LOGINAlexandra POV“What the hell happened?”Enzo barged into the kitchen where I had my feet in a bucket of ice water. Blaze stood behind me while my best friend paced the length of the massive kitchen nervously.“Wolf’s bane? How could that happen?” Enzo demanded.“Your mother, that’s how,” Blaze grumbled. “She’s in pretty bad shape.”“Why?” Enzo clutched at his hair. “Why the hell would she do this of all days?!”“It’s my fault,” I mumbled.“Hey, why would you say that?” Blaze asked softly.“Yeah, cub, you didn’t make her try to kill you,” my mate added.“What if I wasn’t even the target, Enzo? Your mother suffered a lot, too, and she thinks I’m the catalyst for why she lost everything.”Enzo knelt in front of me and took my hands. “You are in no way to blame for my mother’s actions. Everyone can blame me if they want.”Tears sprang to my eyes. “Our only crime was loving each other, huh?”He brushed a tear from my cheek. “My beautiful mate, you’re in no shape for a mating ceremony.”“Wh
Alexandra POVThree Weeks Later I put down the makeup brush and stared at myself in the mirror.“Okay, so my mating ceremony’s today.”“You’re telling me! I can’t believe this day is finally here. Do you think you should pinch me?” Emmie shot up from the queen-size bed behind me.“You’re the one who’s supposed to pinch me!”“Sorry! It’s not like my best friend gets married every day.”Emmie went MIA before Enzo and left the pack for much-needed mate time. I understood my best friend’s need to get away, though. She’d just been told the man she loved with her entire being wasn’t her father, and her mother refused to entertain the topic.What more could a girl do other than escape her problems until they didn’t hurt so much?“Alex, I wish I could stay and watch you finish your make-up, but I have to make sure the guys aren’t getting drunk.”Heat rushed to my cheeks. “You think Enzo’s drunk?”Emmie’s eyes went wide. “No, no! That’s not what I mean. Don’t panic! Just stay here and finish
Alexandra POV“What are you looking for, Alexandra?” Enzo mumbled as he cut into his steak.Alpha Jeffery must have travelled a long way to deliver his threat I doubted he would leave so easily. I looked around the fancy hotel restaurant. I couldn’t see him anywhere, but I did see a lot of happy faces.A few couples on dates like us, and families on larger tables. I admired the way the women watched their children eat and cleaned them up when they made a mess.It warmed my heart.“Cub?” Enzo said, setting his fork and knife down.“Are you avoiding someone, Enzo?” I asked.He leaned back in his seat. “Don’t think so?”I narrowed my eyes. He was keeping things to himself again.My foot slipped out of my shoes and slithered up his legs.“We agreed no more secrets, Alpha.”He tugged on his collar and cleared his throat. “Here?”“The tables are covered. No one will see,” I teased. I dragged my toes inside his calf and moved up to his thigh, and let my foot rest there. He adjusted himself a
Alexandra POVEnzo stared out at the window of our hotel room. We arrived yesterday after Enzo’s massive announcement to the Onyx pack.“What’s out there?” I asked.“Trouble’s always out there,” he grumbled.I chuckled. “Take off your Alpha hat, Enzo!”“I can’t do that. This is my pack too. Jason is just taking care of it for me. He’s one of the highest paid tribe pack Alphas.”Just like other Alphas Enzo had conquered other packs. They couldn’t join them with their main packs because it was geographically impossible and it was more expensive to move an entire pack to a new location so they paid other high-ranking wolves to become Alphas and look after the pack on their behalf.“The Bane Pack is beautiful. Why don’t you leave the window and join me before dinner?”He turned the top half of his body towards me.I traced my fingertips on my inner thigh, keeping my gaze on him.“Cub…”“This vacation is for us to spend time together with minimal clothes.”Sexual tensions knotted in his sh
Alexandra POV“I must have committed some sort of crime,” I mumbled.“Yeah, Alex, it was illegal. No one has been able to do that for years!” He threw his arms in the air. “What were you thinking?”I wrapped my arms around myself and winced as I disrupted my cuts and bruises.“I don’t know, okay?”“Why the fuck didn’t you just let me handle it? Don’t you think I can handle my own daughter?”“I’m sorry, Enzo,” my voice cracked. “It’s not just about you. She just… makes me so mad.”“I was trying to defend you, too!” He roared.The whole damn pack house would know we were arguing.I could barely look at him. I’d never heard of locking wolves. However, it was an ancient practice done to punish the most violent and wayward wolves. It’s not as malicious as detaching a wo
Alexandra POVIt’s very hard to separate two buckling men in high heels, and the guards were too busy trying to keep Faye at bay, so I was pretty much alone in this one.“Enzo, you’re going to seriously hurt him!” I yelled.I clawed him off Nash after he landed a blow to the gut. “That’s the point,” he spat.“Ouch, look at your face,” I said, brushing the blood off his bottom lip.Enzo panted heavily. “How could you do this, man?”Nash rolled onto his back and groaned. “I just didn’t want you to send her away. It’s not right.”“You know what she’s done.”“It was never serious, right, Faye?” Sybil stated.Faye stared at Nash straight in the eyes. “Of course not. Do you have any idea who the hell I am?”“Enough of this, put her in the car and take her to the ball.”“No!” Faye shouted.Her foot came down hard on the guard’s boot and dug her talons into the other guard’s face. They fell on opposite ends.“No!” I gasped.“I’m not going to fight you, Faye. The only way you leave this proper
Alexandra POV“My bed,” Enzo replied.“Huh?”He turned and marched down the short hall. I followed him. His room was the size of my studio, excluding the shower and walk-in closet.“This room could be two rooms. You don’t need all this space,” I stated.“Of course I do.”The room had a massive king
Alexandra POV“Just come home, Alex, please. He’s tearing up the place looking for you. I’ve been worried sick, too.”“I’m coming home.”I hung up and tucked the phone in my bag.“I have to go,” I whispered, avoiding his eyes.He stepped in front of me and stopped me from going any further.“Xavier
Alexandra POV“Please be okay,” I pleaded as I ran towards him.How did that tree just fall without a storm or a breath of wind?“Get back!” Enzo growled.“There’s a tree on you!”The veins in his neck bulged against his skin as he struggled to push the thick tree trunk off him. The end of the tree
Alexandra POVI lived to see another day in this region, but the clock was ticking. The meeting was dismissed, but in reality, I was the only one who was told to get out. The council continued to debate the matter.“They really don’t want me here,” I
