Todos los capítulos de The Alphas Secret Mate: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 10

RileyMy short drive into the main pack square only takes 10 minutes from the school. I have always loved the Silvermoon pack with its snow-capped mountain backdrop and dense green trees that keep us shielded and protected from the rest of the world. It's almost enough to give the illusion that all is right in the world—almost.I park round the back of Flora and Fauna, ducking in through the work entrance, hoping Mr. Jones won't notice I'm a few minutes late. I shut the door so I don't make a sound, tiptoeing across the staff quarters and the back workroom where we prep most of our displays."Riley." I pause, my eyes closing as I hear his gruff voice. I spin to see the back of my boss clipping some rose stems rather aggressively. "Yes," I squeak, chiding myself for acting like an errant child instead of a grown-ass woman. "You're late again. That's 6 times this month. If you can't handle the hours, let me know and I'll find someone else." He peers at me now, and my stomach drops. I ca

LoganSadie was hosting a house party tonight like she did whenever her parents were out on patrol. Why my dads never made the connection to not leave a child on their own for the night was beyond me. Perhaps Sadie persuaded her parents to switch so she could host a party. Who knows.Olly stood beside me in the kitchen where a punch bowl was currently being spiked by goddess knows what. Two kegs sat to the side with a stack of cups, and several of our friends were currently drinking straight from the tap. Tad was DJ for the night, the tunes blasting through the house with the disco lights flashing in time to the beat. Several people were already dancing despite it still being early.Violet was off with her clique of friends. The core trio kept looking my way, and as much as I wanted to tease my sister that her friends were trying to get close to me, she wouldn't believe it anyway. I'm sure she would say in her bratty voice that they didn't fancy me as they remember me eating paste or

Logan"You're such an asshole! You know that, right? How am I supposed to show my face at school now?" Violet yells at me in my room, and the tendrils of a hangover are setting in. "Look, you're right. I overreacted, but you're not innocent in all this. Why? You had Sadie corner me so you could make out with some guy you don't even know. That's fucking manipulative, Violet!" She pouts for a moment, but her gaze softens before she shakes her head."I just wanted to feel like a normal girl. I don't want no one to come near me because they are worried one of our dads is going to skin them alive. Now they have to worry about you too.Everyone puts me on a pedestal. Sure, I don't hate it all the time. But some days I don't want to be 'Violet Reynolds.' I just want to be me." I pulled her in for a hug. I knew what she meant.There was so much pressure with being the alpha heirs, and whilst Violet wasn't in the direct line for alpha of the pack, she was still looked at as a role model. If we

LoganMum had gone all out for dinner. I'm not sure who else she was expecting as it was just Olly. We mainly hang out outside the house. Partly because my mum could get rather nosy when she had too much wine. Mainly because my dads used our dinners as meeting debriefs like they would their pack members. Since Luca had left, there was little laughter and jokes at the dinner table."Olly, my goddess, you have grown." Cue eye roll as my mother squeezed Olly's cheeks like she did when he was three. "Stop, Mum. You saw him this morning," I grumbled, walking past her as she patted him down like she was checking for injuries. "That wasn't the same. You snuck him out before I could get a good look at him. Look how handsome you are," she gushed as Olly both lapped it up and gave me a pleading look for help."Who's handsome?" My other father, Sebastian Reynolds, strode in looking annoyed that Mum found anyone else attractive except him. He stood behind Mum, his arms wrapped around her waist to

RileyIt was another day back at Flora and Fauner, and as I watered the plants in the window, I couldn't shake the irritation from last night and arguing with Olly. I never argued with my son, and it seemed like that's all we had done lately. I didn't like it.As I bit my lip, weaving through the shrubs and bouquets, I also needed a plan to get out of this dinner. I had spent all night tossing and turning, trying to think of a polite way to decline my alpha's invite. I just couldn't understand why now Aurora was so set on restarting our friendship. Every time I thought of her, her mates, it just reminded me what I lost. The battle, Dylan, the baby.I had tried to push through it. Not to blame her. After all, I was a single mom with an infant, grieving. I needed her help. As the dust settled, I just couldn't stop myself from resenting her and her family for being the reason I was in this mess. It had been so long I can't even remember what the final straw was. I just knew I had enough.
