The answer stunned me. My wolf? Did I hit eighteen? Could I shift now? I sat down on the porch and let what I had just learned sink in. I had a wolf and her name was Riona.
“Are you afraid of me?” Her sweet voice was reluctant.
“No,” l answered truthfully.
“I didn’t mean to scare you,” she said. Just when I was about to reply, I saw Xander’s Jeep. I immediately stood up and jogged towards him.
“It’s my wolf. I can’t believe I’m saying that, but she told me she’s my wolf. Xander, she’s so sweet and she has this nice voice and I think I scared her without meaning to. Is my reaction normal? Did I unintentionally hurt her? Is there anything I should do to make it up to her?” I rambled. I was worried that I might have hurt her feelings. I didn’t mean to do that, but I was anxious and scared.
“Calm down, love. Your reaction is normal. You just said that she’s sweet. Apologize to her and ask her what she likes. I think you can easil

“How does having a wolf feel like?” Rowena asked me as the two of us got in her car. When I told her three weeks ago about finally meeting my wolf, she was ecstatic. She came over along with Dinah almost immediately and we celebrated for the night. Riona loved the two of them, but she told me that she couldn’t sense their wolves like how she sensed Xander’s almost immediately. “I love this! I actually love Riona so much. She’s so fun and a bit sassy,” I replied, connecting my phone with her car’s Bluetooth to put on some music. "Damn right I am!" My sassy friend commented and I did my best to stiffen a laugh that threatened to escape me. Sometimes, I found it hard to control myself when it came to replying to Riona out loud, but Xander assured me that I was going to learn how to do it over time. I didn't want people to consider me crazy. “I love my wolf, too,” Rowena told me. “She’s my very close friend.” “I can happily say that I understand
The Alpha's Halo Thirty-two
Rowena and I decided not to tell anybody anything until after Dinah’s birthday party. She told me that my being a member of Crimson would not change a thing in our friendship, but I knew that it would change everything in my relationship with Xander. The relationship that was deemed to end soon. Too soon for my liking. Loana promised not to tell my pack that she ran into me until I decided what I wanted, but truth was, I didn’t know what I wanted. Dinah’s party came to an end sooner than I expected. Or maybe that was what I thought because I didn’t want it to end. I did my best to be happy, even if my soul was aching. I was going to tell Xander about my identity after the party, which meant that I was supposed to do that now. Rowena offered to stay with me while I told Xander the truth, but I refused. I had to do that alone. I had to listen to what he had to say alone. There were so many things in my life I was destined to endure alone and this was one of them. Endin
The Alpha's Halo Thirty-three: Xander
This happened too soon. I knew this day would come sooner or later, but it came so fast. She hadn’t been herself for the past two days and I thought that this was because she was close to shifting, but I was wrong. I should have expected the worst. I should have put into consideration that the nightmare I had been running away from had finally become a reality. The way she kissed me and asked me to hold her was weird. I didn’t understand why she was acting like that, because she had never done that before. Things cleared in my mind when she uttered what I wished to never hear. She knew things were going to end between us; she was kissing me goodbye. I didn’t want to be as cold towards her as I appeared to be, but the shock I was in was stronger than I could ever be. Realization hit me that things with Ayla were going to change forever. After what she told me, nothing was ever going to be the same. I wanted to talk with her, to discuss the whole thing with her
The Alpha's Halo Thirty-four
I woke up the next morning and as I expected, I was alone in my bed. I went to the bathroom and did my morning routine then I made my way to the door. When I tried to turn on the doorknob, the door wouldn’t open. Was I locked inside? I searched for my phone everywhere to call Xander or Rowena, but I couldn’t find it anywhere. I looked at the digital clock beside my bed and saw that it was nine in the morning. Frustratingly, I sat down on the bed and waited for anyone to open the door for me. So many things were about to change and it seemed that the changes had already begun to take place. What was going to happen to me? Were they going to execute me? But I didn’t commit any crime that would demand my execution. “Riona, are you alright?” I whispered, desiring to check on my forever best friend. The only one who wasn’t going to
The Alpha's Halo Thirty-five
A week passed and nothing had changed. I didn’t bother to ask about any updates regarding my situation, because I didn’t give a damn. As long as I was here, I didn’t mind. I was safer here and my safety was my number one concern. I had been thinking about that for a while and I decided to run away once I would turn eighteen. I didn’t belong to Crimson and I didn’t belong to Silver Moon. I wanted to call Silver Moon my home more than I could put into words, but their Alpha rejected me and I wasn’t going to beg for a place among them anymore. It’s crazy how heartbreak could change a human being. I didn’t expect his reaction to be this harsh, but the way he reacted taught me a lesson I could never forget. It taught me that sometimes it’s important to step on our hearts for the sake of the bigger picture. So I stepped on mine too and every time my eyes met his, I hoped that he could see that he meant nothing to me even if deep down, he meant everything. Rowena visi
The Alpha's Halo Thirty-six: Xander
“I believe it's clear to everyone that Ayla is fine. There's no need to worry about her well-being,” I said after she walked away. I wanted them to leave as soon as possible. Ayla wasn't okay. Something was wrong and I had to check on her. Mirk was raging. He kept urging me to go upstairs, but I couldn't leave my guests. Luckily they left after they made sure she wasn't mistreated in my pack. Her father kept sending me death glares, throwing silent threats at me, but I didn't give a damn about him. I wanted to kill him, to rip him into pieces, but I couldn't because he was in my lands. This filthy bastard laid his hands on her. “I'm going upstairs to check on Ayla. She's not okay,” I told Jorah and rushed upstairs. I knocked on her door, but she didn't allow me inside. I waited for a minute, not wanting to invade her privacy, but when I heard nothing from her I turned the doorknob. She was nowhere in sight, but when I looked at the balcony, I found her on the ground,
The Alpha's Halo Thirty-seven
My birthday was today, on a full moon. I was going to shift for the first time on my birthday and there was a chance that I might find my mate today. There were so many things that were about to happen and I wasn't sure if I was ready to face any of them. Seventeen days had passed over meeting my father and I saw Xander during those days only a handful of times. Our relationship was strained, complicated, and most probably marred forever. He had ruined everything and nothing he would do could make me forget what he was doing to me. A knock interrupted my train of thoughts, causing me to sit up properly on the bed since I was lying down. My eyes lit up upon seeing Rowena and Dinah walking inside my room with a huge birthday cake and gifts, singing Happy Birthday to me. I didn't think any of them would remember. The gesture warmed my heart and once they set the cake down, I tackled them into a tight hug. Not once had they made me feel like I was an outsider, al
The Alpha's Halo Thirty-eight: Xander
A white wolf stood before me. In my twenty-four years, I had never seen a white wolf before. They were so rare and they were known to be a symbol of purity. It was hard to stop Mirk from moving towards the female wolf. He had been searching for hours, tracking the scent that drove us crazy. Since I woke up, I hadn't been okay. My senses were stronger than usual. I didn't know what was happening. I thought this was because of the full moon, but I was wrong. My senses were intensified because my mate was nearby, calling for me to search for her and find her. I waited for years, thinking that I had no mate, that I was unworthy of having a mate, but here I was, in front of my gorgeous mate. My mate. I had been waiting for so long to meet her and the Moon Goddess blessed me with a mate that made my limbs go weak.For a second, my mind wondered about her identity, but the moment my eyes met hers, I knew who she was. Fate was playing me. Torturing me. I could easily identify
