Chapter 7

Ana

It wasn't easy lying to my dad, who was the alpha of all alphas. Brett Dex Donovan had a strong intuition and remarkable hearing and sensing abilities. Courtney and Dylan tried their best to convince him, but my father still refused to believe why I had returned. He knew I was proud of going to college and having some independence before pack business took over.

"I don't believe you Ana." He inquired with a questioning voice. Even though he didn't use his alpha voice, I could tell I was pushing his patience.

"Tell me why you came back. You love school, being independent—it makes little sense. If you don't answer me, I will use my Alpha voice."

His tone changed from angry to concerned in an instant, and I couldn’t take it anymore; I collapsed on the floor, screaming in agony and crying uncontrollably. In a flash, he scooped me up in his arms and brought me to the sofa, holding me as I continued to sob.

“Honey, what happened? Didn't Courtney and Dylan take care of you?”

I struggle to speak through my sobs as I explain that this has nothing to do with my Beta and Gamma. It's all because of me - or Alex  - but I can't defy my father any longer. He'll find out eventually. I try to regain my composure, though the pain of losing someone I love and feeling betrayed is like a blade slicing into me.

My dad is running his fingers through my hair and whispering comforting words in my ear. Finally, I summon up the courage to tell him: “I think I've found my mate, Dad.”

Crying has weakened my voice and plastered my hair to my face with tears.

“That's great news, dear. Who is he?”

When I don’t respond, he gets worried.

“Ana, what did he do? I need to know now.” His voice was loud enough for the entire room to hear it. His body shifted from relaxed to tense, and his alpha power was growing stronger than his rage escalated. ”Speak up! I want to know so I can make it right.” Spittle flew from his lips like a rabid wolf. He began pacing around the room, and Dylan and Courtney shrank away in submission. - it was clear that his alpha energy was more powerful than I had initially thought. As an alpha myself, I could challenge him further without consequence, but I also knew that I would be in deep trouble if I didn't tell him soon. All I wanted was to protect Alex from any harm.

He calms down and I tell him about my intuition pushing me to Dylan and Star, and how the wolf immediately liked and accepted him. I also explain our connection, ending with the fact that he's human.

"But Ana," my dad cuts in, "a lot of wolves have human mates. It can be alright if it's properly managed. Even if you're an Alpha's daughter, your mate can learn to lead the pack."

I sigh.

"That would be great if it was the only issue..." I'm not sure how to explain Alex's terrible behavior before Courtney chimes in again: "Wait—he cheated on her. Why would she still want a cheating mate?"

"HE WHAT?!"

I know I can't reason with my dad when he's angry. It takes only a few seconds before he transforms into his huge black wolf, and his gold eyes tell me that Scar is in control. When someone changes in rage into their animal form, the instinctive senses of the beast take over, leaving me to choose between fighting or running. Before I even have time to consider my options, my father jumps out of the window and runs off into the forest. Dylan eventually carries me to my bedroom and places me on my bed. Courtney sits next to me while Dylan talks to someone. All I remember after that is being cocooned in darkness until morning when I open my eyes. A familiar scent fills the room,—my ex-boyfriend Max—standing beside me, looking at me with both pity and concern; yet there was something else in his eyes—hope, perhaps?

Max embraced me, and I took a deep breath of his scent. It was comforting inhaling the smell of my loved one in a time of distress. Star purred contentedly, always having had a fondness for Max.

"Show me the man who has the nerve to treat you like that, Ana," Max said.

Though I wanted no more drama, Dylan was determined to exact revenge on my behalf. He pulled out his phone and searched for him on I*******m before I could protest.

"No, Dylan don’t do it!"

He replied, "The fool deserves anything coming his way. Ana, I was there; I saw everything. He's an asshole who deserves to be punished."

“Please, I just want to forget. “ My sentence hung incomplete when Dylan showed me an I*******m post where Alex had been tagged. The caption reads, “Say congrats to the newly engaged couple,” and there is a photo of Alex and Shauna.

My throat is parched, my heart surging, and I feel disconnected from reality. My head is spinning and my body aches with loss. With one look at my father that has return, though, I am made aware that this matter is far worse than I expected. His eyes are a solid gold, evidence that his wolf is fighting for dominance over him again.

And then he says the words that will haunt me forever:

“A goddamn Sullivan! Your mate is a Sullivan! He's not human!!” he bellows loud enough for all members of the pack to hear his authoritative voice calling for justice. The darkness takes hold of me once more, and this time I pray it never releases me again.

  • Forever Mine   Chapter 40

    Chapter 40 Ana The wolf that stood before me was a sight to behold. Max, my chosen mate, was beautiful in his own right, but this animal was breathtaking. His fur was silver grey, and his eyes were crystal blue. He towered over me, his aura nearly bringing me to my knees. It was apparent he was an alpha, the leader of a pack. Alex's family history had always been shrouded in mystery. When I met his father for the first time, I could tell he was a high-ranking wolf despite being a rogue. Perhaps he once belonged to a pack before leaving and setting out on his own. Then again, maybe Alex's mother had something to do with it all. When Alex returned to Montana and reunited with me. Something shifted within him. The final straw broke Blade free from whatever held him back was when I flirted with Mr. Giovanni––it set Blade free to be with me instead. Blade approached me carefully, almost like he didn't want to startle me. It made me smile; after all, I was an Alpha just like him, althoug

  • Forever Mine   Chapter 39

    Chapter 39 Alex Ana's kindness and selflessness astounded me; she was offering something so amazing. No matter what happened, I knew there was no way I'd leave her. Afterwards, I called my dad, and it was an unhappy conversation. He was yelling, demanding and threatening me to return right away - or else. Or else what? Would he disown me? There were no limits for him; whatever he wanted, he did. It boggled my mind that my mother ever found him attractive. He was wild, delusional, and fanatical in his beliefs: that he was invincible. I shared everything with Ana. No more secrets for us. We committed to spending the rest of our lives together, and though I wasn't thrilled about sharing her with Max, that was an issue for another day. We spent the rest of my first shift preparing, and Blade said we were fortunate to have each other accompanying us. When she told me the timing of her shift, something within me ached. She shifted early, not only because my father threatened to harm her,

  • Forever Mine   Chapter 38

    Chapter 38 AnaAlex's words were clipped and concise. As soon as Shauna answered the phone, he informed her that their engagement was off - a fact which didn't sit well with her. She shouted curses and threats at him, me and everyone he cared about. It was difficult to listen to, though she had it coming. She ranted about a supposed baby she was expecting; pure fiction. I knew for certain she wasn't pregnant, having smelled her scent again at the club with Courtney. Alex promised me he had never slept with Shauna. He recalled only one instance two years prior but said maybe he confused her for me on the night of the party when they hooked up. According to him, someone may have drugged him that evening. I believe him. People have been trying to keep us apart for some dumb reasons. Alex seemed relieved yet worried when he hung up the phone, but I still felt insecure about the way he hurt me. I was a mess and put on a face of being okay, though I hadn't been since that night when every

  • Forever Mine   Chapter 37

    Chapter 37 AlexI sensed her presence and smelled her perfume even before she tapped on the door. Somehow, I was aware of her entrance as soon as she stepped into the building. My dormant werewolf characteristics came to life—my suppressed feelings and instincts rose, giving me a sense of strength, but also making me uncertain about many things. One thing I was certain of, it was Ana. My love; my soulmate. From the moment I met Ana, I felt an overwhelming connection to her that surpassed anything I had ever encountered before. It all made sense now, knowing what I know. She belonged to me. When I heard her footfalls in the hallway, I swiftly checked myself in the mirror and made sure my appearance didn't disappoint. I wanted her to feel for me as intensely as I did for her. But if there was something I could sense from Ana, it was that she was unsure. I was sure that I wanted to be with Ana, either alone or sharing her with Max. I made the most of our time together and learn as mu

  • Forever Mine   Chapter 36

    Chapter 36 Ana Max was instantly furious when I explained my plan and promise to Alex. He must have thought I was going to leave him, but after I reassured him, he became more concerned about my health. Everyone knew the danger of taking in another mate—except for Alex. After talking to both men, I went back home to take a few moments for myself. The more I thought about it, the clearer it became that there was no other way: I wanted them both, and the full moon - just a couple of days away - would be the deadline. Time was quickly slipping away. As I made my way to the apartment, I had plenty of other things on my mind; Shauna and, as well as Mr. Giovanni and his mob. Of course, Alex's father would be a problem for later. By now I was about to start alpha training, something I was quite eager to do. To be a good pack leader, I had to know how to lead, fight and use tactical strength. I believed it was the mob which caused the infiltration in our pack and our business. I daydreamed

  • Forever Mine   Chapter 35

    Chapter 35 Ana I’m in a trance-like state when Alex is near me. I lose all sorts of judgment and rationality. He has complete control over me. What have I done? Have I really asked him to be my second mate? It happens occasionally, but usually it’s only between siblings. I haven’t even talked to Max about this. But I’m serious about this. I love Max with all my being. This won't change that. Not being with my fated mate will kill me if I do nothing soon.Yet what I just did was totally irrational. I should have spoken with Max first, but the look of relief on Alex's face, combined with the peace in my heart when I said those words, comforts me somehow. It seems there are no other solutions to resolving this dilemma; it’s that or utter mayhem. I choose my words carefully as I explain to Alex the steps I'll have to take in order to make this work. I need to seek Max's approval first, and that will be difficult given his animosity towards Alex. Even with all the new information that h
