The Alpha King's Curse 93. Heartbeats
Jackson stood on his balcony with his hands in his pocket and his senses reaching out as far as possible. It had been three weeks since the attack, and he hadn’t slept much.“We have to do it,” someone whispered. “He just ripped apart a whole pack less than a month ago. You’re all crazy right now. Keep me out of it.”“Didn’t you hear what that woman said? We’re putting our lives on the line for a fucking rogue.”“If that were true, the Circle would have come back by now. That woman was full of shit.”The whispers were coming from deep in the woods, far enough away that other people couldn’t hear them. It had been like this since the shock of the attack had worn off. They were unhappy and planning something.Most of the conversations were had silently between two individuals because none of this treasonous shit could be discussed in the packlink where he could hear them. But lately, the group had become big enough to sneak off in the middle of the night to make their plans.The old hi
The Alpha King's Curse 94. Road Trip
Layla ignored the pain in her chest as she watched Jackson walk away.He had been like that every morning, the only time she saw him. Since he had taken her for that walk, he had kept his distance as he had said he would.She’d never been more miserable in her life.She had never needed or relied on a man since her mother had left and her dad had started neglecting them, so she couldn’t understand why she felt so attached to Jackson in the first place. Why would she be miserable just because she hadn’t spoken to him in weeks?But on top of that, a big ball of anger was sitting on her chest, waiting for him to come close enough so she could unleash it. How could he just walk away after what had happened on that walk? He had seen that red wolf; she knew he had. He’d looked right at it, and when he had talked about taking her back to her cell, he’d angered the wolf and stepped back from it. He had also probably seen it the first time, which explained his strange behaviour. He’d let he
The Alpha King's Curse 95. Who To Trust
Jackson walked ahead of Layla into the lobby of his hotel and headed straight for the elevator. That had been the longest car ride of his life. He should have thought about what being close to her did to him and gone in a different car. It didn’t matter that he loathed her; his body had other ideas. 'Loathe her? Say it louder for those in the back. Maybe they'll believe you.'And then Cain had decided to speak just because Layla was next to him. He had focused on nothing else except Layla and that title heartbeat. He punched the button to call the elevator harder than necessary and then looked back at the lobby. He frowned and sniffed the air. Something felt off, but he couldn’t put his finger on it. That feeling that something was going to go wrong intensified even though he was away from his territory and treasonous pack.It was early afternoon and a weekend, so the lobby was busy. All human, though, and none of them looked out of place. He didn't sense any danger in the air. E
The Alpha King's Curse 96. Connecting Dots
Layla turned away from the closed door to look at her sister. That hadn’t sounded like an employer/employee conversation, and by the look on Brit’s face, she had already figured that out.“Is he forcing you to sleep with him?” Brit asked straight away.“What? No!”There had been no force whatsoever, even if, in her head, she had been against it. “Then why are you dressed like this? You look different. Your hair, your face, everything. You look like he’s had you polished up and dressed up, so he won’t be embarrassed to be seen with you.”“Don’t be ridiculous,” she snorted. “Then why did it look and sound like you and Mr. King were arguing like lovers?”She sighed and walked back towards her sister. Britney was too observant at times. If she had been the one taken by Jackson, she would have figured things out within a day.“Why don’t we clean this pigsty up first so we can relax and talk properly?”“I don’t want you to clean for me. You clean all day for Mr King if I’m to believe what
The Alpha King's Curse 97. Snitches
“Are you sure?”Jackson walked towards the elevators. The other warriors were already waiting."She called Costas Markopoulos, and I heard him tell her to make sure you didn't leave. He said he’s on his way."He should have ended that rat the first time he had seen them, but using Layla's fear of him had been to his advantage at the time. He hadn't expected the bond to strengthen the way it had, so Layla's future had been of no concern to him. But now, the thought of leaving her in such a dangerous world had his heart twisting. Costas was nothing compared to the Circle or his pack, but he was still a dangerous human. Layla would be out there by herself with no one watching over her."Watch all the entrances. I need someone to stay here in case someone comes up."The service elevator doors opened, and they let him on first before they piled in after him. They couldn't go through the lobby; it was too exposed. The service elevator would take them to the staff-only area at the back of t
The Alpha King's Curse 98. Catching A Rat
“Shall I bring you a drink from the bar, sir?”Jackson looked up from the newspaper in his hands to find Miss Roberts hovering over him. He had seen her at the front desk when he had walked into the lobby, and her anxiety was through the roof. Did she know that she had put herself in a dangerous situation? And if she did, why was she risking it? What was she hoping to achieve by the ambush she was trying to set up?“Are you working in the kitchen, too, these days?” he asked.“I’m just being hospitable, sir, since I’m on my break,” she answered with a smile. He could feel the hostility in her tone. It made him wonder if this was the real her and she’d had an ulterior motive when she tried to get close to him. Had she been trying to get information out of him all this time?“Instead of getting me a drink, maybe you can arrange for someone to do the work I pay them for in my suite,” he said dismissively. “Unless you want me to fire all of you and start afresh?”Andrea’s eyes widened.“
The Alpha King's Curse 99. Ruined
The dinner service had already started in the hotel when Jackson walked out of the elevator on his floor. The man guarding the girls was already on his feet, waiting for him.‘I need you to keep an eye on Miss. Roberts. Follow her home and also get her phone records. I need to know who she’s been talking to,’ he ordered when he reached the door. He had spent enough time with Costas and his men to know they were not associated with the Hunters, but he had to make sure he’d contained the situation. The more he’d spoken to him, the more he’d believed Andrea had fed Costas this information out of spite for being scorned, but he had to make sure. ‘Yes, Alpha.’‘Get Miss Townsend’s contact information. I don’t want any loose ends.”‘And the others?’‘They’ll check out the hideout after they clean up. I’ll watch the girls this weekend; just get it all done before I leave.’‘Yes, Alpha,’ he answered with a bow before he walked to the elevator. He stood outside the door for a moment before
The Alpha King's Curse 100. What He Deserved
Jackson lowered his head to hers and waited to see if she would turn away. She needed to. Something told him there would be no turning back this time. But if she pushed him off, that could kick some sense into his head. If she reminded him how much her human side wanted to leave him, he wouldn’t have to break his word to himself. He wouldn’t have to fall into the trap again. But Layla’s breath hitched, and her lips parted. He could see the fire in her eyes as lust poured off her in waves that wiped out any other emotion she had been feeling. “Do you know what it does to me when you challenge me, my little mate?” he whispered when his lips were a hair’s breadth away from hers. “I swore I would stay away from you. Stop me now, Layla, because this won’t end well for either of us.”Layla didn’t push him away. Her beautiful glowing eyes fluttered closed as she leaned into him and put her mouth on his. And just like that, the hole in his chest disappeared. His dead heart started to bea
