Richard’s POV:
This is how it ends.
I transformed back to my human form, my chest bare.
I looked around me, watching the Rogues being tied down around me. The death of Leon had caused an immediate and drastic drop in morale. The Rogues didn’t fight anymore, allowing themselves to be chained.
Among them, were the Evans family too. They had been brought out by the warriors as per my orders.
The night was still as I stood in the center of such chaos.
I never knew silence could be quite this deafening.
“The battle is over,” I said, looking around me with steely eyes to my tired warriors, but still victorious. I felt satisfaction in seeing all the familiar faces around me. Not many of them fell, to my joy. “We will dispose of the traitors today and rebuild our pack. This victory isn’t anything but a symbol of our strength, and our unity. For in our unity,” I rolled my shoulders back and raised my voice even louder. “We will never fall.”
The cheers of my warriors were enough to dare me, and I turned to sneer at the crying faves of Mrs and Mr Evans.
I had received reports of Renee and Elise being found dead not far from the battlefield.
I briefly wondered who had done the deed but brushed it aside in favor of speaking once more.
“The traitors must be put to death tonight. No one must be left behind!” My orders brought another round of cheers to the entire pack and I nodded, turning around to walk off as begging and pleading could never heard from Mrs Evans herself.
I was buzzing with energy within me; energy that I needed to lash out at something with. Anything.
I didn’t look around me as I made my way to the clinic. I knew Arielle would be there tending to the wounded as much as possible. The image of Ethan coming through at ten last second to save Arielle from Leon’s blow came to my mind. I’d have to thank him deeply for doing such, even though I knew he’d simply make a snarky remark at me. For me, Arielle was irreplaceable and I was glad to not lose her.
I walked past all the people who were in the suddenly packed clinic, focused on finding my mate. As soon as I spotted her I walked over to her and grabbed her hand, pulling her to the direction of her office.
The need within me grew strongly and o found myself aching to be inside of her. She was silent as I pulled her through the hallway. I flung her door open and pulled us both through to the empty office and locked the door. In the next second, we were on top of each other, and I had her pressed against the wall and our lips linked together with urgency.
She had to be feeling the same thing I was.
She let out a moan as I sucked on that sensitive part of her neck and began to undo her fastening on her jeans.
Arielle whimpered as my fingers pressed the sensitive part of her core, stroking that nub so gently.
“Richard,” she said my name with so much fucking feeling, and promptly parted her legs as I divested her of her jeans, ripping apart her panties with one hand. My manhood was hard and needed to be inside of her.
In one fell swoop, I gripped her waist and raised her up, burying myself up to the hilt inside her. She groaned, and I muffled her sounds with another long kiss. My pace was brutal and needy. I gripped her roughly, commanding her as I moved in and out of her.
My mate panted with each motion and the door shook with the force of our movements.
I didn’t stop, only moved faster, chasing the impending ecstasy that I knew was coming. I braced Arielle, raising up her shirt to tug her soft mounded breasts out of her bra.
I took one nipple in my mouth, licking and tugging and biting softly. She moaned out loud and I hoped no one would hear us.
“Fuck,” I cursed as I felt my end coming sooner than I expected. With a loud growl
I finished inside of her, feeling her walls clench around me as she came in quick succession.
“Oh,” she moaned as I pulled my length out of her, and I caught her as her knees were weak. Leading her to the couch, the two of us ended up being locked in an embrace.
I was silent as she rested in our post-coital slumber; stoking her hair, o began to think of the future.
No more did we have Leon and Elise as an ever present obstacle in our lives. Now we were finally able to look to the future.
“Richard?” I heard her mumble my name.
“Hmm?” I hummed to show her that I was listening.
“I’m pregnant.”
I stilled, those words reverberated in my head as my mind slowly processed it.
“Oh,” I breathed out, unable to say a word lest I end up screaming.
“Oh?” She lifted her head up and our eyes met. I saw the fear inside those beautiful blue orbs. “Is that all you have to say?”
I opened my mouth and closed it, feeling like I had just done something wrong.
“Angel,” I began. “I think we’ve established that I’m not exactly in the right frame of mind to do anything. I mean,” I gestured to us. “We just had sex in your office while the entire bloody pack is in the clinic.”
She relaxed, giggling a little. I relaxed as well.
“I doubt they heard us. The walls are soundproof,” she stated somewhat unsurely.
“I hope not. I don’t want anyone hearing you,”
I growled and she laughed loudly.
“Okay, Alpha,” she teased and I never felt more desirous of a woman in my life. Then she promptly yawned.
“You need rest,” I chided her gently. “You’re carrying our child now.” She smiled at me, so sweetly.
Slowly, the two of us fell into slumber, and I found myself in a dream like no other. In that dream, Arielle was round-bellied and glowing, her pregnancy far along.
I saw Darren teasing me about having a child before he would.
I saw Lilian as well, chatting with my mate. Her belly was rounded too, although not as prominent as Arielle’s.
Then I saw Arielle in a hospital bed, smiling at a child in her arms.
And in my arms was another.
Twins.
‘What do we call them?’ She asked me with a glimmer in her eyes.
The names came to me from the voice of the moon goddess.
Amaris and Jasper.
The End.
Thank you so much for reading. I love you guys soooo much.
Hello everyone; I hope this meets us well. Just wanted to say my new book would be out tomorrow and the title is; Two Alphas, One Mate! but I'll be posting the peak of the chapter one here, please read it, support it. I assure you, it's going to be better than the first, and all my errors I have duly noted. I need your support, vote, comment, and everything you can do. Thank you so much for always being there for me. It might be slow, not fast paced like any other books but I assure you, it's very good. CHAPTER ONE A knock on the door disrupted her sleep, causing her brows to crease as she rolled to the other side of the bed. She scrunched her eyes up, trying to get back to her sleep when another series of knocking came after. “Hmm.” She groaned out, her hand fumbling on the bed as she reached for the blanket, throwing it over herself and acting cozy inside of it. “You have to open the door princess,” she heard her maid say from the door, causing the frown on her face to deepen.
KELEIGH’S POV My father’s claws gleamed in the light of the overhead lamp of the room as he raised his hand in the air, preparing to swipe. My breath caught in my throat as I pressed against the wall he had roughly pushed me into in a rage after he had caught I and Jake in the act of canoodling. He roared in fury as he bore down on Jake. I could understand why he was so enraged. Jake was the Alpha of the Moonlight pack, and my father was the Alpha of our pack, the Wesselton Pack. Both our packs have been in a bloody feud for so long that no one even remembered how it started in the first place. Countless wolves from both packs had died for generations over this feud. And Jake was about to be the next person. “My daughter!” My father growled at him. "How dare you!" My heart galloped with panic as I stared at the scene in front of me. My father in a state of half-shift, his clothes already partly torn from it. Jake, pinned below him, his eyes filled with so much fear and shock as he
Arielle’s POVMy world was shattered that day, and the joy I imagined I would feel when I met him was nothing but a dream.His voice was not raised at me, yet I could feel the intent to wound me in his words. And, oh, did they hurt. Leon was nothing if not effective, and it showed now more than ever.“I never loved you, Arielle,” he said, not for the first time. He was trying to convince me to let go, but I could not. My tears streamed down my cheeks like twin rivers. I could not breathe, and my knees felt weak.I reached for him, clinging to his arm and begging him, with everything I had, not to say those words again. It was far too much for me to bear. It was a nightmare.He shook his arm from mine, and I
Arielle’s POVI enjoyed the warmth as the sun streamed in through the car window. It was barely 10am, yet the sun was high up in the sky already. I loved it – this part of the country really suited me. I enjoyed the sun, and summer all year-round.The driver made a turn onto a smaller road, and I could see the gate of the pack compound right in front of us. My lips turned up in a smile, despite my anxiety. This was a new place after all.We passed through the gates after a few moments. One of the guards had asked for my name and I gave it, “Arielle Grey,” and only seconds passed before we were finally let through.Another minute or so passed before the car stopped in front of a large house.As I exited
Richard’s POVThe work never ends.I sat in my study having a quick rest, having drawn the curtains. It seemed that I never had enough time in the day to complete my work, and it had led me to staying up all night dealing with paperwork, again.I sighed, rubbing my eyes, which were sensitive at this moment. Being Alpha was definitely not for the faint of heart.Unfortunately, it seemed that rest was evading me. Thankfully, I still had a bit more time to fit in a power nap, before I met with the council that afternoon.My nose twitched as I recognised my Beta’s distinct scent. A second later, I heard his knock on the door, and I shut my eyes, pretending to be asleep. Hopefully, Darren would see that and walk away q
Richard’s POV:“What do you want?” was the first thing I could think to ask. Being sleep-deprived was not a good feeling, and the hot shower I had helped to loosen my stiff muscles, thus worsening my drowsiness.I could see Elise flinch as I practically snapped the question at her, whilst moving to my closet to pick out and wear something suitable for bed. I removed the towel from my waist unceremoniously, and I could feel her eyes rake over my naked bottom half like she had never seen it before. I felt a tinge of frustration and anger right then; she had not answered my question.“Elise,” I ground out, “if you have nothing worthwhile to say, then please get out. I don’t have time for you or your antics today.” I finished putting on the cotton pyjama pants, turning to
Arielle’s POV:I had finally finished unpacking.Sighing with a feeling of triumph filling me, I looked around my new room. There was a sense of belonging that I had begun to have now, and me fully unpacking was a sign of settling down, finally.Ever since I left my precious pack for medical school, I had become a nomad of sorts. I never unpacked my things fully, always ready to move at the last second. I did not do this consciously, but it now dawned on me that I was avoiding settling down before.Now, I was ready – ready to settle into my life in this new pack, and for all the possibilities that lay before me.A hope bloomed inside my chest, making me feel warm on the inside and grin like an idiot on the outside
Richard’s POV:It was a new day, and I had finally awoken after forcing myself to get some rest the previous day. I had managed to also finalise my plans to send Elise to the Everneal pack as the main delegate on my behalf. She had not been pleased when she had heard it from me the previous evening, when I had called her into my study just a little while after I had forced her out of my room.Now, as I was pacing the length of the large study, my mind was focused on other important pack matters I had to deal with, specifically those to do with our growing relationship with the neighbouring packs.Before, when my father was Alpha, the Redding pack was not as powerful as we are now. We were a small pack, and our territories were just the same as well. However, now that we were expanding our territories and our influence, the neighbouring packs have now looked to us as a threat, and that has been a big problem we have been dealing with.As Alpha, it was the top priority to work on.I was
