RILEY. My eyes found Nadia and the female who was trying to touch her. This is not a fucking child! And before I could stop myself, I was already growling and rushing toward my mate. I was almost on the verge of snapping the female’s neck if Aeon didn’t speak up. Although I wasn’t comfortable having a rogue in my car or my territory, I trusted Aeon. I could see there was something more to this female. And if he thought she could provide him with the information he needed, who was I to stop him? Aeon’s mother, Alpha Argon’s Luna, was beheaded by a self-proclaimed Rogue Alpha of the South. And ever since the day she died, Argon hasn’t stopped looking for him. He wanted his head and he made sure Aeon had the same goal. And although Aeon was acting a bit strange, I couldn’t totally read him. That’s the fucking annoying thing about Alphas, you can’t easily read their emotions. What they show might be different from what they think and feel. I chuckled internally at my thoughts. I al
Hello, lovelies! Spin-off Novel Book 3 - Stealing The Heart of My Alpha Happy New Month! ♡ I just want to confirm what some of you have guessed: Alpha Aeon will be the next Alpha in the spin-off series. He has always been my choice to end the series. I have mentioned in my inst* >>> author.cassa.m
A week after. NADIA. The week just went by swiftly, but I couldn’t complain. My days were filled with too many activities, and I was thankful that I was having a normal pregnancy. My pup has never given me any nausea or any problems, aside from my addiction to custard cake and decaffeinated coffee. Yes, coffee. Maybe because it was Riley’s scent that whenever he wasn’t around me, I craved him more and the scent of coffee helped me get through the hours without him. And I missed Laura’s cake. Although I was able to force Jenny to help me make one, we couldn’t get the perfect taste like the one Laura made for me in Atlanta. But when Zahra told me that Laura had made one for me and that she was taking it today, it made me happy all morning. I could already feel the custard cake melting in my mouth. All I was thinking right now was how to keep it to make sure no one would see it and take it away from me. And no, Riley was not an exception. He could probably taste it, but one spoon is e
(YOUNG) ALPHA CALEB. I had nothing scheduled for the day, so I pulled Dawson away from his computer games, and we drove off to Riley’s territory. I knew we were too early for Nadia’s birthday dinner, but I had been wanting to visit my cousin’s territory for another reason. Anya. When I met her almost six months ago, I asked when she would be turning eighteen, and she told me the exact day. It was a couple of days ago, and Nadia’s birthday dinner was just the perfect timing. I was hoping she would be here tonight, but if not, I had to find a way to see her, even if that meant visiting her home. But the thing was, I just couldn’t ask Sebastian. Riley’s Gamma was a known playboy before he met Jenny, and I believe it was for the same reason he was so protective of his sister when it came to dating. So asking him would be out of the question. I had to find a way to see Anya on my own. I’ve never been so taken with a woman that I couldn’t stop thinking about her for days. Fuck that! T
RILEY. "Why did you choose him over me?" I asked, my gaze meeting her blue eyes, the same set of eyes that I have. She took a deep breath before tilting her back to look behind her before meeting my gaze again. "Can we talk outside? If it’s okay with you, I would rather keep our conversation private." I would have preferred a private conversation in my office, but having it out in the open was better. I knew I would feel suffocated if I stayed in a closed room with her. I moved away from the door and let her out before I turned around and followed her, closing the sliding door behind me. She went down the steps and headed for the back garden. Her face lit up at the sight of the flowers blooming beautifully under the sunset. "These flowers," she started, her hand running over the tall rose bushes. "I planted those even before I became the Luna of this pack. It’s still here." She had a wide smile on her face until she realized something, and it was immediately wiped off. "Now that
NADIA. Instead of focusing on preparing ourselves for the dinner, we spent time talking about Katarina and Aeon. Katarina didn’t want to spill the beans, but I just couldn’t ignore the sadness in her eyes, and eventually, she told me everything. And my heart was crushed, not just for her but for Alpha Darvin. I wished we could do something, but from what Katarina told me, only she and Alpha Aeon knew of her brother’s ordeal. And I hoped the Alpha would tell Riley because I don’t think I would be able to hide it from my mate. "But let’s forget about me or anything I told you." Katarina’s lips curled into a smile as she shifted her gaze between me and Jenny. "Tonight we will enjoy your dinner because this is all about you and that pup there." She pointed her finger at my stomach before gently tapping it. I just let out a deep sigh. I knew I would enjoy the dinner because Riley and Zahra were here, but how would I look at Alpha Darvin without my heart clenching in pain? We might neve
RILEY. "Enough, you two — I'm starving." Nadia clasped my hand with her and tugged me towards the ground where our table was set up, with Darvin following us. "We can continue your conversation at the table." Everyone at the table stood up from their seats, and those who were away from it moved closer as they welcomed me and Nadia. We didn’t have anything fancy tonight, just a simple dinner for people close to Nadia’s heart. I originally wanted to spend Nadia's birthday with just the two of us, but the plan changed so I could have a reason to invite my mother back to the territory without too much pressure on me and her and because Nadia wanted her here. Everyone greeted Nadia and me before we all took our seats. Some seats were still vacant. Dominic, Caleb, Anya, and the twins were not yet around. My gaze was drawn to Dawson, who rose from his chair and walked to the opposite side, slumping into the empty seat meant for one of the twins before leaning his arms over the two empt
DAWSON. I rested my arms on the chairs beside me as I looked at everyone at the table while the Omegas were serving food. The night was turning out to be boring, not because the people around me were boring. It was simply because I felt alone, especially every time I looked at Riley and his Luna. They seemed to always get lost in their own worlds, and we had to draw their attention to remind them we were around. Plus the fact that my brother, Caleb, found his mate today. Not that I was jealous of Caleb. If there was anyone who deserved to find their mate, it was him. It was about fucking time so he could take the position that rightfully belonged to him by birth. And I hope things will work out between him and Anya. And no, I never fancied Anya. I was just playing around. I already knew she was already 18 because Caleb couldn’t shut his mouth up about that female. I just didn’t expect him to think that I was hitting on the female he wanted, but maybe because I took my joke too
