All Chapters of The Alpha's Unexpected Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“You think this dirty little street wolf can handle the weight of my silver fur?”Seth Adebayo’s dark baritone sliced right through the silk veil covering my face. He didn't use a gentle touch. His massive, scarred hand clamped hard around my throat, not enough to choke me, but just enough to force my chin upward so I had to look into those burning amber eyes.“I do not know how my blood got onto that registration parchment, Alpha,” I gasped out. My heart went fast, hitting against my ribs like a trapped bird, but I kept my body perfectly still. For fifteen winters inside the Mensah Clan, I had played the role of a broken, scentless omega. If I shifted my weight even an inch, if my footwork showed the years of lethal combat training my mother secretly beat into me before she perished, this apex predator would rip my throat out right here on the sheets.Seth let out a low, vibrating rumble from his chest that made the entire oak frame of the bed tremble. “You expect me to believe a pat

There was something dangerously unpredictable about my presence tonight. One moment, I was a submissive outcast; the next, I was striking at his throat with executioner precision. His inner wolf was thoroughly hooked by the contradictions. He found himself staring, trying to calculate exactly what kind of lethal creature was hiding behind the ash and how magnificent that silver bloodline truly was.People treated the heir of the Adebayo Dominion like an unyielding monument of stone and terror. But beneath the mafia empire and the blood treaties, he was an apex male who respected raw power and a mate who could match his bite. By some twist of the ancestors, the rogue forced upon him might be the exact challenge he had been searching for.Seth leaned back against the furs, a familiar smirk returning to his face. He noticed the way my scent spiked with irritation the second his eyes lingered too long on my frame. He reached out, tapping the empty space on the mattress beside his thigh. “

I had spent my final hours inside the Shadow room studying the hierarchy of the Adebayo Dominion, and it hadn't taken long to realize that Irene held an immense amount of domestic power within the fortress.Jarrett had ruled the dominion during the border expansions, and while tradition stated the role of high matriarch belonged to his true mate, she had vanished fifteen winters ago into the neutral zones, leaving no trace behind not even a scent trail. Irene had stepped into the power vacuum before the council could vote on a successor, and she had held onto the keys of the treasury ever since.Even after four decades in a violent territory, Irene looked perfectly preserved. She carried the sharp elegance of a wolf accustomed to total obedience, her dark leather garments were tailored from rare shadow-beast hides, and her cold, calculated features revealed an executioner’s mind.I could instantly detect the venom she was masking behind her polished, aristocratic smile. I let my shoul

RAPHA OKOYE"Get up and act like you are dead," I whisper to myself, keeping my eyes shut tight.The heavy wood door of the luxury suite clicks shut, and I finally open my eyes. I am lying flat on my back on a massive velvet bed inside Valoria Ridge, staring up at the stone ceiling—a dark, bitter laugh bubbles up in my throat.Everything I ever hoped for from Tade Mensah is dead and buried. I wasted too many seasons wishing the old Alpha would show me a shred of real fatherly love. Every single time he calls for me, he just rips open the old scars.Years ago, Tade was nothing but a low-ranking rogue healer from a broken pack, starving and desperate. Nia Bello, his first mate, rejected him the second she caught the scent of an Alpha with deeper hunting grounds and a larger territory.But then Tade stole my birth mother, Nyara’s secret wolf serum research. He used her genius to build the entire Mensah Clan from the dirt. He climbed to power on her dead body. Once he became the powerful

RAPHA OKOYE"Look at that old wolf go," a rogue near the door sneers, downing a bowl of raw meat water.Inside the central hall of the Valoria Ridge neutral territory, Nia Bello is putting on a sickening show. Even though she has seen forty winters, the dark magic of her high-ranking bloodline keeps her skin smooth and her curves tight. She uses her scent like a weapon, pushing out desperate heat trails to attract any male with fangs.Tonight, she has torn her leather tunic so low it barely hides her markings. She is completely out of her mind on fermented moon-berry juice. Three low-life delta wolves from a scavenger pack pick up her trail and close in. Their claws dig into her hips, ripping the leather further as they laugh, their hot breath hitting her neck."Ma'am, your Alpha must be neglecting your den," the biggest delta barks, his yellow teeth bared. "No warrior at home to keep your inner wolf satisfied?"Nia spits black saliva right into his face. "I have an Alpha, but his wol
