[ALPHA ALPHONSO] ******** How could he make her accept him? He wasn't a patient man when it came to what he wanted. He rubbed his feet together, wondering what he must do and immediately. He was horny, he had been so busy with the meeting that he never got the time to fuck one of the she-wolves who had kept stuffing her boobs into his face. And with his mate inside the pack, he wanted a release more than anything. "What if she plays hard to get? What then?" He wondered and sat up. How far would he go? "You are the alpha, now, think of what you will do without crushing her." Remembering his position, his duty, he couldn't help but remember her duties too. It was a hinder and he hated it. He was the alpha first, and as such, his pack’s safety came first. Knowing well the importance of Ciandra inside his pack, he had to make sure not one thing would hinder her work. He knew what a warrior meant, the values of the Vagabond Pack, and the duties laid upon them from years ago un

She watched the man leaving with his shoulders slumped, although she didn’t have the experience of mates, for a few seconds she thought he was acting the correct anyone would if they were in his shoes. Looking around, her stomach sunk, she missed her pack, her home. Most importantly, she missed visiting the Shutter Island and Pryden, House of Noirin. Thinking of the two houses and the mating issue, a weird thought crossed her mind, wondering what if her pack members visited them without her knowledge. “No. They could never hide something useful from me.” Self-doubt and regrets were something she didn’t want to exhibit. But really, how long would she be doing this? How soon will she get an answer if she indeed has a mate and how ate her up? “Accept him and move on, what would happen if you do anyway?” A tiny insecure voice told her. “Hell no.” She couldn’t, not now, not ever. The moon goddess already stated the pack was to be mateless and unaffected by the heating season. So far, s

**WARNING** An eerie silence welcomed her when she entered Alpha Alphonso’s office, before she climbed into her bed, Callister had come to call her, informing her the alpha needed a word with her. And from how things went from the cave to the packhouse earlier, Alpha Ciandra was a hundred percent sure the man wanted to talk things about the pack. The small light from outside dimly lit the office, she couldn’t miss the interior design of the office. It was breathtaking, and well arranged with his cologne lingering on the air. Alpha Ciandra saw a piece of paper on the table, she picked it up, and for a few seconds, she admired the handwriting, the words were written meticulously as if they had all the time in the world. She read, "you left me. Alone." She rolled her eyes and proceeded, "I have gone to my bedroom to freshen up, I will be waiting for you in my office there. Hurry. It is important." Giving the office one last look, she folded the paper and dropped it in her pocket.

Elder Karela's voice from outside didn't seem pleased at all, and Alpha Ciandra knew for sure the old wolf wouldn’t leave any time soon. It has been weeks since she saw the woman last, so, whatever reason she was there clearly she couldn’t wait till later. Alpha Ciandra went into her shower, showered hurriedly, dressed up, and opened the door for the woman with a fake smile. She appeared as collected as she could, and when the woman pushed past her, she held the door tightly to avoid falling. "Have I always been this weak?" She wondered as she closed the door. She wasn't someone who doubted herself, but after the alpha easily got his way with her, she wasn’t sure anymore if she had been strong, to begin with. Had it always been a lie? She thought. Alpha Ciandra managed a curt nod towards the one chair inside her bedroom. "Elder Karela, how may I help?" She asked. The woman had disdain in her eyes, she pointed to the bed and Alpha Ciandra finally realized why she was giving her

She ignored the burning look she could feel from the alpha, with her face glued to the window she was surprised Beta Pierre didn’t ask again if she was okay. She pushed away all nasty thoughts that threatened to surface and waited to be told they have arrived. **Three hours later** Alpha Ciandra woke up to Alpha Alphonso removing a strand of her hair out of her face with no shame, she jerked up, hit him on the chin, and moved far away from him. From the front seat, Beta Pierre joked, “damn, you are feisty when you wake up.” “Beta Pierre, give us a minute.” Alpha Alphonso said with his eyes on her, when the door locked, he grabbed her chin, “don’t you dare do anything drastic, I want you to be on your best level.” “Do you have to grab my chin?” She slapped his hand away with anger in her eyes, “can you stop fucking with me.” Deep down she was trembling, inside she was a child on a corner wondering what she went wrong and if this was finally her fate. Alpha Alphonso returned too
