CHAPTER 15-BETHANY I heard him call my name once more, followed by a low growl. Despite hearing him, I wasn't quite ready to face him yet. I stopped in my tracks, knowing that I couldn't resist his Alpha voice when he used it to give orders."Why have you been ignoring me?" he asked. I knew he was referring to the last few days when I had been trying my best to avoid him. In the cabin, he was sweet and welcoming, but then he kissed me and said it was a mistake. I felt ashamed for letting him kiss me, but he was the one who initiated it and then acted like he was disgusted by it. I couldn't believe that I had thought he had finally warmed up to me."I haven't been ignoring you, Alpha," I replied, bowing my head. "I've just been busy with my pack duties." This was only half-true, as I had indeed been busy with pack duties. Due to the upcoming full moon, we had to work hard to preserve and store food for the weaker pack members as well as the young wolves. Celeste had explained everythi
CHAPTER 14-ALPHA RYDER I stepped out of the cabin with a stern look on my face and asked, "What are you doing here?" I made sure to keep my voice hard enough to convey my annoyance. This was my hideout, a place where I could be alone with my thoughts. And Chester's, of course.Earlier, I had gone into her room to set up her phone, but I left feeling frustrated and angry with myself. I couldn't understand why I got so overprotective when Mother suggested that Chester do it. So, I sprinted out of the house in my wolf form, hoping to be alone with my thoughts. But it was like she was everywhere, haunting me.As I looked at her, she seemed equally shocked to see me there. Her eyes widened, and she kept staring at me."Answer me, Bethany," I said, my tone becoming more aggressive. It was then that I realised that I had called her by her real name, not her human name, which I usually used. I grew even angrier at myself for doing that."I-I, um, I mean your mother sent me here to clear my h
Chapter 13-Bethany As I stormed into my room, I couldn't believe how Alpha Ryder had treated me. I had only tried to show him my gratitude, and yet he had shut me down. Who did he think he was, anyway? Yes, he was the Alpha of the pack, but that didn't give him the right to treat me with such disdain, I was carrying his child. I walked over to the mirror, and my eyes were drawn to the slight bulge under my clothes. It was my baby, growing inside of me. A wave of emotions washed over me, and I couldn't help but shed a few tears. I loved my unborn child more than anything in the world.Feeling a little better, I decided to take a bath. As I was putting my hair up, I heard a knock on the door. "Come in," I said, curious to see who it was.Alpha Ryder's mother, Celeste, entered the room. She was a vision of grace and beauty, with piercing blue eyes and flowing blonde hair. I couldn't help but feel a little intimidated by her presence."How are you feeling, child?" she asked, concern etch
Chapter 12- Alpha RyderI couldn't believe my ears when I found out what Conan had done to the human. How could he dare to touch something that was under my care? I thought Duscha had made it crystal clear that she was working there under my protection and I had made it abundantly clear that bullying was strictly prohibited in our pack. So, when I heard what he had done, I was livid. I knew I had to take action and make sure that Conan was punished for his actions. I couldn't let this kind of behaviour go unpunished. I made sure he received a punishment that was well deserved and then some more for touching what was mine. Everyone needs to understand that I take my responsibilities as Alpha very seriously. Anyone who tries to harm or bully those under my care will face the consequences. I believe that it's essential to create a safe and secure environment for everyone in the pack. That's why I won't tolerate any kind of misconduct or inappropriate behaviour. I continued with paperw
CHAPTER 11- BETHANY The morning was still engulfed in darkness as I woke up to start my day. I rubbed my eyes and yawned, feeling groggy and disoriented. As I proceeded to the common kitchen, I thought about my colleague Jane, who was always unusually quiet. She only spoke to me when necessary to communicate instructions. I wondered if she was just shy or if she had some other reason for keeping to herself.As I continued on my way to work, I caught a glimpse of Alpha Ryder working out on the training grounds under the rising sun, and I couldn't help but stop to admire his impressive physique. His muscles rippled as he lifted weights, and his sweat glistened in the sunlight. I felt a pang of envy as I realised that I could never look that good, no matter how much I worked out.Suddenly, I heard a snap from behind me, and I turned around to see Duscha staring at me with an intense glare. I heard she was one of the fiercest werewolves in the pack, which was why she was Beta, with sharp
Chapter 10-ALPHA RYDER As I walked towards the training grounds, I noticed something peculiar. Chester, the Gamma of our pack, was helping a human with cleaning tasks. This was unusual behaviour as I had never seen him doing such menial tasks before. I approached him while taking note of the human working at the far end of the training grounds.Chester sensed my presence and turned around to address me, calling me by my name as we were alone, just like he used to do when we were younger and I didn't have a title.I asked him, "Chester, what's going on? Why are you cleaning?"Chester replied, "I'm helping her out. This task is too tedious for a pregnant woman."I looked around the training grounds and asked, "Is she the only one cleaning all of this?"Chester confirmed, "Yes, she is."I was taken aback, "We need to speak to the person in charge of maintenance here. Mind-link them," I said.Chester responded, "We're almost done anyway. We can speak to him later. She needs to eat somet
