Adriana's povOverwhelmed by their generosity, I nodded appreciatively. "Thank you, Alpha Carmen and Abel. I'm really grateful"Alpha Abel spoke, a reassuring tone in his voice. "In our pack, we look out for each other. You're not alone anymore, Adriana.""I know," I said as a huge smile formed on my lips"I have to leave now, but I will leave you in Alpha Abel's hands," Alpha Carmen said as he walked away, but as he got to the trees he turned back, "the party starts at eight, if Abel is still with you he can bring you over" "Okay I won't miss it" I said as we both watched Alpha Carmen disappear into the trees"So since you're keeping me company till the party starts, what do you want to do?" I asked as an amused expression formed on Alpha Abel's face "Why do you think I'll stick around till the festivities start? I might have things to attend to, like Carmen," Alpha Abel remarked, his amusement evident in his tone."Seriously? You're going to ditch me here alone with no one to talk
Third person povAs we got to the welcome party being hosted for me, Alpha Carmen was the first to welcome us, "welcome Adriana" he said as he approached us with a small smile on his face, then on getting to where we were standing he pulled me into a hug"Don't I deserve a welcome, too?" Alpha Abel said as Alpha Carmen playfully glared at him"Nope, you're not the bell of the ball, Adriana is, so keep quiet," Alpha Carmen said, causing Alpha Abel to pout"Come on, Carmen, I'm at least you won't disagree that I'm the life of any party," Alpha Abel teased, attempting to reclaim some attention.Carmen chuckled, "You may be the life of the party, but tonight is all about Adriana. Let her enjoy the spotlight for today.""This is too much, Alpha Carmen," Adriana said. A blush crept up her cheeks as her haze moved around the room"Don't say that, Adriana, okay, maybe I had other motives for planning this party," Alpha Carmen said as a confused look formed on Adriana's face"Oh, what other re
Third person pov "Let's move on to the main event," Alpha Carmen said as he led Adriana to the middle of the room, where everyone was already waiting "I'm so nervous," Adriana said as she held on to Alpha Abel's hands"No need to be nervous, I'm right by your side," Alpha Abel said as he gave her a comforting smile"Ladies and gentlemen, we have gathered here today today to welcome a new member to the pack" Alpha Carmen said as he turned to face me, "her name is Adriana and I would like you all to please welcome her" "Welcome, Adriana," the crowd said with smiles on their faces"Thank you all, I'm so prevailed to be joining such a kind and noble pack," Adriana said "Now that the introduction are over, we shall move on to the initiation ceremony" Alpha Carmen said as his gaze fell on me, "Join me on stage Adriana" Alpha Carmen added as Adriana immediately went to join him on the stage"Let us begin Adriana, daughter of the moon, tonight marks your entry into our pack," Carmen decla
Third person pov "Believe me. If I'm aroused, it's definitely not my stupid mate I want. You would be my best choice now, " Adriana blurted out without thinking, then slapped her hands over her mouth. Alpha Abel's eyes widened at her admission; she hadn't meant to say it aloud. "You don't want me. It's the heat," Alpha Abel said frustratedly, "you should lay on the bed and try to sleep.""We both know that won't help," Adriana said, her gaze drawn to the man in front of her. Adriana has had enough of the pain and walked over to him, straddling him."Adriana," Alpha Abel warned, his voice stern as his intense gaze focused on her "Please help me, I can't bear the pain any longer. Please help me," Adriana begged Adriana looked into his eyes and saw his defenses crumble; "no matter what, don't touch me, or this will be over before it starts," Alpha Abel warned."Thank you," Adriana said softly, her sensitive core rubbing against his jeans. He shifted them to the chair, carrying her i
Third person pov "You say that but I want you Abel, like a woman wants a man, and I know you want me too because I've seen the way you look at me when we are together" Adriana said as she placed her hands on his cheeks, he rubbed his head against her palm as a soft sigh left his lips"Adriana, I admit I want you, but if we go further than this, I will want more. Are you willing to give me more?" Alpha Abel said as he caressed her cheeks "I don't want to get hurt Abel, so can we go slow" Adriana asked as she look up at him, her vulnerability shining in her eyes "I can accept that" Alpha Abel said as he leaned in to place a kiss on her cheeks "Okay, now please can you make the pain go away because I'm barely holding as it is" Adriana said as she leaned in and kissed him on the lips, he pulled her close and deepened the kiss, after a few minutes he pulled away a smile on his lips"I would be glad too" Alpha Abel said, a shy smile on his face, as he kissed her nose, then moved to her j
Adriana povI woke up to an empty bed and the memories of last night came rushing back and I couldn't help but feel embarrassed, I was practically begging him to fuck me, I thought as I covered my face in embarrassment, he must think I'm cheap and patheticI just want the ground to open and swallow me, I got out of bed and I could still feel the ache for last night and even though i was embarrassed, I couldn't help but smile, he was very patient and gentle with me. How was I going to face him now? After everything that happened yesterday, it was going to be hard to just be friends with him, I may or may not have developed a crush on him as we got closer, he said he liked me also last night, so maybe, just maybe we could have something "I need to take a shower first," I said to myself as I walked into the bathroom, washing off the evidence of last night as the memories kept playing over in my head, making me blush slightly When I was done taking a shower, I changed into something
Adriana povThe look on his face wasn't encouraging at all. He looked so broken, different from the confident man I knew before. Which made me wonder what was going on in his head? Maybe it had something to do with what I said about his mate."Are you okay?" I asked as I placed my hand on his and squeezed softly "Sorry, that's a sore subject for me," Alpha Abel said as he looked up at me, I saw the pain in his eyes, and it made my heart hurt"What's wrong? Does it have to do with your mate?" I asked, and he nodded, "You don't have to talk about it if you don't want too" "You need to know so that you will know I'm serious about you," Alpha Abel said as he looked up at me"Okay, I'm all ears," I said as I turned a seat beside him"It happened ten years ago, I found my mate and I thought we were happy together but it turns out she was cheating on me and one night she ran away with her lover but they were both killed by a group of bandits, it was after they died I found out they were se
Adriana povI woke up to an empty bed, Abel was nowhere to be seen, I got out of bed and looked around, I noticed I wasn't at the cottage anymore and fear gripped me as I got out of bed"Abel, Abel, Abel," I called out but got no response. Everything was very quiet for my liking, which made me scared as I walked to the door of the room I pushed it open As I walked into the living room, it was also dark except for the reflection of the moonlight shining inside the room, I tried calling out to Abel again, hoping that he would answer me this time"Abel, Abel, Abel," I called out again, but my response was silence. Where could he be? I thought to myself as my gaze continued to scan the room until it fell on a figure at the darkest part of the room, I couldn't make out the size of the person very well but it definitely looked like a man so I just assumed it was Abel and this was his house"Abel, what are you doing over there? You left me to sleep alone, is everything okay?" I asked, but I
