Claimed By The Alpha

Introduction
Lara has perfected the art of invisibility: a lone witch in a world of wolves, her true nature hidden behind a wall of quiet defiance and a dormant wolf she refuses to awaken. Her past is a locked box of fear, tied to a scar and an Alpha who claims her. All she wants is to stay hidden, even from the intense gaze of Matthew, her pack's future leader—and, impossibly, her fated mate.
Matthew knows she’s close. He's caught her scent, a tantalizing promise that slips away each time. Why would his own mate run from him? As danger closes in on the pack, the truth can no longer stay buried. He’s determined to claim her, but to win her, he must first unravel the secrets that make her fear the very bond that could save them both.
Chapter 1
Lara's POV
Another year is starting. Three less and I will be done. I'm not really the popular type and I'm not really social either, so I'm not especially enjoying my university's years. I can't wait for this to end. I'm studying the laws. I know not the sexiest thing to study but it's what Luke decided to study. As a future Gamma of the pack, he thinks that to know laws will help him. Also, he wants to be the voice of the ones who don't have one which is pretty honorable.
Luke is my only friend here. He is the only friend I have ever made here when I arrived 13 years ago. Not the people didn't try but believe me they had tried but he is the only one who never gave up. Not that I'm not sociable it's just I can't lose friends and I know it happened. You see, I have a really dark past, and as Aunty Jane used to say past always catch you up sooner and later. She also used to say the truth will always be revealed. And I really understood the sense of that when she died 2 years ago and my full past was revealed to me. I know one day he will come for me and if I don't want people I love to be hurt in the process, I need to keep my distance. It worked with everyone except Luke. And I know it's selfish but I need at least a friend here, even more now that Jane is gone.
Luke is my best friend, of course as my only friend he has no competition for the position but I'm a lucky girl because he is the best friend, you can dream of. He followed all my choices. I'm passionate about dance so he gave up football to take dance classes with me. Also, we always have all our classes together and I don't how but I know it was his doing. When I was 16, I applied to work with Team L again he applied with me. 16 might sound young for you but in the werewolf world, we are already mature as at 16 we can shift into our wolves. Well, the other werewolves can shift at 16, not me. There was an accident when I was 5 and ever thing I never were able to connect with my wolf. My alpha hoped that I would shift at 16 but I knew I wouldn't... I know, I know, I'm super mysterious but I'm scared to speak about what really happened and I'm also scared if I start to speak about it that my past will come after me.
Even I can't shift, I still have all the werewolf abilities, speed, strength, better vision, etc... The only thing that I've never tried is mindlinking. I don't know why exactly, maybe because I never felt like I was part of this pack. The price will be too high if I become a pack member. I can't be selfish and do that to them. Also, I'm not a 100% werewolf, I'm a witch too. Nobody knows that here, except Luke, of course, but he is keeping all my secrets even from his Alpha and I'm really grateful for that. See, he is the best friend that you could never have. This is why this time it was my turn to follow him and his wishes to study laws. And I'm happy to do it for him. I want to spend as much time as I can with him. He will be my light when my darkness will come after me.
Honk, honk!
Ah! It's him! He is picking me up as we are going together in our classes.
"Hey, Luke! Ready for a new year." I ask him, putting my seatbelt.
"Hey, Lara! As never. Remember whatever happens it's us against the world." He replies.
"Why are you saying that?"
"Because Matthew and Alex are back and I know how you don't like them."
"It's not that I don't like them. They are just so annoying!"
"If you say so." He mutters not believing me.
"You should spend time with them. As the future Gamma, you need to be more involved with them. You already refused to go to that training camp with them, now it's time to reconnect with them both." I tell him after a few minutes of silence.
Becoming my friend pushed him away from his other friends. And as I'm seeing like a weirdo and he's my friend, people tend to think he's one too. Which is totally false. He is one of the coolest guys I know. If only people could see that!
"I will not let you aside, so until you find a way to be friends with them. It's not going to happen." He says.
"Don't be ridiculous! You could lose your Gamma position!"
"So be it!" He says with defiance.
"Please, Luke! With both know how important is it for you."
He sighs:
"I will think about it."
"Thanks!! It's all I ask for."
"We will see, I have another problem to fix before." He says more for himself. I would have not hear him without my werewolf senses.
"You know, you can tell me everything. I can help you." I tell him.
"I know and I will if and when I'm ready."
"Okay..."
The rest of the ride we are listening to some songs. That makes me want to dance. My favorite dance is Tango and Luke is a really good dancer and partner. We both like a lot Capoeira too. We won a lot of competitions together.
"You know, you can tell me everything. I can help you." I tell him.
"I know and I will if and when I'm ready."
"Okay..."
What a shity first day! I was already hating university but with " the future Alpha and Beta" back all the she-wolves went crazy today! I don't even know why? I mean, of course, they are both built like gods and they held a position of power but come one! Don't be so desperate! I don't know how you can find them attractive when they are so annoying! uh!!! Can't wait to go home.
Suddenly a smell hit my nose. The smell of trouble...
"Hey, Luke!" I hear Matthew says in our back.
I can't help but roll my eyes.
"Hey Mathew, Alex." Luke replies turning toward them.
"Hey, Luke, Lara." Alex says.
"Hi" I reply.
Matthew is totally ignoring me, he didn't even say hello to me. What an ass! I can't for our next mission with the team L to have a break from the shity hole!

Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."

The Biker's Fate
I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected.

Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother
"What is wrong with me?
Why does being near him make my skin feel too tight, like I’m wearing a sweater two sizes too small?

Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.

And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.

Invisible To Her Bully
Rise of the Banished She-Wolf
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been glory—blood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend me—he sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrender—dive into the waves and never surface—but the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precision—becoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding stranger—and my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me pay—and take back everything that was stolen from me.
My Possessive Alpha Twins For Mate
My drunk stepfather remained indifferent, his weight suffocating, making it hard to breathe as my heart raced.
Suddenly, the door slammed open, and two figures burst in.
"Get off her!" a deafening roar echoed.
I didn't expect the twin brothers who'd bullied me at school to come charging in like gods to save me.
After my grandmother passed, I had to move in with my mom and stepdad, who treated me like a servant. I prayed every day for my 18th birthday to come, so l could leave and escape this broken home.
However, on my first day at my new school, l encountered the legendary twins everyone feared.
To make matters worse, the Moon Goddess revealed they were both my mates!
After helping me out with my stepdad, my twin mate cornered me, played with my hair, and whispered possessively, "You belong to us, our little mate..."
The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."
New to the world of shifters, Draven is human on the run. A beautiful girl who no one could protect. Domonic is the cold Alpha of the Red Wolf Pack. A brotherhood of twelve wolves that live by twelve rules. Rules which they vowed could NEVER be broken.
Especially - Rule Number One - No Mates
When Draven meets Domonic, he knows that she is his mate, but Draven has no idea what a mate is, only that she has fallen in love with a shifter. An Alpha that will break her heart to make her leave. Promising herself, she will never forgive him, she disappears.
But she doesn’t know about the child she’s carrying or that the moment she left, Domonic decided rules were made to be broken - and now will he ever find her again? Will she forgive him?
The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate
"You're like a sister to me."
Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back.
Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms.
I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.
To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind.
And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
Now, five years later, I'm back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother.
It's Tristan.
And he's not the guy I left behind.
He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.
