LUKE

After thinking about it for days, I figured, the only way for me to catch her, is for her to catch me. She's a hunter and I'm the Alpha for her wall. I'll need to leave myself open for her to do that though.

So, I walk the streets. Aimlessly. Carefully looking down alleys and dark sidewalks.

Like a worm on a hook, I dangle myself in front of her. As well as every other dirtbag in this town, but that's beside the point.

I hope to catch her soon. I'm kind of running out of ways to not look suspicious here. There's only so much window shopping and menu reading a guy can do before people realize he's full of shit.

I decide, maybe I should just hang out. I stop at an alley that's next to a taxi stand. This way it looks like I'm waiting for a cab. I pull out my wireless headphones and open my Spotify app. I hit play on a song I've been playing a lot this last six months. 'Jekyll and Hyde' by Five Finger Death Punch. I put my foot on the wall as I lean on it. I stuff my hands in my jack

    ALEXI"We hit the packhouse! It's the only way to take over this town." Ian yells."Bro, you're insane! It's suicide! We wouldn't get past the fucking security. We hit the town. Take the pack then the house. He'll have to give it up if he has nothing left." A large guy named Falcon, slammed his fist on the table. He stands and rubs his shaved head. "You know I'm right." Falcon is Ian's second in command. He was the second in command to the former Lycan leader, but when Ian killed him, he followed right along."Luke Jackson is our main threat. We show him who's the true Alpha. Bring the fight to him. If we don't show our power now, we will not be taken seriously when we take the pack. When the pack sees their Alpha Aire on his knees, they'll beg for their lives. Beg to me." Ian thumped his finger onto his chest.Falcon shook his head. "This isn't the time for personal vendettas, Ian. You're getting sloppy."Ian jumped the table and grabbed Falcon by the throat. "I'll show you sloppy!!"

    LUKE I scrub my hands over my face. I'm leaning on my desk with all my evidence spread out. The photo of the pendent, the video, the articles. All of it. Laid out like a code I have to break. I know who she is, but I want to know why I fucking like her so much. I should want to slit her throat. Her family has killed so many people and here I am wanting to slam her down on my bed and have my way with her. I look at everything. Trying to figure out why I'm so attracted to her, when a knock came on my door. "Just a minute." I quickly gather everything and throw it in a drawer. I clear my throat and sit at my desk normally. "Come." I bark. My father pokes his head in. "Settled in?" He walks in with his hands in his pockets. I look around. "I guess so. I'm not really the office type." "Listen, son. I know things have not been the greatest here. With this town and with me. And I know you believe that I don't care...." He looks at the floor. I sit back. "No....dad...that's not it, ok.

    LUKE Dust clouds rise from the dumpster as I dump a box of wood, drywall and trash into it. My shirtless chest is dripping with sweat. My jeans covering in dirt and dust. I stop and grab a bottle of water. I take a drink. It's hot today, but my body isn't hot from the sun. Rage fills me. The thought that Ian almost killed everyone I've ever known, has me salivating for blood. I will get that blood, but I need to take care of my people first. For my own mental stability, I will rebuild my own house. Show Ian that I'm not going anywhere. It's been a few days since the attack. I spent the early morning checking in with everyone to see how they’re holding up. Joshua has been having nightmares every night. I don't blame him because so have I. I settled my mother and called the Falcon Ridge hospital. Lucy is almost healed. Bobbys spine is healing slower than expected, but he's gained a tiny bit of feeling. I look at the plastic draping the gaping hole of the house I grew up in, blowing

    ALEXII've been watching the Alpha all day. The destruction of his home was not what I had expected. He's on my list of targets, but seeing him in such pain has my heart mourning for him.I watched him as he struggled with his leadership. Doubting himself. Telling his friend how weak he feels. It hurt me to hear such talk because I know how much of a leader he could be.I feel a twinge of guilt. When I agreed to Ian's attack on the packhouse, I wasn't aware this is what they meant to do.Destroying a man's home, with little ones inside, is beyond deplorable. I feel like I should let the Alpha know I see no honor in this.I didn't move all day. I sat and watched over him. Somewhere inside, I felt I needed to be present in case the Lycans attacked him again.In the dark of night, I may have moved a little too close as he sensed my presence."Come out." He barked.I cautiously approach. Showing him, I mean no harm. I remove my hood and step into light.He never looks at me. "What do you

    LUKEI couldn't sleep so I had to preoccupy my mind.Alexi showing up the other day did not sit well with me. The fact that she tried to pity me, pissed me off to no end. She knows who did this and where they are, yet she chooses them for some reason.I don't even know why she'd even feel sorry for me anyway. Every time we see each other, she wants to fucking kill me. Yet, she's always letting me go. You'd think she'd be happy to see my life like this. I know her dad would just love this shit.It frustrates me to no end that I can't read her. She hates me, threatens me, but then cares whether I got hurt or not?I felt sick yelling at her. But I couldn't help it. Who she is. Who she hangs with, I can't deal with that. I know, as Alpha, I should just turn her in. Get her the fuck out of my life forever. But there's this part. This one fucking part that's stopping me from calling the damn Unit. It's like a voice in the back of my mind that says don't.My wolf has been going crazy too the

    ALEXII twirl Luke’s keys around my finger as I walk into the hunting cabin.I drop the bag I'm carrying on the table. I open it and pull out some food, three guns and a bunch of silver bullets. These guns will be for those who aren't important.I sit on the floor and eat. As I do my mind travels to the night with Luke. It's been two days since and I've dreamed about it every night. The walls in my mind are starting to crack. I couldn't be there when he woke or they'd be destroyed and I can't have that.I pull out my phone and pull up the map of the Caledon Boot Camp. I orient myself and search for the building which holds my target.I'm staring at my phone when a flash of Luke's strong back comes to my mind. I shake my head.I zoom in and swipe the map around. I study the area around the buildings intently.Lukes arms wrapping around me flash now. Ugh....I shut my phone off and shove it in my pocket."Come on, Alexi." I stand up and pace. "It wasn't even that good."I'm lying to myse

    ALEXIIt's quiet.My victory is close. I can almost taste it.The camp is dark except for a few outdoor lights. Everyone tucked in bed after the days training.Standing on top of the dorm building, I disable the alarm and pick the lock of the roof door, letting myself in. I walk down the stairs to the floor Anna Rikers room is on. I slowly walk down the hall.I'm silent like a wolf stalking its prey. Years of stealth training from my father are proving useful now.I turn down a hall and hear voices. I plant myself against the wall with my gun drawn. I slow my breathing as the voices approach.The two girls were laughing and giggling. They walk past the hall I was in without even a glance. Once past, I blow out a breath. I look down the hall and continue to look at the numbers on the doors. After several, I find it. Room 401. I look up and down the hall again and pick the lock.I open the door and slip in silently. Shutting the door behind me, I raise my gun. I search around the room.

    LUKE"Are you fucking insane!" River yells in my face.I tick my jaw. "Back the fuck up!" I warn. Pushing my already puffed out chest into his.Jayson gets between us. Shoving River back. "Luke, what's going on, man?"I turn, rubbing my head. I can't tell them that I've been falling for a girl that tried to kill one of the most famous Alliance Alphas."Nothing." I grumble.River pushes past Jayson. "You fucking tell us!" He aggressively points a finger at me.Spinning around, I shove a finger back in his face. "I'll fucking kill you if you don't back the fuck off me!" I growl. My face is twisted with anger and stress.Dea grabbed River's arm. Putting himself between him and me. "Dude, back off alright. Calm down a bit.""Calm down!" River pushes against Dea. "Hes dating a fucking psychopath and you want me to fucking calm down?""We're not dating." I grind. At least I don't think we are.River glares. "Fine. You're sleeping with a lunatic. That better?"I turn, scrubbing a hand down m

    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.

    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

    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

    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
