Here's for today. Thank you for waiting and for all the gems! Please keep them coming! P.S. **Someone requested for a list of Alphas/family and I will try to put up one before the book ends. ***Next book after this is Nadine, followed by Zach, then by Kairo. The series will end with Cyrus. ****Nadine is Nadia's half sister (she appeared in the Beta and I) *****Alpha Nicolo made an appearance in STLIWant (second cousin to Jace/Catherine/Austin/Davina)
AUSTIN. I went to the border with the goal of letting Alpha Nicolo know Jace was not around and sending him on his way so I could enjoy dinner with my mate. But by a twist of fate, it seemed dinner had to be delayed. A part of me wanted to prolong the conversation as I honestly felt Nicolo was a good person, and Noelle reminded me of Catherine ā timid, but when she started talking, it was hard to make her stop. But just when I thought I had no more reason to hold them here, something unexpected happened. It seemed to me that Noelle scented her mate. What were the odds that it was one of my men coming out of the office or one of those inside the cars? The color in Noelleās face drained as she stepped backward until Nicoloās chosen mate held her arms, making her halt in place. And if I thought that was it, I was wrong. Nicolo was growling lowly, his hands balled into tight fists, and his chest was heaving. His eyes dilated and they were fixated on the car that had just arrived.
FUTURE GAMMA GISELLE. When they invited me to eat dinner outside of the Black Shadow Pack territory, I initially declined. I was not up for it, and I wanted to go to my room early so I could call Ledger. But Cindy, one of the female warriors, came and insisted I join them.I told Ledger about it. He told me to go, but to make sure to be careful and to call him once I was back. He was also dining out with his family because it was Jillianās birthday, his younger sister, and she requested to eat out at her favorite restaurant. So, even if I was not up for it, I went along. I met Kenneth in the lounge area and asked if he was joining. He said no, as he didnāt want to be anywhere. I already knew why. He didnāt want to meet any females until he could talk to Noelle, his girlfriend. Kenneth had been avoiding going anywhere because of her, terrified of meeting his mate, and he was still hoping they would end up together even if he knew claiming Noelle meant bumping and crashing into a big
FUTURE GAMMA GISELLE. āGiselleā¦ā Sabrinaās voice was broken. I swiftly turned back around, and my heart broke at the sight in front of me. āWhat are you doing? Stand upā¦ā My tears fell as I looked at her on her knees, holding her stomach as her shoulders shook from her cries. She raised her palms, motioning for me to stop approaching her before she spoke again. āI never begged for anything in my whole life. Everything was given to me on a silver platter. But I will beg you: please let him go. I donāt know what will become of me if I lose him. I can promise you that I will take care of him. I will love him with all of my beingā¦ā āSabrina, please stand up.ā I approached her, holding her elbow, but she wasnāt budging. Instead, she grabbed my arms and looked me in the eyes. āIām sorry. I want him, but I know how he values his honor, and I donāt think he will reject you. Iām not a bad person, Giselle. I will be forever indebted to youā¦ā Her words were cut short when we heard a kn
FUTURE GAMMA GISELLE. I had no idea how long I ran or the route I took, but I just found myself by a stream. I went for a swim and found myself screaming at the top of my lungs. Dad had taught me about yelling it out when everything was too much. In times like this, I miss them. I wished I was home so that Mom could give me a warm chocolate drink and a hug. Unlike Sabrina, nothing was given to me easily. My family might be the Gamma of the pack, but I was never spoiled. I was never one of the females you would envy as you grew up. I worked hard for everything I had, and I was still working hard for what I wanted. Some things I was able to accomplish. The others I was not, because they were impossible. All my life, people around me have talked about the mate bond and how special it was. But I knew I was just a Gamma and would never be on par with any Alpha Female. So I loved Alpha Ledger secretly, knowing he would never be mated to someone like me. So when I turned eighteen,
YOUNG ALPHA LEDGER. āAre you sure you want to do this now?ā I stared at the female before me. I knew this was for the best, but I wanted her to have the last say. She nodded her head, and when I met her chosen mateās eyes, I knew it was now or never. And so I did it. I rejected the female standing in front of me. I defied the Goddess. But who would not? I spent my whole life attracted to one female, and the thought of leaving her for a stranger seemed wrong. Plus, the fact that the fated mate she gave me already belonged to someone and was carrying his pup only solidified my decision to sever this bond. I would never break a family, nor would I break Giselleās heart. āI, Young Alpha Ledger Black, reject you, Lady Sabrina Conelly of the Night Howlers Pack, as my fated mate, as the future Luna of Midnight Packā¦ā I cleared my throat and blinked back the tears as the memory floated in my head like it was just yesterday, but the rejection happened two weeks ago. I saw Sabrina in
GISELLE. My body jolted awake as my heart thudded loudly. Another nightmare. And this was worse than before. My hand clamped over my mouth as I tried to stifle my sobs, but they still came anyway. Tears trickled down my cheeks, and my lips trembled as I cried. I thought I had run out of tears, but they came in full force as the thought of Ledger leaving me for his fated mate kept coming into my head. He had no responsibility to claim me just because I decided to reject my fated mate. But it was hard to accept that I would lose him. I shoved my blanket off and grabbed the clothes I came in with. I didnāt even check how I looked in the mirror before heading out of the bedroom. I was sure my nose was still red and my eyes were puffy, but I didnāt care. My face had been swollen the whole night. I did my best to walk quietly along the corridor, and it helped that I was barefooted because I didnāt have any shoes with me. I reached the main hall of the barracks and quietly unlocked
YOUNG ALPHA LEDGER. I came here with the goal of making sure Giselle saw me and would consider choosing me over her own fated mate. But things turned out for the better. Finding out she had rejected him was already a step forward to the possibility of claiming her as my Luna. But smelling her and finding out the Goddess gave her to me as my second chance was a gift I never expected ā a gift I would be forever grateful for, a gift I would treasure and take care of for the rest of my life. I wasnāt lying when I said I was terrified to meet my second chance, although I couldnāt get my eyes off the female who ran from the side of my car toward the front. I was dumbfounded when Giselleās form took shape despite the baggy clothes she was in. She shrunk in those clothes, and her face was too red from crying too much, but she was still the most beautiful female I had set my eyes on. I would have stayed inside the car to marvel at her beauty and let my emotions overwhelm me if I hadnāt se
YOUNG ALPHA LEDGER. āYes...ā Giselle replied before her eyes rolled back again and her hips stopped bucking against mine. She tilted her head up, giving me access to her soft spot. Without any warning, I dipped my mouth into her neck, piercing my fangs into her skin without stopping my cock from assaulting her tight pussy. Her moans turned sultry as her body stiffened. Her core clenched, tightening around my cock, and the moment I knew she had her orgasm, I pulled out and let go of my own release, spewing my cum on her thighs and the bedsheets. Her hands on my shoulders moved to the back of my head, softly caressing my hair as I continued to suck on her skin, tasting her blood. āI love you, Ledgerā¦ā She mumbled before she sniffed. She was sobbing. āI have loved you all my life, and itās pathetic that I was holding on to the Gamma title because I didnāt want you out of my sight.ā I slowly pulled my fangs away from her skin and moved my body up, still hovering above her.
