My Single Daddy Alpha Chapter 98
CILLIAN The tension in the bar gave me a headache. It pulsed between my shoulder blades and ran up my neck. I rubbed my temples, trying to rub the pain away, but I knew it wasn’t going anywhere—not with so much going on. In the far reaches of my mind, I felt Ciara. She wasn’t trying to poke or prod me, nor was she trying to soothe me. I didn’t want her to. The fact that she’d directly disobeyed my order to stand down irked me. She was at the far end of the bar, coddling Colleen with Ella and Sam as Torque and Hatchett sat at the other end, closer to the door. It was strange to know that only last night our two packs had been united, now the rift between us strained the plans. How could I trust them if they didn’t respect us? “What else do you know about the compound in the woods?” I heard Ciara asking Colleen as I moved to the booth to sit next to Ciara while keeping an eye on the Steel Lycans. “You okay?” I asked Colleen. She shrugged. “It’s been a long day.” “Don’t worry about

“AP, adjust your camera down a bit,” Holden said. I hovered over his shoulder, staring at the computer screen, chewing my lower lip as the cameras came online. “Good, down just a bit more… there. Perfect,” Holden said as he tested the various settings. My heart pounded as I leaned back and crossed my arms over my chest. This wasn’t the first time I’d joined in on a mission, but it was the first time I had so much at stake. I tried to push out my emotions and focus on the tasks at hand, but it was hard watching my friends and family put on Argentum gear and know they were the ones going out there. “Aiden,” I called. My brother’s head whipped up, and Melody looked over at me. Aiden gave Melody a quick peck on the cheek and walked over to me. I studied him. It seemed like just yesterday he was a boy, running around our parents’ living room in a diaper. “Keep your head on a swivel,” I told him. I grabbed one of the filtration devices off the table and handed it to him. He glanced at

CILLIAN “Cillian!” Ciara’s voice crackled through the speaker of the walkie as I stared at the line of men and women marching toward my town. My heart pounded in my chest, and it felt as if time slowed to the crawl of a snail. “Cillian!” Ciara continued to scream. “Please, whatever it is you’re thinking about doing—” I clicked to a different frequency. She’d be pissed as all hell, but I needed to concentrate. Members of the Greyclaw pack stood side by side with the Moon Valley police force. But I knew just by the sheer size of the Raze’s numbers that we were outnumbered one to twelve. Even at my best, I could only handle five at a time. Ciara’s presence in the back of my mind rattled me as I rushed to the convenience store and took cover around the building. I needed to get my thoughts together. Rubbing my temples to ease the headache mounting behind my eyes, I tried to think. Pushing Ciara out of my head and blocking her off was the hardest thing I’d ever had to do in my life. Th

Terror ripped through the thin fibers of my being. I didn’t know what to do as I stared at the computer, watching in horror at the scene before me. There was no where I could look that didn’t show chaos and destruction. My beloved town of Moon Valley was being pummeled by the Raze. “Holden, where did Cillian go?” I asked as I scanned each of the screens, searching for his wolf. I could barely feel him on the edges of my mind. He seemed to be slipping away from me, but not so much that he was dead and gone, but that he was hiding. “Near the school,” Holden answered. “Let me readjust the drone to get a better view.” I couldn’t tame the frantic beating of my heart as I watched the screen. The drone flying high gave me the perfect view of Moon Valley and everything going on down on the ground. My heart went out to the Greyclaw pack as I watched them drop one by one under the Corpse Lily fog. I wished with all my might that Kenzie had made more of the lotion so we could protect more peo

CILLIAN “How are your hands?” Ciara asked when she knelt at my side. “I’ll be fine.” I winced as I tried moving my wrist to prove I could. Pain shot from my wrist to my elbow as if all the nerves in my arm were fired. “Just need a few more minutes and I’ll be as good as new.” Ciara cupped her hands to my face and pressed her forehead to mine. The weight fell from my shoulders when I looked at the woman’s lifeless form. Pride and anger warred inside me. I pulled back from Ciara and glared at her. “I told you to stay put.” “You’re seriously mad at me right now? For saving you?” Ciara snapped, her expression changing from loving and relieved to shocked and outraged. “You defied my order. You could have been killed. I saw how much was left of Kenzie’s lotion. You came down here with no protection, no backup. What’s the first rule of pack training?” I growled at her, curling my fingers around her wrist. My heart fluttered as I studied her beautiful, slim face. The way the wisps of he

Rain battered against the window, but I found it soothing. After everything that had happened, being able to sit and listen to it was a welcome reprieve. The bed sank under Cillian’s weight as he got into the empty spot beside me. Instinctively, I snuggled into the nook of his arm and breathed in his scent as he curled his arm around me. I felt so safe, it felt as if the world had ended, and we were the only two remaining souls. “What are you thinking about?” Cillian asked, brushing the hair away from my face. I looked at him from under my lashes and shook my head. “Not a damn thing.” “Well, mind if I don’t think, either? It’s been a long day. I just wanna relax with you.” “Sounds like a plan,” I said as I lowered my ear to his chest and let the sound of his beating heart sync with the rhythm of mine. It was peaceful, and because it was so peaceful, I wondered how long it would last. It seemed that every time we were able to get an ounce of time alone, some sort of catastrophe was
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

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

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

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
