GABE

The bar was hopping tonight, more crowded for a weekday night than usual.

Jamerson had informed us that we had business meetings tonight, and the Gammas shit for brain son was being returned to him tomorrow morning, all limbs attached; After we let Dynamite Al teach him a lesson.

My session with Bailey last night left me feeling somewhat relaxed, or at least relieving some of my constant tension.

I finished changing a keg and went to sit with Jamerson at ‘our’ table. He was nursing a whisky; one we had distilled ourselves and sold to numerous other establishments and some surrounding packs.

It wasn’t unusual for us to do business with packs, not just supply them with our products but also our more aggressive services. Especially to those weaker packs who required reinforcements when they were attacked by true rogues.

We never took sides. Only the color of money determined what side our services would support. They all knew it was nothing personal. Just business.

“Quiet a night, huh?” Jamerson said as I turned my attention to him, looking at him with skepticism.

“Are we at the same bar?” I chuckled looking around “Because seems like an unusually busy night tonight.”

It was strangely busy, but I detected nothing unusual than just that. At least nothing that made my wolf wary.

I groaned as I watched the main entrance door open, and Cassidy walked in. Her blonde hair was sprayed to perfection and her face was done up with bright red lipstick. Her short skirt and tight halter top didn’t leave much to the imagination.

She was a pretty girl, tall, slim, and easy on the eyes. She attracted a lot of attention and relished it. I too had found her quite pleasing until she opened her mouth, and her high-pitched voice caused an involuntary shiver to run down my back. Not because it was sexy, but because it reminded me of nails scraping against a metal surface. Sure, I had hit it a couple of times and had commanded her not to talk when I fucked her.

Until she wanted more. More I had no intention of giving her.

I pulled my eyes away, back to Jamerson and we eased into conversation for a few minutes until his face fell and became blank.

“Incoming.” He hissed and shifted uncomfortably.

“For fucks sake.” I sighed catching the approaching scent of overdone flowery perfume. Cassidy.

I can’t even remember how many times I have told her I’m not interested and to not come near me. She just didn’t get the fucking hint and I couldn’t have made it any plainer to her.

I turned just as she stopped to hover over our table. “Cassidy.” I ground out, acknowledging her presence with no emotion in my voice and a stern look on my face. Hopefully, she will get the hint.

“Gabe, babe, it’s been a hot minute, I’ve missed you.” She smiles and sticks her chest out, hoping I would be enticed by her generous-sized tits.

“What do you want Cassidy?” hoping to thwart her off with an icy tone.

She looked slightly hurt, her smile faltering for a second before she recovered and put on an even wider one. “I figured it had been a while, and thought maybe you needed taking care of,” She brought her hand up, lightly letting her bright red nails scrape down the uncovered part of my arm.

I shivered in revulsion, but she took it the wrong way. Cassidy sidled up next to me, expecting me to move over so she could sit, mistaking my disgust and thinking she lustfully affected me.

I did not move an inch.

“Thanks, but I was already taken care of.” I heard her huff in annoyance.

“I know how much pleasure I bring to you, Gabe. I know I’m much better than whoever you had earlier.” She purred, yet she sounded like a dying motor to me, nothing sexy at all. Cassidy was getting desperate.

“Stop being so desperate Cassidy, go find another member to pleasure because I ain’t interested,” I growl at her. At this point, I didn’t care how much of an asshole I sounded.

I saw Jamerson chuckle from the side of me. The struggle was real with this woman, and I had lost patience with her a long time ago. She was persistent. I had to give her that.

“One of these days Gabe, you will realize how good we are together. I just hope it’s not too late when you do.” She huffed out, throwing her hands on her hips obviously annoyed that I wouldn’t pay her the attention she so desperately wanted. 

“Yeah, when hell freezes over” Jamerson laughs, causing me to laugh out loud too. Jamerson took another sip of his drink in a bid to stifle his laugh.

Cassidy threw a glare at Jamerson, turned on her heel, and stomped off. I watched her cross the room and join a group of men who were hovering around a few of the other GT girls.

I shook my head, still laughing half-heartily. “That fucking girl is like a bad stain on your favorite shirt,” Jamerson said.

“No shit, I just can’t get rid of her.” I shook my head.

“You’re an Alpha Gabe, she wants the rank.” He tipped his glass at me before taking a sip, giving me a look like I should know this and be aware of it.

“We are Renegades, James, rogues just by another name.” I reminded him.

“Renegades, or not, you are still an Alpha wolf, and we are still a pack. That rank will have greedy bitches clawing at each other to be your chosen mate.”

“In that case, they will be fighting until my death. I have no interest in taking a mate. “I told him honestly.

Jamerson knew this. It was a conversation we had had many times. I didn’t want a mate, and I didn’t think I would ever find anyone I would want to be mated with.

I had absolutely no interest in tying myself and wolf to another. Even if by the grace of a miracle I found my destined mate, which was just as rare as a werewolf catching an STD. History says that werewolves could reject fated mates and that’s probably what I would do.

I scoffed at my own thought, Jamerson giving me a quizzical look from across the table. “Forget it,” I said shaking my head at him, not willing to even entertain that conversation.

In today’s world, it is rare to find a destined mate, especially as the werewolf population and human race had been so depleted after the Great War. Now, most ranked wolves took a chosen mate not knowing if or when they would ever find the mate the supposed Moon Goddess had made for them.

We live in a world where the rich stay rich and the poor get poorer. Where women were treated like trash and used as a means to fulfill a desire or breed a strong bloodline.

I was guilty of using women for my own pleasure; however, the difference was, that I never forced anyone. Our Good Time Girls were here because they wanted to be. We took care of them and protected them. They had the option to say no when they wanted to if they wanted to. And if any of my men disrespected my word or crossed the line, they would have to deal with me, and it wouldn’t be pretty.

If the GT girls found someone who wanted to claim them as a chosen, I would never stop the girls if that’s what they wanted.

The only exception was my sister, who was currently behind the bar serving drinks to the patrons. No one was allowed to touch her unless they wanted to be ripped limb from limb.

One of the waitresses dropped two new drinks off at our table. I told her thanks before she went back to serving others.

Jamerson and I sat in silence for a while, listening to the music over the speakers and observing. Killian had the night off, which meant he was either down at the cage, a place where a lot of underground trading and fighting took place. Or he was holed up somewhere, deep in some woman’s hole for the night.

We talked about upcoming jobs and a few other business matters as the music and chatter of the bar surrounded us. The main door opened again, and the chatter died down when an unknown wolf and three men entered. Creating a stale atmosphere as everyone looked at the strangers.

    GABEThe man, an obvious Alpha; stood tall and proud looking around the bar flanked by his two men, I took note that one had a Beta aura, and the other was a guard. His eyes landed on me, and I lifted my glass and downed the liquid in one go, still holding eye contact.Two of my men stood up blocking the Alpha’s path to me. This was either going to be a shit show or the Alpha wanted something.By the look of desperation written all over his face, I was guessing the latter.*Let him through* I linked my men. I would praise them later for doing their job, as I had told no one we were expecting a meeting with an Alpha. Curious eyes from the bar were all trained on the unknown Alpha, and I could see my Zeta’s stiffen, ready to fight if needed.The Alpha was unknown to me, not one I had previously encountered. The older man stepped forward closing in on our table, his men close behind him, constantly looking around watching their Alpha’s six.Good loyal men, who were all dressed nice, too n

    STIXSMy father came back late into the night, two days after he had left. I stayed up waiting for him, pacing the front of the pack house like a possessed cat. Ready to pounce as soon as he steps out of the car or through the door, and demand answers from him. I hate being left in the dark and not knowing what is going on.Finally, around 2 am his car pulls up. He, Beta Branston, and two of his top warriors exit the vehicle. He looks tired and worried, and I detect a little edginess in him. Heightening my curiosity at where he might have been even more.“Pops,” I call out to him as he tells his men goodnight. I stood there with my hands on my hips and an accusatory look on my face. “Where have you been?” I glare at him when he acknowledges me.“Tomorrow, Hope. Let’s talk tomorrow. This old man is too tired tonight.” He says while hooking an arm around my shoulder and leading me back into the pack house.I knew he was tired; I wasn’t an idiot. I could see the dark circles under his ful

    STIXI glanced towards my father who was wearing a sheepish look. Yeah, he should have talked to me last night. “You can call me Stix’s” I reply coolly, taking his large hand and feeling the warmth from it. I expected him to show dominance and grip me, instead, his large thumb stroked the back of my small hand in a flirtatious kind of way.My stomach flutters as this handsome man locks his deep blue orbs with mine. He was easy on the eyes, confident and built, and a good foot plus taller than me. His blue-washed jeans hugged his thighs and his white shirt stretched across his arms tightly showing off his toned muscles. The black vest he wore donned the skull of a wolf with crossbones.I furrowed my eyes, trying to think where I had seen that image before.“Stixs? That’s unusual,” The blond hunk chuckles.“She was given that nickname as a kid, it stuck.” My father laughs along with him but for a different reason.Stixs was the name my mother had given to me because I didn’t take any st

    GABEKillian had come back last night after spending a day at the Raven Knights' pack. I’m sitting in the usual booth waiting for him to grace me with his presence. I would have had a sit-down last night, but he didn’t pull into town until the early hours of the morning, saying he needed sleep and attention. Making a point to say ‘attention first then sleep’.The Raven Knights pack was a good day’s drive from here, so he had been gone almost three days.I watch my sister dry and shelve glasses, preparing to open this afternoon. I smile to myself knowing the bar gives her purpose and insanely keeps her sane.“I can feel your eyes on me, Gabe!” She shouts with her back turned to me. “Why?” She questions still putting up glasses.“It's because big bro loves you to death,” Jamerson says walking in through the back of the bar and leaning over the end of the counter.I let out a low growl when I see the way my best friend's eyes roam over my sister. *Whatever you are thinking… I’ll kill you.

    STIXSPulling the heavy door open to one of the enormous greenhouses that sit on our pack lands, I contemplate what my father is trying to do. The hot air hits me and I struggle to pull air into my lungs. The vast difference between the heat outside and the muggy heat inside the greenhouse is a sudden change and it takes a minute to adjust.I lift my nose and scent the air, trying to catch a whiff of Ruby’s perfume. The only thing I can smell is the overbearing scent of oranges.I couldn’t get it out of my head that my father was willing to give every penny he had to a mercenary pack of wolves just to keep me from falling into Alpha Crane's hands.On one hand, I’m proud of my father for sticking up for me. On the other hand, I just can't wrap my head around him sacrificing so much just for me. We couldn’t go to war with the Crimson Moon pack. We would lose for sure. With or without this band of rogue wolves. That and I wasn’t worth the lives of our warriors or the future of this pack.

    GABE“So, what are you thinking oh fearless leader of ours?” Jamerson asks as I roll another barrel his way to change out.I lean against a case of liquor, some of our own brand, Propping an elbow on top. He was talking about the Raven Knights pack. “I think you should tell me your thoughts.” I shrug watching him re-hook the line to the keg.“No. No. You don’t get to put this on me.” He laughs, glancing at me. “This is your call, Gabe.”Swiping a hand down my face, realizing I need to shave when I feel the rough stubble scratch my palm. “The cause is sound. The money not so much.” I cut Jamerson off as he tries to rebuttal my statement. “But… I keep thinking of my sister. How she didn’t have a choice, how her voice wasn’t heard. Then think of how the alpha is willing to give up everything he has to keep his daughter out of the hands of a tyrannical pack.”“So, we’re taking the job?” Jamerson stands to his full height now all the kegs have been changed, crosses his arms, and sits on the

    STIXSShifting uncomfortably, I looked at myself in the vanity mirror. The midnight blue dress was too tight. Too poofy. Too pretty. And so not me. I wasn’t used to wearing glamorous clothes such as this. But it had belonged to my mother.I only wish I wasn’t wearing it for creepy Crane and instead, wearing it to some fancy gala or party.Ruby finished putting the last touches on my hair. Even that was too fancy for me.“You look just like your mother.” I glance back in the mirror to see my father filling the door frame to my room.I smile when I see the sheen that coats his eyes. I once asked him why he never took another mate. He told me he could never love another like he did her and that the pain of her loss still sat heavily on his heart.Through the years I had hoped that he would meet someone to fill that void. But he never has to my knowledge. I was young when my mother was murdered and though I felt her absence and had fond memories of her, it wasn’t the same for me.“Thank yo

    STIXSThe clock on the wall reads 10 pm. Internally I groan and outwardly I shift uncomfortably in my seat. The dress annoys the shit out of me as it gathers around my waist.I wonder how much longer I needed to sit with my father and entertain Alpha Crane. Who was not going easy on the wine either.The ticking of the second hand on the clock got louder as I tried to drown out Crane’s slimy voice while he proceeded to tell my father the benefits of our packs merging under him once he claimed me.I tilt my head and flick my gaze from the clock to my father whose face seems to be reddening with each passing second. Finally, I pay attention to the conversation.“With our growth and your fuel crops Crimson Moon will be the most powerful pack this side of the world.” Crane sips the dark berry drink, a few drops dribbling down his potholed chin. Not bothering with a napkin, he wipes the spillage with the back of his suit jacket. “You will be able to step down from Alpha and my heir will take

    STIXGroggily my eyes open and I snuggle against Gabriel, enjoying his warmth and the feel of his hard muscles under my head and fingers as I curled around him tighter. Careful not to lean on his wound.We arrived back at Ravens Knights in the early hours of the morning, happy to say that Seffy and Ruby were safe.The council did come looking for Seffy, but our pack had enough sense to send them packing. Ruby had hidden Seffy in the walls when they demanded to search the pack house and grounds.Gabriel stirs, his long arm reaching over and pulling me on top of him. He smiles, big brown eyes focusing on mine. “Good morning,” he says leaning up to kiss me, wincing when his other arm snakes around my waist.He stops and looks at my bandaged stomach with concern. “It’s fine,” I tell him, looking down and seeing a small amount of blood that had seeped through the bandage. I didn’t have the heart to tell him to be gentle when he took me earlier this morning. I liked his rough hands and the w

    GABEWe searched the grounds for the beta, councilman, or whatever the fuck Aldric was. Sent scouts to search the territory, even Crimson Moon warriors volunteered to help, stating that he was worse than Crane and was the one who really controlled the pack. He and his division of special council warriors. Unfortunately, there was no sign of him.That was okay because I knew where he was going. Running back to the Abby with his tail tucked between his legs. Either karma or I would catch up with him one day soon.As that thought departed, another entered my mind. The last words he said to me. “We need to go back to the Raven Knights!” I suddenly blurted out, practically issuing an order, thinking of Seffy and what the beta had said.In my fury-driven state to find Hope, his admission had slipped my mind. Panic now rose, fully taking over and I became angry at myself thinking how could I have almost forgotten his threat that Seffy was in danger. I was the worst brother ever.I didn’t wait

    STIXKillian’s eyes were wide, a vein ticked in his neck, and he tongued the side of his cheek. I could see how pissed he was that Crane had a hold of me, and he couldn’t do anything to help me. “It’s okay Killian,” I tell him, feeling his frustration and trying to think of a way out of my current situation.Drawing in a deep breath, letting it out slowly and steadily, I thought, this was how I was going to die.After everything I had been through, everything my pack and the renegades had been put through, it was going to end with sadness.A tear fell from my eye at the thought of never seeing Ruby or Josh again. Rolling down my cheek, off the edge of my jaw, and onto Crane’s grimy hand. Another fell because I would never have the chance to be held by Gabriel Grayson again, to feel his touch, or get to know the real werewolf behind his brooding personality.I had fallen in love with the Renegade Alpha without even realizing it. I shudder as I recall the way he made love to me. Those sl

    STIXWhen I saw the man holding a big silver weapon, I knew what it was. I had been told what guns were but had never seen one until then.My heart plummeted as the ring of a shot rang out, hitting Gabriel. To my surprise and relief, Gabriel didn’t go down. I thought for sure it would have killed him.Then I saw the man aim again and something inside me snapped. Not like the fury or rage I felt towards Alpha Crane, but something more horrified, scared, and desperate. Without even thinking about it, like another being had taken over my body and mind, I shifted into my wolf form, pouncing towards the assailant.My wolves’ teeth latched onto the man's shoulder, gnawing and shaking. Another loud bang sounded, and I felt a burning sensation start in the belly of my wolf. I whimpered as the pain registered, falling on top of the man and then not remembering anything else that happened until now.Gripping the side of my stomach, I sit up looking around. I was in a small hut-like house, other

    GABEFacing the five guards, I now stand on the same side of the gate as I quickly and effectively knock them out. Though they didn’t put up much of a fight.A small battalion of fighters appeared as if they had been waiting for us. Some brandished knives and a sword or two, most were prepared to face us using hand-to-hand combat.This was an all-and-out brawl, a fight I had been needing for a long time. I was in my essence, punching, kicking, and clotheslining anyone who came near as I headed towards the main house in search of Hope.Adrenaline pumped through me, the feral wild inside waking and demanding to come out and play. I was hyper-sensitive and aware of my surroundings, my eyes were sharp as the wolves,’ my ears keen and listening, focusing on the shadows and adjusting to any bright lights.I tore at my shirt feeling restrained, discarding the fabric to the floor. I could see Crane in the distance, and I homed in on his location, making a beeline for the revolting alpha. Leavi

    STIXThe sound of a howl, loud, deep, threatening, eerie, and full of the promise of death, sends a shiver down my spine.I rise from the cold floor, wrapping my hands around the bars of my cell. I don’t know how, but I knew that howl was Gabriel. One after another, several more howls could be heard. I recognized my pack, the others I did not but I knew they had come for me.I relished the thought that Gabriel was here, and maybe he was here to rescue me, I used the emotions that came with it to ignite my determination.Despite my current situation and condition, a wave of arousal rolled over me as I thought of the renegade alpha.It was time for me to get out of here and join them. I use the hairpin, shoving it in the lock and wiggling it around, trying to find the latch. A few seconds and a little more wiggling and the joyful sound of the latch clicking open, filled my ears.Slowly pushing the barred door open, I looked around, making sure no one was there. But they had left me down

    GABEImpatiently, I gave Crane his ten minutes. I paced in front of the gates, my eyes flicking between the worn asphalt and the other side of the iron gate as I waited for the weak alpha to show himself.The evening had turned darker, and the heat of the day was turning humid. Jamerson and Killian stood silently waiting.I was testy at best, wild, and livid. My nostrils flared with each heavy step as I anticipated Crane showing himself. The vein in my neck twitches and pulses. My stomach began to ache as if I had been punched, and a flare of anxiety wracked through me suddenly.Beneath my own heated feelings, I felt something else. More like someone else’s. I knew it was Hope. It was as if she was right there and I could feel her, smell her.Just as I had had enough of waiting, my patience running out—feeling that time had run out for Hope, I growled out menacingly, ready to lead an attack on the Crimson Moon pack—I see the shadowed figure of Crane come strolling down the road.He sto

    STIXFeeling better after drinking the water and biting into the orange—sucking all the juices, I left the soup untouched—It didn’t smell right, and I wasn’t about to let myself be drugged once more. I sat at the end of the bed and waited.It feels like hours, and it probably was, by the way the light shining through the slats shifted and the room became darker when the clunking of the locks could be heard again.Jumping to my feet, I’m not quick enough before Alpha Crane and the same woman who brought the food come into the room, followed by two guards. I’m not sure what I was going to do but I bolted for the door, only to be stopped.Crane’s hands fly out grabbing my upper arms and holding me back. “You are more resourceful than I gave you credit for.” He says, pulling my body against his and making me cringe as I feel his arousal press against my leg.“You idiot!” I scald the older alpha. “You know you’re going to pay for this. My pack and the renegades will come for me!”Pinching m

    GABEI got Jamerson on the radio. He and Dynamite Al had been patiently waiting for any movement from the Crimson Pack. “I sent out a scout, but nothing. The patrol guards are in position, they seem to be taking extra care in watching their borders today. Otherwise, there’s no movement, the only suspicious thing is that they aren’t or haven’t appeared to prepare to launch an attack on Raven Knights.”I mull over his words, more than sure that Crane had Hope now. I couldn’t think of any other reason why Crane wouldn’t be making his play.Beta Branston and Gamma Elijah agreed with my theory. There was no one else, any of us could think of who would kidnap Hope. And after what the Crimson Moon beta had pulled in my hometown, it wasn’t a so far-fetched theory.That simmering rage that sat just below the surface began to boil again, rising to the surface as I thought of them taking Hope and what they had done to Cassidy. They had taken women from our town, abused them, and now Hope.I wasn’
