Mikhail

The door to the office opens after a soft knock on the door, and I immediately recognize the scent of my Beta, Alexei. Lifting my head, I look at the blurred figure of his frame.

"Alpha," he says, his tone serious. "We've received an invitation."

"Invitation?" I raise an eyebrow.

It is strange because nobody wants to invite me into their territory because of my reputation. 

"Yes, for the Full Moon Ball at Redwood Pack." He places an envelope on my desk and pushes in my direction until it touches my fingertips. "It's from Alpha Gregor."

"What does he want from us this time?" I reach out and run my fingers over the envelope, feeling the embossed seal of the Redwood Pack. Gregor.

Alexei takes a seat in front of my desk before he speaks.

"From what I have gathered, he's inviting all the prominent packs. Probably to form alliances as there has been a rise in rogue attacks."

"Do you plan to attend, Alpha?" Alexei asks.

The idea of mingling with other Alphas doesn't appeal to me, but there is something about the Redwood pack that is intriguing, and even my wolf seems to agree with me.

"Yes," I finally say. "We will attend."

"Very well, I'll make the necessary arrangements." Alexei says, and after a moment, he adds, "Maybe this year you will find your mate."

"I already have Layla, and I don't need anyone else." Shaking my head, I interlock my fingers and place my hands on the table, "She is what I want."

"Mikhail, the true mate bond is irreplaceable." Running his fingers through his hair, he sighs, "No one takes her place in your life. You may feel Layla is good for you, but it is your true mate who has been created for you... she will be the someone who you need."

Alexei is not only my beta but also my friend. We have been together for as long as we can remember. He has been my only friend and someone whom I trust. We have seen so much together in our lives that there are hardly any secrets between us. 

"I don't need anyone. I already have everything that I want: my pack, my people, and a she-wolf who will become the Luna of this pack and bear my pups. Soon after the Full Moon Ball, I will make an announcement about accepting Layla as the Luna."

"End of discussion." My voice comes out stern, with no room for further discussion when I feel he is about to say something.

"Very well, Alpha." I sense him bowing before he leaves the room.

I mindlink Layla to come inside my study.

Not even five minutes have passed when she walks inside the room.

"Alpha, what can I do for you?" I hear a smile in her voice. "Isn't it a bit too early to be frisky?" She teases as she settles down in the seat where Alexei has been sitting earlier.

After Alexei, Layla has been the one who has been with me for years. Alexei and Layla are two people who have been with me before I took over the Alpha position. In a way we have formed our own bond, but for some reason Alexei never liked Layla and has just been cordial with her because of me. 

Layla is a strong and fertile shewolf in her prime with an Alpha and Beta blood. She is loyal to me and understands my need, and for me she is perfect to be my mate and to bear my offsprings.

My wolf lowly growls even though he agrees with me, but I know a part of him will never accept her because he is tuned to accept his true mate.

That's why I need to complete my mating bond with Layla before my so-called true mate appears before me if she exists. Because once it happens then my wolf will not accept any other shewolf as his mate other than her, and if I reject her before completing the mating bond then he will go insane. 

"I am going to Redwood pack for the Full Moon Ball, I will be gone for four days, and in my absence I will leave you in-charge of the pack." Leaning back in my chair, I stare in her direction, even though I can't see properly but if I focus too hard I make out the outlines, "Alexei will be accompanying me so the pack will be your responsiblity."

"Isn't that your Luna's responsibility?" She laughs lightly.

"It is; that's why I am giving it to you." A smirk form on my lips, "After I return from the ball, I will announce you as my Luna and seal the mating bond with you."

"Mikhail." She walks around and sits on knees infront of me and keeps her hands on my knees, "I promise, I will never let you or this pack down. I will be the Luna that this pack deserves and I will be the mate that you want."

"I know that's why I have chose you." I run my hand through her hair, my actions similar to petting an animal, "You are aware of the consequences if you fail me, right?" Harshly grabbing her hair, I yank her head back.

I can feel her nodding her slightly while I smell her fear.

She knows I don't forgive mistakes and even she will not be spare of the consequences if she fails to fulfill her responsiblity.

"Good girl." Releasing my grip, I smooth her hair.

"Prepare the pack for my absence. Ensure everything runs smoothly, and if there are any issues, you know how to reach me."

"Of course, Alpha." Her voice trembles slightly, but she is quick to find her composure.

As she leaves, I feel a sense of satisfaction. My plans are falling into place, and soon, everything will be as it should be.

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Epilogue

    The sun spills across the hunter base, soft and golden, brushing over the stone pathways and worn metal of the old walls. It’s quiet, not the kind of silence that comes from fear or confusion, but something calm and still, like the breath right before something begins.Anastasia stands in the courtyard, framed by morning light. All eyes are on her. But she doesn’t fidget or shift beneath their gaze. She wears it like a cloak, one she was always meant to carry.She wears a long charcoal-gray skirt that moves like a whisper when she walks. It brushes over her boots and sways with the kind of grace that turns heads before she even speaks. A fitted black blouse clings to her frame, and a leather belt sits snug around her waist. From it hangs a dagger, silver-handled and sharp, not just a symbol but a reminder—she’s still a huntress. Always has been. Her pendant catches the sunlight, but it’s the mark on her neck that draws quiet looks. Her mate mark, clear and unhidden.She doesn't try to

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 112

    AnastasiaThe ceiling above me is soft and hazy, my eyes still adjusting. My body feels heavy, like I’ve been asleep for days. There’s warmth pressed against my back, strong and steady. I don’t have to turn to know who it is.Jake's arm is curled around my waist.His chest rises and falls behind me, slow and calm. But when I shift slightly, his breath catches.I turn my head, just enough to see his eyes already open. Watching me. His gaze softens the second our eyes meet, and his fingers brush my arm like he’s making sure I’m really here.My throat feels tight.I reach up to touch my cheek, confused when I feel the wetness there. Tears. I’m crying. I hadn’t even realized. The tears just keep coming, quiet and slow, like my body is releasing something I didn’t know I was still holding onto.Jake shifts closer, his hand lifting to catch the tears with his thumb. His eyes don’t leave mine.“Anastasia…” he whispers.I swallow hard and shake my head, blinking again, trying to steady myself.

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 111

    AnastasiaThe grass beneath me feels warm. Softer than I remember. And the moon… it hangs so full and bright above the meadow, casting everything in silver. The whole place looks washed clean, like nothing bad has ever touched it.I sit there, knees pulled to my chest, just watching. Breathing it in. The calm. The quiet. The kind of silence that feels sacred, like even the night itself is holding its breath.It should be enough. This peace. This stillness.But it isn’t.Because somewhere deep in my chest, there’s an ache I can’t explain. A hollow space that no amount of silence seems to fill.And then I hear it.Laughter.Not close. Just soft and airy at first. But growing. Coming closer.I straighten, my heart already racing before I even see them.Two little boys come bursting out of the trees like they’ve been running wild through the night. They can’t be more than four. Tiny feet stomping the grass, hair all over the place, faces glowing under the moonlight like they belong to this

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 110

    JakeHer body goes limp in my arms. Like all the fight finally drains out of her. She just folds into me, quiet and heavy, like finally, she’s done holding the weight of the world by herself. Like maybe she’s ready to let her guard down and just be… held.But I don’t let her fall.I grip her tighter, one arm around her back, the other under her legs, holding her close to my chest. Her face is pressed to my neck, her breath soft against my skin, and it hits me just how still she is. My heart’s pounding so hard I can barely hear over it. The warmth of her blood still lingers on her skin, and all I can do is pull her in like I can shield her from everything, even now.Footsteps echo behind me.My body shifts without thinking. I turn slightly, angling myself so she’s hidden in my arms, pressed safe against me. My back is to the door. My body is between her and whoever’s coming.Mine.The word’s not even conscious. Just there. Fierce and loud in my bones.“Holy shit,” someone breathes beh

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 109

    JakeBy the time I reach the cell, Pete’s screams are gone. Not fading. Gone. The kind of silence that follows only after death.I shift back into my human form as I reach the gate. My feet slow, but my breath doesn’t. It catches in my throat the second I see her.Anastasia stands there, tall and still, right over his body or what’s left of it. Pete’s head lies a few feet from his torso, mouth open like it died trying to beg. Her dagger drips crimson, glinting under the faint flicker of the hallway lights.Her back is to me, but I don’t need to see her face to know.The bond is pulsing with something fierce. Raw power floods through it like a wave crashing into my chest. It’s so much, I have to brace myself. It’s more than rage. More than justice.It’s like she’s found every shattered piece of herself and rebuilt something unshakable.I’ve seen her angry. I’ve seen her bleeding. I’ve seen her broken.But this? This version of her?It’s terrifying.It’s holy.She turns her head slightl

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 108

    JakeI swing my arm up and drive my elbow into the rogue's jaw, feel the crack of bone under skin. He drops, snarling, but I don’t give him time to get back up. I slam my foot into his ribs, knocking the wind out of him, and I move on before his body even hits the dirt.There’s unrest everywhere. Howls, gunfire, growls, yelling. But something about this chaos isn’t as messy as I expect. There’s rhythm to it. Wolves aren’t lunging blindly. Hunters, the ones with Anastasia, aren’t just killing anything with fur. They’re moving... together. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s not just coordination. It’s trust. Real, unspoken trust. Between species that were raised to kill each other.Only one person could’ve made this happen.Anastasia.I turn, blocking another attack from a rogue, slashing my claw across his chest. He falls back, and I scan the trees, the field, the shadows. But she’s not here.I look again. Nothing.Where the hell is she?I grit my teeth and drop low, dodging a bul
