Cal Gets What He Wanted

In the Chains of the Alpha Proven Right
Tara couldn’t understand his anger. She’d done everything she could to follow his wishes. She’d done nothing to shirk his authority or will. After such a stressful evening, Tara wasn’t sure if she could do this. Between her struggles to stay reasonably rational and her twisted enjoyment of what he did to her. It culminated into her, finally crumbling into a blubbering mess. Tara could no longer convince herself he’d change his mind and face the fact she was too far in over her head and her world now was unrecognizable to her. No one but Eddie ever truly wanted to keep her around, and now Cal was the second. She couldn’t stop crying, especially when Cal halted whatever this was. Play or punishment and sat her up. Tara cried herself into exhaustion and faded into sleep. When she surfaced again, it was still the wee hours of the night, and she was in bed. Cal lay beside her with his arm, holding her back to his front in a spoon shape. Tara felt drained
In the Chains of the Alpha Hearing Each Other
Don’t fit in? Cal couldn’t believe he heard her correctly. His pack was far from the blood bloods or the elite. The only reason he walked in those circles was to keep his control over his part of the city by maintaining his image of wealth and influence. “Really? Do you believe every night is like that for me? That I throw back five thousand dollar bottles of champagne every night? No, I’m perfectly happy here with my draft beer and single malt whiskey. You won’t be obligated to do things like that as often as you believe. Or do you believe no one in this pack will come to love and trust you?” Tara listened to Cal, but with her anxiety in overdrive, she saw everything and everyone acting against her. But she wasn’t sure if that was true or just panic caused by her anxiety. “I don’t know anymore.” She wasn’t crying, because she was afraid this admission would anger him. “I lead my pack with the woman and people I choose. The pack doesn’t have a say in it. Their job is
In the Chains of the Alpha Formulating a Plan
Cal was beating on a bag during morning training, but his eyes kept shifting across the way to where Tara worked out. He’d changed when and where her brother trained. Eddie was doing well so far, but Cal didn’t want to jinx it or have Eddie guilt Tara into doing something stupid. He’d noticed quickly that Eddie played into Tara’s caregiver nature for his comfort and ease, but Cal didn’t like how Tara kept giving until she had nothing left for her and she hurt herself. He’d never felt like this about a female, ever. It had to be the mating bond of fated mates. Yeah, he was protective, but never to this extent. At this rate, he’d have to take over her training or leave the area while she trained, just to avoid the urge to protect her from any harm she might incur from her training. That was something that took Cal by surprise. She showed improvement in many ways. Elmwood was an idiot. Tara was better at fighting than Eddie. She showed the potential of being a hidden po
In the Chains of the Alpha Reaching a Hand Out
Cal sat in his office, still worked up from the training session and the news of how stupid Elmwood was. He’d reported and called everyone he needed to. Now, he debated if it was smart or stupid to warn Elmwood he knew what was coming and Elmwood’s eventual failure was a clear cut fact. Cal even contacted the human police to warn them they were aware of the trouble coming and humans shouldn’t be involved. Steps were being taken to prevent harm to humans and property. It felt odd to inform a human candidly about this. Cal knew the officer he’d spoken to. They’d dealt with each other human to human before this. Now the officer was unsure how to deal with this change. Cal answered his questions after hearing the human male go on and on about why he couldn’t understand why Cal didn’t trust with the truth. Cal used NARC’s laws as the reason. The human droned on with his many questions until he stopped and asked an interesting question. “I know this might be
In the Chains of the Alpha Again With the Rules Changing
“Are you ready for lunch?” Cal stood now, showered, and dressed for the day at the Luna’s office, beside the kitchen. He hated it here. It was like she was nothing but a servant. He knew the reasoning for the Luna’s offices near the pack’s kitchens and yet he felt her situation tied his hands. It’s placement confused things, and he wasn’t sure how to make things clear. Jaxon warned him from moving to her office because the pack might see that as her putting herself above them and out of reach to them. Yet it reminded her of how humble her previous existence was, and he feared it would affect her growth. He felt that was nonsense, but it could cause problems for them they didn’t need. She had a hard enough problem believing that she could do her job and belong to the pack. Cal knew he needed to find something that could bond her to him and gain her trust. He just didn’t want to create a lie or commit a stunt to do that. But what could get her and the pack on the same pa
In the Chains of the Alpha First Attempt was a Failure
Tara wasn’t sure what Cal was trying to prove to her while eating in the pack’s dining room. The only people that approached wanted to speak to Cal, Jaxon, or Rachel. Tara sat there, bored out of her skull, and feeling utterly useless. It was embarrassing for her. She caught Rachel giving her pitying looks several times, and no one at the table felt comfortable. Tara could see they were looking at her like she was his toy and not his mate. This was backfiring on all of them. They were a team, the leaders of the pack. She was a stranger, and she was overstepping her bounds. There was no confidence or even interest in who she was. “I hope you don’t mind, but I have a few things to get back to. You’re a little busy here. See you later.” Tara made to leave. All she wanted to do was hide in that little room they called her office. At least there she’d be out of everyone’s way. “Stop right there, Tara. I didn’t give you permission to leave. You may come t
In the Chains of the Alpha What a Failure
Cal hated how his pack, hesitated to reach out to Tara. Though, at the end, one she-wolf deigned to speak to her. He escorted her back to her office because he needed to just have her by his side. Dean right now deeply disliked having a meeting, he couldn’t take her to. Dean only wanted to play with his mate. But this was pack business, and he must deal with it. Tara entered her office, hating every inch. She couldn’t help but feel like a failure, and this place was her punishment and prison. Sitting at her desk, she couldn’t get back into her studying of the documents and procedures she needed to know and understand just to do the job of the Luna. There was so much. She’d always been taught that it was all about the Alpha who led the pack. Now, here she sat and learned that was far from the case. Yes, the Alpha led the pack regarding the outside world. He deemed to keep the safety and security in all things for the pack. The Alpha judged over i
In the Chains of the Alpha Elmwood Comes Knocking
Cal sat in his club office trying to concentrate on pack and club business but couldn’t get his mind off the disaster of a lunch. Sure he got work done with pack members, but he’d made no headway in having the pack accept her as their Luna. He racked his brain, looking for something he missed. Should he just give an alpha order that they must accept her and work with her? She’d done so much work to do the job of his Luna. It couldn’t be easy if what she said about her lack of education was true. He had to admire her. After the first time she questioned it, she didn’t question it again. There was no complaining. There was no communication about it at all. Cal suspected he must get her to open up to him. The problem lay there. Trusting him enough to open up to him. It would take time. He felt a change or two already, but there was still a long way to go. Cal knew gifting her with things wouldn’t be the answer like past interests he’d had. She wasn’t interested in money
