Alpha Nicholas"Nicky! Nicky. Where are you?" I jump as my brother's voice booms in my pounding head. I sit up and instantly wince at the stiffness in my neck. Where the hell am I? I look around quickly remembering sitting in my office after my mate left and the two empty whiskey bottles explain why my head feels like it's been used as a punching bag. "Jeusu fuck!" I grunt as I stretch and stand up before heading to the bathroom attached to my office. I need a piss and a shower. Luckily for me, I keep spare clothes in there too for emergencies."Nick. Fucking answer!" Shit, I forgot that Will was linking me. "What do you want?" He laughs making my head rattle and I just wanna punch him. "Oh, I see someone is extra grumpy today. Where the fuck are you? I've been banging on your door for ages." Great! "I'm in my office, ended up falling asleep in here.""Well, get the fuck up here, it's almost 9." Fuck I don't think I've ever slept that late before. He must be wrong. I walk over to my ph
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
BonnieAfter I left the shed and left my entire family behind to die Will took me to the lounge room in the pack house where Lily, Sophie, Rosie, and Lottie were all sitting around and talking. There are several guards outside of the room and I understand why. These men are protective of their mates and they needed to know that their mates would be safe while they were busy with their 'guests'. As soon as Will knew that I was ok he said his goodbyes and headed back to the shed. I know that he was eager to get back to those assholes and not miss anything so I made sure not to keep him any longer than necessary.For a little while, I just sat there thinking over everything. I saw my entire family tied up and didn't feel anything. I knew that they were going to die painfully and I didn't feel anything. I saw my entire family for the last time and I didn't feel anything, not any of the emotions that I should have anyway. No anger, no sadness, nothing.If I had to pick a word to describe h
Alpha NicholasIf her words hurt Lily then she's doing a great job at hiding it. However, Shane is struggling to hold everything in. "Say what you want blue, I honestly don't give a fuck! You're going to pay for your sins and I'm more than happy to help you along.""She's boring me now. End her baby girl and we'll head out for dinner," Shane shouts encouraging Lily while also making her laugh. She gives him a nod before moving and only stopping once she's right in front of Blue. "Your problem, Blue, is you tend to underestimate people. You think that I won't end you but you're so fucking wrong. While I may not be as evil as you and may not have it in me to torture you as you deserve, don't think for one second that I don't have it in me to end you. Now, say goodbye because you are done!""Sure, Lily. Sure." Blue rolls her eyes but they soon widen with shock when Lily grips her head in a firm hold before twisting it hard and snapping her neck. Her head rolls to the side, the life in he
Alpha NicholasRowan's head is covered in a layer of sweat and his breathing is erratic and yet, all I've done so far is punch him just once. If he has that amount of fear from just one punch then Goddess help him when I start on him. "Would you like to tell me why you've always been such a prick to my mate?"He looks at his dad before turning back to me seeming confused, not that I have a clue why. "Your mate? Are you seriously going to accept her? Are you kidding me? Why would you do that? You're an Alpha and you deserve so much better than that poor excuse of a mutt!"Wrong fucking thing to say. I pull my arm back and land another hard hit to his stomach only this time I don't stop. I keep punching him time and time again raining blow after blow to his stomach, ribs, chest, arms and face. My vision is a wall of anger and I can't see past it. His grunts get louder as my hits get harder. My final hit breaking his nose and causing blood to splatter everywhere. Good I hope it fucking h
Alpha NicholasWords can't describe how proud of my daughter I am. She stood tall and proud while she spoke to her mom and while I imagine that she had wanted some answers to those questions that have haunted her for a long time, deep down she also knew that there was a very big chance that she wouldn't get them and when she didn't she acted like the strong, confident girl that I know she is and I couldn't have been any more proud of her. She showed more courage than I ever had at her age and the way that she and Bonnie had each other's backs made me want to howl with pride.They barely know each other and yet they were willing to stand up for each other. That means more to me than they could ever know. I know that Bonnie is only two years older than Lottie but still, I see a great future to come for those two be it a relationship based on friendship or more. I don't mind which direction they decide to take, as long as they are happy and get along, I'm good with whatever they want.Wi
BonnieWatching Lottie as she steps closer to her mom is somewhat heartbreaking. What must she be feeling right now? What must she be thinking? What do you say to the one person who should have always been there for you? She's never known the love of a mom and it's heartbreaking and while I know how she feels in that department there's still a huge difference in our situations.Her mom chose to leave her, but my mom didn't. I've heard more than once about how much of a good mom my mom was, and about how excited she was to have me and Blue. She wouldn't have walked away from us ever but Lola chose to walk away from Lottie and I am pretty sure that she doesn't regret a thing about it. I can't imagine the pain that she feels. I wouldn't want to."Why?" She asks Lola. Her voice sounds so raw and pained that I feel a tug in my heart. Nick gently pulls on my hand and leads me across the room until we are facing both Lottie and Lola. "Why what?" Lola asks acting dull. Every single person in
Alpha Nicholas We make quick work of getting all our guests comfortably tied to chairs in the old tin shed that's at the back of our pack lands. It's one we use when it's time to quietly end a motherfucker. Often those who need to die have a public death. And then there are those deaths that don't need to be made public or deaths that require special attention like when we want information from them first. That kind of death doesn't happen often but when they do, we have this place ready.Before this land was bought for the use of wolves, it once was a farm and the tin shed that we are currently in was used to slaughter the animals. It is cold, damp and dirty as fuck. It also still has chains and hocks hanging from the roof along with a large table thats covered in tools and weapons. Tools and weapons that have been here for a long time. Tools and weapons that can and have caused a lot of pain over the years. The Alpha who originally bought this land years ago decided to keep it and
Alpha NicholasThe walk to the cells feels like it takes forever. I want nothing more than to get down there and end every single one of those motherfuckers and I will be. There's no excuse for anything that any of them has done and I do not doubt that every single one of them will die at my hands, and possibly at the hands of some of my men. I already know that my brothers and Tony will want to have their moment and that's fine, but my mate's dad and sister... they die at my hands.They are disgusting and poor excuses for wolves and it stops today. They will be given a chance to tell us why they did what they did but that's more for my mate and the other girl's sake. I think some explaining will help them with the closure that they need to move on and if they don't want to talk freely then there are several of my men who will happily drag it out of them, but ultimately they are all going to die and I'm going to enjoy every single moment of it.We stop at the first cell that we come t
BonnieReturning to Nicky's room and seeing him look so lost was painful. Since the moment that I met him, he's always been confident in everything that he does or says, be it good or bad. When we got to his bedroom, however, he appeared far from confident. He looked lost and worried and I hated it. Hearing Rosie's story was heartbreaking and yet, I know that there's so much more to it that we don't even know yet. Hopefully, in time, she will feel comfortable talking to some of us about it, even if it's just Tony.The moment I watched him disappear in the bathroom Lexi was straight on my ass giving me ideas of how to try and help him. Of course, her first thought was sex but I will give it to her, the girl was right this time because it appeared to work. After Nicky took me in the shower and then on the bed we both passed out. It took all I had to strip down and step into that shower stark naked but Lexi kept encouraging me, telling me that Nicky loves my body and his reaction when I
TonyHearing my mate's story has left me sad, mad and just plain angry. Yes, both Nick and I were in one of those camps and experienced our own kind of horror but what the women go through... Fuck! We thought we knew what they went through but it's so much worse. My mate, my beautiful mate was forced to have two children before she was even 18 and then when she refused to join their group although I'd say it's more of a cult, they took away her children and tried to kill her.She told us about her two sons that she hadn't seen since they were both 2 days old. Her oldest son is only 11 months older than her youngest. The moment she healed from giving birth to her oldest son they got her pregnant again.She was seriously ill after the birth of her second son and the doctor told the leader that she wouldn't be able to give birth anymore so they offered her a place with them looking for other girls to kidnap and when she refused they went after her. The only reason she survived was becaus
