Chapter 98

Bryan's POV

“Why isn't she here yet? They've been gone for hours,”

I paced around in front of the gates as my wolf stormed around in my mind.

He was antsy and so was I. After all, our mate was out there somewhere. With how unsafe the environment has been in the past few months, had it been wise of me to let her go out there on her own?

Of course not! You should have gone with her.

I pushed back against my wolf fighting to stay in control. In this situation I agreed with him because it was Ciara we were talking about here. What if something had happened?

Ryan stepped in front of me and held up his hands. “You need to relax Alpha,” he placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder. “You need to trust her Alpha. She told you she'd be fine and she has two of our best men with her.”

I glared at him as my wolf pushed forward more forcefully than before. “My mate is out there amidst all these uncertain killings that have been undetected for months and you're telling me to ca

    Chapter 99Ciara's POV I yawned and sat up in bed, smiling as I realized I had a peaceful night free of dreams. Since my visit to that place, the dreams have stopped and everything is fine again. “Someone is awake,” Bryan whispered as he sat up and she grinned, turning to face him. “Hey you,” I hugged his neck as he peppered my face with kisses. “Stop,” I chuckled even though I didn't want him to stop. “You smell so nice in the morning, I could eat you whole.” I moaned as he bit and sucked on my neck, grunting when my breasts turned hard. “Bryan,” I moaned and he pulled away. “No, don't be a tease,” I whined like a little girl. “Come join me in the bathroom if you want more.” He winked as he ran into the bathroom. I threw a pillow his way and used the other one to cover my mouth as I screamed into it. I was going to kill that man soon. If only I didn't love him so damned much. I sighed as I made my way out of bed and slipped into my bathrobe. I peeped into Lacey's cot and fou

    Chapter 100 Ciara's POV I yawned and leaned up in bed, staring at the curtains where the sunlight was fighting to pass through. I slid out of bed gently so I wouldn't wake Bryan and tiptoed towards the window. Shifting a small part of the curtain, I peeped outside and smiled as I saw how beautiful the new day was. “What are you doing up so early?” Bryan asked and I shook my head with a smile. So much for not waking him up. “When did you wake up?” I asked as I tiptoed back. He leaned up and pulled me towards him. I fell on his body and he wrapped his arms around my waist. “Just now.” He buried his face in my chest and I giggled at the ticklish feeling. “You smell nicer than yesterday. Did you sneak take a shower in the morning while I was sleeping?” I shook my head, chuckling at the absurdity of his question. “No baby but I should go out today.” He shook his head immediately. “No, not again. You still haven't explained yourself after the other time. I almost went crazy lo

    Chapter 101 Bryan's POV I had been to this pack several times but today I had no idea I'd be here to see my parents in-laws, unannounced. Ciara shivered at her mother's icy tone and ran into me. I adjusted Lacey in my arms and grabbed her shoulder. “What's wrong?” I asked as I studied her closely. “This was a mistake, let's just go back home,” she muttered as she struggled against me. I shook my head. We couldn't just run off at the first sign of danger. She obviously had a reason for being here today and if she didn't accomplish it, I wasn't going to let her go. I shook her slightly. “You need to face them. Once you get over this fear, you'll be invisible.” She opened her mouth and started to talk but I didn't let her finish. “Go ahead and do what you need to. I'm right here.” I shook my head and nodded towards the other woman standing there. “Good day Ms….” I had no idea what her name was. “Alpha Bryan,” she frowned as she watched me closely. “Why wou

    Chapter 102Ciara's POV “One, toe…keep counting.” I obeyed and as I swung at the dummy, I counted his punch delivered out loud feeling energetic after every hit. It had been two weeks since I visited my parents and in that time I was still unable to wrap my head around what I am. I went from being the useless weak and worthless Omega to being a dire wolf in the blink of an eye. “Now take a swing at me,” he called breakfast into my thoughts and I obliged giving it my best shot. Since I got my wolf, I was stronger and faster and with Bryan I could use it to my advantage because I was a distraction for him. I heard a groan beside me and giggled as I met Bryan's gaze. “You're enjoying this a little too much don't you think?” he whispered with a scowl and I shrugged as I swung at the him again. He dodged just in time and grabbed me, wrapping his arms around my waist. “Focus on the lesson, teacher, then maybe I wouldn't be beating you so badly.” I teased and he growled as his hold

    Chapter 103 Bryan's POV Things have been too quiet around the pack. The killings have suddenly stopped and all is right in the world again. Even though I was relieved, I still couldn't shake off the feeling that something wasn't right. I felt like something big was upon us but just couldn't tell what it was and it was messing with my head. Ciara was honing her Dire wolf skills and she was getting really good at it. I was proud of the woman she was becoming but I was also worried she'd be targeted once her secret got leaked. Was it selfish of me to wish she was still the weak useless Omega people always panned her out to be? Maybe but at least she was safer then. I kicked a rock and huffed, my breath coming out like puffs of smoke. It was that time of the year where everything was freezing and cold. It had been snowing for a week already and I wasn't used to it. “What did that rock do to you?” I heard from behind me and sighed. I remained there though and didn't bot

    Chapter 104 Ciara's POV I watched Bryan go, several unknown emotions coursing through me all at once. I had never seen him like with anyone else except Orion and he deserved it most of the time. But what could this sweet looking woman have done to deserve that side of him? “Don't worry about it, he's just angry with me,” she sighed and dropped her fork, the sound cutting through my thoughts and bringing me back to the present. I reached for her hand and gave her a gentle squeeze. “What happened between you two? He seems really pissed at you,” She hesitated and then finally sagged in her seat. “I left.” She summarized as if I was supposed to understand those two simple words. “Bryan had a difficult childhood. After hisother died, Alpha Stone officially married Luna Stone and they had Orion. I came before all that.” I leaned forward, my attention peaked. “Alpha Stone had me first obviously through one of the maids but he never gave her the recognition she deserved so I was

    Chapter 105 Ciara's POV “Here,” Brianna said finally as she sat on a rock. I sighed and collapsed on the ground feeling weak like my old self would. “Are you okay?” She asked me to stretch her hand out and I nodded. “I just need a few minutes to catch my breath.” I told her and she laughed then fell back and cared not to hurt herself. We stayed like that for a while then she broke the silence by laughing. The sound was so unexpected, I was startled. “I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I just…I just,“ she paused and then shook her head. “Never mind, I don't want to burden you with my problems.” I sat up with a frown and reached for her hand. “Hey, you're not a bother and ignore Bryan. He's just playing tough but he's really just hurt because you left,” “Does he even know why I left?” She fired at me and I took a moment before responding. “Did you tell him?” I shot back and she flinched as if I actually aimed an arrow at her that hit her square in the chest.

    Chapter 106 Bryan's POV “What are you doing here Brianna?” I asked without looking at her. I smelled her before she crossed the hall. “I'm not going to ask how you knew I was here.” she sighed as she walked in. “Why are you still here?” I still wasn't looking at her. I was expecting Orion because we had a meeting. The fact that the killings had stopped didn't mean we were in the clear. Also Ciara was a dire wolf now so it was only a matter of time before she was targeted, I had to be ready. Orion didn't know she was a dire wolf and I intended to keep it that way. The less people who are aware, the safer she'd be. Or that's what I keep telling myself. “What else do I need to do to make you forgive me for leaving?” She asked, pulling me out of my thoughts and I sighed. “Brianna please don't pretend like you care okay? You should just be on your merry way back to wherever you came from.” Her eyes glazed with hurt but I ignored it. “I see she didn't tell you,” she said

    Chapter 142 Orion's POV “He's still not picking up?” I asked and James shook his head. “No Alpha. It keeps going to voicemail,” I sighed and banged my fists on the table repeatedly. What was going on with my brother? Surely he wasn't still mad at me because I called Sophia's bluff? We were both mature adults and we could harsh it out like men. James had informed me that he had been here to see me a couple of days ago but I never received him in office. I had been confused when James told me about it. Why had my brother come to see me but then changed his mind last minute? My heartbeat picked up as I remembered that the same day, Lucas and I had been discussing something sensitive in my office. A gasp left my mouth before I could stop it and I nearly tumbled out of my chair. Could he have heard our conversation? “Alpha?” If he had, surely he'd have barged in and challenged me for lying right? He wouldn't just storm off like that. At least that's what I wanted to

    Chapter 140 Ciara's POV It's been two weeks since I found out I was pregnant and so far I have been doing a horrible job at hiding it from James and Brianna. The maids have stopped serving me since Brianna took over making it easier to hide since Brianna is as oblivious as they come. In a couple of months from now it would be rather difficult to hide it because then I'd have a noticeable bump. If I was home and had access to my wardrobe then I'd have selected a couple of maternity gowns. Here I'm stuck with shirts and my single pair of jeans that I had on when they kidnapped me. Now there's a slight bump that isn't noticeable except I take my shirt off which I would never do in the presence of these people anyway. I had to think of a way to ask for more clothes or find a way to get myself out of here before my child would be at risk of being used for Sophia's dirty games. It was getting close to noon and since Brianna had already fed me once for breakfast, my next mea

    Chapter 141 Ciara's POV “Hey,” I raised my head and rubbed my sleepy eyes to see James standing at the door, one foot in and the other outside. With a frown I sat up as my mind began to race. “Did something happen? What's going on?” What time was it? He shook his head and walked in fully, closing the door behind him. “Good morning to you too,” he teased with a smirk and I raised a brow. “Okay okay, I know this might be weird for you,” “Weird? Try strange, uncomfortable amongst other things,” I sighed and slipped on a smile. “What can I do for you?” His smile grew bigger. “Oh it's nothing I just came to keep you company that's all. If you don't mind of course. I could leave if you don't want me…” He turned his back to me and started to move towards the door. I flew off the bed and grabbed his arm. “No, sorry,” I let my hands fall to my side again and took a step back, my cheeks flushed pink. “What I mean is I'd love to have another human being besides myself in this room

    Chapter 139 Bryan's POV “How could you do something like that?” “You weren't thinking clearly,” The heavy words I had spoken to my brother yesterday without thinking came back to haunt me as soon as I laid down to rest for the day. Guilt and a sense of loss filled me. When he had walked out after bowing and calling me ‘Aloha’ I should have realized how much I had screwed except I chose to turn a blind eye and kept fumming. But as I laid down on my bed and closed my eyes, images from that moment started to replay like a film in my mind ripping my peace away. In truth I had been the one who told him to stand up to that dreadful woman and when he took my advice, I had turned my back on him. How could I have been so stupid and judgy why all he had done all these while is trying to protect our mate? He had been forced to sleep with the enemy literally and wine and dine with her while I got to live my life free just without Ciara in it. If I was being completely honest, h

    Chapter 138 Orion's POV “Alpha,” James greeted me as I walked past him but I didn't respond. My head was clouded with different thoughts all centered around Bryan and his reaction when I told him how I stood up to Sophia. For someone who didn't want to entertain Sophia from the beginning, his reaction had been less than satisfactory. I had gone there with my head held high feeling extremely proud of myself for sticking it to Sophia and I had expected he'd be proud and pat me on the back. Instead he lashed out at me as if I were a little kid. I hadn't been expecting the completely different 360 reaction he dealt me today and it was still a bitter pill to swallow. My office door slammed behind me but I didn't flinch as I made my way to the chair. Setting down on it, I shook my head as if to expel every negative and hurtful thing he had said to me. Even if he was angry, he shouldn't have spoken to me in that manner and tone. Not even my mother would speak to me the way

  • Mate for the Feuding Alpha Brothers   CHAPTER 137

    Chapter 137 Bryan's POV “Since the killings have stopped, our people have grown more secure and more confident in your leadership Alpha Bryan,” one of the elders said and I almost scoffed at his attempt to flatter me. We were having a council meeting that had started since 7am but my mind was divided. After Old Man Heartfield's visit yesterday, I found myself thinking a lot about Ciara and her wellbeing. I wondered how she was doing and if Sophia was treating her right just like she promised Orion she would when they made their deal. I was going to keep being strong and not give Ciara any reason to worry about me. The less she worried about us, the better for her. All she had to do at this point was focus solely on staying alive and eventually getting out of there in one piece. Once she was safe in my arms again, she could go back to being the worrywart she always was. “Have we found the cause of the killings?” Another elder asked and I looked at Ryan. He flushed an

    Chapter 136 Orion's POV “Hey babe,” Sophia whispered as she walked into the dining room. I grunted and turned my face away when she tried to kiss me. “What's wrong? Did someone upset you?” She asked and I scoffed. Was she really that oblivious to the disgust I felt for her? I motioned for one of the servants to set the table and pushed Sophia away lightly. She huffed and went to sit down but she kept touching me and leaning over to put her hands on me. “Don't you take a hint? I wish to be left alone,” I yelled, unable to tolerate her behaviour anymore. “Why are you reacting like this? I always do this,” I shook my head and stood up. “Have breakfast by yourself.” I stormed off, fuming and shaking in anger. I made my way to the room and slammed the door hard behind me. She ran after me and walked into the room after a few seconds. “What is going on? What did I do wrong Orion?” I shook my head and pointed to the door. “I just want to be on my own. Is that too m

    Chapter 135 Bryan's POV “How long have you known?” The old man made a sound in the back of his throat but didn't respond. I shifted in my seat feeling very uncomfortable. After a while of silence, I cleared my throat. “I didn't mean to keep the truth from you. I was just hoping I'd have found Ciara by now.” He grunted but still kept quiet. I cleared my throat. “Please say something,” I begged, almost about to fall on my knees before him. “I know I should have told you. I was wrong to keep something as important away from you but I thought I was protecting you and her family from the pain.” He nodded and finally spoke, his words shocking me. “How have you been holding up?” I blinked, wondering if I had heard him right. “You…” He sighed. “Look Bryan,.I get why you did what you did. Am I angry you hid the truth from me concerning my granddaughter's situation? Yes I am. But at the end of the day, you did what you thought was best and I can't fault you for that.” My eyes

    Chapter 134 Bryan's POV Turning on my side in bed, I opened my eyes and yawned. A smile slowly made its way to my lips as I recalled the events planned for today. Ciara would be coming home today after several months of being held hostage by her crazy relative Orion had been so sure that Lucas and his men would come up with better results than the other men we had assigned to the job a while back. I had my doubts but with no other options available, I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt. Lucas didn't disappoint and gave us the first major clue. He had managed to do what we couldn't do in the months since we had been conducting the investigation. The best part was the place had been infiltrated with our own people who knew that Ciara's life was the top priority. I had repeated it constantly to Lucas that I'd rather have Ciara held hostage but alive than dead and gone. Despite having all this set aside, I couldn't brush off the nagging feeling in my mind tha
