Alpha Keegan and I returned to the pack house, our fingers were intertwined, neither of us was ready to let go of the other yet. At least no one was going to notice, I thought to myself. My thoughts were still reeling around what his surprise could be. There was no point in asking him again, because he was certainly going to ignore the question like he had been doing since we walked here. When we opened the door, I was startled to see Kate and a few other people around so I quickly pulled my hand from his. My eyes loomed over Kate's side and I only noticed Vladimir and Chloe’s presence. I screamed and hurried to them, pulling Chloe into a really tight hug, grinning from ear to ear. “I didn’t know you were coming as well. Oh my gosh, it’s so good to see you in person again!” I glanced at Alpha Keegan and he flashed a millisecond smile at me. This was definitely a surprise I loved. Chloe was chuckling as I still hugged her really tight and gently pushed me back, holding my shoulders.
~ MAE ~I’ve been trying to speak to Casper again but have been unable to. I had no idea about where he lived or how to reach out to him, a very frustrating feeling. Plus, due to lack of proper experience and practice, my mind linking abilities was really poor. I could only properly mind-link the Alpha — not like I was ever going to— my sister, Mason, and Ava, and I could also be mind linked by someone else, but for others, it was terrible.I heaved a sigh and turned the door knob to Crystal's room open, forgetting to knock again. “Seriously, Mae? You don’t know what knocking means?” Crystal scoffed. “Sorry,” I sheepishly apologized and sauntered to her on the bed. “Where’s Mason?” I wondered, taking a seat beside her. “He’s in the bathroom.” She said and added, “washing his hands.” “Oh, okay.” “I bet you’re bored again?” she asked and pointed at a box. “Pass it to me.”“Yes, I’m very bored.” “You’re always bored.” Mason said as he walked out of the bathroom, drying his hands wi
~ KEEGAN ~Vladimir was still here and had surprisingly not performed any action yet. What did he want? Was he going to head over to the party from here? Or did he have any other motive for being here? I wondered to myself as I dug into my files, searching for anything at all that I hadn’t worked on. ‘Scarlett,' I mind linked her. It took a while till she responded, ‘yes, Alpha?’‘Head over to my office. I’d like to discuss something with you.’‘Okay, I’ll be there as soon as possible.’ After a while, Scarlett walked in. “I noticed a few guards are no longer on duty. Do you have any idea why?" “I fired a few of them for inappropriate behavior, but assigned new guards.” “Though we need more guards at this point in the pack, I believe your decision should be right.” “Yes, thank you.” She grinned and it seemed like her eyelashes fluttered at me coquettishly. ‘What the heck is wrong with this beta? Does she always have to hit on us at every chance she gets?' Drex rolled his eyes.
~ JANE ~“What just happened?” I asked, my entire body was still vibrating internally. My legs felt so wobbly as I walked up to Chloe and sat down with a harsh breath, feeling heat coating my cheeks. “What got into him? That was strange, but…” I had to admit I liked it. It made me feel really glad that he was so genuinely interested in claiming me as his despite my worthlessness, yet it was very extraordinary and I wondered what the hell brought such a reaction from him.“Aw, she’s blushing so much.” Chloe teased and it only made my face feel redder. “I didn’t know your Alpha was that possessive of you.”“He’s not always like that.” I retorted. “So it’s not the first time he’s being so possessive?” She nudged my shoulder with her elbow, wiggling her eyebrows at me. “Stop it!” I slapped her hand away, unable to stop blushing like a crazy animal. My lips still throbbed from his kiss and every part of my face and body he touched still tingled with a burning desire for more. “You’re so
~ KEEGAN ~I was in one of the most important meetings of the pack when someone thought it was right to interrupt their Alpha’s mind. ‘Hello?’ Jane called. I was surprised to hear her voice in my head for the first time ever and quickly responded, ‘Do you need anything?’‘Wow, so it finally worked!’ She sounded extremely excited at her victory and that made the grumpiness surrounding me vanish in an instant. The things this woman caused to me… ‘With hard practice, I finally got it! I’ve been trying to mind link you for over an hour now, through the help of this book from the pack library on how to mind link your mate.’‘See? She regards us as our mate!’ Drex celebrated. I felt proud of her that she at least put effort in it. “That’s great. Do you need anything? I’m in a very important meeting. “Oh, I apologize. I was just… r-really bored and neither Mae nor Chloe is here,” She stuttered. “I apologize. B-bye… uh… Later.’I cut the link since she clearly couldn't do that. ‘Our mate
*** ~ JANE ~I hadn’t stopped smiling since Alpha Keegan left. It still felt unreal that he had gotten me the things I loved because I stated them and when he admitted that my life was a mess, my heart was swollen, it felt like victory at last. I got into the short body-hugging dress the woman had brought for me and since it was a dinner at the pack house, I wore my espadrilles and tied my hair into a ponytail. I made sure to use at least something from the numerous makeup items without certainty of their function or right use or application, then headed upstairs. After a deep breath, I opened the door to the high-ranked members' dining room, clearly interrupting the ongoing discussion. The only people here were Mason, Crystal, Mae, Kate, Scarlett, Vladimir and a ray of excitement shone in my eyes to also spot Chloe. I quickly headed to her, avoiding the awkward gaze from everyone else and sat between her and Vladimir. “I’m so glad you’re here.” I whispered, trying not to contradi
I let out a harsh breath, still in shock from what the hell just happened. My eyes were glued to the door with high hopes that he was going to walk back in to finish what he had started. He couldn’t just leave me feeling so aroused like that. My entire body was still vibrating and the throbbing of my heart and vulva was still crazily present. How could he just let me admit that I belonged to him without fulfilling what my body wanted right now? How could his touch affect me that much?I stopped to think of what happened to me. This was the first time I’d experience such desperation from only his touch. It made no sense that I wanted him to make it more extreme. When I realized he wasn’t returning, I hopped off the table and left for the bathroom, rinsing my face and wiped it off with a towel, ignoring that I had cleaned my makeup off. I returned upstairs and took a few breathing exercises to calm myself down before walking back into the room. It felt like everyone’s eyes were on m
I dropped my phone on the nightstand and rolled out of bed, stretching and yawning then headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth. When I was done, I washed my face and hands, staring at how tired I looked from my swollen eyes. Did I really cry that much last night? What the heck was that nightmare?I shook my head to get rid of the horror of the thoughts and skipped out of the bathroom and flinched when I noticed Alpha Keegan standing a few feet away from me, he was in front of the vanity mirror, brushing his dark brown hair. When he noticed me, he gazed at me while I started walking away, yet he still gazed at me all the way till I returned to bed and picked my phone. “What happened to you last night?” he asked and walked over to me. Though his aura gave off the Alpha vibes, a hint of worry still flashed in his amber eyes. “Nothing.” I simply added and started scrolling through my phone but he wasn’t leaving yet and sat beside me. “What kind of nightmare did you have? You were s
