Property of The Alpha Captured
Chapter 15 - CapturedZane I was livid, anger consuming me as I tried to calm my nerves by leaning on the railing and looking down at the water. No woman had ever gotten so far under my skin as Colette did. Everything about her pissed me off. Maybe it was because I was forced to be with her before I was even born. Or perhaps it was because it wasn't even her I was supposed to marry. I couldn't decide whether that was a blessing or a curse.The fact that fucking Carter thought I was too stupid not to notice the differences only added fuel to the flame. But either way, she pissed me off, something wasn't right about her, and maybe Carter was the dumb one for being too cocky not to fucking notice how strange she really was, but I was going to get to the bottom of it.When I returned from the mountains, my head finally clear once again. I made my way back to the celebration. I had to make an appearance, and as much as I wanted to avoid the little wolf for the rest of the night, I didn't
Property of The Alpha Truth
Chapter 16 - TruthColetteI gasped as cold water was dumped over me. Sending a shock through my whole body, ripping me from the darkness that had consumed me after my wolf had locked me out. Bright fluorescent lights blinded me as I opened my eyes. The world looked hazy as I tried to understand where I was. My body hurt, and my throat felt like I had swallowed some sand. I closed my eyes again, my head ringing. A panic set in as I tried to remember what the hell had happened. All I remembered was being locked out of my mind, my wolf stripping me of the control of my body. A muffled voice nagged at me, but my eyes felt too heavy to open, and I didn't want them to burn from the bright lights. Another downpour of cold water assaulted me, and this time, I cried out in shock. My eyes darted open, spotting the culprit. Zane stood before me, no longer in his suit but in a black shirt that hugged his toned body nicely. His tattoed arms were on full display as he crossed them over his chest
Property of The Alpha Turmoil
Chapter 16 - Turmoil Zane I stared at Colette, her words resonating with me on such a personal level. It seemed to coincidental. I couldn't believe her. It was a lie. Or at least I wanted to believe it was. A whole pack couldn't be slaughtered without someone finding out. The elders would have known. There would have been a trail left behind. She was playing me, another one of Carter's tricks. I had to figure out his angle and put a stop to it. I needed to learn more about her pack and their history before something else happened that I couldn't stop. The images of my mother lying lifeless on the floor while my father gave everything he could to get to her flashed to the forefront of my mind. The fear, I felt, trying to creep its way out of the cold depths within my soul, twisted my gut. Before it could fully surface, though, I turned it into anger, shoving the fear further down. Because the thought of someone using my past against me like some joke made my blood boil. "Cut th
Property of The Alpha Feral
Chapter 17 - FeralColetteI stared at the door as tears started to pour down my face. My body finally giving in to the rawness in my soul as I was forced to relive the past that continued to haunt me in my dreams. I had tried so hard to keep it all locked away, but when Zane provided the proof of who I was, I couldn't deny it any longer. I laid it all out for him and told him the truth—a weight falling from my shoulder after years of keeping it to myself—one of many truths I could never share with anyone else before now in fear of what would happen to me. But now, I guess that didn't matter anymore. So instead of hiding it, I let him see how broken it made me. I thought he understood me; I thought I saw a flicker of something in his eyes, a moment of vulnerability, but as soon as it rose, he shut out and stormed off. I called for him and pleaded for him to stay, but he didn't. Instead, he slammed the door behind him, leaving me alone with my dark thoughts once again. I honestly did
Property of The Alpha Twisted
Chapter 18 - TwistedZaneSophia looked at me, her lower lip wobbling as she stepped toward me. The smell of fresh blood, Colette's blood, filled my nose. "I did it for us, Zane. She tried to run away. She broke the contract. You're finally free. We can be together now, just like you wanted." I moved down the last few steps so fast that I was surprised I didn't tumble. I didn't waste any time grabbing Sophia by the throat and pinning her against the wall. A furious snarl burst through my lips; my canines elongated as Clay stepped forward. Nothing pissed me off more than someone disobeying a direct order, and Sophia had always pushed her boundaries, but not she crossed a fucking line. Laying her hand on Colette made me want to rip her throat out. I was too consumed by rage to think what that meant. To ask myself why someone I hated more than anything had me feeling this way, like my head was about to explode, and my blood boil when she was only getting what she deserved for trying to
Property of The Alpha Stressed-Out
Chapter 19 - Stressed-out ZaneDaredevil by Stellar blasted my eardrums as I pounded into the punching bag. Sweat dripped from my forehead as I took another jab. My knuckles were split under the wraps I had placed on my hands. Blood staining them pink as I took swing after swing, my knuckles stinging with every hit. But that was how I liked it. The pain kept me focused, staying on task, and right now, I needed to focus more than anything. Colette still hadn't woken up, and it had been two days since Sophia attacked her. After Drew stitched her up and had given her medicine to counteract the wolfsbane, she still slept. Doctor Peterson assured me that was normal, but I couldn't help but worry, which pissed me off even more. I wanted to go check on her, but Doctor Peterson told me it was best if I didn't, and honestly, I didn't even know what I would have done if I had gone to visit. No one knew what we were to each other, and I didn't plan to tell them either. Since she clearly didn
Property of The Alpha Inferno
Chapter 20 - Inferno ColetteI was moved back to my room shortly after Zane had graced me with his unwelcomed presence. I had no idea that doctor Peterson wanted Zane to be the one to handle the rest of my care. I wasn't entirely sure she was sane after that because there was no way Zane Hendrix would take care of me. Not after how he treated me, locking me in a cell alone and asking me pointless questions because he clearly did not want to believe the truth of them. And then, to top it off, psycho Sophia had come in and nearly killed me. Honestly, I didn't even know how I was still alive. Because, between the amount of blood I lost from the head wound she gave me from smashing my head against the concrete floor and my already weakened state, I accepted my fate. I welcomed it. I even thought I was dead, but then, when I woke up with a pounding headache and the sound of ringing in my ears, I discovered that Selene still wanted to prolong the inevitable.I could feel my wolf in the b
Property of The Alpha Hate
Chapter 21 - HateZaneI had avoided Colette all day. I knew she wouldn't be alone; Paige had been asking about her since the night we captured her near the border. So to help keep me distracted, I dealt with pack issues and had Parker work on tracking down Sophia. She fled the packhouse, and he tracked her all the way to the outskirts of the Redmoon pack, somewhere near Georgian bay. It was where she was initially from before my pack claimed her small territory.Many of her family members moved closer to the heart of Redmoon, but some stayed behind. Her brother Tony was one of them. He was a big brute with a bad temper, he refused to leave his home, and I honestly didn't care what he did as long as he followed my orders and stayed loyal to me. But Sophia knew going out there would buy her some time to get her affairs in order. The bitch knew what was coming. Sure she didn't know Colette was my mate. Fuck, I didn't know it until I found her unconscious and bleeding on the floor of

Property of The Alpha Epilogue
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.
Property of The Alpha Magic
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,
Property of The Alpha Healing
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
Property of The Alpha Scared
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
Property of The Alpha Potential Threat
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,
Property of The Alpha Extravaganza
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
