MarthaMy breath caught in my throat at Alex’s sudden proposal. I could hardly believe it. Never would I have ever imagined that I would get proposed to by Alex, but then again, I was too focused on the pressing issues to think about anything else.I couldn’t stop the tears from forming in my eyes. I have never been proposed to. I was just given away by my parents to Lucian when he became the Alpha, so I never knew how it felt like, until now.“Yes,” I whispered breathlessly, staring into his deep blue eyes that were threatening to suck me in. “Yes, I’ll marry you, Alex. I love you,”He didn’t reply, instead he leaned up and planted a kiss on my lips, a soft and sweet one that opened up his true emotions to me, and a tear rolled down my eye.“I love you more than life,” he whispered against my lips, causing me to shiver in delight. My wolf, Lady purred contentedly at our mate’s choice of words.“But we have to let everything settle down before we get married,” I had to put it out so
AlexMartha’s eyes lit up in pleasant surprise as she placed her hand atop my outstretched one. “Of course,” she replied and I pulled her towards the dance floor.It was a soft, slow-dancing song that allowed me to press and sway against her. I wrapped my hands around her waist firmly and she placed hers on my shoulders.I loved the feel of her. The way she slotted perfectly with my body. Even as the other guests danced around us with their significant partners, it seemed like we were the only ones in the world and it was perfect.Well, it would have been perfect, if we weren’t rudely interrupted merely minutes into the dance.“Hey! You!” The music screeched to a stop and the crowd around us began muttering and chattering amongst themselves.“Alex? What’s going on?” Martha asked softly beside me, her face screwed up in confusion.“I don’t know,” I replied honestly, looking around to see what was causing the commotion, or rather who was.The crowd in front of us shifted, revealing a
MarthaMatthew came back to the dining room alone, looking around. “Where’s Alpha Alex?” He asked.I shrugged and looked around as well. He left the room without telling me where he was going, so I didn’t know where he could possibly be in this big house.“I don’t know, he didn’t say,” I told him. “But I’m sure that he’ll be back soon,” “Okay. Can you tell him to come and meet me when he’s back. I’ll be in my study. It’s in the hallway to the right, on the third door,” He informed me, walking briskly.I nodded. After a while, I went to the living room and found Sara sitting on one of the couches dejectedly. I wondered why. I barely saw her at the coronation, so why was she in this mood?“Hey,” I greeted, sitting beside her on the cream colored couch.“Hey,” she responded without feeling. “What’s wrong? I didn’t even see you during the coronation and at the party. Did something happen?” I asked worriedly. It was odd seeing her this quiet.“More like, what didn’t happen,” she muttere
AlexI looked up at the slowly rising sun, enjoying the cool breeze fanning against my skin like a gentle caress. I looked at my army of women and men alike, who were all standing at attention, waiting for what I would do.“To your positions!” I yelled out, splitting the silence.Without any hesitation, they all walked forward, standing in front of the positioned targets right in front of them that they would need for practice.“These are your enemies! I want to see how you’ll attack when you see them! Use all your might and force! As soon as you bring your target down to the ground, proceed to the next obstacle,” I explained.Grunts and cries filled the air as they attacked the dummy target in front of them with all their might. As easy as it sounded, I made sure that it was nearly impossible for them to take it down.I had discussed with a few of the most skilled craftsmen to create the dummies, so that I’ll be able to test their endurance.All these rogues, or should I call them sol
MarthaA couple of days passed after the conversation I had with Alex. We came to the decision that after the whole thing settles down, we’ll be able to buy the bookshop and turn it into a public library.But for now, we wait. And waiting was draining the soul out of me.Being pregnant again, to the love of my life, was one of the greatest things to happen to me. Just knowing that I was carrying my mate’s child, brings tears to my eyes every time. I'd only been able to dream of this all my life, but now I’m living in my fantasy world. Still, I couldn’t help but be mildly irritated by the way people around me treated me, especially Alex. Everyone was tiptoeing around me, treating me as if I were delicate and could shatter easily.I get it, their intentions were kind, but sometimes it felt overwhelming. I was just pregnant, not fragile.“Have you thought about buying the baby clothes yet? Your pup will pop out sooner than you expect,” I laid back in bed as Sara sat in front of me on th
AlexAfter the news Kai came to drop, I made sure the training, as well as the defenses were high. There was barely any time for me or my men to rest, but it was needed. Lucian and Fenrir were threatening us, holding both Geri and Star hostage and using that to gain an advantage over us. I wasn’t going to take that lightly.“Argh! Gyah!” Grunts were heard from all angles on the training field. Instead of creating dummies to use as target practice, I made them all face each other, to improve their skills and abilities.It was quite stressful and frustrating at times since I had over four hundred men to supervise and train at the same time, but I managed in the best way I could.It also helped to have Savage and Kai helping as well, otherwise, I would have snapped and fucked them this up on several occasions.The training took a huge toll on both my body and mind. I was barely at home and the times when I was, I was worn out of my mind to give Martha my time.We found a way to make it
MarthaThe cool morning breeze attacked my skin like pins. I wanted nothing more than to go back home and curl into the king-sized bed, but this was it. Finally, the time for retaliation has come.Alex noticed my silence and intertwined his fingers with mine, squeezing my hand tightly. I managed a weak smile and stared down at the town in front of me.It was strange. The one place I thought to be my home, was the one keeping me restrained, was the one place where I couldn’t be who I wanted to be because I was afraid of the public view of me.Now that I’ve experienced a taste of freedom, a taste of peace and happiness, I’m ready to close that chapter of my life. Even if it means storming down and declaring war right at this moment.So, standing by the border of Red Moon Pack, with an army of over four hundred, I felt confident and more sure of myself than I’ve ever been in a while. I squeezed Alex’s hand back and stared deeply in his eyes.“I’m ready,” I simply told him and those two w
AlexI found Lucian in his study, sifting through files with a frown on his face, oblivious to the attacks outside the house, like I had expected him to.“I knew you would be here,” I sneered at him, slowly walking into the study, revealing myself. He looked so startled to see me, it was laughable. I could see a bunch of emotions flicker through his face, but he settled on the one that was most familiar. Hate.“You,” he glowered. “What are you doing here? How did you bypass my security?”I snorted, opening the door to show the piles of men laying down on the cemented floor, unconscious. “These men?”He gritted his teeth, but he didn’t say anything.“Now, I’m sure that you know why I’m here. Surrender your Pack now, or otherwise, I will take it from you the hard way,” I simply told him, paving up and down the office.“And if I don’t?”I grinned. Oh, it would be so much fun to smash his face in without any more distractions.There was silence for a while, before a roar brought my atten
