My Single Daddy Alpha Chapter 89
Ipulled up to the Harkness Manor and stared at its elegance. How many centuries had this house been standing in this exact spot? Time never seemed to touch it. Even the wrought-iron gates that flanked the driveway were still fresh and new. The cobblestones that I drove over hadn’t changed, nor did the building look like it needed to be updated in any shape or form. It was astonishing to see it so immaculate in its original state—truly a sight to behold. I only wished I would be able to create something for myself that could hold up against the test of time. It wasn’t that I was ungrateful for being able to stay here with Cillian, but I wanted a place to call my own. The fortress I’d built in the mountains was nothing to sneer at but it was a sanctuary for shifters on the run or for the use of those at Argentum. I wanted something homier and not so commercial. I wanted a place that was just like the Harkness Manor, except filled with laughter and tears, and filled with memories of my

CILLIAN The soft orange glow from the overhead light illuminated the bedroom, giving it a magical feel. Nothing else mattered. I watched Ciara picking at her food, taking small bites until her plate was finally cleared. As I watched her, I saw our future so clearly. It was peaceful and calm. The world around us could fall apart, but as long as I had her, nothing else mattered. Ciara was my everything. I knew from the second I laid eyes on her when we were kids that I would do whatever she wanted and do whatever it took to give her the life she wanted. If her heart was set on having kids, then I’d focus on that. If she wanted to build a life here in Moon Valley or skip off to Las Vegas, it didn’t matter. It was the knowledge that she was mine and I was hers that completed me. Just her being here was like concrete seeping into the cracks of my being and strengthening me. Her love was like a compass guiding me on the path I needed to follow. She was more to me than I could ever expla

AP’s voice crackled like a jackhammer, disrupting the peaceful darkness that cocooned me. For a moment, I wondered if what I was hearing was real or just part of some new dream I was stepping into. But with each new beep, I knew I wouldn’t be able to claw my way back to sleep. Slowly, I lifted an eyelid as I stretched my arm across the bed, hunting for Cillian to make it stop. The cold sheets shocked me awake and I shot up, searching for Cillian. A sudden panic came over me like a blow dart to my stomach. The panic was fleeting as I let my mind wander and sniffed the air. Cillian’s musky scent hit my nose, and I instantly relaxed as the crackling from a walkie-talkie caught my attention. Looking around the room, I tried to find the walkie talkie but couldn’t see it. I pulled the sheets to my chest and tilted my head as I concentrated on pinpointing where the noise was coming from. “Cillian, wake up,” AP’s voice was gravelly but muffled. I strained my ears, trying to hear any sound

CILLIAN When I had finally scrubbed the last remnants of chocolate off the countertop, I stepped back, admiring my handiwork. I glanced around the kitchen, looking for any further stains or smears that I had to clean. Only when I was absolutely positive that the kitchen couldn’t get any cleaner, I polished the stainless steel until it shined and dropped the dirty rags and mop in the laundry room. The rustle of the wind through the canopy caught my attention as I passed the bay windows. I wiped my hands together, pleased with myself as I stared out of the window, watching the trees sway and dance. Deep within me, I felt my wolf calling and prodding at the edges of my being. It had been forever since I’d let him out to play. The sound of footsteps coming down the stairs made my ears perk. Bartholomew would probably find some fault in my cleaning skills. Before I could get ensnared into doing more work, I bolted through the side door and took off toward the trees. “Cillian!” Bartholo

“Idon’t like it.” Trevor leaned back in the chair, arms defiantly folded over his chest and a scowl plastered on his face. I’d never seen him so disgruntled before, but then again, I never had to deal with him directly while he was the chief of police. “By all rights they shouldn’t be here,” he continued as I glared at Colleen. “The Steel Lycans are known for being criminals. I can show you right now on the board at the station at least three of them are wanted for something they did in another state, yet you want me to forget that they’re here?” I pulled in a deep breath and tried to figure out how to break the news to him that the wanted posters were not only outdated, but straight up misinformation. I rubbed my temples, trying to ease this tension in my head, but there was no way I would be able to say anything without breaking their cover. “I know you don’t like them being here, but their presence is necessary. Right now, there are threats going on in the shifter community—not
My Single Daddy Alpha Chapter 94
CILLIANSunlight poured through the boughs of the trees. The beams of light illuminated the dust particles, turning the forest into a magical place. It awed me that the forest could seem so innocent and serene despite the danger lurking not too far away. The cool mountain water flowing through the river was a nice reprieve.But even the serenity of the forest didn’t stop my mind from drifting to Kenzie and Blue. It seemed like such an unusual alliance. Blue didn’t seem intelligent enough for Kenzie. Not that the guy wasn’t smart, but his happy-go-lucky demeanor contrasted with Kenzie’s mental focus. Then again, it could be why she found him so alluring.I swam to the riverbank and shook the water out of my hair. I could hear Ciara in my head, making a comment about how I didn’t have to act like a dog. Luckily, she wasn’t there to see me. Just thinking about her being here with me filled me with a longing so great, I was desperate to see her. But the pack came first. I couldn’t waste m

Ipulled in a deep breath. The heady scent of sex filled my nostrils and saturated the small office. Cillian’s breathing was heavy and stifling on my neck, and I shifted slightly on his lap to lift my drowsy head. I giggled as I stared at him. “I don’t know about you,” he said, breathlessly, “but I’ve never had sex with a politician before.” “I’m not the mayor,” I said as I ran my fingers through his hair. I loved that I could have him whenever I wanted. There was a comfort about that—to being able to give myself to him. He’d always be there for me and always know what was going on inside of me, even if I wasn’t entirely sure myself. Cillian was a rock that I could bet my hopes and dreams on, and I knew it would never rust or deteriorate. “But you could be if you wanted the position,” Cillian said. I shook my head. It was hard for me to tell if he was hunting for a reason to keep me here, or if he really believed that I could manage both Argentum and Moon Valley. “I’m not Wonder W

CILLIAN “Oh, God. Blue. Please wake up,” I heard through the closed door. I quickly pushed my great-aunt’s door open to find Kenzie raking her hand over her upper lip. Her eyes were deep red as silver streaks of tears ran down her cheeks. She whipped her head up the second the screen door slammed behind me. “Kenzie, what happened?” I asked as I rushed over to her. Blue’s breathing was ragged and strained. I pressed my ear to his chest and listened to his heart as Kenzie shot up and rushed to the cabinets. “I told him not to touch anything,” she said as she pushed aside the different dried herbs in the cabinets. “I swear, I just turned for a second and came back to find him like this.” “Kenzie, you’re the healer. You have to focus. Push past whatever feelings you have for him and think. What did you use when I was in this position? Before you had the detox formula.” Kenzie trembled as she dropped her hand. She sucked in air in short bursts. “I can’t remember.” “Yes, you do,” I to

CILLIAN “You sure you wanna be doing this?” AP asked as he snuffed out the cigar in the ashtray. “I mean, this is kind of permanent.” “It’s already set in stone for me, AP,” I said as I chuckled at his disgruntled expression. “But marriage? Isn’t it enough that you two marked each other? Why you gotta go and get all traditional? Oh, wait, never mind. That’s just who you are.” “What’s the matter, AP? You don’t like my sister?” Aiden asked as he stood before the mirror, fumbling with his bow tie. “You all know what she did to me in tenth grade,” AP grumbled. I laughed. “Still can’t get over the fact that she kicked your ass, huh?” I laughed. “Ciara didn’t kick my ass,” AP insisted. “She cheated. There’s no way a girl of her size could fit that many pies in her little stomach. Losing that contest ruined everything for me.” “Didn’t you end up with Malia a few months ago?” I asked as I stared at myself in the full-length mirror. “Yeah, but I’m not one to settle. Everyone knows tha

“This is nice, isn’t?” Laya asked as we waited outside the Picasso. I couldn’t help but smile as Laya looked over the menu posted on the wall. “Really, when was the last time we got to do this with just us girls? It seems like we’re always stuck with one of the guys, you know?” “Never,” Sam said as she checked her watch. “Do we know when Melody and Kenzie are going to get here? I’m starving,” I said as my stomach started to grumble. “Kenzie said she’d be here around six thirty the last time I talked with her,” Sam said. “Isn’t that them over there?” Daisy asked. I turned my attention toward the walkway and smiled as Kenzie and Melody stepped off the escalator. “Hey!” Melody shouted as she rushed through the crowd. “What took you so long?” Laya asked as Kenzie threw her arm around my neck and gave me a tight hug. “Traffic,” Melody answered. “But damn, this place is nice.” “Wait five minutes and the Bellagio fountains will start,” I said as I released Kenzie to hug Melody. “I’m

CILLIAN “Holden,” I snapped. “Yeah, I heard,” Holden said as he scrambled to disconnect from the system. I pulled him away from the system and shoved him toward the door. We did not need to get arrested for trespassing. “AP, Laya! Torque, Hatchett!” I called over my shoulder, hoping they heard me. I spotted AP and Laya rushing around from the back of the house. Their shadows bobbed through the broken windows. “We’re right behind you,” Torque called. I took a moment to glance over my shoulder and take one last look at the destruction. Everything was so surreal. It was as if the place had been in a war zone. The stench of death lingered in the air, but I knew it had nothing to do with the Corpse Lily. I was smelling what remained of Colleen and Tippy. “Pick up the pace,” Torque snapped as he rushed by me with Hatchett on his heels. We made it outside, and I glanced to the west. The clouds of dust coming off the tires grew as my heart drummed violently in my chest. “Take the back

Igasped and shot up. The room was pitch black, and my heart pounded fiercely in my chest. “Hey, you okay?” Cillian asked as he shot up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. Relief came over me when I realized I wasn’t dreaming anymore. I was safe and all was well. “Yeah,” I said. “Just a strange dream.” “Come here,” Cillian said as he lay back down. “Come sleep on me. I promise I’ll protect you from those bad dreams.” A smile drifted over my lips as I scooted down into the nook of his arm. He was so warm and comforting, it amazed me that he could banish the bad thoughts in my mind so easily. “What did you dream about? Or do you not want to tell me?” Cillian asked as he played with the tips of my hair. “It was weird. I was back at the sacred oak tree, and it looked sick, like it was dying.” “That’s not a good sign,” Cillian whispered. “But then the red fog came through and I was rescued by Preacher in a chopper.” “What, I don’t get a cameo in your dreams?” Cillian teased as he h

CILLIAN The gentle knock on the hotel door roused me from my sleep. Pins and needles plagued the arm Ciara was sleeping on. Carefully, I slipped my arm out from under Ciara’s head and nudged her to the pillow. It had been more than a rough night, and I couldn’t bear the thought of having the maid wake her. Slipping the sheets off me, I let my legs fall over the edge of the bed. Ever so slightly, I got up, keeping one eye on Ciara and praying she wouldn’t wake. As quickly as I could, I moved to the door and peeked through the crack. “Housekeeping,” the woman said. “We’re good,” I answered. Before she could say another word, I closed the door and exhaled. Ciara stirred, and I held my breath, hoping she wouldn’t wake up. She had been through so much; I just wanted her to get some sleep. “Cillian?” Ciara’s voice was tired and muffled. For a moment, I wondered if she were asleep or awake. Tiptoeing to her, I craned my neck to spy on her as she slept. A sensation of peace washed over m

Cillian growled in my ear, drowning out the clinking and clanging as we moved through the casino. It was amazing that we got anywhere at all with the way he refused to let me go. Every fifth step, I found myself caving to Cillian’s needs. “What if I took you right here and now?” His lips brushed against my neck as he spoke. My skin tingled as his hot breath caressed my skin. “You just want the hot waitress to watch us, don’t you?” I asked as Cillian pinned my arm over my head and kissed me. “No,” he growled and pinned my arm against the slot machine. The old woman playing at the machine gasped as she sent us a disapproving look. I flashed her a smile, wondering if she had ever experienced the kind of passion I had. “You’re the only one I need,” Cillian said. “The only woman who could ever sate me. Don’t you know that it’s only ever been you?” With my free hand, I grabbed his hair and jerked his head back. A small whimper escaped his lips, and it pleased me to hear his soft seduct
My Single Daddy Alpha Chapter 106
CILLIAN “Are we ready?” I asked as I walked into the Las Lobos Cantina where Torque and Blue were chilling at the bar. It seemed as if they didn’t have a care in the world. Of course, I knew where they stood when it came to Colleen’s safety, but I’d figured they’d be more excited now that we were so close to finally getting rid of the Raze. “Easy there, tiger,” Torque said as he patted the empty chair next to him. “Have a drink. We can’t do anything until we get word from Hatchett. He’s doing recon for us and will be back any minute.” I exhaled sharply, trying to ignore the itching in my limbs. It seemed as if a storm was coming with how much electricity was coursing through my veins. Sitting around and waiting had never been my strong suit. Frustration bubbled and brewed within me, but I wasn’t on my turf anymore; I couldn’t call the shots. “Fine, I’ll have a drink,” I conceded and marched over to join Blue and Torque. “What’s your poison?” the woman behind the bar asked. I tilt

Ilet out a heavy sigh as I stepped into my old office. It seemed as if it been forever since I was last here, yet everything was exactly as I remembered it. There were papers stacked on the desk that I hadn’t looked at in months, and a thin layer of dust covered the bookshelves. I moved around the office, reminiscing about all the things I had collected here. My heart drummed in my chest as I caught a glimpse of the picture I had of Cyrus. The pain nearly crippled me as I plucked the picture off my desk and stared at it. It was like it was another life. Everything from who I dated to what I did had changed. I was no longer Sia—that girl had died the second I decided to go back to Moon Valley. I just hadn’t realized it until this very moment. I moved around the desk and sat down. Running my fingers over the mahogany wood, I couldn’t help but think of all the times I had given orders here. How many lives had been saved because I had created this company? It was a noble cause, and some
My Single Daddy Alpha Chapter 104
CILLIAN The tension in my shoulders that had only just vanished returned in an instant, bringing with it a hellish headache. Just when I thought we were in the clear… I should have known something was going to happen. The echo in my bones rattled my consciousness. Ciara and I couldn’t get a moment’s respite. “What’s going on, Sam?” I asked into the walkie. “It’d be best if you came to the Crescent Falls Motel,” Sam said in a grave voice. “We’ll be there in five,” I answered and clicked the button three times before setting it down. “Well? How do you feel about checking this out?” All the color had drained out of Ciara’s face. The worry etched on her brow filled me with a murderous rage, but it was the devastation in her gaze that really ripped me to shreds. “I promised Colleen nothing would happen to her. I put her in the most secure room we have,” Ciara said. “How did this happen?” “The only way to get answers to that question is by going to the motel,” I answered as I grabbe
