The Alpha's Obsession 72 - Sound of Silence
~Gemma~ Botched it! Forget the wolves, Irina proved to be the biggest obstacle. Why did that surprise me? “Please, Irina, do this for me. This is my fault! Let me fix it. This stalker, or whatever the hell the situation is, doesn’t want you. They have a bone to pick with me. I will go with this new alpha for now, until it doesn’t suit my purposes anymore. Then, I will see myself right the fuck out of here. And you will be safe.” I hugged her. “There is no harm in playing it safe. We have a lot at stake now. Bigger picture, remember?” “Fine! The stuff I do for love! I am madly in love with you. You know that, right?” She said, lips pressed into a hard line. “Of course.” I shrugged a single shoulder. “How could you not be?” I grasped her hands in mine, saying loud enough for all to hear. “Just promise me you won’t maim or otherwise kill Thing 1 and Thing 2?” At the two guard’s blank expressions, I continued. “No? Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum?” “I think we can handle a single witch o
The Alpha's Obsession 73 - Outlandish Splendor
~Gemma~ We rolled up to the mansion just as the first hint of night covered the sky. I yawned, so ready to put this day behind me. I stepped out of the vehicle and stretched. My eyes felt heavy. My bones felt heavy. Probably from the exhausting weight of my existence. Just my presence endangered Rina and her precious bundle. And now I had dragged Alpha Zander into my mess as well. The Moon Tide's mansion was huge, gaudy, exorbitant. The porch welcomed us with its tall columns and heavy, wooden double-doors. I was told only select pack members lived here, mainly the Beta and family and Gamma and family, a security team, and the household workers. The pack owned the condo buildings flanking the mansion. Most of the pack resided there. Alpha Zander took my elbow and steered me toward the front door. “What troubling thoughts are running through your head, witch?” “Nice digs.” I commented, intent on not answering him. He may be alpha and I may technically be his prisoner, but he didn
The Alpha's Obsession 74 - New Hell
~Gemma~ “What are you doing in Miami, witch?” Alpha Zander growled. I crossed my arms and turned away from him. I saved his life and this is the motherfucking thanks I get? Next time, I may not be as generous. “Should I point out that I can make you talk? I am not in the habit of being disobeyed.” “Goddess save me from your damn wolves!” I huffed and sat on the bed. “I do not like being threatened, Alpha. I am your guest and appreciative of your generosity. But do not back me into a corner. You won’t appreciate my behavior.” I promised. “Of that, I am certain. It is in our best interest if you cooperate. So tell me, why are you in Miami?” He walked over, lording over me with his height and admirably muscled body. I looked up at him and smiled. “I, sir, am on vacation. I previously explained why I was here. No matter how many times I’m asked, my answer will be the same. I came to visit my kin. I came for vacation.” “And?” He put a finger under my chin, forcing eye contact. “And
The Alpha's Obsession 75 - Abandoned Property
~Alpha Devlin~ “Fuck!” I yelled, tossing my glass across the room. Tyson and Sammie appeared unimpressed with my outburst. My skin itched with uncomfortable sensations. My wolf longed for his mate. Hell, I was desperate just to hear the sound of her voice. The distance ate at my sanity. “She blocked my number, too.” Tyson admitted. “I guess we fucking deserve it.” “Speak for yourselves. My babe didn’t block me.” Sammie scowled at us. “She texted me from Atlanta.” “Why didn’t you mention this earlier?” I barked at her. She met my wrath with a damning calm only she-wolves could pull off. “Neither of you asked. I didn’t know she was avoiding you. Oh, other than the fact she fled across the damn country to get away from you.” She eyed us with cool disdain. “Besides your stupid Luna Trials, what else did you do to send her packing?” She looked from me to Tyson. I rubbed my face with the palm of my hand. “Fuck these trials. Tyson, get rid of our visitors.” “You can’t…” he began but
The Alpha's Obsession 76 - Life's Betrayals
~Gemma~ Yeah. Hot chocolate solved nothing. It had just been a ploy, a momentary distraction. We piled in the guest room the alpha designated as mine. At the moment, negotiations nosedived from tense to hostile. The Beta remained insistent. Rina remained, well, Rina. “I know my rights, wolf! I can reject you, reject this bond.” Irina glared, her eyes shining bright. Her powers barely leashed. We all experienced the biting sting of her anger. “You are my fucking mate and I will not relinquish my claim!” Beta Solar roared with defiance. “Nor will I allow you to set me aside, witch.” Irina turned her back on him, her lips puckering in a pout. So freaking adorable! I rolled my eyes at her mate. “Please understand, Beta Solar. The uneasiness between wolves and witches has raged long before our births. Rina and I have suffered at the hands of wolves. We have suffered at the hands of humans. And, we have suffered at the hands of our own kind. Forgive us if our hearts are soured by li
The Alpha's Obsession 77 - Damaged and Depraved
~Gemma~ “Thanks for the drink. Goodnight.” I set the glass on the table, waiving on my way out. “Are you abandoning me with this situation? What am I supposed to do with this?” A trickle of heat danced over my bare arms. “Excuse me? What situation?” I spun around. The bulge in his pants made it apparent. “Yup. I am totally abandoning this situation. I didn’t cause this. You and the Moon Goddess are to blame.” The goddess swam close to the surface. I blinked, imagining suppressing her in the depths of the ocean. “What if I order you to resolve this?” His eyes blazed with the belief he could take what he wanted. “Women throw themselves at my feet and I am offering you the opportunity to warm my bed.” Gag! “You can’t order me!” I made a face. “I don’t like you very much, Alpha Zander. You speak with no empathy or tact. Shall I remind you I have a mate? I’m learning to navigate that without complicating shit further.” “None of those are obstacles that cannot be overcome.” He dismisse
The Alpha's Obsession 78 - Dark and Intriguing
~Gemma~ I woke, groggy, to the sound of the most annoying voice. “Cover yourself up, witch. Otherwise, you won’t like my next actions.” Alpha Zander hissed at me. I opened my eyes slowly, my face mashed into a pillow. I lay on my stomach in no way ready to face the terrors of this new day. Rina’s side of the bed was empty. “What time is it?” I croaked. “It’s late.” “Can you please be more specific? Sheesh.” I muttered. “It’s almost seven-thirty.” He sounded cranky. “I repeat, if you do not cover your ass, I may decide to accept your open invitation.” “Are you freaking kidding me?” I screeched. Then, I realized I had kicked off the comforter in my sleep. Ugh! I grabbed it and threw it over me. “Leave if you don’t like it. I’m not a morning person!” I snuggled into the bedding and pillow again. Irina walked into the room. “Morning, love! It’s a beautiful day. I have coffee and bagels!” Fuck! I flipped over and sat up, the comforter falling away. “What’s good about it? Why are
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
