Alpha Braddock 84 - Victory and Pride
Braddock's POVGiving Abi a ride back to the pack house was the best victory I could ever have, her little body relaxed on Ceasar's back, her little fists curled into his neck fur to hang on, her steady breathing in his ear. Ceasar's pride was shining in his steady trot, he howled as he passed all the pups armed with weapons to protect Abi and their pack, his chest puffed out as he walked past them, knowing he had deminished the biggest threat to our pup and future pups. Hearing what Vincent said about him putting Charlie through all her pain for her to gain power was sickening. As a father, I couldn't imagine ever putting any pup through what he made sure happened to his own granddaugter. I get to the pack house doors and lower my body, Abi slides down off me and I shift back to human form, kneeling in front of her, I pick her up in my arms and walk inside. I watch as her blue eyes scan around the house, "Daddy," she lays her head on my shoulder and yawns, "movie pwees." I tak
Alpha Braddock 85 - Return to Midnight
Charlie's POVReturning to the Midnight pack with Vincent's remains was difficult, even more so for Abi. Her young mind cannot wrap around a family member doing such a thing, especially Nonna's husband. Abi adores Nonna and so do I, but a part of me is reluctant to believe she knew absolutely nothing about Abi's abduction or my own. As we pull up to the pack house, Alpha Michael and Mom are standing on the porch waiting for us. The car carrying the remains continued to the sanctuary building just behind where the pyre is set up. Braddock opened my door and I slid out holding Abigail's hand tightly as we waited for him to remove our overnight bags from the back seat. The pyre will be lit tonight, but I nor Abi will attend, I wanted to be here for Nonna, I may have my doubts but she still deserves us with her. We reached the top step and Momma leaned down to Abi, "Hi Abigail, I'm so happy you've come to visit, may I have a hug?"Abi removed her hand from mine and hugs her Nonna R
Alpha Braddock 86 - You knew
Braddock's POVI should have thought about this more, before bring Abigail back to Midnight, she was just starting to move forward from the kidnapping, only to be held at knife point from the same man. I know my little girl, she's trying hard to be brave, but she's only a little girl. I smile at her as she plays on her ipad, her little tongue sticking out of her mouth in concentration, "what you playing sweetpea?"She shakes her head, "not playing Daddy, learning."I sit down next to her and look over at the ipad, there is a picture of a cat and letters on the bottom and 3 squares for her to place the right letter in to spell what the picture is. I watch her as she moves her finger over the K then over the C and moves it to the first square, then the A to the second and finally the T to the third. The screen lights up and ballons fly up from the bottom of the screen to the top. She looks up at me her smile beaming, "I did it Daddy."I smile at her, "you did, you're so smart, what
Alpha Braddock 87 - Discovery
Charlie's POV"Momma slow down where are we going?"She tugs me harder, "the root cellar, if he held Abigail there, maybe we can find evidence he had you there too." I dug my feet into the ground, "Momma what good will it do if you find anything, he's dead, Braddock decapitated him."She spins looking me in the eye, "are you telling me that if Abigail had been gone as long as you were that you wouldn't want to know every detail. Charlie if he took you and hid you right here," she looks into the distance towards the root cellar, "he was worse than any of us could imagine, I need to know what kind of monster my own father was." I shuddered as I watched her heading for the root cellar, I sighed and followed, she's right I guess, maybe if I look and take in what exactly Abigail went through it could help in her healing.I followed her down inside, it was dark and cold, the smell of decaying earth surrounded us as my visioin became better in the darkness, thanks to our werewolf vision,
Alpha Braddock 88 - Luna Rose
Luna Rose's POVAs I hit the bottom step heading towards the kitchen, Alpha Braddock carrying Abigail and Charlie right behind him stormed out, "Is everything alright?" Alpha Braddock looked at me, his jaw was closed tightly, Abigail's head lifted from his neck, "Nonna Rose we go home, I don't want to be here," her little chin quivered as tears welled in her eyes. My heart broke, my only grandchild has went through hell already and now doesn't feel safe in my home. I looked at Charlie, her eyes swirling with anger, "Charlie, I understand," I bowed my head.Charlie's voice was soft, not matching her expression, "Momma, Abigail needs time to heal and," she looked at Braddock and Abigail, "we all need time to process this, it's just too soon to be able to understand each other's feeling on the matter." She shook her head, "I can't be sad that Braddock removed this threat for good, while other's in the house mourn his absence." I nodded, "let me go with you to your room, so I can ha
Alpha Braddock 89 - The Diner
Charlie's POVWe've been driving for 2 hours and my stomach growls, Braddock looks at me and chuckles, "hungry?"I side eye him, "you think?"He looks ahead and sighs, "the only place between here and home is the Diner."I squirm in my seat, the memories flash in my mind of my past, but the only good thing that was in my life then was the Diner and the older couple that owned it, "that's fine, hopefully Margie is still alive and kicking in the old place."He glances at me with concern, "are you sure, I don't want any bad memories haunting you, you have enough going on right now."I smile at him, his profile is still as gorgeous as the first time I looked at him seated next to him in a car, similar to this one, but then he was a kind stranger, "I have a wonderful memory of that place too you know, it may have been one of my worst days, but you managed to make it the turning point of my life." I watched his dimple appear in his cheek and knew he had a huge smile on his face, his voice w
Alpha Braddock 90 - Alpha Michael
Sitting in my office, I rubbed my forehead and leaned back in my chair, I got through the pyre ceremony for my grandfather with difficulty, my inner turmoil of right and wrong wreaking havoc in my mind. My grandfather told me long ago about the power inside the DeLuca females, but kept hidden the power of the males. He told me we possess the power of mind minipulation, to alter the truth so that we never will be held accountable for our wrong doings, unless caught red handed. He covered his track well with Charlene, so well in fact he dragged me into it. I was so young and indifferent, I hadn't known Charlene so when he told me about what he had done and how he had fooled everyone, I was awestruck. No one talked about Charlene to me, but every time Momma Rose talked about her, she would cry uncontrolably and it saddened me to think she was still hurting over her. I took it as a female weakness, to continue to mourn the loss of someone you held dear at one time. My grandfather t
Alpha Braddock 91 - Mind Manipulation
Charlie's POVAbigail fell asleep after eating at the Diner, I looked over at Braddock with concern, "Momma and I went to the root cellar on our walk." His eyes stayed focused on the road, his jaw tightened, "and." I took a deep breath, "she found journals, one is from when I was abducted and the other is about Abi," my eyes automatically went to the back seat, her little body curled up with a soft blanket over her. I turned back to Braddock, his knuckles white gripping the steering wheel, his jaw ticked as a low growl escaped his chest, "where are the journals?" I looked out the window at the forest, trees now blurry as he drives faster, "I have Abi's and Momma kept mine." I turned to look at him, "I haven't been able to read it yet, I thought it could help with her recovery if we knew exactly what he had done." He nodded, I unbuckled my seatbelt and slid over to him, putting my head on his shoulder, "Braddock, calm down please, your driving too fast on this road," I placed my

Alpha Braddock 122 - Baby step
As I drive to our meeting wearing a black button up shirt, black jeans and black boots, I’m thinking of all the things I should have done during these past couple of weeks. After the very non-insightful meeting with both her parents I knew I was on my own. She threw out the roses I left for her in her Jeep, so flowers are out. She's more tom boy then feminine, she has a killer body, but dresses in jeans and camo. I painted a picture of what Boris showed me of Storm, her wolf and for some reason wildflowers just seemed needed wrapped around her beautiful wolf. By the time I had finished it, I had added Boris and a waterfall, it took me a few days to finally send a picture of it to her and it was a coincidence that it was last night and the full moon. When she responded with the word “Beautiful.”I couldn’t help but to respond back with the exact words that left my lips when I saw her response, SO ARE YOU. I paced my room all night, wondering if she was okay, if someone would hel
Alpha Braddock 121 - First HEAT
I walked into my office and slump into my chair, training this morning went well, I worked out with the warriors and then spared with many. The amount of energy I have today is immense and I know why, the full moon is tonight, and I’ll be in pain for hours. I pull up my e-mails and find several from Alpha Sebastian and Alpha Terrance about the grand opening Friday night. I pull them up and find different flyers that are going to be distributed about the club. Some are directed at the supernatural community and others are for the human’s. It’s a big chance to have the mix, but with the amount of power we all have and each of us having a night to be in attendance we should be fine. I find an e-mail from Alpha Christov I click on it and just stare.It's a picture of an open field of wildflowers, a waterfall in the background and two wolves nose to nose and the space between them is in a heart shape. I can’t help but smile as I look at the sheer beauty of the picture. I stare at t
Alpha Braddock 120 - Meeting her parents
I sit in my office watching the clock tick away, her father will be here any minute and though I’ve thought about everything I will say and every question I will ask, I’m nervous, like a teenage boy wanting permission to date his daughter. I just hope Sasha stays away today, I broke it off with her 2 weeks ago, had her move out of the pack house and into a small cottage. She was livid, called me everything under the moon and I have no idea what some of them even meant. She keeps coming back though, her outfits skimpier and skimpier, barely covering any of her private bits, soon she’ll be walking around naked, and for shifters that’s not a huge deal after shifting, but we don’t normally walk around that way.The guards at the gate let me know that Former Alpha Braddock of the Crescent Moon pack is entering our territory, and I walk to the doors of the pack house. I stand there and watch as a brand new SUV rolls up and he steps out of the driver’s side and rounds the car and opens th
Alpha Braddock 119 - Talking to Storm
I return to the pack house and sit in my office going over the financial reports from our diversified business as a hard knock hits my door. I lean back in my chair and call out, “come on in Dad.”He opens the door and smiles widely at me, “seems someone’s mate is calling for help, couldn’t be a better time.” He sits in the chair opposite me and chuckles, “yours.”My eyes widen at him, “Alpha Christov called you for help with what?”His brow arches, “probably you,” he waves his hand dismissively, “doesn’t matter as long as I get to sit down and talk to him, assess him,” he shrugs, “also gets me inside his pack, perhaps I can see if something is amiss.”I lean back in my chair and look at him, “I don’t think he’s the one dad, he may be a lot of things, arrogant, rude, obnoxious and self-centered, but he doesn’t strike me as the type to deal with pedophilia in any manner.” I stand and walk over to the window, “from all accounts he's not flashy, this business is swimming in money," the
Alpha Braddock 118 - Acting on advice
My mother was surprised when I told her I needed her, I'm 30 and haven't needed her for a while now, but this bond with Abigail has me baffled. The first thing she told me was to get rid of Sasha and that I should be ashamed that I hadn't already and was surprised that as an Alpha my mate hadn't rejected me because of it. My mother is strong, she raised us right, but we sometimes forget how to be the men she raised and made me very aware of that particular fact, "you we're raised better than to act like you have no sense."I’ve missed seeing Abigail every time I have arrived at the construction site, either she has just left or had been there hours prior. Today when I pulled up, her purple jeep is parked in the lot, I grabbed the dozen roses I bought and put them on the driver’s seat of her jeep. I smile as I turn to head for the office, I take two strides and see her coming down the stairs with her hard hat under her arm. She’s breathtakingly beautiful and a genuine smile curls
Alpha Braddock 117 - Idiot
I’ve managed to avoid Christov for 3 weeks, I go to the job site daily, but at different times, so that the workers have no idea when I will arrive and neither do any of the other Alpha’s.Today I’m going with Beta Josh, I love my cousin, but he can be a royal pain in the ass when it comes to me, he’s extremely protective, which is his job but because he’s family he can be over the top with it. I step out of the car and head for the small trailer they call an office, I knock and enter only to find Alpha Sebastian there with the supervisor. I smile at the two, “good afternoon, how are things going today, Ralph?”Ralph is human as most of the workers on this job site, since our business is in the human’s city it just seemed right to use them, I guess. Ralph smiles at me, “Miss Abigail, everything is running as you expected,” he stands and offers me his seat, which I decline with a head shake. He continues, “the aquarium is being installed right now, would you like to take a look.” I
Alpha Braddock 116 - Fate or Choice
I sit in my car outside the pack house, my knuckles white as I grip the steering wheel, I should go to her pack, talk to her, see what is going on in that beautiful head of hers. A knock on my window brings me back to reality, I look out and see Beta Charles. I sigh heavily and open the door and get out, “what’s going on?”He chuckles, “just wondering how long you planned on sitting in your car Alpha Christov, you’ve been here 30 minutes already?”I furrow my brows at him and slam the door, brush by him and head for my office, he follows in silence. I drop in my chair and glare at him, “what?”He shuts the door and sits opposite me, “Alpha Christov, what’s going on with you, ever since yesterday, you’ve been acting,” he rubs the back of his neck, “different.”I threw my head back and shut my eyes, her face appears every time I do and now it’s irritating me, she should want me as bad as I want her, and the feeling is only growing stronger the further apart we are. I tilt my head dow
Alpha Braddock 115 - Talking to Momma
Momma wraps her arms around me as I get out of the car and walks with me to the garden, we sit on the blanket she has already splayed out on the ground and a basket sits on top of it. We sit and she looks at me, “what happened Abigail?”I blink back the tears that are stinging the backs of my eyes, “it snapped into place right before I was getting into the car.”She bites her bottom lip, her eyes soften and she speaks calmly, “I know you didn’t want it to happen before we knew for sure if he is the one that it behind the pup abduction ring, but now it has happened what do you want to do?”The shock of her questions, dries any tears that were threatening me a second ago, “what do you mean, he is one of the people we think could be the head of all this, you think that I would jeapordize myself to be with him and then find out he is the one.”She nods, “okay and if he’s not the one and totally innocent of this entire disgusting mess, then what, you said he has a chosen Luna already.”I
Alpha Braddock 114 - When the Bond Snaps
I get in the car and slam my fist into the dashboard, “AepbMo,” (shit) I look in the backseat and frown, I had it planned out, I reach over the seat and grab the bouquet of red long stem roses, open the window and throw them out it. I shake my head; I don’t know what I was thinking. Boris laughs, “you were thinking she would be alone, and you would be able to get some alone time,” he snickers. I shake my head, she’s too fucking beautiful, I throw my head back and close my eyes. The entire morning replays in my mind, from the time she jumped out of that SUV, my heart was racing. I watched her every stride, her long legs, in those tight jeans, her jacket hugging her hips and her breasts bouncing with every step, a few of her long black curls bouncing around her face. I shake my head, those pink lips curling into a beautiful smile as she spoke. Then fucking Sebastian has to flirt with her and fuck me if she didn’t flirt right back, like a dagger to my chest, I couldn’t help but gro
