All Chapters of Alpha's Little Secret: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

KAEL “Do you have what it takes to love a man, Alpha Kael?” "Alphas don't love Omegas, right?" "Pathetic, fucking pathetic." That, and many more were the questions I always asked myself, minutes before I snuck into the damned omega's temporary apartment once again. Day in, and day out. I couldn't resist him, and he couldn't resist me. Now before you judge and shame me for sleeping with MY mate, let me tell you the story of how it all started. And know this, I would fuck my mate in a heartbeat, irrespective of what anyone said. *** The forest stretched endlessly ahead, dark and familiar, damp with the scent of pine and the cold earth. The moon had cast this whole silvery sheen over the dense canopy, its light now trickling through the trees in faint beams. Ughhh. My paws pounded the ground with that steady, and confident rhythm I was known for, the wind curling through my thick dark coat as I darted past the brambles and roots. My packmates flanked me on all sides... at e

KAELThose words cut through the air like a double-edged blade."What the fuck have you done?"This was the moment I could have used to change back. I didn't. Couldn't. My wolf stood frozen in that clearing, our hackles still raised, while our body hummed with both power and confusion. My wolf was confused on why our mate seemed not to want us.The taste of his blood still clung to my tongue... all sharp, coppery, and multiple shades of wrong. I hadn't meant to bite. I hadn't meant to do any of this.I had not meant to mark the boy. But the instincts had taken over, and it was a full moon, and...Fuck, the boy was coming at me.Fast, naked, and bleeding from where I had scratched him. Eyes all wild and lips trembling with what could only be fury. But I wasn't thinking about any of that when he launched himself at my wolf form, his fists slamming against the fur and muscle there.He was beautiful. Damn, gorgeous. With silver hair like the moon, and a face many would go to war for. He

KAELIt was time to return back to the one place we belonged. The pack.The forest path stretched out long and winding beneath our feet, a reminder of how fad we'd gone and how far we still had to walk. This would have been over hours ago if we had just turned into our wolves and sprinted back to the pack.We were being too slow, and I did not like it."It'll be better if we walk, Alpha," Brant had suggested his morning, when I decided it was time to leave. "At least we would be able to pick up any strange scent we might have missed when we ran as wolves the other time."I had agreed because it sounded like a sensible plan at the moment.It wasn't.The scent we had been chasing was long gone. Again. But I couldn't tell the boys to shift into wolves now, not when they were..."We should consider moving more of our patrols closer to the east ridge." Brant said, suddenly walking beside me. He had been quiet for most of the journey, choosing to brood about something he wasn't ready to tal

RIVERFor the records, I hadn't expected it to feel like that.I've had crushes before, on both males and females, but not like this. The air between us had shifted... hot, magnetic, and so unbearable... and Kael’s damn face was so close I could taste the unspoken desire hovering the space between us.Every single part of my body became tensed, waiting in anticipation. Every single part.When I said the words, "Kiss me," I meant it. I meant it with every thread of confusion knotting my gut and every wild pulse in my neck.But the kiss never came because someone had to knock on the door at that exact time.A loud, sudden knock at the door that ripped Kael back like he'd touched an open flame. He recoiled from me with a hissed breath, his back straightening like he'd been caught doing something criminal.Those eyes of his... those dark, commanding eyes snapped toward the door like a man on the brink of losing his mind.I was still trying to catch my breath when the door opened."Knock

RIVERThe mornings here in the Blackthorn pack were crisp, the kind that bit faintly at the skin and carried the scent of pine sap through the streets.There I was, standing outside the pack’s small education hall, warming myself further by wrapping my arms around a steaming mug of tea and pretending not to notice the way my knees wobbled beneath me.The fucking dizziness had started two days ago.Nothing dramatic... just a wave here and there, a faint warmth in my head, like my body was constantly a few steps behind my mind. It was easy to hide... a well-timed smile at one person, a quick excuse to sit. No one had to know, and I wasn't about to tell them.The last thing I needed when I was here was attention. Especially when it meant there might be a visit from Kael.Goddess forbid I forget the way the Alpha had looked at me in my apartment, the heat in his gaze before Corwin knocked. And the way he'd left, like I had been some sort of fire and he'd gotten too close."No."That was s
