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
Alpha Enzo 104 | BEHIND YOUR EYES
Enzo’s POVI stared bitterly at Priestley. He was snuggled up with my mate, and she looked pretty damned content to be there. Her head rested on his shoulder; her fingers were tangled with his, their joined hands slumped in his lap.But… like it or not, I wanted to see her happy. If Priestley was who she chose, then I would try to bear that choice with honour and dignity. I’d tried already today by going to fetch him for her. I regretted it now, though, seeing the ease with which they’d slotted together. There was always something between us. Even at the very start, she’d been so afraid. That timid Scarlett was no more, but this one had been fed so many lies about me – not helped by my violent temper – that she didn’t know if she could trust me or not. I sighed.“They end up married, you know.”I turned my head towards Bennett slowly. “Ha, ha.”“No, really. Don’t you just think they’re the perfect couple?”“Not really, no.” I picked a sliver of dirt out from under my fingernail. “Me
Alpha Enzo 105 | SUN TO MY MOON
Scarlett’s POVIt was the only thing I could think to do, the only made sense amidst the fog of confusion that had swirled around me for weeks on end. Getting away from Alpha Ryker had only served to add to that confusion and, once the dust of the day’s escapades were starting to settle, I realised what the outlier was.Weirdly, it wasn’t Bennett.Weirdly, it wasn’t the fact I’d blindly trusted him and followed this rag-tag bunch out of Desert Oak, my supposed home. Weirdly, it wasn’t my elemental power or the too-cold manacles I once again wore.It wasn’t Priestley’s admission of romantic feelings or the spliced werewolves I’d seen or even the damned giant that had chased us.It was Alpha Enzo. He was what didn’t make sense to me. And a mate should always make sense, shouldn’t they? He was the supposed other half of my soul, the other side to my coin, the light to my dark; he was supposed to be every beautiful ever said about two people in love, and therein lay the problem.We weren
Alpha Enzo 106 | MAGIC ISN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE
Enzo’s POVI barely slept that night, too worried about Scarlett to let sleep claim me. I watched her through slitted eyes, my gaze shifting from her to the window to the door and back again, over and over and over. We were too many stories up to worry about someone coming through the window, but still I did.I wouldn’t lose her again. I couldn't.Wishing I was in bed with her, holding her to my chest, keeping her safe, I shuffled closer to the edge of my bed and reached my hand across the space stretching between us.She’d really wanted to sever the mate bond. I couldn’t quite believe it. I didn’t think she’d known which way to turn, lost and confused, and that was entirely my fault. She never would’ve gone to Ryker if only I’d been honest with her…I blinked back tears and rolled onto my back. There was no point worrying about it now. She was here, she was safe, and I would never let her go again. Not unless she wanted to.I sighed. Sliding out of the covers, I padded, barefoot, ove
