Alpha of the Dead Chapter 23
(Tiernan’s P.O.V) Are you sure it’s a good idea for us to be going to the hotel? Artemis may show up. That can’t be helped. As you said, Steele, we will have to tell her eventually. He nods his head before curling up in the back of my mind, though I can still feel his nerves and anxiety. The meeting wraps up, hopes are at an all-time low right now with the information that Preston brought back from Eferhile. “Do you still want to go on our date tonight? I know you may not be feeling up to it after the news we got today.” I ask, pulling Si towards me. “We can go on our date; nothing is going to change what was discussed tonight and stewing in it isn’t going to help my mood.” She states. “Okay, kitten. I’m going to pack my overnight bag before we head out.” She nods her head stiffly, obviously annoyed that I’m inserting myself into her life like this, but I don’t really care. I wasn’t going to be leaving her side any time soon, not until my mark was on her

(Siobhan’s P.O.V) Tiernan was starting to piss me off, I really wish that I hadn’t gone into heat as I had, or I wouldn’t have mated with him, and I would have been able to reject him like I wanted to. But no, I mated with him…a lot…and now I was up shit creek without a paddle. You need to get over it. Who’s that? Is that my wolf? No, it couldn’t be my wolf since I haven’t heard from her in days. Stop being a C U Next Tuesday. You have no one to blame but yourself for my silence. You were hurting me because of your inability to trust that someone would love you without hurting you. Wow, way to be a bitch. You just don’t like the fact that I’m right and that you’re scared. Tala goes back to the deep recesses of my mind, back to ignoring me. I hate when my wolf is right about shit. I wish that, just once, I could be the one spitting facts at her but nope, here I am with egg on my face. I’m starting to think that volunteering for this case was a bad idea and that

(Tiernan’s P.O.V) After I left Siobhan in the woods to finish her meditation, I went back to the hotel and sat myself down at the bar. I needed a drink after how these last few days have played out, I wasn’t expecting her to be my mate. I wasn’t expecting her absolute disdain for the mate bond, and I know that the only reason why she mated with me, at first, was because of her heat. Our “hunt” had been an experiment to her, to see if it was something she would enjoy which is what BDSM is all about. Exploring your deepest desires in a safe and consensual way. I throw back my third glass of whiskey, knowing that human liquor won’t get me drunk until I’ve had at least ten more glasses, I wave to the bartender for another. “This seat taken?” I hear a male voice ask. I look over and it’s Anders, the vampire FBI agent that traveled here with Si. “Sure, go ahead,” I murmur, taking my drink from the bartender. “What’ll it be for you?” The bartender asks him. “I’l

(Tiernan’s P.O.V) Fuck my life. Like seriously, of course, Artemis would show up while I’m trying to woo my mate. Your grandfather wants to speak with you, Tiernan. I hear Artemis say in my head. If you couldn’t tell, I’m trying to woo my mate. Grandpa can wait another hour. Please, Artemis, just tell him to give me an hour. Pulling me in would cause unwanted attention right now. I beg my familiar. I will tell him, but he will only give you an hour. Not a second longer. He states, before flying off. “That was so weird. Literally, that bird was just sitting there staring at us not moving an inch!” Siobhan states creeped out by Artemis’s behavior. I think it’s time that we tell her. Steele whispers. I think so too, but not in the middle of the restaurant. When we are driving home, I will. “Kitten, I’m sorry to cut dinner short but we need to head back to the hotel. Patrick texted me and said he needed my opinion on something that couldn’t wait.” I lie. It

(Tiernan’s P.O.V) I’m pulled from my body, and I’m greeted by my grandfather’s dogs, the Hounds of Annwn greet me with playful yips and jump on me. “Hey guys, take me to grandpa, okay?” I ask as I give each hound a pat on the head. All three hounds nod their heads and start walking to the dais that his throne was sitting on, and I see my father standing in front of him. “Hey dad, gramps,” I call out from halfway down the hall. “Tiernan, my boy! Thank you for being here. I was just catching up with your dad about what’s been going on in the Human Realm.” My grandpa, Arawn, says before he comes down off the dais to embrace me. He’s in his human form because his normal form always creeps me out, my dad doesn’t mind but I saw him in his usual form—deer skull with branches for antlers with a human body—for the first time when I was five and it scared the shit out of me. Therefore, for me, he maintains his full human form when I visit. His human for

(Siobhan’s P.O.V) “Your grandfather was able to tell you?” I ask in surprise. “Yes. Just give me a minute, I need to take a piss. Not sure why, but every time I visit him when I come back to my body I need to piss.” He murmurs, getting off the bed and making his way into the bathroom. You may want to hide, Si. I don’t know what you mean Tala. After the toilet flushes and I hear the tap on the sink turn on, I hear Tiernan gasp and then growl in annoyance. He comes stomping back into the room and is a raging bull without the horns. “What the fuck did you do to my face?” He growls. “Well, Camilla had a new eyeshadow palette that she wanted to try out and you were visiting your grandfather. I didn’t think you would mind.” I say, shrugging my shoulders. While he was out of his body, the girls and I had gotten bored for the better part of two hours and decided that Tiernan needed a new look. Camilla did have a new eyeshadow palette that she wanted to swatch,

(Tiernan’s P.O.V) I couldn’t believe that she would say some bullshit like that about my abilities as an Alpha, I’m not used to this type of shit. I needed to get out of there, the room was stifling, and I honestly needed to get away from her. I think we need to reject her. I can’t do this; it hurts too much, and she doesn’t even want to be with us in the first place. Don’t you dare Ty! Tala wants us! That’s not enough Steele, Siobhan needs to want us too, and she doesn’t. Yeah, sure we mated outside of her heat cycle but that doesn’t mean anything. She doesn’t want us to mark her, she doesn’t want to mark us. Please, Tiernan. Don’t do this. We need her. I know we do buddy, but I can’t put myself through this anymore. I shut off my link to him, not wanting to listen to his arguments about why we need to keep our mate around when she obviously doesn’t want us. I was so caught up in my thoughts and conversation with Steele that I hadn’t realized I made it

(Siobhan’s P.O.V) By the time I got out of the hotel, he was gone. Serves you right! How could you say something so vile to him!? He takes great pride in being a good Alpha to his people and you just shit all over it.! I didn’t mean to say it! I was just frustrated! Well, thanks to your bitch move, Steele is blocking me out. I wouldn’t be surprised if they reject us after this despite how much pain we will all be in. I didn’t respond, I couldn’t. She was right because he had every right to reject us now. I had continuously pushed him away, telling him I didn’t want a mate and had every intention of rejecting him before leaving. I run back up to the suite and grab the keys to one of our cars and make my way to the packhouse. I get to the gates and that fucker Luther was at the gates again, I knew he was going to give me a hard time after my comment earlier this week about his dick size. “I’m here to see my family, Luther, so just let me through.” I lie bec

Alpha of the Dead Epilogue II
(Artis’s P.O.V) Day after funeral pyres Sitting in the car with my mate, Alpha Brock Malone, was pure torture with his scent surrounding me, nearly suffocating me. He smelled delicious, leather and pine. It had been over a year since I had seen him. A year since I had spoken my official rejection. A year since he had softly said that he did not accept that rejection. Orsa, my bear, and I were slowly dying. I was having difficulty shifting and when I did, it was agony. Orsa stopped talking to me, I rarely heard from her and when I did, it was usually something snarky. I didn’t blame her though; I had taken her away from her mate. Brock hadn’t been doing much better, according to my brother, who happened to be his Gamma. He was angrier than he had ever been, his temper out of control to the point that the sleuth was beginning to fear him for all the wrong reasons. This was worrisome considering Brock Malone was a giant teddy bear, and I’m not saying that becaus
Alpha of the Dead Epilogue I--Split Chapter
(Tiernan’s P.O.V) 5 months later “Come on, kitten. You can do it.” I murmur in her ear, as her grip tightens around my hand. She’d been in labor for the last day and a half, it was finally time to meet our baby. I had tried talking Siobhan into finding out if we were having a girl, but she wouldn’t budge on wanting to be surprised. Though we did pick out names for each sex: Imogen if the baby is a girl, and Cian if the baby is a boy. Her pregnancy had actually been relatively uneventful until she started having contractions at her last doctor’s appointment. He had timed them while we were there and he told us to check into the hospital. It took awhile but her water finally broke about an hour ago and she’d been pushing for the last half hour. I proposed to her a week after her Luna Ceremony, and of course both our families were there when it happened. It didn’t take long for my mother and Shelly to plan the most outrageous wedding. Siobhan wasn’t in the mood to even off
Alpha of the Dead Chapter 70
(Tiernan’s P.O.V) Siobhan was absolutely beautiful, dressed in gold and black, and looking like a Goddess damn snack. After we grasped hands and built that pack connection for her, I kissed her as if my life depended on it, and that’s when I smelled it…the subtle change in her scent. Her wildflower and honeysuckle scent had a hint of something else; cinnamon. She’s pregnant! Our mate is pregnant with our pup! Steele roars out, strutting around in the back of my mind. I don’t think she knows. She hasn’t said anything about feeling any type of nausea or anything like that. She needs to take a test, now. Before we go to the reception. How did we not realize the change this morning? Because you were too busy getting your dick wet and Tala was being a tease to me. Makes sense. We walk down the dais, hand-in-hand, making our way back up the aisle and into the packhouse. I pull her up towards our bedroom, and she gives me a puzzled look. “Tiernan, we don’t h
Alpha of the Dead Chapter 69
(Siobhan’s P.O.V) Day of Luna Ceremony I woke up with a moan, and the feeling of a hot tongue flicking my clit and two fingers in my pussy. “Good morning kitten,” Tiernan says, pulling his face away from my pussy for just a moment. “Good morning, Alpha.” I moan as his tongue goes back to working my clit. His tongue is drawing figure eights against my clit and his fingers are pounding into me, helping me reach that precipice of pleasure. Then he stops. I growl and glare down at him. “Who said you could stop?” I growl out. “Oh, is little kitten in charge? I don’t think so.” He says, before grabbing me around the waist and flipping me over. He grabs my hips and raises my ass right into the air before his hand comes down repeatedly on my ass. The pain eventually turns into pleasure and on the final smack, I cum. Hmm, who knew a spanking could get me off. I think to myself. “Now that that’s out of the way.” He growls, before slamming his cock in
Alpha of the Dead Chapter 68
(Siobhan’s P.O.V) Several days later Walking down the hallway towards the top of the stairs, I couldn’t help but look back on the last few days. Patrick and Camilla are now fully mated and marked. He admitted to being an asshole and jumping to conclusions about what Camilla would have wanted. Anders and High Priestess Winona are back at the Coven of the Crystal Rose, and Artis went back to her sleuth with Alpha Brock. There’s something about Alpha Brock though that makes it difficult to be around him for long periods of time. Like his presence is oppressive, suffocating. Artis doesn’t feel it but I do, it feels like when Tiernan gets angry and taps into his Celestial magic, his presence becomes oppressive as well. Preston and Julia have settled into life as a mated couple really well in Virginia. Julia is beyond ecstatic to be in the Human Realm learning things about our way of life, though it’s not much different from the Lunar Realm. She got a job working in the archive
Alpha of the Dead Chapter 67
(Siobhan’s P.O.V) After packing all up my apartment, Tiernan talked me out of calling my brother and told me it was best that I wait to talk to him in person. He said that Camilla coming back with us may put this whole situation to rest. So now we are on a private jet, heading back to California with Artis, Anders, Camilla, and Cat Cobain. Tiernan did his best to try and talk me into rehoming him, but that wasn’t going to happen. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone hate an animal so much in my life, but it seemed that the feeling was mutual with Cat Cobain. Tiernan had one of the warriors come and collect us in one of the pack’s SUVs. The ride back to the pack territory was full of tension, mostly because of Artis and Camilla. We pulled into the pack territory, where Winona was going to meet Anders and stay for the funeral pyres. Artis tenses next to me and I look through the windshield of the car to see Alpha Brock standing next to Patrick. “You okay?” I whisper to her.
Alpha of the Dead Chapter 66--Split Chapter
(Siobhan’s P.O.V) I was going to kill Patrick! Here he was, bitching about me rejecting Tiernan and he goes and does the same to Camilla! “I’m going to kill him.” I growl out. “Woah, that’s premeditation right there, Siobhan. Keep it to yourself.” Nerina says. “Who does he think he is!? Rejecting his mate but coming at me all types of ways when I was rejecting Tiernan!? That mother fucking weasel!” I shout. “Okay, this meeting has come completely off the rails. Agent Williams, you need to calm down, now. We will finish the meeting then you can pick a spot in the rose garden to practice your…gardening.” Nerina says, using air quotes for the word ‘gardening’. I couldn’t help but go quiet, only blinking in astonishment. Did she just tell us to practice murdering our brother? Um, honestly? I have no idea and that scares me. “Now that everyone is calmed down, I will be reaching out to the FBI field office in Northern California for three transfers. I assume
Alpha of the Dead Chapter 65
(Siobhan’s P.O.V) We arrived in Virginia and when we arrived at baggage claim, there was a driver waiting for all of us. “Did you order a car for us?” “No, I ordered a limo for everyone. No point ordering separate cars, that’s just a ridiculous expense.” Tiernan answered. He greets the man wearing a suit and holding a sign that says “Hathaway/Williams” and tells him that we will have half a dozen bags of luggage. Once we all piled into the limo, we were off, dropping everyone at their various houses saving Camilla and me for last since we lived in the same complex. I was excited to see Cat Cobain, getting pictures from my neighbor Doris just wasn’t the same. If Steele eats Cat Cobain, I’m chopping his balls off and turning them into a coin purse. He won’t touch Cat, and if he did, I’ll help with castration. I was anxious to see Tiernan and Steele’s reaction to Cat Cobain since basically all werewolves, except for myself and Camilla, had issue
