“You belong to me, with me, by my side, in my bed…” he said huskily. Wolfless, flawed, but oh so loved! When Jade, the wolfless new addition to the pack, meets the alpha, she has him captivated the same way he stole her breath. They are mates, but to his utter and complete dismay, she doesn't realize it - no wonder there since her wolf has yet to awaken. Will it ever? Alexander watches her as a hawk, has to fight advances from different she-wolves, and to warn guys off her. He has to keep his beautiful Jade by his side at all and any costs... he resorts to courting her the same way humans do. The wait is killing him but he isn't above fighting the world for her. Soon enough, she becomes his treasure. Some pack members even let out in jest that she is The Alpha's Possession. They say love conquers all, but does it really? Warning: intended for mature audiences
View MoreI stood there, watching her from afar as she trained, as diligently as the best warrior in the pack, even though she was no ordinary member. I watched her, half mesmerized, half perplex…
How could a girl be so beautiful, so graceful, even as she fought a vicious wolf?
She was so captivating, I ached with the need to possess her and make her mine.
Wolfless and perfectly flawed as she might be, she was a sight to behold.
And most importantly, she was mine.
As it was, the only obstacle that stood in the face of our happiness was the fact that she, herself, didn’t acknowledge me as her mate.
Indeed, it seemed like despite the sharp senses bestowed upon her, she hadn’t felt the sparks when our skin touched. And she also didn’t feel the sizzling electricity in the air whenever we locked eyes.
How oblivious could she be? And just how much more time could I stand this impossible situation?
A week ago, I welcomed her family into the pack. And needless to say, she had me at hello.
My beta cleared his throat from behind me, and I turned around to face him, even though it pained me to stop watching her train.
“Jade has you wrapped around her little finger, huh?” He said teasingly.
“Who’s Jade?” I arched an eyebrow at him challengingly.
“Oh, I don’t know, my dearest Xander,” he shrugged. A smirk broke on his features before he went on, “Who else but the beautiful wolfless she-devil whom you’ve been watching like a hawk for the past 10 minutes?”
“Careful there,” I told him sharply. “Some might think you have a death wish.”
He paled at once, and the formalities resumed, “Alpha, please. You should know that I’m not foolish enough to pursue a girl you fancy.”
I growled at him and my eyes flashed black.
“I don’t fancy her,” I spat out. He nodded in earnest, as if to say he believed me, or rather he would believe whatever nonsense I sprouted, provided I spared him.
Then, I dropped the bomb on him, “She’s my mate.”
His eyes widened and he let out a stunned “Oh?”
Feeling like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, I heaved a sigh and went back to the window, to cast her one last look… a look that was no doubt full of longing, love, and adoration.
Then, I turned around to face my beta again.
“You better not speak of this to anyone, Luc,” I told him in a tone that was so matter of fact, I could have been talking about the weather.
He stood to attention and nodded at me curtly, “You have my word, alpha.”
I looked at him, appreciating his seriousness, and then said, “Now, enough decorum, Luc. Tell me what my schedule of the week has to offer.”
“Nothing you’ll enjoy, Xander,” he began sheepishly. “A meeting with the elders this afternoon.”
I groaned.
And he offered me an apologetic smile. “They’ll probably nag you about finding a suitable mate again.”
“Right,” I scoffed. “Well, news flash, I did.”
“But they don’t know that,” he argued, tilting his head to the side.
“And that’s how it should be,” I quipped almost pensively. “Until I figure out a way to make my mate acknowledge the bond between us.”
His eyes almost popped out of their sockets at that point. “You… She…”
“Try making a coherent sentence for once, dumbass,” I chuckled dryly, though I knew perfectly where his concerns laid.
“I’m sorry, Xander. I don’t know what to say.”
“You don’t have to say anything,” I shook my head negatively. “She’s mine. And that is that. All that remains is making her realize and accept that she is mine.”
He nodded at me and then went on to explain the week schedule further.

The meeting with the elders couldn’t have been more predictable. Indeed, they asked of me to reconsider making Stacy my Luna, telling me how much my own pack would benefit from the alliance. Stacy was the only daughter of the neighboring pack’s alpha, and I could care less about the nonsense these elders were sprouting.
“Is it a mating or a merger you want?” I demanded to know, my voice calm, my wolf under control, despite the simmering anger that laid just under the surface.
I hated how controlling and manipulative they could be… and yet, I found it amusing that they would press the matter, each month, ever since they learned I had bedded that she-wolf.
It had happened but once. It was a mistake. A mistake that was not about to happen again.
Besides, I had a she-wolf to woo and conquer.
I could care less about all these Luna-wannabes, all these hungry-for-power she-wolves who only saw me for what I could afford and give.
I wanted a mate to care for and dote on. I wanted a mate that would love me unconditionally, and still argue with me whenever she thought fit. I wanted a mate that would stand beside me as my equal, not a submissive she-wolf, whose only purpose was holding parties and bearing pups.
No one but Jade shall be my Luna, I inwardly vowed. Wolfless or not, she is my fated mate.
While they didn’t know that, they knew better than to try to force my hand. All they could was talk.
Well, they could even bark, for all I cared. It wouldn’t change a thing.
My heart, my mind, and my wolf, were set on no one but the beautiful temptress of a new addition to the pack.
I tried to smile at the elders, so that they would brace themselves for impact.
I never smiled at the bunch, save when it was to scorn them some way.
They stiffened at once, as to be expected.
“While I appreciate your concern, don’t you all have anything better to do than to poke your nose where it doesn’t belong?”
“Alpha Alexander,” the youngest of them – no less than sixty years old – began in a fake saccharine tone, seemingly undisturbed by my jab. “We only want what’s best for the pack.”
“I hate to say it, but an unmated alpha is a weak and frivolous alpha,” the oldest of them went on, his eyes not meeting mine.
My eyes went black at the blatant disrespect.
“Know your place, Jeremiah,” I all but growled the words out at him, not containing my wolf, watching him pale. “Should you become a nuisance to me and the pack both, I wouldn’t hesitate to erase your very existence.”
“Alpha Alexander,” the youngest of them tried to placate me. “It is our honor to serve you and the pack. We would never even dare become a nuisance. We are also deeply sorry for Jeremiah’s choice of words. He seems to be unwell.”
“You’re dismissed,” I told them off-handedly as I struggled to remain in control.
It couldn’t and wouldn’t do to kill an elder, no matter the provocation.
If I wanted to get rid of them, I was going to need much stronger motives.
Jade’s pov: I might not know what was going on, but I knew that whatever mom was going to say was big… I could feel that it would be some kind of earth shattering revelation, which might just wreck my world all over again. I wasn’t sure I could handle anything, considering I had just given birth, but I knew that there was no helping it. I wanted to know the truth more than I needed my next breath. “Your dad loved you dearly… and so do I. You know that, right?” Mom began, her eyes glassy, but refusing to stop or look me in the eyes. “We would have happily gone to hell for you.” “Mom, you’re scaring me,” I gulped down my dread and anxiety. “Just tell me what’s wrong please.” “Nothing’s wrong,” she shook her head negatively. “You’re just coming into your legacy, sweetheart.” What legacy? I was tempted to echo after her, but was too hurt, numb, and confused to speak up. What was she on about? I couldn’t bear the suspense, and yet I wasn’t sure I was ready for whatever she was about
Alex’s pov: Even though I was shaken up, and looking anxiously at the damned red circle every few seconds, I knew what needed to be done, and I had to act quickly. Jade appeared to be peacefully asleep to any onlooker, but not only did I trust Paulina’s assessment, but I also could tell that her heartbeat was growing weaker. “You’re not leaving me,” I mumbled, more to myself than anyone else, but that had the knack to make my parents look at me. Paulina told me I needed to give blood to my beloved Jade, and Anna had told me that I needed to kiss her. And it was therefore with no hesitation whatsoever that I let my beastly fangs protrude, to my parents’ horror. “What’s going on?” My dad rose to his feet, seemingly ready to intervene. Thankfully, Luc handled him well, and said simply, “Let’s trust Alpha Xander.” The looks mom was sending me were of abject worry. Lucille’s eyes, however, were tender and trusting. She even nodded at me for some reason. And then, I was sinking
Alex’s pov: Jade’s mom took it upon herself to feed our newborn baby, using a bottle, while my beloved mate remained blissfully unaware of the anguish she was putting me through. I remained seated by her side, my eyes trained on her peaceful face, refusing to budge, despite Luc’s urging and Trevor’s reassurances. I just ended up telling them once I was fed up with their senseless talk, “I intend to stay here until she wakes up.” Lucille Falls was sitting on the other side of Jade, our little Tyler crying softly in her arms, as if he was seeking his mother’s warmth, of which he was deprived. “But Alpha Xander,” Luc argued after a moment, and his use of my title made me look at him. He was addressing the Alpha, not his friend. “I have received word that it’s not just Paulina and Anna who are coming. Beta Marc has come along, and I would hate for something as minor as welcoming them into our pack to land us in some trouble.” “I trust you, Luc,” I said simply. “And I see you as the b
Jade’s pov: “I can see the head. Please push, Luna Jade,” the mid-wife told me in a soft albeit urgent tone of voice. I did as I was told, crying out, but maintaining a good flow of energy nonetheless. The effort to keep some sort of balance, while pushing at the same time, made me almost feverish. I could feel myself get sweaty, and it was all I could do not to faint. Despite the epidural, the pain had come back – which was to be expected because of my high metabolism as a wolf – but it had been somewhat bearable until she asked me to push. “You’re doing a great job, love,” Alex, who was rather pale and didn’t look too good, told me in a soothing tone of voice. I was squeezing his hand, as if my life depended on it, and he hadn’t complained, not even once. On the contrary, all I ever got from him were words of encouragement. He truly was the best mate one could ever hope for… and yet the pain was almost too much.I soon found myself threatening him in between two pushes, “You’
Alex’s pov: It seemed like Jade wasn’t quite focused on just getting a baby out of her. Indeed, it felt like she was more invested in not weakening the pack in any way. She wanted to prove herself worthy of the pack, not that I cared as much as she did, mind you. The pack did seem to still harbor some mixed feelings after the whole training fiasco… But it wasn’t something we had any control over. The pack members, however, had no clue of the amount of pressure these repeated issues had been having on her. Jade was not only young, just barely 18 years old, but also pregnant, and not quite the usual werewolf. Yes, she had a wolf, but she also was a healer – which in turn meant that she was partly a witch. And I had the chance to see her in action right then. “Give me your hand,” she told me, a moment after the doctor shot her with the epidural. “I am already holding your hand, love,” I retorted in a rather dumbfounded tone of voice. Jade sat up straighter in her bed, and raised an
Jade’s pov: Today, I had been training solo, under Trevor’s watchful eyes. Indeed, even though I missed Paulina’s soft and soothing voice as she taught me everything I needed to know, I didn’t fail to train. Admittedly, for the past couple of hours, small contractions had been hitting me wave after wave. I tried not to let any sign of discomfort show on my face though, because I wasn’t due for another 3 days. Trevor’s phone rang loudly, disrupting my focus for a split-second, but I got back right on track. “It’s time for lunch, Luna Jade,” he declared, a small smile stretching his lips. I nodded at him, but kept trying to get positive energy from the forest surrounding me, my bare feet planted in the soil. “Please, Luna Jade,” he pressed on after a moment. “Alpha Xander will have my head if we’re late to lunch one more time.” “You know he won’t,” I pouted, even as I put on my flip-flops. The moment I was no longer connected to the earth, the contractions turned harsher all of
