Alpha Enforcer II: Griffin Part Twenty-Two
Sierra stood in front of me, very close to me, she leaned forward and kissed me. I don’t know what I was thinking in that moment as I kissed her back, but I felt a pull towards her that I couldn’t explain. Her hands were on my face and mine were pulling her closer.I lifted her up as I stood and placed her on the bathroom counter. She was wearing a t-shirt and I was practically naked. She wrapped her legs around me and pulled me closer to her. I pulled the t-shirt over her head as I felt my wounds starting to heal.I didn’t remember moving us to the bed or taking my underwear off but the next moment I was hovering on top of her, pushing into her and reality set in when she hissed in pain and I stopped moving. It dawned on me then, but it was too late to stop.“Don’t stop, Griffin,” she whispered.I didn’t stop, neither of us wanted to stop. Things changed for me in that moment as I looked into her eyes, moving slowly together. I started to feel things I hadn’t felt in eight years and

“What just happened?” Sierra asked me as we waited at the reception counter.“You’ve been released on bail in my custody, so now I’m responsible for you attending court or I’ll be arrested,” I said to her.“You paid two million dollars?” she whisper yelled at me.“Yes, if you attend court the bail money will be paid back to me when the trial ends,” I said to her.She looked at me with wide eyes as Ravi came back and handed me a memory stick. It would contain all the evidence, statements, video footage, if there were any, and all other matters related to the case. I thanked her and nudged Sierra towards the elevator.“Two million dollars,” she whispered.“It’s just money, Sierra,” I said to her as we reached the ground floor and I signed us out of the building by scanning my handprint onto the screen again.We left the building and walked back towards the way we came. I grabbed her hand again as more people filled the sidewalks and kept walking towards the portal. It opened again and I

“There’s something I need you to do,” I said to Sierra two weeks later as I finished my trial preparation for the day.The amount of evidence I had worked through had been insane and there were a lot to process and I had a whole notebook full of notes and questions. I had requested independent investigators for the video footage, handwriting analysis and I also requested the dungeon records from the Hastings pack. I was still waiting for feedback on most of my requests.“What do you need?” Sierra asked.“You need to formally reject the Hastings pack,” I said to her.“But I was never part of their pack,” she said.“Technically you were, you lived there among them for your whole life, even if you never took the oath to obey the Alpha, you accepted their rules and punishments as if you were a member,” I said to her.“Okay, how do I do that?” she asked.“I, Sierra Peyton, hereby reject the Hastings pack as my own, I reject Alpha Conrad Hastings as my Alpha and protector. I hereby accept t

“Griffin! Where are you going?” Jett asked as I grabbed my weapons and pushed him out of my way and walked to the clearing.“Didn’t you just see what I saw?” I asked him as I turned around and glared at him.“Take a breath, brother, I know we saw someone that looks like her,” he said.“No, that was her! I don’t know how but that’s what I’m going to find out,” I said to him as I started walking again.“It’s not possible, we all saw her die Griffin, I was there with you, remember!” he said loudly.“I know what we saw, I’ve seen it every night for the past eight years!” I yelled at him.“And what about Sierra?” he asked me.“What about Sierra?” I yelled, “I don’t know what to think or feel but I have to find Samantha!”“Fine, but I’m coming with you,” he said.“Potestatiu solis et luna. Tellus, venti, aque, ignis,” I said as nature’s elements combined in my mind’s eye.“Aperta portal,” I said and the portal opened in front of us.We walked through the portal and stood outside the buildin

My sleep was restless and I struggled to stay asleep. Both of their scents haunted me and in the end it was Samantha’s scent that won. My door creaked open and I was awake instantly as her scent reached out to me in my room.“Griffin,” she whispered from the doorway and I sat up in my bed.“What’s wrong?” I asked her.She walked towards the bed and sat down in front of me. She looked wide awake as she tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear. I could smell the shampoo from her hair, she was so close to me as she leaned forward and kissed me.It was all too familiar, the way she grabbed my shirt in her hand and pulled me closer, her other hand around my neck and before I knew it she was straddling me. I opened my eyes and broke the kiss off and pushed her off me.“We can’t,” I said as she sat on the bed and looked at me.“Because you have her now?” she asked me bitterly.“Sam, it’s complicated,” I sighed.“Not really, Griff. I’ve waited eight years for you, praying you’d come to find

I regained consciousness and felt the searing pain in my back as someone cut me open and pressed down on my shoulder blades as I tried to move. I could feel the bullet being taken out and I had no idea where I was.“Stop moving you idiot, I’m trying to help you,” Octavia said.“Octavia?” I questioned.“Who else would be out here trying to save your sorry ass?” she asked me.I gritted my teeth as she dug the other two bullets out and I had clenched my jaw as she made the cuts where my body had healed over the bullets. I felt the relief as the bullets were taken out and my healing kicked in once again.“How did you find me?” I asked her.“Kane somehow spoke to me,” she said.She helped me into a sitting position as Kane licked over my wounds, helping to seal them. I’d been closer to death tonight than I had ever been before. She’d shot me in the back, Samantha had shot me. It was as if my mind couldn’t grasp that reality.“What happened?” Octavia asked me.“I was betrayed, just like you

“All rise,” the court officer called out and the door at the back opened and Judge William Harding stepped through and towards his bench.“You may all be seated now,” the same officer called out after the judge had taken his seat.He opened the file and read through it for a few minutes before looking up and closing it. He poured himself a glass of water and drank slowly from it, irritating me because I was ready to get this under way.“Let’s get this show on the road,” Judge Harding said and looked at Nathaniel. “The prosecution may start.”“Your Honour we’ve spoken at length to Darius White over the weekend and I believe that we have a plea deal on the table,” Nathaniel said and my head snapped up. I was sitting in the back row of the court room.“We have Your Honour,” Darius said.“Your Honour, may I approach?” I asked as I stood up and every head turned to look at me.“Mr. Woods, you may,” Judge Harding said.I picked up my brief case and walked towards the judge’s bench, followed

“Come on let’s go,” I said to Sierra as I picked my briefcase up and put the copies of the prosecution’s witness statements away.“Where are we going? I thought court’s finished for the day,” she said.“We’re going home,” I said to her.“I don’t think that’s a good idea,” she said.“We need to talk about everything at some point,” I said to her.“Can you please just give me time until after the trial?” she asked me.“If that’s what you want,” I said and walked away from her.I looked at the strange car parked in front of my garage and my heart hammered in my chest as I caught his scent. Fucking Jett and his big mouth. The door opened as I stepped onto the porch and he engulfed me in a hug, wrapping his arms around me tightly.“I had to come,” he said as he let go of me.“You shouldn’t have,” I said to him as I pushed past him and walked into my house.“Griff, don’t shut me out,” he said.“Why don’t you hate me?” I asked him.“I could never hate you,” he said.“You should, I do,” I sai

“Wake up Samantha,” I said as I sat on one of the chairs that I had pulled up close to the bed.“Griffin?” she asked questioningly as she rubbed her eyes and sat up groggily, “what’s going on?”“Why did you do it?” I asked her.“Do what?”“Why did you betray me?” I asked.“I didn’t, what are you talking about?” she asked me.“You knew that attack was happening, you gave your father information about me, about my family,” I said.“Griffin….” she said.“Where is it?” I asked her.“Where’s what?” she asked me looking somewhat afraid now.“Your hunter’s mark,” I said and her eyes widened just a fraction. It was so sudden that I almost missed it.“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she said as her eyes darted to the door.“You smell different, I didn’t want to believe it at first, but Kane was right, I can smell it now,” I said to her.She darted up from the bed and pulled the door open to find Kane standing there growling at her. I stood up as she backed away and pushed her back tow

I found Kane sitting near the jetty looking out over the lake. He seemed lost in thought and he hadn’t been in the house all day. I had brought his dinner with me because now I was worried. It wasn’t like Kane to act like this.“What’s up with you, big guy?” I asked him as I placed the container down in front of him.“Nothing,” he said and gobbled his food up.“What are you doing out here?” I asked him.“Waiting,” he said.“Waiting for what?” I asked.“Something,” he said.“I’m starting to worry about you, Kane,” I said and he looked at me.“I don’t know how to explain it. Something’s off, I don’t know what, something’s not right with Samantha,” he said.“What do you mean?”“Her scent’s different, she smells like them,” he said.“Them who?”“Hunters,” he said and looked back towards the lake.“I pulled her from a warehouse crawling with them,” I said.“No, her scent’s changed Griffin, how can you not smell it? She’s been here for a whole day and she still smells different,” he said.I

Samantha had fainted in my arms and I was now sitting on the couch watching her sleep after I had gotten us out of that building and safely through the portal. I still couldn’t believe that I was looking at her.The sun would rise soon yet I wasn’t as tired as I should be. I guess the shock of finding her was enough to keep me wide awake. She lay there peacefully while an inner turmoil waged war inside me. Kane had returned an hour ago and so far he’d only been staring at her intently.“Is this real?” Kane asked me after a moment.“I don’t know,” I said to him.She stirred slightly and I sat watching her wake up. It was like I knew every stretch of her muscles, every groan as her senses awakened, the way her eyelids flickered lightly before opening, the smile tugging on the sides of her lips.“Griff…. Griffin?” she said questioningly as she sat up blinking a few times.“All these years I thought you were dead,” I said to her.“I can’t believe you’re here,” she whispered looking at me

I kept my eyes closed for a few more seconds as my mind cleared from the fog of sleep and I swung my legs over the edge of the bed as I rubbed my face with my hands. The air was chilly but it didn’t bother me. I looked at the clock and saw that it was almost five am.I got dressed in sweatpants and a hoodie and made my way downstairs to the kitchen. I made coffee for myself and swallowed the aftertaste of scotch away. There was a dull headache thumping at the back of my head and I wondered how much I drank last night.Kane didn’t stir from his spot as I finished my coffee and slapped him on his ribs. He growled at me but said nothing, it wasn’t really unusual, he liked to ignore me. I left the front door open and started jogging to the other side of the house and into the trees.I didn’t really feel like jogging but I knew that I had to get the alcohol out of my system otherwise I’d be useless for the rest of the day and I had plenty to do. The run cleared my head and by the time I go

I don’t know how long I sat on the ground with Sierra’s body clasped against mine, willing her to live, trying to warm up her ice cold skin. Kane had left at one point and when he returned it was with Jett following him.“Griffin,” he whispered.I couldn’t look at him, I couldn’t even breathe properly. My head snapped up as Jett’s hands touched her and I wanted to rip his arms off for daring to come close to her. His hand landed on my shoulder instead but I couldn’t focus on his voice.“Shit Griff,” he said and I looked up as I saw tears in his eyes.“She’s gone,” I whispered.“I know Griff, I’m sorry brother, I’m so sorry,” he said.“Just leave me alone,” I said and lowered my head to hers again.“Griff you need to come home, bring her home so we can lay her to rest properly,” he said. He reached out for her again and I pulled her back against me.“Don’t touch her,” I said and he stood up and took a step backwards with his hands in the air.I stood up with his help and kept her close

I woke up on the floor of my bedroom, alone. It was dark and quiet and I groaned as I rolled onto my back. Sierra’s scent was fading and the choking feeling of pain gripped me again. She had left me, she had really left me. How had I missed our wedding?She would never forgive me or take me back now, all this for my revenge. It could’ve waited, I could’ve killed them later, after the wedding but like every other time in my life, that bloodlust took over and I just had to kill them.“Kane,” I murmured.“I’m here,” he said sounding dejected.“She left,” I said.We could both feel her pain, it would continue until I accepted her rejection. She was heartbroken and it was killing me slowly. Chester’s words were also still with me, Samantha’s abortion, locked in a cage for three years. She had wanted to tell me everything.I had killed her out of rage when she was forced to betray me. I didn’t want to believe him but I did. She had betrayed me but not that first time, only after being subje

“How did you figure it out?” Chester asked me.He was strapped to the stainless steel table and he knew that death would come for him soon, he just didn’t realize what I was going to do to him before he died.“Someone sent me a text, telling me where to find that original agreement that you kept in your safe,” I said to him.“Who?” he asked me.“I don’t know Chester, I don’t really care, once I had that agreement, the rest was fairly easy,” I told him.“It would’ve gone the same way, your father just beat you to it,” he said.“That was the biggest mistake of your life, you should’ve known I’d come after you for this,” I said.“That’s why I had Rosco, he was supposed to shoot you in the head,” he said.“Why do you want me dead so badly?” I asked him.“It all started with that hunter treaty, I gave them information and they took out my enemies too, you messed all that up,” he said to me.“How? You won that case, you got the treaty,” I said to him.“Samantha Cartwright, her father was li

I took a knife from the block in the kitchen and walked slowly upstairs and stopped at the first guest room. Kevin and Phil were sharing the double bed with a pillow placed between them. Phil was snoring and they were both lying on their backs.I walked right up to Kevin, one floorboard creaking but they didn’t even move in their sleep. I watched him for a few minutes as he lay there peacefully, not knowing that they willingly came with me to their deaths.I slit his throat quietly and had my over his mouth and nose to minimize the noises he’d make as he struggled for air. He never even opened his eyes, the cut had severed the arteries and not just nicked them.I removed my hand when I heard his heart stop and I stuck the knife deep into his chest, leaving it there. Kane was already on the bed when I closed the door behind me and took a shower to wash the blood off. Some of it had sprayed onto my face and my hand was covered as well.I slept peacefully that night and I was awake but s

“Kane,” I spoke in his mind the moment I ported back into the house, “computer room.”“Is that an order, Alpha?” he asked me and yawned.“Trust me, you want in on this,” I said to him.Kane didn’t answer me but I knew he’d meet me. He was loyal when it mattered and only gave me shit about things that didn’t matter. When it came down to it, Kane always had my back and I wanted him with me when I did this.“I’m here, what’s the emergency,” he asked me.“The Council has asked for our protection and we’re going to take them to a safe location,” I said to him.“You woke me up for babysitting duty?” he growled at me.“We’re babysitting the men responsible for Damon’s death,” I said to him.“What the fuck Griffin…. oh, I get it,” he said as realization dawned on him.“I’m not an idiot, Kane,” I said to him.“Debatable, how did you manage this one?” he asked me.“Seems Grant was murdered in his office and now they’re running scared,” I said.“And who killed Grant?” he asked me flicking his ta
