Alpha Picked 51
*** Manzitti *** I feel alive, like the very blood that runs through my veins is electrified. I am going to be as one with my fated mate and from the way Roman is reacting, I think he is content with the arrangement. He has chanted “Mate” non-stop since I shifted back. He is chirruping and howling with ecstasy. I have never felt him this exhilarated over anything ever before. Our Helen, our mate, she completes us. She makes us stronger. She gives life a whole new meaning. I have never felt so invincible before. Ivan meets us at the door when we return to the Packhouse. Alpha, there is some unrest among the pack regarding your human mate. I have told them to get over it and that this is happening, she belongs to you, and you are keeping her. I’m not going to command it; I am going to show it. I will show them all how well suited we are. I will demonstrate why I believe in her ability to be their Luna. I will try to be patient and give them time to adjust. This is happening with or

*** Helen ***As I come for the third time, I collapse against Manzitti, our hot sweaty bodies completely entwined and sated. I feel whole when I am with him.My entire body glows with satisfaction. Manzitti had promised to worship my whole body and he did not lie. I have never, ever felt completion like I do right now.“Best night ever!” I hear Manzitti murmur against my head, and I laugh as I lift myself and kiss him on the lips, nibbling his bottom lip.I move my legs to one side and go to stand, but he pulls me back to him. “Where are you going?” Him kissing me down my neck causes ripples of desire to continue to flow throughout my body.“I need the bathroom!” I giggle as I try to escape his embrace again and I yelp in surprise when he playfully spanks my ass on the way past him.When I come back into his bedroom, I watch him as he lays back with his hands stacked behind his head, and my heart swells with love and happiness. He is mine, all mine, and I am going to spend forever li

*** Halle *** ~*~ Four Hours Earlier ~*~ My phone ringing in the middle of the night wakes me from a deep sleep. I check my alarm clock before answering: it’s 2am, this best be good. Brad mutters in his sleep and Summer is in a travel cot at the bottom of our bed, flat-out. “Hello?” I answer in a sleep-filled voice. “Halle? It’s Lieutenant Slayne Goldrick. I’m sorry to disturb you like this but we have a problem.” I dart up in bed. “Ale, wake up now. ALE!” I give him a sharp kick in the ribs, and he grumbles as he opens his eyes. “Slayne, what has happened?” “Manzitti and Helen are missing. They took a buggy car out at midnight. Don’t ask me why. The tracker alarm sounded, telling us they crashed, but we can’t find them. The tracker is now placing the car in The Moon Stone Territory and if they are there, this is bad, really bad. Manzitti was told we are not welcome on their land and Helen’s human.” My heart sinks as I take all that in. I really didn’t need to be adding furthe

*** Ivan *** Once we stormed the main hall at the Moon Stone packhouse, I mindlinked Manzitti, but his link was distorted. Helen brought us here, Xavier is her father. My first instincts were defensive. I thought it was a trap. That was until I saw the hurt and confusion in my future Luna’s eyes. She stepped back from the man who said he was her father and the instant she looked at me, Manzitti and Slayne, I knew she was as blindsided as us. I saw myself in her in that moment: the hurt I felt every time Slayne had pushed me away was reflecting in her eyes, but it was too late. She had already drank in our expressions of mistrust, and she ran. I can’t say I blame her. Slayne is naturally protective of her brother, and it doesn’t take a genius to work out that Manzitti is dHelenstated and disordered. As we help him back to his apartment when he refuses to go to the pack hospital, his anguish comes out as he finds Helen’s clothing and trinkets that she has left behind. I stop Slayne

*** Helen *** The heat of Manzitti’s stare warms me into a wanton frenzy, but I cannot back down too easily. I am sick of feeling hurt and rejected and lacking. I need to know that he accepts me for me and that all I am will be enough for him. I love him, but if loving him means I have to spend the rest of my days feeling inadequate then I will take my chances on spending it alone. He loves us, the gentle voice from within tells me and it finally clicks into place: I am not crazy or hallucinating. It’s my wolf. I have a wolf. “Manzitti, can you have a wolf and not know it? And how do I find out?” He gives me a huge smile which melts me even more. I can try to resist him and his charm but ultimately, I love this stupid man and I do want to be with him. “Can you feel her, Helen? Roman said he could. He said she is buried deep inside you, but she is there. Maybe you could try and talk to her?” I give him an incredulous look since I have no idea how to do that. “How? How do you talk

*** Manzitti *** I mindlink Ivan and Slayne and tell them Helen and Summer are moving in with me today and ask them for some help. Yeah Alpha, no problem, just give us two minutes, Ivan answers. Make that ten minutes, Alpha, kind of busy here, Slayne interjects and I shake my head. Fine, ten minutes and then get in here and help us. I ask Helen what she wants to take for now and we start with Summer’s bedroom. Summer tells me she needs her ‘babas’ which I now know means her dolls, so I fill a box with her toys and Helen packs up a suitcase with Summer’s clothes. “We can always come back for more stuff, Shortie; we don’t have to pack up the whole house today.” She smiles at me. “This is for a few days, Aidy. We’ll probably need a removal van to take everything.” Shit! I might have to get a second apartment if this is stuff for a few days. Ivan comes in and helps me load Summer’s stuff into the car. “Are you and your mate all sorted then, Alpha?” I nod to him. “Yes, she’s defin

*** Xavier *** I had banished everyone from my lands in a fit of rage and now my daughter hasn’t returned to speak to me. A yearning in my chest was stopping me from doing anything else. I needed to see her again, I wanted to know her. My little girl. She is a beautiful woman now and from the tiny scraps of information her mother fed me, I know she was married with a child of her own and living in Germany, she was training to be a doctor. So how did she end up in my territory, mated to my enemy? No doubt her mate will keep her away from me now, and I hated that he had something so powerful to use against me. I had enjoyed testing the boundaries of Alpha Manzitti, who was a stark contrast to his own father. I had never liked Alpha John Goldrick and the incident that caused our fallout had always stung me. I had been painted as immoral for what I had done but I had stuck to the laws of our kind. I did not betray any of our customs and yet I was treated as though I had. I have summone

*** Helen *** I keep my head held high as I enter the meeting room. An older gentleman, whose hair is completely grey and his wrinkled skin is sallow in appearance, stands as we enter. “Alpha Manzitti, thank you for accepting my visit. And this must be your mate, Helenngelina, Xavier’s daughter.” When he turns to look at me, his grey watery eyes make me think of murky waters. “Actually, it’s just Helen.” I say the words without even thinking and I am shocked at my own forwardness. “It’s nice to make your acquaintance, Alpha Martin.” “We understand that you come here with a message from Alpha Xavier, is it for me or Helen?” Manzitti asks. He walks us further into the room and pulls me to sit next to him on a large sofa. Despite there being lots of room, I am squashed between the arm of the seat and my mate. “Actually, it’s for both of you. Helen, your father requests that you return to the Moon Stone. It is your home, and you belong there. Alpha Manzitti, Alpha Xavier respectfull
