The Alpha's Daughter Chapter Fifty-Four
Jackson POV Jace growls when we lose Nicole's scent again, it feels like I have been running around in circles for days. My head feels like it will explode; controlling my temper is impossible. Where the fuck has the mutt taken my family? It would have damn near killed Nicole if she had to carry Alec all this way. Kyle’s voice enters my head, “We have something over here, Alpha.” I shift, running to his location; he is bent over, looking at something on the ground. As I get closer, the scent of Nicole's blood fills my nose. Jace knocks Kyle out of the way. His fur bristles as he growls; I take back control before he attacks Kyle and shift back into my human form. The ground has been disturbed, showing signs of another struggle. Fear for my mate and pup gnaws at my insides, causing a knot to form in my gut. The only thing that keeps me sane is the blood on the forest floor is fresh, and it's a small amount. Jace settles back down again as Kyle motions me to his side; he has found N

Layla POV Nathan and I have not been able to spend any time alone since he started preparations for Jackson's attack. Lea's voice has been grumbling in my head all morning. “We should just mark him and be done with it, Layla.” “No, Lea, he can't afford any distractions right now.” She snorts, rolling her eyes as she recedes to the back of my mind. I understand her frustration. Nathan's scent makes my mouth water; the thought of not having him beside me is terrifying. I just want all this over and done with so we can start our life together, the idea of having a pup of my own has never been something I had thought about before I met Nathan, but now I cant wait to have a family with him. I won't lie; I am still angry about not fighting alongside him, but mom has assured me she will be able to stop Jackson from attacking us. My heart starts to race; my breathing quickens; fear consumes me. I know it because I am scared that I will lose Nathan. I whisper a little prayer to the moon-g

Sasha POV I stumbled across a small cavern last night; something flashed brightly in the torchlight when we were unloading the car. When I investigated the room, I found the silver shackles and bones of wolves that witches who lived in the cave had tortured. Large silver pins have been hammered into the roof and floor of the cavern. These women had thought of everything; replacing my gloves, I pulled on the pins to ensure the silver hadn't eroded over time. Everything is ready; putting my gloves back on, I put the silver shackles I found in the cave in the trunk of the SUV. I start the car and head back to the packhouse to collect Isaac, Tate, and Seth. The other two will be staying behind; I don't know if I am willing to trust them with my plans. Neither Tate nor Seth knows the cave's location. Once I have Layla, we will return them to the packhouse before Isaac and I return to the witches' lair. I tap my fingers on the steering wheel, trying to contain my anger; if they are not o

Nathan POV My wolves slowly emerge from the bunker; Alec squeals with delight when he sees Jackson; he was running so fast I thought he would face plant the ground. When he reached his father and wrapped his little arms around his knees, Jackson picked him, swinging him in the air. Nicole chuckled as Marian whispered something in her ear, her face reddening slightly. I decided to give him some time to reunite with his family. I think there is more going on than we know about; we still don't understand why the mutt brought Nicole to our territory. As soon as Amy sees Drew, she runs toward him, jumping into his arms, knocking him off balance. He falls, taking her to the ground with him, laughing as she smothers him with kisses. Drew gets to his feet and offers Amy his hand, pulling her up and wrapping his arms around her protectively. I can feel the tension coming off him; he is still pissed that we have unknown warriors on my land. Layla hasn't come out of the bunkers yet; I don't thi

Nicole POV Nathan's words keep replaying in my mind, increasing my anger by the second. “How would you know, Nicole? You haven't been a proper mother to Layla for years; you are a pathetic excuse for a mother.” Who the fuck does Nathan think he is? And how dare he do that to my daughter? Layla has already been through so much in her young life. Then the one person supposed to love and protect her turns his back on her discarding her like a piece of garbage. Fucking Alpha’s, right now; I could kill the lot of them. I stop at the edge of Nathan's border and flip him the bird. “Fuck you, Nathan.” Jackson's eyes widen in shock as he says, “That won't help Layla, Nicole.” I turn on him, whispering, so Alec doesn't get upset, “Now is not the time to push my fucking buttons, Jackson.” He holds his hands up in surrender, “I wasn't trying to piss you off when we get home, and I make sure our pack is ok. I will organize some of our scouts and warriors to search for Layla.” I hand
The Alpha's Daughter Chapter Fifty-Nine
Layla POV The shock from ice-cold water hitting my face wakes me up, I jerk backward, smashing my head against the stone wall behind me, and my ears ring as pain flows from my head to my shoulders. Rough hands grab me, pulling me to my feet; pins and needles run through my arms and legs as my circulation returns—Isaac grunts when my legs give out from under me. Sasha growls as she helps him attach the shackles around my wrists to the silver pin in the roof. My arms are stretched above my head; my feet can't touch the ground. My wrists burn, my elbows hurt, and the muscle in my shoulders scream for mercy as they support all my weight. The pounding in my head gets louder; my breathing is shallow, and my broken ribs grind against each other when I try to breathe. Wolfsbane mixes with the damp stagnant air that fills the cave. Sasha slaps my face sharply; the sound echoes in the confined space. “Wakey, wakey sis.” As soon as I hear her nasal voice, flashes of what happened last night
The Alpha's Daughter Chapter Sixty
Nicole POV I snarl at the male wolf, “Where is my daughter?” He looked at me with a smug smile on his face and said. “You won't hurt me.” The boy is young, maybe a year older than Layla, but he is wrong. I don't want to hurt him, but I will. “What is your name, and what pack are you from?” “Joseph from the Silver Moon pack” “You are a scout?” “Yes” “Is my daughter alive?” He shrugs his shoulders; the little fucker couldn't care less whether Layla was alive. I kneel before him, looking him in his eyes, so he knows I am serious. “I will hurt you, Joseph, if you don't start talking.” He laughs and spits in my face. After I wipe his saliva off me, I look at him, and all I can see is Michael's face. His eyes widen with shock when my fist connects with his nose. All the pent-up hurt, frustration, and anger I have inside me I unleash onto him. My knuckles are swollen and bleeding when I walk out of the room. Diana shakes her head as she rips a cloth in half and wraps my h
The Alpha's Daughter Chapter Sixty-One
Layla POVIt is so dark I don't know if it's day or night or how much time has elapsed since Sasha and Isaac left. Silent tears run down my face; I want the pain to stop. Drifting in and out of consciousness, I don't hear when my tormenters return. Sasha slaps my face, “Wake up, Layla.” Opening my eyes slowly, I mumble,“Kill me and get it over with, Sasha.” She steps back, her face filled with contempt, and snarls, “I am so disappointed in you, Layla; I thought you would put up more of a fight. But then you always were weak, weren't you?” My heart and mind are numb; I don't care anymore. Sasha picks up a bottle containing wolfsbane. Isaac holds my head tightly; Sasha lifts the bottle to my mouth, laughing as she pours the liquid down my throat. I don't fight them, choking and sputtering; I swallow the burning liquid. She snorts in disgust and screams. "Your fucking pathetic, Layla.” Then storms from the room; Isaac chases after her, “You can't just leave her there, babe.” Sh

Darius POV Ellie and Beth have just turned five, and watching my daughters interact with the other children in our pack never ceases to surprise me. Whenever the older pups get into an argument, you can guarantee that Ellie is standing in the middle of them, trying to calm everyone down. Beth always stands beside Ellie with her fists clenched, ready to step in if anyone gets too close to her sister. We always knew Ellie would be our diplomat; her calming nature can diffuse just about any situation in which the girls may find themselves. If Ellie can't get through to the other pups, you can guarantee Beth; our warrior, will take control and step in.

Layla POVAll the pups that Willow brought with her now have homes; it never ceases to amaze me how quickly children can adapt to new surroundings. Willow and Riley have marked each other. Willow is a beautiful she-wolf with a loving nature; Riley and Willow are perfect for each other. Darius and I are on our way to my territory; Anita has gone into labor, and Diana is there, but both Zach and Anita have asked if I could be with her in case Zach passes out as Drew did. Our baby is due in a couple of weeks; I feel like a baby elephant these days; my feet are swollen most days, and getting up off the floor never ceases to have Ellie and Beth giggling uncontrollably. We have everything set up for when our pup arrives; I don't mind admitting that I have told Diana to bring any pain relief she can get her hands on when my time comes. I smile when we pull up out front of the packhouse; Zach's pacing frantically in the front yard; he turns toward us and approaches the truck opening my door
The Alpha's Daughter Chapter One-Hundred-Ten
Darius POV I wake up in a foul mood; my eyes feel like someone has tipped a bucket of sand in them. Layla is sound asleep beside me; I untangle my body from hers and throw a pair of jeans on before going downstairs. No sound comes from the loungeroom where the pups and Willow are sleeping. I go to the kitchen and make a coffee before going to my office. I go to stand when I hear footsteps getting closer to my office; the door opens, and my eyes widen in shock when Riley enters and sprawls out on the couch opposite me. He rakes his hand through his hair as he says, “I need to talk to you.” I smirk at him and reply, “That's obvious, or you wouldn't be here this morning.” He shakes his head and chuckles nervously as he says, “I need your advice.” I groan, “Please don't tell me you have gotten one of the she-wolves you sleep around with pregnant.” Riley snorts as he says, “If only it were that simple.” I frown; this is serious; it looks like I am not the only one who

Layla POV It had only been a couple of weeks since Soren, Nathan, and Teena came to our territory. It's early on a Saturday morning, Darius and I are still in bed, our pack run was the previous night, and as always, after our packs ran together, we had a bbq. It was a bit of a struggle getting so many wolves in one place, but somehow we always managed to pull it off. Since it's not safe for pregnant females to shift, I waited at home with Ellie, Beth, Amy, Abbie, and the younger members of our packs. Darius and I usually lead the run, he wanted to stay at home, but I didn't see the sense of both of us missing out on one of the things we loved. We have added two toddler beds in the nursery for Ellie and Beth; Darius and I are lying in bed arguing over baby names; we have only just agreed on Bohdi as a boy's name. Choosing a girl's name is becoming impossible. I chuckle when I hear the pitter-patter of two pairs of feet as they run toward us. Ellie and Beth have started climbing int

Layla POV I froze when Teena stood up and went to follow me inside. Did I want this woman in my home? Lea’s voice entered my mind as she said, “Teena and Soren won't harm Ellie and Beth.” I nod and motion her to follow me; Alec is playing with the girls in the lounge room. I pick Ellie up. Teena looks at me and asks, “Can I pick this little one up?” I can see the shock in Darius’s eyes when I say “Yes” Lea had already told me Teena was a witch; as long as she wasn't here to harm my babies, I couldn't care what species she was. When we entered the kitchen, Teena said, “You are pregnant. Would you like to know if you are having a boy or girl?” I shake my head and answer, “No, Darius and I are happy to wait until our pup arrives.” She nods, helping Diana, Abbie, and I carry the food to the porch. Darius has already taken the girl's chairs outside; mom pulls a chair close to her and narrows her eyes at Alec as she says, “Behave yourself, or you will be eating inside

Darius POV We knew Soren and his companions were coming; our patrols spotted them two days before they reached our border. I mind-linked our warriors and told them not to stop him from crossing the border. Alec, Beth, and Ellie were to remain inside the house with Diana and Abbie while they were here until told otherwise. Sebastian was staying on Layla’s territory with her wolves. Everyone was to remain on high alert in case of any trouble, we weren't expecting any, but it was better to be safe than sorry. Lea has already alerted Layla that Alpha Soren would arrive within the next thirty minutes. Layla has set up a meeting area on the porch, she refuses to allow him to enter our home. Zach, Riley, Jackson, Nicole, Leon, and Kyra are already here, and Drew and Amy are on their way over now. Its have been raining non-stop since yesterday, so they would have to walk a fair distance up the mountain; my patrol mind links me and says, “They have pulled the cars off the road and coming

Soren POV The wolves Teena let into my territory have been here for two days; they have recovered from the wounds, and I intend to speak to them today. Teena and I have been in my office since dawn; she sits opposite me, holding a cup of coffee in both hands. I lean back in my chair and cross my arms over my chest and ask, “What did you see?” She frowns as she says, “Nathan was an Alpha before he came here; he has made terrible mistakes in his past and is trying to compensate for the hurt he has caused the ones closest to him.” I nod, looking at her; Teena seems tired. I growl before saying, “And you still want to claim him as your mate?” She nods her head “Yes” and replies, “Everybody makes mistakes, Soren; you know that.” I snort, “That may be so, but it's too dangerous for you to leave here without me.” She chuckles as she says, “Mark my words Soren; Nathan will denounce his title as Alpha and stay here with me.” I roll my eyes at her and say, “Your very con

Layla POVIt's been a couple of days since Josie’s visit. Darius and I have been awake for hours, I get out of bed, and as soon as I place my feet on the floorboards, the room starts spinning. I run to the bathroom, kneel in front of the toilet, and empty the contents of my stomach. I groan, resting my head in my hands until the room stops spinning. I use the vanity to pull myself off the floor and step gingerly into the shower turning the water on so I can have a shower. I stay under the water until I feel better and wrap a towel around myself as I leave the bathroom.Darius is resting against the headboard of the bed with a frown on his face as he asks,“Are you ok, sweetheart, your not making yourself sick worrying about what Josie said?” I sit beside him and rest my head against his shoulder as I say, “Maybe I don't know Darius?”He wraps his arms around me as he whispers, “I wasn't joking when I said I would kill anyone who hurt our girls, Layla.” I sigh, looking up at him, a

Alpha Soren I haven't had anything to do with my family for years; I left home at sixteen and have remained hidden for the last twenty years. The politics of my brother's court sickens me; I had many wolves loyal to me and have built my pack from two thousand wolves to five thousand wolves; we choose to stay hidden. My brother has no idea where I am, and I intend to keep it that way. My brother Phillipe is an evil prick and wouldn't hesitate to kill my mate and my children if he knew our whereabouts. I wrap my arms around Tatiana, holding her close to my chest as the sobs wrack her petite frame; I can smell the fear seeping from her as she murmurs, “What are we going to do, Soren?” I kiss the top of her head as I reply, “I will never let anyone hurt our daughter Tatiana.” My sister Teena has just placed Octavia in her cradle; she smiles at me sadly as she leaves my bed chamber. Octavia is a beautiful baby. She will grow into a beautiful woman just like her mother; the corners
