In the Chains of the Alpha Audience for the Pack Grievances
This was like many nights. It dragged on with a lot of foolishness that he really wasted his time with. The only reason he listened was so that he could keep a finger on the pulse of his pack. “Now, one last piece of business. Everyone knows I like to run a tight ship within my territory. Two nights ago, this very gathering had to be postponed until tonight. This was because at least two people entered this establishment after a third person. They attempted to poison the first person after they failed to interfere in the workings of this club. It’s one thing to try to cheat me. It’s another thing to pin a murder on me. They didn’t know that I took them into custody and my placed them in my personal chains. That means the cheater was under my care at the time of their attack. There are photos of the attempted murderers up. Please look at them carefully, and if you have any information, report it to Beta Jaxon, or Delta Guy. They will follow up on any leads. This concludes t
In the Chains of the Alpha Losing Control
It horrified Cal at where his thoughts went. Normally, he had excellent control of himself. He could train a submissive without ever getting his dick wet. Yet here he was, close to this woman. Wrapped in her scent and wanting to fuck her. Now was not the time. He didn’t get tangled emotionally with his submissives, and Tara… Tara wasn’t ready. If he fucked her… It would amount to raping the enemy. No, he had to resist the temptation. He was the one in control. He couldn’t stop touching her. Watching her shiver as his fingers skimmed down her belly and down her hipbones. He could see how she responded to his touch. It did things knowing she was so aware of him. Tara didn’t know what she could do but experience his exploration of her intimate body. She felt her bra’s clasp open, and her breasts freed. His hands glided over them, toying with her nipples before he was tasting and suckling at her breasts. His touch left her body, and all she could do was anticipate
In the Chains of the Alpha Aftermath of the Alpha’s Will
Tara lay bound to the bed, practically naked. Her body ached to for more when Cal suddenly walked from the room without a word. Her passion muddled mind took a while to understand he’d left her like this to go to do something else. She could do nothing and if anyone entered this room other than Cal, she’d never be able to get over her humiliation. Ever since she woke up, it had been one humiliation after another. She’d failed miserably at this and now she was paying the price with no end in sight. Tara now understood what Cal meant when he said she would beg to tell him what he wanted to know, just to find some end to the need she felt. She wasn’t sure how long he’d be gone, and they left her with nothing but her thoughts. Thoughts she wished to run away from. Eddie had no clue where she was, and she had no way of contacting him now. Alpha Elmwood made it clear she couldn’t go back without the money, and she’d only see him coming after her if h
In the Chains of the Alpha Too Tempting
Cal opened the club, but he turned it over to Jaxon for a while. He hadn’t told anyone about discovering that Tara was his mate. Cal couldn’t believe it fully yet. Even though his mind would return to that body spread out for him there in his private playroom. When he returned to his playroom, her lean frame lay enticingly splayed across the bed. Cal had to stop and admire her body. He’d all but abandoned her there after he found her too enticing not to screw within an inch of her life. Even now, like this, he could see her enticing folds. With their swollen lips, they teased his senses with the scent of her need. Licking his lips, he pick up a massaging wand and returned to her side. Cal found his cock hardened as he closed in on her. “I won’t apologize because I have responsibilities, but I am back, and we will return to your training.” He stroked his hand down her body and watch her gasp and strain to his touch. “Why are you doing
In the Chains of the Alpha Displays of Desire
Later Cal had Tara change her lingerie, and he took her out of his playroom to the main sex den. There he sat in the VIP section with Tara on his lap. Again, he was slowly feeding her food and enjoying being able to touch her. Her scent was maddening but enjoyable, but at least if he kept her in public like this, it helped him for now not to fuck her mindlessly like he so desperately wanted to. He could barely admit to himself what had happened back in his office. A mate for him. He feared he was confusing what had happened. Cal brought Tara out to the main room, where all the kinky play happened. She saw people touching and playing with each other so intimately it made her blush. Then she felt Cal’s hands on her. He was touching her everywhere. She could feel his hard cock through his pants and her panties were no barrier to that monster. She’d not seen it yet, but she could feel it pressing insistently between her thighs. He’d not put his shirt on
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 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
