Maya’s pov

“Hey, we are here,” Nancy announced, pushing the door as she walked into the study. Wishing I had an opportunity to know more about this girl called Rachel, I followed her in. Vince and his beta were sitting in front of the laptop. A map was spread out on the table with markers placed here and there. Mark did this weird raising his eyebrow thing to acknowledge my presence while Vince pretended to be interested in whatever was on the screen.

“Alpha, beta,” I said to greet them.

“I wish you wouldn’t call me that,” Mark mumbled.

My lips curled in amusement. I just shrugged my shoulders and didn’t respond. He and Alpha had insinuated several times over the past three months that I call them by their first names. However, I didn’t see that as fit.

“Have you had your dinner?” beta Mark asked me. From my peripheral vision, I noticed that Vince glanced my way over the top of the laptop. I ignored it. Perhaps he was still embarrassed by what happened earlier.

“Yes,” I said. “It w

  • Dear Alpha. I'm Not Your Mate   Call

    Vince’s pov“Mark, I am putting you in charge of the pack. Remember to update me with every little thing that happens here,” I said as I shook his hand before leaving.“You can count on me, Alpha,” he said. I knew I could trust him. It wasn’t the first time I had to leave the pack on official trips. The difference this time was I was leaving my heart in the pack while I attended the summit. And after she mentioned the possibility of Nathan being involved with the rogues, my heart had been in unrest. I didn’t want to leave until the rogue situation was solved, but the summit wouldn’t be delayed. And not attending it would cause a lot of trouble. I looked at Nancy. “Look after her,” I said.“Say no more, Alpha. I will make sure she is entertained and protected all the time,” she promised.“Alpha, the car is ready.” I glanced at the guards who were dressed in suits to accompany me to the summit. I nodded my head and looked at my betas. “See you all later,” I said, my gaze briefly drift

  • Dear Alpha. I'm Not Your Mate   Overheat

    Maya’s povThere was definitely something in my head, and surges of energy were flowing through my body. I anxiously stared at the exposed skin on my arm. Whenever I saw the wolf shifting, the first thing that happened was fur sprouting on their skin. My heart pounded in my chest as I awaited something to happen.I kind of wished there was a warning before the first shift. Something like my wolf speaking with me before all that happened. But I guess wolves liked dramatic appearances. I looked around. The pack house was a few feet away, but I didn’t know if it was safe to go in there anymore. A wolf in the pack house wasn’t very convenient. Especially since it was my first shift. I slipped my phone into the pocket of my jeans. Oh, right, I was still wearing clothes. I had often seen the clothes being torn or removed during a shift. My lips quivered. Was I supposed to stand stark naked all by myself? Well, that wasn’t how I anticipated my first shift to be. I looked around once again

  • Dear Alpha. I'm Not Your Mate   First Impression

    Maya’s povI was in the training arena. Everything was perfectly fine… well, almost fine. The alpha’s absence was a massive void that no one could fill. Or perhaps it was I who missed him so much. No one else seemed to care that he was gone. I tried to get through all the workouts without thinking about him, but I kept failing at it. My foolish crush on him was to be blamed; there was no doubt about that. When another male with a similar aura as him entered the arena, my heart skipped a beat. I ended up staring at him for quite some time. He had the same ambience and structure as Alpha Vince. The amount of greys in his hair and the random wrinkles near his eyes told tales of his years on earth. Everyone in the arena dropped everything and bowed their heads to show respect to the new wolf. I followed their suit. Although I had never seen him, I knew this new wolf had a lot of respect in the pack. I thought back to the discussion I had heard before Alpha left. Since he had mentioned h

  • Dear Alpha. I'm Not Your Mate   He Lost a Diamond

    Vince’s povWhat? Did he just hang up on me? How could my father be so unreasonable? Maya was my mate. Why couldn’t he let me live my life like I wanted? I bet it was Alpha Gerret’s offer to merge the lands. To me, my mate was worth more. I stared at the phone, wondering if Alpha Gerret knew about what was going on. Rachel had unofficially taken over the alpha office, but Alpha Gerret was still the Alpha since she hadn’t mated yet. In our world, allowing a female to lead a pack without her mate never happened. Perhaps that was why he wanted her to mate with me and had polished the offer with the proposal to merge the lands. I wondered if he would still have the same sentiments if he knew my true soulmate was in the pack and I was waiting for her to turn eighteen.I checked the time. It was already so late at night, but I felt the urgency to contact him about his daughter sparring with Maya, an unshifted female who hadn’t completed her training. I dialled his number and waited. When he

  • Dear Alpha. I'm Not Your Mate   Diva

    Maya’s povJust three days were left for my birthday to arrive. Although Eleanor didn’t converse with me much since that first day, I knew that the thing I felt in my head was my wolf. I spent the past few days mentally preparing for my first shift. I had heard that the pain was excruciating, but I knew I could handle it. As the days passed, I found it easier to keep myself occupied with extra work around the pack house and extra sessions of training. So by dinner time, I would be both famished and exhausted. It was another normal day. Dinnertime had arrived, so I went to the dining room as usual. As I approached the entrance, I heard whispers. “What do we do? We can’t allow them to duel tomorrow. The alpha will kill me.” It was Mark’s voice. Frowning, I pressed myself against the wall to eavesdrop on them. Perhaps it was a little unethical, but I really wanted to know what would make Alpha Vince so mad that he might want to kill his beta. “Come on, he won’t do that,” Nancy said.

  • Dear Alpha. I'm Not Your Mate   Summit

    Vince’s povThe environment was dense. The discussion was about the vampires’ possible attack during the winter. The northern packs were always most at risk since they were located closer to the vampire territory. Their attacks were so random, but since they hadn’t attacked for over five years, we didn’t know what to expect. The newest concern was the rumours of the vampires spreading out to the southern parts of the forest too. It was said that they had been lying low for the past five years so they could surround the wolf packs and launch a mass attack on all of us. They were just hearsay since we didn’t have any proof. But it was so terrifying that they made all wolves stay vigilant at all times.Alpha Gerret and his mate were whispering among themselves while seated across from me. I couldn’t help but smile to myself. Mark had called the last night and informed me about what happened in the meeting with Rachel. Despite Alpha Gerret ignoring my request, the duel was not going to h

  • Dear Alpha. I'm Not Your Mate   Right Choice

    Chad's povA pang of jealousy tugged at my chest when he declared her as his. Yes, I rejected her on the spot without a second thought. I truly believed that it was a mistake. I just knew smart and beautiful Alana was the one for me. That was the reason I announced her as my mate and marked her before I left for the Alpha training. I was confident that I had made the right choice, but when the new Alphas who joined the training with me started to swoon about their fated ones, I couldn’t help but think about her. According to them, fate couldn’t be mistaken. If someone was mated with you, it was for a good reason. Even if we couldn’t understand why, it is our duty to accept it wholeheartedly. Although I didn’t openly deny their claims, I was sure mine was a mistake. That was until I returned from the training and started to lead Moonshine with Alana by my side. The first few weeks were fine. But as the days passed by, I realised that she spent too much time on the less important thin

  • Dear Alpha. I'm Not Your Mate   Shift

    Maya’s povFor everyone else, it was just another night, but for me, it was the night I had been waiting for my whole life. As the whole pack house lay still as midnight approached, I lay awake staring at the wall clock as the minutes ticked away. I didn’t try to suppress the smile curling on my lips. It was finally time for me to become a wolf.With my heart fluttering in my chest, I sat on my bed. Once the clock struck twelve, it would be my birthday, and during the next twenty-four hours, I would have my first shift. I didn’t know when. I had seen some wolves transform into their beasts in the morning and some in the evening. It was a pity that I didn’t know if I was in the morning or night. If I did, I would know what to expect.I wasn’t sleepy, so I walked towards the balcony in the room and gazed into the sky. It was a beautiful night with the full moon illuminating the sky. The star-studded sky looked like a dark cloth embedded with tiny diamonds. I smiled and took a breath. Gr

  • Dear Alpha. I'm Not Your Mate   Blessed

    Maya’s povI raised my eyebrows, a little surprised. I thought he wouldn’t see that, and it all would once again become a memory, just like all the other times. I thought I would probably end up thinking it was an illusion or something I could never prove happened. This time, my mate saw it happen. It was real. “That happened, didn’t it?” I mumbled. He nodded his head. “I knew you were close. My wolf and I could sense your presence but couldn’t pinpoint your location until you emerged out of the bushes. Then I saw you frantically waving your hands and then the branch flying towards Chad. You didn’t touch it.”My eyebrows wrinkled together. “Yeah… I honestly don’t know how that happened. It just happened,” I told him, shrugging my shoulders. “Is this the first time?” he asked me.I shook my head. “The first time was during the battle against the rogues. The second time was when I saw the arrow approaching me the other day. I thought my mind was playing tricks on me. But now that you

  • Dear Alpha. I'm Not Your Mate   In One Piece

    Maya’s povThough she appeared to be confused, she offered a smile as she walked closer to me. Her demeanour spoke volumes. She didn’t expect to find me here, and she most certainly wasn’t hostile towards me. “Luna Maya! What a surprise,” she said. “What are you doing in this lonely shed? This was built to store random stuff…” Her frown deepened. “Actually… why are you in Moonshine? Shouldn’t you be in Silverstone unless you are on an official visit?”Her gaze drifted towards my bruised wrists. Although the red marks were fading away – thanks to the super healing power – there were signs of my struggle against the iron chains. Her eyes found mine once again. Perhaps something dawned on her. Her frown disappeared and her lips parted. “Wait…” she said, lunging towards the door I just ran out of. After swinging the door open, she looked inside. She must have seen the chains and the bed and realised that the place didn’t contain any stored items. Perhaps it was built for that purpose, b

  • Dear Alpha. I'm Not Your Mate   Scared Puppy

    Maya’s povIf Eleanor hadn’t been there for me, I would have gone insane in that lonely place. I was glad she was there to knock sense into me so that I didn’t exhaust myself screaming for Chad to come back. Instead, I put my strength into trying to break free. The chains seemed to be made up of iron, and if the drug hadn’t weakened her, she would have been able to break it. She needed time to heal… something I probably didn’t have. I didn’t know when he would return. And I dreaded a time he would attempt to touch me again. I was afraid that he might try to force himself on me. I have come to one realisation after talking to him. He was eager to mate with me. An arsehole. Was sex the only thing on most men's minds? Did they see us only as that? Objects to be used and discarded when they were done? I genuinely felt bad for Alana. She had foolishly allowed that douchebag into her life. As time passed, I started to get weak and hungry. My stomach grumbled. I pressed my lips together a

  • Dear Alpha. I'm Not Your Mate   Treason

    Vince’s povHe didn’t concede, and I sent a mind link to my beta and all the generals that he was removed from power until further notice. Was it easy? Absolutely not. I hated having to send that mind link. But would I do it again for my mate’s sake? Abso-fuckin-lutely yes! It was the right thing to do. He shouldn’t have harmed my mate and the pack’s luna.He protested when he realised that he was no longer allowed in the office, but it had to be done. I could no longer trust him. He would thwart any attempts to find out where my mate was as long as he was able to collaborate closely with the warriors. Pay attention to him. Until we have concrete evidence, we cannot put him in jail. Until I discover evidence against him, he will continue to be treated and respected as the former alpha, but keep an eye on him. I want to see who he contacts, where he goes… everything,” I told my beta as we watched him leave the pack house. “I sure will, Alpha. Do you think he might do something to Jer

  • Dear Alpha. I'm Not Your Mate   Captured

    Maya’s povAs soon as I opened my eyes, I jerked up. Unfortunately, I was chained to a bed. The chains weren’t silver. That was a relief. I guess Eric didn’t want to torture me. Not yet, at least. It was a wonder why he kept me alive this whole time. Well, it was time to escape before he returned. While tugging at the chains that confined me, I surveyed the niche. There weren’t any windows, and the only door seemed to be locked from outside. I didn’t expect him to leave it unlocked even if I was chained up. He wasn’t reckless. My escape would mean the end for him. The absence of windows made escape difficult. It was one thing to break the chains, but I had to come up with a plan to get out of the confinement.Eleanor stirred in my mind. My heart fluttered with excitement. When I lost her after being shot in the woods, I was so worried. “Eleanor!” My excitement was evident as I called out for her. I was so glad that whatever he injected me with didn’t put my wolf to sleep forever. “G

  • Dear Alpha. I'm Not Your Mate   Where Is She?

    Vince’s povI slowly opened my eyes. I had to wince a few times before I got used to the light as it filtered through my eyelashes. It did not take me long to realise that I was on a hospital bed with an IV. My forehead wrinkled. Oh, yeah… the arrow. It must have caused a lot of trouble. I looked around, hoping to catch a glimpse of my mate. She wasn’t there. What bothered me was that I wasn’t able to detect a whiff of her scent either. Although my wolf didn’t say a word, I could tell that he was disturbed about her absence. There wasn’t even a tiny hint of her aura in the blocked room. It was almost as though she never stepped inside it. I sighed. I wanted to believe that she was held back at the pack house because of the duties. With me in the hospital, all responsibilities would fall on her shoulders. The door of the hospital bed opened, and my beta walked in. His lips stretched into a broad smile as soon as he saw me. “Alpha! You are awake!” I smiled at him. “Hey, good to see

  • Dear Alpha. I'm Not Your Mate   Want Her

    Chad’s povA white wolf... She was a white wolf. I couldn’t believe I rejected a white wolf. Who would have thought that her wolf, of all wolves, would be white? Ever since I found out that she was one, I regretted my rejection. Alana was fine. She lacked experience in the office but was spectacular in bed. I didn’t mind having her. But a white wolf? Being mated to one was a dream. White wolves were the most special since they were so rare. I heard that the royals were all white, but we only heard stories about them. By the time I started to walk, they were all killed. Few white wolves still lived in the north, but they didn’t have special powers like the royals. Either way, white wolves were considered special. Some elders claim that they are the descendants of the Royal family.And to think that I rejected one…My fingers clenched around the steering wheel as I sped down the deserted road. The headlight of my car illuminated the lonely woods. I was well outside my pack’s territory

  • Dear Alpha. I'm Not Your Mate   Why...

    Maya’s povI knew I couldn’t trust him. But I didn’t have a good reason to push him out of my life. Especially when my mate was happy about him making an effort. Unfortunately, my mate was too blinded by his respect and love for his father to see what I saw. The best I could do was keep my guard high. I didn’t expect him to find the one behind the arrow. Why would he do that? I bet he was the one who aimed that deadly spear at me. We continued with our daily routines. Early morning workouts, training, and then work in the office. Eric joined us every day. During every training session, he was there, helping my mate and his beta. It irked me at first. Being surrounded by his aura was unnerving, perhaps because I didn’t trust him. I hid my resentment for the sake of my mate. After all, his father’s advice seemed to help my beloved. Eric’s years of experience would benefit our pack. That was another reason I kept silent as long as he was helping out.As the days passed by, I started to

  • Dear Alpha. I'm Not Your Mate   Arrow

    Maya’s povMy eyes widened and my heart picked up its pace. I didn’t realise what I was doing when I raised my hand. It was just a reflex. To my utter surprise, the arrow stopped and dropped at my feet. Shocked, I stared at it for a while. It took some time to register what had happened. “What? An arrow! Guards! Scour the area! Find out who did this!” Vince snarled, shielding me with his body. My gaze was still fixated on the fallen arrow, wondering what just happened. “Did we just stop it?” I asked my wolf. “We did, didn’t we?”My lips pursed together. I was glad that I was faster than Vince. Had I been late even a split second, he would have shielded me with his body, hurting himself. Vince turned towards me, grabbing my hand “Are you okay? You stopped it with your hand! Did it hurt?” he asked.I shook my head, still finding it hard to wrap my head around what just happened. Perhaps from their perspective it appeared as though I deflected the arrow with my bare hand, but the tru
