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
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 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 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 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 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
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,
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
BonnieI'd be lying if I said that hearing those words out of Lottie's mouth didn't break my heart and I can both sense and feel that Nick feels the same. There are so many things that I want to say to her right now, but I hold back both wanting and feeling that Nick should take the lead here.He takes a deep breath while keeping his eyes locked with hers. "If that's the truth, then yes, that's what I want to hear. We need to get to the bottom of whatever is going on, no matter how hard it may be for you to say or for us to hear." Nick tries to remain calm, but I can feel his emotions, and they are all over the place. "So, is that the truth?"She nods her head as she wipes more tears away from her eyes. "Why, sweetheart? Why are you feeling jealous?" She stares at Nick, but I can see it in her eyes. She is struggling to word what she wants to say, but I'm pretty sure that I have it figured out, so I just go with it and blurt it out. "Lottie, am I right in thinking that you're jealous
BonnieI hate the feeling that everyone is currently against Lottie, or having any kind of bad thoughts against her, and while I know it's stupid given the situation, I just can't help it. There is already a protective streak inside me when it comes to Lottie and, regardless of the situation, it's hard to switch off."Lottie, would you like to tell your grandparents and uncles what you have done, or even better why?" Nick asks her, although it's more of a command than a question. Lottie's face slightly pales while everyone in the room just looks confused, and I get it.While Lottie is a typical 16-year-old girl with hair, makeup and talks about finding mates being a part of her daily life, from what I've been told and come to learn myself since I've been here, it doesn't appear that Lottie has caused a lot of trouble in her life. She seems to be a pretty well-behaved girl, so I can only imagine that everyone is a bit confused right now.I grab my mate's attention and lean into him, ke
Alpha Nicholas"I'm sorry, sweetheart. Can you say that again?" My mate hiccups as she tries to calm herself down and control her breathing. "Lottie, She said that you don't want any more children. She said that you have never wanted any other children aside from her." What the fuck is my daughter playing at?While I know that my daughter isn't innocent because let's be honest, no children are, I still can't imagine her ever being mean to Bonnie, especially over a baby, and her baby brother or sister at that. Growing up, she had always wanted a sibling, so why would she react like this now? Whatever her reason, I'm fucking angry and my pregnant mate is completely heartbroken, and I want this shit sorted out right now!"Where is she?" I growl. I'm trying to keep my anger under control, but it's so fucking hard right now. "I don't want this to... I..." Before she can finish her sentence she breaks down crying once more, and I swear that every single tear that she shreds feels like it te
Bonnie After not feeling well for a few days, I was starting to get a little worried. Werewolves don't generally get ill, but here I was constantly tired. I was sick in the mornings and my appetite was all over the place and yet, I still didn't put the pieces together, but Nick's mom did. Earlier today, while the guys were down in the cells, she came to see me. Nick had gone to her worried about me and, because so far I had refused to see a doctor, he had asked her to come and see me, hoping that maybe he could figure out what was wrong with me.Of course, within minutes of me telling her what was wrong, she had worked it out all while a massive smile appeared on her face. The moment she told me that she was certain that I was pregnant, I wanted to pass out. Of course, looking back now, I realize that the symptoms were all there screaming in my face, but for some reason, I had missed them all.I generally hadn't even thought about the possibility that I could be pregnant, which was s
Alpha NicholasThe moment I step on to the Alpha floor, I feel my body instantly start to relax and, after a quick chat with my parents, my dad ushers her, the girls and the guards out of my lounge and off my floor, clearly sensing my need for alone time with my mate, which I appreciate. Before he left, he insisted on having the guards stationed at the bottom of the stairs that lead to my floor, which I have no problem with. They are close enough for our protection, more importantly, the protection of my mate, but also far enough away not to impose on any of my alone time with my mate. The stairs that they are now guarding are the only way to gain access to my floor, so I can finally allow my mind to settle and forget about all the shit that's going on, even if it's only for a few hours.When I first stepped on to our floor, I could faintly smell Bonnie's scent, but the moment I entered our bedroom it hit me in the face like a hammer, and I'm instantly in need of her. I look down at t
Alpha Nicholas"So I get why you changed your mind about talking to anyone, but why were you hiding in the bushes when they all ran? Surely you would have known that you would have been caught?" Shane asks Alberto as I sit back and let him take the reins. "That's what I was hoping for," he grunts."What? Why?" Robbie asks, taking the words right out of my mouth. "I figured that while I couldn't come to you off my own back if you caught me while we were trying to hide and escape, then it was out of my control." I'll give it to him, it wasn't the smartest move in the world but not the worst either."So you hoped that we would find you and bring you here so that you could tell us what was going on? Maybe hoped that we would help you?" Shane asks. Alberto nods, agreeing while shifting himself in his seat, looking uncountable. "There's no way that you didn't think that there was a chance that we would kill you for the betrayal before you could even tell us anything. What if our men had kil
Warrior Robbie “You fucking what!” I bellow unable to rein in my anger. I don’t mean to blurt the words out, but Nick gave me the reins of control here, so I’m just going to go with it.“They have my mate.” Alberto huffs out as his body appears to relax. Is he relieved that he told us? My reaction to his words is to call bullshit but something inside of me holds me back. I think Nick was right to want to listen to him before acting because, while I’m not sure if he’s 100% telling me the truth, I’m also not sure that he isn’t.There’s something in his voice and a look in his eyes that leads me to believe that he could be telling me the truth, but if he is, then how the fuck have they managed to get their hands on her? How did any of this happen?“I don’t understand… you’d better start explaining this, Alberto. And by explain I mean from beginning to end and not missing out on anything. I want every single detail." Nick grunts. I’m pretty sure we’re on the same wavelength here and afte
Alpha NicholasSomehow, I managed to remain calm while I carried my mate up to our floor and into our bedroom, but the moment that I laid her down and took in how innocent she always looks when she is sleeping, I felt the anger come back full force causing my body to shake with the anger simmering through my veins.That prick Talon thinking that he could come on to my pack lands and into my pack house and take away a young girl who is currently under my protection is bad enough, but those mother fuckers who were supposed to be loyal to me, loyal to everyone here betraying us is soul-destroying.Worst of all, instead of doing their job and protecting the people of this pack, they went and betrayed us. They hurt people that they have worked alongside for years. People that they have stood side by side with during good and bad times. People who would have laid their lives down for them, no questions asked. They have taken away a dad from his pups and fuck, just thinking about it makes me
Alpha NicholasWhen in the ever-loving fuck did life become such a shit show? It feels like one minute everything was as calm as can be and the next bang... my entire world went tumbling inside out and upside down. In the space of two months, my brothers and I have gone from having no mates to all of us finding our mates, and every single mate has come along with a bang of their own.Now, don't mistake my complaining for any kind of resentment towards any of the women because it isn't like that. The incidents that have happened since they arrived here haven't been their fault and I know that my brothers and I have all been more than happy to help like we us. None of us regret a single one of the women arriving here and what we've had to do to keep them safe.Hell, after having Lottie, Bonnie is the best thing to ever happen to me but fuck, we can't catch a break. It's one thing after another and it's fucking draining. My mate has been here for almost six weeks and I still have not had
