Moxie watched as Mj’s demeanor slowly shifted. She went from anxiously perched on the chair waiting for any signs of life from their captive to slumped into the far corner of the SUV staring out the window. The concerned Cajun opened his mouth to speak when Ace tapped the brakes, sending him flopping into the rear of Ace’s seat. Moxie scowled at the commander but swallowed any and all insults when a strange but hauntingly familiar apartment building floated into view. Ace pulled the SUV into the rear parking lot and as Moxie started to secure the still unconscious Casper, it surprised him when Ace jumped to help him pull the dead weight from the truck instead of his sister.
Mj’s stomach turned in several knots as the silhouette of her
Happy Reading everyone, I want to give a warning now just in case you miss it, the next chapter will have a Trigger Warning for extreme content so please be advised it will get graphic. Thank you all again for all the love and positive support.
***** This Chapter has a violent Trigger Warning****The soft sounds of a woman's voice began bringing Casper out of his fog. The disoriented wolf rolled his eyes open with a groan before closing them again and drifting back into his unconscious bliss. Mj smirked and patted his cheek before standing up, “sleep while you can little pig, the big bad wolf will wake you soon.” she cooed before pulling herself to her feet.Mj looked around the apartment she used to call home. Someone had to have taken the two joining apartments and knocked out the walls, she thought as her eyes floated around the new massive space. Mj wasn't sure if she wanted to vomit or cry f

Happy Reading and I apologize if the super large chapter All my best DangerBeanz xoxoxo
Mj started washing the blood from her swollen hands when Moxie’s knowing grin crowded the doorway to the bathroom she was standing in, “Me, Jay and Tanner are getting ready to take off sha,” he drew out in an a practically bored tone, and she nodded, mindlessly agitating her fingers beneath the running water. Jay lightly touched Moxie on the shoulder, “you almost ready?” he asked and Moxie only shook his head lazily before slinking away from the door. Jay watched his sister turn off the water before turning to shake them dry, “get a towel,” he laughed as his face and chest were peppered with small droplets of water, but the jovial exchange began and ended with Jay as his sister stood in front of him with very little color in her face and absolutely no expression on her face. Jay straightened his shoulders and blocked the assassin’s exit completely, causing the alarmingly calm woman to cock her skull to the side and slowly look up into his eyes. After a long uncomfortable pause Mj spo
The title for chapter 48 is also the name of the Ray Charles song Mj dances to, I made the chapter free to say thank you for all the amazing people I have met and also just to say Happy Mothers day to all the amazing parents. Happy Reading All Roses are red paper is square I cant post this chapter with less than one hundred words so there... that still wasnt enough, I just dont have the stuff, to keep this obserd rhyme in motion, I would really rather just dump the whole thing in the ocean. but I needed to say thank you and happy days ahead, I have enough words this can finally end
As the hours passed, Mj kept herself awake with the sadistic joy she got from waiting until Casper’s eyes drifted shut and his breathing slowed before she would kick his chair and watch his body jolt itself cognizant. The swelling and bruises on his face had started to subside, the blood on his face and clothes had long since dried, but the terrified tremors still plagued his entire frame. Mj continued her subtle, psychological torture, sometimes jumping up from her seat and charging toward Casper, only to spin herself around the rear of his armchair and head for the kitchen or simply sit back down and stretch her legs. Every time she moved close to him, the mentally worn man tied to the chair would clamp his lips shut as tightly as possible and whimper with fear of the unknown. Hunkering down with a smile on her face Mj watched as the first signs of morning began tickling the surface of the floor, and she decided to let Casper’s body crash into a deprived sleep while she contemplate
The sun hung at its highest point in the sky as Ace stood out on the balcony with his skull and arms draped over the side. Trying to get a small reprieve from the horrific events taking place just behind him. Ace watched people walk back and forth below, going about their normal lives, completely unaware of the terror happening just under their noses. The commander sneered and shook his head as he watched the oblivious mindlessness of the masses march on their way, not knowing anything more than the minute problems that befell their benign lives. Just as Ace was reciting the words his father taught him about the pathetic existence of Omegas and non wolf humans, his phone began raging in his pocket. The Commander retrieved the device and shoved it up to his ear without even looking at the caller, “yes Alpha,” he barked and was rewarded with Azreal’s sly chuckle. “I have not heard from you or Ed since departure this morning, please tell me that means good news for us,” he asked and Ace
Ace continued to squeeze the steering wheel as he watched Mj move around uncomfortably in her seat. The assassin had started their journey relatively calm, it was almost as though the shower she took had washed away any and all signs of the absolutely manic woman she had been inside the apartment. But the closer they got to the pack house the more she began to fidget and fuss, and it was starting to get on Ace’s nerves, “we need to go straight to the Alpha’s office when we get home,” he mumbled and Mj stopped shaking her foot to snort a very juvenile laugh, “what’s wrong commander are you afraid I won't behave myself,” she joked and Ace grunted slightly, “I’m serious Mj, the Beta and Alpha are already stretched as thin as they can be with all the new arrivals,” he mumbled and Mj looked at him suspiciously. Ace smirked, “while you were playing operation with your new pet other Alpha’s have started showing up with their entourages of pack members,” he explained and Mj chewed at her thum
Jay and Moxie followed Mj as she slowly made her way out of Azreal’s now empty office and as they walked Moxie nudged his lover and motioned toward his little sister, Jay rolled his eyes and caught up with his sister, “where we headed sis,” he inquired and Mj did not answer she just began walking faster. Jay turned and shrugged at Moxie, who simply shoved the fair-haired hunter and Jay returned the shove. Mj tried to get herself further away from the playfully sparring couple behind her, not because she didn't care for them, but she wasn’t sure how much of their affection she could take before she lashed out at them for something that had nothing to do with them or their affection for one another. Mj rounded a corner just in time to run straight into Ace’s unsuspecting arms, the commander simply smiled down at her and winked, “wanna fight,” he asked and Mj responded with an almost playful grin before she stomped on his foot so hard he howled in pain. Mj took off running and as Ace
In the weeks and months that followed Dante and Mj set to work building a pack their wayward people could call home. Some chose to leave, Mj agreed and almost insisted that they all stay in her building in Lowder until they figured out where they wanted to be. She assured Dante this was the best course of action as it kept them safe while they learned about the world and kept the Bijou pack safe, as the Alpha’s could easily keep an eye on anyone wishing to leave. Mj and Lila spoke on the phone almost daily, and the Quicksilver Alpha had even gotten her techno - impaired friend to do video calls, so they could truly visit with one another. In that time, the two women had exchanged troubling tales of walkers that continued to plague the outskirts of Bijou territory, while the Quicksilver pack was having its own trouble training hunters and tracking down the other Triad testing facilities. The two Alpha’s started to become somewhat legendary as they paved the way for a new way. Every wol
Mj looked at the phone in her hand and then at her mate, “I think she hung up on me,” she said and Dante laughed as he grabbed the small square device from her hand and tossed it over his head, “good, now I get you all to myself, yummy” he growled before wrapping his arms around her and burying his face into the center of her chest and inhaling. Mj cupped his face, smashing it between her breasts, “we have time for this later Alpha, we have a pack to rebuild and a family to prepare for,” she said and Dante looked up into her eyes with an excitement she had never seen as he placed the palm of his hand over her stomach, “are you,” he asked, and she let a laugh blast from her chest, “hell no, number one, it’s way too early to know… I think, and two I was actually talking about Moxie and the brood of babies he and Jay now have,” Mj finished and Dante looked at her, first, slightly disappointed and then confused, “kitten,” the Alpha cocked his head, “how the fuck,” he began and Mj laughed
Azreal led Lila by the hand toward the Alpha’s private office, and although she knew they had to make this call now, it did not stop her from dragging her feet all the way to the desk. Azreal smirked at the new furniture arrangement before pulling the large ornate armchair out from the desk, “your seat my lady,” he rumbled, and although she suddenly wanted nothing more than to rip his clothes off and let him have his way with her right there on the desk, she was now the acting Alpha and unfortunately that was a fantasy she would have to put on hold. Lila sat back in the chair while Azreal pushed her up to the desk and as she reached for the phone, Azreal put both of his hands to work on her shoulders. Lila groaned in pleasure as she lifted the phone. “What do I tell her?” she asked, and Azreal kissed the side of her head as he continued messaging her shoulders and neck. “You are the Alpha my love, what do you think you should tell her,” he answered and Lila made a small, unpleasant
The sound of hushed voices woke Azreal with a start as he realized his youngest children were no longer cradled between his arms as they had been when he fell asleep. Sitting up, he exhaled when Lila and Beth stood in the kitchen, each with one small bundle wrapped in their arms. Azreal stood up, stretching his arms, before he approached the women in the kitchen. “Alpha,” Beth said respectfully and bowed her head. Azreal glanced at Lila and smirked, “Beth… I am no longer an Alpha, just call me Azreal,” he mused and watched as the corners of her mouth twitched up just slightly as Briella and Matty made their way back into the suite, followed by Aliza and Adler.“Momma can we take the babies outside to play,” Aliza asked as she twirled around in her canary yellow dress and as Lila inhaled to answer, Azreal bent down to address his youngest daughter, “Lizzie sweetie, the boys are very young and they are vulnerable, it's not safe for them to be without me or your mother,” he explained and
After making it into their suite and getting the muddy youngsters clean, Lila waited until they were occupied with other activities before she approached Azreal, “we need to talk Alpha, alone,” she said softly and Azreal looked at her with a genuine but soft concern. Azreal stood, reluctantly leaving the side of his sleeping infant boys, and approached his mate. “You seem tired my love, would you like a bath?” he asked her with a wry smile and Lila grinned at him warmly, “Azz I would love nothing more than to take a bath with you, but I think you should hear me out first, you may not want to be in the same room with me let alone a bathtub,” she warned and Azreal’s eyebrow arched so high it almost disappeared in his dark hairline, “my greatest love, my Beta, my mate, and the mother of my legacy, there is nothing on this planet or any other that would make me not want to be naked with you,” he said with a heated look and Lila sighed. “Azreal I mean it. I already spoke with the hunters a
Lila exhaled again as she dismissed the hunters and followed them out of the Alpha’s private office. Mara turned to her and offered a warm smile, “for what it’s worth, I think what you are doing is incredibly brave, for what it's worth,” she tried and Lila offered her an appreciative smile, “thank you Mara, I really needed to hear that, sometimes I just don't know what the right decision is,” Lila shook her head, fighting back the tears threatening to fall from her face, “especially right now,” she added and Mara offered the Beta a firm and warm hug, “don’t worry Lila this pack loves you almost as much as the Alpha does, they will stand behind you the way we are, because even we can see the change in him,” she finished before Tanner turned to find his mate lagging behind with their Beta. As he approached Lila tucked her head slightly and Tanner cleared his throat, “Be- uh, Lila, when things have settled here I would very much like to take a trip up to see the new Bijou Alpha and Beta
Moxie watched Azreal disappear with his children, and as hard as the faithful hunter tried, he could not keep the hateful poison from his heart. Thoughts of sadness and melancholy swirled around his mind as the swamp wolf stood by waiting for direction. “Why should Azreal be the only one to enjoy the wholeness of his family,” Moxie thought to himself and, almost as if his Beta could hear his thoughts, Lila approached him and held out her arms.Moxie looked at her suspiciously and she only smiled at him in kind, “I miss him too, but not more than you, do you need-,” she began, and before the Beta could finish, Moxie landed against her chest, his arms wrapped around her waist like a small child as his back shuddered with every silent tear he shed. Sam, Tanner, and Ace all stood by looking between one another in confusion and a growing sense of worry, “his sadness consumes him,” Briella murmured from behind them and the trio all turned to the young Alpha for direction, but she only tur
Azreal tried to settle into the uncomfortable silence that had engulfed their ride home since Lila watched Jay chase the S.U.V. Moxie was in, howling a forlorn tale as the shifted hunter galloped furiously alongside his departing mate. The sound of Jay’s whaling howl finally faded into silence and as Azreal looked to his mate, she tightly folded her arms around her chest and sat with her back as rigid and unforgiving as a steep mountain cliff, “I won’t speak to you,” she snapped and Azreal sat back into his seat slightly in shock, “why,” he asked, genuinely curious and Lila simply shook her head as tears welled in her eyes. Azreal threw his hand into the air before letting it fall onto his thigh, making a loud smacking sound, “what would you have had me do Lila,” he asked in a frustrated but soft tone and the Quicksilver Beta snapped her head in his direction with a look of malice seated deep into her eyes, “did you hear his heart break Azreal, how could you,” she hissed and Azreal l
Mj waited with her heart pounding in her chest for the crowd to make their decision, and although she could tell quite a few of them were not pleased with some of the things that were happening, they were also not leaving, so she took several deep breaths and placed herself calmly in the seat at the center of the podium. Lou and Dante followed, although Dante moved his arm to caress the side of her fingers, trying his best to show her that he was there to support her through the tough decisions they now had to make. “Bring the first one forward,” Mj spoke with a hint of the wolf beneath her voice, and Dante sat next to her with pride swelling in his chest to such a vast degree he thought he might pop. As the first Nerezza guard was shoved forward and slammed to his knees, Mj peered over the podium at him before she looked out over the crowd, “state the nature of his crimes,” she demanded with the confidence of an Alpha, and with little hesitation the other pack members began rattling
