His hold brought back the butterflies in mi y stomach, and the weird tingles that anly his touch

could awaken. There was n o denying it — he really was my mate

This was surprising, especially to someone like me! Getting mated to an Alpha — lucky! Getting

maled to two Alphas — the Goddess must be planning something for me. This mate thingSUTC

changed the direction of my life completely

There were two things I was certain of for HOW — I wanted to leave the White Lake pack and my

he did what he did house from what he'd showtime so far, he didn’t undke the kind of person who

would kill without mason. This didn't male him any less dangerous. He could easily kill me, and no

one could stand up to hun.

He suddenly stopped in his tracks, and only then did I realize that we have reached it — my home. It

wasn't much, just a humble bungalow. The blue and white paint was chipping off the exterior walls,

and dried leaves piled up on the lawn

“Well, this is it,” I said, stopping right beside him, “Home sweet home.”

Onn, bent he won't there. The light

Inarrowed my eyes at him.

“I knew, Lella We Walling for you yesterday, but you never Canne. "

Freeing my hand from Alpha Liam's fr.asp.l walked towards the door. I didn’t Want to answer

Carson. He had been Alphia Flytn's Beta ever since he took Wer his father as Alpha, and didn't want

to run their relationship.

Carson would never forgive Flynn if he lanwrw about last night. It was best he didn’t know. The

three of us wouldn't go back to what we used to be, but at least Carson was still my best friend, and

they were on good terms with each other.

Carson would be loyal to Flynn; he was a true friend to both of us.

A creaking sound, as the door opened slowly. Surprisingly, it didn't smell of stale air and dust.

said. To the left was the kitchen and straight ahead, on hoth sides were the bedrooms = mine was

on the left and his was on the night

Far as long as I could remember, it was just the two of us. Our daily routine was that he would be in

his office to assist the Alpha or he'd be training the warriors while I was on training with Carson and

Flynn Sometimes, he would train the three of us, and if he had more time, he would give me private

lessons. Even the Alpha gave Flynn private lessons. Same with Carson and his father, the previous 3

"You kept it clean?” I asked, tad

“Impeccably clean,” Carson said, chuckling. Thought you'd like it like

Turning to face him, a small smile on my face as I said, “Thank you, Carson. It means a lot to me.”

“Sure. I didn't clean the bedrooms so don't come crying to me if you find skeletons,” he said, smiling

Goddess, please let him find his mate already, this is seriously bad for my heart.

“Why would she go to you?” Alpha Liam retorted, glaring at him. So cute.

“Because he's my best friend,” I answered. I knew I was testing huis patience here, but it was really

my room was stuck with one coler — pink of different shades.

He pushed me inside the room lightly to make way for himself. I rolled my eyes at. him, Who invited

He looked through the stick figures that were pinned to a wall — a drawing of my pients and me, my

father and me, of his wolf, my friends and I, and many more. They were from my childhood,

Before I could reply, he was already gone.

It's unfair how they could move so fast!

“Nice drawings, Alpha Liam commented.

He's happy Carson's gone.

While he was looking at the uninteresting drawings, I made my way to the bed. Putting a hand

under the pillow, I felt for the object I sought to retrieve. Something hard grazed my palm.

Clutching it, I quickly pulled it from under and stuffed it in a pocket, just in time for him to turn to

"We have nothing to talk about,” I said, and let my body relax, causing him to lean back a little to

If you won't let me go, carry me then.

“You're a handful, aren't you?

Igrinned. “Yes, I am. I will tire you all day and night, so just let me go.”

Goddess, he makes me want to smile

Nope, hold the glare, Anna. You have the upper hand here.

“Will you stop glaring at me and have a seat?” he said, patting the space beside him.

Crossing my arms, I raised a brow at him and said, “No.”

"No?" he asked, leaning back into the couch as he mimicked my pose.

“No,” I said firmly.

Then he pulled my arm causing me to fail into him. Which should've happened, but since they just
