ALPHA RYANThere was no doubt that I was definitely openly admiring her plump butt while inhaling her sweet scent as she led us to her office. Her office was a small bland room with only a desk and a couple of pictures hung up on the wall. Her office was another thing that would need to be updated."Have a seat." She sat down at her desk while I sat in the chair in front of her desk. "So tell me about this.... business proposal?" She scrunched up her eyebrows.I smiled at how cute she looked. "How long have this place been open?" I asked."Twenty-two years." She answered proudly.I nodded. "Impressive..."Thanks for your support!I looked up at the pictures behind her desk. There were three photos, one with her and her father. I had seen photos of them in the folder that Willie had given me, apparently he owned the restaurant but had recently passed away. The second photo was with her, her father, the younger version of the female energize waitress and a middle aged man who I assume w
It was the second night that I had slept outside of Alex's house. She had arrived a little after 10 p.m., took a shower and went straight to bed. She spent most of the night tossing and turning before finally falling asleep at 1 a.m."I can't wait to sleep next to her." My wolf voiced.My wolf understood that we had to wait before we told Alex but he was always eager to make comments about what our future would be like with our mate. The next morning I had arrived back at the pack house. I had only managed to sleep for about 4 hours so I was badly in need of some coffee. It was a Saturday so not many people were woke besides Linda who was preparing breakfast."Coffee?" She asked me. I nodded and she places a cup of coffee with crème and sugar in front of me. "So, when can we meet her?" She asked me."What?" I asked confused."Your mate. When will you introduce her to the pack?" She asked nonchalantly as she flips over the bacon she was frying.I smirked. "Linda curse you for being so
"What happen?" I asked Tyler.When Willie relayed the message to me that something bad had happened at the pack house I quickly shifted and ran all the way home leaving my car still parked in the parking lot of The Red Café."James was doing rounds when he got attacked by two rogues," I growled.James was a middle-aged pack wolf that had acted as my bodyguard growing up. He took Lily and me to school every morning until I was able to drive and had even accompanied me on many of my quest to find my mate."Is he okay?" I asked worriedly."He's in surgery now."I took this attack more personal because James was someone that had taken care and protected me when I was defenseless and hadn't yet shifted. Whoever had done this would definitely feel the consequence when I got a hold of them."What happen to the two rogues?""Burn the body and then I want to know who sent him and why? By any means necessary." He nodded and exited the pack house.After calming down I made my way to the pack hos
ALPHA RYAN"How are you?" I asked James.It had been a couple of days and he had fully recovered and was soon to be able to leave the pack hospital after I had a talked with him.He sat up. "Better. A lot better.""Good." I took a seat in the chair closest to the hospital bed. "Someone is planning an attack on the pack.""You think it's the same rogues as last time?" He questioned."Maybe," I said even though I was quite sure that it was. He sat all the way up. "Have you talked to your dad?" "Yes, he and my mom are on their way back now. It's not safe for them to be out there."He nodded in agreement. "You might wanna minimize trips to the city, add 24-hour patrols."James and my father were very close and he had one of the most important jobs, to protect the Alpha's and Beta's family."Already done," I responded proudly. "You've learned from the best." He acknowledged. My father had been a very smart and caution Alpha. In situations like this, he stayed focus and didn't let emoti
ALPHA RYAN"Sorry about last night, I lost control over my wolf." I apologized to Tyler.This morning when I had woken up the first thing I had done was go to the pack hospital to check on my Beta. He had suffered a concussion and some bruising but was healing fast and would be able to check out of the pack hospital after his test results came back."It fine." He waved it off. "What happen to make you lose control of your wolf?"I sighed and took a seat in the chair near his bed. "I've found my mate." His eyebrows furrowed still not understanding why I attacked him. "She was with another guy." He along with his mate growled.When I had first arrived and wanted to speak with Tyler alone she refuses to leave the room afraid that I might attack him again. Even though she was the quiet type and she had no chance at beating me she didn't hesitant to protect her mate. With me finally finding my mate I understand why she did what she did, so I didn't force her to leave."Does she know she's
ALPHA RYANHave you ever decide to last minute and without thinking change your plans to what you thought would be better but in the end, to the regret the whole thing and wish you would have kept the orginal plans. Well that is the situation I'm in now. After I had gotten off the phone with Alex I immediately made reservations at the Mexican restaurant and left my office to shower and change into some appropriate clothing. Once I was done I looked down at the clock to see I still had about an hour and a half before I had to meet my mate. I tried distracting myself with the work that I was originally supposed to be working on but I was to anxious to see her. I couldn't stop pacing and running my hands threw my hair giving me a more messy look. I felt my stomach flutter. " What the hell?" My stomach continued to flutter leading me to believe I had butterflies which meant I was nervous. Beyond nervous. This would be the first time we would be alone in a more intimate setting. I didn
ALPHA RYAN"Sorry about that." She said immediately after Wendy walked away. "I didn't mean to say we are on a date. I just seriously hate people like that. You can't imagine how many people I've had to fired because they couldn't keep it in their pants." She blushed. "Its fine I get it." I smirked. My mate was very sexy when she was jealous. She cleared her throat. "So, what all do I have to do." "You can start by checking out the Red Café and then we can scout location for the new building." "We?" She questioned. "Yes, we. This is a collaborative restaurant, I'll be there just as well you.""Of course, I was just shocked that's all. I guess I expected you to be busy." "Nope we'll work as a team." The rest of the date went well. She was way more open with telling me about her personal life then I thought she would be. She told me about her father and how he had open the restaurant right out of college and had lived in his office and sometimes motel rooms because he couldn't
LUNA ALEXIt had been about a week and every day Ryan tried to contact me, whether it was through a text or a call. Surprisingly he hadn't once tried to come by the restaurant, which I was grateful. Seeing Meagan had put a bad taste in my mouth and given me a chance to evaluate what I was about to do. Giving away my father or even a piece of my father restaurant and having someone hold it over my head was terrifying. I can't even believe that I even considered it."So you changed your mind on taking the job." She asked to clarify."Yes. I couldn't do it, Melissa, I feel like I would betraying my father.""I get it why you did it. But aren't you a little worried about what's going to happen."She was referring to the guy in the suit that had shown up to tell me that I had 30 days to pay my father's debt off, and it was a lot more than I thought it was. Not only did he own debt to the restaurant but also on the house. It would cost over $500,000 each to be able to keep both. My college
ALPHA RYANThree Months Later Slowly the pack began to rebuild and eventually things were back to normal- well as normal as things could be without my father and a dozen other pack members. My mother was still grieving and still remained in her room for the majority of the day, only coming out when I had forced her to. Lily, on the other hand, was blocking everything out as if nothing had every happened. She dedicated most of her time to working at the diner and into her school work, barely leaving any time for any regular teenage activities.The anger that I had towards my father was still present in my heart I would eventually have to deal with these emotions but for now, I was focusing primary on my pack and keeping everyone safe. "Any usual activities around the borders?" I asked Tyler at one of our daily meeting that I had put in place since the attack on my pack."Not at all, with the constant patrolling there's no way anyone is getting in or near our territory with us knowing.
LUNA ALEX Shortly after that we packed up and headed home despite it being one in the morning. During the duration of the car ride, I refused to talk with Ryan, him refusing to apologize pissed me off but him talking to be that way was unacceptable and I wasn't going to stand for it. "You're just gonna continue to ignore me." He asked through our mind link. Plugging in my headphones I used Frank Ocean's new album to tune him out. Hours had passed until we had finally made it back to the territory, it was early in the afternoon and because I was eager to get away from him I quickly changed into comfortable clothes and headed to the restaurant not bothering to tell Ryan where I was headed.It was going on two p.m. when I arrived to work. "Well look what the cat dragged in. Nice for you to come to work." Lily commented as I entered the place and immediately put on my apron."Nice to see you again Lily." I picked up a notepad behind the counter."Hey, boss lady." The twins waved at me. "
LUNA ALEX"I just can't believe this happened." Ellie cried in disbelief. As soon as I opened the door she pulled me into a hug, crying she drenched my shirt with her tears.According to Ryan, Paul had been a father figure to Ellie ever since her parents died, losing him had clearly been just as hard to her as everyone else. Her mate Noah only came in for a few second before leaving to go talk with Daniel to make sure that the pack was okay."I can't even remember the last time we had a real conversation. With work and the argument about Elliot, I've just been so busy and-and-." Lily cut herself off by bursting into tears. She was referring to the night at The New Elite Pack which was the last time they talked and that was an argument between the two. With the both of them being so stubborn they refused to give in making that the last time they spoke.I rubbed her back to comfort her while trying to not let my own emotions take over. I didn't know Paul that well but he was Ryan's fath
Shortly after my conversation with Hailee ended we learned that Paul had been killed. The screams of Lisa could be heard from a mile away, same for Lily. They were inconsolable which eventually lead to Lily been transported upstairs where she and her mother could grieve together and so that they could also not be a distraction to Avery and I who were still trying to put all the pieces together.Hailee getting in contact with me had served as a good idea. We had narrowed down the list of possible locations where are mates were and now both of our available wolves were on their way to find our Alphas. Our only wish was for them both to be alive when we found them."They have spotted them." Avery relayed the message from Tyler to me."What's happening? Is Ryan okay?" I asked without frantically. While I could still feel the mate bond it was faint and I had no idea what that meant."Ryan and Max are fighting."I stiffen knowing that Max had to be strong and wise for all the planning and m
LUNA ALEX Before Paul and Lisa had mated he had been involved with another woman. Shortly after he had met Lisa he had kicked her out of the pack and unknowingly she had been pregnant with his child. Maxwell Steward.A few years back Max had gotten in touch with Paul. He was living with a group of rogues and had been going low on money and supplies. With Paul being his father Max had assumed that Paul would come to his aid and allow him to join his family. Unfortunately, Paul thought of Max as being the poison that could ruin his family, he wrote him a nice check and sent Max away. For him to only come back a year later and attack his pack along with many others, and now he was back again. This time stronger, wiser and even more pissed off."Why didn't he just tell me; we could have worked things out?" Lisa cried to Edward who had just finished telling us all of Paul's deep dark secrets.He sighed. "He thought that it could ruin your guy's family."She forced a laugh, "Well that's ex
ALPHA RYAN "Do I know you?"He smirked. "No, but I know you.""Um-..." Mason said waiting for the guy to fill in the blank."Max. My name is Max.""Right. If your beef is with Ryan what do, I have to do with this?" Mason asked and I expected nothing less from this bastard and if we were in the opposite situation and a group of rogues were after him I wouldn't even blink when they begin attacking him.He looked to Mason with an evil smile. "Oh, you have a lot to do with this." He rubbed his hand together excitedly. "Time for story time.""You do know that our pack will come for us and they will kill all of you." I threaten him. Tyler was already aware that I was going after rogues and when he eventually couldn't get in contact with me, he would come after me."They won't make it, I have more than enough wolves to keep you guys busy, and that's including your allies." He explained."Doubt it," I said under my breath. There was no way that he had that many rogues risking their lives for
ALPHA RYAN "Hello?"It was just after five a.m. when my phone rang I quickly answered it so that it wouldn't wake Alex up."Alpha Ryan?" The woman asked. The voice sounded kind of familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it."Yes, who is this?" I asked rudelyNot only were they calling at a ridiculous hour but they also didn't have the decency to introduce themselves at first hand."It's Hailee. I'm Mason's mate." I immediately groaned in annoyance. Why the fuck was she calling me at this early in the morning?"What do you want?" I couldn't stop the growl that left my lips.She huffed in annoyance. "I just wanted to inform you that there have been rogues sighting near our borders. Plus, Alpha Caine mate was just kidnapped by a group of rogues a couple of hours ago.""What," I yelled. "Is everything okay?"Alex jumped up from her sleep. "What's going on?" Alex asked and I held up my hand for her to wait until I finished the call."I'm not really sure. Mason went to go help but he's on
LUNA ALEX Walking up to The New Elite pack house it was surrounded by guards. I notice a few of them belonging to The Red Bloods Pack, bowing at me when I came into their peripheral vision. I walked up the three steps and knocked on the front door. A few seconds later the door open and Ellie was standing there with a bright smile. Ellie wore a black spaghetti strapped dress paired with black sandal heels with her long blonde hair curled. "Alex, you made it." She hugged me, "Finally, I was just about to kill myself." She whispered when she was close enough to my ear.I pulled back so that I could see the look on her face. "What why?""Tell you about it later. Come." She gestured for me to follow her. She leads us to the dining room where I was greeted by many beautiful women sitting at a long wooden table."Hi, I'm Alex." I waved at them as they all stared at me as if I had two heads. I assumed it had something to do with the fact that I was human. Ryan had warned me that many of the
LUNA ALEX"What brings you here today, Alex?"I took a deep breath. "I'll like to get on birth control."After Ryan had told me about the rogue problem I had started to think about our future and how this war could affect us. In the moment of him telling me that I could possibly be pregnant it didn't sound like a bad idea. But since figuring out that I am not, I wanted to take some precautions so that I could stay that way.I had spent hours and hours on whether I should do this or not and I had finally decided that I should get on birth control. I didn't know what the outcome would be after the war and I wouldn't want to chance getting pregnant and have to raise him or her all on my own. On top of that I wanted to be married and in a stable position before a baby even crossed my mind.Once I had decided on this I had right away made a call to my doctor to set up an appointment. I had left out the house before Ryan had woken up. I knew that if I didn't he would want to drive me and I
