Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate Prove It
Chapter Title: "Prove It"Zarina's POVI sat by the window in my room, staring out into the dark sky. The stars were hidden behind thick clouds, and everything was chilly. My heart was sinking. I couldn't breathe right, couldn't get him out of my mind.Asher.He wasn't there in my life as he used to be, maybe Cara is getting his whole attention now. It was as if everything between us had shattered, and I had no idea how to glue it together. How to glue us together. I could still feel his touch from last night, his heat on my skin, but it all felt so distant now. So unreal.I wanted to be able to believe him. I wanted to be able to believe he was sorry, but I did not know how. How could I after what he had done? After what he had agreed to?I closed my eyes and took a shaking breath. The pain in my chest did not go away.Suddenly, the door burst open. I did not even need to look up to know who it was."Asher," I whispered, my voice barely audible.He didn't speak right away. He just s

Chapter Sixteen "The Bitter Betrayal"Zarina's POVI sat on the couch in the pack living room, my hands resting in my lap, but my mind elsewhere. The room around me distorted as I fought to keep a hold on my emotions. The weight of everything that was pressing down on me felt like a boulder in my chest, suffocating me.It was a long day, a day that was comprised of moments that did nothing but make me feel more alone than ever before. I wanted to be with Asher. I wanted him to see me, to understand what I was going through. But each time I tried, it was as if something, or someone, thrust me back.The door creaked open, and my heart skipped a beat. I did not have to look up to know who it was. Cara.She walked into the room, her heels clicking loudly on the floor, each one echoing out in the silence. Her smile was fake, that cold, calculating smile she always wore when she wanted something. And I knew, in my gut, she wanted something from me today.I looked away, not wishing to show h

Chapter SeventeenEmotionalZarina's POV (I)I couldn't take it anymore. I had been in my room for hours, my head spinning. Why was Asher not paying attention to me? What did I do wrong? The quietness around me was crushing, was choking. I kept repeating everything that happened—the way he was cold, the way his eyes didn't have the heat they used to have when he looked at me.I missed him. I missed the way he guarded me, the way he watched over me. But now. it was like he did not even notice me anymore. He had been avoiding me for days. Every time I tried to talk to him, he would just turn and walk away, or worse, remain silent. It hurt so much.I attempted to hold back the tears, but it was in vain. The pain in my chest was excruciating. I felt as if I was losing him, and it was breaking me from the inside out. I stood up from the bed, quickly brushing away the tears, trying to hold back the paralyzing sadness. I had to find him. I had to talk to him. Maybe then would I understand wh

Chapter Eighteen : The News That Got MeZarina's POVToday was the mating ceremony.It was supposed to be a lovely day. A day of happiness, love, and joy.Not for me.I sat on my bed in silence, staring at the floor as if it would give me answers. My heart was sore. My chest felt tight. I could hear voices downstairs—loud, excited, happy. Everyone was rejoicing.And me?I was still here, in a plain dress that was nothing compared to what Cara would have had on. I didn't do my hair. I didn't dye my lips. I didn't smile.Because inside, I was scared.What if he wouldn't choose me?What if everything between us was a lie?What if… I was just someone he used?My hands trembled as I rose to my feet. My legs felt weak. My wolf inside me was quiet, almost somber. She had been hurting for days—missing Asher, pining for him. But he wasn't here. He was keeping away from me. Ignoring me like I meant nothing.I moved slowly out of my room.And then I saw her.Cara.She was standing in the hallway

Chapter NineteenUnexpected Zarina’s POVAsher’s voice filled the room, warm and comforting. He walked in holding a beautiful gown, his eyes locked on mine.“I got this for you,” he said softly, his voice gentle as he handed it to me. “Make sure you wear it for the ceremony. I want everyone to see you, Zarina. I want them to know you’re my mate. I will announce you as mine, and everyone will know.”My heart stopped for a moment. He really means it… I couldn’t believe it. He’s going to announce me… as his mate. Finally.I took the gown from his hands, my fingers shaking with excitement. The soft fabric felt cool against my skin, and the way he looked at me made me feel like I was floating. The gown was beautiful—a deep red with gold embroidery along the edges. It was perfect for this moment.“I’ll be there, Asher,” I whispered, my voice shaking with happiness. “I’ll be there. I’m ready.”Asher smiled at me, a smile that made my heart flutter. “I know you will be. You’re my mate, Zarin

Chapter Twenty : The MessageAsher’s POVThe seconds ticked away like hours, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong. The mating ceremony was about to start, and I had just looked around for Zarina… but she wasn’t here.I told myself it was nothing. She was probably getting ready, making sure everything was perfect for the ceremony. But why did I feel this unease gnawing at me?I could feel Cara beside me. She was too close, her hand lingering on my arm, her laugh too loud in my ear. I tried to push her away, but no matter how hard I tried, she wouldn’t get the hint. I kept glancing around, my eyes scanning the hall, looking for Zarina. My heart beat faster with every passing second.“Is something wrong, Asher?” Cara asked, her voice soft but needy.“I—” I started, but before I could say anything, someone called my name.“Asher! It’s time to announce your mate!” the voice of the elder echoed from across the room.I froze. My stomach twisted with dread. Zarina was sup

Chapter Twenty-One: His Fight, My FearZarina's POVI was cold.So cold.My back was pressed against a rough tree. My hands were tied securely with a thick rope.I could barely move.My face was wet with tears, and my whole body shook.I was scared.So, so scared.This was not what today was supposed to be.Today was supposed to be the best day of my life.The day I would stand with Asher…The day that he would present me as his mate to everyone.But instead…I was here. Alone. Tied up. Sobbing.Because Kael… Kael discovered me.Kael, my ex.Kael, the man I once thought I was going to live with.The same Kael who damaged me. Who told me I was never going to be enough.He came out of nowhere.I did not even notice him coming.One minute, I was strolling along the path at the rear of the pack house, trying to calm my nerves for the ceremony…The next, I was grabbed from behind, a rag pressed over my nose, and then darkness.When I awoke…I was here.In the woods, miles away.With him.I

Chapter Twenty-One: His Words(Zarina's POV)I looked at him.Asher looked into my eyes one more time. His face was a map of pain, anger, and love. He was doing this for me. For our babies.Then, right in front of my eyes, he turned into his wolf.His body changed rapidly. I could hear bones cracking. His clothes tore apart. His skin turned into thick black fur. His eyes blazed with fire. His teeth were sharp, his claws outstretched. Within seconds, the man I loved was no longer human.He was a giant black wolf.Strong. Fierce. Furious.He let out a loud growl. So loud the ground shook beneath me. Then he leapt forward.Straight into the wolves.I screamed.There were too many.Hundreds.Maybe even thousands.But he did not care.He sprang and bit the first wolf. Tore it apart. He whirled and swiped at two more with his claws. They fell.But others came.He fought like a beast. Like a true Alpha.He ripped throats, broke bones, slammed bodies into trees. His black fur was sticky with

Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate The Party Start
Chapter 92: The Party StartsZarina's POVI stood in front of the mirror, brushing my hair slowly. My hands were trembling slightly. I did not know why. Maybe it was the way Asher gazed at me when I told him that I was going to Cara's birthday party. His eyes were piercing, worried. He did not shout. He did not argue. But his silence said so much more than words could.She's up to something," he had told me earlier that day. "Zarina, I know she went to you as a friend. I know she apologized. But please… be careful. Don't trust her so easily."I had nodded, my hand over his. "I'll be careful. But I don't want to live in fear. Maybe she really means it this time. Maybe she's changing."He didn't complain, but I saw how his jaw clenched. I knew he didn't believe so.Still, I was already dressed. I wore a soft blue dress that flowed down to my ankles. There was something calming about it. Maybe because my mind had been anything but. I'd been fatigued lately. Weak. My head would spin somet
Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate The Warning
Chapter 91 : he WarningZarina's POVI was sitting in the pack living room, the soft hum of the house enveloping me, but my mind was a whirlwind of thoughts. It had been a day or two since Cara came by, and I couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right. Every time I thought about the way she'd looked at me, the way she'd apologized… it felt too good to be true. But maybe I was thinking too much. Maybe this was the start of something new. Maybe she was actually changing.Asher walked in through the door, his tired eyes scanning the room before they settled on me. I knew something was wrong — his jaw was tight, and his eyes had that glint, that edge, like he was hunting for something.“Zarina," he said, his voice low, warning already present in it. "I need to talk to you."I looked up from the book I had been pretending to read. My heart skipped a beat. "What is it?He crossed the room, his boots thudding on the wooden floor, and stood in front of me. He didn't sit down, just

Not how you're ill as in how you dash for the bathroom but how something inside you just does not feel quite right. I sat on the edge of the bed, hands in my head, and breathed deeply. I thought maybe it was stress. Too much thinking. Too much crying. Too much aching in my chest about it all.Asher left early. I never asked where he was going. I knew he was trying to fix it all again, try to keep the pack together, try to protect me and the kids. That's all he ever did. And I loved it.But love couldn't stop the way I felt that morning. Hollow. Lost. Weary.But still I rose. I went to check on the kids, then cleaned the little sitting area by the rear of the house. I needed to move. To breathe. To keep going.I didn't expect I'd be seeing her again so soon.But then, just shy of noon, the front door softly knocked. I stiff
Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate The apology
Chapter 89 : The ApologyZarina's POVI did not anticipate having her at my door.It was a peaceful morning. Asher had departed early to meet the patrol leaders, and the house was quiet. The children were outdoors playing with the nanny, and I was ironing clothes in the cozy living room. I was drained, both physically and emotionally. Everything was too much to endure.Then there was a knock.Not the typical kind. Not loud, not persistent. Just… soft. Gentle. Almost like the person on the other side of the door didn't want to scare me.I opened it carefully.And there she was.Cara.Her face was altered—exhausted, melancholy, not angry as typical. Her dark hair was loose, and she had on a simple gray cloak. No trinkets. No cosmetics. She looked… human. Sort of harmless.My heart skipped in my chest, and I gripped the doorjamb tightly."What do you want?" I whispered."I just. I want to talk," she replied. She was talking low and trembling. "Please, Zarina. I'm not here to fight. I swe
Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate The Weighr Of Leadership
Chapter Title: The Weight of LeadershipThe moon was low in the sky, casting a pale light over the packhouse. Inside, the air buzzed with tension. I sat by myself in my study, the weight of what had occurred during the day oppressing me.The elders were gone, their words lingering within me. The Red Moon Pack was cutting all ties with us. No further supplies. No trade. It was all due to the choice I had made to be with Zarina. I drew a hand over my hair, irritation welling up within. Had I erred? Would I have done better with Cara? Would keeping the peace been better that way? The very thought plagued me.And yet I thought about Zarina's tear-streaked face, her silence, her unwaivering belief in me. She was my companion. She had given birth to our pups. She was the future of the pack.The elders, though, did not view it so. They saw her as danger, as a vulnerability. They saw her as the reason that the pack failed.I leapt up, pacing the room. The pressure in my chest was too much to
Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate The Point
Chapter 87: The Breaking PointZarina’s PovI sat in the quiet room of the pack house, my mind swirling with thoughts I couldn’t escape. The weight of everything happening around me—everything that had changed in our lives—was becoming unbearable. The constant tension, the constant pressure. I could feel myself unraveling.Asher and I had gotten this far, but with everything that had happened with Cara, the elders, and the pack… I didn't know how I could continue to live like this. I had tried to be strong for him, for the children, but my heart ached. The stress was more than I could manage.I knew Asher would do all he could to protect me and the children, but would it be enough in the end? I was torn between clinging to the life that I had with him and the fear that the chaos would never leave.And then the solution hit me, so forcefully it shook me to my foundations. If sex with Cara would harmonize the pack, then maybe Asher should just go and do it.I felt sick to my stomach jus
Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate The pack future
Chapter 86: The pack future Asher's POVI was in my office, my hands clenched tightly around a tumbler of whiskey, my head spinning with all that was happening of late. It had been a long day, one full of tension, puzzlement, and the overpowering desire to protect what was mine. Zarina seethed, perplexed by everything, and I had not the least idea of what to tell her that would make it better. Every day was a battle, but the war had not yet begun properly.Then my phone rang, shattering my daydreaming. The screen lit up with my mother's name, and for an instant, my heart skipped a beat. I had not spoken to her for some time. I had no idea what this call would be about, but I didn't have to guess very hard to figure that it wouldn't be something straightforward.I sighed and answered the call, trying to conceal my emotions."Yes, Mother?" My voice was level, but the constriction in my chest betrayed me."Asher, I need to talk to you," my mother stated sternly, but I sensed a quiver of
Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate Asher’s Choice
Chapter 85: Asher's ChoiceI walked in the night, my brain foggy, and my heart heavy. The weight of the day, the pack's need, and the pain of it all happening around me had started to strangle me. I considered everything Cara and I had been through at that moment. Her family pressure, the needs of the pack, and my choices.But the more I dwelled on it, the more I couldn't get the image of Zarina and the babies out of my head. The way they regarded me, the way Zarina smiled, the way the children depended on me for everything. The idea of giving that up, of taking Cara, it didn't sit right. Each time I tried to envision it, the only thing that popped into my mind was Zarina's face, her warmth, and how everything felt complete when we were together.I stopped on the trail, where moonlight filtered through leaves at the edge of the woods. It was quiet. Too quiet.Cara.Her face seemed to flash through my mind, the soft, honeyed tone she always had, her elegant hands, yet even with all of
Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate The Battles
Chapter 84 : The BattlesAsher's POVThe day had been long. Tension was thick in the packhouse, and my mind continued to spin with it all—Zarina's battle, Cara's machinations, the threats on the horizon. I had promised Zarina that I would always be there to protect her, and yet it felt like I was failing her. There was so much beyond my control, so much that I did not understand, and all I wanted to do was keep her and our children safe.I rested against the side of the bed, the weight of the day weighing on my shoulders. My eyes wandered to Zarina, who was lying there with our triplets. They were wrapped in warm blankets, their tiny bodies curled up against her. The peaceful sight of them all curled up together was the only solace in the midst of chaos.Zarina was exhausted too. She had been through so much recently, attempting to assist me, attempting to keep our family intact while the world around us seemed to crumble. I could see the characteristic signs of her fatigue—the faint
