morning before work. He's always watching me. This is it! This is enough. I'm goin

Chapter 9EllaMy heart pulsed as I walked beside Kael through the compound that almost looked like a whole world on its own… Different buildings spread across the compound, enclosed in the unending fence surrounding the compound.I wonder how many acres of land they must've used in building this enclosed city.The buildings exuded something dark… every corner felt like they were watching me.People stopped and stared, their eyes full of shock and hostility, burning into my skin, their whispers burned my ears.They didn't look like ordinary human. Nah, nothing distinct, but their aura… it felt… weird and eerily dark.My legs shook beneath me, almost giving in, but Kael was quick to hold my hand.My step steadied.He didn't say ‘sorry’ not even ‘careful’.Just as we continued walking, someone blocked my path. A beautiful young slim blonde haired lady.Her amber eyes burned into mine, full of rage and hatred.My breath caught, cold chills running down my spine.Who is she?She didn't sa
