Chicago Alpha Chapter 48: To Many Loose Ends
Clarissa's P.O.V."The child Maria Carmen was a human/fae hybrid, but she was murdered as a child, or so said the queen, who disappeared years after that."Alyssa's words rang in my ears, and I wasn't sure how to take what she was saying. Perhaps it was a different Maria Carmen. There was no way that any of that was true. "Maybe it's a different Maria Carmen.""Perhaps, but that is way too weird for words. Something that definitely needs to be checked into, eventually. If you are the child of Maria Carmen, there is a lot more that you need to be aware of." Alyssa looked at me with concern, and I was starting to wonder if my life was some ironic sitcom movie."Like what?" I groaned internally."Uh, like how the Fae world never approved of the hybrid notion being inflicted in their pure bloodline. That was why other Fae colonies tried to send hired assassins to murder Maria."My mouth formed an 'o' shape at hearing Alyssa, and I couldn't help but slowly nod. "Yeah, that can be seen as a
Chicago Alpha Chapter 49: Officially His Luna
Clarissa's P.O.V."As I will ever be, I guess." Taking a deep breath, I walked out of the library, ready for the next step of my life.The sun had set long ago, and within that setting, sunlight came the tiny twinkling lights along the grass that illuminated a small walkway. The girls stood behind me and ushered me to follow the path, and with a smile upon my face, I nodded. This was it.My feet moved slowly forward, and my eyes cast into the distance. I knew that Antonio was at the end of this walkway, and I was making my way towards him and our future. There was nothing more that I wanted than to spend the rest of my life with him. I couldn't stop thinking about everything that had happened over the past few months. From the first time I met him; to the first time he kissed me. The way his breath felt against my skin and the look in his eyes when he was staring at me. Nothing but utter happiness filled my soul when I was with Antonio. I felt safe; protected. I would love him for al
Chicago Alpha Chapter 50: Mexico
Antonio's P.O.V.Waking up, I couldn't help but smile as I thought of my beautiful mate. She was officially my Luna and the mother figure of the pack. She was beyond what I had ever dreamed of having for a mate and far more the woman anyone could have imagined her to be.Sure, she was different, but those differences were nothing that would change my opinion of her.Looking over to her side of the bed, I noticed the vacant spot and how cold the area felt. Knowing her, she probably had gone downstairs to get something to eat. Lord knows my mate loved Martha's cooking.Wasting no time, I quickly climbed from the bed and jumped in the shower. It would be a very long day, and there was so much that needed to be done.A knock came on my bedroom door as I was pulling on my shirt, and without being able to answer it, Joseph came barging into the room. I found myself shocked as to what would make him seem too frantic, "Joseph, what is the problem? You look pale, my friend." I chuckled and cont
Chicago Alpha Chapter 1: Prologue
The sharpness of him on my lips made the sensation of hunger run through me. I had the desire to gorge on him once more, but I knew that was just what he wanted.I could not breathe, and I could not get my mind back in check; it was as if he had done something to me. The distant roar of him was evident as he picked up my scent, its trail leading him right to the prize he desired."Fuck!" I cursed loudly as I pushed harder.My bare feet flying across the forest floor with unprecedented speed. There was pure fear that coursed through my very soul. The only thought I could comprehend between it all was that I didn't want to die.If he caught up to me, there would never be another chance to escape. He would eliminate me if he could not have me, and the only thing I could think of was, how could I be so stupid?I had become a victim in his mind games and made a fool of myself. I should never have gone off alone and unprotected.My heart throbbed at the loss of him, but my mind reminded me o
Chicago Alpha Chapter 2: Late as Always
Clarissa's P.O.VSleep--- What is sleep? It was something I knew nothing of, at least not without pestilent dreams. However, there was something about dark chocolate that seemed to settle the pallet well. I could not deny that I was addicted.Rotating the square piece of chocolate in my hand, I gazed at it with a soft smile on my face. Intense Dark Chocolate- 72% cocoa. My mouth watered, reading the label, but my blue eyes gazed towards the café door, chiming as it opened, pulling me out of my satisfaction.The sounds of the wading crowds outside came trickling through the front door—It was coffee time, as my shirt so gladly described. There was never a time in my life that I could remember not liking the hot refreshing beverage. Growing up in the south, you learn to love things that would not be so common at a young age. If I remember correctly, I could almost picture the young brown-haired, blue-eyed girl taking her first sip of her grandmother's coffee.The memory was so good I cou
Chicago Alpha Chapter 3: The lovely Mr. Robbins
Why did fate hate me so much?Fate had given me a gorgeous specimen of a man as my boss—well, boss of my boss.Yet, here I was making a horrible first impression.Putting on a front, I made my way to my cluttered desk. There was a method to my madness, even if my secretary would tell you otherwise.From the moment I walked into the room, I felt his watchful eyes on my figure. The sensation causing the hairs on the back of my neck to rise as my eyes darted towards the corner of my eye, trying to remain composed."Mr. Robbins— to what do I owe the pleasure?" I returned with a professional and questioning smile. He seemed to think over my remark while I pulled out my files and laid them on my desk. It was not typical for someone in his position to speak with the company's Junior Editor.I was just the paper girl doing the editors' job when she did not feel like doing it. A soft knock came from the door as Ashley, the receptionist, entered carrying a brown coffee cup. She was an astonishi
Chicago Alpha Chapter 4: Meeting the Alpha
Alpha Antonio's P.O.V.~2 Hours before~ "Another," I ordered the bartender, who looked at me with wide eyes, shaking his head. He never questioned me. Every evening at this time, I stopped by the restaurant after work and got dinner and drinks. There was no one for me to rush home to. There was no place for me to be. I was the Alpha of Chicago's most prominent pack. Taking care of business was something I did on a regular basis. Most werewolf fans will tell you that werewolves live in mansions and do not work out in the ordinary world. They portray pictures of us just merely not existing with humans.It was all completely wrong.The world has always been full of otherworldly creatures. Werewolves, elves, vampires, and other weird figures.We don't hide like most would assume. We have just learned that it is not anyone's business, but ours. If we decided to share our existence with the world, we would, but it is not like we go out of our way. Humans were daft creatures an
Chicago Alpha Chapter 5: A Night Out
Clarissa's P.O.V.I was glad that it was Saturday, but there was no glimmer of hope of getting sleep once again. This time, it wasn't nightmares that plagued my mind, though. It was the image of the strange man and the event I saw unfold that bothered me. Claws. Claws. Claws. At least, that is what my mind tried to tell me I witnessed. Perhaps work was causing me to lose my edge. Too many shifter novels, and late night sessions of binge reading. Letting out a sigh, my eyes cast towards the clock on my nightstand, watching the flashing red lights read half-past four in the evening. I was well aware of who had been blowing up my phone earlier in the evening. Deciding not to avoid the situation any longer, I picked up my phone and dialed Alyssa's number. The phone rang once as I heard the screeching voice on the other end, "Where the hell have you been?!" "I was asleep. Jesus, what was so important you had to blow my phone up thirty-two times?" The annoyance was clear in my voice as I

Clarissa's P.O.V.Antonio's playful nature was a godsend when recovering from everything. My feet graced the steps two at a time as I jogged down the stairs, coming face to face with Leah."Can I speak with you?"Raising a brow, I nodded out of curiosity. There wasn't much conversation that had ever happened between this girl and me, and I didn't understand what she would have to say to me now."What's up?""I wanted to apologize for everything. I shouldn't have acted as I did, and I feel horrible." Crossing my arms, I stared at her as she continued apologizing, "I was under the impression that Diana was my friend. We used to tell each other everything, and when she left, she said it was because Antonio was hurting her and that he was cruel. I never thought she would lie to me like that."Hearing that Diana had portrayed my mate as a man that hurt women boiled my blood. How dare she taint my mate's image? Listening to Leah, I began to realize that she was played, and even though she ha
Chicago Alpha Chapter 46: Taking It All In
Antonio's P.O.V.Sitting here watching Clarissa's beautiful face brought tears to my eyes; she seemed so carefree and joyful. Clarissa laughed with Alyssa and the others as if nothing terrible had ever happened to her, and I didn't know what it was to have such a carefree life. The whites of her teeth sparkling in the sunlight as Alyssa said something else, and the giggling fit would begin once again. Clarissa was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, and there was nothing I wouldn't do for her. The sun shone down on her bare flesh as she warmed herself in the rays of light.Thomas and Leah kicking a ball back and forth to each other in the distance before Cassio scoops up a screaming Alyssa and drops her into our pool. Everything was falling into place, and yet I couldn't stop thinking about the truth.When we found Clarissa in her father's home, she changed.Clarissa was still the same woman, but she was so much different from the scared girl I once knew. Clarissa had grown into
Chicago Alpha Chapter 45: Home Sweet Home
Clarissa's P.O.VThere was nothing like being back in our bed. It didn't matter where a person could travel in the world; at the end of the day, being back in your bed was pure happiness. Antonio's strong arms wrapped around my waist and brought me closer to him as he inhaled the scent of my hair deeply. "Good Morning, beautiful."Smiling, I rolled over and looked at him, "Good Morning, sir." There was no use in trying to forget what had happened in Florida. My father and Brantley worked together to destroy my life and that of every other supernatural creature. Alyssa said that she had learned a lot going through Torrez's documents.It turns out Torrez had been working for years trying to turn the inner circle against us and anyone who wasn't a pure wolf. He was doing it for control. Infiltrate and take down the top from the inside. Antonio was adamant that, when we first got home, there would be no discussion of everything that happened, but Alyssa and I both knew that there needed t
Chicago Alpha Chapter 44: Wrath of a Luna Part Two
Clarissa's P.O.V.My blades swung freely as I maneuvered through the array of bodies. The rush of adrenaline that coursed through me fueled my vengeful desires. My mind replayed the events of everything that had happened, and the one thing I was more sure of than anything was that Antonio was mine.Love was the emotion that overwhelmed me the most, and as the last specks of blood spattered against my skin, I saw him.Antonio stared at me with wide eyes, but love held him in place. A smile decorated his lips, and the stubble of worry that crossed his chin was enough to make a girl fluster. "Clarissa..." when he said my name, it was as if he couldn't believe I was before him. Before a word could leave my mouth, a cry escaped my lips as a searing pain rippled through me. Looking down, I saw the silver of a blade sticking from my body. It was quickly jerked back, and I looked up into the eyes of Antonio, who seemed paralyzed with panic before screaming out, "Clarissa! No!"I didn't die, l
Chicago Alpha Chapter 43: Wrath of a Luna Part One
Clarissa's P.O.V.Nadia had prepared my appearance, but no one could prepare me mentally for what I would be walking into. There was nothing that could prepare me for that. Imagine waking up one morning expected for your day to be as typical as it always was, and in the blink of an eye, it's something else.I always thought of destiny as something we created for ourselves, but I have learned that destiny is also something that others can help create for you. There was a time when I would have given anything to be that girl a man would do anything for. Right now, though, I wished I would have just been alone. I hated the fact that Antonio and the others were walking into a trap.There was no doubt in my mind that they were on their way or already here waiting to set me free. It was just a matter of time, and even though they were skilled warriors; no one is immune from death.Walking down the long white hallways, my eyes cast to the floor; I allowed the guard to lead me to where Brantl
Chicago Alpha Chapter 42: Determination
Antonio's P.O.V.Torrez's property looked like something off of MTV's Cribs, and the luxury he had spent on the home was outrageous. I could feel a surge of emotions from the property in front of me, and I knew Clarissa was there.Alyssa and Cassio had set off moments ago to scope the outside of the property, and while I waited on their return, it took everything in me for Zeus not to run wild. Clarissa was my beautiful mate, and I felt guilty for not telling her enough; for not telling her that I loved her enough. I couldn't begin to imagine what it would be like if I got in there and she was dead. The thought of her death sent despair through my soul and made Zeus cry out in pain. "Antonio." Joseph's voice pulled me from my thoughts, and I turned around to see him standing with Alyssa and Cassio. "What did you find?""It looks like the south entrance will be the best way in. It's water access for the most part and is the least guarded. Probably because they don't think we would lo
