Unveiled by the Alpha

“What has happened here?” Olivia looked from Aravia to Silas for answers. But before she could hear her master speak, she bolted for the door. She ignored the sounds of her steps echoing loudly in the stairway and the calls of Mage Olivia resounding from above. She could only hear her heart as it pounded in her ears. Her body was still on fire. Something was wrong with her.She had made it to the forest without realizing it, as if led by an invisible force. She inhaled the sweet scent of the woods, trying to calm down, but it felt all wrong. The scent became stronger and overbearing in her nostrils. She coughed, choking on it like smoke. Her body was burning even hotter now, her heart pounding faster and louder. Her bones went from an ache to feeling like they were being pulled apart from her sinew and flesh. As her vision began to darken, she could only manage one thought. I have to cool down. She staggered to the side of the small river, where she had cleaned so many herbs. Without

“They’re here, Alpha.” The serious tone in Sam’s voice let Aidan know he was talking to his father instead of him. Aidan followed his Beta’s gaze out the window in time to see a large, black SUV pull in front of the house. Although Aidan was in fact an Alpha, his father Gabriel was the Pack Alpha. This meant that even though he was Gabreil’s son and successor, Aidan was not the True Alpha of the Pack. It didn’t mean that he didn’t have any authority. All of his pack treated him the same as Alpha Gabriel, given that he would someday take over as True Alpha.“Thank you, Sam.” Alpha Gabriel’s hulking figure rose from his chair and motioned for the surrounding warriors to follow. Aidan was so unlike his father, it was dumbfounding. While Gabriel was a thick, muscled man with a quick temper, Aidan was a slender, tall man with a long fuse. Truly, most Alphas were jacked with angry tempers and power lust in their eyes. Aidan was muscular, but his figure- hidden under an almost OCD-like prop

“What is happening?” Back in her room, Aravia was trying to reign her emotions in. She had heard the laughter of a gamma down the hall. The slamming of a door, and then moans and what was presumably a headboard banging against the wall. She had assumed it to be the cocky Alpha’s son, Aidan. She knew it was unfair to presume such things without meeting him formally, but she also knew that wasn’t likely to happen anytime soon. So, she focused on her sightings and indirect encounters with him to base her opinion of his identity. “Fuck. . .” She felt her heart quicken when she heard his cry. His voice was ripe with his pleasure. Something Aravia had never experienced herself or given to another person. It was starting to make her heat up again. Her body was burning once more, and the space between her legs began to hum and buzz with arousal. She started to pace to get rid of the feeling. Calm your breath. She repeated to herself over and over, but it did nothing to stop the erratic brea

Aidan had finally gotten his brain to fall asleep, when he awoke to a scream. It was a blood curdling scream that instantly chilled his heart. Without time to think, he jumped out of his bed and ran toward the sound. Silas and the guards were already there outside the apprentice’s door.“Listen to me!” Silas was telling the guard, who wasn’t listening at all. Instead he was furiously banging on the door and calling out to Aravia. “What’s going on?” Aidan asked the guard.“I don’t know Alpha, there was a scream and the door’s locked.”“Open it.” “It’s just a night terror!” Silas yelled to them both. “She has had them since she was a girl. She’s fine!” Silas pleaded. In truth, he didn’t know if Aravia had the habit of sleeping without her veil. And if anyone saw her face, then they would know the lie, and he wouldn’t be able to conceal her any longer. “I said open it!” Aidan’s senses were heightened now. He could smell the apprentice's fear. It was a fear that he had smelled as a ch
