Alpha Enzo 096 | THE LAST THREADS
Enzo’s POVI sighed. I didn’t have the energy to fight him. He’d won. He would always win. “Of course you did,” I replied, sidling over to Bennett and eyeing him cautiously. He knew, of course, that I would do as such, and he leant towards me a fraction of a second before I could. Our noses brushed; I recoiled.“You’re going to ask why I’m here.” He arched an eyebrow at me. “And then a litany of more, very boring, questions. Fortunately for you, Strength, the time has come to answer them. But can we at least have this conversation somewhere more comfortable than this?” He wrinkled his nose at the cool stone walls and slate floors. “Somewhere less… grey?”“You’re quite clearly the one that chose this location, not me.” I dragged a hand through my hair and sighed again, pointedly this time. “You’ll really answer my questions?”“Scout’s honour.” He patted his chest.I groaned. “Fine. But we’re going somewhere that serves alcohol. And you’re paying.”* * *I felt much better after Bennet
Alpha Enzo 097 | A WOLF'S INSTINCT
Scarlett’s POVI bent double, panting hard. “I yield,” I hissed, licking blood from my split lip. “I yield.”I’d needed a distraction, so I’d come to afternoon training. Priestley had mostly healed from his mild strangulation that morning, but he’d offered to take it easy for today and work with me.Alpha Ryker had nodded approvingly, but there had been something dark and glittering in his icy eyes. “She’ll need to be able to defend herself. Good idea, Warrior Wolf.”So that was how I’d ended up like this: surrounded by grunting warriors, arm sagging, exhausted from trying – and failing – to block punch after punch. Priestley swore he was going easy on me; I swore he wasn’t. I spat blood and shook my head.“Sorry.” His face twisted. “I’m not used to fighting someone that isn’t a Warrior Wolf. Maybe we should try in our shifted forms? You might have more of a chance that way.” His sombre expression tugged up into a grin. “No offence.”I rolled my eyes at him. “None taken.” The joy died
Alpha Enzo 098 | THESE AREN'T MY HANDS
Enzo’s POVOur relationship, no matter what else it was, was certainly begrudging. “What do I tell my Beta and Gamma?” I muttered, following Bennett to something called a Mega Bus. My gaze kept shifting around, though it wasn’t to take in the sights and scenery of Cardiff. I trusted him less today than I did yesterday – because he’d got me so drunk I hadn’t been able to walk straight. He’d paid for us to spend the night in a nicer hotel, which had irked me more than if we’d got back to my grotty one because I hadn’t been sober enough to take any notice of it.Had he got me drunk on purpose? Had he known exactly what to say and do to get me to cave? I hated not knowing which elements of my life were being nudged into the right direction for his means.“You have the perfect reason to delay your return,” he said. My head throbbed. How many long island iced teas had I had last night? “I do?”Bennett sighed. “Are you a particularly slow specimen, or is this simply what it’s like for tho
Alpha Enzo 099 | BACK TO MY ROOTS, NOT YOURS
Scarlett’s POVThe feeling of the tree dissolved, like I was pressing my hand through tissue paper and piercing through it – but that was the least of my worries. Wind whipped around me, pulled at me, dragged at my hair and clothes. I cried out, but the wind stole the screams from my throat. Everything was pulling and sucking at me, tugging me in so many different directions I didn’t know which way was up and which way was down. The sky turned green and the grass turned blue. I spiralled – literally – through the air, and then, at last, I crashed into the ground.“Fuck.” I hissed through my teeth and dragged myself to my feet. A playful bit of wind brushed over my cheeks and, despite myself, I smiled. For the first time ever, my powers didn’t feel like some intangible monster waiting to step out of the dark and snap me in half.I couldn’t remember traveling by portal before, but I was pretty damn sure it hadn’t been anything like that. The so-called Portal Magician that had ironed ou
Alpha Enzo 100 | WHO ARE WE?
Enzo’s POV“You knew this would happen!” I roared – or, at least, I tried to. What would once have been a devastatingly powerful shout came out as a girlish squeal. “You saw this coming, and yet you didn’t warn me!”Bennett chuckled. “Yes, of course I did.”“You expect me to trust you after you’ve turned me into – into a woman!” I yelled.“Keep it down. We’re on a covert mission, remember?”I stormed over to him – and felt breasts, my breasts, jiggling with every step. It really undercut my rage. My hand, which had raised ready to grab Bennett by the front of his shirt, fell back down limply to my side. I couldn’t do anything with these soft, feminine hands anyway. Everything felt wrong. Really, really wrong. My legs were shorter and my feet smaller. Even walking wasn’t the same as it had been a minute ago.“I know,” I hissed instead, jerking at the sound of my own voice. “You knew I’d react like this, so why you thought–”“I hate to interrupt,” said Bennett, sounding for all the worl
Alpha Enzo 101 | THIS
Scarlett’s POVThe heart-pounding, head-rushing feeling didn’t recede, but my certainty that my mate was somewhere in the shadows did. “It’s nothing,” Priestley murmured, a tentative smile tugging at his soft lips. Soft? Why had I thought that? My heart beat faster as I met his gaze.“I don’t know…” Why did I feel this way if my mate wasn’t nearby? I recognised this feeling; Hell, I remembered it, and I didn’t remember much. I cleared my throat. “What were you going to tell me?”His throat bobbed. Why did he look so nervous? What was Alpha Ryker going to do to him if he told me? It had to be serious. It had to be big.“This,” he said gently. Then he bowed his head down to mine and his lips met mine in a sweet kiss. My heart leapt and swelled, the force of it verging on painful. “Priestley,” I gasped, and the feel of our mouths moving together sent shivers through me. He deepened the kiss, his hands tangling in my hair and tugging gently. I arched up to meet him, the mate bond drivin
Alpha Enzo 102 | IS THIS A TRANSPORTER OR TRANSFORMER?
Enzo’s POVBefore Priestley could follow Scarlett down into the hollow, I grabbed him back. “No you don’t,” I hissed. His face paled. He was sweet looking, really; he was no match for me in my normal body, but I could see why Scarlett had taken a shine to him. He was all wide-eyed innocence and easy, charming smiles. My heart panged at the thought of him smiling at her, of her falling for those puppy dog eyes. I ground my teeth together.“Please don’t hurt me,” he whimpered, cowering away from my hands – which, to be fair to him, were balled into fists. “I swear I thought she was my mate. I never would’ve kissed her if I’d known she was taken!”“You did know!” I roared. “Everyone in the Four Realms knows that Scarlett is my mate.”“But after what she said, I thought maybe you’d tricked her.” His throat bobbed helplessly. “You have to believe me. Please,” he begged.“That’s where they went!” The shout echoed through the grove. “They can’t have got far.”“Quick,” I whispered, grabbing
Alpha Enzo 103 | WE SHOULD START A CIRCUS
Scarlett’s POVMy brain felt too full to fit in my head. My thoughts bounced against my skull with every bounding step I took. Bennett grabbed my arm and pulled me along.“We can’t lose you to them!” he shouted. “Not again!”I pushed my body as hard as I could. My thighs and calves burned; my arms propelled at my sides, swooping through the air and sending me surging forwards. The training I’d done with Alpha Ryker’s wolves had made me fitter and right now I was bloody glad I’d tried so hard at every session.“What about the others?” I tried to twist back to see them. Viola – who really was Alpha Enzo, who really was my real mate – was in a physical jumble with Priestley. They were lumbering along together as fast as they could, but they were no match for the giant chasing us.With every galumphing step the giant gained on them.“Bennett,” I gasped, panting hard, “we have to do something!”“No, Scarlett,” he said, “you have to do something.” My eyes went to the manacles encircling my
