"Or they kill you in their anger. As someone who has experience with cheat- ing pricks, might I suggest you not go that route? I'd hate to have to put your guts back into your stomach, and sew them up again, asshole. Once was enough for me." Xari rolled her pretty eyes and crossed her arms over her corset-covered chest.

Xari was a little badass, fae halfling, with a skill set most immortals didn't have in their arsenal of tricks. But that's not surprising since she's Xavier's daughter. He's the man that started the hunter organization, and he had over- seen her training. Xari has been hunting since puberty, and her old man trained her to kill without hesitation. I'd met her with my entrails hanging out, and she hadn't balked as she shoved them back into my stomach, sewing them up, then complained that I was whining like a bitch the entire time.

"Have you asked Braelyn how much she knows about what her father was doing?" Xavier asked with a worried expression. "I hate to say it, but I

  • The Alpha’s Omega Mate   Meeting with the Alphas

    I walked into the dining hall with my heart in my throat. Phenrys hadn't spoken a single word to me the entire time I fixed my hair and makeup. Instead, he'd chosen to glare at me as if I were a rodent he wanted to exterminate. It was unnerving to be the only one talking while the other person examined you like something he wanted to hurt. The moment the dining room came into view, I paused as the pack rose to their feet. The alpha's table was empty, causing my hackles to rise. Usually, I sat with them to avoid my father's table. I searched the room, only to be nudged forward by Phenrys."Move it," he ordered, causing me to start forward without finding the alphas.The pack remained on their feet as I moved between the rows of the tables, heading for the one at the hall entrance. I hadn't sat there since I was a child, trying my best to escape my father's attention. Now I was being forced to sit there again, and my body wanted to turn my ass around involuntarily, high- tailing it back

    "How long have you led the pack under your father's nose?" Leif asked, dis- pelling the tension. "Since I was eight," I admitted, finding it surprisingly easy to talk to the Lycan. "Harold didn't care for the pack, and he failed to understand the gravity of being stuck on the top of a mountain peak during winter. The other alphas helped me, of course. I would instruct them on what needed to be done, and they would bring it up at the meetings as if it were their ideas. I had to maintain the relationship with the alphas, encouraging them to assist me in running the pack. I was a child, after all. Even as the daughter of the alpha, to them and everyone else, I was a beta female, secretly helping the pack survive." "And they didn't try to mate you to their sons?" Leif turned as Carleigh whispered into Saint's ear, causing him to snort loudly at whatever she'd said. I did my best to ignore the pathetic attempt to make me jealous."They did, but Harold wasn't interested in making a match wi

  • The Alpha’s Omega Mate   Trying to hide the pain

    Toralei appeared from nowhere, shoving Cora back as I fumbled with the slippery newborn in my arms. Handing it off to another woman, I turned and saw Tora shove Cora away. A tremble of unease rushed through me at the reality of the situation. Cora had lost her mate, Fang, in the fighting last night. Fang was my father's beta, and if Saint's people hadn't killed the bastard, I would have.Fang was sick and twisted and got off on creating pain in others. He was one of the many men my father allowed to torture me. Unluckily, Cora had been soul-mated to the murderous prick."Find Lucas, and tell him to come." I growled, watching Cora, who snarled and shifted toward Toralei with a feral gleam in her eyes.When one loses a soul mate, we didn't shift to ease the pain. We couldn't just vanish into the woods like shifters. There was no escaping the pain when we lost the other half of our soul, so the wolf within us becomes feral, and that was dangerous. The human half went silent, leaving only

    I slipped out of the dining hall, smothering the tears that threatened to fall at any moment. I'd long since learned to hide my pain from the pack. It didn't mean I was immune to it or that it hurt any less. I'd almost fucking died, and that was terrifying all on its own. This was the first time I had hesitated to act, and because of it, I'd lost my friend.Saint was turning the alphas against me; that much was clear now. Lucas said he hadn't believed their accusations, but in his grief for his sister, he'd changed his mind. What had they told him I'd done? My legs faltered, and I reached for the wall to steady myself. Strong arms wrapped around me, lifting me from the ground."Put me down. I can walk," I growled, and Saint snorted against my ear. Eryx settled in beside us as we moved through the empty halls toward the living quarters. Nausea churned through me, and I hated the weakness of my body from my near-death experience. It wasn't even the first time I'd felt fingers skim over

    My skin heated, and Saint released me, allowing me to lay back. Eryx took the joint from my fingers, and I watched the cherry create a trail of light before he took a drag. "Sian, let the others know they can look for that thing we need to find. Eryx, keep my mate here while I deal with the other issue. Do not fucking touch her, asshole."I watched as the men stood, leaving me at the mercy of Eryx, who I knew had none to offer. He smirked, sensing my fear as the scent escaped the tight hold I'd had on it. When the door closed behind Saint, Eryx sat up, slowly undoing the cuffs to his white shirt, and silently rolled his sleeves up. He produced another joint, lighting it before lying down beside me, studying my face."I almost wish you were mine, Brae. I so want to play with that darkness you are hiding from us. We can see it, you know? The need to feel the pain that dances in your pretty eyes," he growled huskily, leaning over to press his mouth against mine, forcing smoke into my lun

    "You always were a lucky bastard," Eryx grunted, smirking with a terrifying look sparkling in his darkened gaze. "I prayed to Fenrir to make her mine once when she had yet to grow those titties you're squeezing. She had a spark in her, one I wanted to snuff out so fucking badly.""Your prayers fell on deaf ears. Fenrir doesn't give any fucks about us, brother.""No? Because I'm pretty sure you returned to find your mate untouched and as pure as the snow that falls on the highest mountain peak of Everest. She remained a virgin by some fucking miracle. Deny it, asshole. I fucking dare you. I scented it, and fuck if it didn't make my wolf unhinged.""Stop being petty as fuck, and come see if my girl responds to you, Eryx," Saint grunted as Eryx pushed off the wall and slowly approached the bed like the monster he was.Eryx sat in front of me, gradually loweing his mouth to mine as I leaned back into Saint. He pulled back, smiling wolfishly at the way my eyes grew large and rounded at his

    I had shit that tasted like acid forced down my throat, and then I was walk- ing barefooted through the meadow. Eryx didn't stop, not even when pine nettles stuck into my foot. The wind howled, biting into my exposed flesh as we moved further out of the lodge, toward the secondary field behind a small copse of trees.My hair whipped against my face and a shiver from the cold sent goose- bumps over my arms. I could make out voices in the distance, along with the scent of people gathered. Peering up at the waning moon, I exhaled as I pondered where and to what I was being marched.If I were lucky, maybe they'd finally end it here? It would suck, of course. I hadn't even started living, unable to escape my father's tyranny without hurting the pack. I'd planned it out perfectly, only to have the last person I'd ever ex- pected to see again fuck it all up. Now, I'd probably die without ever experiencing anything other than pain and agony.We moved past the trees, emerging into the open mea

  • The Alpha’s Omega Mate   Stay with me

    Days went by, and still, no one came to get me out of the dark hole in which they had left me alone. By the seventh day, I'd given up hope of anyone coming to retrieve me. Did the pack not realize that I was gone? Or had Saint made them see what a monster I was? On the eighth day, I was lying on the floor be- tween the bodies when a blinding light disturbed the container.Lifting my arm. I tried to block out the light as someone jumped down, and then pain ripped through me. I gasped, rolling into a tight ball as a booted foot connected with my stomach. Something metal slammed into my head, and then consciousness faded away.When I awoke, it was to being propped up on something small. Opening my eyes, I stared at the shadowy figure in front of me. Blood coated my head, and I tasted it inside my mouth. I inhaled, trying to scent who was in the cart with me, but only the stench of blood and death filled my nose.Turning my head, I screamed as something sliced through my shoulder and thro

    Jackson's hands moved over his heart, and a roguish smile covered his lips. "Never call it such. Daisy Dame," he laughed. "I better go fix the jukebox before Floyd gets here and starts beating it again." "He does love his music," I muttered, turning my attention to the door as it opened.Royce and Bryce, regulars at the bar, entered, shaking the snow from their jackets as they removed them. Grabbing a pitcher, I tipped it to fill for them and took the $20 bill he placed on the bar, breaking it into change for them to play pool. Once they headed off, I started mixing the drinks we'd serve for the special.People began filing in as the clock ticked on, and the music got more bois- terous. I'd finished mixing the drinks for a group of women who were slumming it, their words, not mine. Jackson worked beside me, moving through the orders for the kitchen while I focused on the drinks.I was pouring another pitcher of beer when the doors opened, and a man entered.

    BraelynStepping out of the shower, I peered around the small cramped room. It was hardly big enough to turn around in, but it was clean. We'd rented a new apartment in a high traffic area, close to work, once we'd noticed the wolves around the one Douglas had chosen for us. It would have been more dangerous to be around wolves, especially considering Saint had left me in a precarious condition.I dressed in a pair of soft, stretchy jeans and pulled the camisole top over my sensitive breasts. Turning sideways in the cramped room, I looked at the gentle swell of my belly in the mirror. It was noticeable now and hard to hide that I was pregnant. Groaning. I grabbed the sweater and slipped my arms into it, shoving my hair into a messy bun before I left the room. The stale scent of takeout food made my nose itch, hating that it wasn't the fresh food we'd had on the mountain. I missed the mountain and the protection it would have offered me in my current condition. I hated waking up every

  • The Alpha’s Omega Mate   The hurting truth

    Zayne killed the feed as I moved to grab Chaos. I didn't even know what to say to him since I wasn't able to process what I'd seen. I'd accused Braclyn of helping Harold, and she'd been his primary victim. Why hadn't she said any- thing? Why hadn't she tried to reach me with the truth?"That's why she was so sad all the time," Chaos whispered, his eyes swim- ming with unshed tears. "She tried to hide it and pretend not to be sad, but I sensed it. I caught it once when she was trying to pretend she was happy." He sniffled, and I frowned at his words.I swallowed down the sick feeling as I tried to recall Braelyn ever acting like a victim. "How the fuck did we miss this?" I asked myself, but it was Chaos who answered."You had to watch her when she didn't think you were. Fear is an emotion. and so is pain. We control our emotions, and only we allow people to see them." He handed me a phone, and I stared at it. "I saw it because she seemed sad, but she's Braelyn. She is only sad when no

    Nausea washed through me, knowing exactly how much pain was involved when skinned alive. The entire room watched as Harold tossed the knife aside and spoke to the camera, with no volume, as per his usual shit. It wasn't until someone else entered the room, his face obscured by a mask, that the camera was adjusted, and the volume came to life. I didn't relish the idea of hearing her screams or reliving the tortured memories they'd bring back to life."Nothing yet? She's a different breed, Harold," the masked male an- nounced, and even though he was wearing the mask, we all knew it was Lucas."There is that sadistic fuck, Lucas. I can't believe he was under our noses all this time, and had been the one to help Harold in his torture session. But why wear the mask?" Eryx gripped his fists and shook in rage.My eyes slid back to the woman, noting her head was covered, and I was willing to bet she was probably gagged beneath the sack. It helped Harold and Lucas to dehumanize their victims.

    Saint-Three Months LaterI watched Cole Van Helsing climb out of the Blackhawk helicopter, shield- ing his eyes as he moved toward me, shaking the snow from his heavy coat. Tat- tooed fingers righted the collar of his jacket, and he smiled upon seeing me. "Van Helsing," 1 announced, running my eyes over the tattoo that covered his brow and his temple to vanish into his hairline. "Kingsley, pleasure as always," Cole said in a heavily accented tone that most women would fawn over. "You are causing quite the issue for us. I hope your mate is worth it," he concluded, nodding at the other helicopters that were coming in as Cole's took off to refuel."She is, and I believe she's pregnant with my child," I announced, watching his face pinch with distaste."Seems to be in the water lately," he grumbled. "Someone needs to invent some immortal-proof birth control.""You too, huh?" I asked."No, not me." he said in a tone filled with anger. "Rhys is going to be a daddy, but he's rejected his mat

    "You should run until you reach the furthest exit. It should have anyone trailing Braelyn's scent on your tail while we head in the opposite direction. They aren't expecting her to go through the river, and the rafts will make it near impossible for Saint to catch her scent on the wind. Once you get to the end of the tunnel, Tyler, get on the bike and toss the nightgown over the cliffside. It should have them searching for her until nightfall, leaving us enough time to put some distance between them and us." Douglas dropped the nightgown into Tyler's hand, watching as he took one last long, heated glance at Tora, who smirked wickedly at his interest. "Go, you two can hook up much later once we're off this cursed mountain. The snow is coming, and once it does, we'll be easier to track."We watched Tyler vanish into one of the many caves. Douglas sprinkled the pepper over the entrance of others, including a light dusting at the one where Tyler had disappeared. Moving to where Tora and I

    I'd dressed in a soft pair of jeans and flat, leather, thigh-high boots with multiple buckles covering the top of the leather, curving and hugging my calves. The jacket I'd chosen was army green, with soft fur lining that heated against my arms. Tugging the jacket up tighter, I zipped it while walking the perimeter of the courtyard with Phenrys, my unlucky babysitter for the day.He was silent and vigilant as we moved through the mostly empty yard. I paused, inhaling the crisp air that threatened snow as it stung against my nose and cheeks. "It's cold as shit out here," he grumbled, rubbing his hands together while studying the way I moved. "We're going back inside momentarily because I'm over the cold.""I need to light the candles inside my mother's crypt. They've been ne- glected, and I'd like to do so before we go back inside."Phenrys dropped his head, rolling it back to look at me before sliding his gaze to the crypt that sat a few yards away from the newly built ad-on.

    "Oh, this will be fun." I turned back to him, noticing how his eyes skimmed over my bare skin."Hey, they're at least excited to meet you from what he told me. But there are other Alpha's in the city and the meetings with them aren't going as smoothly without me. They're on edge, and some of them might be secretly against me. There's a lot going on.""Something is always happening in the world. They just all seem to be happening to us right now." I gave him the closest thing I could to a comforting smile, one that wasn't a mask. I needed to be real with him. "Luckily, we can handle your wolves with little interference.""Our wolves, you mean." He corrected and my brow pinched together. "We're mated now, officially. You bear my mark and I'm the Alpha. That makes you their Luna by wolf law."I rose from the bed, setting my feet on the cold floor and closing my eyes as I steadied myself. "Apollo, there's still a chance we won't make it out of here alive. The wolves, that's easy in my min

    Saint climbed into bed, naked. He didn't move the pillows, choosing to slide beneath the covers. Before I could guess what Saint intended, he'd yanked on the blanket, lifting it, sending all the pillows shooting into the air, raining down around the bed. He pounced, capturing my wrists above my head, smiling down at me.“No more walls, woman. You and me, we have to figure out a balance so that we can live together. I know you're struggling because I can feel your turmoil through the link. I can feel your need to run, to escape me, and that isn't happening. I know you, Brae. I know you because you live within in me, inside my fucking soul.""If you really knew me, Saint, you'd know I would never be involved in anything that would hurt this pack." I whispered, struggling to get out from beneath him.He allowed me to wiggle from his grip as he settled in beside me. His attention moved over my face before he softly exhaled.
