Love, Alpha
He watched her in the distance, his mind clouded over in confusion. How could he, one of the coldest Alphas in the country, have a mate?The thought of having to take care of someone for the rest of his life haunted him. He always thought he was meant to run the most powerful pack that had no weaknesses; once his wolf becomes attached to hers, nothing can tear them apart. It is known to be the cause of the deaths of many great Alphas, and yet here he stood, unable to tear his eyes away from her.Her soft, shimmering lips stood out to him from across the clearing, occasionally being grazed by her soft, silky golden hair. Her delicate fingers brushed a strand from over her crystal blue eyes as they continued to gaze over the leather-covered book resting in the center of her lap.A soft breeze flowed over her bare shoulders, sending her scent right in his direction. A shiver traveled up his spine as his eyes rolled back into his head. A low growl erupted from his chest, wondering why she was all alone in an empty clearing. She seemed like a prize he had yet to win.

Chapter: Chapter 22Monday came a lot sooner than Celus had hoped. This pack has been his home his entire life, and guilt filled him. He didn't want them to think he was ditching them.Salen was very helpful for everyone as they prepared to say goodbye. She made sure everything was in order before they left, even setting up ways for Safiya to contact Brady and come visit while they are gone. Safiya has been bawling her eyes out, but she was supportive of her mate. She knew this was a big opportunity for him, and she wasn't going to be the one to stand in the way of that."Are you okay?" Brady asked, emerging from his room with a bright blue suitcase in his hand. He smiled wide, but an empty feeling was already starting to form in his stomach at the thought of being separated from his mate for so long."I'm fine. I'm just thinking." Celus grumbled, taking one last look around the pack house with dread."It's going to be okay. Your pack will be fine." He patted him on the shou

Chapter: Chapter 21Celus gripped his phone in his hand, building up the nerve to call his uncle. He felt foolish denying him a few days ago only to call him up and asking to come later.Salen sat supportive across from him in one of his office chairs. Celus set the phone down on his desk with a sigh before picking it up again and holding it to his ear. He dialed his uncle's number before he lost the nerve and listened to it ring."Hello?" His uncle's deep voice echoed from the other end. Celus straightened up in his seat and cleared his throat."This is Alpha Celus." He winced at his formality. There was a silence on the line, the only sound passing through was rustling from movement. The sound of a door clicking made his ear perk."Sorry. I had to go somewhere private. So, what can I do for you?" He asked, his voice becoming lighter.With a sigh and an unsure look to his mate, Celus spoke, "I'll do it."This caught his uncle's attention. "That's great!" He ch

Chapter: Chapter 20Celus locked himself in his office again as soon as they got home. Brady just gave Salen a shrug, taking Safiya's hand in his and leading her to their room."I'm sorry. Try and talk to him." He called over his shoulder, leaving her bummed and alone. With a deep breath she ascended the stairs and tucked her shaking hands into her pockets.The office door was cracked so it made it easy for Salen to peak in. The once well put together room was now destroyed. His desk was flipped over, paper and books scattered all over the floor. The curtains were ripped from the wall and paintings were shredded.In the middle of the chaos, Celus sat with his head in his hands on the floor. He gripped his hair while streaming curse words. Reaching down in anger, he grabbed the closest book to him and whipped it at the wall leaving a dent.Salen jumped at the loud crash catching his attention. His head snapped to the door, catching a glimpse of her light blonde hair."

Chapter: Chapter 19Salen enjoyed shopping with Safiya and Brady. Her mate's Beta had a really good taste in clothes which came as a surprise to all of them. They were now using him to judge the outfits they were trying on to decide what to buy.Celus insisted Salen spended as much money as she wanted. He wanted her to get whatever she wanted to make her feel more comfortable in her new home.Safiya emerged from behind the curtain of the changing room wearing a bright pink tanktop and white mini skirt. Celus didn't enjoy this part. He sat lazily on the couch they provided, waiting patiently for Salen. She had only come out in one outfit so far that Safiya picked out, earning an immediateno from both of the guys. It was a very short black dress paired with a jean jacket and nude stockings."What do you think?" Safiya asked, twirling around in her short skirt as she tried to finish tucking in her tanktop."Safiya, honey," Brady sat up with his elbows resting on

Chapter: Chapter 18The human territory was buzzing with frantic shoppers as they pulled up in front ofCalmer Crest, a diner in the center of town."Why is everything so busy?" Safiya asked, gripping tightly to Brady's arm. He pulled away from her hold and instead draped his arm over her shoulders for protection."I don't know." He looked back and waited for Celus and Salen to get out of the car. "Maybe there's some sort of holiday we don't know about."Celus reached down and grabbed Salen's hand, helping her out the car before slamming the door shut behind her. She stood up on her toes and planted a kiss to his cheek making him smile, shaking his head trying to play off his blush.The diner was nowhere near as hectic as the rest of the town, but it was still full of families enjoying meals together and friends gossiping away over milkshakes and their burgers. The sixties themed decor inside made it feel cozy with brightly colored booths and matching tables. A

Chapter: Chapter 17The aura of the pack land calmed down immensely over the next few days. No one had to feel like they had to look over their shoulders every second.No one but Celus.The thought of his uncle still loomed over him, making his nerves feel overwhelmed.Salen quickly became comfortable in her new home with her mate. However, it wasn't what she expected.Celus had been locked in his office almost twenty four hours of the day after his surprise visit. She brought him food whenever she thought he would be hungry, but he was too zoned in on paperwork and cleaning up the mess that happened earlier that week to notice or take it.Salen ascended the stairs with a sandwich in one hand and a glass of water in the other. She was determined to get him to stop working, no matter what she had to do.She knocked on his office door and waited for his gruff come inbefore pushing it open just enough for her to slide through."Hey." She smiled

Chapter: Chapter 5Darrilans was very impressive, especially up close. The pictures online didn’t do the grand entrance and glass building justice. It was taller than her father’s by about ten stories, and it flowed with finely dressed people who rushed through the doors to go to and from work.Riley felt like she was in a movie. The men and women in suits and dress clothes talking on their phones as they ducked past her to get inside made the feeling of being in Indianapolis weigh down on her chest.“You ready?” Alex asked, tilting his head towards the entrance. Riley gulped, letting Ma

Chapter: Chapter 4Riley was awoken early by a stumbling Marilynn. Her brother had her arm over his shoulder as he struggled to get her into her bed.“That was-hiccup-so much fun.” She reached up and patted Alex’s cheek earning a scowl.“Yeah, yeah I know. It would have been more fun if you learned to control your alcohol.” He fought against her arms as he tried to drape her covers over her.When he looked up, he jumped and placed

Chapter: Chapter 3Nighttime came a lot faster than either of them had expected. Marilynn ended up talking to Ryan for over two hours, making it hard for Riley to fall asleep. Instead, she pulled out her own phone and scrolled through the recent messages from her mother. About once a day she sends her encouraging messages and lets her know everything she’s missing.Have you failed yet? -SC

Chapter: Chapter 2The diner was surprisingly busy when Riley threw open the hollow door. Her new friend and coworker Marilynn Hansen was busy serving tables and ringing in to-go orders. Her body visibly relaxed when she spotted Riley tie on her short black apron and clock into her shift.“Thank god you are here. I have no idea where they all came from.” Many new faces were busy chattering away at their tables when she took over for Marilynn on the cash register. “I think there may be an end-of-season craft show in Lexington. I don’t understand why they don’t just eat in Lexington.” She rushed over to a group of older women who just sat down at a table in the far corner. She gave them a warm smile and began

Chapter: Chapter 1The brisk fall breeze ruminating through Riley’s hair sent a chill down her spine. The weather was just beginning to change from the homely Summer heat to the bone chilling Michigan winter, and Riley was bound and determined to savor every last second of the long warm nights before snow blankets the ground and freezes nearby Lake Huron.All her life Riley was raised in downtown Indianapolis; home of the award winning Indy 500 and her father’s insurance company that occupies a 30 floor skyscraper downtown. Of course, being the daughter of Christopher Chaze meant overflow of popularity in the media. This included anything embarrassing she has ever done from grade school up until the moment she fled to find a quiet
