Hello dear readers! In this book, you will see some character cross over if you have read my two previous books, however; these are all stand alones so there is no need to read the others before reading this one. If "split chapter" is written in the title, it means that there will be TWO POVs for that chapter. Also, this book will have scenes that can be triggering for readers, including: torture, allusions to rape, child abuse, kidnapping, and violence. This is your only warning before you proceed, so please be advised. There will be scenes of BDSM dynamic between our Male Lead and Female Lead, so if you aren't into kink or it makes you uncomfortable, please do not read any further. I hope that you enjoy Alpha of the Dead. --Sydney
(Siobhan’s P.O.V) “Alright, everyone! Settle down! We need to get this meeting underway!” Supervisory Special Agent Nerina Drummond calls out. Our entire unit, Unit 3, of the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit all take our seats around the amphitheater to get this meeting started. You knew it was going to be a bad case/day when your boss calls in the WHOLE unit instead of assigning the case to a specific team. Once everyone settles SSA Drummond powers up the projector to begin her presentation of the case. “As every one of you knows, we have seen a huge increase in child abductions in the state of California. Particularly in the northern half of the state. This has been a steady increase until the last few months; thirteen children have gone missing in the last two months.” There’s a sudden outburst of whispers and gasps, this is something that isn’t normal even in our line of work, working in crimes against children. SSA Drummond continues when the whispers sto
(Siobhan’s P.O.V) Waking up at the ass-crack of dawn was not what I wanted to do but we needed to get to California as soon as we possibly could. I meet Camilla at her apartment which was down the hall from mine so we could Uber together to the airport where we were meeting everyone else. When we get through security, we all stop at Starbucks near our gate to caffeinate ourselves before the long flight. Mmm, coffee Drink up little wolf, we are going to be running on nothing but caffeine and sarcasm for however long we are in California. Don’t need to tell me twice. Tala enjoys coffee just as much as I do, particularly when it’s early as all hell and we barely slept the night before because we were freaking the fuck out about going home. Don’t get me wrong, I love my parents and siblings, but I just never fully fit in with the family. We were the Beta family, known for being strong warriors and highly intelligent…except for me. I WASN’T a warrior, I hated unn
(Tiernan’s P.O.V) I was busy working at the construction and architecture firm that I own, now that my father had retired, when Patrick, my Beta walks in. “Well, the wayward Williams is on her way home.” He says, flopping himself down on the couch in my office. “Siobhan’s finally coming home?” I inquire. I had always been drawn to her, her beautiful dark hair and deep blue eyes that feel as if they are looking straight through your soul. She was petite when we were kids and not much of a fighter, but she was ridiculously smart. My wolf, Steele, perked up at the mention of Siobhan. He was equally as obsessed with her as I was. “Yeah, apparently she’s coming out here to look into the kidnappings.” He says. “Why is that any of her business?” “She works for the FBI remember?” He says incredulously. “Oh, right. I forgot.” I honestly had forgotten that she worked for the FBI, I didn’t keep tabs on her because I didn’t want to come across as creepy o
(Siobhan’s P.O.V) What the fuck is he doing!? Just because we are mates doesn’t give him the right to just grab me and try that shit with me. I’m furious right now, and this whole mate bond absolutely complicates our investigation because he’s going to be exhaustingly overbearing and annoying. When I get back out to the living area, everyone has their eyes averted but I can tell they are all smirking at the incident that just occurred. I growl, “Why are you here with the Alpha, Patrick?” “Because we were wanting to share information with you and your team.” He answers as Tiernan comes stomping out of my room, pouting like a child. “Well hurry up and say what you know. I’m exhausted, starving, and my patience is wearing thin.” I huff, narrowing my eyes at Tiernan. “Well, three of the children are human. However, five of the children are pups and cubs from different packs and sleuths, and five of the children are spell casters from two covens,” Patrick says. “Wait, no F
(Siobhan’s P.O.V) Camilla, Anders, and I are all visiting the families while Artis and Preston are going to visit the crime scenes to see if they can gather any information in the area from witnesses. It’s a long shot because there has been such a delay in our being invited in, but we can only hope for the best. The first family that we are visiting are members of my pack, Hallowed Manes, so I’m having to mentally prepare myself for encountering my mate. We stop at the gates and let the warriors know who we were and what our business was. “Well, hello there Siobhan, you’ve grown up quite nicely.” The warrior at the gate says, with a touch of lust in his eyes. “Please, put your dick BACK in your pants Luther, no one can see it without a microscope anyways,” I growl out. He was always an asshole and thought he was the Goddess’s gift to women; this comment though causes the other warriors at the gate to double over in laughter as Luther’s face turns red in anger
(Tiernan’s P.O.V) I couldn’t believe that Siobhan was my mate and that she basically rejected me without the actual words of rejection. What the hell?! Steele was whimpering in my mind, causing a dull ache in my chest not being near her. According to Steele, her wolf Tala wants to be with us but something that happened to Siobhan is holding her human counterpart back from accepting the mate bond. Siobhan was always beautiful, with her long black hair and her deep blue eyes always taking my breath away. She had an amazing figure, just like I remember, perky tits, a slim waist, and beautiful long legs. She was taller now, coming up to almost my chin, her long legs felt amazing being wrapped around my waist earlier. “So, what happened between you and Si to cause her to be so icy to you?” I ask Patrick, surprised by the icy greeting he got. “She hasn’t been home in almost a decade, and she doesn’t even really talk to us, so I don’t know why. I’ll ask her when she comes here

(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
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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.
(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
(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
