In the Chains of the Alpha Barely Morning News
It was around one in the morning when Tara awoke to the alpha’s phone was ringing off the hook. He finally woke enough to answer it. “This better be really good or the world is on fire.” His security guy was on the phone. Tara could hear him. “I’m sending you a video that you need to watch from beginning to end. Some human got access to a Harbour Wolves security camera footage of some rogues fighting fae in the west end of their territory. It’s bad and I can’t see how they’ll be able to hide this. There’re street names in the original video and a quick google will prove the place exists. Right down to the timestamp, nothing points to the video possibly being doctored or tampered with.” “Crap. That makes how many videos out there in recent months?” The alpha put the phone on speakerphone and started flipping through his phone until he located the video his security guy. Guy, Tara resisted giggling. His security guy was named Guy. She could see the vi
In the Chains of the Alpha Lessons Learned
Tara couldn’t find sleep again once Cal put his phone down and got out of bed. “Sleep. I won’t take long.” “I’m not sure if I can. What does this mean? Are we in danger? You named your club the Wild Wolf. If our existence gets out, someone will figure out who owns this club.” “Daddy wants his good little girl to sleep. Don’t distract me by making me set you up with a distraction.” Cal was half joking. His words warned he wouldn’t allow her to disobey him. He picked up the vibe from his nightstand and looked back at her. Tara didn’t like the look the alpha had. “I’ll try.” “No, I think you need to learn not to contradict me. You need to learn how to listen and obey. So how do I teach you that, hmm? Oh, I know. Hands above your head now.” Cal waited and when Tara didn’t comply. “Now Tara.” He leaned over her and that had her complying. “That’s better baby. You’ll like this in the end.” He chained her wrists to the headboard again. Pulled back the beddin
In the Chains of the Alpha The Meeting
As if they weren’t having enough trouble within the city right now. Cal found he needed to up his security for the club and the packhouse behind it. Tara called it correctly. The day opened with breaking news about a pharmaceutical lab being raided. The media was ravenous for any information they could get. What alerted the authorities to this company, and it’s practices wasn’t a snitch. But they all out attack on the company and it’s over the top response. When human authorities took a cursory view, nothing added up and the list of illegal acts became apparent. No one, though, was prepared for the victims that were uncovered. These weren’t animals being experimented on, but what they at first thought were humans. Some were, but when the not quite human creatures surfaced, all out chaos hit the airwaves. Cal was sitting there in the meeting of the Toronto Council of Alphas, with NARC Ruling Council representation there watching as things un
In the Chains of the Alpha Day Planned Out
Tara woke up to Rachel standing over the bed, holding an armful of clothing. “Time to get up. We have training in less than an hour. I saw you were still asleep, so I grabbed some clothing suitable to training in from your closet and the shower is hot. Go get ready. Breakfast is light and waiting for when you get out.” “Training? Me? I don’t know a thing about fighting. Or even exercised in my life beyond running once or twice a month in my fur.” “Well, then it’s more than time for you to learn. Seriously, I’m thanking whoever set up fate to make you cross through the door of the club. That pack you belonged to did you a great disservice. Now come on, time is ticking.” She dropped the clothes on the end of the bed. “The personal shopper already dropped off everything you need, and it’s on the counter in the bathroom for you.” Rachel smiled as she left the room and let Tara actually have a moment to herself. It was a fleeting moment. Rachel would be back soon
In the Chains of the Alpha Training Day
“He’s what?!” Tara stepped past the trainer to look more closely at the wolves waiting in the enclosed space. The hedge hid them from prying eyes. Sure enough. There was her brother in a corner sulking. How long had he been here? Why was he here? Why hadn’t the alpha told her he’d shown up? “Eddie? Where have you been? What is going on? Why are you testing to train with this pack?” “Tara. Finally, well, funny you should ask that.” “No. I have instructions you aren’t allowed to speak to each other until he met certain criteria.” The trainer stepped between them before they could hug. “I’m sorry Luna. It’s part of his punishment, and hinges on his successful completion of the initial stages of training.” “What?” “He has to learn respect and prove he can follow through with something. The Alpha believes your brother here disrespected you time and again. He also set you up to end up in a position what you could have been killed on multiple occ
In the Chains of the Alpha It’s All In The Reputation
Eddie wasn’t any better at fighting than Tara was, and it didn’t give Tara any comfort. She’d consoled herself with the idea that he could. No wonder he ran first and called later. Tara had a lot of questions for the alpha when he returned. She waffled between three ways of getting her questions answered. First, she could get in his way and in his face, then demand he answered every question. Second, beg for the answers. Third and finally, try to leave this place. The thing that made her discount option three was the sudden unrest. People were looking for shifters and other supernatural creatures for many reasons. Most of those reasons weren’t friendly. She was glad Eddie was here and safe from the events happening on the streets. Eddie wasn’t allowed to go with her. Though the head of training promised he’d be safe, but the alpha’s judgement had stipulations on what he must achieve before they could reunite for any length of time. “Rachel, do you h
In the Chains of the Alpha New Job
Rachel watched the poor girl struggling. This wasn’t fair to her. Cal insisted she could handle learning the ropes of the club and pack business. What he failed to do was look at her critically. She told him she couldn’t do it job. It wasn’t because she wasn’t smart enough, but because she lacked the education and confidence to deal with the job. It was the connection between the person and the job. She couldn’t read properly, and it was having an effect on her performance. That would become yet another to work on with her. Rachel never found herself a mate, and she was fine with that. But she hated to watch the matings that weren’t exactly happy-ever-after. She often felt like she’d dodged a bullet not when it came to having a mate. Rachel wasn’t sure if this was just something that happened to the young or happened to everyone that found their mate. It’s part of the reason she took the role of Den Mother and Floor Manager. She was out there fixing this a
In the Chains of the Alpha Reality of Being Luna
Tara wanted to believe Rachel. She really did. But there were enough pack members giving her the evil eye to force her to call the alpha’s decisions about her into question. She’d heard someone behind her at one point say to another. “What makes her so special? She looks so ordinary.” Tara pretended not to hear them. But it was Abby who made her feelings know to anyone that would listen. She was angry because she believed the Alpha was hers to claim. Tara was in the way of Abby’s dreams to be the Luna. She accused Tara of being unfit for the position. Until the male who held the key to her chains put a stop to her tantrum, as he called it. He’d gone so fat as to threaten her with some punishment that Tara didn’t understand, but Abby did, and she’d not be on display until he said otherwise. “You won’t understand. Abby is an attention junkie. That’s why she was with Cal. He would display his sessions with her, and she ate up the eyes on her. Taking that away is like sen
