Beauty and the Alpha Prologue
The doorknob rattled as the big, meaty hand pawed at it, even though it was locked. The shouting and cursing coming from the other side of the door made the little boy whimper in fear. He was huddled under the window with the little baby clasped tightly to his chest. He was watching as the young woman yanked clothes off the hanger and threw them into a large tote bag that had the name of a local grocery store printed on the side. She threw open the dresser drawer, yanking out the child's clothes before moving on to the baby's clothes in a different drawer. She grabbed the half empty pack of diapers from the floor, stuffing them in the bag, as well. A loud thump against the door made the woman jump and the little boy cry out in fear. The baby was wailing; loud, gusty sobs. The young had jammed furniture in front of the door, but she wasn't sure how long it would hold up against the weight of the angry man on the other side. He had strength but thankfully he was out of shape and dr
Beauty and the Alpha One
Greer Blackstone had always been a little afraid of the dark. When she was a small child, she had feared whatever monsters might be under her bed. After she had turned ten, she started fearing the monsters in her mother's bed. Now, at the ripe old age of eighteen, she feared the dark because of what it brought. Deafening silence. Time alone with her thoughts and with her fears. No distractions from the worries plaguing her. No reprieve from the hell of her mental anguish. Just the dark, the silence, and her thoughts. Greer rises up on her elbow to move the candle that she had just lit further away from where she and the kids lay curled up on the floor in the corner of the creepy, nasty room. She could not risk it blowing out or worse, falling over and starting a fire. It had taken her forever to get the candle lit, considering how drafty it was and that the lighter was running out of fluid. She once again wished she'd had the time to grab flashlights, matches, blankets, and othe
Beauty and the Alpha Two
Greer woke up a few hours later to a strange sound. After the horrible nightmare that she'd had, she was disoriented at first. She breathes in deep and moves her arms. She is so terrified after that dream that she just lays there for a moment, completely forgetting about the sound that had awoken her until she hears it again. She sits up quickly and looks around, unable at first to make out anything in the pitch black darkness. Eventually, her eyes seem to adjust and with the faint hint of light peaking around the door, she is able to make out the figure of the child. Hunter sits huddled in the far corner of the room, sobbing. Greer lays the baby down on the piles of clothing before she runs over to comfort the little boy. “What's wrong, baby?” She asks Hunter, crouching down in front of him. “I'm scared.” She hears the fear in his voice and sees his little body shutter. He blinks a few times and the tears spill down his cheeks. She feels her heart seize. This poor child has b
Beauty and the Alpha Three
Greer tries not to let her fear show as she follows the beta through the dark forest. She thinks that they are heading towards the alpha's house when he sets off walking, but after maybe an eighth of a mile, he veers off. He helps her over large roots and uneven ground by lifting the stroller for her. He keeps up steady conversation, mostly with Hunter, but he takes care not to exclude Greer. She knows what he is doing, trying to put her at ease. He can more than likely smell her fear, although considering how jumpy she is, he can probably just see it as well. “Almost there.” The sound of his voice has her lifting her head and she sees the trees parting up ahead. This land is unfamiliar to her and she guesses that the pack must have acquired more land over the years. Once they have passed through the trees, she sees a huge mansion of a house looming up in front of them. It has to be at least two or three stories tall and as wide as a hotel. Greer can not imagine how many rooms
Beauty and the Alpha Four
Heath catches the girl as she slumps forward with the baby in her arms. Liam is across the room in less than a second, picking the baby up and golding it against him as he checks her for injuries. The baby is unharmed. Shit. This was just what he needed, Liam thinks to himself. A mysterious rogue girl with a bruised up face and half starved children showing up on his doorstep. To top it all off, the girl keels over when he enters the room, causing an even bigger headache for him to deal with. He has yet to get answers from her as to why she is here. His father has left him in charge of the pack for the first time and then here she comes, fucking everything up for him. As soon as he thinks that, Liam begins to feel bad for the uncharitable thoughts that he is having about this girl. He is just having a bad day, which had put him in a foul mood. There was no need for him to take it out on this girl and her kids, though. Even if she was a rogue, trying to sneak into his pack. Feeli
Beauty and the Alpha Five
To run to the hospital only takes three minutes if you cut through the trees but since he is taking the roads, it takes him much longer. He makes it to the hospital nine minutes later. He grabs the kids and rushes to the nurses' station in the emergency room. The nurse, Karrigan Patterson, looks at him and the kids curiously as he runs up to the desk. “Hey Liam, I will need you to fill out the paperwork for her if you are with her. But for now, I will take you to her and just bring the papers in later.” She smiles at the little boy, who just looks at her. “Right this way.” She leads them to a door down the hall and with a light knock, she pushes the door open and stands back, giving them room to enter. Liam steps into the room, with the boy tucked behind him. He wants to make sure it was alright for the boy to look before he lets him fully come in. No need to traumatize the kid more than he already is. Liam sees the girl lying on the bed with IV tubes coming out of her. She looks
Beauty and the Alpha Six
Liam was taking the woman to get the things that she will need for her and the children, whether she likes it or not. The little brown headed boy is filthy; his clothes are stained and tattered. He has dirt all over him and he looks like he hasn't had his hair washed properly in a while. He needs new clothes to wear, if nothing else. Liam knows that she is hesitant and wary. He even understands. She doen't know him, so why should she trust him? He gets where she is coming from, but he can not see turning down something you and your kids need, out of misplaced pride. That is like cutting off your nose to spite your face. It makes no sense. Liam grabs a shopping cart and puts the baby carrier across the basket, securing it with the safety strap. Once he has the baby carrier fastened to the cart he moves aside so that the girl could push the cart. He holds the little boy's hand and they walk beside her. She gives the two of them an odd look when she sees that the child is willing to
Beauty and the Alpha Seven
Greer turns around to look at the man who has spoken. He is nice looking, with short blonde hair and beautiful green eyes. He is heavily muscled, tall, and broad. The man looks to be in his late twenties or early thirties. He is smiling at her, so she feels rude for not responding, so she says rather awkwardly “Oh, um, thank you." “I'm Hayes, by the way.” “Nice to meet you, Hayes.” She sees Hunter and Liam coming toward her, so she says to him, “Excuse me.” She pushes her cart towards them without waiting for a response from the man, smiling at Liam lovingly. She hopes the man will get the wrong idea or in this case the right 'wrong' one. “A few minutes, huh?” Liam grins sheepishly, “We kind of got caught up looking at the movies. Since he never had toys I figured he probably didn't have an extensive DVD collection either, so we got a few.” He holds up a huge stack of Disney movies and other animated movies. “We got a few movies for you too, but since we didn't know what you li

Beauty and the Alpha Twenty One
Greer sits up in bed, gasping for breath. Liam is beside her whispering, “Shh... shh.. it's okay, baby, it was just a nightmare.” Greer looks around, seeing the children safe beside her, before she looks at Liam, beside her in nothing but his boxers. Lyle isn't here and neither is Shera. It was just a dream. She is breathing heavy from fear but she is trying to calm herself down. Liam wraps his arms around her and pulls her into his warm, bare chest. Hunter is against the wall like always and Gemma is in the middle between them. Greer picks the baby up into her arms and moves her over so that she and Liam can lay down. She looked at him, “Lie with me, please.” He nods his head and adjusts himself on the bed, so that he is laying down beside of her. She lays back in his arms with her head in the crook of his shoulder. Her breath fans his chest. Gemma is beside Hunter, sleeping peacefully, so Greer turns over to face Liam. Her hand is resting on his flat stomach, her legs tangle
Beauty and the Alpha Twenty
“What?” “You heard me. Do you want to stay here with me forever?” Liam asks her needing to know if that is something she can even imagine before he tells her everything. “I, um-” “Yes or no, baby. There is no right or wrong answer here.” Liam says. “If you want us to-” Greer knows the exact answer that she wants to give him she just does not think that she is brave enough. She has never been one that can just put herself out there. She always has to hold a little of herself back so that if she gets hurt, at least it isn't every part of her that gets damaged. She still has something to go on. But Liam is asking her for everything. If she answers him truthfully then she will be handing him her whole heart. And that terrifies her. “This is not about what I want, Greer. This is about what you want. You are the only one that gets to make decisions for you and the children. I will not try to pressure you into anything you don't want. If you don't want to stay forever, that does not
Beauty and the Alpha Nineteen
Time flies by as they sat there, playing together as, well, a family. They weren't a family though, he has to keep telling himself. He glances at his watch, “It's time for us to get ready. I'll watch the kids while you take a shower.” Greer nods and leaves the room. He looks at Hunter playing with the toys and the little boy looks back at him with a smile. Liam smiles back at the kid. The boy just needs positive male attention. Somebody with a Y chromosome to love him instead of scare him. Greer had done her best, but how could a teenager be expected to raise a child in a small bedroom, without any form of help? He looks at Hunter, then at Gemma in his lap and was, not for the first time, totally in awe of Greer. Greer was a survivor, there was no doubting that. She could handle anything life threw at her and clearly come out on top. He knows that she is scared of Lyle. She is worried about him and Shera showing up, but Brody wants her to have faith in him. Could she trust him t
Beauty and the Alpha Eighteen
Greer wakes up a few hours later when it is still very early morning. Now is the perfect time to go while the baby is still asleep. She was beginning to sleep through the night, not wanting bottles at all hours. Greer figures that the routine and stability that they found in this pack house contributed greatly to that but she pushes that thought away. Yeah, life is good here but they will just have to make a better life somewhere else, she tells herself. Greer rolls out of the bed, trying not to disturb the children. She doesn't want to wake them until they are leaving. She goes to the armoire, pulling out the bags she had carried her stuff in before. She opens it and begins stuffing clothes in it. She pulls out the stroller and props it against the bed. She stuffs all the baby's sleepers in there and Hunter's clothes as well before she grabs her warm shirts. She looks at the dresses Liam had bought; he had given them to her as a surprise a few days ago. Greer feels like crying.
Beauty and the Alpha Seventeen
They about their day and she tries her best to act normally. Tomorrow afternoon is when Belinda was due to return and Greer has made up her mind that she is leaving in the morning. Maybe with her gone, they will choose to let Belinda keep thinking that she was dead. If she has finally made her peace with it, then there is no use upsetting the apple cart now. She knows that Hunter will be so upset. He loves Liam and the house; loves what seemed like a real home and family. Yet, it isn't their home and they aren't a part of Liam's family. It will be horrible leaving, especially since she is pretty sure that she had fallen in love with Liam. But she has to go. She kept to herself as Liam's family was there. She talked and was polite, but any chance she got to excuse herself for a moment, she took it. She went to the bathroom five times while they were there, just because she needed to take a breath and to tell herself that she was not part of them. Even if they made her feel like s
Beauty and the Alpha Sixteen
It does not take them long to go through the store and get everything on Adam's list. Within twenty minutes they are finished and back in his truck. Ten minutes of shopping and ten minutes of him talking to the beautiful girl that stopped him at the door. Greer figures that she was a girlfriend before and wants to be again, judging by all the possessive 'hands off, he belongs to me' looks that the girl was giving her. Greer has questions about her but she does not ask them. She has no right to. After Liam says goodbye to the girl, they go to the truck. Greer feels good because the whole time they were talking to the obviously interested girl, Liam never left her out. He kept his hand on her back the whole time, he included her in the conversation by asking her questions about whatever subject they were discussing. But her favorite part was when he had slung his arm around her shoulders and said, “Come on, honey. We have to get back to the kids. Dad and Hunter will be driving Mom
Beauty and the Alpha Fifteen
Greer watches Liam as he cuddles Gemma close and kisses her hair. He carries her to his mom, handing her over when Bella holds out her arms. Adam comes over to inform Liam that the whole family is coming over for supper and that he needs them to run to the store in town and pick up a few things. Adam turns to Greer, “I need you to ride with him and make sure he gets everything. Don't worry about to kiddos, they are fine here. We will take good care of them. Becca should be home in a few minutes, she just went to visit some friends that she missed while we were gone but when she gets back, she will drag out all kinds of toys for him. She goes crazy over kids.” Greer smiles at the alpha, but inside she is very aprehensive about leaving the children with anyone but especially people they don't know. Yet about the time that she opens her mouth to decline is the same time that Hunter comes over to Adam and tugs on his shirt. “Yeah, buddy?” Adam asks the child with a big smile. “Liam
Beauty and the Alpha Fourteen
Greer improves substantially over the next week and a half. Liam makes her take her medicines on time and keeps a drink constantly in front of her, forcing her to drink. Eventually her werewolf healing must have been slighly activated by being in a pack and with his burgeoning alpha aura, because she is healed completely and she has more strength than she ever has before. Besides all that, her senses are sharper. Each day she can see and hear better than before. Ebony had filed the petition with the human courtsand they were suppose to hear something today. Ebony was confident in the ruling though. Greer not so much. If she wasn't granted guardianship then Shera could come and get the kids whenever she wanted. Greer knows herself well enough to know that she'd do something desperately crazy before she let Lyle and Shera get the kids. Not wanting to dwell on it, she had tried to keep her mind off the ruling for the last few days. It only worked about thirty-seven point two percent
Beauty and the Alpha Thirteen
The boy had heard the man's steps on the landing, so he invited him into the room. Liam enters the room, clearly about to say something, but just then he sees her and he just stops in the doorway where he proceeds to stare at her with his mouth ajar. Once he seems to realize that he is standing their like an imbecile with his mouth hanging open, he shakes himself, “I'm sorry. I didn't know you were, um, not dressed.” “It's quite alright. You were invited into the room,” Greer shoots Hunter a mock glare, then smiles at him as the little boy grins at her, unabashed. Liam watches the by-play between the siblings but he can not focus on the exchange. The only thing on his mind is how the sigh of her has caught his attention. Greer stands beside the shower with only a damp towel covering her. Liam watches as drops of water cut paths across her skin and he wishes that he could replace that drop of liquid with his finger tips. That the soft pads of his fingers could brush her skin in
