All Chapters of Becoming the Female Alpha: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

“I am leaving.” I said in a small voice, my body angled towards Ariel as I watched her facial expression. We were sitting side by side on the only piece of furniture in my room, staring vacantly into space. It was the only furniture I could allow without feeling like I was blood sucking leech out to wreck the pack.I was an outsider after all; I didn’t deserve to enjoy any benefits from them if I wasn’t contributing to the growth of the pack.Ariel was very easy to read as she wore her heart on her sleeve, and it was interesting to watch the way her brows furrowed and the right one arched high, then her lips curled downwards, and she snapped her head to look at me with squinted eyes.“What?” She exclaimed, almost jumping out of her seat, and I had to hold her down before she attempted such actions.“Be careful, Ari, the baby.” I chastised her in a soft voice, because goddess forbid she had an accident while she was with me.Kane would never forgive me, and it would destroy whatever t

I pushed the door to his office open and slammed it hard, my eyes fixed on him as I waited for a reaction, but the bastard was too calm and way collected to react.Kane’s gaze lazily left the piles of books that were sitting on his desk, and he glared at me. “There is no need to put a door when you blatantly refuse to use it.”He was referring to my habit of just entering inside without waiting for his response.We have been over this; a lot of words have been exchanged, maybe fist too, but I was not about to change. In my defense, a knock was more than enough to alert him of my presence.And if he was the ‘great’ alpha he claims to be, he should have already perceived my scent a long time ago.The fucker keeps forgetting we are equals.Anyway, I came for something important, and that was the only reason I let his comment slide.“I am leaving the pack.”“About time, you have overstayed your visit.” I could swear I heard him say it under his breath, but his facial muscles barely moved.

“I don’t know; I was busy training, making sure I don’t die, fighting, trying to conquer lands, and maybe fighting my brothers.” I explained, listing them with my fingers, and they all looked at me with squinted eyes.“What the hell, Maddie? You did nothing but fight,” Emily exclaimed, still unable to fathom how I had lived my years with being boy crazy. “How did you not die of boredom?”“Anyways, that is not why we are here.” Ariel interrupted before it could get out of hand. “We are down to the important part. Giftttsss.” My ears rang at the screams that followed, and Ariel directed a glare towards me as she didn’t hear my voice.“Yayy!” I said in the most monotone voice I could muster, making her frown deepen, but I only shrugged. That was the most excited ‘noise’ I could muster.“You could be at least a bit enthusiastic.” She grumbled, rolling her eyes. “Anyway, we would take turns opening our gifts, and I would be the last to go.”“Yeah, sure, let’s just get this started.” I took

His words descended down like cold water, enough to dampen whatever mood we were in, and I released a long sigh.The moment we had shared was shattered, and he had managed to ruin the beautiful time that we had.“You can’t do that.” My whispers were the only thing that could be heard in the room. Everything was still; even the noise of the air conditioner was now a dull hum, as if they could all sense how serious the situation was.“Maddie.” Toby tried pulling me towards him, but I shrugged his hands off, refusing to be lured.“You can’t do that, Toby; you can’t. This was the only request I told you not to ask me, yet you did it.” I tightened my fingers in the fist—tight enough that my knuckles were getting white—it was the only thing that was keeping me sane.“I know; I thought I could do it, Maddie. I thought I could watch you go and continue living my life, but after today I know it is impossible.”“Toby!” I cried out, turning my back to him as a lone tear fell down my eyes. I have
