Alpha Kade In the Kitchen
Emilia’s POVThe walk back to the pack house was much different than walking to the pack hospital. Marcus seems more upbeat. As we are walking, he points out the different businesses and the shops, while making sure to tell me who works where and their significance to the pack.“As an Omega in the pack, you will be making your own living. The Omegas each receive a paycheck and they are pleased to do what they want with it. Your pay is based on what area you are in. You are going to be working in the kitchen and filling in as a housekeeper when it is needed. Each Omega has a schedule, so you will not be working seven days a week, but you can always choose to pick up extra shifts if you want.”I stare at him in shock. “What do you mean we get a paycheck? Do you mean I will get my own money? Why would you pay me? Aren’t I nothing but the pack’s slave?” I ask him in bewilderment. That’s unheard of. Omegas are considered the pack’s slaves. Their reward for the work they do is being able to
Alpha Kade Intrusions
Emilia’s POV I don’t even know why I’m crying. Once the tears started, I couldn’t stop them. So far, being in the White River pack has been ten times better than the last eleven years of my life when I was in the Black Claw pack. Yet, I am not expecting it to last. I’m terrified I am going to fall into the same pattern I was in while at the Black Claw pack. Pain and sorrow have been my life for eleven years. Each night I had nightmares resulting in me waking up in a panic—usually covered in a cold sweat with tears streaming down my face.My dreams consist of the day my parents died, and my life completely shifted. Gamma Garrett—the bounty hunter—has haunted my dreams for years and now we are in the same pack. I can’t let that go. Maybe I got it all wrong though… Gamma Garrett’s eyes aren’t as cold and heartless as the bounty hunter’s eyes were that night. He looks just like him… Looking at the Gamma, he looks to be around my age, maybe slightly older, but still not old enough to b
Alpha Kade In the Kitchen
Emilia’s POV“I’m sorry,” I stammer as I back away from the door. “I got lost; it won’t happen again, Alpha.” My voice is quiet as I move away from the door. The door closes and I hear Marcus say something angrily to Alpha Kade.I turn to leave, hoping I can find the kitchen if I go the opposite way. I hear the footsteps catching up to me as I get back to my room. A hand gently grabs my arm and pulls me to a stop. I turn and come face-to-face with Beta Marcus. “I’m sorry, Beta. I didn’t mean to interrupt anything between you and Alpha Kade.” I keep my voice quiet and calm, hoping he doesn’t realize how much the look in the Alpha’s eyes bothered me. Marcus gives me a wide smile and chuckles. “No need to be sorry, Emilia. You interrupting actually caused me to win the little sparring match with the Alpha. It takes a lot for me to win with him, but you distracted him enough I was able to knock him to the ground. No early morning training for me for the next month! I just have to focus
Alpha Kade Learning the Rules
Emilia's POVWe leave the kitchen, each of us carrying a steaming container of food. Once we enter the dining hall, Sally starts directing everyone where to lay each dish. Within minutes of the last dish being placed on the table, warriors start filing into the dining hall, each of them makes a beeline towards the spread we have laid out. "Ms. Sally!" one of them called out, "This is delicious! Y'all really outdid yourself today!" Sally just shakes her head, a small laugh escaping her. "Ryker, you say this every morning. It doesn't give you any extra brownie points or dessert." His face drops for a second because he shoots her a smirk. "I just gotta make sure you and the rest of the staff know. Is there really something wrong with that?" She laughs and rolls her eyes. "Eat your food, Mr. Ryker. My workers know they do a good job." He turns away from her, his face still with a smile as he eats his food. "Alright everyone, good work. Go ahead and get yourself a plate. I expect yo
Alpha Kade Surprises
Alpha Kade’s POV“You didn’t tell me you were going to be going to that pack.” “And I didn’t need to. It wasn’t necessary for you to know I had to go there. It’s part of the plan, dad. If you want to bring them down, we need someone there on the inside to report to us. If I send a few of my warriors, then I will have men there I trust.”Christian Marks stares at me from his seat across from me. I can hear the lecture coming already. I knew it was a risk to go there, but the pack is hiding something. Did I really want to sign a damn treaty with the goddamn bastard who nearly destroyed my family? Hell no I didn’t, but I had to. My dad rolls his eyes and lets out a sigh. "I hope you know what you're doing with this, Kade." He drops off talking and we sit in silence while I wait for him to continue. I know he has more to say, especially with the reason we are waiting here. I hear movement from down the hall, and I get ready to open the door when his voice stops me. "Kade, what about th
Alpha Kade His Real Side
Emilia’s POV"Emilia has no relation to me, but she does have family inside this pack, Kade,” Mr. Marks tells Alpha Kade. I can hear the truth ringing in his words at the statement, which leaves me wondering what family I could possibly have in the pack, minus my mom’s apparent brother.“There’s no guarantee they are related,” Alpha Kade growls, turning his sharp eyes on me. “I refuse to fucking believe it, not until I have DNA proof in front of me. That fucking prick Jackson knows exactly how to get under your skin, dad. What if Jackson always intended for me to take her? What if he wanted her to come here, so he could get information on our pack? I wouldn’t dream of putting it past the asshole to do something like that! You said it yourself, you think I am gullible for going there! And before you even saw her, you questioned why I brought one of their fucking Omegas with us!”“Kade,” Marcus growls. “You and I both fucking know she has nothing to do with Alpha Jackson. That asshole a
Alpha Kade Promises
Beta Marcus POV I can’t stop the anger from coursing through me at the scene we walked into. I told Christian I didn’t like leaving them alone. I know how Kade has been since Leila died and his anger…it isn’t something I would willingly fuck with. And yet…here we are. Christian didn’t think he would really hurt her, but he did. The moment I heard the slap, we both rushed into the room. And shockingly, she was still standing. I could tell her hurt her, but she was doing everything in her power to stop herself from showing how much he hurt her. I wait until we are clear from the Alpha’s office before I start talking to her to make sure she’s okay. “Emilia,” I say softly. “I am sorry about the Alpha. He has a lot going on and is under a lot of pressure.” She turns to face me, and I note the sadness on her face. “It’s fine,” she says quietly. “No need to apologize for him or stick up for him. I am used to this kind of behavior from Alphas and other ranked members. He doesn’t be
Alpha Kade Officially a Member
Emilia's POV "Do you want to join the pack?" he asks me softly. "I know you were supposed to become a member of the pack when you went to see Alpha Kade before everything went sideways. I can do it for you, but it won't be as strong as it would be if it was done by the Alpha. The choice is yours. I won't force it on you." I stay silent as I stare in his eyes, trying to find any hint of deceit. A giant part of me wants to tell him to fuck off, I don't need to join his pack. Then, there is the smaller, more reasonable part of me that reminds myself I need allies in this pack. Not only that, but everything will also be easier if I can mind link someone...anyone in the pack, especially in an emergency. "Yes," I murmur, my voice barely reaching above a whisper. "Won't Alpha Kade be mad at you?" I ask him. "Why are you so willing to go against your Alpha for me?" And now it's his turn to be silent while he contemplates his answer before responding to me. "You don't need to worry about A

Alpha Kade The Alpha's Dilemma
Kade’s POVI watch as she leaves my office. She didn’t look back at me and didn’t say a word. I know my words hurt her and she’s grieving the family she lost. She had these hopes her brother and sister would still be alive.Never in a million years did she expect for her sister to be dead, leaving behind two babies in the process. A weird pang hits my chest as I think about the pain, I knowingly caused her. I see the anger brewing in Marcus’ eyes as he stews about what I did to her. I can hear Ghost pacing anxiously in the back of my mind. His concern and thoughts going straight to the tiny little Omega. A small sigh escapes me as I let my mind wonder back to last night. My anger at seeing her with Armani. My anger was irrational—fuck, I know that. And as much as I want to blame it all on Ghost, I know that isn’t fully truly either. Ghost was pissed that she would dance with someone else knowing who her mate is, but I know I was angry too and even a tad bit jealous. I bet she never
Alpha Kade A Family Reunion of Sorts
Emilia’s POV“Emilia?” Julio whispers, a slight crack to his voice. I just nod my head, not quite trusting my voice right now. Julio reaches for me, grabbing my hand, and yanking me into his hard chest. His arms automatically wrap around me, holding me tightly, and burying his face in my hair. “I never thought I would see you again. Ramira and I looked for you forever, neither of us were willing to give up hope. As the years went on, we were told the chances of your survival were slim to none, but we were ready to let go quite yet. I prayed with every fiber of my being to Selene that you would return one day, and fuck I am so glad Alpha Kade found you.” He pulls away from, holding me at arm’s length. “You look so much like mom, with just a sprinkling of dad in you.” Tears well in my eyes and I nearly break as I stare in his eyes. “So as much as I love standing here watching you two, I think I’m gonna go inside to see my babies,” Armani states, stepping around me, breaking my eye con
Alpha Kade Letting Truths Slip
Emilia’s POVMy heart pounds in my chest at his offer. I have thought about this day for years. For eleven years I have wanted nothing more than to reunite with my family, and now that the offer is staring me in the face, I am terrified. What if he wants nothing to do with me? I mean I have nothing to offer my family, at least what remains of it, unless they want someone filled with enough trauma and pain to last a damn lifetime. Armani is staring at me, waiting for me to give him an answer. Instead of doing what I desperately want and running to hide in my room, away from my fears, I nod. “I think I will like that a lot,” I tell him quietly.“Do you think he will want to see me? He won’t mind if you bring a practical stranger with you? It’s been eleven years; I’m not the same person I used to be. And I know he isn’t the same as he used to be.” A deep chuckle escapes him. “Emilia, I think you are overthinking this. You brother nor your sister never stopped thinking about you. For ye
Alpha Kade Author's Note
Dear readers, I am so sorry for my long absence. I had been having a crap ton of health issues that made it nearly impossible for me to update. While I'm still having a plethora of problems, I'm finally back and ready to continue Kade and Emilia's story. I plan to update at least every other day as I slowly get back into the habit of writing again. (And reviewing all of my notes to remember everything there is to know about Emilia, Kade, and the rest of the family!) If you stuck around waiting for an update, thank you!
Alpha Kade Armani's Tale
Emilia’s POVI reach out and grab Armani’s hand and give it a gentle squeeze. “Were you close to her?” I ask softly, trying to remain comforting. I think about the pain in his voice as he talks about Ramira. You don’t have that kinda pain if you were somewhat close to each other—more than just casual acquaintances. He shrugs, not quite meeting my eyes as he responds. “You can say that.” A small smile lights up his face as he continues talking. “Ramira and I…we were more than just friends. She was my lover before she died. She was one of the kindest and sweetest souls I had ever met, and we dated in high school. Right before graduation, we decided we would give it six months and if neither of us had found our mates, then we would take the plunge and let whatever happens, happens.” His voice trails off and his eyes turn glassy as he stares off into space, his mind taking him to another world. “When she learned she was pregnant, we were both ecstatic—it seemed like nothing could ever go
Alpha Kade Armani Fletcher
Emilia’s POV I stand in the office listening to Alpha Kade tell me about the fate of my family and I’m numb. I can’t feel anything. I don’t want to feel anything. Feeling…well that will be worst than just blocking everything out. And that’s what I want to do. I want to block it out and forget that I pushed the Alpha to tell me. I want to forget he told me about my brother and sister’s fate. My sister had a baby…not just one, but two. Two beings who were part of her. Who is the baby daddy? Why doesn’t he want his kids? Why are they in my brother’s care? Does this mean Ramira had found her mate early on? My head spins as all the questions race through me. Questions I don't have the answer to. I can't do this. I can't do it right now. Without saying a word, I spin on my heels and walk out of the room, not bothering to talk to either man in the room. If they tried to stop me, I wouldn't know. My mind keeps wandering to the last time I saw my brother and sister. They day my pare
Alpha Kade Some Truths
Alpha Kade’s POV For the first time since meeting her, anger courses through me. Not at the lack of respect, because there is no respect, but at everything this girl has been through. She is barely a legal adult. And she has seen some of the true horrors of the world we live in. I want to take revenge on those that hurt her, harm her. No matter how i feel about her or the lack of the bond flowing through is now, no one in their right mind deserves to be raped or even starved. I can feel Marcus’s disappointment behind me. He hates how i continuously push her when none of us truly know what she’s been through. And I get it now. I really do… I shouldn’t have pushed her. I reach my hand out with the intention of touching her arm, wanting to offer some type of comfort. The tears are killing me. I hate crying. Even more so when it’s a woman and I know I caused the pain. I may not have been the one to rape or beat her, but I caused her to relive the pain by pushing her to the point of
Alpha Kade Confronting the Alpha
Emilia's POV Marcus raises his voice again. I'm not even in the same room as him and Alpha Kade, but I can feel his anger from here. All of this over me... I don't want to come between friends, not in the slightest. I just want to be treated fairly and equally by everyone, including the hard headed Alpha. Yet, I know he will never treat me as a person. Simply because I am his second chance mate. He views me as the enemy. "—lying to yourself, Kade. You admitted it yourself. She intrigued you. There was something about her that kept your attention. You were curious about the girl. And now you suddenly learn about her past and want nothing to do with her? You know who her parents are! At the very least, you can fucking tell her everything instead of keeping her in the dark! Especially everything that happened to her brother and sister! At the very least, you can tell her where her parents are buried!" Marcus yells at him. My brother and sister are alive? Alpha Kade knows who they
Alpha Kade Chapter 43 Headaches and Hangovers
Alpha Kade's POV I wake up with an intense migraine. I slowly sit up from my position on the ground and look around me. I must have fallen asleep at the cemetery talking to Leila. I look around me and my eyes catch on the guy leaning against the truck on the path through the cemetery. "Nice of you to finally join the land of the living," Garrett growls at me. "I was waiting to see if I needed to give you a nice shower with some ice cold water to wake your sorry ass." I scrub my hands down my face, silently begging for this headache to freaking go away. "What the hell are you doing here?" I ask him. "Looking for you," he responds. "You didn't come back to the pack house. When you didn't come to training this morning, Marcus and I were concerned about your sorry ass. I volunteered to come and look for you." "Oh, so Marcus is considering talking to me again?" Garrett rolls his eyes before he responds. "He's contemplating it. And you know regardless of how stupid and downri
