Alaska POV
I can feel the concern in Alpha Kai. There is so much he does not know about my relationship with Finn. When my brother carelessly caused the death of Alpha Larringer's daughter and I was snatched out of my home in the middle of the night, I was alone and afraid. My parents would not dare to speak up against Alpha Larringer. Alpha Larringer decided to kill me that night to make amends for what my brother took for him. It was Finn that saved my life.
Finn stepped forward and asked Alpha Larringer to spare my life because Finn declared he was in love with me and that we had secretly been carrying on an affair. I had never spent any time with Finn, but I agreed with Finn's lie. I did not know at the moment that the little lie Finn told came with extraordinary consequences, and neither did her.
That night Alpha Larringer demanded that Finn and I become engaged and that we would be married. Alpha Larringer put one condition on sparing my life,
Finn POVThe headlights of the SUV are blinding as Alpha Kai drives away with Alaska. At least she is safe and happy. Alaska deserves to be happy and with someone who loves her. I hope Alpha Kai is the one for her. I know she says he is her mate, but that does not mean he isn't a dog who likes to chase women. Maybe this is new to him. I hope he continues to care for her, but what if he does not? What if he breaks her heart? Then I will be the one to pick up the pieces and make her whole again."Finn, let's go," Henry growls at me. I allow Henry to flex and pull me alongside him. In reality, I could kick his ass and everyone here, but I go along with them. My abilities far outweigh the way I look. I might not be as big as the rest of them, but I am angrier than them.Henry leads me to three wolves waiting for me. "Finn meet Jake, Briggs, and Or these guys are your new best friends," Henry says. He gives me a little shove. I turn back to look at him. I eyeball him but say nothing. This
Alaska POVIt is strange to have Alpha Kai in my head all the time. Especially since I think about Finn often, it is not that I loved him or love him now; it is that I feel like I owe him. I do owe him, to be blunt about it. I owe him my life. I would not be here with Alpha Kai if it were not for Finn. So, in reality, we both owe Finn.I look up from my book to see Alpha Kai looking in on me. "What are you reading?" Alpha Kai asks me. I can tell he is reading my mind. "I am looking at wedding dresses and thinking, but you already know that," I say. Maybe I am a little too sarcastic with him, but Alpha Kai knows what I am thinking, so why ask me? Alpha Kai walks toward me. I am lying across the bed looking through a book of wedding dresses. "None of this is me. I am so frustrated," I snap as he sits down on the side of the bed. Alpha Kai takes a deep breath and then looks at me. I am almost instantly overcome with an indescribable emotion, electricity, and love for him. "There you a
Alpha KaiMaybe I am wrong about Finn. I know I have a she-wolf missing; Finn was the last person anyone saw her with the previous night. My soon-to-be wife feels she owes Finn a debt for saving her life, and I personally know deep down he cannot be trusted. There is something about him that is not right. I have not figured this complex situation out yet, but I will, and when I do, I will take a lot of joy in killing Finn."NOOO!" I turn quickly to the left of me. That is Alaska screaming. "Everyone get to Alaska now!" I growl. Henry, Jay, and Antoine run in the direction of the scream. I look around to see what wolves are with me. Before I can say anything, everyone is running in the direction of the scream. Henry is leading the way. I am angry as hell at Finn and myself. Why did I allow her to go talk to Finn without me? Because she would have gone even if I had said no to her. I shift into my wolf form and begin running with my men in the direction of Alaska. Henry goes to the
Beta BaileyI arrive home after a long trip for Alpha Kai. As I approach the pack land, things seem to be unraveling. I can hear wolves talking, and everyone sounds angry. I go straight to the pack house to see what the hell is going on with everyone. I open the door to see Alpha Kai and Henry at the table talking. Alpha Kai looks up at me. He looks at me differently. I am not going to lie about our friendship. It is special. I work hard for him, and we occasionally play hard together. I guess I was expecting to come home to a stiff drink and some playtime. "What is going on?" I ask. I was not prepared for the words that come from Alpha Kai."My mate was kidnapped," Alpha Kai says. "MATE! When did that happen?" I ask. Alpha Kai has a mate, no fucking way. Not this playboy, fuck everything he can pin down. There is no fucking way. "She came here with the new Beta Finn, and things went south fast," Alpha Kai says. He is distraught but determined to get her back. He spends the next h
Alpha Kai POVI leave Beta Bailey behind to deal with Finn. I want to kill him, but Bailey insists I allow her time with him. I have always trusted her opinion before, and there is no reason why I should not trust her now."Is there anything you would like me to do, Alpha?" Henry asks me.I get out of the black Suv and slam the door. "The only thing I want is Alaska home. You can start gathering wolves. We will rescue her as soon as Finn gives up the location," I say."And if he does not?" Henry asks me.I had not thought of that. What if he does not tell Beta Bailey everything? Has anyone ever been able to resist her and her questions? No, I think not. Beta Bailey will have all the answers. I know she will."Start looking for Jake. Go back to the security quarters and get with Beta Bailey. I want a full report by nightfall, and wolves gathered to find my Alaska. We leave at midnight," I growl."Yes, sir," Henry says. He looks worried, but I am sure how to read his face or what he is
Alpha KaiBeta Bailey seems to think she has this all figured out, and to be honest, and I like the way she is thinking. Of course, I have always liked the way she thinks. Beta Bailey has a good head on her shoulders, and that is why I use her for my most important tasks. She always comes through for me, and this task is the most important task I have ever given her. "How do you plan to use Finn for bait?" I ask Beta Bailey. She smiles, and I can see the wheels turning inside her bright mind. "I think we should send Finn back home. We send him right to the wolf den, and I truly think the Larringer Alpha will let him crawl back. I mean, after all, it is the Alpha's son, and he wants his son to be with Alaska, so let's send good old Finn home to daddy," Beta Bailey says. I lean over the railing of the front porch. I watch as Henry and Jay talk with some of the wolves that plan to help us retrieve Alaska. I have an army. Now all I need is a plan. I think Beta Bailey has the plan. "Ok
Alaska POVI am cold, so very freezing cold. I feel something damp beneath. Is it water or what? I cannot tell. The room is dark, and I can hear something that sounds like drip drip drip, definitely water. I hear footsteps coming my way and talking. The voice, it is familiar. It is Alpha Larringer, maybe. The dark creeks and then opens. A small light comes into the room, and I see him. It is Alpha Larringer. "Hello, Alaska," Alpha Larringer says. He is smiling and looking more devious than usual. I have dealt with Alpha Larringer more over the years than I ever wanted, and now I am his captive. I know Alpha Kai is about to lose his mind, and I know he is blaming Finn for this, but it is neither of their faults. I am not sure if I should take the blame or not! No, this is my family's fault. None of this is my fault or Finn's. "What do you want?" I ask Alpha Larringer. I try to stand up and face him, but I cannot move. My arms are heavy. I look at my wrist and see something silver in
Alaska POVI sit on the side of the bed with Finn beside me. I hold his hand in case someone is watching, plus it feels nice to have someone I know comfort me right now. I want to ask him about the girl who escaped, but I am unsure if I can. "How did you find me, Finn?" I ask him. He smiles and leans in as if he is going to kiss me. He understands why I am asking what I am asking. "I had a visitor at the packhouse. She is safe," Finn whispers. "I feel safe," I say. I do not feel safe, but I have to play the part. I have to pretend I love him and pretend I am sorry that I slept with Alpha Kai. The girl was with me when I first woke up. She was alone before I got there. She said she was scared. I remember a little about the first place Alpha Larringer held me, and then I woke up in the basement. I wonder why he waited until I was in the cellar to come to terrorize me, or did he?"My brain is scrambled eggs from all the wolfsbane. How long have I been here?" I ask Finn. Finn looks a
