The wolves come from all around, and they all come to me. There must be a hundred of them and they're growling and snarling. They're hungry for the kill and they're all coming to get me.

I try to speak, but I'm in too much pain.

"What are we going to do?" I ask.

The wolves stop, and I realize they're standing in a circle around me.

"Well," I say. "It's not like I'm in any condition to defend myself."

The wolves stare at me, confused.

"There's no honor in that sort of killing. No fun, either," I continue.

I don't know what I'm saying. I don't know where this bravery is coming from. I definitely don't know if it's going to work, but I have to try something, and with my body too weak to fight, strategy is all I've got.

"So, here's what I propose," I say. "Take me to your alpha. Make sure he really wants you to kill me like this-- when I'm wounded and can't defend myself. I wouldn't want you to make a misstep and anger him."

The wolves look at each other. They're obviousl

  • Desired by the Alpha   CHAPTER THIRTY TWO

    MARLA’S POVI’m unsure of what to believe and think. My mind is so hazy that I can’t seem to pick out the truth among the lies. And I want to believe in the best of people.I truly want the drama between Rachel and I to be over. I want to put it all in the past and move forward. I want to be happy with Nicholas without all of this nonsense hanging over our heads.Maybe in order to do so, I need to forgive Rachel. And hopefully she’ll let go of all of this. Hopefully she’ll find her own mate some day and leave us alone.Despite all she’s done, I don’t believe anyone is beyond redemption. So, I accept the cupcake.Then, I notice it. Nicholas hesitates in the doorway, hoping Rachel and I are having a moment to make up. But I suddenly don’t think that’s what Rachel wants.As I bring the cupcake to my lips, I see it in her eyes. They’re gleaming. They’re scheming. I hesitate.“You know, I’d hate to eat this alone.” I say, bringing the cupcake down from my mouth and splitting it in

  • Desired by the Alpha   CHAPTER THIRTY ONE

    MARLA’S POVI’m in so much pain, my wounds are aching, leaving me delirious. But once Nicholas returns, I feel a bit better. Everything is better when he’s near me. I know he’s my mate, and I want him more than anything. I desperately want him to feel the same way. I can’t imagine living my life without him.Hope flutters within me as I see him though. I see the way he’s looking at me, and it’s almost like he wants me as much as I want him. “I’m so sorry for leaving you,” Nicholas says as he drops down to my side. “It’s okay,” I tell him. “I know you had to go check on Rachel.”My heart aches at the thought of him with her. I can’t let him go, despite how much this all hurts me. I can’t seem to move on from him. He’s my mate and my life won’t be the same without him in it.“Rachel is fine,” Nicholas says. “She was just manipulating me, and I realize she has been manipulating me all along.”Nicholas looks like he’s in pain, and I want to help him. I want to ease him of this b

  • Desired by the Alpha   CHAPTER THIRTY

    NICHOLAS’S POVI don't want to leave Marla, but I have to. I can't just refuse to check on Rachel. Plus, Marla's wounds have been tended to. She'll be okay without me. I'm not sure the same can be said for Rachel."I'll be right back," I say.She's too weak to speak, but she squeezes my hand lightly. My heart leaps at her touch."I'll take you to her," the beta says, jolting me back to reality. I take one last look at Marla before standing up to follow him.He takes me to a tree about 100 yards away. I'm surprised to see Rachel sitting up against it. Her jacket has been wrapped around her, and one of the betas is tending to her. He's cleaning her wounds, and he looks up at me and nods."She'll be fine," he says. "The wounds aren't deep. She'll heal in a few days.""Oh," I say, surprised. "That's great."I stare at Rachel, confused. From the way they were speaking, I thought she was dying. I didn't expect her to be so... okay."I can take care of her wounds," I tell the bet

  • Desired by the Alpha   CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

    NICHOLAS’S POVI'm fighting the other alpha, and in an instant, I realize he's stronger than me. He's older, and he's more experienced. I'm fighting him even though I know I can't win.I have no choice. I am the alpha, and this is what an alpha does. This is my destiny. I fight hard, slashing and biting at him with my teeth. I'm trying my best to rip him apart, but I know he's doing the same to me. We're not just fighting for control of the land; we're fighting for our lives.And I'm losing. I feel myself getting tired. I'm getting tired, and he's just getting stronger. If this goes on much longer, I'll be dead. I know it.Strangely, though, I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid of death. I'm not afraid of the other pack, or of the battle. The only thing that scares me-- the only thing I'm afraid of-- is the thought of never seeing Marla again. And I hate myself for that.And then, suddenly, as if from nowhere, she's here, charging the alpha and telling him to let me go. I can't

  • Desired by the Alpha   CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT

    The other pack's alpha is huge, even bigger than Nicholas. He looks like he's at least twice his size. He's flanked by several other wolves, and they're all moving quickly.I can hear the sound of their growls growing louder as they approach. They're running full speed towards Nicholas, and I know they mean to attack.I watch as they come closer and closer. I know there's nothing I can do to stop it. And suddenly, I realize that there's a good chance the fight will be fatal.I look at Nicholas, standing there beside Rachel. He's staring straight at the other pack. He looks calm, almost apathetic. His eyes are focused on the alpha, but he doesn't seem too concerned.He's confident he can handle this. But he shouldn't be. I can't take my eyes off of him. I wish I could know what's going through his mind, but I know I can't. I'm so afraid for him."These woods are off-limits," the alpha of the other pack growls. "You know that."I'm surprised at the sound of his voice. It's deep,

  • Desired by the Alpha   CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN

    I have to talk to Nicholas. I know he said he doesn't want to talk to me, but I have to. I have to make him hear me.I can't let him marry Rachel. I just can't. Not after the way she's lied and manipulated him. Manipulated both of us. Even if he wasn't my true mate, I wouldn't be able to just stand by and watch it happen.But he is my true mate. He's the love of my life. He's the man I've always been waiting for. And I know that he'd be happy if he could just get rid of her. If he could just let go of his stupid pride for a minute and take me back.But he won't. I know it. I know he'll do the right thing and marry her-- not because he wants to, but because he said he would. I know his sense of duty will force him to do it.But I can't let him. He doesn't need to do it. I can make him happy. I know I can. I just have to get him away from her. And to do that, I just need him to agree to talk to me.The problem is, I don't know how. I just need him to know it. I just need him to kn
