In the Chains of the Alpha Telltale Evidence
Cal wasn’t able to spend much time supervising his business from the VIP section, and he was reluctant to leave her alone with anyone. Even Rachel, so he brought Tara with him to his office and settled her down with food. Rachel insisted he allow Tara some clothing while she wasn’t entertaining him. Cal relented, and it was a temptation he’d not expected. His office door should have been a revolving door tonight. Between the usual people trying to set up special accounts or overextending their credit. Cal had to deal with his security staff’s report on the attempted murder of his mate Tara. Cal hadn’t told a soul that Tara was his and would never leave here. He’d had to get gruff with Rachel when she tried to suggest that Cal put Tara somewhere secure where she’d not hear about his business dealings. When he was done, he was sure; he found himself angrily growling at Rachel. She probably got the idea that something was different here. Rache
In the Chains of the Alpha Questioning Her Safety
Tara couldn’t believe they could find such information so quickly. But of course they could. This was one of the most powerful packs within Toronto. They didn’t eek out an existence like the Elmwood Pack. The Scarlet Nights ran some of the seediest things going on within the city and they were rich from it. From protecting shifter businesses, from being discovered, gambling, sex entertainment, serving alcohol, and more. They pretty much had the underbelly of shifter society locked down. “Well, at least I know I can get the truth from you once in a while. Now, you realize I can’t allow you to leave even if you hadn’t attempted to cheat at my tables. In good conscience, there is no way I can send you back to a pack who’s declared open season on you.” Cal wasn’t looking at her and missed her reaction. He was looking at his men and assessing their reactions to his decision. These were the men who would protect her from harm once they were mated, and he wanted t
In the Chains of the Alpha Calling Eddie Where are You
The meeting with his security people ended, and they’d finally left him alone with Tara. He’d been happily surprised when she grudgingly gave up some very useful information.He’d have to confront this Alpha Elmwood once he received a file on the wolf. Cal wouldn’t confront him without knowing everything he could. That was probably one of the more glaring differences between successful alphas and unsuccessful alphas. A need to know the truth and facts before acting on something with a compassion that people would gravitate to. The other side of the coin was that a successful alpha recognized when his ruthless nature was needed and involved with the situation. So it boiled down to the alpha asking the correct questions or having the sense to surround himself with wolves who would ask those questions and bring the answers to him. Cal was certain this Alpha Elmwood was interested only in money and the money Tara’s brother used when he was last here was in
In the Chains of the Alpha Drawing the Line with Elmwood
While Cal finished up with the last patron who insisted on speaking with him. Jaxon forwarded a file on Alpha Elmwood to him with a caption, ‘You won’t like this guy.’ Cal flipped through the file, and Jaxon was correct. He didn’t like the man just from what was in the file. He barely had a pack, and no one stood out to be a beacon of goodness and light. They were a pack of want-to-be thugs with a list of known mugging on lone shifters and rogues alike. Elmwood dealt with rogues regularly to get his dirty work done. The problem was he had a terrible reputation with the rogues within this city. He was basically living on borrowed time. But Cal wanted to know what this fool had to say about what was going on. Would he admit where the money Tara’s brother took originally came from, or where it was going? Cal had his suspicions, as did Jaxon. Elmwood really was a piece of work, as Cal read on. Once he was done with reading the file, Cal stepped into an
In the Chains of the Alpha Next Lesson Trust
Cal found Tara looking rather guilty and worried about where he’d left her. Had she’d thought he’d forgotten her? Not likely with the stiff one he was hiding in his pants for her. He’d have to fuck her sooner rather than later. The thought of sinking into her and surrounding himself with the feel of her body and her scent. The noises she made when he touched her were just putting his rules to the test. Would he lose face for breaking his own rules when others found out she wasn’t just his new submissive by his mate as well? He hoped not. Because she wasn’t ready yet to accept anything tender from him. She was still in flight mode. If he gave her an inch, she’d run. That he couldn’t let happen, because he’d not be able to protect her from Elmwood and his fools. That’s the excuse he fed himself, at least. The only one he was willing to face currently. Tara watched him like a creature cornered and trapped in a fight-or-flight state of mind. “Well, we n
In the Chains of the Alpha Throwing Out the Rules
Tara watched Cal tell her that her life wasn’t her own anymore and he was in control of her world and her. She had no choice in anything by the way he spoke. It was frightening. What if she angered him? Would he turn on her as fast as he’d forced this on her? Even her clothing was out of her control now. He controlled her body and soul; it appeared. But why was he doing this? What was in it for him? How did he think she would benefit from any of this? Tara wasn’t sure if she could do anything to change this? If she escaped, where would she go? Where was Eddie? She felt paralyzed and unable to find a way out of this. “What happens if I say no?” Her voice sounded tiny and timid. She was sure it was because he sat there fully clothed. While she sat there in a collar and a barely there dress. She didn’t have the seat of power or the force of personality that the Alpha had. She was self-conscious of her body and her small curves felt exaggerated to her. His hot gaze
In the Chains of the Alpha An Alpha Exposed and Vulnerable
A long time later, with his sex drive calmed, and his fear of this being a mistake was over. Cal was now assured she was his fated mate. He’d resisted biting her and sealing the deal. But he’d fucking filled her pussy up with his cum. He’d glimpsed his cum slipping a little from her lips, telling him he’d done well in that boat. She’d orgasmed several more times as well. He didn’t rely on that and ensured she’s orgasmed once more after he’d been able to slip from her. Now was the time to get her addicted to the pleasures he would give her. Before the trust came, the addiction to the experience would bind her to him. He was euphoric from pounding her as she came on his cock. This was what he searched for, and he couldn’t be happier that he’d found it in her. Cal took a closer look at Tara. He realized their first sexual encounter had overwhelmed her mind. She’d need time for her mind and body to process this auspicious event. He needed her to rest and recover now.
In the Chains of the Alpha An Unconventional Mating Decision
Cal returned to his office to find Tara awake and confused as she looked around her surroundings. “Did we actually? Are we really…?” She asked Cal as soon as he entered his office. Her hands unconsciously pulled the blanket closer to her. Cal put his Dom face on. He felt she’d struggle if he got all mushy on her. Tara needed to learn the rules and the boundaries. She’d be happiest then. “If you can learn to obey properly, this will happen smoothly, and everyone will be happier in the long run.” “Wait a minute, you’re saying that we’re mates, but only if I obey your rules. Clearly, I’m not good enough for you. Why don’t you just reject me and find someone who will satisfy you and make you happy?” Cal stopped dead in his tracks and his stare hardened as he studied her. “You dare to tell me what to do and how to do it? Did you not hear me? You’re not leading from the bottom. What you are doing is learning the rules and proper behaviour. Then we’l

In the Chains of the Alpha Conclusion
One Year Later —Tara sat out on the poach behind the packhouse with a laptop open to a spreadsheet. She and Emily were working out the next year’s budget and the projects they’d tackle.With Emily looking after the club while they were up here. It was interesting, to say the least.Tara gave birth on schedule. It was about the only thing that was on schedule these days, and Cal was sitting on a blanket on the grass with one-year-old Natalie Nichols. The apple of her daddy’s eye. She had him wrapped around her little finger and he’d have it no other way.Eddie and his Lycan girlfriend were now running the kitchens here for Rachel. They’d mated and, well… Tara expected to hear that they’d have pups soon enough.Jaxon, well, he was back in the city. Tara wasn’t sure what was happening with him. Cal wouldn’t speak of it. But Jaxon took a leave of absence from his position for a bit. Tara wasn’t receiving the full story. But as far as she could tell. Jaxon may have two mates. One wasn’t d
In the Chains of the Alpha New Territory New Commitment
Five Months Later —Tara felt like the size of a house. She propped her ankles up on her desk and she had to eat her fries with no salt. It wasn’t the same, nothing tasted the same. The poking from inside was regular now and she couldn’t wait for the last six weeks to go by. She’d been six weeks pregnant when her symptoms started and since then, if it wasn’t one symptom, it was another. Tara would be more than happy for these little monsters to enter the world.Cal was everywhere and nowhere, it seemed. He told her to clear her calendar today because he wanted to show her their new territory. The thought of trudging out there was exhausting to her. But she’d do it because he was just so insistent. He promised they’d stay the night out there and come back the next day at a leisurely pace.“You ready to go?”“Yes, I just don’t understand why we have to do this now. When all I want to do is take a nap.”“You can nap in the vehicle on the way. Don’t worry, I’ve packed everything we need a
In the Chains of the Alpha Telling Cal
Tara could feel the ball of conflicting emotions rolling about in her head and her belly. She had a new life inside her. No matter what, she’d never be alone again. But how did she explain all of this to them when the time came?How should she explain this to Cal? He had to be expecting this. Look at the second floor. She didn’t like it necessarily. Their pups living completely separately from us with someone else looking after them. Why hadn’t they spoken about this before?Tara’s eyes closed as the elevator dinged and opened. She’d not thought that it was important before this because she wasn’t pregnant, and they didn’t have any pups. Now she thought of it.This morning, Cal was gone before she got out of bed. This was a day she didn’t train, because there were other things she needed to get done. Which, of course, didn’t get done? A few steps brought her to Cal’s office over the club.She knocked and entered when she received the okay to enter. Tara lucked out because Cal was alon
In the Chains of the Alpha The Verdict is
David Monroe struggle with the enforcer training. His heart wasn’t in it and his skills lay in other places, but everyone lumped him in with the other male Lycans because he was a Lycan. He’d exhausted almost every avenue trying to explain to them he’d rather be patching people up and treating pups with fevers. While he was moping during a break, his phone rang, and it surprised him to see that Emily’s name came up on his phone. “Hello, Emily. What’s wrong? Why are you calling?” He couldn’t think of a reason she could be calling him for, but any chance he got to speak with her was better than nothing. “I’ll tell you, but you have to be very careful with what you say. No one can know why you’re about to be ordered to the Luna’s office. What we need you to do, is slip out of the packhouse. If anyone asks, you’re running an errand for the Luna. That’s it nothing more. What you need to do is go to the closest pharmacy and pick up a pregnancy kit. Come back here
In the Chains of the Alpha No One Prepared Her for a Morning Like This
Again, Tara was up late the next morning. Cal was determined he wouldn’t let her feel like he neglected anything about her. From sympathizing with her, to how her emotions were toward absolutely everything, and he didn’t forget to include planning their future together.Well, he talked, and she mostly listened. What he said wasn’t bad. Tara didn’t have a problem with any of his ideas. She didn’t have much to add or at this time have an emotional connection to any of it.Now, though, Tara needed to get her day going, and she felt like something that had been dredged from a swampy pond. It took only minutes for Emily, her newest staff member, to realize there was something wrong with Tara.“If we had a cat, I’d say you look like the latest thing it dragged home. When will we see you going to a healer?” Emily eagerly asked Tara as she returned from her latest flight to the bathroom. Tara looked at her with an expression of exhaustion.“I’m fine and I’m not planning ongoing to see one.” S
In the Chains of the Alpha A Clue to Follow
“Stone dear, you know I love you. I’m your mate and partner in life. I have always advised you about everything honestly and in your best interest.” Elaine still quietly sat in the sitting room and calmly spoke to Stone. The others had slowly filtered out to go on with their day or to watch their guests leave. “Of course you are, and you have.” Stone looked out the window and watched the vehicles leave. Elaine could see he was distracted by what was going on and his own thoughts. “Then why are you being an ass and not listening to anything I say now?” She let her irritation slip into her voice and she dryly responded to him. Her annoyance was obvious. Stone’s instincts instantly alerted him to the fact that not all was good between himself and his mate. Over the years, that instinct helped him avoid many different disasters from exploding in his face when it came to their relationship. “I’m listening Ellie. I’ve always listened.” “Then explain to me if you listened to me, then why
In the Chains of the Alpha The Trip Home
No one said much of anything on the way home. The privacy divider between the front of the vehicle and the back raised then never went down. Cal pulled Tara to him and sat her in his lap. He didn’t do anything more but let her soak up his warmth and strength. He buried his head into her neck and hair. The smell of the wool sweater mixed with the natural spice of her scent. He instantly felt his aggressive feelings smooth out and gentle. It’d been difficult watching her get so wound up from it all. Tara sat there, and all but purred. As their vehicle made slow progress through traffic, it’s darkened windows gave them the privacy that Cal didn’t care, Tara turned and straddled his lap instead. She didn’t do anything more than that. But his body felt her skirt hike up and he groaned, knowing how naughty she was instinctively gravitating to for comfort. That wasn’t what their mating would ever be based on. He’d never satisfy his needs while she was seek
In the Chains of the Alpha Parting Words
Kole wanted to get back to the gathering as quickly as possible. He didn’t want any misunderstandings between anyone, let alone the two packs. There was no way he’d explain to the pack that their beloved elder and ex-alpha alienated his first born grand pup with blind stubbornness, hateful questions, and fear. That wouldn’t be happening today or any day. Kole wouldn’t risk fighting with Cal. How would it look when the Council of Alphas met? His father always forgot about that. Though the council of alphas didn’t exist during his time in control of the pack. He’d been a forward thinker of his time and moved his pack to a territory that was being noticed by the local humans. It meant he could settle their businesses in, and those humans would see those businesses as founding members of the business community. “Let’s go back down now and please be nice to her. She’s so much like Heather and you wouldn’t talk to Heather that way. Just apologize and let mother do
In the Chains of the Alpha Making Things Clear as Stone to Stone
“That’s my third pup there and his mate. Your uncle, Stephen, and his mate, Ariel. Their grown pups, Erin, and Eric. That about covers your living family here, dear. Everyone sit please. Stone has created enough excitement and drama for one day. She has a sweet soul. Stephen, treat her like you would your sister and don’t act like your father if you know what’s good for you. As for the doghouse, it’s an old guard shack that’s been turned into a bunkhouse for single wolves who, for one reason or another, don’t want to make the trip all the way back to their homes to sleep. It’s affectionately called the doghouse because often there’s trouble between the few mated wolves that stay there.” “Oh, good grief. That’s horrible.” “Oh, don’t think your grandfather hasn’t stayed there a time or two. Though these days he’s more likely to use a guest apartment.” Tara looked over the tissue at Elaine with a shocked expression. “You’re joking.” “No, I’m n
