Ezekiel’s POVWe went back outside “Did Irene and Fabian leave?” dad inquired.“Yes, they left just now” I replied.“So, what is your plan next?” Alpha Alex looked at me and Alessia.“We have sent the bodies to the pack clinic. They will have the reports by tomorrow morning” I informed him.“That’s good”“What else did you find out?” he asked.“We found a doll and car. I think they lured the children into the woods by showing them the toys” I added.“What is your plan next?” dad inquired. I looked towards him.“Alessia will be going to meet Ava as she is the head of the female werewolf’s”“Alpha Jeremy’s mate?” Mom looked at me.“Yes, the very same” I nod at her.“I will be meeting the other packs and find out where the most attacks are happening. We have to make a team and work on the rogues project” I stated“Tell us if you need any help” dad said to me where as others agreed with him.“We will” I nod at him.After that, I turned to Alpha Alex “I would like to take my mate to my pac
Ezekiel’s POV“I meant I will be sleeping in the second master bedroom. You can keep yours” She looked so casual as if it was nothing.“What the hell do you mean you will sleep in another room?” My tone came out harder than I intended.She turned to face me “We will not be sleeping in the same room” she muttered.“There is no way I am allowing you to sleep somewhere else other than our bed” I glared at her.“You cannot force me” she glared right back at me.“Do you even hear yourself?” I was understanding why she had taken this decision. But for the life of me, I cannot be so patient when she is making decisions on her own without my opinion.She folded her arms in her front which made her breast look fuller. I snapped my gaze away as I did not want to be distracted“Yes, I do. And my decision is final” she stated.“I won't allow it” I shook my head at her.She narrowed her eyes at me “You don't have any right to stop me”“I am your mate,” I snapped.“If you are really my mate, you wo
Alessia's POV“Ms. Romano, here is your dinner” Mark bought me my dinner for the third consecutive day. To say I was upset could be an understatement.Ezekiel has avoided me like a plague and I am at my wits end. I have no idea how to make him understand why I am like this. He is my mate. Shouldn't he understand my reasoning?“Did Ezekiel have his dinner?” I asked him.“Master, has not yet returned from his field trip. Once he returns, former Luna makes sure he has his dinner before going to bed” he informs me.“Thank you” I smiled at him and closed the door after taking the dinner.I am sure Ezekiel has put his mom to work in sending me all the meals. It feels like I belong here. Seeing them caring for me despite what I did to their son, makes me feel they understand me.I decided to wait for Ezekiel. From the past two days, when I messaged him, all he replied was to lock the door and that he was not returning.I understand he is upset but he could at least man up and talk with me f
Alessia’s POV“I am not going anywhere,” I replied stubbornly. He stopped near the washroom door for a second before entering inside and closing the door with a loud thud.I scowled at the door.This is not going to be easy. But I will have to make him understand where I am coming from. Five minutes and he was still inside. I wait another five more minutes. After ten minutes passed and he still did not come, I went and banged the door.“Ezekiel, come out right now” I shouted.He did not reply. I placed my hands on my hips and glared at the door.“If you don't come out, I am going to break this” I warned him.“Go away” his reply came after a minute or so.“Stop being childish. We need to talk” I called out to him.“I am not being childish” he deadpanned. I can imagine him glaring hard at the door.“Fine, you don't want to come out. Have it your way then” I moved back preparing to break down the door.When I took a run for it, suddenly he opened the door and my eyes widened as I collid
Alessia’s POV“Okay, I will sleep in the next room” he stated so casually.“What do you mean you will sleep in the next room?” I sprang to my feet and glared at him.He had a smirk on his face “Were you not the one to suggest that we sleep in different rooms?” “That was before I knew what it might look like to the pack members. Now we cannot do that. We need to share a room here in the pack house” I explained.“I see” he muttered as he folded his arms in his front and crossed his legs as he stared at me “Then will this remain same once we go back to our home or the separate room continues?”I scratched the back of my neck “We have to do it to avoid temptations”His smirk widened “Am I so hot that you cannot control yourself?” “You wish” I scoffed.He stood straight, I could see the challenge brimming in his eyes.“Are you really saying that I don’t make you feel weak in the knees?” he stalked me and I took a step back.“I never said that” I replied.“Are you saying that your heart d
Ezekiel’s POVI stalked out of the room and went downstairs in anger. I know just few minutes back I had said that no matter what, I won’t walk off. But how I can ignore this hurt I feel inside my chest which is ripping me apart?Realizing that I was only an option for her but not a choice, made me realize that things between us are far from normal. I care for her, I do to the extent that I can do anything for her. But even I have my limits. Whenever two people come into a relationship, both of them should make the effort. That is not the same in my case. My feelings are one sided. Alessia still has some kind of feelings towards Oliver. My wolf magnus wants to be let out. We were also not happy with the fact that Oliver insulted a pure Alpha Lycan by asking Alessia to be his mistress. That is an offense he made and he should apologize.I had almost reached outside the pack when I came face to face with the Oliver who is the sole reason for our arguments. Until he is in picture, I kno
Alessia’s POV“Ah…” I groaned in pain.“Are you okay?” Ezekiel asked.I could hardly say anything. My wolf is hardly healing.Ezekiel, seeing the pain on my face immediately pushed the bike with all his Lycan strength. “Are you able to get up?” he asked softly. My leg was already bleeding.“Shit…” he immediately picked me up in his arms and took me to the pack’s clinic.“Is it hurting too much?” he murmured softly.“I am fine” I grit my teeth.“Doesn’t look like it” he looked down at me. We reached the clinic. A nurse was sleeping on her desk.“Nurse Julia” Ezekiel called out to the nurse.She immediately got up and sputtered “Alpha Ezekiel, what happened?” “Can’t you see” Ezekiel snapped at her.“Ezekiel, please calm down” I touched his arm. He relaxed under my touch.“I seemed to have hurt my leg” “This looks like deep wound. How did you get it?” the nurse cleaned my wound.“I fell down from the bike” I replied. Ezekiel held my hand “You okay”?” he asked once again.“Yeah” I sm
Alessia’s POVNext morning during the pack training, Ezekiel’s dad made the announcement about the beta challenge. Some of the strongest warriors took part in the challenge which will be held tomorrow.Some of the pack members were not very pleased with me and were passing mean comments, which I ignored. There were some who were not daring enough and were only giving me the stink eye.Back at my pack, dad also made the announcements. Oliver is going to be grilled for this challenge.I just hope someone who is truly a nice person can take over the position. It is peaceful both ways. “Hey” Ezekiel came to me after breakfast.“Why are you meeting Luna Ava today?”“She did not meet me as she was busy” I muttered in a not so pleased tone.“Is she giving you hard time?” Ezekiel looked me in the eyes.I let out a sigh “She is the main leader of the female werewolf. So, it is obvious she will have some attitude” I explained.“Should I have a word with Alpha Jeremy?” he asked.“No, just let m
Alpha Ezekiel’s POVMy heart stuttered as I heard council Irene questioning my position. It was a direct attack to my leadership.“If it has anything to do with my behavior today with Oliver, I don’t think it is right. It is against werewolf Lycan community” I muttered.“We are not questioning your mate bond and we never did. You have always stood by what you deemed right and protected Alessia in your own way. That’s not why we are questioning your position” Irene started. The atmosphere in the room dropped a notch. It was tense. So tense, that we could actually hear each other’s loud heartbeat. Or maybe it was just mine and my mate’s. as for Irene and Fabian, they have nothing to be nervous about.Their position is not being questioned so their heartbeat won’t increase. And with that cold realization seeped in. I realized what Alessia was trying to explain to me just a few minutes back.“You as an Alpha should know better than to have a scuffle outside where the pack members are wat
Alessia’s POV“What are you staring at?” snapping out of my thoughts, I turn around to face Ezekiel.“Done with the meeting?” I asked instead. He raised his eyebrows at me as I countered his question with one of my own. Something he is not used to.“Yup” he replied as he came and stood beside me near the window.“What were you staring at?” he changed the question this time. Letting out a sigh, I replied “Falcon visited me” I informed him “Wasn’t he at your parents house?” I could here the confusion in his voice.“Just few minutes back, dad gave me a call saying that Falcon left. I guess he wanted to see me one last time before flying away to where he belongs” I replied.“You are upset” he pointed out.I finally turn to face him “I am not upset but troubled maybe” I repliedPlacing his hand on my waist, he pulled me closer to him. I could not resist and sought his warmth. He pressed a kiss to my temple“Does that make you feel better?’ he murmured.“A little bit” I mumbled. My voice
Alessia's POVOnlookers at the cafe were startled with the sudden fight that broke out in the cafe. Some children started crying in fright. During the fight, both of them pushed towards the window with force. It led to them breaking the window. I gasped and followed them outside. At first I let them have it out as I have full faith in Ezekiel.When people started gathering outside, I had to intervene.“Ezekiel stop” I pulled him back with force. He was breathing hard. I checked Oliver and saw Ezekiel surely did a number on him. “Next time, you better watch your tongue or I will make you unable to talk” I warned him. Oliver fumed in anger whereas Ellie looked shocked.“Let's go” holding Ezekiel's hand, I walked out of the place with our head held high.Once we got inside the car, I turned to face him “Are you okay?” Ezekiel looked anything but calm at the moment.“Baby” I placed my hand on his arm.He snapped his head in my direction “I am fine” he grits his teeth“Ezekiel, Oliver is
Alessia's POV I asked Ezekiel to send the diet plan to Alpha Melanie as soon as we reached the pack.Mark followed us inside after we reached our home. Ezekiel went to get fresh as soon as we entered so that I could speak with Mark. The level of understanding Ezekiel has of things, and the maturity he shows is something manh envy about him. He knows when to make himself scarce and does not interfere in my matters. That's what I appreciate the most about him.“Yes Mark, have you got the information?” I looked at him.“Here are the details about Alpha Jeremy” he passed me the file.“Thank you” I smiled at him.“You made sure right that no one knows about you keeping an eye on him?” I had specifically made it clear for him to be very careful. I don't want to cause Luna Ava any problem at the moment.“I was discreet in following him around. He is a womaniser and treats women very badly. I was shocked with some findings. I hope it will help you” he informed me pointing towards the file.
Alessia’s POVReaching the pack for dinner as I had promised, I entered our house. Ezekiel was watching some crime thriller on tv.“You are back” he smiled at me and did a double take when he saw the hawk resting on my shoulder.“Yup” I smiled back at him.“So, this is the one whom you rescued today?” Ezekiel asked as I settled down beside him on the sofa.“Yes. I found him on our territory. Once he is fine, I let him go in the nature where he belongs to” I murmured.“Good” Ezekiel tried to touch it but instead of accepting the gesture, falcon the hawk, pecked its pointed beak on Ezekiel’s hand drawing out blood.“Falcon” I chided him with a glare. “You, okay?” I turned my attention to Ezekiel.“Yeah” Ezekiel is full-blood Lycan so he healed fast.“He does not seem to like me” Ezekiel muttered as he stared at the Falcon who was now sitting near our living room window after I glared at him. He has quiet an attitude.“He is cautious of strangers” I corrected.“I guess so” Ezekiel turne
Alessia’s POV“Woah, what have we got here?” dad looked up the moment, I entered the office.I smiled “I found it injured on the pack territory. The vet has checked it. Once it is healed, I will let it fly back to wherever it came from” I explained.“Red tail hawk is rare to find” dad murmured as he tried to pet the hawk. That hawk looked at dad with its deep curious eyes. “There, he is not going to harm you” I pat it softly. It seems to understand me and relaxed when dad touched it.“It looks mesmerizing” dad commented as I took my seat and placed the hawk on the table.“How is everything going so far?” I asked as I took the reports from dad.“So, there was no foul play. Those children were truly attacked by the rogues” I muttered not pleased with the reports.“What happened about your meeting with the female Alpha’s?” he inquired. I explained everything that went down during my meeting and that from tomorrow I will be training these packs.“Alpha Sarah should not have attacked you
Alessia’s POV“That was a long day” Ezekiel muttered as he sat down on the edge of the bed.“You can say that” I let out a sigh.“So, how are you feeling?” he asked me.“I am feeling fine” I replied.“Do you think the curse is vanishing now that you have started healing?” he asked which I had been thinking since I woke up. “That thought did come to my mind, but I don’t know” I shrugged my shoulder in response.“I wish we had some way to find out” he murmured in a sad tone.“Hey” I held his hand.“Don’t worry. Everything is going to be fine” I assured him.“Hope so” was all he murmured.“What actually happened today?” he asked me.“Alpha Sarah was not ready to merge the packs. When I said that it I necessary, she said that I am a new Alpha and have no idea about taking care of pack”“So, you challenged her” he guessed it right.“I asked her if she is questioning my ability and strength, she said yes. That’s when I challenged her” I explained what went down at Luna Ava’s house.“You wo
Luna Ava’s POV‘I cannot believe it’ my heart constricted at the thought that he is here alive.“What, how?” I looked at him. Everything seems to fade away in the background. All that I could see is him. He is here physically alright.I walked up to him and touched him. I gasped when I realized that it is not just a figment of my imagination. That he is truly alive.“I don’t understand” I murmured.“Ava” he finally spoke and that’s when everything came back to me. The way I had fought against Jeremy to let me see him once. The aftermath of speaking up. Those painful days. My heartbreak and bleak life I lived.“Guards, go and patrol the borders. Make sure none of our pack members wander off too far in the woods” That’s when I snapped out of my daze and looked around. We have audience.Once the guards had left, now it was only me, Alpha Alessia, Alpha Ezekiel, Alpha Violet and Mi… I stopped. I cannot wrap my head around the fact that he is alive and standing in front of me. So many ques
Alessia’s POVI woke in an unfamiliar room.“Cherie” I snapped my head towards the sound.“Baby” I smiled at him.Without saying a word, he engulfed me in his arms. I let him hug me knowing he must have been worried. After sometime he moved back and gave me a concerned look.“How long was I out?” I asked.“Around twenty minutes or so” he replied in barely controlled anger.“I am fine” I squeezed his hand in assurance.“You were not waking up. Do you know how that makes me feel?” he snapped.“Why did you agree for the challenge with someone who don’t follow any values and rules?” he went on throwing questions one after the other.“What if something happened to you?” he snapped. I know he was not angry at me but at the situation that we are in.“Nothing happened” I said.He scowled at me “This is a serious matter. We need to call the council. This behavior is unacceptable” he shook his head at me.“Alpha Ezekiel, I know Alpha Sarah should not have attacked Alpha Alessia like that. I hop
