Highest in Werewolf: #2 "Selene, my daughter, please hear us out. I know we don't deserve it, but your sister is pregnant and-" I held up my hand to stop the man named Benicio Dixon from speaking. Surely they didn't call me here just so they can dump all their personal problems onto me or dig up the past. If that was the case, they're quite foolish. I'm not interested in the slightest. Shifting my attention from my father to the woman he stood behind, my gaze narrowed on the small but visible bump under her sundress. Hestia Anne Dixon. My younger sister. The Luna of my old pack and the woman my mate chose over me. She was pregnant. I turned to the male sitting beside her in the Alpha's seat. Guilt and regret crossing his striking features when he refused to meet me in the eye. "If the reason you called me here is because of this nonsense" I gestured between my sister and mate, "Then it would appear I wasted my time. With all due respect, Beta Dixon, I am an Alpha. I have many and much more important things to do than discuss petty mate bonds. If It wasn't obvious enough, I'll make myself clear-" I stood up, not caring for the gazes burning into my skin. "Whether or not she has this pup has nothing to do with me. Luna Walker's mate has nothing to do with me. In fact, none of you have anything to do with me outside of pack business. If you're worried about my interference-- don't. I won't say nor do anything. To put it simply, I don't want him. I didn't want him for the past four years since he rejected me and you all left me to die. Rest assured that seeing him again won't change anything. Now if you'll excuse me, I have things to attend to." I held my head high, walking off with my Beta trailing behind me. Just as I reached the door, it abruptly pulled open and I came face to face with the most beautiful man I've ever seen in my life. Dark, crystal grey eyes bore into me and I found myself go still. Alpha Raizel Locksworth. The Bloodlust Alpha.

The Wulvers Series Book 6 #79 in magic #198 in paranormal "The path I choose will decide my fate; to follow tradition, or to break it." ~ Raeghan Ava Lyall As the female first born of an Alpha Pair like my mother before me, I knew it would be easy to settle for the same fate as her; to have my life choices come down to mating and becoming an Alpha Female, or never rising above the rank of Beta. I choose neither. Every day, I live to prove I should be heir and one day take my father's place as Alpha of the Western Pack in Scotland. Such ambitions challenge an age old tradition that make enemies of Wulvers who cling to their ancient ways. And most do, which means few dare to stand at my side. The lonely fight is tiring, and after so many years I'm left with an unsettling question: if the council and my father continue to refuse my claim, what do I have left? My cousin Fenna might provide a much needed chance at finding a sense of equilibrium within myself again. Her mate's pack live in deep the Scandinavian wilderness and their Alpha Pair promise they can mould me into a worthy heir for my pack. But going there means being near Ebbe, a male who grew up in fur more than skin and sees things so differently from me. A male who tempts me to break a rule I made. And if I do, it could destroy everything I've worked for.
