Alpha Hawthorne CHAPTER 23
-AURORA’S POV-Alpha Riel had organized a grand feast at the manor, extending special invitations to those particularly close to him, including Diego. To my surprise, I also received an invitation. Perhaps it was his method of reaffirming his earlier assurance that I should consider myself at home within his pack.That night, as I sat before the mirror, Ruth carefully combed my hair. She gazed at me with a warm smile. Over the past few days spent with Diego, Ruth and I had forged a close friendship, and in some ways, we had become best friends. Our bond was such that we felt entirely at ease in each other's presence.Ruth had also introduced me to a couple of her friends who worked alongside her in Diego's mansion. As she continued combing my hair, I sensed her gaze fixated on me, and she briefly halted her movements."You look stunning. I can't wait to see the reactions when you walk into the party," Ruth complimented with a warm smile. I playfully rolled my eyes and l

Upon entering the mansion, I found myself in a spacious hall. Initially, I hadn't recognized where we were, but as my gaze fell upon the enormous table stretching along one side of the room and the magnificent chandelier hanging from the ceiling, I realized that we were actually in Alpha Riel's expansive living room. Around fifty wolves filled the hall, but there were no chairs for sitting. Some had already taken to the dance floor, reveling in the music with their partners, while others stood along the sidelines, holding drinks in their hands as they observed the dancers before them. As soon as I entered, with Diego leading the way, all heads swiveled in our direction. Whispers resonated among the crowd, and some women seemed to fixate on me, perhaps perceiving me as a rival. I averted my gaze from their gaze and couldn't help but notice the men's stares, which felt as if they were trying to undress me with their eyes. I felt incredibly uncomfortable, and at one point, nervousness

Another slap followed swiftly before Harrison could utter a word.Diego's relentless grip on Harrison's collar had caused the color to drain from Harrison's face as he struggled to breathe. At this point, I stared around, meeting people’s gazes. I was so scared and had no idea what to do but what I knew that what I didn’t want was a murder right in front of me.People would talk, saying I had caused it and I would be hated, hunted by them, or chased out of the pack. Even Diego’s friends were surprised to witness what was going on before their eyes and so was the alpha."Diego, please stop," I pleaded desperately, but he paid no heed to my words. His grip continued to tighten, and I watched as Harrison's eyes filled with terror and tears streamed down his face. He struggled for breath, desperately attempting to break free from Diego's hold."Diego, STOP!" Alpha Riel's voice finally cut through the chaos. He snapped out of his daze, his brow furrowed with concern for Harrison's life.Di

*** SIX MONTHS LATER*** -ALPHA HAWTHORNE’S POV-Waking up in my room, I walked toward the window, gazing outside, my hand clutching the necklace I had left with my mate. It was the one thing that symbolized how much I loved her. She was the only one to whom I had ever given something I held such sentiment for.The necklace had once belonged to my mother before she passed away. With Aurora gone, I couldn't think properly, as my thoughts were constantly consumed by her absence. Even the maids were afraid to approach me or make the slightest mistake, knowing I might punish them severely for it.As planned, Ryan had already put out posters offering generous rewards for information about her, but there was still no result. I was beginning to lose hope that I would find her, and even Estefan had yet to report back. He had already set out on the mission I assigned to him, but his lack of communication worried me.I feared that my mate might have been abducted and taken to one of

I watched them in silence, my patience wearing thin as they remained frozen, caught in a moment of disbelief. It seemed like their words were imprisoned in their throats, and I couldn't help but view them with growing disdain as they appeared to be nothing more than cowards. A frown creased my brow at their behavior. It struck me that just a few months ago, they might have felt in control and perhaps even forgotten the extent of my true power. However, now they stood before me, their mouths tightly sealed, seemingly driven by the fear of invoking my wrath. Their silence seemed like an act of cowardice to me. "Mendez?" I called, my expression quizzical with one eyebrow arched. My attention shifted to the oldest among the group, a man who appeared to be over a hundred years old, with gray patches in his hair. "Alpha Hawthorne," he responded, and I waited with anticipation, hoping for a satisfactory explanation of what I had just heard. Upon learning from Ryan about the council's atte

He regarded me with an air of indifference, his gaze sweeping across the room before returning to me, his expression now tinged with concern. “How are you holding up?” he asked, unfolding his arms and taking a step closer.Remaining seated at the edge of the table, I rubbed my temple, my eyes closing as I frowned and my jaw clenched in irritation. Impatience coursed through me. I wasn’t one to tolerate my time being wasted and awaited his response with growing restlessness."I'm fine, just get to the point," I urged him, and he nodded in agreement. As he drew closer, his hand delved into his pocket, retrieving a folded paper which he handed to me.I gazed at the paper, my curiosity piqued as I extended my hand to accept it. I gave Ryan a questioning look. "What's this?" I inquired, but he gestured for me to look at it. Following his cue, I unfolded the paper and stared down at it in utter disbelief.It was a letter from Aurora! I looked back up at him, my mouth opening and closing in

-AURORA’S POV-The sound of a baby's cry jolted me awake from my slumber. I saw Ruth, holding the crying infant and gently trying to rock him back to sleep. However, her efforts seemed to be in vain, as the child continued to cry. The moment her gaze met mine, a sigh of relief escaped her lips."Finally," she exclaimed as she approached me. I extended my hand towards the child. As he slipped into my embrace, he gazed up at me with his blue eyes and let out a gentle chuckle.I smiled, and as I reached out, he grabbed a handful of my hair. "Thank you, Ruth," I expressed with heartfelt appreciation, giving her a grateful glance. She returned the smile and gave a gentle nod before taking a seat beside my bedside. “How are you feeling now?” she asked me as her hand clasped mine while her eyes stared at me with genuine concern lingering in them.It had been weeks since I gave birth to Xavier, the name I had chosen for my child. Diego and Ruth expressed a mixture of happines
Alpha Hawthorne CHAPTER 30
I stepped out of the car, cradling Xavier in my arms as he slept soundly. My body ached from being seated for so long in the cramped space, and I could feel my joints and muscles protesting with every movement. Diego walked over to me as I gazed at the building before us.It was the part of the manor assigned to me as the head maid. It appeared desolate and devoid of life, except for a few butterflies that danced around the gardens and the birds that perched in the trees, filling the air with their cheerful chirps."Do you like it?" he inquired, and as I turned to look at him, I could sense a tinge of disappointment in his expression as he observed the condition of the place. "I would have chosen a better one for you..." he added, his voice tinged with regret."It's perfect," I interjected, cutting him off while offering an assuring smile. Although the building appeared old and showed signs of wear and tear, it was nothing that couldn't be overlooked, and besides, it wasn't as if it w
