Alpha's Cursed And Broken Mate chapter 32
He pulled his hand out of my pants, then gripped me closer, pushing his lips on to mine again. The pressure was intense, and it was hurting me. I shoved him again, but he held me closer, forcing the kiss on me.I pulled away again. “Stop!”“Just give in, baby,” he said. “I’m going to make you feel so good.”“I said stop.” My mind wasn’t fuzzy anymore. I knew I didn’t want this.Growling came from behind me and the man holding me suddenly released his grip.“The lady saidno.” Alec looked like he was ready to attack.I scrambled away, giving distance between me and the male I’d been making out with.“I didn’t know she was yours,” he said. “I wouldn’t have kissed her if I knew.”“You pack your things and leave now. She saidno.” Alec growled.“We were drunk, she was enjoying herself,” he said.“You leave or I will make you leave,” Alec said.The man growled and his hands balled into fists. My chest rose and fell as my breathing quickened. He looked like he was ready to attack.“This place

Sheila wasn’t in her bed when I woke the next morning. I figured that meant things went well with her hookup. At least one of us was getting some action.I cringed at the thought. I could have had some if I wanted it, but I wasn’t interested in the pushy male who had his tongue down my throat. Lucas, I think Alec called him.Tossing the sleeping bag aside, I climbed off the cot and stretched. I was still in the same outfit from yesterday and since I didn’t have a change of clothes, this was as good as it was going to get.My temples throbbed and my tongue was like cotton. The forth cup of beer was probably a mistake. Since I didn’t drink often, I wasn’t great at holding my liquor.I ran my fingers through my hair to work out some of the tangles, then slipped on my boots. Hopefully, there was coffee to be found. Then I needed to find Alec before I went to Greta. It felt a little weird with how we’d left things last night and I wanted to assure him that I would respect his decision to se

Growing up, we’d been taught that the Wolf Creek Pack was powerful. A favorite pack of the wolf shifter king, a model pack, blah blah blah. It got old fast. All the crowing about how excellent we were while keeping strangers out and never allowing us to explore the rest of the world.I’d grown up so isolated in my pack, that I no longer knew what was true and what had been hidden from me. Why didn’t I know about a toxin that could prevent a wolf from shifting? Was that something the others knew about? Or was it only Ace and his crew?It was odd that there was a toxin that existed that could cause the exact problem I had. If not for the fact that you had to be shot with it, I might have worried it was used against me. But why bother with me? I wasn’t important enough for them to care about. Plus, there was that whole mated to the alpha’s son thing.I stopped walking as a strange sensation washed over me. Longing, desire… there was a tiny part of me thinking about Tyler.Fuck no.I push

“What do you mean?” I asked.“We could break that bond you have with your mate,” he suggested.“You mean I could kill him?” I clarified.“You can’t, he’s your mate. But I could,” he said.I shook my head. “I can’t ask you to do that for me.”“Can’t or won’t?” He narrowed his eyes. “Have you forgotten what he did? Or is the bond taking hold?”“No!” I recoiled, taking a step away from Alec. I had a lingering memory of wishing Tyler dead, but now I couldn’t make myself want that for him. “Is there another way to break the bond?”“Yes. But you’d have to go back to Wolf Creek.” His eyes were locked on mine. He was deadly serious.“You know that’s a death sentence for me,” I said.“Not if we’re smart. You need to get close to him, but not that close,” he said.“I don’t want to go near him. What if…” I couldn’t finish the thought.“What if you start to feel things for him?” Alec asked. “That’s going to happen no matter what. The longer you fight the bond, the more it will build. I wager you

My head was pounding by the time Alec left me at Greta’s tent. I think I mumbled a thank you before he left, but with the hangover in full force, it was difficult to remember.“Is it bright out there or did you have too much to drink last night?” Greta said by way of greeting as she opened her tent flap.“Both,” I admitted.She chuckled. “Come on in, I have something to fix that.”I followed her into her tent and sat down in a chair next to her little table. She busied herself pouring something into a cup, then walked over to me.“It tastes like death, but it’ll knock the hangover out.” She set a glass of brown liquid down in front of me.I picked up the cup. “Cheers.” After a hesitant sip, I nearly spit the liquid across the room. “You were not kidding.”She sat in the chair across from me. “It’s easier if you do it all at once.”After a steadying breath, I knocked the drink back, fighting my gag reflex as I swallowed it all. Wincing, I set the glass on the table. “What was that?”“Y

I wasn’t enjoying where this conversation was going. I had spent my whole life doing what I needed to blend in, to survive. My plan was to leave Wolf Creek, go to college, and get a job. All my choices were based on being able to take care of myself. I planned to blend in and pretend to be human forever. In all my thoughts about the future, I never considered what I’d want if I had choices. I just assumed I didn’t. “I’m not even sure I know what I want.”“You have some thinking to do, then,” she said.“Yeah, I guess I do,” I said.Greta stood. “I’d suggest finding somewhere quiet to think. What is it that you want? How can you show your wolf that you’re not going to hold everything back?”I looked up at her. “I don’t know where to begin.”“Try having some hard conversations with yourself. You might need to discover who you are outside of Wolf Creek. Who is Lola? What do you love to do? Where do you want to go? How do you want to live? We might get a longer life than humans, but our ti
Alpha's Cursed And Broken Mate chapter 38
Word got out fast that I was looking to find ways to keep busy. I found myself helping weed garden beds and chase kids around. I read books to a blind shifter, learned how to cook chili in a huge pot, and told ghost stories around a campfire.Best of all, I finally found my sense of direction. I could make it to the lake and back by myself and managed to keep my bearings all over camp. A few times, I found myself at Alec’s door, but he was never home. Nobody seemed to know where he was, but any time I asked, he was simply,away. It was probably better that way. While I wanted to ask him for more details about his plan to help break my mating bond, it wasn’t going to solve my wolf problem.The days bled into night and I’d collapse on my cot, exhausted. My mind didn’t race, I didn’t worry, I didn’t overthink anything. I was too tired to wonder.It made the time fly, but it didn’t help me get any closer to figuring out what I wanted or drive any connection with my wolf.“Knock, knock,” I s

When I stepped into my tent, I discovered I wasn’t alone. Alec stood when I entered. “How’s the soul searching going?”“I wasn’t under the impression that Greta was sharing the process with you,” I said.“There’s not a whole lot that happens here that I don’t know about,” he said.“Then you already know the answer to your question.”“True. Which is why I thought I’d see if I could help,” he offered.“Where have you been all week?” I asked. “I could have used the help.”“I’m afraid I had to deal with some things away from camp,” he said.“Any of it having to do with me?”“Yes,” he said. “Your pack is out hunting you. We can’t wait until the full moon. We’ll have to go while they’re weaker.”“When?” I asked.“We’ll go tomorrow.”My heart raced. I wasn’t ready. I couldn’t shift and I wasn’t mentally prepared to face them. “I can’t.”“You have no choice,” he said. “If we play this right, you won’t even have to see him if that’s what you’re worried about.”“How do we do it?” I asked. “Break

Alpha's Cursed And Broken Mate Epilogue
The entire household was buzzing as they finished preparations for the Solstice celebration. The longest night of the year happened to fall on a full moon, which meant one party of epic proportions.I took a deep breath as I prepared to greet the guests. While having the alphas of the packs for visits had almost become routine, this gathering was different.Alec took hold of my hand. “You’re going to be great. Nothing bad is going to happen. This is what you’ve been working so hard for the last year.”He was right, of course. And he’d been by my side for every step. I was truly grateful to have such a strong and supportive leader by my side. We’d found a balance in the last year, working together to improve pack relations and begin the process for positive change for all shifters.Tonight we took that a step further. While we’d been working to break down the years of animosity between us and the witches, our alliance was still in its infancy.Shifter and witches both held sacred conne

While my old pack was busy peppering Kyle with questions, I took Alec aside. “You doing okay?”“Yeah,” he said. “I know Kyle’s going to deal with this mess well.”“And you and I get to deal with the bigger mess,” I said. “If my uncle was authorizing Wolf Creek’s use of the toxin to take out their neighbors, what else don’t we know?”“I know Spencer said to give them a chance, but you sure you want a council that enabled that behavior to stick around?” Alec asked.He had a very good point. “I’m not sure I do want them around. But I do think we need to learn from them and find out what has been going on for the last few decades.”“You’re not out of the woods yet. You’re a walking target, you know that, right?” Alec asked.“I know. I wish I wasn’t used to it,” I said. “But at least I’m not alone this time. I’ve got you, Sheila and Malcom. And the four of us can work together to figure out who we can and can’t trust.”“They’re good shifters. Even before Malcom shared his story, I got the

“If it were me, I’d have a couple of guards escort him to his home and give him an hour to pack. Then, I’d kick his ass out.” Horace took a deep breath. “That toxin has been the black mark on my time of service. I would be honored if you’d allow me to help you destroy it.”“I’d like that,” I said.“Guards, escort him to his home. Check the roster for his inner circle, past and present. Kick them all out.” For once, the strict rules and lists for who was considered the alpha’s inner circle worked to my benefit. All packs had to keep records. As long as Ace has been in power, he’s kept track. The positions were valued but there were shifters who’d turned them down. Everyone knew working for Ace meant good things for your family, but it might cost you everything.A pair of my guards escorted Ace away. Several members of his inner circle followed him. Wolf Creek deserved a chance at peace.To my surprise, Viki, Ace’s wife approached me. She had yellow and purple bruises on her face, nearl

“Ace Grant, I strip you of your title and your role as alpha of Wolf Creek,” I said.“No, you can’t do that. You can’t. I earned this.” He stood, his hands balled into fists.For a moment, I thought he might charge me. My guards moved closer and Alec stood in front of me.Ace took a step back and Alec’s tension eased. He stepped aside, but stayed right next to me.“You stole the title,” I said. “You didn’t work for it. You didn’t earn it. You didn’t prove anything to gain it.”“He doesn’t even have a mark,” someone shouted from behind. The gathered shifters cheered in response.“Send him to the caves!” Another voice called. The cheers grew even wilder.I smirked, knowing I had been correct. I was never alone here, we were all prisoners.“Please no, have mercy,” Ace said. “I already lost my son. Isn’t that enough?”“You don’t want to be trapped in the caves?” I had no intention of sending him there, but I had to admit I was enjoying hearing him beg.“I didn’t betray anyone. It’s not a

Wolf Creek was ready to greet the royal family when we arrived. The entire pack turned out, everyone gathered in front of the barn as requested.I could see them waiting as we approached, careful to keep myself hidden from view behind the guards and accompanying council. I didn’t tell them why I wanted to return here, and I was certain they were expecting some kind of happy reunion.Alec was already seething with rage, the emotion far more intense than it should be. My wolf clawed at my chest, wanting to get out to comfort her mate. That’s when I realized I wasn’t just sensing Alec’s emotions, I was feeling his inner wolf. And he was pissed.My wolf was distracted by her mate. Her feelings toward Wolf Creek secondary to his discomfort. It was interesting that Alec’s hate toward Wolf Creek was two-fold. I could feel his personal vendetta against my old pack mixed with a need to protect and defend his mate. In a strange way, it was kind of sweet.“Let me take lead on this,” I said to hi

The four of us stepped through the double doors and the members of the council rose when they saw us. They had been seated at a long wood table, with a dozen chairs. At one end of the table there was a chair twice the size of the others. A crackling fire glowed in a wood fireplace behind it. The floor was dark wood and a red and gold rug sat under the long table. The chandeliers above the table were made of antlers, a very different aesthetic from the crystal I’d seen in the other parts of the home.“Thank you for waiting,” I said, trying to sound more calm and commanding than I felt in the moment.“Of course, your highness,” one of the men said.I walked to the larger chair and sat down. The gathered males took their seats. One side of the table was my family, on the other, the four males who made up my predecessor’s council. It was an odd arrangement, but if Spencer thought it was worth hearing what they had to say, I’d give it a chance.“We are honored that you’re willing to meet w

Breakfast with my friends felt familiar and safe. Sheila, Malcom, and Kyle had mostly waited to eat until we arrived. The guards stood outside the room, and at my instance, the staff was willing to leave the food and let us serve ourselves.To my friends’ credit, they all steered the topic of conversation toward random things that were unrelated to our current situation. It was as if they knew I needed a little break before I had to figure out how to do the job I’d committed to when I took down the old king.We ate till we were all stuffed and laughed at Malcom’s stories about trying to learn how to fix a car and accidentally setting it on fire. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I pictured Mario’s face. “I bet he never let you near his car again.”“Only if I’m trying to fix it. Driving I’m fine with. It’s when you give me tools that it causes an issue.”“I’ll keep that in mind,” I said.“Your highness,” a male voice said.I turned and saw one of my guards. Malaki, I think.He was holdin

I stretched out my hand and he took it. The two of us silently followed Spencer. I didn’t need to look behind me to know that my guards were following me. It was one of those things I was going to have to get used to, I supposed.“Have you seen her this morning?” I asked.“Not yet,” Spencer said.“You think Star can help her?” I asked Alec.“If anyone has a chance, it’s her,” Alec said. “She figured out an antidote to that toxin. And you’ve seen what else she can do.”That was part of my concern. What if Star hadn’t been able to help my mom? If she couldn’t, I wasn’t sure anyone else could.As we continued down hallways lined with doors, and up a few flights of stairs, I considered what I would even say to her. Everything in my mind about my mom was so full of conflict. I wanted to help her, but she was also such a source of pain for me. She might not have been in control, but why did she have to do that to herself in the first place? Why did she flee to Wolf Creek of all places? Why

I woke to the sound of knocking. My eyelids fluttered open as a warm pair of arms pulled me tighter. A smile spread on my lips as the events of last night came flooding into my mind.Of course, the good memories of three rounds of fucking fantastic sex with Alec were followed by the memory of the challenge. I sat up, nearly elbowing Alec in the process.“What’s wrong?” His voice was groggy.“I beat the shifter king last night,” I said.He chuckled. “Yeah, you’re the queen. We already knew that.”“Right, but that means there are people expecting things from me.” I had ideas. Big ideas. Things I wanted to change, but I wasn’t sure what the protocols were or what hoops I’d need to jump through. Spencer had said he’d help.I glanced at the clock on the bedside table. It was ten in the morning.Holy shit.They must have ended the party without me and nobody bothered us all night.I guess there were perks to being the shifter queen.The knock sounded again and I scrambled off the bed, grabbin
