Mia povI never expected to encounter Alpha Walter from the south at the Alpha meeting of the northern packs. I can never forget the worst treatment I received from him. Fortunately, I escaped and almost wiped out his pack. No one knew of my ability to become anyone's mate. I mean, I can disguise my scent. When I collapsed in the Blackstorm Pack, I didn't expect I would meet Alpha Thomas. Alphas often despise Omegas, so I quickly disguised my scent to his mate's. Unexpectedly, he insisted on taking me back to his pack and intended to claim me.I watched his Luna, Eleanor, unable to accept it, and my heart swelled with an indescribable sense of joy. My body had suffered greatly in the Shallowend Pack, so I needed to rest properly in Blackstorm. Once I gained complete control over Thomas, it would be the perfect time to destroy Blackstorm.But an unexpected turn came. I thought I would officially belong to the Blackstorm Pack from today onward, but damned Walter ruined it all. But I was
A while later, Eleanor returned to the house and went to her room. She had hoped going on a little walk would make her feel better, but she was still upset.How much longer was she going to take such treatment from Thomas? She wished she was in the position to divorce him right away. His behaviour towards her was only going to get worse, and she couldn’t bear it.She hadn’t forgotten why she was here, why Selene had offered her a new chance at life. She knew what Thomas was capable of, and she wasn’t here to save their love.But she couldn’t stop her heart from breaking when the man she had loved turned violent against her. She was mad at herself for feeling hurt.It should no longer matter what he said or did. He didn’t love her. She knew that. But her stupid heart was still vulnerable to him. That’s the only reason his earlier outburst hurt her.It would take time to stop getting affected by the memories of their good times, but one thing was sure–she was never looking back.Once sh
“I wonder what this is about,” Sophia commented, walking onto the back porch with an envelope in hand.It was early evening and the two friends were hanging out at the back of the house. The doorbell had rang a few moments ago and Sophia had offered to see who it was.“Why do you have a letter from the university?” Sophia asked, handing Eleanor the envelope and taking a seat. “Do you want to go back to school or something?” she teased.Eleanor looked at the emblem on the envelope. It was indeed a letter from the werewolf university.Tearing the paper, she found a thick card inside. After reading the message, she looked at her best friend. She could barely contain her smile as she said, “They want me to deliver a speech at the graduation ceremony.”Sophia’s eyes widened as she reached for the card. “Are you serious?” Her surprise turned to elation as she read it too. “Wow. This is amazing, Eleanor. I can’t believe this. When was the last time they invited a Luna to make a speech at the
Mia sat in her seat beside Thomas, jealousy swirling through her as she looked at Eleanor on the podium.When she had first found out that Eleanor would be giving the speech, she had hoped Eleanor would make a fool of herself. Instead, the reception to her speech was quite positive, and everyone seemed to be pleased with her.But that wasn’t even the worst part.It was that Thomas didn’t even seem to realise what was going on.That woman was trying to outshine him, and yet he was looking at her with the same captivated expression everyone else around them was.Mia couldn’t stand it. It would be harder to get rid of her if everyone thought Eleanor was the model Luna.“Is she trying to replace you or something?” she muttered to Thomas. “She looks like she wants more to be recognised as Alpha rather than Luna, does she?”Thomas looked at Mia, a small furrow between his eyes. “What? Why would you say that?”“Look at her, talking about herself and everything she has done for the pack. Now,
Eleanor was surprised to find the man who had sneaked up on her was none other than Henry Hudsen.Her fight-response disappeared, replaced by embarrassment. She pushed him away and stepped back, hoping he didn’t notice how she blushed.Damn, what was it with him and making her so flustered? A second ago, she was ready to crush his groin in full defensive mode. But the sight of his face alone and the thought of how close they’d been–even if it had only been for a moment–was enough to send her heart racing.She moved behind her desk and took a seat–the farther away she was from him, the better. “I didn’t figure you for someone who enters people’s houses through windows.”He arched his brow as he perched on the corner of her desk. He was so relaxed, as if he had been inside her office before. “I’m here to discuss your divorce and replacing your husband, and we can’t do that publicly, can we?”No, they couldn’t. She swallowed as she looked up at him. He was wearing a white shirt and a pai
“What are you doing? Where are you going?” Ethan’s wolf, Kyle, demanded as Ethan hurried away from the restaurant’s entrance, headed for the parking lot.Ethan shook his head and kept going.This couldn’t be happening.It had all happened so fast, and his first instinct had been to get the hell out of there. He didn’t even know her, but he knew she wasn’t the one he wanted.“She is our mate!” His wolf was excited. While Ethan wanted to run away, Kyle wanted to go back and claim her. “She is ours.”Ethan heard footsteps behind him then, and he turned to find the woman following him. His entire body went alive again, the way it did a few moments ago inside the restaurant.He felt an invisible, strange force drawing him to her. A force he couldn’t fight, and he hated it.He had never given much thought about finding his mate. At least not after he met Eleanor. The idea of being with another woman, mate or not, never occurred to him. And now, when there was a chance he could get closer to
Henry had expected the night to be eventful from the moment Thomas had said he wanted Mia to join them at dinner.But he hadn’t expected that it would be the night Ethan found his mate. It wasn’t obvious to everyone else around the table, but he found out through the mind link between them.He was happy for Ethan. Not every werewolf got to meet their mate. He could tell from Ethan’s reaction that he was more shocked than elated.Which made sense, since Ethan had feelings for Eleanor. The fact that his crush’s best friend was his mate was almost like fate playing a sick joke on him.Eleanor’s friend seemed like a nice person. He didn’t know anything about her, but he didn’t think Eleanor would keep anyone who wasn’t decent around her. If Ethan gave her a chance, they’d make a good couple.Henry stood from his chair and pulled out the one next to him when Eleanor got to the table. She looked at him and then at Thomas.Henry lifted a brow. Her husband was sitting at the table with anothe
Throughout dinner, Sophia could see that Eleanor was dying to find out what had happened between her and Ethan.So she was not surprised that the moment they got back to the Alpha’s villa, her best friend dragged her to her bedroom and immediately asked about it.If finding her mate had gone differently, she would have been over the moon and excited to share the news with Eleanor. But given how it had gone, she decided now was not the right time to break the news to her best friend.There was already so much going on. She didn’t want to make Eleanor worried about her. It was enough that one of them was already going through love troubles.“Nothing,” she said, walking to the window and peering outside. “He mistook me for someone he knew.”“Really?” Eleanor asked. She sounded unconvinced.Sophia dared not look at her. It would be so much harder to lie if she did. “Yeah. I know, it’s ridiculous. I saw how he looked at me when he ran out of the restaurant, and that’s why I followed him. W
