All Chapters of She's the Alpha's Mate (OMEGAVERSE): Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

"What the heck is all of this?!”Valerian’s booming voice echoed through his sprawling office, his sharp, irritated gaze fixed on Luna. His mood had soured hours ago after his meeting with the Smiths fell through—and now Luna stood before him, a mountain of paperwork in her arms that threatened to bury him alive.“What else would it be, Mr. Rutherson? It’s your paperwork. Are your eyes failing you? Maybe I should schedule you an appointment with an ophthalmologist to have your vision checked,” Luna said, her tone laced with dry sarcasm.“Damn it, Luna! I’m not in the fucking mood for your nonsense right now! Didn’t I just finish a pile of paperwork yesterday? So why is there still this much for me to review and sign?!” Valerian snapped, his frustration palpable. Luna saw the anger in his eyes—but she didn’t care.Valerian Rutherson was the alpha who had forced her into a bond eight years ago, when his rut had overwhelmed him at the hotel she once worked at, and the one who made her th

Luna peeked cautiously into Valerian’s office, her breath catching. She couldn’t bring herself to step inside—not when he was flooding the room with pheromones so potent they made her skin prickle. She had to stay away; if he sensed her reaction, he’d figure out she was an omega, not the beta she’d pretended to be.She frowned, wondering why her boss seemed so on edge. She’d returned to Lacrose that afternoon knowing he’d heard about the Philadelphia branch’s crisis, but that didn’t explain this storm of pheromones. “What’s gotten into him?” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “Does he even realize he’s saturating the whole office?” Carefully, she pulled the door shut and hurried back to her desk.“Let’s avoid the alpha’s lair for now,” she muttered to herself. “His pheromones could trigger me, and he’d find out. He doesn’t hate omegas, but he refuses to interact with them. I can’t lose this job—not yet.”Just then, the intercom on her desk beeped—a sound that made her stomach dr

Valerian’s hand closed around the throat of the man who had tried to strike him with a pipe, his grip so tight the attacker gasped for air, unable to break free from his strength. Valerian’s clothes were stained with blood from the earlier men who had tried—and failed—to kill him.With a powerful heave, he threw the choking man against a steel post, bending it slightly on impact. Several of the attacker’s companions were already facing off against Samuel’s men.“You’ve killed enough, Valerian,” Samuel said, having just finished with his own opponent.Valerian had arrived at the south port and immediately engaged the Lane clan’s men—men who feared him, yet still dared to destroy his business and threaten his life.Valerian glanced at Samuel, whose eyes never failed to widen at the sight of Valerian’s golden irises. What Samuel had yet to witness, however, was Valerian’s werewolf shift—a power Valerian still couldn’t control, especially when he lost himself in the heat of the moment.“I
