"How are you feeling today?" he asks as his thumb caresses a vein on my throat, his fingers gently gripped the side of my neck.

"Feeling much better after the run and hot shower," I say, trying to steady my voice.

He nods, his gaze fixed on me.

He takes his hand to the knot on my towel and loosens it, dragging the white towel away, he throws it onto the chair right on top of the smaller towel he was just using to dry my hair.

I stood naked in front of him, feeling completely bar

  • Beyond Chosen: The Alpha's Fated Mate    Targeted in Silver

    ~Elvira~ “I have another urgent assignment the Alpha gave me today,” Derek continued with a frown. “Besides, the warriors escorting her are experienced. I selected them myself.” Manson considered it for a moment, then nodded. “All right. Elvira, get ready. This shipment cannot be delayed. Make sure every package safely reaches the docks and is logged onto the ship bound for Russia,” He paused watching me intently with a serious face. “I understand sir” I reassured him. “Perfect! Ironfang pack is our newest ally and this is their first business deal with us…Alpha Gabriel strictly warned this shipment should move swiftly. He added. “No problem sir. I’m ready.” I drew a deep breath…after the public incident with my stepfather, I needed this task to go perfectly and without a superior looking over my shoulder the entire time or taking credit…I need to build a better image to the pack… this delivery is important to me so I’m ready to give it my best. Gabriel arrived with

  • Beyond Chosen: The Alpha's Fated Mate    A fragile Truce and Duty…

    ~Elvira~ I dropped my bag and earplugs on the center table, feeling Gabriel move through my apartment as if he belonged there. He opened the refrigerator and looked back at me in mild surprise. “You have food?” “Yes. Uncle Silas sent them over..still freshly cooked,” I answered resting on the counter as I watch him cross-checking my stuff. “I’ll send some maids to check what you need and keep everything stocked,” he muttered closing the fridge and walking toward me. “Gabriel, it’s fine. I can handle….” “Elvira.” He cut me off gently… walking towards me and turning me until my back was pressed on the counter instead and there was almost no space left between us. “I understand you want to stand on your own now. But you’re still my mate. Taking care of you is my responsibility.” His eyes flickered between gold and black. “If you’re only doing this because Bane is pushing you,” I said. “Then don’t.” “ I’m doing it because it’s the right thing to do…because you’re

  • Beyond Chosen: The Alpha's Fated Mate    A web of lies…and tangled allegiances…

    ~Elvira~Gabriel rose slowly from his seat and cleared his throat. “Elvira is a warrior and a respected member of my pack,” he began... “Months ago she came to Silverblade seeking refuge. She claimed she was running from her abusive stepfather. Recently I learned that this same man also murdered her mother.”Shocked murmurs rolled through the room…Elders and Council members turned to one another with widened eyes…across the hall, my stepfather and Alpha Roland both froze.“Beta Stephen?” one of the Council members called.My stepfather stood and walked forward until he was only a few paces from me.“Is it true,” the Council member asked, “that you murdered her mother…your late wife…and that you physically abused Warrior Elvira while she still lived with you in Rivermoon Pack?”Stephen spread his hands in an expression of innocence. “Council Member Regnar, you have known me for many years…how could I murder my own wife and abuse my stepdaughter without a single pack member noticing?

  • Beyond Chosen: The Alpha's Fated Mate    Ghost of Rivermoon…

    ~Elvira~ “So what’s going to happen now? Do I get punished or what?” I asked looking between Unit Commander Karen and Gabriel. They exchanged a silent glance. Gabriel cleared his throat, but before he could speak the door swung open…Unit Commander Manson and Head Warrior Sefa strode in with authority aura rolling off them… My heart sank into my stomach... I grimaced and tried to shrink into myself…praying the floor would open and swallow me whole. Manson was my superior at work… my trainer…someone I genuinely respected. The fact that both he and Sefa had been summoned told me just how serious this had become. “Alpha Gabriel, the Council and the Elders are calling for an emergency meeting in the Council Hall,” Sefa announced. Manson’s gaze stayed locked on me, grim and unreadable. How was I going to dig myself out of this? My stepfather had triggered everything. I had thought I was ready to face him, but the moment I saw his face every old wound ripped open…

  • Beyond Chosen: The Alpha's Fated Mate    More than fucked up…

    ~Elvira~ “Gabriel!” “Gabriel!” Robert and I screamed at the same time, but Gabriel didn’t even flinch. His hand was locked around my stepfather’s throat… Stephen clawed desperately at his grip gasping for air. Alpha Roland lunged forward to pull Gabriel off, but Gabriel shoved him away with so much force that Roland stumbled backward while Calvin had to catch him before he fell…the shock on Roland’s face was almost satisfying to watch. I know I had mentioned about the physical abuse from my stepfather... but when he had asked me to introduce him so he could put a face to the man, I never imagined this would be his reaction… The entire hall had gone silent except for the soft background music…every conversation died…every eye turned toward the Alpha of Silverblade choking a visiting Beta in the middle of the annual gathering… “I think it’s about time we had a little talk. What do you think?” Gabriel said in a calm voice as if the rest of the room didn’t exist. “I

  • Beyond Chosen: The Alpha's Fated Mate    Duty at the ball…

    ~Elvira POV~I finished packing the last of the fresh fruit and the wrapped dishes Uncle Silas had sent from the kitchen into my refrigerator.“This should last us a few weeks until payday,” I murmured, trying to smile even as nervousness and anxiety coiled in my veins...Today was the day. The annual party. He would finally be here. After all these months, I might come face to face with the man I had escaped. How would he react? Would he cause a scene in front of everyone?I had originally hoped for a free day…maybe even the chance to wear a beautiful gown and move through the crowd unnoticed…instead, Unit Commander Manson had assigned me to security…I dressed in the black suit and fitted slacks, slipped the earpiece and my warrior ID into my pocket, and pulled my hair into a tight ponytail…then left the safety of my apartment and headed to the briefing.By the time I arrived, most of the security team was already present…thirty of us dressed head to toe in black, looking more l

  • Beyond Chosen: The Alpha's Fated Mate    Where are you really from

    ~Elvira~ As I stepped out of the bathroom then put on my clothes Gabriel bagged into my room, why was he here now? Had he sensed something? I wondered "What went wrong?" he demanded. "I... I don’t know what you mean," I stammered. I tried to look away, terrified that he would see the silver sw

  • Beyond Chosen: The Alpha's Fated Mate    Seeing the Alpha's Soft side

    ~Elvira~ I walked toward the enrollment desk, my heart beating rapidly out of anticipation, the building was modern with glass walls and shiny floors, and it was full of recruits. There were tall, muscular men in athletic gear from other territories and Silverblade youths looking like they were s

    ~Elvira~ ~Present~ The cell door hissed shut behind me, the locking mechanism echoing down all the way down, after the chill of the cell, I felt completely weak, my muscles trembling, my legs buckled, so I dropped my hands to my knees to keep from fainting. "What do you think you're doing?" a

  • Beyond Chosen: The Alpha's Fated Mate    Intimidating Alpha

    ~Elvira~ The walk to the mansion was silent. I kept my eyes down, but noticed high sensory cameras tucked into the oak branches, their red lights blinking. Silverblade had a massive security network. The pack house was a large mansion of marble and white stone, beautiful but intimidating.
