#Chapter49: Exit

last update Last Updated: 2022-03-24 14:41:18

Matt’s POV

After four rounds of blackjack, I was certain Grace and I had scraped the rumor mill about Justin’s habits, tastes, problems, and latest triumphs. As far as I was concerned, it was about time to find Renda and get out of here.

I hadn’t seen her since she’d left the man standing at the craps table and headed towards the bathroom. The man had continued to mill about playing a few rounds at random tables here and there, but Renda never returned to him.

The group of men who had sat at the table with me to play were the type to bet large out of arrogance and relied on their connections with Justin to ensure the dealer would cooperate. They lost a great deal and seemed a bit put off with it. The dealer seemed to be working on my side simply because Grace seemed comfortable with me.

I’d have to tell Renda that she was right about me needing more than just money and a plan to make everything go smoothly.

ugh, I didn't like him getting turned on by Grace. I kind of hated this chapter. I feel sad.

Ok this was a bit awkward. And I feel bad for the person that Mordecai will take his frustrations out on.

    Glenda’s POVI didn’t know what to think. Even Alyssa was silent as Grace trembled and seemed to relax in his arms. I was feverish. Heat and pleasure pooled and pulsed between my legs and I was confused.My nipples were sensitive, brushing against the fabric of the dress.I was aroused, but I didn’t know how to understand that. My head was spinning. Matt’s gaze had never left me even as he was fingering Grace beneath her dress.This wasn’t the first time I had been in the area with another woman in a sexual situation. A lot of men at Midnight and Larry’s had a threesome fantasy and were willing to pay to make it come true.This was the first time, however, that I didn’t think the other woman didn’t enjoy it, and I was actually aroused.The driver rolled down the partition. He was probably looking through the rearview mirror at Grace panting and splayed across Matt’s lap w

    Stupid. Crazy. Strange. Horrible. I’d been trying to get my body to agree with these thoughts, for a few minutes since Grace knocked, but I was having no luck.I didn’t like sex, yet I was having a sexy dream? The water pouring over my head was warm and doing nothing to calm me down. I wished it was nausea. I was familiar with that. I understood being nauseous after the mention of anything sexual, but it wasn’t.The hot, uncomfortable need was still there. The dream and the ride back to the hotel from the party were still running through my mind.Anger was bubbling up as I scrubbed myself clean from the night before and the sticky remnants of the dream.Alyssa was quiet for a change.Nothing to say? I growled, my frustration turning my mood angry. I’m surprised.I don’t need to tell you what you already know.I huffed and threw the washcloth to the floor of the shower and

    The words resonated through me. I felt Grace go stiff beside me and knew she was just as shocked. Midnight wasn’t just a little pack like Fluorite. It was second only to Warhammer. Taking Midnight down would be near impossible because of its allegiance with Warhammer.Matt’s lips twitched, “You two look like you might faint.”“That’s… a very large undertaking,” Grace said. “Why?”He glanced at me then down to my arm before his gaze turned hard, “Let’s just say Mordecai pissed me off enough and his relationship with Ben only pisses me off more.”“And… if you managed to take down Midnight, what then?”He looked at me, “Would that complete your revenge?”I blinked at him. I didn’t want to answer, but the words came anyway.“I don’t know.”His lips twitched, “Then, the plan after that hasn&rsqu

    My head was spinning as I stared at Matt. How much money was that? How much money did he have? How did he manage to get a hold of all of Warhammer’s industry like that? Why didn’t he just pull all the companies out of Warhammer if he had such a grudge against Ben?What did it mean that Ben was the alpha of a pack that his family didn’t found? Who founded Warhammer then?“How does that work?” I asked. He seemed surprised.“How much do you know about the Interpack agreements?”I winced. I knew a bit, at least the important ones for Fluorite, but my family owned the land and the businesses. We just ran them for the benefit of the pack. The Fluorite family had always been that way.“Enough.”Matt’s lips twitched, “Alphas have reason to give businesses a certain amount of slack with regards to their taxes because businesses can move local when they wish, but there is no reason to m

  • Auctioned Mates Revenge   #Chapter 54: Cocoa Madness

    Matt’s POVI eyed the list in my hand, turning over the conversation I’d had with Grace and Renda. No one would readily know the scientific names of flowers unless they dealt with them often, and the codes weren’t so obvious that anyone could guess them either.When I had called Felix, he explained the code of each line. He knew a lot more about drug dealing above and under the table than I did. The codes assigned to the blend were based on the medical terms for the blends.She hadn’t needed me to explain the first line and she seemed to know how to read the rest of the list.Did that mean that Renda had been studying to be a doctor or a pharmacist? Did she have some ties to the drug underground or had she picked it up while at Club Heaven or Larry’s?I sighed, shaking my head and folding the list up. I needed more information to be able to answer those questions, and I doubted that Glenda was ready to

    I laughed, “I’m not, but this isn’t a waste. I’ve purchased a club in Midnight and I am looking to stock it with the best. Blooming Vibes is my first choice.”He glanced at Renda before his gaze dropped to the table, “A club, you said?”“Yes.”“I don’t suppose you are also here on behalf of your brother?” Walter asked. His eyes hardened, “Or your father?”My lips twitched, “What Ben and his son get up to have nothing to do with me.”He met my gaze, seeming to search for some answer, but the tension in him didn’t ease.“You must know that I am… planning to auction the rest of the stores.” His lips twitched, “To pay the employees and close business finally.”Auction for Blooming Vibes just meant that he was looking to get out faster than he could be assured of if he just kept supplying his goods, or there

    Grace’s POVWalter and Matt spoke a little longer before Walter drew up a contract between them and signed over Blooming Vibes. Curiosity was killing me, but I held my peace. How was it possible to have more than one pack profile?How did the Interpack Authorities allow such a thing? Why did Mat have it? How did he get it?And how did Renda and Walter know each other?“I’ll show you around if you’d like,” Walter said, smiling.Matt nodded, “Why don’t you two take a tour? I have a call to make”I nodded and walked with Renda out of the room. He walked us around and introduced us to several women who looked at Renda as if they had seen a ghost. They were all from Fluorite I bet, or they knew her from when she was younger.How was that possible? Renda shook hands with them all, as did I. They smiled at me nervously as we headed through the rest of the building. There were b

    Glenda’s POVI took just one box from the cabinet because I couldn’t help myself. Matt didn’t seem to care or notice anything suspicious about it, so I didn’t worry about it. Within a few hours were back on the plane. Matt’s phone rang as we were waiting for take-off. He went to another section of the plane to answer it.With a glance towards the door, Grace pulled something out of her purse, hiding it in the sleeve of her jacket before settling into the seat beside me.She met my gaze and slipped it to me as if she thought we were begin watched.Now that I thought about it, were we being watched? By who? Matt? I had never considered the potential of us being watched, and I should have if we were going to keep secrets from Matt. It was a bit embarrassing how much more experienced, aware, and prepared Grace seemed to be.She leaned against my shoulder as if she was sleepy.I glanced down, leaning

    My legs felt shaky and everything was bigger. I realized quickly that I had shifted. I stretched and twisted. The shiny saber coat of fur lifted my heart.I didn’t think I’d ever be able to shift. I felt Alyssa fully settled and solid in my mind as I turned to look at Matt. His eyes were wide as I went up to him and rubbed my face against his leg.“You’re beautiful,” he said, kneeling and stroking my head. “Can you shift back, so we can talk?”I whined. Alyssa panicked and he chuckled, hushing me. He cupped my jaw and rubbed at the spots of tension there. It felt so good. I didn’t know what else to do but practically purr at him.“Take it easy. You don’t have to turn back right now,” he said. “I know it can take some getting used to.”He shifted and Alyssa sat up in alarm as we looked at Lucas and Matt through her eyes. He was so much bigger than us, stronger. His eyes glowed with red light. He could break my neck with such ease. I should have been scared, but I knew he would never hu

    Glenda’s POVMatt was different. His eyes were clear and his jaw was set, but he hadn’t said much of anything to me other than I needed to dress nicely.I got in the car in a nice dress and heels. He was in a three-piece suit. His hair was styled, and he looked as though he needed some space, yet he didn’t release my hand.“I’m giving a press conference,” he said. “About… everything.”He turned to look at me, “Do you want to speak about Fluorite?”I looked away and shook my head. I didn’t think I’d ever be ready to speak in such a public way about what happened.“Do you want me to talk about it?”I nodded.He squeezed my hand, “Will you stand with me?”I looked at him and squeezed his hand back, “Yes.”Some of the tension bled out of him and he pulled me close, “I have to tell you the basics before we get there so you aren’t surprised. I’m sorry I couldn’t talk about it. I just…”“It’s okay,” I said, turning into his arms. “I know it’s… been a lot. He’s dead.”“Mordecai was my real fa

    My ears were ringing.My mother’s video had answered a lot of questions, but not enough. My mother and Mordecai were mates. Due to some political issues on the west coast and Ben’s military force around Warhammer territory, Sharon had to make a decision: the people of Warhammer or her mate.Sharon hadn’t rejected Mordecai, but the distance and the ruse of pretending to be Ben’s mate wore on them both. Mordecai had been dying long before Sharon died, and if Ben had waited just a few more years, he wouldn’t have had to have her killed.Sharon and Mordecai had shared one night together after Sharon and Ben were married. That was the night she conceived Joel and I. She had me and Joel registered in Midnight when we were three, just after Ben came home with Sonia to protect us because she figured that Ben would realize they were mates and start to suspect that we weren’t his sons. That was the same time that Mordecai found out that we were his sons.Soon after, Ben sent her to the mental h

    Matt shifted and pulled the door open. Ben was just on the other side, kicking Mordecai’s body aside. He was still breathing. I could hear his breath rattling out of him as I fumbled for my phone to call the paramedics.Matt said that Warhammer Guard was no more than five minutes away.Mordecai had to have five minutes.Matt looked like he didn’t know what to do as ben approached him. He was staring at Mordecai, shocked pale as Ben pointed a gun at him.“You’ve caused me nothing but trouble your entire fucking life,” Ben said.“You…” Matt breathed. “He… You… can’t… I…”Ben laughed again, “I didn’t think you were Mordecai’s type.”Matt turned, his eyes flashing brilliant red and I heard Lucas in his voice, “Shut your mouth, you sick fuck.”Ben stumbled back and his gun lowered just enough not to be aimed at Matt any longer. Alyssa pushed to the forefront of my mind. I felt her reaching for the dagger beneath my shirt. I heard Tzipporah’s voice in the back of my hand and knew what was a

    Matt’s POV The restaurant Ben chose was an upscale little place away from a main city. The entire building had been emptied out. Uriel warned us that Ben had armed people waiting around the area, but just outside their area of operation, I had stationed Warhammer Guard. If anyone wasn’t making it out of this alive it was Ben, Sonia, and Wade. “Matt, it’s so nice to see you,” Sonia said. “You should really come see your stepmother more.” I didn’t respond to her, “Odd that you’d bring her.” “I wanted it to be clear.” It was a ruse. He was hoping to keep the gunfire down from our side because she was here. “I figure the women can stay here and get acquainted,” Ben nodded upstairs, “I’ve had our table set up upstairs.” I turned to Glenda and pressed a kiss to her cheek. “Don’t eat anything,” I whispered, drawing back. I ushered her to her seat and pushed her up to the table before following Mordecai and Ben who were putting on airs about how close they were. Wade glared at me wit

I should have listened to Mordecai years ago about Matt. While he was headstrong, had I kept a hold on him he would have never crossed me like this.At the least, he wouldn’t have been caught and cost me so much. Wade’s ambition overrode his sense.“Have you anything to say for yourself, you little shit? Huh?”He choked and curled up. His injuries from

    He shrieked in agony and rolled off me. The sticky heat of his blood coated my hand. The metallic stench of it filled the air and I turned, screaming, driving my knife into whatever part of him I could reach. He choked and cried out. The scent of the dungeon filled my nose. Blood and more blood came spurting out and I remembered the sight of my blood pooled beneath me, spreading across the ground.Two, three, four, five…He choked and thrashed. His body wiggled and jiggled, but I kept going, counting each thrust of my dagger as I heard his voice in my memories offering me candy, taunting me, ordering me to serve him. I heard Armina screaming in pain and fear. I heard Angelia whimpering. I heard the last breath rattling out of a young girl whose face I could no longer remembe
