The Alpha's First Mate Chapter 1 Some where deep in the forest

Ever since I have known myself, I have always been here somewhere deep within the forest just me and my mamma. I have never met anyone other than her nor have I ever exited the forest. At the age of 16, I have always been curious as to why we never leave the forest and so one day I asked my mamma.

"It's safer here," she would always say, not giving me any valid reason as to why; until my interest in asking her again eventually fades away.

"Nala," I heard my mamma called me softly from outside.

"I'm coming ma...," I answered as I exit the small house, we had called our home for years.

The house we lived in was made from pieces of board and the roof was made from rusty old zinc that would sometimes leak whenever it rains. Our home only consists of one room and a large straw bed my mother and I shared.

"Please pick two large leaves from the Catalpa tree and carry it to me so I can start sharing supper," My mamma instructed me as she turned the roast fish, she had caught for us at a nearby river with a piece of a sharp stick.

Quickly I did as I was told and went to the tree nearby reaching at the top for two large leaves. I brought them to her and sat on a large round rock watching as she finishes preparing supper outside.

At the front of our house, my mom would start a fire in preparing our meal daily for we did not have any kitchen. We too did not have any bathroom. If we wanted to take a bath, we had to go to the river and if we wanted to defecate, we would go to a spot not too far from our house.

"Here you go Hun," my mamma smiled and said as she gave me my roast fish.

I returned her smile and started to devour the delicious meal she had prepare and watched her as she sat on the ground beside me.

"Do you want my seat?" I asked her; wanting her to sit on the rock instead of the ground.

"No Hun, you don't need to," she answered.

"No mamma please take my seat," I begged her until we changed spots.

My momma was a beautiful she-wolf within her 40's. She has long brown hair that was as dark as walnut wood. She was not long nor was she short she was of the perfect height. Her eyes were light brown. She has beautiful eyes. I on the other hand was a twin of my mother except for my hair it was very curly. My mom would always tell me I have my father's hair. I would always smile whenever she said that and wanted to know more about my father, but I was afraid to ask more of him. Seeing the sadness within her eyes on the way she described my father. It was too much for her to handle and so I prevented myself from ever asking her about him.

My body jumped as I heard the thunder.

"It's going to rain soon," we must go inside my mamma told me.

Completing my meal, I threw away the leaf. Soon the rain had started to fall a little.

"Let's go inside quickly," my mamma ordered me.

We both ran inside and closed the rusty zinc door behind us as the rain begins to pour heavily. I went to sit on our straw bed. It was extremely comfortable to sleep on, other than wearing clothes my mamma made from leaves which would sometimes itch. Mamma laid beside me as we both stare into each other eyes. I smiled at her. I did not care about how we lived. I was happy we had each other.

"I can't wait to be 18 tomorrow," I told my mom excitedly.

My mamma would always tell me when I turn 18; I would become an adult and would no longer be a child. It may be stupid not being able to wait until I was 18 but I knew once I am, mamma could not stop me from staying too long in the river or being a little too far from the house for I was now an adult. Sadness covered my heart as I saw within my mamma brown eyes great worries.

"What is wrong mamma?" I inquired her worried.

She turned her back to me sadly.

I sat up immediately the minute and rested one of my hands on her shoulder worried.

"I have something I have to tell you, Nala," I heard my mom said, while I heard tears within her voice.

"What is it, mamma?" I inquired her frighteningly.

"Tomorrow is the full moon," she said softly.

I did not understand what she meant about tomorrow being a full moon for I knew and have always seen whenever there is a full moon so what did she mean by it; why was tomorrow's full moon starting to bother her now; I worried.

"I know mamma," I answered her.

I then heard her burst out into tears and sat up. I was even more worried seeing her within this strange behavior. Dwelling with my mother for year's I cannot ever remember seeing her cry. The rain pours heavily on the roof as if it wanted to deafen me, but still, I could hear my mother crying.

I hugged her from behind and too started to cry.

"You're scaring me, mamma," I told her terrified.

"I don't want to lose you tomorrow," she cried out even more as she turned around holding me in her arms.

I stare within her tearful eyes while I continued to cry and spoke to her softly.

"You're not going to lose me, mamma," I told her as I hugged her tightly.

My mamma held my face and stare deeply into my eyes.

"The full moon is going to allow the evil alpha to kill you," my mamma said terrifyingly.

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.

The Convict Heiress: Marrying The Billionaire

Rollins Laman

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."
