Chicago Alpha

Clarissa's P.O.VSleep--- What is sleep? It was something I knew nothing of, at least not without pestilent dreams. However, there was something about dark chocolate that seemed to settle the pallet well. I could not deny that I was addicted.Rotating the square piece of chocolate in my hand, I gazed at it with a soft smile on my face. Intense Dark Chocolate- 72% cocoa. My mouth watered, reading the label, but my blue eyes gazed towards the café door, chiming as it opened, pulling me out of my satisfaction.The sounds of the wading crowds outside came trickling through the front door—It was coffee time, as my shirt so gladly described. There was never a time in my life that I could remember not liking the hot refreshing beverage. Growing up in the south, you learn to love things that would not be so common at a young age. If I remember correctly, I could almost picture the young brown-haired, blue-eyed girl taking her first sip of her grandmother's coffee.The memory was so good I cou

Alpha Antonio's P.O.V.~2 Hours before~ "Another," I ordered the bartender, who looked at me with wide eyes, shaking his head. He never questioned me. Every evening at this time, I stopped by the restaurant after work and got dinner and drinks. There was no one for me to rush home to. There was no place for me to be. I was the Alpha of Chicago's most prominent pack. Taking care of business was something I did on a regular basis. Most werewolf fans will tell you that werewolves live in mansions and do not work out in the ordinary world. They portray pictures of us just merely not existing with humans.It was all completely wrong.The world has always been full of otherworldly creatures. Werewolves, elves, vampires, and other weird figures.We don't hide like most would assume. We have just learned that it is not anyone's business, but ours. If we decided to share our existence with the world, we would, but it is not like we go out of our way. Humans were daft creatures an

Clarissa's P.O.V.The girls sitting with Brantley looked wide-eyed at Alyssa and me before narrowing their brows. "Get lost sluts before I rip your throat out," Alyssa said through gritted teeth and a pretty smile.It did not take a moment for the girls to get the message and quickly remove themselves from the booth. I found myself in complete shock. Turning to Alyssa, she smiled, shrugging her shoulders. I knew Alyssa could be aggressive, but this was entirely out of character when it came to the woman I knew.Brantley looked towards me and smiled. "So, Toni… I see you brought over new friends. Alyssa... Clarissa. It's so nice to see you again, Clarissa." The twinkling glint in his eyes sent shivers down my spine as I cast my gaze away. A low rumble drew my attention to Toni, who was staring dangerously at Brantley. The man was utterly oblivious to the daggers being thrown at him. Alyssa slid into the spot next to Brantley, which left the empty spot next to Toni for me. A bottle of J

Clarissa's P.O.V.I could not believe it. There, below my balcony, standing in the rain, was Antonio. Stalker much. My poor battered heart was once again beating erratically. I was sure by this point I could drop from a heart attack by all the erratic beating my heart was causing.How in the world did he find me? The thought raced through my mind repeatedly. *Ping* Looking towards my phone, I narrowed my brows, curious as to who was texting so late. My breath caught in my throat as I saw it was from Alyssa. 'sorry. love you xoxo.' "No way. Traitorous bitch!" The anger radiated from me before slowly diminishing.I could not stay angry at Alyssa, no matter how hard I tried. I could not believe that she would give some random man my home address. A man that had committed murder and now was standing outside of my apartment building.Quickly, I picked up the phone to call the police, but a luscious voice stopped me in my tracks."Don't do that." His voice lulled me into bliss as I turned

Antonio's P.O.V.The sun rose slowly over the tops of the trees, and I could not stop admiring how the sun filtered through the open balcony windows, casting shadows across the room. I had not slept a wink and knew that within a few hours, she would be here.Thoughts from last night flooded my mind, and I was irritated that a woman I barely knew had captivated me so much. I was a well-put-together man, and she had completely blown my mind away. Every detail about her was perfect, from her cascading reddish-brown locks to her crystal clear sapphire eyes. The cupid's bow to her lip, and every smooth curve to her body had me wanting more. It was hard thinking about everything I wanted to do to her, how I wanted to hear her screaming my name. Have her begging for the mark I would place on her smooth and gorgeous neck. The mate bond. Why did I have to be subjected to such a cruel curse and a heavenly blessing from the goddess? My mother had always spoken of the mate bond when I was you
