Summary:

 


When Caleb, heir of the four and alpha of his pack, attends a party celebrating his twin deltas’ birthday, he doesn't anticipate finding Luna’s greatest gift: his mate, Ava-Rain. Immediately consumed with curiosity and undeniable interest, he manages to make his presence known to her, but their introduction is kept brief. To reject one’s mate is to reject Luna herself, and that is exactly what Caleb intends to do. Not because he wants to but because he has to. But will he be able to stay away in order to ensure both her and his pack’s safety, or will their unbreakable connection lure him back and add even more trouble into the mix?

Title: Chapter 15: 10 (2) - '. . .hallucinate the tables are turning. . .'

My finger is itching to pull the trigger.... But anyway I'm glad ava rain is talking to Kasey because her other best friend has a dinner date with a certain female werewolf. Caleb should know his pack is now ava rains and they like her better so he can get over it. And now I am scared because if what happened before is gonna happen again then I am going to have to have several buckets of ice cream when ava rain decided to go to the park but I am studying to be a certified medical assistant.as for me remembering that I told you this is one of my favorite stories. Happy writing my friend update soon. 



Author's Response:

Still determined to put a silver bullet in Caleb's skull? AND you still want Jennifer to be eaten by Angelie? LOL, you're absolutely killing me!!!!

I may have to join you with those several buckets of ice cream because what happened before is definitely going to happen again. You're studying to be a medical assistant? That's so awesome! Your favourite twin is going to need somebody to tend to his wounds, lol.

As always, thank you so much for reading & for taking the time to review, Jadedbylifesavedbygrace!! It's such an honour to know that Alpha is one of your favourite stories because I never imagined that anybody would like it. So, thank you!

p.s. LOVED your YOS update! It was amazing, as always! :)

Title: Chapter 16: 11 - '. . .I'm done with burning bridges to the sun.'

Yeah we get to hear from kasey and luke I remember luke. Lol sigh I know what is going to happen in the next chapter or the one behind it and I am dreading it with a passion. If you insist on doing it please promise Jennifer dies a horrible death preferably by anglie and I will no longer threaten Caleb with the silver bullet. I think that would be a good deal and I have my medical bag on standby. Lol please update soon



Author's Response:

Lol, I love Kasey & Luke, so I'm glad you enjoyed hearing from them!

Yup, next chapter is definitely going to suck & I'm totally dreading posting it for a second time. LOL, I still make no promises that Jennifer will die a horrible death, though.

As always, thanks so much for reading & for your review, Jadedbylifesavedbygrace! Next chapter should hopefully be up soon! :)

Title: Chapter 17: 12 - 'Say goodbye, as we dance with the Devil tonight.'

I avoided reading this update for two days because I knew what was going to happen. I then tried to read it but could get past the first paragraph. I finally forced myself to read the chapter and my eyes were starting to water the moment Declan showed up at the door. And when she convinced him to o to the park I was screaming please go back to the car and I was cursing ava rain and the bitch that needs to die names. I am glad I know Declan is going to be okay. And I hope you have Caleb rip into ava rain more harshly than you did last time. Ava rain gets no sympathy for me none. I couldn't even enjoy  their romantic moment because all I could think about was ava rains upcoming stupidity. Jennifer better die he'll I'll even help anglie kill her if you let me. Stupid ava rain and her stupid sense of loyalty to that undeserving bitch. I did like how you explored the bond between Declan and ava rain though and I hope the moment she has with rickon happens again. I still love this story even though you like making me cry. Happy writing and update soon.



Author's Response:

I absolutely dreaded posting this chapter all over again, so I feel your pain!

It seems that Ava-Rain will not be getting sympathy from ANY readers, lol. Ya'll really are mad at the girl, arent you? I don't blame you, though. She really, really, REALLY messed up.

I love that you enjoyed Ava-Rain & Declan's bond in this chapter because I love writing scenes between those two. They're friendship is so special and pure because they're so alike.

I sooo do NOT like making you cry, lol! I'm sorry! And I'm sorry for having to put you through this for a second time! I know Declan's your boo, so I hope you'll forgive me for this!

As always, thanks so much for reading, despite how difficult it was (you so could have skipped this chapter!), and for taking the time to review, Jadedbylifesavedbygrace! Happy writing to you, as well! :)

Title: Chapter 18: 13 (1) - 'And my heart is a hollow plain, for the Devil to dance again. . .'

I love the update and as mad as I am at ava rain seeing how she feels now and Calebs low blow about family makes me soften that and the fact that Declan is okay. So the fake mate has a name. Hmmm her existence complicates things for Ava rain and Caleb and combined with the fact that Caleb has put her on a pedestal makes me not like her at all so she will remain fake mate. Lol hey at least I am honest about my dislike. Now give Declan a big hug for me.looking forward to the next update happy writing my friend. 



Author's Response:

Glad you enjoyed it!

Yeah, what Caleb said about family really hit home for Ava-Rain. It totally wasn't fair of him to say that, but, like he said, when it comes to emotions, there's no such thing as playing fair. :(

And YAY for your favourite being okay! But, you already knew that, lol.

And yes, 'fake mate' has a name, lol, but feel free not to use it. I like 'fake mate'! I know a lot of you guys aren't going to be happy with Caleb over this past relationship, but there's a reason why he loved 'fake mate' enough to actually want to make her his mate. No unneccessary drama in this story, I promise! Do you trust me? Lol.

As always, thanks so much for reading & for taking the time to review, Jadedbylifesavedbygrace! I totally should have had Part ll up by now, but I've slacking so much with editing. It should be up soon, though. :)

Title: Chapter 19: 13 (2) - 'If we're going to die, bury us alive. . .'

Well he told her about time . I feel for ava rain. As for what happened to fake mate you have given me yet another reason to love angelie she is the wolf. As for all of Caleb's pain and guilt about fake mate's death it sounds like she was his first chance at his own choice and I think he fell in love with the idea of her and what she represented and with her death came the death of that dream and yes I am willfully ignoring the part where ava rain felt his love for her and I am glad she forced him to finish tell the story. We all know if she didn't he wouldn't have finished it.hopefully Declan will be fine in the next chapter lol happy writing my friend



Author's Response:

About time is right! And, LOL, no love—or at least some sympathy—for Emmy Grace? She so didn't deserve what Angelie did to her.

Emmy Grace was definitely Caleb's first chance at his own choice, but he also really did love her, for reasons that not even he completely understands. As for Ava-Rain, love that despite his difficult admission, she managed to stay strong & refused to let Caleb walk away. As for Declan, he will definitlely be in the next chapter! I can't wait & I'm sure you can't either! ;)

As always, thanks so, so much for reading & for your review, Jadedbylifesavedbygrace! :)

Title: Chapter 20: 14 - '. . .and as you showed me your scars, I only held you closer.'

 I have to say I love this chapter I am glad Declan is okay and I understand the conditioning. Even if it was pointless I am glad ava rain stood up for Declan. I admit anglie was completely wrong for what she did to fake mate but at the same time something you said in this chapter stood out to me anglies love for Caleb outweighed her hate for fake mate so maybe there was something else at play that we don't know what's going on just like with Jennifer. I am glad Caleb and Ava Rain were able to talk and I thought both the alpha and soon to be alpha promises were cute. I also like the way you are explaining and exploring the rest of the pack and Ava Rain. Happy writing my friend



Author's Response:

I'm so happy that you loved it!

You already know how protective she is of Declan, so there was no way Ava-Rain wasn't going to stand up for him. We're definitely seeing a stronger, more assertive Ava-Rain now. As for Angelie, I'm so glad that you remember that specific part about Angelie's love for Caleb outweighing her hate for 'fake mate'<---lol. It definitely makes you wonder if there is more to that story JUST like with Jennifer. It's good to see that I'm keeping you guys on your toes! That was a much needed conversation that needed to happen between Caleb & Ava-Rain because continuing to avoid the big elephant in the room would not have done either of them any favours.

As always, I thank you so very much for reading & reviewing, Jadedbylifesavedbygrace! Happy writing to you, as well! :)

Title: Chapter 23: 17 - 'cause I'm broken when I'm open, & I don't feel like I am strong enough.'

Hi my friend I love it when I am right. Lol but seriously I liked this chapter. Is ava rain concern for Kane her alpha female spidey sense kicking in? Ava Rain is going to flip shot on kasey and kasey is going to do the same to he for keeping secrets but that's life. I m glad that Caleb and Ava Rain are talking about their issues but I wish they weren't so quick to expect the negative and over looking the positive albeit given their background it is understood.  I am taking your advice and stepping back from yos. As for whose view I say ava rain because kasey is her best friend and the people she considers family so her pov is more important in this situation

 Just my thoughts happy writing my friend. Ps I need more Declan in my life so hop to it lol



Author's Response:

LOL! So glad you enjoyed this chapter, Jadedbylifesavedbygrace! Ava-Rain & Kasey are most definitely going to be pissed for keeping secrets from each other, that's for sure! Thanks so much for your input in regards to which POV to use! I felt like either would work since Kasey & her family being hunters will have an impact on BOTH Caleb & Ava-Rain in different ways. I love your thoughts so thanks for sharing them! As for YOS, hopefully taking a step back works for you as much as it works for me!

As always, thanks for reading & for your review! As for your Declan, not yet sure when he'll make another appearance, but I hear your pleas & I'll try not to deprive you of him for too long! ;)

Title: Chapter 24: 18 - '. . .burn everything you love then burn the ashes.'

Oh my Bae is back. I missed this story. The funny thing is I was rereading alpha yesterday. lol well it looks like Ava Rain doesn't have to worry about losing Kasey and the Hellards but Kasey is going to have a problem handing this and so is Kane. Is it mean that I started laughing my butt off at them. 😅 I am glad Caleb is keeping his promise and now miss Ava Rain. An raise from the ashes like the phoenix and become the alpha female she is. Happy writing my friend and glad to see and update but now I need to get my butt in gear and work on Yos



Author's Response:

LOL! Yes, your Bae is back! ;)

It may seem like Ava-Rain no longer has to worry about losing Kasey & the Hellands, but that's assuming that Kasey & Kane will ACCEPT each other as mates. And judging by their reactions, that may or may not happen. LOL @ you laughing at them!

As always, thank you so, SO much for reading & reviewing, Jadedbylifesavedbygrace! Happy writing to you, as well! :)

I love it as always and Ava rain is a getting stronger and I hope this time apart will help her grow but how do the purebloods already know about Ava/Caleb before they themselves knew? So confused.

I read the story and I really enjoyed your writing style and hope you continue writing. I however don't think this is the right site for this particular story. As others have stated this is a safe haven for women of color and I understand you are exploring different pairings and character interaction but considering white women are considered the ideal or default heroine in the western world there are an abundance of places you can post this story from wattpad and wordpress to livejournal and to choose valentchamber to post ww/bm does as a another reviewer said feel like a slap in the face. I do wish you luck however.



Author's Response:

Jayedbylifesavedbygrace,

Thank you for reading HIS WINTER WONDERLAND and the list of other site locations.  I posted on this particular sight because it is my home as well.  I asked the readers of THE CHAMBER for their feedback which was crucial to me determining whether or not to write such a series and how best to write it. 

After a more thorough critiquing, I realize that the genre WWBM is too serious of a category to cloud the subjects I want to talk about with sex.  I have decided not to distract from the stories which will cover a multitude of issues with EROTICA. 

I am grateful  that THE CHAMBER exists and that I was able to receive very different opinions on this genre.  It may appear distasteful, disrespectful and even feel as though you were slapped unexpectedly in the face by an intruder.  But, it was not done deliberately or maliciously.  Again I state, this is my safe haven as well.   This is a place that has allowed me to see that I have a talent as a writer. 

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Griffin

Getting stuck in federal prison at nineteen wasn't wholesome. Being an accomplice to multinational drug trafficking wasn't moral, either. Worst of all, however, is waiting for your ten-year sentence to run up, only to get stuck in witness protection with the world's biggest jackass.
