Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Fifty-Nine - Auction
Tori’s POVI couldn’t believe my sister was down here and at the mercy of these perverts.“Surprise, surprise!” Tommy taunted.“They’ve given her the wrong mask,” Alex said.“How do you mean?”The voice was ice cold and angry. So my stepbrother was no more than a crony. It wouldn’t help us now. Unless I could make them fall out somehow. He could be unpredictable when he lost his temper.“I specifically told them white after personally examining the goods.”And there it was: my cue. I didn’t care if I was talking out of turn.“You had no right, Alex!” I stormed.“Who asked you, kitten?”“She has a point,” Moore said, setting down his glass.“Let me have her, Alpha Archer.”“Behave, Dante. You’ve done well so far but you’re way down the pecking order in here. This changes things. I was thinking of bringing the auction forward in any case. Let’s head downstairs, gentlemen and lady. This needs to be done properly.”I thought I heard a muffled thud but, glancing around covertly, couldn’t s

Tori’s POVMaybe I’d gone too far, but I wanted people to know. Fran was crying openly. Soon, she slumped to her knees, taking me with her.“With no current owner, that won’t be possible, sweet girl. I say Alpha Archer should exclude himself from the bidding? How about it, Tommy?”“You don’t dictate what I do and don’t do, Mrs King.”“Then we’ll just have to offer up a higher price than you. Toby.”So our nightmare continued. Because Travis had dropped out for some reason and, however much I strained, I couldn’t see him.Alpha Dante played his part, suggesting a sum in a half-hearted way which I assumed was meant to up the price. Was Tommy going to profit? Did he hope to ‘sell’ us and then reclaim us via the orgy?I was trying not to think about what Jason had disclosed regarding the wearers of the black mask. Maybe Fran wouldn’t have to tussle with her rapist in a life or death struggle afterwards.There was soon a clear favourite in the race to become our owner. Then I saw Travis ha

Calvin’s POVEven though I knew what was likely to happen to my future Luna, I had no choice but to leave her. It cut me in two to think of what she was about to endure but I had to co-ordinate the attack if it was going to be bloodless. It wasn’t the Alphas I was thinking of, rather the submissives. I knew Tori would approve of that.The screaming took me by surprise but I couldn’t stop now. Megan had gone back to the medical area. I judged she would be safer there than with us. If anything went wrong … I couldn’t allow myself to contemplate that.Travis was leading the other pack warriors. We’d seen there were a number of ways into the room with the stage but judged a two-pronged assault and the element of surprise would be sufficient.I was still feeling the effects of that blow to the head and the whipping I’d taken was contributing to my fury. But this was a great opportunity to corner these Alphas whose depravity knew no bounds and perhaps get to the truth behind the demise of B

Tori’s POVThe adrenaline rush of being in such a horrible predicament and coming through it was wearing off much faster than I had expected leaving me weak. I was worried about Fran yet knew I had to be at my best to help her.I really needed Calvin’s supporting arm as we made our way to the medical facility I hadn’t known about.“Do you think we should have one of these?” I asked.“Unnecessary. And it would cost too much.”That was my line.“Not if we set Ellie up in her own practice.”“Trust you. Jobs for the girls, is it?”His teasing tone was just what I needed.“She’ll never go for it,” I said.We were grinning, despite everything, as he pushed open the white door marked ‘Aftercare’.That was when we saw Alex holding a knife to the female medic’s throat. It meant the others were probably still in the building too.“Release her, at once,” Alpha Calvin demanded.“Are you injured?” I gasped, noticing the blood on her arm.“Not me,” she managed, before collapsing onto the floor rend

Tori’s POVBethany refused to come out of hiding. She said it was for my own good.You can’t fight back. He’ll kill you.I don’t think so.Thaddeus is out there. You have to give me a chance to reach him.My wolf could be such an optimist when it suited her. Yet nowadays, so was I. The plan was to make Tommy fed up with me and my unresponsiveness. It had to work sometime.And it made me feel a bit less guilty about allowing another to touch what belonged to Calvin. As if I had any choice in the matter.Strangely, after that first time my captor refrained from full penetration.What was that about? My bruises were fading too. Would I be sold in the near future? Maybe I’d not seen the last of Alpha Joseph.I was imagining a hidden villa containing his personal sex slaves when she turned up, Mrs King. That was when I learned she’d been the one to free Tommy from his bonds.“This is more like it,” she purred, strolling round the hut, which was actually a log cabin and her second home. “I
Last Updated : 2023-03-28Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Sixty-Four - Losing Her
Calvin’s POV What a total fuck-up and I only had myself to blame. I should never have left my mate undefended. I obviously wasn’t thinking straight. Instead of delegating tasks as usual I went charging off to right yet more wrongdoing and almost got myself killed. It was a shock to see Tommy free and he fought dirty, knocking me out for a spell before making his escape. Someone set fire to the building and he was the obvious suspect. So Rhodes had lost his job but I was sure he would find a new one. My fellow Alphas were proving to be surprisingly co-operative, especially young Dante who was just coming down from a drugged high. I reprimanded him for being out of control and contemplating a scene. But it seemed he’d been under more than one influence and I decided to be lenient rather than judge. What he’d planned to do to Tori had been orchestrated by another and there was no real harm done. Yet I chose not to tell him that. My father taught me that years ago. It binds people to

Calvin’s POVI was surprised to find that Jason Moore had the uncanny ability to mind link almost anyone, no matter which pack they came from. I began to wonder if the so-called Lycan was actually a warlock. If so, we really needed his services now.He agreed to meet me on the slightly neutral ground of ‘Cheetah’s’ one afternoon. Toby owed me that much.“I do have her. But it’s not what you think.”We were waiting for the bartender to bring us coffee after which he went back to bottling up.“Can you tell me why?”“I’m tired of being packless, not quite a rogue because I’ve worked mostly for Alphas.”“So Fran’s a bargaining chip?”“I wouldn’t put it quite like that.”We were skirting around things and I was close to losing my temper.“I want to see her. Today, if possible.”“I’ll bring her to you,” he said, blowing on his cappuccino.“Not good enough.”I didn’t want to take the chance he’d run.“Take me into your pack and I won’t ever work for anyone else.”“Give me one good reason why

Tori’s POVTommy laughed when I told him I would become his recruiter on condition he didn’t touch me inappropriately again.“That goes for Mrs King, too.”I didn’t want to know her first name; we were never going to be friends.“You’ll do as you’re told. Or she gets it, the she-wolf we’re holding.”“Do it, see if I care,” I dared him.He seized my neck in a strong grip. I’d been through worse.“You’re my toy for as long as I want you. Say it.”I began to choke and exaggerated the sounds I was making long enough for him to loosen his hold.“No deal," I panted. "And if you choose to force yourself on me again, I swear the first chance I get I’ll kill myself.”At that point I thanked the Goddess for those acting classes in college.“You need to learn who’s master.”“Go on, prove yourself an Alpha male. Rape me and watch my willingness to help you go down to zero.”The beating which followed was better than the alternative. Part of me wondered if Calvin was feeling this, too.So now I ha

Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Eighty-Three - Aftermath
Tori’s POVIt turned out I’d fallen asleep in the middle of making my statement to the WA investigator. That was a relief. I didn’t really want to share our special moment with anyone, not even my bestie and her mate-to-be.Calvin told him we’d continue this another time but I was determined to see it through and answered all his questions. I’d even impressed myself.Then we were on our way home, to the flat at ‘Remus’. I could hear the distant sounds of clubbers having their special kind of fun down below as we made our way upstairs via his private entrance.“I’ll tell them to close up early, shall I?” he asked, not even bothering to glance at his watch.“Don’t do that. I’m tired enough to sleep through anything.”“I noticed.”I told him about my weird dream and he seemed amused. Then he received a phonecall which put a dampener on everything. Isabel hadn’t made it through the night. I couldn’t believe it. What must he be feeling?“I’m coming with you to the hospital,” I said.“She’s
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Eighty-Two - Revenge
Tori’s POVI kept reassuring Ellie she had a decent figure. We even giggled about the nipple pasties and barely-there thong she shouldn’t have to reveal if she took it slowly as we rehearsed.“Travis is going to get the shock of his life,” she said.That answered that one. Not that I’d ever wondered about the contents of her lingerie drawer. As for her sometimes hard-to-believe superstitions, I rarely paid attention to them. My own thoughts were that the Moon Goddess either favoured you or didn’t, yet I couldn’t believe Selene would have a down on someone all their life.I felt my luck was about to change and was in a buoyant mood as I joked around with her backstage.Alpha Tobias had nodded to me but chosen not to approach. Perhaps that was something to do with my frosty glare. A little guilt courtesy of yours truly couldn’t harm before I told him I forgave him for his part in my near downfall. And Calvin’s.The mesh dress didn’t make me self-conscious in any way given that I was goi
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Eighty-One - Frustrations
Calvin’s POVI still couldn’t believe Rhodes had achieved bail. Then I realised in all the confusion nobody had actually accused him of being behind the destruction of Black Gold. My bad. I’d been more concerned with Tori’s welfare and Issy’s condition.Rose had done a disappearing act after giving her statement. I was still hopeful of finding her or that she would make her way to us. I knew Tori was fretting about it.To say I was glad she wouldn’t be stripping – a one night only trial venture we’d persuaded Toby to stage in an attempt to lure him out of hiding – was an understatement. From now on I wanted my Luna under wraps and all to myself.I thought she was going to have to step in last minute when our proposed lookalike caught a bug. As we were having a heated debate the night before, Ellie came up to us.“Can I have a word, please, Alpha?”I froze, my thoughts going instantly to my sister.“Please tell me she hasn’t deteriorated.”“Isabel’s improving day by day.”“Then what is
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Eighty - Repercussions
Tori’s POVI couldn’t believe ex Alpha Joseph hadn’t grasped that fact already. What exactly had Calvin said to him down at ‘WAX’? Something about me switching packs and nothing more? I have to admit I was out of it at the time, surviving on instinct and adrenaline alone.Did he have selective memory, or was it simply because the one who held a weapon could reinvent the world his way?Maybe it was his final attempt to make a power play given all that he had lost. Security certainly didn’t have him on a blacklist as he wasn’t deemed to be a threat.For similar reasons I was still wary of Alpha Tobias, Jason less so.But neither of them were about to shame me in public.Not if I could help it!Yet the former leader of Waning Moon held all the aces.We must tighten security if nothing else. At least this may convince Ellie finally to switch packs. I’d said to her she ought not to be around Lance too often but that didn’t seem to work.What must she think of me now?I found out in the nex
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Seventy-Nine - Another Crisis
Calvin’s POVI hadn’t seen fit to tell Tori we would be in sole charge of the club on this occasion. There was no way Naomi was in any state to open up and my security guys had never doubled as Doms. I’d considered remaining closed for the night and then I thought, what the hell. We needed to loosen up, not necessarily performing a scene, but just keeping a watchful eye on things.I’d told her we wouldn’t be going downstairs but was hoping she would consent.I doubted I would see Moore for a day or two. Oscar and Travis were excused though would have obeyed my order had I seen fit to issue one. So this would be a night for the members and occasional visitors. Plus, I wanted to see once and for all if my decision to surrender control was a wise one. Maybe my mate and I needed this, to let off some steam now and again.Of course we could always do that anyway. I wouldn’t be barred from my own club. I knew I needed to sound her out about this, too.First things first.We went in the back
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Seventy-Eight - Closer To A Full Confession
Tori’s POVI was chewing my lip now, hard enough to draw blood. Calvin discouraged me with a comment before continuing, “Hit me with it.”“I need to be bait again. Before our mating ceremony. That should give your sister time to recover.”“I hope so,” Guy said. I’d forgotten he was there, he was so quiet. And those eyes were the closest to amber I’d ever seen.“Me too.” I felt shy suddenly, wondering if he was the kind to judge me for my past.His next words went some way to reassuring me. “You are so brave and unselfish, Victoria.”“Thanks,” I said. “But I’m a weakling really. I just punch above my weight occasionally.”“Don’t believe her,” Calvin told him. “She’s in denial about her own qualities but we’re working on it. Aren’t we, princess?”I wasn’t sure how to take that so I shoved him, playfully, hurting my wrist. I’d forgotten how rock solid he was. I made a joke of it.“Have you been working out?”“Some,” he admitted.“On your own, I hope?”“I’m the faithful kind. I haven’t be
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Seventy-Seven - One Last Attempt
Tori’s POV The smell of burning roused me. Then I saw Fran. She was beside herself with rage yet crying, too. “What are you doing here?” I murmured, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. “Finishing what he started. Except I’m useless at it.” “Alex? You’re better than him.” “No, I’m not. Because I was contemplating doing what he arranged for someone else to do. You might say he saved me from myself. Mom knew I was bad. She always said … Oh, never mind. I’d better go. I’m not wanted here.” “Don’t be hasty,” I said. “Let’s talk.” “What is there to say?” “You have Naomi now. And me, for what it’s worth. I never stopped thinking about you all the time you were missing. I don’t blame you for any of it. Truly.” “Really? And what about this?” Her gesture took in the singed furniture and blackened carpet. It was strange how the sprinkler system had malfunctioned. Correction, it was belated. “I’ll say I did it,” I panted, climbing out of bed and trying not to think about how much I resemble
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Seventy-Six - Never Letting You Go
Calvin’s POVShe was back where she belonged, in my arms – in my bed. I treated her with reverence, taking note of how Guy was with Issy, and soon enough Bethany reached out to Thaddeus and my mate was ready to be – well, mated.At the ripe old age of twenty-eight it was about time I settled down. And it was all thanks to the efforts of Jason Moore who helped us when we needed it most. Without him, who knew where Tori would have ended up.I wanted to take her somewhere romantic after the ceremony, maybe to the forest where we’d go for that run after all. Yet I had to be practical. My sister’s condition remained serious and I was reluctant to be away from Still Water for long. Though ‘Remus’ could be run remotely and participation was not something I was interested in unless it was with my Luna, in private.We had a whole lifetime to spend together and needed to start on the right footing. Better late than not doing so at all!I still needed to ask her about if I’d pushed her too far s
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Seventy-Five - Seizing My Chance
Tori’s POVThere was no way I was ever going to stay with Alex, though I managed to convince him of that while pretending I had my time of the month. That wouldn’t have stopped him once, but his mind was full of triumph initially - until I told him about the ticking time bomb inside his head.I really doubted that Calvin and Moore had the remote but managed to convince him otherwise.Then it was a matter of counting the hours until the doctor arrived.Alex had gone for a lie down leaving George watching me. I knew I had to be wary of him. Yet after a while I couldn’t resist.“Why do you bother? Following him, I mean. You could do so much better.”“Convince me,” he said.“How?”“Make it worth my while and you and I will go on a little trip.”“Not when I’m bleeding.”“A glimpse of your tits and I’m all yours.”Lucky us.Play nice, Bethany. He may be our ticket out of here.Yet I was sick of being preyed upon by these lustful shifters. And the mate bond – I’d been marked, for love of the
