The Alpha's Chubby Obsession.

OSBORNEI hadn’t gone to the pack square to search for my mate—not because I wasn’t of age, but because I already had someone in mind. The problem? Every time we met, nothing happened. No bond. No pairing. And I hated it.No one ever seemed to notice her like I did. Maybe that’s why I held on. I’ve waited for her to mature, to come of age and finally be paired with me, but lately, it feels like all hope is slipping away. Sometimes, I think I should just claim her already and be done with it.So again, I stayed back in my room while others went out. Alex had gone, dragging his girlfriend with him. Strange how he had a girlfriend despite not having met his true mate. What would he do if he finally found her? Or if his girlfriend turned out to be someone else's mate? That kind of heartbreak ruins people.Anyway, his father had made sure he went this time—wanted him to meet his mate and accept the bond. The beta even tagged along to make sure of it.It had been a while since he left, and

As soon as the car pulled up in front of my house, I turned to glance at him."And how do you know where I live?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.He simply grinned in response — that same maddening, confident grin. Oh, goddess.He didn’t bother answering.“I’ll get going,” I muttered, reaching for the door.But before I could fully step out, he pulled me back to him and kissed me again — just like earlier. I didn’t fight it. I let him in, parting my lips for him the way he’d silently asked before.“Be ready. I’ll come meet you here tomorrow,” he said against my mouth.I shook my head weakly, flustered. He gave me one last soft peck before I quickly stepped out of the car.I practically sprinted to the front door, flung it open, and slammed it shut behind me. My heart was still racing.As I tiptoed deeper into the house, I spotted my father sitting on the couch, reading a book with a glass of fruit juice in hand.Just then, my brother came marching down the stairs with his mate in tow.“Lo

Their heads turned sharply to look at me—some with shock, others with confusion. Her brother gasped softly and whispered, “So it’s true.”But I didn’t care about any of that.I walked straight to her, where her mother knelt beside her. Lowering myself to the ground, I gently held Aina and said, “She’s in heat.”Her mother’s eyes widened as she nodded, then said quietly, “And so are you.”I gave her a knowing look, and right away, I caught the glint of mischief in her eyes.Aina’s body radiated heat, like she was burning up from the inside. Just standing close to her made it almost impossible to hold myself back.“So she wasn’t lying when she said she was your mate?” her father asked, his voice edged with disbelief.I nodded as I stood, lifting her carefully into my arms.“No, she wasn’t,” I replied.Even though she was clearly in heat, her body trembled in my hold. She needed comfort, and everyone in that room knew I was the only one who could truly soothe her.Her father cleared his

Once our desires had been partly satisfied, he straightened his clothes while I wore mine, though we still looked disheveled—like two people who had just been through a playful struggle."I just hope I didn’t leave your parents with the wrong impression about me," he murmured, and I found myself wondering the same thing. My parents… how must they have felt seeing me like that, in heat?He gave a soft chuckle. "What’s done is done. I guess I’ll just have to come back another time.""Why?" I asked, puzzled."I have somewhere to be this evening—a party. But I promise, I’ll come back for you," he said, cupping my face in his hands. I instinctively leaned into his touch."Don’t keep me waiting like you did today," I told him.His lips curled into a smile. "Oh, your flowers—I’ll go get them," he said, making me smile in return.He left, and I stood there alone, the smile slowly fading from my face. Then a thought crept in—what would the pack say if they saw me with Osborne? I might be his m

“Can I talk to you for a second, Osborne?” Alpha Hamilton asked, his tone tight but polite enough for the audience still watching.I nodded once, setting my glass down on the table before rising to my full height. At well over one ninety, I towered over most of the room—something I’ve always considered an advantage.Two guards moved in to lead the way, Alex trailing behind. Bella’s heels clicked rapidly against the marble floor as she hurried after us, her pace betraying her agitation. I didn’t bother looking back. A little drama was far more interesting than dying of boredom in that overstuffed party.We reached a secluded room tucked away from the noise. The guards remained outside. Inside, it was just me, Bella, and Alpha Hamilton.Without waiting for an invitation, I lowered myself into one of the plush chairs like I owned the place.“I know my daughter can be insufferable at times,” Hamilton began, taking a seat himself while Bella sank into the one beside him. “But what you did
