Alle Kapitel von Love Me Not : a haunted alpha tale: Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 10

"You look fine, now can we go already?"My twin brother, Ricky, whines with exasperation as he leans against the doorframe of the hotel room we had rented. I look at myself in the mirror for the last time, wondering if I should have done something different with the auburn hair that ran loose down my back and if my short black dress was showing off too much skin for the meeting Ricky and I were being forced to attend. "Fine!" I sigh, flashing the mascara wand through my eyelashes one last time before tugging on my heels. "What's your rush anyway?"Ricky rolls his eyes at me before grabbing my purse and throwing it at me, rushing me out of the door."I want to see who else is being placed this year. You know, we haven't left Grampa's place in ten years but I'm sure I'll be able to recognize some of our old playmates." I smile at his enthusiasm. At least one of us is keen for this whole placement for training saga. Having been out of the pack life for the last ten years has made me a

Having been homeschooled, I missed out on bitchy teenage drama for which I was eternally grateful. Unfortunately, one of the recruits decided to catch me up on all I had missed. "Oh look, here comes the rogue. Be careful Natalia, pack wolves kill rogues." Amber eyes flutter innocently as Lana Cole turns her back on me and my roommates and gathersher flock of sheep around her. I'll show her rogue! Ember growls. The tiny upstart needs her ass beaten properly. I ignore both Ember and Lana, smiling sweetly to the other girls. I am determined to be the bigger person. The guys join us with Jaydon who quickly establishes a no-talking-while-he-is-talking rule. "Ok, runts. Let me see what you've got. The last person to get around the lake and back here does the dishes tonight. Every recruit for themselves! Go, go, go!" We all take off at a sprint, some of the guys leaving us in the dust as their long legs afford them quick strides. Suddenly that same intoxicating woody smell hits me

After yet another restless night, I drag myself out of bed. It's been two weeks since I've seen Liam but every night when I close my eyes I dream of him. It's the mate bond. Ember explains in her bossy way. It's trying to get you to jump his bones so you can either accept that or reject him. I tell my roommates to go ahead to training and I'll catch up, wanting a moment to myself to compose myself.  I enter the small bathroom,  splashing ice cold water on my face to force myself to wake up.  A quick glance in the mirror makes me cringe.  My skin is pale,  my green eyes slightly bloodshot and my auburn hair looks more brown than auburn, hanging limply down my back. Try as I might,  I only make myself look faintly better - plating my hair and pinching my cheeks to try instil some colour into them.  "That's as good as its going to get." I say to myself before I brush my teeth, throw on my training kit and run down to the training grounds where th

After days of little to no sleep, my body launched itself into full blown hibernation and I spent the two days we were given off between sleeping and snacking on the mountain of food Megan kept me supplied with. By the end of the second day I was more than ready to face the world and get back to training. After our obligatory run around the lake, Jaydon and another man who introduces himself as Beta Suarez announce that we'll be having a special guest to our training today. Alpha Fletcher himself! "The Alpha is so hot. He trained the same time as my brother and we ended up hanging out all the time." Lana giggles, tying her shirt into a knot at the front so that it tightens suggestively against her breasts. Juan and Matt overhear the discussion and roll their eyes in unison. "You planning on being the Alpha's new bedmate there Lana?" Juan asks her with a suggestive thrust of his hips. "Although I'm sure once with you would be enough."

Slow and secret definitely upped the intrigue factor, however getting away from the other recruits without being noticed proved to become increasingly difficult. I secretly found myself bumming out on training exercises just so that I'd get saddled with dish duty. Every time without fail Liam would appear and help me out then we'd either chat for ages afterwards or end up in a heated make out session. I have to admit that every time I looked at Liam I felt the need to thank the fates that we were mated. If I had to spend my life linked with another person I was glad it was him. He is the whole package: intelligent, funny, sexy as heck! It's hard to keep my hands off of him when he's nearby… but maybe that's just the whole mate-bond thing. Jaydon had set us to sparring every day since Vicky's attack, nervous that the assailants would return since they didn't accomplish whatever their goal was. We could all tell that the man was living on edge. "You're throwing this round on purpose.
