Alpha NicholasWe've been searching the woods for over 2 hours and I'm starting to lose hope when Storm suddenly starts growling and a scent hits my nose. It's faint but I'd know that scent anywhere, it's my mate. "I can smell her!" I shout causing Lily to almost fall over a fallen tree truck in her rush to reach me, luckily for her, Shane had his eyes on her and managed to stop her. "Where is she?" I try to focus on her scent but it's still too faint to figure that out. Storms kicking up a storm in my head snarling and growling with the need to find her while my chest continues to burn. Can wolves have heart attacks? because I think I may be having one."Her scent is faint but if I can smell her then she can't be too far away." My brothers and Lily start talking but I ignore them as I try and focus on the scent and where it is. "Storm can you feel where she is?" With him being a wolf his senses are even better than mine. "So now you want to be near her?" Here we fucking go. "Don't sta
Alpha NicholasI can feel Lexi pulling away from me. She wants to run and while I don't blame her for that, I still can't let her do it. I Can feel Bonnie slowly fading and it's driving me fucking crazy. If it comes down to it I will haul her ass back to the pack house and deal with her anger later as long as she gets taken care of I don't give a fuck, but I'd like her to come willingly. I don't deserve it but I just need her to trust me. Deciding to give her a little something I get down on my knees so she's standing over me and pretty much beg her to let me help her."Lexi. I know you have no reason to trust me, I get it, I really do. But I promise that nothing will happen to Bonnie. I just want to help. I've not been acting as I should, I know that. I've been a fucking fool! but I just want to help, that is all." She lets out a whine but doesn't give me any kind of answer. "Let me talk to her." Storm's voice booms in my head. He's so worked up that I can feel how tense he is. I agr
Alpha NicholasIt's been two days since I brought Bonnie to the doctor and she's still unconscious and I've not left her room. I shower in the ensuite bathroom attached to her room and my brothers, Lily, and my parents bring me anything I need along with endless amounts of food that I don't want. Since the moment the doc left us alone I've felt sick and I'm pretty sure that Storm is feeling the same, only I don't know for sure because he hasn't spoken to me since we got here. Of course, before he went on a silent strike he made sure I knew what he thought. He said that this is all my fault, that if I had accepted my mate the night we met then she wouldn't have been hurt and she wouldn't be here, and as much as I want to deny it I can't, he's right. This is all my fault and the idea of her being hurt because of me feels like a knife to the heart."Hey, Dad." Lottie's soft voice takes my attention away from where I've been standing at the window thinking over these last few girls. My br
Bonnie“Bonnie… Bonnie, you're awake, fuck you're awake!" He jumps out of his chair and quickly presses a button on the wall before standing right next to me. “How are you feeling? Does anything hurt? Why didn't you tell me what was going on with you? Why did you run?” He's throwing question after question at me and I don't have enough time to even think about an answer never mind do it. Jesus my head hurts.“Alpha, maybe we could give Bonnie a few minutes to wake up before we start with the questions?” A guy in a white coat says as he walks into the room and over to my bed. He's an older man with streaks of grey in his hair and crazy bright blue eyes and it doesn't take a genius to figure out that he was a looker when he was younger.“Yeah, sure, fine.” My mate grunts unhappy but I'm not sure if he's more pissed at being told what to do or the fact that he can't wait to interrogate me. Wait, what did he mean when he asked me why I didn't tell him what was going on with me? What does
Alpha NicholasShe threw me out of her room... She threw me out. She may not have done it physically but it was clear that she meant it and as much as I wanted to ignore her and just stay there, she deserves to be treated with some respect. Yes, I know I'm not exactly doing that when it comes to our whole mate bond situation but that's why I can at least try and give her the respect she deserves in other areas. I'm still not happy about being kicked out but I have to admit that seeing some of her feisty side come out was quite enjoyable."Hey, son. How is she doing?" My mom's voice echoes in the small hallway where I've been sitting on the world's most uncomfortable chair for the last 15 minutes. She may have kicked me out of her room but she didn't say I couldn't sit outside of it. "She woke up for a little while then asked me to leave so she could get some more sleep hence me sitting here like a lost sheep." My mom chuckles as she comes to sit beside me but instead pulls the chair a
Bonnie"Are you ready to talk now, Bonnie?” Nope, not at all, but here goes nothing I guess. "Yes." There is a lot I want to say, a lot I need to know, but I'm not going to go first. He hasn't been very kind to me so far and the least he can do is go first and maybe explain to me why he doesn't want me. "I know we have a lot to talk about, but first I just want to clear something up. You mentioned earlier about me having women in my life, and I was wondering what you meant?" "Just what I said. I know you have a woman, but again, as long as she makes you happy, then I'm happy for you." I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to say. Yes, the thought of him with someone else hurts like hell, but that's his choice, and I'm not going to try and force him into something he doesn't want, namely a relationship with me. He looks confused as he stares at me. "I don't know where you got that from, but I assure you, I don't have women in my life, not in the relationship sense anyway." "I saw you a
Bonnie “I don't understand.” He's just thrown a major curve ball at me and I have so many things I want to say but at the same time, I feel speechless. “I thought you… you didn't want me as your mate?” He runs his hand through his hair before letting out a long sigh. “It was never that I didn't want you as my mate. It was never personal to you, I just didn't want a mate full stop. Well, I wouldn't allow myself to. It's all so complicated." He lets out a huff of frustration seeming to match the frustration that I feel inside of me. "It's complicated how? I don't understand?" He has to explain this because there's no way I can figure it out alone. "Do you remember how I said that Lottie's arrival was not your usual story?" I nod. "Well, her arrival and my whole complicated mate situation is kind of an all-in-one thing." I understand what he's trying to say... I think. "I know you want to know the story and I will tell you but to tell you about that... Well, not many people know about
Alpha NicholasI'm livid! I'm so mother fucking Goddam angry I swear I could tear apart this entire room and not even blink an eye. Who the fuck treats anyone like that? Let alone their own blood family, let alone my mate! I just don't understand it. She's so beautiful inside and out, so kind-hearted it's sobering, and yet those worthless pieces of assholes think that it's okay to do that? Well, I can guarantee that it won't happen again. NO FUCKING WAY! Even if she doesn't want to be with me, then I will make sure she gets somewhere safe, hell, I'll hire her a bodyguard for the rest of her life if I need to, but no matter what they don't get to hurt her again."Are you ok, Nicky?" Her sweet voice brings me back to the present but she must see more on my face that I don't mean to show because she suddenly shrinks back from me and that one move alone is enough to bring me back to my senses. "No, Bonnie, Please don't do that. My voice is harsh but I try to keep my tone calm and as soft
Warrior RobbieI stand back and watch her climb up the ladder while my head feels like it's spinning. My mate is underage. A child. How the fuck is my mate a child? I'm fully aware that it happens but why me? Fuck, how old is she? Fuck, my whole world feels like it's been tipped upside down and Jonah is the quietest that he has ever been but for now, I have to push it aside. We have women to get out of here and then we need to make sure we get them and the children safely away from this hell hole.Once the last woman is out of here I do a final sweep to make sure we're all clear and quickly get outside eager to once again have eyes on my mate. Yes, it seems that she is underage and that just makes this a nightmare but it doesn't stop my instincts from wanting to keep an eye on her and make sure that she is safe, especially in the situation that we are in. "All clear?" Nick asks as I give the men the signal to close the door. "Yeah, everyone is out," I answer as my eyes wander to the c
Warrior Robbie"Robbie, how's it going that end?" Shane's voice slams into my head as I try to catch my breath after taking down another wolf. I'm not sure how long we've been fighting but it has been a hard fight that's for sure. While we have numbers on our side and have quite a few more fighters than them, most of them were hard fuckers and it took a lot to take them down.Unfortunately for them, we're well-trained. We have some of the best fighters that I have ever known and more than anything, we are relentless, and no matter how hard it is or how long it takes we will end every single one of these good-for-nothing disgusting sad excuses for wolves.Being a wolf I have had to face a few battles over my lifetime and I've been in more than my fair share of fights but never have I felt anger like I do today. Yes, we have cleared out more than one of these camps over the years but earlier today when Nick told us that there was another one of these camps and that Tony's boys was here,
Alpha NicholasI get to the opening of this hellhole and haul myself up to find around 20 of my men standing around the entire doorway protecting it while another 20 or so are waiting to help us move the women and children, and I'm instantly filled with pride. I doubt that most of the men even know why they are here, but it hasn't stopped them from coming here and being ready to guard and fight.It then hits me that I can't hear any fighting. The place is eerily quiet with just the hush of small voices talking, and it has me quickly scanning my surroundings. "They're all down, Alpha. Well, everyone except for the Alpha of the pack. We managed to keep him alive, and he's secure in the back of an SUV." Ryan says as he comes to stand beside me."Perfect!" I chime. Even though my instruction was to take everyone down, all of my men also knew that if the man/woman that was running this place could be captured rather than killed, then that was to be done. "I look forward to having a chat wit
Alpha NicholasHow the fuck have we found ourselves in this position? I swear the goddess must have a sick sense of humour at times. Between my pack members and the newest mates that have been found recently, we have had nothing but no-stop drama for the last goddess only knows how many months.Why can't we catch a break? Why does trouble have to keep knocking on our door? Don't get me wrong, I don't blame any of them for the trouble that has come with them, it's not their fault and most of the time it's been caused but sorry excuses for wolves but still... I need a break.I just want to go back to my pack, grab my mate and daughter and fuck off to my cabin in the middle of the woods and not step foot outside of it for at least a month, but I can't because im the Alpha, and the members of my pack are my responsibility and my family and I won't ever let any of them go through something alone, not unless they request it. Hell, who am I kidding, even if they said they wanted to deal with
Alpha Nicholas The sight before me is so surreal that for a moment I wonder if im seeing things. "Tony, get down here now. Everyone else stands guard. No one enters here without my permission!" I shout up to the others who are still above ground. The sounds of "Yes, Alpha" echo through the small opening while Tony practically jumps through the doorway missing most of the steps on the ladder on his way down."What's going on, Al-" He turns around to face me mid-sentence before looking at the sight that I am. "Please, please, tell me that I am seeing things? That this isn't real?" I plead as he takes another step forward until he's standing right next to me. "Loving fuck!" He growls before looking at me. "What the fuck is going on here?" I shake my head unable to find the right words because I feel the same.The underground tunnel that we are in is more of a box room. It's maybe 20 feet wide by 20 feet long and has several lights hanging from the ceiling which allows us to see the horr
Alpha Nicholas"TONY HAS CONFIRMED THAT THE BOYS ARE HERE. I REPEAT THE BOYS ARE IN THE CAMP. STAND BY FOR MY SAY SO TO GO!" I bellow through the mind link that I had opened with Robbie, Shane and Will while waiting to give the go-ahead. It is easier to have a link open with those guys so then they can inform their groups rather than me bellowing out here to everyone and causing us attention that we don’t want or need too soon."Ok, guys we're going in. Tony and I will lead. Everyone stay close, stay alert, and. stay safe. I'll see you on the other side of this madness. Now, let's go!" There are instant growls of approval as my men begin to follow us through the trees but they keep them quiet enough to allow us to remain undetected for now. I want the element of surprise on our side in the hope that we can get close to the boys before all hell breaks loose."Tony, lead the way," I whisper as we reach the tree line and the last bit of defence against the clearing in the middle of the w
Alpha Nicholas I had my phone call taken care of and was changed and I had eaten within 30 minutes of my brothers leaving my office. As far as I'm concerned the sooner we leave the better and if everyone else is ready before the time I set then we can get out of here even quicker. The moment I step outside with Bonnie at my side im instantly filled with pride. There must be over 300 members of my pack out here and ready to go."It's a good turnout," Shane says as he comes to stand beside me with Lilly on his arm. While I want as many members as possible to fight, I have also made it very clear that it's not mandatory and there won't be any hard feelings towards those who decide not to come. However, looking around at everyone who is here now, I know that pretty much every Warrior is here and ready to head out."I've spoken to Steven and Harry and told them to stay back. Their mates are days away from giving birth. They don't need to be out there risking themselves when their minds wi
Alpha NicholasThe air feels tense as we wait for Ryan to finally start talking and I swear that Rosie is about to bite her nails off and is going to make a run for it at any moment despite not having any information yet. Both she and Tony look ready to burst and I don't blame either of them."Ryan, you gotta start talking, please, man!" Tony pleads while Ryan nods and seems nervous and I get it. Since we started this search, this is the first time that we have had even a scrap of hope and if it turns out to be nothing then it will devastate both Rosie and Tony, and that will kill Ryan. Of course, none of us will blame Ryan but I know that he will blame himself."Our group headed out to the south side of Rosie's last known location but after a few hours of yet another useless search, we decided to expand our search even further. We walked for around an hour searching every inch of ground along the way with no luck. We had the largest search group out there as a few guards that had bee
BonnieThe moment Nick told me what had happened or better still, what had been said my heart instantly doubled its pace. There's a chance that we may have found those baby boys and I couldn't be any happier. Of course, I know that there's a chance that there has been a mistake made somewhere or even a chance that someone thinks they have spotted them and it'll turn out not to be them but still, any little scrap of hope that I can grab onto I will.Nick took off running for his office and I promised to follow right behind him. I know that hell needs a few minutes alone with his men before I can join them. Not that he would stop me going right on in with him but I don't want to impose. Besides, right now I have something just as important that I need to see first."Come sit with me, sweetheart." I guide Lottie over to the seat that I was sitting on with Rosie just a few minutes ago and take a deep breath. She may not think that I noticed the fact that she called me her stepmom but I di
