When the meeting was over, Julien took Lacey's hand and led her up the stairs headed toward their suite. "Lacey, we need to talk," he said, looking sexy as his eyes filled with concern.A crease formed between her eyes. "Okay." She took a few more steps, trying to keep up with his long strides. Obviously, the thought of having to take down his brother was weighing on him heavily. Lacey gave his hand a gentle squeeze. "Julien, are you okay?"He nodded. "We'll talk in our suite." It was the first time that he had acknowledged that it was their suite together, and not just his. He pulled her in and then closed the door. Then he walked over to the bar and poured himself a bourbon on the rocks and downed it. Then he poured another and held it up to her. "Want one?"Lacey shook her head. "No, thank you. I'll have a glass of wine, but I'll get it."Julien shook his head and smiled, already taking a long-stemmed glass from the cabinet. "No, it'll give me something to do." Then he crossed the r
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 64: Time Alone
After practice the next day, Lacey is packing up when Julien surprised her by wrapping his arms around her from behind."I thought we could have dinner together tonight in the small dining hall," Julien whispered into her ear.Lacey was taken aback by his public display of affection, but pack members smiled as they walked past, obviously approving the match. "Sounds good," she replied, leaning back against his chest, knowing it may be the last chance they had to enjoy their time together before the next Wildclaw attack. But she refused to think about it, wanting to have this one night together. But hopefully not their last."Ready?" Julien raised an eyebrow. When she nodded, he laid his arm across her shoulders and said. "Let's go." When they were inside, Julien gently kissed her forehead. "Why don't you go upstairs and relax. I'm going to speak with the chef.Lacey gave him one last hug. "Okay, but don't be long."Julien chuckled. "Yes, ma'am." Then he gave her another smile over his
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 65: Pregnant?
Lacey was so tired that she hated to move from the bed but started feeling hungry. In fact, more than hungry; she was famished. "Give me a minute and I'll be ready to go to dinner.""No." He held her tightly to him like a life-sized doll. "But the chef—""Will keep it warm," Julien finished. But then her stomach grumbled loudly, giving her away. He raised up and looked at her. "See? I told you that you were pregnant!""What?" Lacey asked, pushing against his shoulder playfully. "When your stomach growls, it means you're hungry, not pregnant.""Well, let's examine the facts, shall we?" He pulled her to his chest again."You're enjoying this.""Immensely." Then he leaned back, feigning that he was thinking. "Now... where was I? Oh, yeah! Exhibit one!" He held up one finger. "You were so tired that you fell asleep when you came upstairs, when usually, you could still jog around the block after a full day of working out.""But—"He held up two fingers, stopping her. "Exhibit two! Your sto

"Good morning," Julien breathed into her ear the next morning, waking her to the start of a new day.Lacey turned over and yawned. "Good morning." Then she looked around and there was too much daylight streaming in through the door leading to the living room. "Oh, no! We've overslept!"Julien smiled. "No, you needed to rest. I asked Kodiak to take over the training for the young warriors for today so you could rest.""No, I have to work—""You've been burning the candle at both ends for too long." Then he gave her a long, lingering kiss. "Today, you need to rest.""Julien, I really don't think I'm—""Whether or not you're pregnant has nothing to do with it," he breathed, as he got up out of bed. "Now. Take a day off and rest from your trip. That's an order." Then he pointed at her and smiled as he headed toward the shower.Lacey turned over and curled up with her pillow. If he treated her like this for too long, it would drive her absolutely crazy. But then again, one day off couldn't

Lacey ran into the kitchen just as quickly as she could and Chef Mastrano was standing there. He was smiling when he first saw her, but his smile quickly faded when he saw the look on Lacey's face."Alpha Queen...." The chef guided her to a nearby chair. "You don't look well. Are you okay?"Lacey sat and placed a hand to her head, taking a moment to catch her breath, calm her heart, and stop her hands from shaking. "Thank you. I'm so sorry—""No. Do not apologize," Chef Mastrano said in his thick, Italian accent. "You just take a moment to relax."Lacey nodded, taking the glass of water he offered. She had intended to take just a sip but ended up drinking down half the glass. "Chef, have you seen Julien?"He shook his head. "No, I haven't." Then a crease formed between his eyes. "Would you like me to have something brought up for you tonight?"Lacey nodded. "Yes, please." She let out a deep breath. "Anything you recommend will be fine." Then she stood and handed him the glass of water.
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 68: Missing
Julien headed up the stairs to check on Lacey. When he checked on her earlier, she was still sleeping, so he went to dinner with the pack, at Raye's and Brock's insistence. Julien hadn't had dinner with the pack in a while, so he reluctantly agreed. Then Scarlett urged him to have a last-minute Council Meeting and walked over with him. Before Julien knew it, it was late.He hurried to their room, hating himself for having spent so much time away from her. Because she had slept all day, he knew that she was probably awake by now. And since he hadn't seen her downstairs, he knew she was probably hungry. From the way she had been sleeping, she was either pregnant or coming down with the flu. It wasn't like Lacey to sleep all day, but he was glad she had. She obviously needed the rest. "Lacey?" he yelled, barging into their suite… then he saw it. Their suite was a mess. Two tables were broken along with a lamp, and the picture window was shattered. He ran over to it, afraid of what he mig
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 69: Escape
When Lacey woke, she was in a room with no windows and steel walls. She still felt groggy, but she willed herself to stay alert. Lacey looked around, but there was just a bed and nothing else in the room. Lacey looked down and she was wearing a pair of sweats and a tank top. She made a mental note: When she saw Scar next, she was going to kill her, along with Brock and Rex… the list was growing.She sat up and her stomach lurched, ready to heave, probably from the drug and the lack of food. There was a small trashcan nearby, so she heaved the contents of what she didn't have in her stomach into it. She needed to eat. Lacey hadn't eaten anything in over twenty-four hours, and she was famished. Feeling weak from whatever they had injected her with, she looked around to see what she could use as a weapon, knowing she had to keep her wits about her if she was going to get out of this alive.One thing Lacey learned in her years training as a warrior, and training other warriors, was that a
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 70: Rescue, Part 1
Julien had caught Lacey's scent just outside of their suite at the castle, and then followed it down the hallway toward the right, but there was nothing at the end of the hall. On a hunch, he started pushing on the walls over and again, then a panel opened to a hidden staircase that Julien knew nothing about. He ran down the stairwell, all five flights, and it opened to the outside of the castle on the ground floor. Julien cursed to himself, wondering why he had never seen this passage before, making a mental note to have every inch of the castle searched and mapped when everything settled down. Julien followed the scent around the corner of the castle, and then the trail headed for the woods.Julien and the pack had spent the rest of the night and into the next day searching for her, but nothing turned up. With no sleep, he was exhausted, but vowed not to stop until Lacey was found.It was clear that she hadn't left on her own accord. And some time during the search, Scarlett, Brock,
