The Alpha King's Curse 26. Out Of The Window
Jax tightened his fist around his cutlery as he sensed the reactions around the room. The hatred, the disgust. It was no less than what he had expected, but he hadn’t anticipated how hard it would be not to react to it. Cain was still lying low, so once again, he was the one who wanted to rip heads off.He also hadn’t anticipated how he would feel when she’d walked out of the bathroom looking like a goddess sent to make him lose his mind. It was just a dress, and he had already seen her hair out of the braid when he’d made love to her. But this was a temptation on another level.She’d walked out of that room and had claimed another part of his soul. Something had flared inside him at the sight of her that changed something. His whole body had tightened in reaction. Her scent seemed stronger. The pull between them was stronger. And it appeared his need to protect her was stronger.After finding out that she was in danger, the best thing to do would have been to hide her away, but he k
The Alpha King's Curse 27. Raging Storms And Hard-Ons
“Shit!” Layla leaned against the wall and rubbed her foot. She’d known going barefoot was a bad idea, but she hadn’t expected it to be an obstacle so soon in her escape. There was something sharp in the bushes. She couldn't see what she had stepped on. But there was no time to worry about the pain now. At any moment, Jackson would realise she hadn’t returned to the table. It was darker than usual because of the storm clouds, and the rain was pouring down faster than she’d expected. The light from the bathroom window showed it was already forming puddles and flowing in rivulets. She had been drenched in seconds. Her hair was plastered down her face and getting in her way. She did a quick braid before she pushed the sides of her dress up and tucked them into her panties to allow her more movement. Her dress felt like a second skin and would not protect her against the elements, but it would have to do.She felt around the ground for the knife she had taken from the table and made sure
The Alpha King's Curse 28. The Chase
Jax took control of his beast and shifted as he watched the drenched woman before him.He’d warned her not to run. Cain loved to chase. He was hard from the adrenaline, and all he wanted to do now was fuck. She was lucky he hadn’t pinned her down and marked her. And now she was on her fucking knees like she was waiting for him to desecrate that pretty mouth. He groaned at the tempting picture just as lightning struck and illuminated him.Even with the sound of the beating rain and thunder, he heard her gasp as she fell back. He heard everything. Her pumping heart, her whimper. Her bare legs splayed in front of her as she tried to scramble backwards on her ass. She looked helpless and completely vulnerable, and the beast inside him reared his ugly head, frothing at the mouth to dominate her.He stepped forward, uncaring that he was in the middle of the road and a storm was raging around them. All he wanted was to sink in her flesh right where she was and show her who she belonged to.
The Alpha King's Curse 29. Betrayed
Jax stood by the windows overlooking the front of the packhouse as he watched his warriors return from a long night out. The storm had died down but it was still drizzling. They would have been miserable being in it all night, but he knew they wouldn’t complain.He should have been with them. Instead, he’d been stuck between Layla’s legs. He turned and sat on the ledge as he watched the woman sleep. Last night had been different. It wasn’t just because of the chase but everything else. Her scent, the emotions, everything. It felt like he had already marked her even though he’d had to push Cain back several times in the night to stop him.Having her so close to him was becoming too much. But all the other options had been removed from the table when that wolf had tried to hex his unborn child. Layla wouldn’t be safe anywhere outside the compound.She was trapped here, and every second seemed to pull her closer. Once she got pregnant, maybe he would have to be the one to leave the comp
The Alpha King's Curse 30. The Key
Jackson threw a pair of sweats on so Layla wouldn't wonder why he was walking around the packhouse naked. He’d already taken a risk when he let Cain chase her in the storm. When he left the room, he opened his senses to find Dylan.And when he did, Cain reared his head, ready to finally avenge his mate. He didn’t know if he would let Cain deal with him, but he was so fucking tempted. He was the Alpha King. He could command Alphas and all their packs—they trembled in their boots at the sight of him. His bloodline was the most feared and revered because he never lost a fight. He’d raided and killed, sometimes just for the fuck of it. The fear that always filled the room when he entered was for a very good reason. And Dylan thought he could get away with lying to him?The whole pack thought he had gone soft just because he’d taken a step back. He felt challenged from all angles, and his beast was frothing at the mouth to make them remember his name. Rage coursed through his blood as h
The Alpha King's Curse 31. She's Ours
Cain saw the rogue wolves as they reached the end of the road. The warrior had been right; it wasn’t just their scent that was wrong. They had shifted into their wolves and were running in formation. Rogues were never that organised. Once wolves left their pack for whatever reason, they usually died within a month if they didn’t find another pack to join. If they happened to come across a rogue pack, they lived longer, but they had no rules or structure. They stuck together out of necessity, but when they went on a hunt, it was each wolf for themselves. These wolves had their heads lowered, teeth barred, and their ears back as they ran down the streets, one at the front, two in the middle and three at the back. This was a fighting formation. They weren’t hunting for food scraps; they had already run past several houses and not raided anything.And not only that, they were out in broad daylight. Anyone could smell a rogue a mile away, day or night, but they preferred to hunt under th
The Alpha King's Curse 32. The Morning After
Layla hadn’t meant to fall asleep after Jackson had left the room, but she must have because the next thing she saw was Jackson walking back into the room with blood all over his body. Or maybe she was still dreaming. Her eyelids felt too heavy, and she was still drained after their activities last night. Heat spread through her body when she remembered what Jackson had done to her. What she had done to Jackson.She covered her face and groaned. “Get a grip, Layla,” she scolded herself. Last night had been an unending wave of pleasure. She’d been desperate for Jackson—his touch, his kiss. She wasn’t a prude, but she would never have had sex outside if she’d been in her right mind. And she would never have allowed him to do any of the things he had done once he’d brought her to his room. Everything had been so desperate, and part of her felt like she would die if she didn’t have him. She had to avoid Diedre and her drug shots from now on. She was on a roller coaster with her emotio
The Alpha King's Curse 33. What If...
“What did he mean, Alpha?” Jackson turned away from the window that overlooked another training field to face Dylan. “You know where we found Layla. She’s not a rogue, Dylan,” he sighed as he returned to his seat at the head of the conference table. There was a pile of business paperwork he had to go over before he started looking at the official reports from the incidents yesterday and earlier. “I know that. She’s human,” Dylan snorted with barely disguised disgust. His fist clenched, crumpling the paper in his hand. He had to stop doing that. He couldn’t react to every single little thing someone said about Layla. “But why would they target her?” Dylan continued. “I think they’re targeting me. The whole pack probably already thinks I’m fucking a rogue. Maybe whoever is doing this wants to undermine me, somehow.” “But why?” He pushed the paperwork away from him and leaned back in his chair. “I don’t know,” he lied. “I’ve pissed off many people in my life. Maybe this is
