*CAHIR*…You treat me like shit!Those words resonated in my head as I drove to my office at midnight.What the fuck did she mean by I was treating her like shit!? Considering I never wanted a mate, I felt I was doing good enough with one. I never wanted a mate but I did not want any woman in my life to feel as if they were being mistreated.“Trouble in paradise?” Aristo walked into my office behind me.“Don’t bother me, I have to work.” I fell into my seat and powered on my computer while my Beta snickered from opposite me.“Why are you working when you can be balls deep in your Luna?”“Aristo.” I raised my head from my computer screen.Every day, he spoke about my woman and sex in such a casual way, that it irked my wolf. My Beta may be a man ruled by his dick ninety percent of the time, but he was smart enough the other ten percent of the time to know better than to continue discussing my mate as if she was a common woman and not his Luna.“Hey, don’t eat me. I am only –“ He laughe

The look in Cahir’s eyes had Aristo jumping away while I swallowed a thick lump as goosebumps rose on my skin.“Now – Now that I think about it, I have – I have work to do. See you later!” Aristo broke into a jog as he escaped the fire blazing around his Alpha.“Good – Good morning,” I swallowed, feeling sweat break out on my forehead from the heat of the anger in his eyes.I felt the waves of his anger crash into me and I knew I had to dispel the rage building around him but after what happened the other night, I didn’t know how to face him.“How – How are you?” He didn’t look very good.Despite the anger around him, his expression remained impassive but the dark circles around his eyes worried my wolf. He looked like he had not slept a wink the previous night. I noticed then that he was still wearing the clothes from yesterday.“Did you sleep in the office?” I asked in alarm when he still did not say anything to me, choosing to stare at me with the anger rolling off him.“What were

"Luna, your friend from your old pack has come to visit you!" Maribeth grinned from ear to ear as she led my worst enemy towards me."Sihana –" Felicity pressed her thumbs together as she came closer.Laura's eyes bore into me. They must hear my heart beat faster as I looked at the girl who had caused me so much pain. The people from Silver Moon kept showing up in my new pack. First Kade, then Avalon, and now Felicity. Why wouldn't these people leave me alone!?"What are you doing here?" I didn't know why but I wasn't comfortable sitting with her standing in front of me so I pushed out of my seat."I arrived two days ago." She smiled at me. The smile was unlike any of the other smiles she had given me in the past. This one didn't look nasty. She looked unsure – weary – as she looked from Laura to Beth."What do you want?" Her presence here didn't make sense and it made me nervous."I am – I want to become a member of Alpha Blood pack." I felt a chill dance down my spine at the words t

*CAHIR*There was every possibility that Aristo was right and that my mate did not see what I was doing. I should tell her but there was no reason to burden her with things outside of her control. As her Alpha, it was my duty to deal with every threat to her life instead of worrying her unnecessarily.“Did you find out the things I asked?” I entered Aristo’s office to see him canoodling with the new girl from Silver Moon pack – Felicia was it?“Do you never knock?” Aristo exclaimed as the girl jumped from his lap to straighten her skirt. Her skin flushed but she held up her chin and gave me a snide look.“Alpha,” she barred her neck.“I am not your Alpha,” I asked Aristo to keep close eyes on this girl so I didn’t expect him to still frolic with her but I should have known my Beta was too much of a man whore to stay away from a woman who gave him an obvious green light.“Yes, Alpha.” The girl insisted and barred her neck again before leaving the office.“If you’d just waited ten minut

I felt suffocated, there was no other way to explain it. Cahir had made me into someone who did not come out of the house – ever. The only time I stepped out of the Alpha Castle was to visit him in the pack house and that happened only once. There was no reason for that. In fact, he called me in for a minute and then sent me away. It felt as if he wanted me to know that my life was in his hand and he could order me around as he liked. That day, Sebastian came with me and he didn't hide the fact that he was displeased to be guarding me rather than his Alpha."Good morning," Laura said to me as she took the seat opposite me. She had made it a habit to visit me as many times in a day as she could – which was always once or twice as she was busy. She had relevance in this pack while my mate made it clear my only purpose was to do as he said and warm his bed at night!"I feel trapped, " I answered Laura's greeting with a declaration.All my life, I had never been one to sit still and do no
