Arabella’s POVI didn’t sleep enough last night, so I knew I would be in a crabby mood today. That and tonight was a full moon. Our tempers were always worse on the day of. Every emotion we felt was heightened, something that made what we were both a blessing and a curse.As the hours passed, I spent most of them avoiding everyone. I wanted to be alone, but my friends didn’t understand that. No matter how many warnings I gave them, there was no way I could be angry at them. Other than my mother, they were all I currently had left.“Are you ready?” Sara stood before the window, her arms crossed over her chest as she gazed at the moon. Sara preferred to be in wolf form; she said she felt at peace—a feeling she couldn’t reach any other time of the month. Unlike some other wolves, I felt the same. If given the choice, I’d be on four legs and covered in fur any day. There was something about how it felt as the wind ruffled your fur and how we could explore further in less time. I just wis
The Alpha's Return Fix Her
Leo’s POVFuming didn’t begin to describe how I was feeling. Joshua knew the fucking rules. Everyone in every pack knew that no weapons were to enter the ring while a title challenge was taking place.Arabella’s mother, Linda, was a mess. Clearly, she loved her daughter, but the screams accompanying the waterworks were a bit much. Yes, her daughter was in a bad way, but she wouldn’t die. I wouldn’t let her.‘Do it… mark her.’ Shadow’s taunts echoed in my mind. Closing my eyes, I took several deep breaths and tuned him out.We had the means to save Arabella, but I wouldn’t do it unless there were no other way. It would set in stone her fate, a choice that nobody should ever have taken away.“The doctors here, come on, Linda, let’s give them some space.” Susie and Sara escorted her from the room so the doctor could attend to his patient. Sara questioned me because I stayed rooted beside her best friend's bed, but Susie told her to drop it. I watched from the side of the room as the doc
The Alpha's Return Arabella...
Arabella’s POVCarefully swinging my legs around the bed, I attempted to stand. The problem was that my legs were like jelly.“I need to use the bathroom. Could you help me?” Leo hesitated for a second before agreeing.He placed his arm under mine and took the weight from me as we slowly walked to the bathroom. Once he knew I was ok, he let me go and closed the door behind him.When I had finished, thankfully, my legs weren’t as shaky standing back up. Taking it one step at a time, I walked to the sink to wash my hands. Bending over, I splashed some cold water onto my face. Once standing, I took the hair band from my wrist and placed my hair into a bun. That’s when I saw it. A fresh mark sat on my neck. Its edges were rough and raised; it tickled only when I ran my fingers along it. A sensation that felt oddly… alluring.‘We are his and should mark him back when our heat hits.’ It was clear the voice was in my head because I was alone in here.‘Ok, who the hell are you?’ Closing my ey
The Alpha's Return How are you?
Leo’s POVMy mother's scent clung to a piece of broken bench. Linda had defended herself but to no avail. She was no match against a beast like my mother, like me. My mate had already lost one parent; I wasn’t about to sit back and allow her to lose the only living relative she had left. It wouldn’t be easy, and I’d be putting my own life on the line in the process. But for her, it would be worth it if only to see her smile one more time.As I returned to Arabella’s room, I knocked gently before opening the door.“Did you find her?” I could see the hope in her eyes and the disappointment on her face when she realised her mother wasn’t with me.“I did. She’s not ready to face you yet. She thought she was going to lose you too. Give her some time, and she will come.” Thankfully, Arabella believed my story. “Look… I know the timing is bad, but something has come up, and I need to head out of town for a couple of days.”“But my…” I sat beside her, knowing what she was going to say. Sara m
The Alpha's Return You know I haven't...
Arabella’s POVAs the priest gave his final blessing, I stood with Margaret at my side. With my mother not turning up, I didn’t want to do this alone. I couldn’t. Together, we walked up to my father's coffin and placed our roses on top, Margaret’s hand growing tighter around mine as I began to tremble.Throughout the entire service, I had somehow remained strong, but now, as I stood by his side, I couldn’t stop the tears from falling. Bringing my fingers to my lips, I kissed them before lowering them to the pine box that would forever house my father.A part of me wished I’d had the chance to see him in his final moments, but I know in my heart it was better to remember him through my memories. To remember him as the handsome, kind-hearted man he was and would always remain. As I looked out over the faces of our pack members, it was clear they felt the same. There wasn’t a dry eye in sight.He should have been buried before now, but I couldn’t change that. All I knew was that now, in
The Alpha's Return Nothing but desperation and bad breath
Arabella’s POV“He’s a friend, happy?”“No, Susie, I’m not happy. There’s more going on, and you know it.” We stood there in silence, but another question sat on the tip of my tongue. It was one I didn’t want to ask but knew I had to. If they had a past, I needed to see if I would have to compete against my friend. “Have you slept with him?”“ARABELLA, NO! That’s disgusting!” I could see her disgust as plain as day, which eased me a little, but that only meant something else was happening.“I’m sorry I needed to ask. If that’s not the secret you’re hiding then what is it? Because I know there’s something.” Shaking her head, she turned her back to me, which left my blood boiling. Letting my temper get the better of me, I gripped her shoulder and forcefully spun her back around.Susie, unimpressed, swung her fist in my direction. Before it could touch me, I grabbed and twisted her arm. As Susie winced, she swept her leg under mine, knocking me down. Growling, I jumped back up and floore
The Alpha's Return Until that night...
Leo’s POVThe inside of the house was just as quiet and dark as the outside. Before I left for my meeting, the place was more alive than ever, but I had never seen it this way.A flickering light caught my eye as I walked through the foyer and into the corridor that led to the back of the house.“Took you long enough.” His low, gruff voice came from the lounge. Following his voice, I flicked the switch on the wall, allowing the light to illuminate him.My father sat in the leather armchair, an ashtray on one arm and a glass of amber liquid on the other. His hand was tight around it as he held his cigarette between two fingers. The smoke creating a fog-like veil.“I expected you back days ago.” Bringing his cigarette to his lips, he took a long drag, his eyes never leaving mine. His eyes were cold and dark, their warmth gone with my sister.“Something came up.” My father's lips raised at the corners as he huffed, the smoke leaving through his flared nostrils.“You mean your mate? Or yo
The Alpha's Return HER OVER ME!
Leo’s POV“So why do this to her? She wasn’t the one that wronged you; he was, and you killed him. Why not let that be the end of it?”“Have you not listened to a word I have said? He chose HER OVER ME!” My mother's eyes bulged as her anger grew.“Mother, please… Linda has suffered enough. You lost your fated mate, and it hurt you in ways I wouldn't want to imagine. But you got your revenge when you ended his life. You wanted to hurt Linda because he had a life with her, and you have done that. So please, Mother, just let her go.” Before I could blink, I found myself falling to the ground. Her blade now embedded in my stomach.I tried to remain conscious as my vision began to blur. Every breath I took sent a new wave of pain throughout my body. I hadn’t even noticed my mother standing over me until she pulled the blade free. “You wished to save the enemy, to offer her your sympathy. And now you will suffer beside her, but dear boy, don’t fret, I’ll allow you your chance at saying goo
