Chapter 37 - Safe

Colette

I grunted as my body connected with the hardwood floor, the water dripping from my clothes, already forming a small puddle around me. My hair stuck to my face as I looked up at the stage, my body still shaking from the cold that had seeped its way into my bones.

Carter was sitting in a chair he had deemed to be his throne as if he was some sort of king. As if this was a palace and he was the ruler of his own little kingdom.

But Carter was no king; the very empire he believed he ruled was crumbling beneath his feet, just waiting for a storm to sweep in and wash it all away. Carter didn't realize it yet, his arrogance keeping him blind, but he had brought his own demise to his front door. Though I knew I wasn't the only storm coming this way, I was the one who that had opened the floodgates, and if I did this right, all the people in his false kingdom would soon abandon ship when they saw their chance to gain freedom at last.

Because what Carter failed to see,

    Chapter 38 - Tricks Zane The relief I felt holding Colette against my chest was unlike anything I had ever experienced before. It was like a part of my soul had been ripped out when she was taken. But now, with her here, safe, I could breathe again.I held Colette tightly against me, allowing myself this tiny moment of peace. My cheek pressed onto the top of her head, and the smell of black cherries mixed with damp earth and blood filled my nose. The reality of why she smelt like blood was all it took to rip me back into the present. And as I reluctantly released Colette, my eyes found Carter. The bastard was still wrapped in vines Balor had conjured out of thin air to trap him.I wondered what Colette thought of all of this. Or if she even noticed what was happening around us before I pulled her into my arms. "You, liar. You fucking liar, I'm going to kill you." Carter shouted at Phillip, Balor's deranged uncle. Phillip ignored Carter as he continued to throw threats at him; his

    Chapter 39 - HomeColetteI felt like I was watching myself as I moved down the hall from Carter's office toward the amphitheatre. My body was still in shock, unable to tell whether this was a dream or reality. I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference for some time. Everything since being brought to Zane's pack, my pack, I had to remind myself continuously, to what I had endured while being back at the Silvermoon pack had felt like a dream. Cliff had Claire with him, and we used her to link Cynthia after I used the last of my energy to heal her. The Luna of the pack agreed to meet us right away without hesitation. And as we entered the now full room, I could see why. She had a new look about her, not one of someone who had just lost of mate but of someone who just regained a sort of freedom. The kind of freedom I was now feeling myself, now that Carter was dead and I had Zane and the others at my side.All eyes were on us as we made our way to the stage. Amelia sat beside h

    Chapter 40 - Fuck TraditionZane I stared at the male sitting in front of me. I didn't want to be here right now; I wanted to be back in bed with Colette. But I wasn't. I was here, and the longer I was here, the more irritated I found myself becoming.Colette encouraged me to leave, saying she needed to get cleaned up and ready for doctor Peterson's visit, but I couldn't stop myself from thinking of her body against mine. The feel of her soft skin as I ran my hands up her bare thigh. I cleared my throat, blinking away the thoughts, trying to stay focused on the task at hand. But my wondering mind now had my dick straining against my jeans and my patience evaporating. "What I don't understand, Kyle, is why you weren't there. You are constantly MIA when you are needed. You are always avoiding your father when you should be by his side training for the position of Beta." I stated, leaning forward and placing my elbows on my desk. Kyle straightened in his seat, his hands slightly shak

    Chapter 41 - Choose meColette When Zane said we needed to talk, I had a few ideas about what, and I didn't know what I would say or how I felt about it. So all morning, I thought about worried about our meeting, waiting for Zane to come for me and have that conversation in his office. But when Cliff showed up to my room and told me to follow him, after Doctor Peterson had looked me over and given me the okay to return to my usual daily activities. I was shocked when we ended up in the garage; I didn't think Zane wanted to take me out on his bike to have this conversation. My blood filled with adrenaline when I spotted the black motorcycle and the two helmets perched on the seat; it looked expensive and beautiful, making me more nervous, especially since I had never been on one before. "Put these on," Cliff said, handing me some boots to replace the flats I had worn. I didn't argue as I slid on a pair of socks and then the boots. "I moved it, so it was easy for you both to get on.

    Chapter 42 - Gift Colette I watched out the window as the land beneath us started to shrink, my heart racing in my chest as the plane lifted off of the ground. My eardrums already wanted to burst from the elevated pressure. I hadn't realized I was squeezing Zane's hand in a death grip until his warm touch grazed the back of my palm, sending sparks through my veins. "Breathe. We will be there in four hours. Maybe try to get some rest." Zane said, his voice low so only I could hear him. Paige already had headphones on and was busy flipping through the stations to find a movie to watch. I forced my nerves to calm as I eased my grip on Zane's hand. My eyes never straying from the window. I had been on cloud nine after Zane, and I admitted what we wanted. Both of us wanting a life together and to accept the mating bond. I was finally getting the life I dreamed of, but it was missing one thing, Thomas. And as we arrived at the airport, all my giddy feelings vanished as nerves set in, n

  • Property of The Alpha   Beast

    Chapter 43 - BeastThomasFor twelve years, I endured the dark. I took the torment, the feeling of constantly being on edge, stuck between man and beast. For twelve years, I was an obedient pet. I contemplated ending it all on more than one occasion. But for some reason, my wolf would stop me when I tried to end it. Despite the torment and cruel punishment those bastards inflicted on me, my wolf forced me to hold on. Maybe it was because he knew one day we would be free. Or perhaps it was because fate really did exist, and it brought me the last piece of my past back to me fifteen years after I thought everyone I loved was gone.But as I wrapped Colette in my arms and squeezed her tight enough to ensure she was real, I did not care how or why I survived all those years of hell. But instead, I started to ask myself why I had never tried harder to find her. I believed the fuckers, who kidnapped me and wanted to groom me into their perfect weapon. When they told me that my entire family

  • Property of The Alpha   Forever

    Chapter 44 - Forever Zane I stared at the ceiling of my office; the flight back had been full of silence, the drive home from the airport no better. Colette didn't say what happened with her brother, but from the shift in her mood when she returned from his garage, I knew it wasn't what she was expecting. It hadn't gone as she had hoped it would, but I hadn't expected it to, people changed, and a lot had happened to Colette and Thomas that I knew wouldn't fade with time. They were different people now, and the memories they once shared were of people who no longer existed.And when I tried to ask her what had happened, she shut me out. I knew she needed time to process it all, but I couldn't help but want to try and pry it out of her. That was why I was here instead of in her room. I told her I needed to organize things for Paige now that she would take over as my Beta. It hadn't been a lie. I did have things to organize, but they weren't that pressing, especially when it came to fi

    Chapter 45 - Selfish Colette A week had passed since we went to visit Thomas. A whole week and I hadn't heard anything back. I wasn't sure what I expected, really, but I had hoped we would have been able to start over. But that was the problem with hope; it only disappointed you when you were already down. But I was thankful I had the Redmoon pack, Zane, and Paige to keep me busy. I got my own office in the castle and started to receive duties as the official Luna. Ever since Zane and I marked each other, it seemed to set everything into motion. The world felt lighter, along with the weight of the pack. I even started training with the warriors of the pack and learning how to fight and have better control of my wolf. Visha loved being free, and I loved that I could be free too. When I wasn't training or in my office, I was in the medical wing helping Doctor Peterson and the medical team heal patients with severe injuries and underlying illnesses. I couldn't cure cancer or help sto

    Epilogue Colette Three months later "You sure you're ready for this?" Zane asked me as I adjusted my helmet for the third time. I curled my fingers around the handlebars of his motorcycle. The thought of being out there, speeding down the open road, made my heart race and my blood fill with adrenaline. "I'm ready," I said, flicking down my visor. Zane's eyes racked over my body as he drank me in. I was dressed in a leather jacket, a black Cami, and leather pants. I even surprised him with a shorter haircut, needing a change, a way to move past my past. That change came in the form of a bob haircut, new clothes, and a better, fearless attitude. I could tell the anticipation of getting to the mountain to show me how much he appreciated this new look was killing him. Which only made the thrill of this ride all the more exhilarating. I turned the key, and Zane sat behind me. His body pressed against mine as he pressed a couple of buttons. "This is the brake, and when taking off, go

  • Property of The Alpha   Family

    Chapter 53 - Family ColetteI stared down at the box in my hand. It was amazing how something so tiny could hold so much power within it. Inside was a ring that would give my brother the freedom he had yearned for, for over fifteen years—a chance to live again, free from fear and worry. But it also meant more than that. It meant that Thomas and I could be a family again. The reality of my dreams finally coming true had me in shambles. I was nervous beyond words. I sometimes thought this was some cruel dream and that I would wake up soon and still be locked away in that small room, bone thin and still under the torment of Carter Silver. Although small, the seed of doubt in my mind was still loud enough to make me second-guess myself. "Look at me, Little wolf," Zane whispered; his voice was soft but still as commanding as ever. I bit my lower lip, trying to will my heart to calm the hell down and for my mind to shut up. This was real, and everything would be okay from here on out.

  • Property of The Alpha   Binding

    Chapter 52 - Binding ZaneIt was like we were stuck inside some dream, in a strange world with magic and magical beings. Everyone talked so casually as if this wasn't some crazy concept, and maybe it wasn't to them, but I knew I was on edge.I watched everyone carefully as they debated why they were all here. It was for some academy that Balor wanted to build, allowing beings from all walks of life to join and train. It sounded like a crazy idea, but I was only half listening as I assessed every individual here. The one I kept finding myself returning to was a beast of a male. His dirty blonde hair, grey eyes, and a mean scar across his left eye were among the few things that made him intimidating. He had furs draped over his shoulders and a warrior look about him. But what really set me on edge was how unpredictable he looked. And not the Balor kind of unpredictable but the type who would mark you as an enemy without your knowledge and kill you in your sleep kind of unpredictable.

    Chapter 51 - MagicColette "Do you ever look up at the stars and wonder if our parents are up there watching over us?" I asked, sitting beside Zane on the wooden piano bench. Zane stopped pressing the keys we had been fooling around with and looked up at me. "I would like to believe they can still see us, that life isn't over after we pass." I hummed in agreement as I looked up at the night sky. I had some work done on the gardens and got a sizeable glass sunroof put over where the piano sat. I wanted to let more natural light into the place and give Zane's last memory with his mother a chance to have its own spotlight. I thought it also allowed her to watch him play again from where ever she was now like she once did before she was taken from this world."I think that if fae and dragons and the king of the underworld are real, then Valhalla and the veil are real too," I murmured. Zane didn't say anything as he turned his attention back to the piano. The sounds the keys made became

  • Property of The Alpha   Haunted Past

    Chapter 50 - Haunting Past Zane A week had passed since Thomas had shown up at Redmoon. He and Colette spent a lot of time together catching up, and healing. I could feel her happiness radiating through our mate bond. I could tell the pack could feel it, too, the joy. The weight of whatever sadness from her past that had Colette feeling down was now gone. But now it was my turn to have a chat with Thomas and figure out what he planned to do now. Because despite Colette trying her hardest to hide it, I knew the longer he stayed, the higher her hopes got that he would never leave again. I had arranged for Thomas and me to go out for lunch. Somewhere far enough away from prying ears but also something that didn't raise Colette's suspicions. I knew it was me just being a protective asshole, but I didn't want to tell her about the real reason why I wanted to talk to her brother in case she insisted on coming. So as we sat in Vicki's Diner, making small talk over some burgers and fries,

    Chapter 49 - Healing Colette When Zane returned from picking up Thomas, I had hounded him with questions from how he was to what he had said. All to which Zane answered without argument. I could sense the anxious mood through the bond; while he was gone, it had matched my own, and after a restless night of sleep, I got up with the sun and tried to keep my mind busy. I had started the day off in the medical wing working closely with Drew, healing what patients I could. And then, I headed to my office and worked on answering emails and letters pack members had sent me. We were working on throwing a gala to honour our warriors and allow everyone to have a stress-free night. It was the perfect distraction to lose myself in; it kept me busy until Zane linked me, ripping away the false calm I had conjured up throughout the day to keep my mind from Thomas. But now, as I sat in the gardens watching the falls cascade into the rocks below, I was slowly becoming a nervous wreck again. I ha

    Chapter 48 - Scared Thomas The nightmares never started the same.No.Not when the torturing was left to Leon. My nightmares always varied, just as my punishments always did. Leon was a cruel bastard; the way the fuckers eyes lit up with pleasure when he made me bleed was enough to make me sick. I swore I could still see how he looked at me when I closed my eyes. I could still see the sweat dripping off his meaty face and his tongue licking away the blood from his lips that had splattered against his face from whatever tool used on me.Ivan Killian was a peach compared to that sociopath. But the truly sick and twisted mind that was behind all the death and bloodshed I had been forced to inflict on innocent people was that woman—the one who never looked quite right. She always looked like she was fading in and out, her features always slightly shifting, but the humans never noticed. So easily convinced by her magic. They followed the one thing they feared and hated more than anythin

    Chapter 47 - Potential ThreatZaneIf there was one thing that ruined an amazing night with the woman you loved, it was this. Seeing the worry and uncertainty in Colette's eyes as she stared up at me was enough to piss me off. Her sage green eyes were wide, and her plush lips parted in shock. The Carnival forgot. "What do you mean he's on his way here?" Colette asked; her voice was calm, but I could sense the mixed emotions she was burying deep down through the bond. I looked around at the crowd of people, the nearby pack members not so subtly listening in on our conversation. "First, we must get to the car, away from prying ears." My voice came out sharper than I intended, but it got the pack's attention; they immediately dipped their heads and turned their attention back to the Carnival around us. Colette seemed to snap out of her shock long enough to realize this wasn't a conversation to be having here. Not when we didn't know why Thomas was coming back. Yes, Colette was here,

    Chapter 46 - Extravaganza Colette The bright lights of the Ferris wheel were the first thing I spotted as we approached the Carnival. The next thing I noticed was the smell of popcorn, candied apples, and cotton candy. My teeth were already starting to hurt from just the thought of sinking them into all the delicious treats. I was at a loss for words as the sounds of children's laughter and music filled the air. Families, couples old and young, children, teenagers. Everyone of all ages was out enjoying the first warm night of many to come as summer finally settled in for the year. I couldn't fight the smile that graced my lips, and honestly, for the first time in forever, I didn't want to hide it. I turned my attention to Zane, who was watching me with careful eyes. His head slightly tilted as he took me in. I fought off the heat that threatened to spread to my cheeks. But I knew he could feel everything I was feeling through the bond just as I could feel him. "What?" I asked. He
