The Alpha's Obsession 56 - Witch and Her Wolf
~Gemma~ I abandoned my fucked up love triangle situation for a larger damn crisis. I grabbed both Kylie’s hands, pretending to laugh and chat. “Kylie! Don’t change your behavior! Reach out to Kieran and your father right now! Tell them our location. Tell them we are potentially in danger. There is a witch and two rogues closing in on us.” “W-what?” “Do what I say. Now!” I faked a smile, popping another piece of cheese in my mouth. “Done! Kieran is ordering us to get in the car and leave!” I shook my head. “We’ll never make it! Shift right now and run away.” “I can’t! I’m half-human and have no wolf.” Shit! I slipped the keys into her hand. “Just in case. If I tell you to run, haul ass to the car and go.” ‘Dev! Where the fuck are you?’ ‘Be there soon. Do not engage!’ Easy for him to say when the trio so obviously wanted our attention. The witch appeared to be in her thirties. I didn’t recognize her. “Hello there! I think we have something you want.” She called out to me.
The Alpha's Obsession 57 - False Mate
~Alpha Devlin~ The situation was fucked. From the moment Gemma told me to stay away, I realized the gravity of the situation. Of course, I didn’t listen. This was my pack. I was the damn alpha. Come what may, I would see the situation to finality. I couldn’t bear the idea of Gemma facing this alone. I eyed her, standing tall and proud in the face of our dire circumstances. That’s my girl. The witch addressed me. “Alpha, since your witch won’t listen to reason, I will appeal to you. Hand over the witch and we will leave peacefully.” “No fucking way!” I growled. My wolf trembled with impatience to be released. He itched to kill the threat at hand. Gemma’s hand shot out and grabbed mine, warning me to keep my composure. The witch stepped closer to us. “I haven’t yet begun to coerce you. I promise things can get a lot more interesting.” She held out her hand to the black wolf at her side. “Do you feel that?” Gemma spoke quietly. “There is alpha power rolling off that wolf.” N
The Alpha's Obsession 58 - Bleeding Out
~Alpha Devlin~ Jessica picked the worst fucking time to interrupt. She sat up, confused. Taking in the bodies piled around her, she immediately got to her feet. “Brock! Where are you going? Don’t leave me!” She ran hysterical after the retreating couple. We slowed our approach, unsure of how her actions would changed the dynamics of our plan. Brock and Gemma stopped and turned to face her. “I will get rid of this annoyance for you, my mate.” Brock released Gemma’s hand and stepped forward, awaiting Jessica’s approach. A look of realization, followed by horror, crossed Gemma’s face. Brock opened his arms for a sobbing Jessica. When she launched herself into his arms, he held her. He whispered in her ear before wrapping his hands around her throat. Gemma, the meddling witch, appeared right at their side, shoving herself in the middle of their shit. “What are you doing!” Gemma screeched. “She is carrying your baby!” He remained calm and collected as he answered. “She is weak. I
The Alpha's Obsession 59 - Betrayal
~Alpha Devlin~ “Is everyone crying? Someone tell me what the hell is going on!” Irina screamed over the speaker. Shit I had forgotten about her. Sammie scrambled to find the phone, pushing tall grass aside in her haste. She grabbed it and held it up. “Gemma is dying! We can’t save her!” I scrubbed my face with a hand. Not the words I would have chosen. At least she got directly the heart of the fucked up matter. “WHAT?” Irina screeched. “Give me more details for fuck’s sake! How is she dying?” I wasted no time. “She has a mortal wound in her stomach. Brock clawed her. The goddess won’t save her.” “Use your heads! Don’t turn stupid when she needs you most. Sam, call her vampire boy toy. You tell him to get his ass there and save her. Like now!” “Right!” Sammie hung up the phone and scrolled through Gemma's contacts. I faintly heard Sammie hissing and arguing with someone. I assumed she made contact. “He’ll be here. He is really, really fucking pissed.” She got Irina back on
The Alpha's Obsession 60 - No More Running
~Gemma~ The most intoxicating scent wrapped me up in a cocoon of warmth. Spiced rum with an undertone of forest and a splash of vanilla. Elegant. Mysterious. Yummy. I opened my eyes. Dev slept soundly in my bed. He looked so innocent, so relaxed. His face held a hint of stubble. He had been stubble-free the last time I saw him. His eyes snapped open, focusing on me. “Hello, beautiful.” He smiled at me. Just as if my body had finally woken, I felt the tug, the relentless pull. It was like a cord pulled taught with too much tension. My stomach turned over. I was going to be sick! I fell off the bed. “Omigod! What the hell is happening to me? Did the goddess do something to me?” Sammie rushed to my side as Alpha Devlin crawled off the bed. His chest heaved. “Mate!” He stood over me, a feral look on his face. “W-what?” I strangled on the word. Sammie ran a hand through her hair. “Fuck! This shit keeps getting better and better.” “Sam!” Alpha Devlin barked at her. “Leave us!” “N
The Alpha's Obsession 61 - Delicious
~Gemma~ “Rina! Something is wrong with me!” I complained, lying back in bed. “Um. Gemma, have you had unprotected sex?” Sammie asked. I ran to the bathroom and threw up for the fourth time of the day. Yuck! I brushed my teeth. As soon as I stepped into my bedroom, she bombarded me. Sammie raised an eyebrow at me. “So? Unprotected?” Alpha Devlin walked into my room unannounced. WTF? Where had he come from? “When did I lose control over my own damn home?” I grumbled. “When you almost died.” He said, not even batting an eye. “What were you talking about?” “Gemma is pregnant.” Sammie said casually. We held in our laughter when his eyes bulged. His face turned lava-red. “What the fuck, Gemma? How did this happen?” I rolled my eyes, experiencing a strong case of deja vu. “Lucky for you, Sam had this talk with me recently.” I winked at her. “When a man puts his penis…” He suddenly knelt in front of me, shoving his face in my belly. “Hey! Personal space, buddy!” When he tickled me,
The Alpha's Obsession 62 - My Only Addiction
~Gemma~ I hugged Irina tightly. “Seriously, Gems.” Irina patted my back in soothing circles. “I have to go. My uber driver is going to get annoyed and leave.” “I don’t care!” I sniffed. She sighed. “Listen, my love. If things get too heavy here, you can always join me in Florida. Enjoy the beach and some sun.” “Florida? You moved there permanently?” I pulled back. “When did this happen?” “I wanted a change of scenery. I rented a condo in Miami. So come stay with me!” She patted her belly, smiling. “We would love to have you.” I dropped to my knees, pressing my forehead against her stomach. “Hey, my precious. You hang in there, huh? I’ll see you soon.” I kissed her slightly rounded pouch. “Cutest thing ever! Later, we will discuss our co-parenting schedule.” I chuckled. “You got the ring?” Irina asked. I held up my pinky finger. “Armed and dangerous!” The ring helped take the edge off. Unfortunately, the cat was out of the bag. Nothing could put the cat back in the fucking bag
The Alpha's Obsession 63 - Full Circle
~Gemma~ Shit. I had come full circle. Back in my old room, I kicked my suitcase. I sat on my bed and wallowed in misery. Precisely, I had to end my engagement. I had to find a way to come to terms with my annoying and sexy as hell mate. No time like the present to get back to the business of living in reality and pull my head out of the clouds. I closed my door quietly. The packhouse was eerily silent. Why? I rapped lightly on Tyson’s door. “Come in.” He said, hoarsely. “Ty! Why are you still in bed?” My feet carried me quickly to his side. I felt his forehead. “Stop smothering me, little sister.” He smirked. I pulled my hand back and sat by his feet. “Beta Tyson, I rescind my request to leave the pack. I wish to be reinstated into the Midnight Sky Pack.” “Yeah? I just bet you do.” I eyed him hard. My fists balled. Invalid or not, I would hurt him. “Requests acknowledged and granted. So stop glaring at me.” He said indignantly. Hmm. How to best handle the next thing? “W

The Alpha's Obsession 87 - Volatile and Unreasonable
~Gemma~ I cuddled the crap out of a wiggly Little Zander. Yes, I was actively avoiding Rina. “Nobody understands me like you do, little dude.” I squeezed him again for the hundredth time. He stared at me with those dark, sage eyes of his. “Are you hiding out in the nursery?” I startled at the sound of the Alpha’s mocking tone. Where the hell had he come from? His hulking frame looked ominous in the cheery and bright room. “What of it? Mind your business.” He crossed those powerful arms of his across his expansive chest. “You are clinging to my son like your life depends on it. Hence, it is my business.” My shoulders hunched a little as I sat Little Zander down. When his hands immediately grabbed for me, I scooped him up again. “It’s no hope for it now, Alpha Zander. Little Z is my new bestie at the moment.” I winked at him. His sweet, cherub face smiled back at me. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Beta Solar pass by the doorway. “Hey! Beta! Wait up!” I yelled after him, kno
The Alpha's Obsession 86 - Something More
~Alpha Zander~ James crossed his arms. “The witch has a name. It is Gemma. She prefers to be addressed as such.” James walked deeper into the kitchen. His gaze taking in the gamma’s body on the floor. “She attacked Marcus.” I pointed out the obvious. James rolled his eyes. “Marcus is the biggest douchebag around. I could feel her hunger from out there. How could it not be choking everyone from here? We tried to find her some food super early this morning and there was nothing. She was acting weird. Weird for her.” Irina remained quiet, listening to what James said. She studied her mate and then turned to Marcus’ body. “How long until he wakes up?” I wondered. “It was only an apple.” Irina frowned at that. “He will rise when I wish him to. Is anyone offering to go retrieve her? Because I am more than capable.” I nodded my head at James. “The witch,” I began. The look on James’ face irritated me. Given the circumstances, I let it ride. “Gemma,” I corrected. “Go get her and bring
The Alpha's Obsession 85 - Bad Day
~Gemma~ Why me? Just why? I rolled over, spitting out hair stuck to my mouth. My whole body hurt, like I’d been beaten with a baseball bat. Fuck! I untangled from the bedding. Yeah. Still clothed. Thank goddess. It was ten in the morning. Great! My food hunger still raged. At least the other was nowhere to be found. The day looked bright so far. Before knocking on Rina’s door, I heard feminine moans followed by a giggle. Jeez! I called out. “Um. I hope you guys realize this room is so not sound proof! My imagination is wildly out-of-control now. Thanks for that!” Driven by desperation, I made my way back to the kitchen. Surprise, surprise. Today’s search came back fruitless. Almost. I played with the apple in my hand, debating on eating it. On one hand, it was stupid. People were starving in the world while I agonized over my lack of options. I sat in the same chair I had occupied only hours earlier. I pinpointed the exact moment when my solitude had been breached. “Well, what
The Alpha's Obsession 84 - Two Hungers
~Gemma~ The next night, I received a phone call from an unknown number. “Hello?” “Gems? Thank fuck! Are you okay?” Dev spoke quietly. WTF? I tried multiple times to contact him via mindlink to no avail for the past day. His phone number had been changed. And now he decides to call? When I’m an emotional fucking wreck? Avoiding the goddess' hungers wore me down, physically and emotionally. “Gems?” Shit! I answered. How could I not? “How’s Tyson doing? And Sam?” “Ty’s fine. Sammie is a fucking trooper. I’m convinced they only survived because of the enhanced strength the goddess bestowed upon them.” He hesitated. “Listen…” “Dev, I can’t. I need space to breathe. Let my anger simmer and then maybe I’ll be in the mood to listen.” I hissed at him. “The thing you saw with that she-wolf, it was a mistake I immediately regretted. It didn't get very far.” He went silent for a few moments. I could still hear his breathing over the line. I kept my mouth shut. Otherwise I might cause
The Alpha's Obsession 83 - Emotional Warriors
~Gemma~ The day was a win so far. The sun glared down on us, warming the water. We met a few pack members. Everyone seemed nice and welcoming. Well, this one she-wolf gave me the stank eye. What could you expect? Rina snagged one fo their most eligible bachelors. Alpha Zander spent more time with me that was necessary. When Little Zander was carted away to take a nap, I joined Rina and her mate in the hot tub. She dangled her feet in the hot water, a towel wrapped around her shoulders. I scooted over, sitting on the opposite side to face them. “This is cozy. With all his money, the alpha couldn’t spring for a bigger hot tub?” What was that all about? When my foot accidentally touched his, I drew my legs up on the seat with me. “Sorry. Not being rude. But there is no freaking way I want any of your spillage.” I apologized. Rina giggled. “Will you help me unpack later?” I glared at her. “We packed most of that crap! I am aware how much is stuffed in those bags and suitcases.” “I
The Alpha's Obsession 82 - Troublemaker
~Gemma~ I stared at Alpha Zander, disoriented for a moment. “Um.” I faltered. “So you’re a blank, right? Maybe tomorrow we can ask Rina to verify. Otherwise, good for you.” He watched me in silence for a moment. “Care for another drink?” “I think I’ve had enough.” I pushed my chair back and stood. “Will you think about what I said?” He stood with me. “About what?” “Joining the Moon Tide Pack and remaining with Irina.” I rolled my eyes. “No pack has two witches. That’s greedy, alpha.” He sighed, irritation riding his voice. “Avoiding the question. Again.” I lifted one shoulder. “It’s a personality quirk. Irina and I together is a lot to handle, you brave, delusional soul. Yes, I will think about it.” “Whatever your current salary, we will double it.” “Wow. That’s a lot for a troublemaker.” His statement stunned me. “I assume you can also help out with pack matters and meetings.” “And Rina?” “As the mate to my beta, her place in the pack is secure. No games, no bullshit. S
The Alpha's Obsession 81 - Fealty
~Gemma~ As soon as Rina laid eyes on me, she scowled. “It was meant to drain you of your powers, right?” I asked her. “How do you know?” “Because that’s how I feel! Fucking drained!” I whined. Irina rolled her eyes. “She’s hangry. When is dinner? This one often forgets to feed herself. Then, everyone around her pays the price.” “Hey!” I said. “Rude, but accurate.” “Call the goddess and have her restore your strength.” Rina suggested. I groaned! “Not that bitch! Haven’t I suffered enough?” “Gems!” “Fucking fine!” I summoned her. It must have been my lucky moment of the day. Her cool power swept through me, revitalizing me. She never came to the surface. I felt full, like I had plenty and still had excess left over. Out of curiosity, I touched Alpha Zander’s arm. A shocked expression covered his face. I held on for a count of three before running over and placing a a hand on Rina and her mate. She gasped, clutching at my hand. Beta Solar groaned, in a good way, not complain
The Alpha's Obsession 80 - Reckless
~Gemma~ He convinced me all alphas were a chip off the same stupid block. “Are you for real right now? After everything that has gone down?” “Did you sleep with him?” Alpha Zander hissed at me. I rolled my eyes at the his dramatics. “Yes! I slept with him. I would think that fact was obvious.” I wore a black tee-shirt. Alpha Zander’s tee-shirt to be exact. The very one he ripped off his back and ordered me to wear after storming my room. I say my room loosely. The alpha owned it all. “Did you fuck him?” “Bingo! Now we’re getting somewhere.” I crossed my legs. “No, Alpha Zander. I did not fuck James. Not that I think it is any of your damn business.” Beta Solar entered the office. “Gemma, she is awake and asking for you.” I got up and left, making a swift exit from that troubling conversation. When Beta Solar noticed my outfit, I said, “Don’t ask.” My head nodded in the alpha’s direction. Irina sat up in bed. I rushed to her side. “Hi, love! Sorry I wasn’t here when you woke.
The Alpha's Obsession 79 - Broken
~Gemma~ Alpha Zander pushed through the crowds of his pack members. “Move!” He roared. People scattered upon his demand. Something in me snapped as I stared at the nightmare in front of me. Her injuries were extensive. Irina laid on the ground, bloody and broken. Her beautiful black hair sprawled around her, like a bride’s veil. She reached her hand up to me. I grabbed it, kneeling beside her. As her excruciating pain and sorrow rolled over me, I ripped it all away from her, bottling it up in the pits of my rapidly blackening soul. Beta Solar crouched down on her other side, his face a mask of torment. “It’s done, witch. We have them.” I closed my eyes, shuddering in relief even as I absorbed her pain. “I’m dying. We’re dying.” Rina’s voice sounded so very weak. "No spell I cast can fix this." A smile curved on my lips as I swept the remaining hair covering her face to the side. “Do you really think I’d ever let you abandon me in this shitshow? Quiet, while we heal you.” I patt
