If Looks Could Kill Chapter 28
ALEXI Training with Luke is so therapeutic. I feel more at home here as the days go by. It also helps that since I have proved I can hold my own, the relationships with the others in the house seemed to have improved. I don't feel like such an outcast. Though, I do try to not bring up my father around them as much as possible. I've gotten close to some. Like Evan, for instance. I've almost taken him under my wing sort of speak since Luke seems to want to shield him from the world. He idolizes Luke, I found out. He wants to be like him, but Luke's always so busy, he never gets time with him. "Well, that won't do at all." I say to Evan. After he completed his errands for the morning. He shrugs. "The Alpha has a lot on his plate. I learn what I can. Eventually, I'll get to a spot where I'm part of it more." He smiled. "What about sparring?" I ask. "Luke loves to spar. You could train with him. That'll break the ice." Evan smiles. "I train, but I'm not allowed to spar with the guys.

LUKEIt's all fun and games before life gets in the way.I had almost forgot why Alexi was even here. To protect her from the Dragons before the trial.In order to prepare, we had to have a meeting.We waited on Bastian to show up at the packhouse.Alexi paced back and forth, chewing on her fingernail.I'm sitting at the large conference table. My eyes following her. "Alexi, sit.""I can't. I'm too nervous." She paces more."It'll be fine. We're just going over the game plan for the trial." I lean on the table."I know. I have to testify against my friends, Luke. This isn't sitting well in my stomach." She holds herself as she paces.I walk around the table and stop her in her tracks. "I know its shit, but it's a condition of your freedom. Once your cleared, my pack won't have anything to say about you. It's what we want, isn't it?""Yes, but it still hurts. I grew up with most of these people, Luke." She looks at me with worry in her eyes."I know, baby. Just try to calm down. We are
If Looks Could Kill Chapter 30
LUKEI scream into the night as I stare at the driveway entrance. I'm still on my knees with my arms flopped to my sides.What I tried to prevent, happened anyway. I couldn't protect Alexi. Now, she's in the hands of the Dragons. If I don't get her back soon, they're going to break her and I could lose her for good.Bobby walked up to me as I continued to stare at the road. "We'll get her back, but we're gonna need help. Those guys didn't look Lycan." He looked down on me.Not breaking my gaze from the road, I rise slowly to my feet. "No. They were Dragons.""Who was that guy?" He put his hands in his pockets."Torrent's First Commander and Alexis ex-lover. He's getting the Dragons back together and by the sounds of it, he's making Alexi his Luna." I turn my head to him. "I've got to get her back. This is could ruin her."Bobby nods. "We will, but like I said. We'll need help."I realize that if we're going to save Alexi, I can't let the alliance know she's in the hands of the Dragons
If Looks Could Kill Chapter 31
ALEXIWe drove for hours. No one would tell me where we were going. Nash just went on about how our rule will be great.I wasn't listening as I watch the scenery past the window. My eyes go wide. I recognize this road.I haven't been here in over a year.I sit up in my seat looking out the car window. "I'm home." My eyes wander all over."Yes, you are princess. Welcome home." I turn to Nash beside me. He's grinning.I don't know what to think. I missed home, but now that I know the secrets it possessed, it's bittersweet.We slowly enter the outskirts of the grand city my father ruled over.Homes black. Boarded. Falling apart. Children once played in these streets. Now they're reduced to rubble. Results of a war between the Dragons and the Alliance.I put my hand on the window. My people did not deserve the punishment they received for my father's greed."Hundreds died. Many more escaped with barely their lives." Nash says solemnly. "But with us as rulers we will rebuild everything.""

ALEXIAfter professing my acceptance to Nash, I was waited on hand and foot.She wolves doted on me getting ready the 'big night' they say, giggling like school girls.I internally vomit with every comment.As they brush my hair and tell me how much the Alpha will love me, I mentally prepare myself for what will be the most disgusting night of my life.True, I used to seek comfort in Nash before. But Luke ruined me for all men. I'll never feel arms like his again. I'll never soften to their touch quite the same. I'll never quiver at the feel of their lips. Nash's touch feels void of all feeling. There is no spark. No life. It fills me with nothing.My body will always cry for Luke's warmth. The electric wave of emotion that courses through my veins at his kiss. I'll never again see lights dance before my eyes as his power and strength consumes my core.If he should see me again, I'll be ashamed. Ashamed I allowed myself to be defiled in this way. The disappointment Luke will feel when

LUKE"ALEXI! YOU SON OF A BITCH!!" I scream.Nash jumps the railing, shifting to his white wolf during the fall to the grass below.I throw my guns to the floor, jumping straight into the air and clearing the railing of the balcony with an Alpha growl. Shredding my clothes as my extremely pissed off brown wolf lands on his paws on the ground right behind him.My wolf bounces quick, back into the air onto Nash's back.Nash spins, snarling and growling. He's biting at everything he can. My wolf tears at him. His head shaking with red hot fury when his jaws clamp on Nash's wolfs fur.Nash kicks me off and tries to run, but my wolf jaws grab his rear leg and throw him across the lawn. He recovers quickly and leaps at me.On hind legs, we clash. Fiercely biting at each other's heads. Teeth, drool and growls are thrown out viciously.Both of us have murder on the brain. Mines amplified when I hear Gavin over the mind link."She's not breathing!""Get the medics here now!" Bobby yells throug

ALEXIMy recovery was slow. I still had numbness in my spine, but each passing day I was feeling more normal.Luke filled in the details of the rescue. It sounded heroic and very dangerous. I slightly scolded him for such a bold effort."One of these days, Alpha, you're going to be too careless." I wag my finger at him.We're sitting in the common room. Luke has been doting on me since I woke up. He hands me a tea and wraps a blanket around my legs."I knew what I was doing. These dogs have more muscle than brains. It was easy." He smirks."Right. It sounded like a war." I laugh."It was a war. I'd fight a thousand guys to get you back." He sat back on the couch. "I almost killed everyone here because I had to wait for their slow asses....""Whatever...." Bobby came in from the dining hall. "If we let you go you would've gotten yourself killed." He sank into the couch across from us.Gavin walked in from his office. "Bastian's on the phone." He handed Luke his cellphone.Luke shakes h

LUKEWith the moon just a few weeks out, I'm starting to get nervous.Since the rescue of Alexi, we've gotten really close.She no longer has her own room. Today she's moving in to my room."You sure we should do this?" She asks. She's sitting on my bed as I clear space in my closet for her clothes.I flop my hands at my side. "A thousand time, yes. Alexi, its fine. You're my fated and there's no question about it.""Luke, I just don't want you to get too excited...." I cut her off by gliding across the room to her and grabbing her head.I kiss her quick. "No arguments." I warn and head back to the closet."Luke...." She sighs just as there is a knock at the door."It's open!" I yell.The door opens to a mound of dresses. "A little help...."Alexi runs over and scoops up some dresses. "What's all this?" She asks as she drops the dresses on the bed and Lucy drops her half of the mound.Lucy smiles. "Ball gowns." She turns to me. "You....out!" Pointing to the door."This is my room." I

LUKE"Hey, kids!......Josh, let's go!" I wave the boys all in from running around the open field of the park."Awe, come on, Uncle Luke." Josh stomps his feet as he and the other kids join the rest of us guys at the ceremony.I look down at him when he gets close placing my hand on his shoulder. "Cool the attitude, dude. This is Aunt Alexi's special day and you won't be ruining it for her."He looks down. "Okay." He mumbles."Good man." I clap his shoulder. I look to the other boys. "Now, you kids go find your moms. Don't need you guys getting all messed up before the ceremony." I arch a brow."Okay." Josh says. "Come on, guys." He waves at the kids and they run off between the white chairs set up in the park.I walk up the aisle with my hands in the pockets of my tux. Bobby, Jayson, Terry, River, Kale, Cass and Dea were all standing around at the altar."There he is." Bobby grins. "How ya doing, Alpha?""I thought I was gonna puke before the ball. This has got nothing on that. I'm go

ALEXI"Babe. Just pick a damn date." Luke's frustration is showing.They've all been harassing me for a date for the Luna ceremony and I just can't decide.I turn to him. "Don't get cross with me, Alpha. I just can't pick a date out of thin air."He throws his hands up. "Why not?""Because. I want it to be special. It has to mean something." I really want this to be perfect.He steps closer. "Isn't the ceremony special enough?"I cross my arms. "No. It's my only ceremony and I want it to be perfect. You should understand that.""Do you guys seriously have to do this right now?" Lucy says as she fights off a Lycan who has her in a headlock. She breaks apart from him and kicks him in the head. Sending him to the floor.Luke turns and delivers a left hook to a Lycan who falls into three other guys behind him. "Yes. We have to do this now. Moms on my case." He's jumped and taken down. After wrestling, he gets the upper hand and shoots the guy.I draw my weapon and fire at a Lycan who was

LUKEAs much as I'd love to bathe in Alexis sweet love forever, I have work I need to do as Alpha.This includes my first council meeting as the Alpha of Red Rock.I skipped my actual first meeting because I was really not prepared for it at all. Plus, Alexi and I had training at our new Enforcer Station to complete.So. Five months later, I walk in with Alexi to the upcoming council meeting.As we walk, I side eye her. She's dressed in a nice knee high, deep green dress. Her hair is pinned up and she's easily the sexiest Luna here.I kept my promise of no suit. A button-down shirt and jeans is the closest they'll get.I walk into the Council Building in Falcon Ridge with Alexi on my arm. We walk to the oversized double doors. They're open.There's a big plaque stating Council of Alphas now in session hanging on the wall.I look at Alexi. "Ready, Luna?" I give her a quick kiss."Ready, Alpha." She smilesI place a hand on her back and allow her to enter first."Alexi!' Anna waves from

LUKE"Alexi!"I chased after her to the tree line, but when I saw her dress explode into shreds of fabric, I knew it.It was over. That's it.I picked up some silk off the ground and stood there under the moon as it gracefully approached its peak. It's blue light casting down on me.I felt it too. Everything I felt for Alexi was amplified. The electricity and air around us increased. I felt the pull. This was it. I knew it.When I saw her face, though, everything changed.She looked scared, upset. She looked like she was rejecting me. She didn't want it. She didn't want me.My heart breaks as I look out to the trees where she ran away.Everything I thought, gone with one shift.Jayson and River walked up behind me. "Where'd she go?" Jayson asks.I threw the fabric on the ground. "Anywhere, but here." I turn around and walk to the limo."Take me home." I say to the driver as I get in and shut the door.Driving down the highway, I rest my mouth on my hand as I watch the scenery pass by.

LUKEMy heart is beating out my chest. You'd think it was a Luna ceremony or something.For the last 2 weeks, I've been carefully planning everything.The limo, the flowers, dinner all of it. This ball is going to be the best thing to happen to both of us.I stare in the mirror trying to tie my tie. I'm getting frustrated. I don't wear these things.I yank it off with a growl and hang my head trying to control my frustration.Lucy comes to check in. "Hey, big bro." She looks at me as I roll my head to her.She chuckles. "Can't do it, huh?""No. I don't get why we have to wear these stupid things." I whip it out at my side.She turns me around and takes the tie from me. "It just takes practice. You better get used it Mister council member."She flips my collar up. "I'm not wearing a suit to the council meetings. No way."She carefully knots the tie. "You should. It shows responsibility. Dad always wore a suit.""Yeah, well. This is one Alpha that doesn't need a stupid suit to prove he'

LUKE"Thanks!" Kale says from the wall as I hand him a beer. He's grinning that goofy smile of his."You're welcome. I haven't seen you much, man. Where ya been?" I lean on the wall beside him.He rubs the back of his head. "Oh, you know. I've been kind of preoccupied." He gives me a look.I know that look. "Dude, it's been almost a year, you guys can't still be locked in the bedroom." I chuckle.Jayson looks up from the pool table, stopping himself from taking his aim. "Do you even realize who you're talking to?" He shakes his head and aims for his pool ball. He shoots and misses the shot."Hey, I can't help it if my girl can't get enough." Kale smiles and puffs out his chest.River looks at Kale. "Don't drink it all in one shot, man. Trust me." He aims and sinks his ball.Michael's sitting at the bar. "Don't listen to him. He's just bitter that his not getting any." Kale and Jayson chuckle.River points his pool stick at him. "Watch it." He smirks.Michael makes an ooo I'm scared lo

ALEXISince Luke has pretty much decided I'm to be his Luna, I felt I should make my presence known among the other Lunas and Luke's friends. I have a lot to make up for and if we are to be a trusted member of the alliance, I need to offer an olive branch to the people I hurt.After much pestering, Luke finally agreed to let me have a luncheon with his friends and family."Can you move that table a little to left please." I direct the staff helping me set up the tables out in the garden where all the ladies will be.A staff girl presents the menu to me and I look it over. "It's lovely. Thank you." I send her on her way as Luke comes through the French doors."Wow. It's looking pretty fancy out here." He teases, giving me a kiss on my cheek.I breathe nervously. "Yes, well, I want everything to be perfect. This luncheon will be my chance to show your friends that I'm not the horrible monster they think I am.""You're not a monster, Alexi." Lucy comes out to the garden carrying a vase o
