[Sylvester]

[Earlier that evening]

Something inside of me snaps, and with it, so do my silver chains.

Screaming in pain and heartbreak, my wolf tears free of my body, leaving my clothes a tattered mess on the floor of the closet where I’ve been imprisoned.

Voices just outside the door rumble into the room like nonsense laced with fear. “He’s free,” a man in the room shouts as I break through the wood. “Dear Goddess, he’s huge!”

Tilting back my head I howl.

I need to find my mate. Her pain and fear are pushing me past my usual limits, propelling me forward, burning the poison from my body as I push through the crowd gathering around the room.

“Sylvester!” Alexis shouts after me as she stands next to her uncle and a few other members of our Board of Directors. “Somebody stop him! He’s gone rogue.”

A bullet whizzes by my ear, followed by another. Something hits my thigh and I look down to see a tranquilizer dart dangling from my thigh.

Another hits me higher and a third hits my shoulder.

Will the Alpha find his Apple in time? Or will something else get to her first...?

  • The Alpha and the Rental Luna   Chapter 183

    [Araminta] I owe this young wolf an explanation for my poor behavior. He’s handsome, honest, and a good strong leader. I can see why Sylvester chose him to be his beta, and why Hazel eventually grew smart enough to accept that he is her mate. Rudolph Forrester isn’t Michael Bane. I shouldn’t make him suffer for the sins of another wolf. “Please forgive me,” I beg earnestly as I squeeze his hands and look into his beautiful hazel eyes. There is a charming boyish sincerity and naive vulnerability about this wolf that makes me want to protect him, even though he’s easily twice my size. He isn’t cunning, like my Amy. He wears his feelings on his sleeve where anyone can see them. “There is nothing to forgive,” Rudy graciously forgives me. “I can see why you’d be upset. I should have proposed to Hazel honestly, instead of hiding in my fear and using it as an excuse.” “No, Rudolph, your reasons are just and are a credit to your true honorable nature,” I praise him honestly. “My anger

    [Rudy] As the three of us listen to Sylvester’s fading footsteps, the uneasy feeling of being alone with one another fills the room, creating an awkward silence. Harlem, the old witch from the east, looks at me with an indecipherable sadness. I wonder if he knows what Araminta plans to say to me that has her bubbling with anger every time she glances my way. “Go easy on the boy, Minty,” Harlem murmurs in his deep, patient voice as he reaches over to hold her left hand between both of his own. “You just sprung a whole lot on these fellas. Give the pup a chance to adjust.” The coven mistress leans over and places her gray-streaked head on his shoulder. “I need to make sure,” she replies vaguely, “And we don’t have time to go slow. You know that, Harlem. For this to work we need to be certain that all of us are here for the right reasons.” “Shh, Minty, you’re confusing the lad,” Harlem kisses the top of her head in such a gentle and loving way, you’d think they’d been married for d

    [Rudy] Araminta's words fade leaving all of us in silence as the three of us look at the old witch in various expressions of undisguised shock. “Repeat that again,” I ask, not sure I heard her correctly. "Did you just say we need to marry our mates?" Sparks come to her fingertips as she snaps. "Yes, Rudolph Forrester, that's exactly what I said. You will need to marry your mates. Tonight, before we go our separate ways to begin the spell." This is not how I wanted things to happen between Hazel and me. I wanted to work things out with Sylvester, find a replacement, and then ask Hazel to be mine when the time was right and I could prove I can give her a good life, even without being a beta. If I propose to her now, it would be under false pretenses. "Now isn't a good time," I start to say, but the coven mistress shuts me down with a glare. "You will all three need to be mated, married, and fully marked, with both partners bearing the seal of fated mates.” Araminta frowns as she

    [Rudy] [Earlier that Day] Araminta Thorpe, one of the strongest witches to ever live, has called me into her office for a “request.” As pack beta, I am used to receiving requests from higher ranking wolves and ambassadors, but the grand witch doesn’t normally summon me. “You should go see what grandmother wants,” Hazel kisses my cheek, smiling gently, her eyes bright with curiosity. “Do you need me to come with you?” I know she’s just teasing me, but I almost say yes. Her grandmother is more than a little bit intimidating. “Thank you, but no,” I kiss her between her sweet auburn eyebrows and her skin hums a faint gold in pleasure at the tingling touch. Goddess, she’s so beautiful as she blinks up at me with her hazel eyes, a bit more green today than brown. Green like the emerald ring in my pocket. I’ve been trying to find the right time to ask her, but every time I consider what I’ll say or how I’ll make the proposal, I stop myself. I’m the son of an omega maid and a pack delt

    [Amaryllis]He has me pinned in place with his hips as my heart flutters hard and fast. “You can’t,” I moan as I struggle to back away, a tear rolling down my chin. This feels wonderful, amazing, better than anything I’ve ever experienced, but he’s wrong about something. “I’m not a good girl,” I growl, pushing just enough to wiggle myself free. “I never have been. Look at me,” I slap my soft belly, still ragged from the scar that I got from cutting my own child from my belly. “You don’t want to tie yourself to someone like me for a lifetime. I’m used up, Calyx. Broken inside and out. I can never give you a pup,” I laugh as my fingers trace the edges of my loose skin, still healing from my pregnancy and my mother’s rushed healing. “I’m just an evil old bitch. I’m not good enough to be claimed.” You aren’t the monster, Calyx, I am. “You wouldn’t let the Alpha King mark you either,” Calyx reclaims my hands and pressing them to his warm, hairless chest. “And you were younger when you

    [Alexis/Amaryllis] He shouldn’t know where I am and yet, here he is. Good Goddess, how did he find me I don't need to turn around to know who it is. I recognize his scent and the way my body becomes tight and wet when he's near. I hate how I react to him, automatically, as if it’s only natural for me to lust after a pup barely more than half my age. I can’t let this happen. I need to get out of here. "Argh!" I push against the stone but it doesn't budge. Damn it, I wedged it in place, hoping to keep him out, not realizing I was dooming myself to being stuck inside with him. Inhaling deeply, I pool my remaining strength to press as hard as I can against the stone, but my limbs are rubbery and weak from my efforts to run far and fast away from him--only to end up running straight into his arms. "You might as well talk to me, Alexis. I'm not going anywhere," he chuckles and my face grows warm with embarrassment as he reminds me of how vulnerable I am. Naked, tired, and far from the c
