How do you handle an emergency call from Alpha when you're on a nice Friday night date with your mate? That was the question that Alpha Damian's exclusive doctor, Edward, had to answer. Without hesitation, he left his sexy mate in the lab, grabbed his first aid kit, and rushed to Alpha's new flat.After waiting for twenty minutes at Alpha's new base, Edward began to worry when he didn't receive a message from Damian. He couldn't help but wonder if Alpha had gone in advance of his plans and had been seriously injured during the confrontation with the enemy. But things took an unexpected turn when he saw Damian, who had always forbidden strange women to approach, arrive at his apartment with a beautiful woman in his arms.Alicia gripped Damian's arm tightly as she noticed a stranger in his apartment.Damian reassured her by whispering, "It's ok. He's my doctor - Edward. You'll be fine," while putting his arm around her shoulders.As they entered the living room, Edward, with his keen s
The scent of sizzling bacon and buttered toast wafted into the bedroom, rousing Alicia from her slumber in the king-sized bed. She opened her bleary eyes, inhaling deeply the tantalizing aroma, and then stretched with a deep sense of relief. It was the most comfortable sleep she had had since her marriage.However, the next moment, memories of the last night flooded her mind, as she noticed the naked form beneath the silky duvet. She sat up and let out a heavy sigh, looking at the hickeys made by her mate. Once again, she had succumbed to Damian's advances, giving in to the fear and their mate bond."Good morning, sweetheart," Damian greeted her with a smile as he leaned against the bedroom door frame.Upon seeing Damian's grin, Alicia buried her face in her palms, as if facing an impending disaster."How are you feeling? Is your throat still bothering you?" Damian asked, his voice laced with concern, as he walked over to the bed and took a seat."I'm probably well," Alicia spoke in a
"Have I met you before?" Damian inquired, his face contorted in annoyance.Caroline's striking brown eyes reddened with emotion as she bit her lip, pleading, "Please don't act like you don't know me. Do you recall the wonderful evening we spent together at my father's pack house?"Alicia covered her mouth in surprise after hearing Caroline's words. So, Caroline was Damian's ex? However, judging from Damian's cold reaction and the pervasive scent of lavender in the air, he was not pleased with Caroline's presence."Did I fuck you that night? Or are you working for a tabloid and wanna dig my gossip?" Damian's icy tone and indifferent expression left Caroline taken aback.Caroline's eyes widened, unprepared for Damian's blunt response.Without waiting for her to reply, Damian continued in an unfeeling voice, "You know that you are breaking the law by trespassing into my house without permission. I could have you arrested at any moment."Alicia shuddered at Damian's frigid tone and his me
Alicia's nerves were frayed, and the once-soothing lavender scent in the room now seemed ineffective. She leaned against the door, shivering uncontrollably. With trembling fingers, she pulled out her smartphone and saw a missed call from Mae the previous night. Realizing that her best friend had unblocked communication, she didn't hesitate to dial the number of the only person she trusted."Bunny! You finally contacted me! Why did you sleep so early last night? Oh, never mind that! I'm finally free! That damn experiment is finally over," Mae's chattering voice came through the earpiece."Mae..." Alicia's voice cracked as she called out Mae's name."What's up? What's wrong with your voice?" Mae asked nervously, hearing Alicia sobbing."I'm dying," Alicia cried."Give me ten minutes!" Mae immediately hung up the phone.Ten minutes later, Alicia opened her apartment door to see her best friend standing in front of her. Mae's straight, short, medium-length black hair glistened in the warm
Alicia's voice quivered as she asked hesitantly, "So, I can really see you?" Memories of Tobias's recent call, during which he mentioned the possibility of a future meeting, came flooding back to her. Was the future arriving so soon?"Yes, that's right. Monday is visitation day at the hospital. But if you don't want to see me, I understand," replied Tobias, his voice even huskier than before as he coughed a few times.Alicia's guilt resurfaced upon hearing his coughing. "Are you okay? Which hospital are you in?" she asked, concerned."I'll have Ellis pick you up if you want to come," said Tobias, with more coughing. "If you change your mind, you can always tell him. Maybe you'll be disappointed and scared when you see me."Alicia interrupted him, her mind made up. "No, I won't change my mind. I'm looking forward to seeing you. No matter what you look like, I won't be afraid because I'm your wife," she said firmly.As Tobias chuckled softly on the other end of the line, Alicia couldn't
"Toby!" he exclaimed and embraced the huge black wolf excitedly as if he had found a lighthouse of hope while sailing through a sea shrouded in darkness.Tobias then reverted back to his human form and explained that the potion did not take effect when the helicopter accident occurred.He had, however, experienced a remarkable physical transformation during his three-month stay in the ICU. The potion had reorganized every organ, tissue, and even finer detail of his being. He had regained his ability to shift and was now stronger than ever."I don't want to be an Alpha," he offered, reporting on recent developments. "Martin sent Victor back to New York and moved Golden Moon Pack here. He appointed me to be Golden Moon Pack's next Alpha. Toby, you should go see Martin and tell him you have recovered. He will definitely let you be the Alpha of the Golden Moon Pack, and then we can get revenge on Victor."Tobias shook his head. "El, Martin has chosen you to be the heir to the Golden Moon
Alicia hesitated for a moment. She had never actually met her husband, but she couldn't tell Martin that. Because she once promised Alpha Ellis that she would pretend to be on good terms with Tobias in front of any Wilton family member after her marriage."We've been getting along well. Tobias cares about how I'm doing. It's just that his illness makes it hard for us to spend time together," she said and shrugged, hoping she sounded convincing."Fate can be so unfair sometimes," Martin sighed and shook his head regretfully. "It's been a difficult journey for Toby. " Martin said, his voice tinged with sadness.He continued, "You know after the accident, he had slept for almost nine years before regaining consciousness and being able to talk last year. "Martin closed his eyes, as if he was caught up in his memories. "I can still remember when Toby woke up, he told me he wanted a wife who could talk to him. And he even had a choice. Perhaps he knew his brother Ellis had met the mate. So
"Come in," Tobias' voice greeted Alicia as she approached his room.Alicia scanned her visitor pass on the machine next to the door and pushed it open, immediately hit by a strong odor of sanitizer and an unknown chemical. Although it was pungent, it was within Alicia's tolerable range.Stepping onto the plush and clean carpet, Alicia walked towards the room slowly. Unlike the ordinary ward she remembered, this room was luxurious in decoration.A high-grade marble bathroom was situated on the left after entering, immaculate in appearance. Upon walking out of the corridor, she discovered the living room for visitors, complete with fresh grapes and chopped melons. It felt like being in a presidential suite of a five-star hotel."Alicia?" Tobias called out from inside the room, prompting her to take a deep breath and head towards her husband's voice.Despite bracing herself for the potential horror of Tobias' illness, Alicia was still taken aback when she laid eyes on her husband lying i
