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
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 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 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 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 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
