It doesn’t take a mate bond to know that Maggie is worried. It surrounds her in such a potent plume that I ponder, waving my arms through the air to make it leave her. She sulks behind me as we climb the stairs to the very top floor, looking for the room that Jacob said we should use. With how long we have spent apart and all the things that have happened to us, it might not be appropriate for us to room together.
We are fully mated, though. I remind myself. My mind flits back to the night she fell from the tightrope, and my heart jolts. From the intense fear I had for her as she fell to the moment she was peeling my shirt off her perfect naked body as she stalked toward me. I shake my head at the thoughts, sliding her a glance to see that she has still not looked up from the ground. How could we have gone from making love less than an hour ago in a random room to not being able to look at each other?
When we get to the door,

*Maggie* I stand in front of the doctor who saved me from the mental institution and blink furiously to clear my eyes. My lashes feel thick and sticky and I rub at them furiously trying to either wake myself up or free my poor eyelids of the feeling of stiffness that settles in. I groan in frustration when my eyes water and I try yet again to blink through the heavy lids of my eyes. I can’t explain how I know who is in front of me other than, I just know. It could be her scent or perhaps the blurry shape I can perceive through my gooey eyes. “What is happening?” I rasp out. My throat is dry and painful begging for water to wet my dirt dry mouth. “You killed a few more than last time.” Her voice rings through my head. I snap my head in the direction of her

I stare at the late afternoon light filtering through the holes in the curtain and watch the dust dance in the sun. I use the peace of the moment to calm myself, embracing Axel’s arm that holds my back hard against his chest. His even breathing allows my body to remember how to breathe as well. In and out, in and out. “Welcome back,” Axel whispers into my ear with a sweet, tender kiss to my temple. “Mmm,” is the only response I can seem to squeak out as I try to hide the tears that always follow my nightmares. “Mags, was it a memory?” he asks so softly I second guess what he asked. I twist in his arms turning to face him and he watches my face closely. “I could see it too.” I gape at him. He could see it too? How does that make any sense, it is my mind, my memo

*Axel* Maggie sleeps soundly next to me, her hair spreads over the pillow in a mess and her lips are swollen and plump from our moment of passion that lasted way longer than I had expected. She very much enjoys teasing. Not that I mind, I just want to please her. I was, however, ready to scream if she had made me wait any longer. But the perk of sharing a mind is that she knew exactly how far to push me. I reach out and pull the blanket over her bare shoulders, smiling weakly at how peaceful she finally looks. Damn, I love this broken, fragile woman. When we first met, she had all this bottled-up anger. It had burned in her sweet, sad eyes with a fire unlike any I had felt. I understand it now. How could I not when I have now witnessed the things she had experienced? Terrible things were done to her, and she has done terrible things as well. All she has done since stepping into my life is grow more confident in what she want

I can hear Hans hooting and hollering before I can even see exactly where they have him. A large boom echoes through the air as pack members yell frantically, trying to calm him or each other. The moment he notices us and sees Cora. He freezes and backs into the corner of the small outdoor cell. Hans brings his hands over his head and crouches down, and then his body shakes. His fur disappears and his tail retracts, though he doesn’t move from his spot in the corner as far away from us as he can be. Hans and Gregor have often been mistaken for one another. Being that they were Irish twins, it’s hard to determine their difference in age and they look so similar that often I mixed them up. They never cared, they always found it amusing and often joked that half the time Cora never really knew who her own dad was. Cora clings to Jacob’s arm as her tears glazed eyes look at the man before her. Someone runs out and hands me a pair of shorts. I

“I am so sorry, Cor. I promised I tried.” He says stroking her hair and clinging to her. “I know you did, Uncle Hans. You loved him as much as I did. And I know, Dad, watching you die would have killed him. He would never have forgiven himself if he didn’t try, and I wouldn’t have forgiven him either.” She says softly, trying to comfort him. I watch them with tears of my own on my cheeks and I turn to wipe my face with my hands, only to find Maggie waiting for me with open arms. She wraps them around my waist, holding me close, and allows herself to cry too. -Billy, We need all the freak-show family to meet in front of the packhouse- I say trying to hide the pain in my voice, but I know Billy can hear the tension. -Who is it?- he asks. -Just… get everyone to the front- And then I block the link. I know Billy will be mad that I didn’t tell him immediately, but right now is not the time. Right now, I need to find my family so we can all mo

*Maggie* I stare up at Axel with wide eyes. “Gregor is still alive…?” “I don’t really know… Billy believes he felt a very light pulse,” Axel whispers, looking around. “Billy isn’t an idiot. He is talented with medical things, Ax.” “I am well aware, but I don’t want to tell the others and get their hopes up until we know for sure.” Holy crap. What a rollercoaster that would be, for Gregor to have died only to find out he is going to make it. I can’t help but let the little seed of hope that planted itself inside me grow. I know I shouldn’t feed it, it would be better to let it starve and die, but I can’t help it. Cora and Hans’ life will be so different if this turns around, but it would be a question of the extent of his injuries. “What would happen if you bit another species?” I ask Axel as he tugs me along into the house. He pauses mid-step and looks at me for a moment, trying

“First of all, I know that for the sake of sensitivity about what happened to you both and to you packs, we should wait, but-” Alpha Wade starts “A full investigation is being launched to figure out what actually happened and where to place you all.” Ali breaks in. Alpha Wade sighs and slides his mate a glance. “Yes. You are something very different from what we are used to.” Alpha Wade offers a genuine smile. “And you want to determine if I am a friend or a foe?” Axel asks. “Exactly. We found a library which we kind of commandeered as a sort of headquarters until we know how to move forward. I know you don’t have any actual pack lands with which to take your newly formed pack, so we want to hammer out some things to solidify where people can begin to go.” “Thank you,” I say, squeezing Axel’s hand in mine as we walk alongside Wade and Ali. My eyes flick down to Ali’s bicep where a large gauze is wrapped around he

*Axel* There is a lot more that we will need to discuss with Wade and Ali, but for the time being, I can feel the tension easing a little in my shoulders. We are all in uncharted territory looking for the best outcome, not understanding what we are stepping into, but it helps that Wade seems trustworthy. I’m not sure I could survive committee judgment if he wasn’t trustworthy. Maggie slips her hand into mine, the sparks humming happily along our skin. She grins up at me wide and her stomach growls again. This girl has an appetite. I chuckle when her cheeks grow pink and her hands fly to cover her protesting belly. Her timing couldn’t be more perfect as we enter the kitchen. I pause slightly when I notice Dr. Sari sitting at the counter having a staring contest with a bar of chocolate that sits opposite of her. Maggie and I watch her for a minute, sliding amused glances at each other before Maggie walks over and takes a seat next to her.

The Alpha's Freakshow Epilogue
Epilogue *Axel* ** Six Months later** I can hear Maggie laughing from my office, loud and boisterous. Exactly how she has been since we got our pack. She has been deep in the planning stages with Cora as they work on our newest Freakshow. Even though we have pack lands and I am helping Wade with his newest mission concerning omegas, we need a source of income. And we made damn good money with the original Freakshow. Billy and Bea have taken to traveling around looking for exiled, lonely, or abandoned shifters who need a home. We have quickly become the pack of misfits, but that is exactly what makes our pack so much more special than everyone else’s. We don’t want to travel anymore. It’s not something that makes sense when we all want to be near each ot

*Maggie* Ginger blushes as Emal drops a kiss on her cheek before running off after little Al, who is playing soccer in the field across the road. She and Emal may have mated weeks ago, but she still blushes when he shows affection around other people. Which I find amusing, considering she has never been a shy person before. That was always Emal. It’s almost like they have taken on each other’s strengths and weaknesses. The elephant bond differs from the wolf bond. It’s a chosen bond, which almost makes it seem bigger. No pun intended. I am pretty sure that Emal loved Ginger from the moment he saw her, but being Emal, he lumbers around trying to decide the best options. Not that he was looking for someone better, no. I think he was looking for someone better FOR Ginger. I guess it takes almost losing someone to realize that you would rather give them everything you have than watch them struggle on their own. So that’s what he did.

*Axel* “How has everything been so far?” Wade asks as we enter my makeshift office. The room is basic, with bookshelves lining the walls behind the desk, a large window facing the pines to my right, and beige carpet that match the tan walls. It’s not anything special, but it’s enough for me. I’ve never in my life had a real office before. I had a small desk overrun with papers at all times in my large circus tent, but it hardly could be used for more than writing down expenses or searching places to go. I've never had formal meetings before meeting Wade, I never had a reason to. My Freakshow pack was intimate and we are a family. If we wanted something we spoke our mind and asked there was never a need until now. “Great,” I answer honestly. “We had a whole haul of construction equipment, workers and materials sho
The Alpha's Freakshow Chapter 81
*Maggie*It’s crazy to think that only three weeks ago we fought the largest fight in our entire lives. Axel had never gone up against such foes, nor had any of us. Alpha Wade had even made mention that this was easily the craziest scenario he had ever come across, and the man was plotted against and almost killed in his own home by a committee member. So we don’t take his words on the matter lightly.Just as Alpha Wade had promised, they provided us with our own pack lands. Thankfully, it already had some houses and lots of land to spare for the building of more and potentially a small city area if we wanted. Axel and I have learned so many lessons since finding each other. Ironically, the most important one for me was trusting. Axel likes to put up a front and pretend he is jaded, and he has every reason to be, but I know better. He is the quickest of us to trust. Though that could be because his ultima powers help him with discernm

*Axel* It has been way too long since I have had a good night’s sleep, and waking up next to Maggie is the icing on the cake. I could feel her tossing and turning for the first part of the night, but once she settled in, I was able to fall into a deep sleep. What Billy said about the man setting fire to the tents has to have bothered her. I don’t see how it couldn’t. That night had been a rollercoaster of emotions for the two of us. Her falling, combined with her injury, had been enough to set me over the edge until her tears came. The tears that completely unraveled me. I would have done anything to stop those tears and the ache I saw behind them. I loved her before that moment, but I fell for her right then. It was the most real she had ever been with me, and in turn, I told her my secret. The same night, we sealed our mate bond. I reach out and stroke her soft cheek with the back of my knuckle, memorizing every line of her stun

*Maggie*Axel sits motionless in front of me and Billy trying to wrap his head around our crazy stories. I started with the moment I left Axel’s side. Billy and Axel sat in awe while I told them how hard it was to leave him, explaining finding Jacob, Declan, Rosie, Abigail, Bea, and Jasper in the woods. And how willing they were to help and follow me. Axel was especially not happy about me trying to take on Abraham’s pack or that I had been in his old home.I explained how Madelyn had helped us and how I pissed Jacob off by storming the dungeon the moment I realized the Freakshow was down there. But in the stoic face, I could see the pride and I took it as a good sign. He had no questions for me as he just sat and listened. Billy tossed in a few things here and there as we regaled him on our heroic journey to save him. I explained how I went willingly with Liam, and that I was beaten up because we had no choice, so I sparred with Liam

Maggie stiffens, and I hold her tight to my chest, refusing to move from my place. I hold no fear for my brother. I have no desire to fight with him and no desire to kill him, though if he gives me a reason, I will do what I need to. A heavy sigh escapes my lips and I glance down at Maggie, who slowly moves from my grip and stands at my side. However, I decide to remain seated.“Abe. What brings you here? Coming to kill me again?” I raise a brow and bring my elbow to my knees, leaning forward slightly.Abe chuckles and steps out into the lamplight that illuminates the broken driveway.“Brother, if I wanted to kill you…”“I would already be dead?” I raise a brow and dawn a ghost of a grin. Still the same as Abe. Way too confident for his own good. “What more do you have to prove? You have the title you have always wanted. I stayed away. You came to me, you and your men shot my ma

Cora comes rounding the corner with Hans right beside her, Jacob trailing close behind. Her eyes are red and puffy, her hair a tousled mess, and her nose pink and raw from blowing her nose. Hans is looking no better. His once lively smile and tan skin are nowhere to be seen. He moves like a zombie with no light in his eyes, offering Cora a hand when she shudders, trying to shed the weight of another onslaught of tears. The excitement of showing them overwhelms me as I smile wide and stick my hands in my pockets, trying to keep my eyes glued to the ground. They step in front of me, stopping and looking at me with their blank stare. My stomach lurches. They both look so broken and vacant. “Cora just fell asleep, Axel.” Hans frowns “I know, and I’m sorry to have woken you up when you really need some sleep. I’m not sure this is the right way to do this. Hell, I’m not sure anyone would actually know what the right way is, but…”
