LOGINAlexandra POV“Stop!” I yelled.He stopped just two feet from us. He balled his hands into iron fists and ground his teeth to the point of scraping off a layer.“You’re crazy if you think you can leave a vacant spot and another male wouldn’t want to take it up. Just look at her!”Azeal slapped a hand on my hip.Geez, I’m trying to save him here!“I’m going to kill you!” Enzo roared.I ran out of Azeal’s grip and slammed my palms into Enzo’s chest to keep him from doing something awful.“He’s helping me!” I shouted.“Helping you? Ugh, Alexandra! Yesterday it was another male, and today it’s Azeal. What are you trying to do to me?”I frowned. “How do you know I was with another male yesterday?”“I’m your fated mate! I felt the presence of another wolf with my mate!”“Oh, fuck off, Enzo. I’m always around her. You sensed another male,” Azeal snapped.“There’s no reason for you to be around a mated she-wolf. Are you insane?” Enzo demanded.“Is she your mate? She looks pretty single to me,
Alexandra POVXavier parked in front of Emmie’s apartment. Azeal’s incognito black SUV was parked up the road.He used it because he didn’t want anyone to know he was hanging around Emmie’s apartment.“I can feel how weak your wolf’s getting. It’s getting worse every day, isn’t it?” Xavier asked.I sucked in a breath. “I’m fine.”“You’re not. Mates aren’t meant to be separated.”I scoffed. “You’ve tried to separate me from my mate. You even marked me.”“What I tried to do has no relevance to what’s happening right now. Fated mates aren’t meant to be separated like this. It’s very common for wolves to lose control and suffer from wolf sickness.”“Wolf sickness?” I asked, my heart pounded so hard. “What’s that?”“It’s a rare wolf disease. The wolf suffers so much that it makes the human sick. It’s not treated with human medicine. Oftentimes, the only solution is finding another mate.”I scowled. “Hell no.”“You really want him to tell you he doesn’t want you?” Xavier barked.I popped th
Alexandra POV“I’m glad you’re interning at the pack hospital. It’s better than where I’m interning,” Emmie moaned. “The pack recycling centre! It smells like ogre feet there!”I nearly choked on my water. “Definitely not the best place for a shifter with heightened senses to work.”“Finally, someone who gets it,” she groaned and closed the fridge.“Isn’t there anywhere else you can work? The University always has internships available.”“The pack house has positions, but… they’re all going to see me as the girl who ended the Alpha’s engagement and stopped the pack from having a Luna.”I touched my best friend’s hand and smiled. “The Golden Paw pack will have a Luna very soon.”Her eyes widened. “Oh my gosh, do you know something?”I winked. Azeal was crazy about her, but he’s a Class-A idiot. All he needs is a burst of courage to mate with her.“Anyway, the hospital isn’t great. The hours are long, and the workload is intense. I barely have the energy for it. I don’t know how I’m goi
Alexandra POV“Hey, Azeal and I are going out. Do you want to come?” Emmie asked; she popped into my room wearing a fabulous red dress that showed off her lovely legs.“What?” Azeal asked from behind her.She turned to him. “I’m not going to let her spend the night alone!”“Why not?”I chuckled and shut my textbook. “You guys go ahead. I’ve got a lot of schoolwork to catch up on. At least I can still look forward to graduating.”Emmie frowned. “School work on a Friday night? No, Alex. Come with us. You need fresh air. This isn’t good for you.”“I’m not going to crash your date night. I’ll be fine…” Even though I’m far from fine.I can’t get him out of my head.“Leave Alex alone, Emmie. I got good seats to the show, and I don’t want them to be snatched up.”Emmie glared at Azeal.“She’s going through a lot right now!” She scolded.Azeal sighed. “You’re right. I’m being insensitive, but it’s all going to be fine when you confront Enzo at the Supreme Court’s ball.”I fought the urge to c
Enzo POV“The last few days have been perfect, Enzo. The pack’s running smoothly, and the Shifter region is in perfect harmony,” my mother said.My daughter smiled on the couch in the corner. “Absolutely great, but can you reduce my workload? I’ve got a social life too dad.”“Now, Faye, you wanted that title, and now you have it,” my ex said.“There’s always room to make changes mom,” Faye replied with amusement that made my skin crawl.I can’t believe I let these three women control me like a puppet, and my mother was the mastermind behind this.“Let’s talk about the ball, the Supreme Council’s ball for Nova this upcoming weekend. We’re all expected to attend, especially you, Enzo.”I snorted. “I don’t do balls.”“Oh, this time you will. You need to get to know Nova. I’m in talks with her council for a very powerful political alliance that will strengthen both our packs, especially after the fiasco we all survived.”The fiasco they helped create? A betrayed wolf was just as bad as a
Alexandra POV“Get out of bed, Alexandra! We have school and internships this week.” Emmie tugged at my blanket, but I held onto it for dear life.“Leave me alone.”“You have such a tight grip! Get out of bed, Alex.”Emmie dropped the blanket and planted her hands on her hips. She puffed out her cheeks and groaned.“Do I have to beg for you to get out of bed? You’re stronger than me now I can’t drag you out.”“Just leave me here to rot,” I mumbled.It’s been three days since I left the hospital. Three agonising days since my mate walked out of the hospital and never came back. He didn’t call me or text me. He put up a wall between us! I haven’t heard from him or seen him.I couldn’t go to his pack because his mother banished me when she was Luna. The second I got onto his land the beta army would know and they could kil
Alexandra POVEmmie hadn’t stopped texting me about her encounter with Azeal. She went from furious to worried that he’d speak to her mother. She could handle a cocky mother, but a mother with high expectations and a sharp tongue was draining.She was still texting me when my shift ended. I welcome
Enzo POV“I don’t understand you, Enzo. What’s going on? Her own pack has no hope in her. Have her taken to the dungeon,” Cindi said.I clenched my jaw. That’s not happening“Listen, guys, I need you to head back to the pack house. We can’t all be here at the same time. We still have visitors from
Alexandra POVThe hoodlum threw me into a guest room and shut the door. Inside were two other guards, a woman sat on the edge of the queen-size bed, my ex-boyfriend and Faye.I exhaled deeply.“What’s this about?” I demanded.Luna Eleanor dusted her wrist. “Straight to the point, I like that. You’r
Enzo POV “Enzo, I didn’t attack her!”I shoved my palms into my palms. “She needed stitches and has a nose fracture.”“I-I didn’t start it. She saw the bracelet and— Wait, my bracelet. I don’t have it.” She patted her blanket and sheets, but came up empty.My fingers curled around the cool metal.
