She had dreamt of meeting him, every day of her life she craved to meet her big brother, but she never knew meeting him would be a disaster. ''Mate !'' his wolf howled loudly in his head and just when he was about to make a move forward, his father placed his hands on the shoulders of the little girl and said, '' This is Mia, your half sister.'' those words from his father ceased his steps. •••••••••••••• ''I hate you, I hate you with everything in me.'' He yelled and took a step forward towards me, while I gulped and took a step backward. ''Your mother conspired with my Father and killed my mother.'' he yelled and yanked me to himself. '' I'll make sure you spend the rest of your life paying for their sins, and someday when you least expected I'm going to kill you.'' He declared those words as a promise, ignoring the whimpering of my wolf. •••••••••• ''Why do you hate me so much, I'm your mate for goddess's sake...'' I tried speaking, but he choked me by the neck and slammed my back to the wall. ''Never, you are not my mate, you are my half sister, my worst enemy and the person I hate the most in this world.'' He yelled with so much disgust. ••••••••••••• On the celebration of his eighteenth birthday, alpha Ricardo's life turned around. His father introduced him to a lady and announced she would be his new wife and to worsen it all, she came with a twelve-year-old girl who happened to be his father's child. The minute alpha Ricardo met her he realized she was his mate, but he kept it away from everyone because to him, it was disgusting to be mated to his own half sister. Just when he thought this was all he could get, he discovered his mother did not die a natural death, but was poisoned by his father and mistress. Just when Ricardo was trying to process everything, his father, and mistress got involved in a car accident and died on the spot, leaving him to care and look after Mia, his stepsister and mate whom he hates so much. He transferred the hatred and anger he had for his father's mistress to innocent Mia. He showed her nothing but pain and hatred, but little did he know that there were so many mysteries left for him to solve.
Alpha Ricardo's POV
I could hear cheering and loud claps from some members of the males' clan in my father's pack giving a round of applause to me as I stood before them in my wolf form. I just turned eighteen today, and this was my first time shifting into my wolf.
I lifted my head and held dad's gaze, only to see it filled with pride and joy as he took a step closer to me.
''Can you hear me, son?'' he asked telepathically.
''Yes...'' I wanted to speak, but it came out as a growl. All the males present laughed, including Dad.
''Calm down, son. You don't speak with your mouth while you are in your wolf form, but you use your mind instead.'' he said those words loudly, which got me more confused.
''If you want to speak to anyone through telepathy, all you have to do is just think of that person and say whatever you wanna say in your heart. If he or she is a werewolf, then he or she is sure to hear you.'' Dad explained through telepathy, while I slightly lowered my head, giving him the sign that I understood.
''Now speak to me,'' he said, while fixing his gaze on me.
''How is my wolf?'' I inquired through telepathy, and it worked. ''Good,'' Dad said out loud with a clap.
''He can speak through telepathy,'' he announced to the other men in the backyard, and I got cheers from them.
''Let's go meet the others, I bet they are eager to see your wolf.'' Dad said with a proud smile, and he gently caressed the fur on my body.
''Stop it, dad.'' I grumbled through telepathy and got a soft chuckle from him.
''Let's go,'' he said, and took the lead while I followed behind. With heavy feet, I followed Dad out of the backyard and walked toward the garden where the party was being held.
''Don't be nervous, you have an outstanding wolf.'' Dad assured me through telepath as we continued walking while the other men walked behind us.
Within a few steps, we got to the big garden in the mansion where the party was being held. ''Goddess.'' The first person who took sight of me exclaimed happily, while she lowered her head in respect. Such a reaction gave me confidence that my wolf was huge and healthy, because that had been my greatest fear.
As we made our way to the center of the garden, everyone I walked past lowered their heads with respect, having a big smile on their faces.
''It was a success!'' Dad yelled, and everyone howled excitedly.
''I stood beside my father and moved my gaze around with curiosity, only to see the faces of everyone filled with joy.
''My son, your next Alpha has gotten his wolf, not just an ordinary wolf but a mighty and gigantic one.'' He spoke with so much pride in his voice, which got me more curious because I really wanted to see what my wolf looked like.
As if he was reading my thoughts, he signaled for a big mirror to be brought to me. With panting breath, I stared at the mirror, and my jaw dropped at the sight of my wolf reflecting in the mirror. ''Is this me.'' I spoke to myself but got a response, ''It's us.'' A voice that sounded like mine responded. ''Who...'' I wanted to ask but stopped halfway. ''Are you, my wolf?'' I asked. ''Yes, Rick, I'm your wolf, and we are now one.'' He responded. I smiled to myself and fixed my gaze on the mirror, still staring at the gigantic black wolf reflecting in the mirror.
He had emerald green eyes, which spoke of power and dominance, and would easily scare anyone, including me, if he wasn't my wolf.
''Greet your people, son.'' Dad said those words aloud. Inhaling deeply, I took a step forward and moved my gaze around, meeting everyone's gaze.
"Owooooo!!" I howled loudly, and everyone lowered their heads in respect.
''Owooo.'' I howled again and lifted my gaze to the sky, staring at the half moon on the right-hand side of the sky.
Everyone howled excitedly while their heads were still lowered to the ground. I locked my gaze on my father and noticed a satisfied smile on his face before he spoke.
''As you all know the tradition, Ricardo is our new Alpha, but will be crowned on his twenty fifth birthday.'' Dad announced, and everyone nodded their heads in response.
Dad kept saying other things, but I didn't pay attention to it because I was trying to communicate with my wolf, asking him if our mate was nearby and what my special ability was, because male child born into the lineage of Alphas is born with special gifts and abilities.
''Let's go back to the garden, son, you need to change back to your human form.'' Dad's words took me out of my thoughts. I nodded my head to dad's words and followed him back to the backyard, where I first shifted into my wolf.
''Can you shift into your human form?'' Dad asked the moment we got to the backyard. ''I'll try, after all, I'm my father's son.'' I said and got a proud smile from Dad.
''Remember what I told you?'' he asked.
With those words from him, I sucked a deep breath and closed my eyes. Just like my father had instructed, I imagined myself nude and in my human form. At the thought of that, I felt my bones breaking down, which forced me to the ground as my feet became weak. My transformation began from my legs, up to my body, before my face.
''You took one minute, which is slow. You need more practice.'' Dad stated, and gave a hand to me, so I could get to my feet.
''What is the accurate time?'' I asked.
''No time is accurate, but as an Alpha you need to shift within some seconds.'' he explained, '' I'll work on it.'' I responded and took my clothes from Dad. I changed into a pair of black fitted jeans and a long white sleeved t-shirt. I arranged my hair with my fingers and stood before my dad.
''You are all grown up, and I believe your mother would be really proud of you.'' he said and gently tapped my shoulders.
''Very soon you will know your abilities and probably find your mate, but before that, I have a surprise for you. They are waiting in the living room.'' he announced with a big smile.
''They? My surprise is a living being?'' I asked, curiously.

I, Alpha Edward Parker, swear that I will keep you tied to me until I make you pay for what you did to my mate," he swore, gripping my chin in a bruising hold. "Not only will you wish for death, but you will beg for it, and it will be too far from you." I could feel the eyes of the whole pack on us. They probably came to experience a normal wedding, but that couldn't be further from the truth. I was being married off to a groom because he wanted revenge.

''You are not just a human, but you are weak and also fragile, so different from my type.'' He yelled and pressed her to the wall while his wolf howled against it, but he totally ignored him and glared straight into her eyes, which held fear and pain. '' I will never accept you as my mate, not because you are a human, but you are totally not my type, and I love someone else and will make her my mate.'' He yelled those words in a great rage which made her knees quivered with fear. •••••••••••••••••••••• Alpha Eric hated and rejected his mate the very day he set his eyes on her, and would do anything to get her out of his life, but everything changed when he met her in a BDSM club and had to disguise himself in a mask.

"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.

That was when I met her—the pretty girl in my class that every boy dreamt of asking out. I was well aware she was out of my league.

But as I was wrapping my gift, I saw her in the dressing room, making out with the captain of the basketball team. She then heartlessly made fun of my inadequacy and made a fool out of me.

Desperation washed over me, but there was nothing I could do but lie on the floor as they trampled on my feelings. But then, my father called me out of the blue, and my life turned upside down.
