The Alpha Within Her Chapter 31
LUCIUS Bastian stood tall at the podium. I still can’t peg this guy, but I’m starting to not mind him too much. River Blake is OK. A bit smug, like Bastian, but tolerable. Luke is fucking annoying after I let it slip that I might like the walking headache, but I think as far as friends go, I could do worse. Jayson is fine. Now that I’m mated to Wren, I think I can let the whole dating thing go. Besides, the dude’s a little stressed lately with pup number two on the way. Twins from what I hear. Speaking of twins. Our newest council member, Grey Andrews, is joining the meeting after his dad retired. His twin, Wes, is salty to say the least. Grey is someone I could do without. He has this whole military thing going on and thinks he’s king shit. He’s trying desperately to get me to let him in and I’m not budging. “No!” I growl. “Why not?” Everyone else at this table has been there? I think I should be allowed to see it.” Grey growls. Wren looks at me. “He has a point, Alpha.” I scowl

WREN‘Raven. Don’t let go of my hand. We have to run!’‘Wren, I’m scared! Where’s mama?’‘I don’t know. NOW RUN!’The air fills with screams and death.‘Raven? RAVEN!! RAVEN!! WHERE ARE YOU?’‘RAAVVEENNN!!’I jolt up in bed. My body covered in sweat. My face wet.I scrub a hand down my face. Breathing heavy. I grab the practically empty whisky bottle on my night stand, pop the cap and chug back a shot.This is a typical morning for me. Has been for the last ten years.I have a shower and go to the mirror. I wipe off the condensation revealing my blue eyes, wet jet-black hair. My face void of expression.Do you know what it’s like?To wake up day after day. You go to work. You socialize with people. Walk around acting like you belong there, but you know you don’t.People tell you. You’re part of the family. You’re included. Part of the pack, but you never feel it.You feel the separation. You feel the loneliness.Do you know what it’s like?I do.But…. I wake up. Go to work. Socialize.

WREN“Raven.” I breathe. I’m consumed with grief and guilt.My beautiful baby sister, I lost ten years ago in the storm, was standing right in front of me.Her blue eyes just as gorgeous as my mother’s. Her hair jet black like my father’s. Now I see it. She’s still as beautiful as I remember even though she was only ten when I lost her in a crowd of fleeing people.“Raven….” My breath hitches as I’m overcome by the visions of that day.I start to break down, but I don’t take my eyes off her.“Wren!” She runs to me. She throws her arms around my neck, crying. “I missed you so much.”I can barely touch her. I think this a dream. A mirage. A trick of my mind because I’ve been alone for so long.I raise my shaky arms. Not knowing if I could even trust that what they felt was real.When my hands connect with her back, I lose it. “Oh my God….” I cry out. “Raven...” I hug her so tight as I sob hard.I push her back. Swallowing my shock. “How? How is this possible?” I pull her into me again.

WRENWe talked the whole way to Helena. Raven has grown up so much. She told me how she likes to hunt and she likes helping the women of the pack.I asked her if she had a boyfriend because that’s what sisters do and she confirmed. His name is Dale Hunter. He apparently treats her right and she loves him. I’m happy for her.She asked me the same question. I told her about Jayson and how we were in love for a year. When the Blue Moon showed us we weren’t mates, we fell apart. Jayson couldn’t handle it. He was so sure. I never dated anyone else after that.We talked about my job with the Alliance. I told her all the stories of the events in the last three years. Told her about Torrent, White, and Rennet. I talked about how my friends all found their mates. It was great. Unreal actually. It used to be that finding your fated mate was rare, but when it comes to my friends, they all hit the jackpot and are now riding the fated bond high.I wish I could have the same. Aside from Jayson, the

WRENA tear slips from my unblinking eye.“Lucius.” I choke.He rises to his feet as his face twists into anger. His lips turn to a snarl. “Get out.”I snap out of my shock and swallow. “Lucius, wait….”He steps forward, pointing at the door. “Get Out!” He yelled.I look around the room and back at him. “Lucius, please….” I beg as more tears fall.“GET OUT!!” His growl was dripping with Alpha tone.I turned on my heels and ran. I ran past Raven and Curtis. I ran into the village. Sobbing as I commanded my feet to go as fast as they could.“Wren, wait!” I heard Raven call me, but I didn’t stop.I ran out of the village into the clearing.Crying hard, I tried to outrun the pain. I tried to outrun the heartbreak. I tried to outrun the memories.‘One day, Wren. I’m going to be a world-famous rock star. My concerts will be filled with millions and you’ll have front row seats at every one of them.’‘Really. You’d take me with you?’‘Of course, Wren. I love you.’‘I love you, too.’Sounds of

LUCIUSStill rattled by seeing Wren after all these years, I headed back to the village to try and get my head back on to what’s first priority. My pack.Now that she’s gone, I won’t have to worry about her again.I hit the clearing edge and I caught a scent. I put my nose to the air. It smelled like bacon?I walked to the clearing and looked around. The moon was high and bright, but I didn’t need its light to see the small campfire at the edge of the territory.I don’t fucking believe it.I ran back to my house, shifted and put some clothes on.“Hey, it’s almost time for the fire.” Curtis yells.“Not now.” I growl as I stride through the village toward the clearing.I jog across it to find a tent has been erected “I thought I told you to leave!” I yelled as I ran up to Wren sitting on a log cooking food on a fire.Without looking at me she says in a monotone tone. “I thought I told you I wasn’t leaving without Raven.”“I’ll carry you out if here if I have to, Wren.” I warn.She turns

WRENI’ve been camped out here by the village for almost a week now. Still, there’s no sign of Raven. I figured she’d at least come and sit with me. I can only assume Lucius is keeping her in the camp.There’s no way I’m leaving, so it’s just a waiting game at this point.Lucius does seem to be breaking a bit. The other day at the lake showed that. He seemed a tad less aggressive than normal. Don’t think I didn’t notice his arousal either because I did.He also didn’t threaten me in his usual way either. Instead, he just left. I wonder if he’s accepted our standoff for now. It seems like it.As I watch the village from afar, I can see movement. They seem to be in a hurry.I stand and watch as some women and pups hug the men and walk off to a different part of the forest. The men turn back into the village.I’m curious to know what’s going on? Is this some job the women and children can do or is something happening that requires the women and children to leave.I decide to check it out

LUCIUS“Raven? Raven, get your ass out here now!” I yell as I get close to Wren’s campsite.The panel to the tent zips open and Raven pokes her head out. Her face covered in guilt and fear. She steps out slowly and Wren is right behind her.I grab Ravens arm and pull her to me, pointing a finger in her face. “What did I tell you? You weren’t to come down here. Did I not tell you that?”Wren grabbed my hand. “Get your hands off her! This was not her fault! You have no right to speak to her like that!”I look at Raven. “Get home.” I point to the village.Raven looks at me and Wren and turns, running for the village.“You have some nerve…” I growl at him.“Pack your stuff. You’re coming too.” I cross my arms.It takes me a second. “What?”“You heard me. Pack up. You’re moving to the village.” I speak in an authoritative tone.She pulls attitude. “No. I don’t think I want to be around you.”I looked at her confused. “Wren, pack your shit up and get to the village!”“No, Lu. I won’t” She c

WRENWe stayed in the trees a little longer. Holding each other and basking in the moons blue glow.He ran his fingers over my mark. “This is my most treasured possession. I promise to cherish you for the rest of my life.” He kissed it.I’m resting my back on his chest. His strong arms wrapped around me as were covered in the furs.I turn my head up to him. “I promise to love you forever and be the partner you deserve.”He kisses me gently. “Should we rejoin the party? I’m sure everyone is anxious to see you.”“As much as I’d love to, we can’t hide up here forever.” I smile.“No, we can’t.” He chuckles.After getting dressed and climbing down, we freshen up at home and join the party.Luke and Alexi find us almost instantly.“Well?!” Luke stands with his hands on his hips.I pull back Lucius' shirt collar. “I marked myself an Alpha.” I bite my lip and grin.Alexi squealed. “Wren! I’m so happy for you!” She hugs me.“Atta boy, Tarzan. I knew you could do it!” Luke jabs Lucius' arm“Sto

LUCIUS“Curtis, is everything ready for tonight?” I meet up with him as he walks through the courtyard.“Yep. We got the tables an hour ago and the Alliance will be bringing some food and some more alcohol later.” He bounces his brow, grinning.“Ok. The Alphas have confirmed they’re coming?” I wrap an arm around his shoulders.He nods. “As far as I know, they’re all coming. Seems they’re all excited for this.”“That’s great. God, are you supposed to be this nervous. I feel sick.” I hold my stomach.Curtis chuckles. “Relax. You already love her. This fated thing is just a formality.”“Yeah. Hey, did the Alliance bring that sheet music I asked for?” I pressed a hand to his chest.He walks over to a supply box and searches through it. “Uh…. yep. Right here.” He hands me the music.I take it from him. I wave it between us. “This baby is going to make everything perfect.”He laughs. “Look at you. Lucius Drake. Hopeless romantic. Who knew.”I laugh. “Don’t get used to it.” I smack his arm w

WREN“Ready?” I grin.“Ready.” Lucius smiles from the tree platform.I look at my watch. I place my finger on the button for the stop watch. “And…. go!” I press the button and climb up the ladder to the platform above. I get to the top and take aim and fire.Lucius is across the courtyard climbing his tree to the platform above. He takes aim with his red compound bow. We run the gauntlet. Meeting in the middle at the back of the courtyard.We’re both on the platform. I’m on one knee, firing my arrows at various targets while Lucius is standing behind me firing at his targets.We both jump off. I do a front flip and Lucius just drops to his feet. I’m down on one knee again firing around Lucius' legs while he fires at his targets again.We fire until our arrows are gone.I jump up and smile. “That was good. We work good together.”“I really like this bow and arrow thing.” He looks at his bow.“Good. Because it’s your turn to collect the arrows. I’ll get ready for the council meeting.” I

LUCIUSI take a deep breath in and stretch my arms out as I walk out of the trees into the clearing. I’m so glad to be home.Wren jogs up under my arm and I wrap it around her shoulder.The clearing is partially filled with stacks of wood and other building supplies. I’m excited to dig in and help build my home like I did when we first settled here.Laughing and walking down the hill, Curtis comes with open arms. “There’s the Alphas. We thought the city swallowed you up.” He grabbed my hand and pulled me into a bro hug and gave Wren a tap on the arm.“Not a chance. The city can stay there. I got everything I need here. I’m glad to be back.” I smile and we all head to the village.“Well, we had a rough couple of days, but I think things are quieting down.” Curtis informed.“What’s the problem?” I ask.“The Dragons.” He sighed. “Some are having issues with them.”“They aren’t causing problems, are they?” I cross my arms.“No, it’s the opposite, actually. They’re model pack members, but

WREN“Are you ready to go home tomorrow?” I smile as we eat breakfast in a little Café down from the hotel.Last night’s bar event left us both a little hungover. As the night went on, Lucius finally relaxed to have a decent conversation with the guys. Though he still says they annoy him, I think he’s lying just a bit. He fits in so well with the other Alphas. I honestly thought it might have been a disaster, given the politics of where he lives. It’s more brutal than where we come from. Disagreements in the forest are often worked out with fists instead of words.“I wanted to go home a week ago.” He mumbles as he shoves a piece of steak in his mouth.“Even still. You must like something here.” I fold my fingers together and rest my chin on themHe shrugs “I like the shower.”I giggle. “Anything else?”“The beds nice.” He smirks. “It’s bouncy.” He puts more food in his mouth.I tilt my head. “Anything outside of the hotel room.”He lowers his head, thinking. “No.” He drinks his water.
The Alpha Within Her Chapter 25
LUCIUS OK. So far, I haven’t killed anyone, so it’s probably a good sign that I’m able to survive being on the outside. It’s not that I don’t remember what it’s like out here. I still kind of remember normal life at seventeen, but the world out here has changed a lot. And it’s freaking me out. I don’t deal well with agitation. Wren has been a total God send getting me through this. I would have probably gone off if wasn’t for her. With just a touch or when she holds my hand, I get this calming feeling all over. Like there’s something in her touch that was designed to specifically calm me down. Wren wanted me to get the whole experience of what it’s like to be part of the Falcon Ridge group. She says I need to have fun. Honestly, I don’t. I just want to lay naked in the sheets with her now that my council meetings done. And because that’s what I want, I’m now walking toward a bar called The Falcon with Bastian, Luke, Jayson and River in front of me. They showed up at the hotel say

WREN“Uh…What’s that?” Lucius points to the bed.I look at the black and white suit on the bed. “It’s a suit.” I look back at him.“I’m not wearing that.” He crosses his arms and scowls. He looks so cute standing there with a white towel wrapped around his waist pouting like a kid.I grab him, spin him around and push him toward the bathroom. “Yes. You are. Now go have a shower.”“Wren, I don’t do suits.” He pouts more.“I’m sorry, Lu, but you can’t go to your very first council meeting in ripped shorts. As sexy as that may be.” I smirk.He growls and squints his eyes.He stomps into the bathroom as I get the rest of his clothes ready.We’re in a hotel in Falcon Ridge. With the Nomads now discovered and the threats down to a minimum, the council wanted to meet the newest member of the Alliance. Though our agreement will be a lot different from everyone else’s. First, any decisions regarding the function of the pack will have to go through both of us. The council will have to recognize

LUCIUS“Remember! Xavier’s mine!” I growl as I fire a gun that Luke gave me.I ran into this battle with full force. Every Dragon I kill is feeling my revenge for hurting my Wren. The man in charge will feel the most of it when I get to him.“Go! We got this!” Luke yelled.I handed him the gun and shifted. Running through the fight, I shredded as I went. They won’t be holding me back this time.I’m painting the desert floor with Dragon blood and I’m loving every second of it. I’m running on pure hatred right now.The Dragons have been our hell for years and now I’m going to be the one to pull all of us out. By spilling the contents of Xavier’s body all over this Alliance.I fight my way to the entrance of the compound and I’m hit from the side. I’m sent skidding across the sand. I stand and shake the sand off and search for the one who’s dead next. Out of the dust, blood and fur, a very large, shaggy black wolf prowls my way. He’s drooling and snarling.Devlin.My wolf lowers his head
