The Alpha's World Claimed Me
A murmur of agreement rippled through the room, silenced only by the man at the head of the table, Alexei’s father, I assumed.
“Today is the day of the Full Moon,” his father announced.
“Alexei will be made Alpha, and his mate will be Luna.”
“But you know very well a human cannot lead us!” the old man refused to back down.
“Mr. Mario,” Alexei’s voice dropped an octave, demanding total obedience.
“Novel is her name, not 'human.' Consider that a warning.”
His eyes darkened, and the hall fell into a heavy, suffocating silence. I felt so out of place that I subconsciously reached for the necklace hidden beneath my shirt. I pulled it out, caressing the metal to soothe my anxiety.
