The Alpha's Desire CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN
“Are you sure this is what you want to do?” Zach asks. “I thought Caden was the person you truly love.”“Caden?” I ask. He nods.I’m honestly not sure how I feel about Caden. He doesn’t have particularly high standing in the pack, so I’ve never truly thought about it. I don’t allow myself to think about it.If I fully allowed myself to dwell on it, I don’t think I’d like the answer I’d land on. So, it’s better not to let those thoughts even flutter into my brain.“He’s not,” I say. “You’re the person I love. What would give you the impression that he is the person I love?”“He told me so himself,” Zach explains. “He said that the two of you are mates. I don’t want to get between the two of you. Especially not if you are mates.”“We aren’t,” I insist. Though I know I can explore that further even if I get married to Zach. Caden and I have had our moments together before. He gives me status, while Caden can give me something else.“He may think we are,” I say. “But we’re not. And
The Alpha's Desire CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT
“Don’t worry about it,” Gretta says, as I panic. “I can fix this.”What if Zach is my mate? What if I’ve hurt him for no reason?If even half of what he says is true, this is awful. What I did to him is awful and I don’t think he’d ever forgive me.“It might not be true though, right?” I ask. “Zach still could be lying. That doesn’t mean he’s my mate. It doesn’t necessarily mean I ruined things.”“That’s right,” Gretta says. “You don’t know anything for sure because your mind is in a compromised state.“First, we have to get rid of the fog. Then, you’ll know that the truth is. Then, you’ll know what you have to do.”“How do we get rid of it?” I ask.“Through another potion,” she says. “But we can’t do that today. Your body is already worn down by the potion you ingested. “Your brain can be negatively affected if we keep pumping it with potions. It’s changing the way you think and feel. You can’t keep doing that without bad side effects.”“So, what do I do?” I ask. “I have to
The Alpha's Desire CHAPTER TWENTY NINE
“Are you sure you’re okay with this?” I ask. I’m not sure if I’m asking because I’m not okay with this or because I suspect he’ll change his answer. Maybe both. I know this will hurt him. It’ll hurt me. This is all wrong, but it feels like I’m destined to be tortured like this.“I am,” Caden says, as he straightens his tie. His body is rigid though. His words are clipped. It seems like he’s struggling to hold onto his composure.“It hurts,” he admits. “It really does. But it’d hurt more to be with someone who doesn’t want to be with me. I can’t make her want to be with me.“I love Lavender, but if she can’t see it, this is for the best. I want to find someone who will love me back. And I’m starting to question if she is my mate at all. I don’t think a true mate can hurt you like that.”I nod. “I understand. That’s how I feel about Sasha. I feel it in my soul that she’s my mate, but I don’t understand how she could hurt me like that if she is. It’s all so confusing and awful.”
The Alpha's Desire CHAPTER THIRTY
“You need to leave,” Lavender says, trying to take control of the situation. “Right now. You came in and disrupted everything, you hurt Zach, you’ve caused so many problems in our pack.“I’m not going to let you ruin my wedding too. You need to leave.”I don’t pay attention to her though. My gaze stays on Zach.“Please, Zach,” I say, “none of this is what it looks like. I can explain. Just give me a chance.”Zach glances at Lavender, then back at me.“Okay,” he says. “I will give you a chance. Though after what happened, I’m not sure there’s much you can say to make that better.”“I know,” I reply. “And if you don’t want to talk to me after this, I understand. I’ll leave and I’ll never bother you again.“I’m sorry for what I said. I’m sorry for hurting you and embarrassing you in front of the pack. That’s why I’m doing this here now, in front of everyone. So, you can get your revenge if you want. You can reject me or you can accept me.”I start walking down the aisle towards hi
The Alpha's Desire CHAPTER THIRTY ONE
It’s a special day for us, for the whole pack. I couldn’t be more excited. Though I know there is something we must do first to move past everything. There’s something we have to do to get a good start on our life. Zach and I walk into the jailhouse together. We’re going to face this together, just like how we face everything else. We’ll stand as a united front, as we always should be.Lavender is waiting in a corner cell. We’ve made sure she’s been cared for during this time, getting adequate food and water as needed. Her life here hasn’t been comfortable, but we’ve granted her more mercy than she should’ve been given considering all of the hurt she’s caused.She looks up at us with fear on her face as we approach her. I think after staying in her for quite some time, she has realized that Zach isn’t going to come in and save her. She has to pay for her crimes.“We’ve finally decided on a fate for you,” I say, standing in front of her.“Please, don’t let her kill me,” she says t
The Alpha's Desire CHAPTER ONE
I close my eyes and slow my breathing, letting the sounds of the forest come to me. I smell the scent of a deer and a family of rabbits. Prey but I have more important things to focus on today.I open my eyes and scan the clearing. Red eyes glow from the darkness among the bushes.I growl at the intruder.The other wolves around me see it too, and we all crouch down, preparing for a fight.The animal steps out of the bushes, and I recognize the black fur and the white paws.He’s a wolf, but not one of us.He’s a rogue, and he looks dangerous.I step forward, baring my teeth and snarling.The rogue growls and crouches down in response to us, prepared to attack.“This is your last warning, rogue,” I say. “Run!”The rogue leaps forward and attacks.I dodge to the side and, in one motion, snap his neck as he passes me. He collapses on the ground.“Do you think he’s dead?” my best friend, Erin asks.“I assume,” I say. That’s not enough though. “Careful.”The other wolves and
The Alpha's Desire CHAPTER TWO
I return to camp, still marked by the blood of my enemies, and dread my conversation with the Alpha. How will I answer him?As I enter the camp, everyone talks excitedly about the way I slaughtered the rouges. My pack looks at me with respect.The Alpha walks up to me, his eyes filled with pride. I feel a sense of dread."Sasha, you're an amazing fighter,” he says. “You're the most skilled fighter in the pack."I open my mouth to thank him, but don’t trust myself to speak.He continues, "I'm proud of you."I bite my lip, feeling queasy."Thank you," I whisper.He nods, studying me with a serious gaze. "Can I talk to you?" he asks.I nod. As the rest of the pack celebrates, we find privacy among a grove of trees. He stares at me with his golden eyes that all the girls love."I like you," Drake says, and it seems like the words are coming from someone else. I feel like I am about to throw up as a knot twists in my stomach."I know this is strange," he says. "But I think
The Alpha's Desire CHAPTER THREE
"I love Drake,” she says, once we’re alone. “And he loves me.”I look up, her words are like a slap to the face."What?" I ask.She laughs, a slow, mean sound. "I love Drake and he loves me,” she repeats the words I can’t fully understand.A deep heat starts to curl from my stomach, moving into my limbs. I can feel my nails growing slightly into claws, the skin around my mouth tightening."I've loved him since before he even knew you existed,” Mallory says.The heat rises up my throat to my cheeks now. I can feel my eyes turning yellow."You don't know anything about me or Drake,” I snarl."I know everything I need to know." Her eyes glitter, her mouth stretches into a wide, vicious smile. "I know you're trying to steal him away from me.""I'm not trying to steal him away from anyone,” I insist."You don't have to try," she spits the words at me. "You're already doing it.”She laughs again, the same mean laugh.The heat rises up my neck now, searing my face. I can feel my m
