All Chapters of Daddy’s Best Friend: My Alpha Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Corinne POV“I want to break every law that keeps me away from you tonight, even if the price is my soul.”That was how it began.Not a voice, but a restrained roar that tore through Glacier’s throat as he stormed into my room. His gray eyes had turned pitch black, with no trace left of the calm man who had driven me home that morning.I stumbled back in shock until my spine hit the edge of the bed. He ripped off his dark coat with a savage motion and threw it to the floor. Our eyes met, and my heart shook hard in my chest.“Glacier… you’re drunk, the smell of alcohol…”“It’s not the alcohol that made me lose my mind, Corinne!”He shouted as he closed in on me, trapping my thin body between his steel arms.“It’s your damn scent!”Before I could answer, he crashed his mouth into mine with a wildness I had never seen before. It was not a kiss asking for permission. It was an invasion. He devoured my lips with brutal hunger, sucking on my tongue with skill that stole the air from my lung

Corinne POVThree days passed like a dry desert. I did not say a single word to Glacier, and he did not try to break the wall of ice I built around myself. I moved like a ghost in his house, avoiding the ground floor, locking myself in my room whenever I heard his voice or Lumi’s irritating laughter that now filled every corner.On the morning of the fourth day, I was getting ready to leave, pulling on my oversized coat that swallowed my small body, when he stopped me at the door. He stood there in his usual dominance, his gray eyes watching me with a look I could not read.He held out a black bank card and said in his deep voice, the one that still shook something inside me despite my anger, “Take this. Buy everything you need for your coming of age ceremony. I want you to look like a true Alpha’s daughter. I will throw you a party worthy of the pack.”I looked at the card, then at his hard face. Inside me, gratitude tasted bitter. He thought he was buying my loyalty. In truth, he wa

Corinne POV"I am not a toy in your hands, Glacier!"I stood before him with every bit of strength I had left. My knees were shaking so hard I thought they would give out any second. I lifted my head and looked directly into his gray eyes. I refused to let the tears fall. Not yet.Glacier didn't move. He stood there like a statue made of black marble. But his eyes were devouring my face with a dark, hungry spark.The damn Heat was messing with my body. It made my skin crawl just from him being in the room. His scent was everywhere. Cedarwood, rain, and that raw, overwhelming masculinity. it broke through my defenses and begged me to throw myself into his arms. But my mind was screaming, "Enough!"Glacier was close. So close that I could feel his hot breath dancing on my forehead."I didn't feel the mate bond."My voice came out steady and strong. It sounded strange even to my own ears. His jaw tightened. I saw the veins in his neck pop out under his dark tattoos."No heat, no pull...

Corinne POVI focused on my shifts and my work, ignoring that bastard Glacier.The system here was almost sacred. Everything measured, monitored, tightly controlled.Amid all of that, I moved with a portable analysis device. No one paid me any special attention. I wasn’t in leadership, I wasn’t a fighter, and I wasn’t from one of the prestigious families.A second-tier wolf.I worked in the Pattern Analysis Department.Quiet, respectful, diligent… that was all.But when I reached the compound’s courtyard, Yossi was waiting for me, like she did at the end of most days. She was the gentle, innocent sister of Alpha Glacier.Sometimes, I doubted she was really his little sister. Since I came from the human world, she had been my companion, warm and kind, unlike that cold, overbearing Alpha.“You’re late.”Yossi said loudly, opening her arms as if welcoming a heroine returning from battle.Yossi, the Alpha’s sister, a frontline warrior, had a presence impossible to ignore.Bold, strong, qu

Corinne POV“I have to meet him, smell him, just to know!”“But waking before your coming-of-age ritual shows great power.”I took a single step toward the darkness, then stopped. My eyes glimmered despite the night.“Glacier doesn’t know caution when it comes to me. He will stand. He will face. And he will burn.”Einar’s reply came after a heavy silence:“But you burn too, every day, in silence.”I shook my head lightly, as if denying myself:“I master silence, Einar. And I trust that pain… if held long enough, becomes part of the skin.”“But it doesn’t heal.”I said nothing.For the first time, I didn’t even try to defend my choice.I wasn’t seeking victory, nor salvation.I was just… trying to keep things pure, away from the mud.And when I returned inside, I didn’t feel light, but I felt victorious… over my urge to collapse.Footsteps pressed against the leveled soil of the square, voices rising among guards and organizers like waves under a moon charged with pulse.The packs were
