I grab Angel by the arm and walk out of the cells to an area where Eli can’t hear us. “What do you mean he’s telling the truth. He was found with her body.”

“Yes, and he admits that. Every word he said back there was truthful. Alessia confirms it.”

This can’t be. This can’t be! I’ve been searching my entire life for this man, this man that I thought killed my mother and now I found out he didn’t kill her? It makes no sense.

“Then why was he with her? Why was he holding her dead body?” I’m pacing, running my fingers through my hair. Angel comes up to me, taking my hands in hers.

“I don’t know. The only way we’ll find out is if we ask him.”

I look into her eyes. “Are you sure? Absolutely sure?”

“Yes. I’m positive.” She says.

FUCK! I’ve been chasing the wrong person all these years? I’ve been using Eli as my personal punching bag, and he didn’t kill my mother?

I take a deep breath. “You’ll tell me the minute anything he says is a lie. Anything!”

“Of course, Liam.” She cups my fac

    Tears are streaking down my face at Eli’s story. Everything he said is the truth. There was not one moment in his story that I could taste deceit. Liam had set me in the second chair and had begun pacing. Through the bond, I could feel his indecision, his frustration at hearing this story. “You could have told my father this story back then, why didn’t you?” Liam asks him. “Your father was a grief-stricken man, out for blood. He wouldn’t have listened to me any more than you have the last six months.” I can see the impact of his words on Liam, feel them through the bond. Liam knows he’s right and his own guilt is threatening to eat him up. I stand and go to him, wrapping my arms around him. It takes a moment, but his arms come around me and he pushes his face into my neck, breathing deeply, calming himself. We stand there for a moment, while Liam collects himself. When he’s calm, he looks back at Eli. “What about Cara? Why did you try to forcibly mark her?” It’s Eli’s turn to st

    When I drop Angel off at Clint’s, I walk her inside. I need Clint to know that she’s still healing from yesterday and tired from our marking and mating last night. After I get his assurances that he won’t push her too hard or let her overdo it, I pull her aside. “Alessia.” Cyran pushes forward, I want her to understand the importance of what I’m about to say and I need for her to listen to me. I put my hands on her shoulders when I see the gold rim of Alessia’s eyes and Angel’s eyes turn from gray to an olive color. “Do not run home. I don’t know if there are other vampires in the area. While we have patrols out keeping an eye on the borders, they are after you. I don’t want you out there without me when I can’t ensure your safety.” “Yes Alpha.” She says and bares her neck to me. Her act of submission is so unexpected that I stand there for a moment, my heart stuttering in my chest before I reach down and gently nip her neck then kiss my way up to her mouth. “I love you too much

    “Why would being mated to me help Liam see the vampires?” I ask Rik. “When Cara and I completed our mating process, I became stronger and took on some of her Guardian gifts, just not to the same extent that she has them. In the same way, I think that Liam will have some of your gifts, one of which is being able to see the vampires. I know I’m faster now that I’m mated to Cara, and I’ll guess Liam will be too.” I turn and look at Liam. “Do you feel stronger?” He shrugs, keeping his arms wrapped around me. “I felt the power surge when you marked me. I haven’t exactly had time to test out any of your other gifts.” “Back to the task at hand.” Clint brings us back to attention. “We need a plan to make sure that these vampires do not have the opportunity to get to Angel and Cara, especially now that Cara is pregnant. We don’t know how that may influence her taste to them.” “Meaning, I may taste better?” She asks with a disgusted look on her face, as Rik growls. “We don’t know enough.

    I thought my heart was going to fall out of my chest when Angel suggested leaving to protect the packs. No fucking way is my girl leaving me. I was thankful that Clint agreed with me and helped her see that what she wanted to do was not helpful in the long run. When she promised not to leave, I felt better. I won’t be completely better until this is done, but for now, my Angel is safe and we have a good plan. As we sit down, I address Rik and Cara. “I have something else we need to discuss. Eli Gunnar.” “What about him?” Rik asks and begins eating. “It turns out that he didn’t kill my mother.” Everyone at the table stops and looks at me. I feel Angel take my hand under the table. “You believe him?” Rik asks. “I believe Angel and Alessia, and they say he’s not lying.” Everyone’s focus turns to Angel and I can feel her discomfort through the bond at being the center of attention. “They can smell deceit.” I clarify. “It’s actually more like a taste.” She says quietly. “Make sure

    I can’t believe that Liam is willing to let Eli go. I’m even more surprised that Rik agreed as well. But I’m glad. Alessia and I can tell that Eli meant everything that he said today. I’m exhausted after a long day, but my fatigue flies out the window as I watch my mate strip his clothes off for bed. He turns to me. “I don’t usually sleep with clothes on. Do you want me to keep wearing pants to bed or are you okay now that we’re mated?” I slowly walk toward him, unbuttoning my shirt as I go. His eyes darken as they follow the path of my hands down my shirt. I let the blouse drop on the floor, before undoing my bra and letting it drop as well. When I get to Liam, I run my hands over his stomach, tracing the lines of his abdominal muscles down to his adonis belt. That’s all it takes for my mate to pick me up and take me to bed, showing me how much he loves me over and over and over again. The next morning, I wake, still feeling a bit sore from the previous evening’s activities. I’m l

    I’ve nearly finished my meeting with Jackson when I get a frantic mind link from Dustin. “Alpha, get down here.” He sounds like he’s grunting in pain. “Dustin, what is it?” “Just...get….to….the….kitchen.” He sounds as if he’s barely able to get the words out. I race out of my office and down the stairs to the kitchen. The moment I walk in, I know something is very wrong. The kitchen is full of pack members on their knees baring their necks, many are my strongest warriors. Dustin is off to the side. He’s still standing, but his neck is bared in absolute submission. My mate is standing in the center of the kitchen, holding the wrist of my Lead Omega, as he kneels in front of her. Interestingly, there are two Omegas sitting against the wall behind her that seem unaffected by her aura. They are huddled together, holding on to each other, watching the scene wide-eyed. I don’t have time to figure out why they aren’t affected, I need Angel to drop the aura now. Her aura is the strongest

    We collected Eli and Dustin and headed into the city. When we arrived, Liam took Eli to a store to get some clothes and a backpack before buying him a bus ticket. “Where do you want to go? The next bus is heading north to Asheville.” “That works.” Eli responds. Liam gives him an envelope with money in it. “This is enough to get you back on your feet and started in a new life. Good luck Eli.” After he thanks Liam, Eli boards the bus, and we watch as the bus leaves the station, heading north. I’ve never been in a human city. It is big and loud, lots of tall buildings and cars honking, moving in every direction. It’s very overwhelming for me and I am glad that Liam is holding my hand. When we get to his building, he takes me up to his apartment first. We brought a change of clothes and some things to stay overnight. When I walk in, I’m amazed at how beautiful it is. Everything looks new and the floor to ceiling windows give an amazing view of the city. “Wow.” I say. He comes up be

    I can’t believe the girl I’ve been searching the entire country for has literally been right under my nose for weeks. I’m thankful that we found her, even if her being mated to Dustin causes complications. It’s at least one thing I can take off my over-full plate of things that need to be done.My mind is reeling with the changes I need to make for her to continue working from the packhouse, setting her up as a permanent resident within the pack and wondering how I’m going to break the news to my Beta that his mate was horribly abused by a vampire, even more so than my mate was.I’m not sure if that’s why I didn’t notice the smell right away, but when Angel calls my name, her voice full of desperation and fear, the scent hits me. The elevator doors open and three vampires walk into the foyer of my office.I watch as the one in front lifts his nose in the air and sniffs. “Ahhhh, there she is, my tasty little treat. How I’ve missed you.” He looks directly at Sarah who is shaking uncontr

    Three years later It’s amazing how much changes in three years. Two days after Sarah and Dustin officially adopted Sienna, Sarah found out she was pregnant. It worked out okay because her pregnancy was very difficult. As expected, she was on bed rest for most of her pregnancy. Dustin would take Sienna with him to his office or I would keep her with me, having set up a kid’s play area in my office. Sometimes, Dustin would carry Sarah to her desk when she got too stir-crazy and needed a break from sitting in her bed all day. At least being in the packhouse, he and I were always close and could monitor her. The doctor told her she’d have to have a C-Section because her internal scarring was too severe to allow for a baby to pass through the birthing canal. And five months after adopting Sienna, they welcomed baby Jackson Dustin Roberts into the world. They named him after our previous Gamma, since he had given his life protecting Sarah and the others who were in the bunker that day. Ca

    Three months later To say that being a father has changed my life would be an understatement. You don’t know how much you can love another person until you hold your child in your arms for the first time and your heart aches because it’s so full of love. The mate bond is one thing, that is a gift given by the Moon Goddess and nothing could ever compare to that. But being a father feels like the greatest achievement of my life. My son is perfect, of course. All ten fingers, all ten toes. He was born with soft fuzz for hair that has started to grow in now and he definitely got my golden, curly locks. However, every time I look into his gray eyes, I see his mother. Angel says his eyes are the only thing he got from her and that we’ll have a mini-me walking around very soon. Works for me. I figure our little girl will look just like her mother. I hope so, it means she’ll be beautiful. Yes, it means I’ll have to go all Alpha on any male that looks at her but having a miniature version o

    After the terrible week of funerals, the pack began the slow process of rebuilding. We had to fix several homes, the back of the packhouse and the bunker. Liam refused to let me assist and he also refused to allow me at training, so instead, I started training with Sarah. Since werewolf pregnancies are much shorter than human pregnancies, five months instead of nine, I only have a couple of months before my stomach will be too big to do anything. I went with Sarah to see Dr. Phillips. After letting Dustin mark her immediately after the war, she wanted to know if she could have his children. She had extensive testing and Dr. Phillips decided that any human would struggle with the shorter gestation of having a wolf pup. The scar tissue would cause problems with getting pregnant, during the pregnancy and delivery, but since she would put Sarah on bedrest anyway, it should be possible. Sarah had told Dustin that they could have pups but that she would have to be on bedrest during the ge

  • Alpha's Guardian Angel   Chapter 70: Liam

    When the doctor told me that Angel was pregnant, I was concerned that she had kept it from me before the war. I was happy to learn that she hadn’t known until her strange walk with Clint who apparently brought her back to me. I’m not sure what that means or why it happened, but I’m forever indebted to him for bringing my Angel back.Dustin had prepared the funerals and pyres for our pack members. He had talked it over with me while Angel was unconscious, and we had agreed to have three days of funerals. There was so much sadness and pain among the pack members, but each of them deserved to have their time to say goodbye to their loved ones.I had spoken to Rik about the loss of his pack members. After Cara’s show of power, I wasn’t sure how many in his pack had survived. He lost nearly 100 pack members after losing the mates of those lost in the war. Thankfully, Cara’s power surge only seemed to knock their warriors out, not kill them as it had the vampires.Her strength was chilling.

    When I wake, it’s in a dream state. I’m walking in a forest. I can hear small animals moving around, but nothing else. It’s very quiet here. Beautiful, but lonely. Where is everyone? “Hello? Liam? Alessia?” I call out loud. ‘I’m here.’ Says an exhausted sounding Alessia. ‘Where are we?’ In my head, she lifts her head off the ground, looking around. ‘I know this place.’ ‘Where is it? Are we near the pack lands?’ ‘No.’ she says, just as Clint steps out of the trees in front of me. “Clint!” I run to him, throwing my arms around him. “I thought you were dead!” “I am sweetheart. It was my time. But why are you here? It’s not your time.” I look around me again. “I don’t know why I’m here. I woke up here.” I turn to look at him, horrified. “Am I dead? Where is Liam?!” I demand. “Can you hear Alessia in your head?” He asks me. “Yes. I can hear her.” “Then, you’re not dead. How about we look around and try to figure out why you’re here.” He puts his arm around my shoulders, guiding

    The blast threw everyone into the air and off their feet. When I get my senses back, I realize two things. Angel is unconscious on top of me, and I hear a keening sound in the distance that makes my heart hurt. I sit up, holding Angel in my arms, looking around. There are fae warriors and werewolves around me, shaking their heads trying to figure out what happened, just like I am. I follow the sound of the keening and realize it’s Cara. She’s holding her father’s lifeless body in her arms, rocking him back and forth. Oh no. Please tell me Clint isn’t dead. I see Rik, picking himself up off the ground, going to Cara. He pulls her into his arms and begins rocking her, trying to comfort her. I know the sound a person makes when they lose someone they love. That’s the sound that Cara is making now. It’s the sound of your heart breaking into a million pieces. I know that Clint is dead, and Cara’s heart is broken. What I thought was a bomb going off must have been a power surge from Cara,

    When Keenan sends his first wave, there are hundreds of vampires. The power that Cara, Clint and I have together can only hold for so long. It drains all of our energy. We are able to wipe out the first wave of vampires, but the second wave mostly gets through. By the third wave, we break off and begin fighting individually. We stay together as long as possible, and I see Rik and Liam throwing vampires to Clint to take out. He’s a machine. He always was. Alessia remembers him from his younger days. He’s stronger than an Alpha, so powerful. Even now, in his revised wheelchair, he’s taking on more vampires than most of the wolves on the battlefield. I wasn’t expecting to be able to feel the death of our pack members. I’ve never been a ranked pack member and it’s hard to concentrate constantly hearing the howling of wolves in pain and then feeling their death in my mind and heart. Thankfully, my Guardian instincts kick in and I’m fighting like my Guardian spirit has fought for centurie

    I snarl at Keenan’s comment to Angel. I wasn’t sure which one was him, but I knew it had to be one of the two pompous looking leeches. And now I focus my attention on him. He’s mine. For everything he did to Angel, I will kill him. Angel and the power of the Guardians, give them pause, but only for a moment. They must give a signal that I miss, because suddenly, hundreds of vampires are heading our way. Angel, Cara and Clint push out their aura, Angel making sure it’s directed in front of our line of werewolves and fae. A second wave starts almost immediately after the first. The first group runs right into the Guardian aura and are instantly turned to dust. The impact is taking its toll on them because the second wave starts getting through and another wave is right behind them. I see several vampires heading toward Angel and Cara and I jump into the fight. Cyran bursts through at the same time Kai, Rik’s wolf, does. We begin tearing through the vampires.

    When I get back to the packhouse, I call the leaders of each safe room. “Are we ready? Is there anything at all that is still needed? War is imminent.” After making sure that we are set, the leaders of each room and I begin going around to make sure that all pack members know that the rooms are open. Anyone that may need some extra time to get to their safe room or bunker can head over now and get themselves set up. We have one she-wolf that is on the verge of delivering her pup. I have assigned a doctor to the safe room where she will be. We have also made sure that any other pack members that may need medical assistance during the war are in this same room. I’m just finishing up and getting the older, slower pack members settled in the safe rooms when I get the mind link from Liam. “Angel, where are you?” “I’m finishing getting the elderly and pregnant into the safe rooms.” “They are coming. They will be here at dark tonight. I’m headed back. Start getting ready. I’m about to se
