~Adriana POV~

-Think about this logically, Adriana. You will pull an entire pack into a war-

-But we would win!- I shoot back at Jacob.

-It is not your place to decide such a fate- He hisses back at me.

My eyes dart to Liam, the blood dripping down his wrists and the pained look on his face is tearing my heart to shreds. My chest is in a vice grip that continues to tighten the longer I stare at him.

“You could always become a rogue and go with Liam,” Marc says, a sly smile tickling the corners of his lips.

-We won’t let him kill Liam. But we have to be smarter than him in our planning.- Jacob assures me through the link.

Marc takes a few tentative steps toward me, Jacob tensing at his closeness, ready to pounce if needed. But Marc just leans in, his evil eyes shimmering with mirth.

“Don’t worry, sweetheart. We won’t kill him right away. No, we aren’t killing him until he is begging for it.”

I snarl at him. and jolt forward in Jacob’s hold, trying to get to Marc. Marc chuckles lightly

    “What?” I say. Axel’s words are like a bucket of water trying to call my anger. “I said let’s go get him.” He says again, reaching out and placing his hand on my shoulder.“But I thought you were trying to avoid a war…”“Jacob said they attacked you first.”“Yes, but they assumed I was a rogue, and I didn’t announce I was a part of a pack. When they found out, they backed off. Plus, it’s an alpha’s word against mine.”“If they attacked your mate, and he is your second chance mate, then they are knowingly killing one of my pack members.” “But you said that…” I try to follow his meaning, but I fall short, too drained for my brain to work appropriately.“I know what I said, Adriana. But no one knows your unique second chance mate situation, but a small group of people.”I frown at him and cross my arms over my chest. He drops his arm and sighs heavily. “Look, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you. I couldn’t until you brought it up.”I roll my eyes. “But you could tell Liam?”“Liam is your othe

    ***TRIGGER WARNING*** Please be aware there may be some triggering content in this chapter including the topic of suicide, the threat of sexual assault, and violence! ~Liam POV~ Marc glowers at me from across as I walk along with my hands bound in silver chains. My sweat burns my skin as it rolls off me in droves, a wonderful side effect of the wolfsbane they forced down my throat. Graham is enjoying watching me struggle through the pain, not that I’m making a spectacle of myself, but I have to admit no amount of forced poison training can ever prepare you for being poisoned from the outside and the inside at the same time. “You are looking a little pale there, Liam.” Graham finally says. I find the strength to roll my eyes. “Fuck off,” I force out, and he grins. “Nah” he shakes his head. “I’d rather not.” I grimace as he pats me on the back roughly and a growl rumbles through my chest, which just seems to please Graham even more. “I feel like you and I have grown especially cl

    By the time we arrive at our destination, be that the rogue camp or my old pack is yet to be seen. Literally, since I’m still sitting blind. They pressed my back against rocks and my silver chained hands dangle above my head. Blood slowly drips down the back of my neck from the sores along my wrist where the silver is burning through my skin. It’s been silent for a few hours. Not even the sound of shuffling has hit my ear. Until right now. A soft rustling comes from my left, and I brace myself for the person who is coming. When Adriana and Axel had been held and tortured for weeks, I didn’t even want to think about how it had been. Adriana, still a partially paralyzed human with severe dependence on pain meds to survive her injury, cold and hungry and hurt because of me. Fate must have a twisted sense of humor for me to find myself in a way similar to hers nearly a year ago.The only difference between her kidnapping and torture is that it was directly correlated with me.

    **Trigger Warning** Retelling of finding someone after suicide. “You are too tough on him” My mother’s voice echoes through the hallway. My father’s laugh booms, filling me with more hatred. I inch closer to the door, taking care to make sure they can’t smell the blood on my back from my most recent beating.“I’m not raising a daughter, Melody. I am raising a warrior. Warriors are tough.”“He is thirteen! He isn’t a warrior, he is a boy.”“He is what I say he is.” he sounds bored with her now.“He is my son and I get a say in how he is raised.”A clapping sound fills the air. “And congratulations, you have raised a pansy-ass little bitch who cries to his mommy when daddy looks at him sideways.”“YOU BEAT HIM WITH A SILVER CHAIN!” she screams at him.“Did you ever think that maybe it’s not just a lesson for him, but for you, too?” I can hear the smile in his voice. The glee in his sick ‘Gotcha’ moment. “W-what?” she stutters out, and I know my father is about to break my mother’s hea

    ~Adriana POV~ “On a scale of one to ten, how pissed do you think Axel will be when he realizes–” Maggie says before being cut off. “That my mate snuck off into the woods to leave ahead of me and the rest of our warriors?” Axel’s voice asks from the cover of the trees to our right. Maggie stops walking and closes her eyes tightly, uttering a curse word. He stalks closer, his hands in his pocket, his face a wall of unreadable stone. “Uh…” I say, looking at the two of them as Axel stops right in front of Maggie, looking down at her. “I’d say Axel is about a ten out of ten. Wouldn’t you agree, Adriana?” He refers to himself as the third person and Maggie’s body sags in defeat. I choose to ignore Axel’s question and check out the treetops. “You wouldn’t let me come.” She reminds him. “Someone needs to stay with Penny.” “And it needs to be me?” Maggie scoffs. “I would prefer it to be, yes.” Axel’s hands come out and he softly strokes his fingers through her blonde curly locks.

    ~ Liam POV~The metallic clanging of the cell door stirs me from my restless slumber and I tilt my chin, trying to rely on my sense of hearing and smell to figure out who is standing in front of me. It’s a futile attempt as everything smells of dingy dungeon and the scurrying rats are making it growingly more difficult to focus. Hugo has been in every day for the past three days, doing his best to help apply the medication to my eyes and wrists. Throughout my stay down here, my silver chains were removed from my wrist and they placed a reinforced iron chain on my ankle, giving me more space to roam, which is better than being stuck pissing my pants on the ground. I press into the wall, using it to help lift myself from the ground. I tetter a little before putting my hand on the cool stone to steady myself.“Are you going to stand in silence in the dark, or are you going to speak eventually?” I ask “Have you tried to open your eyes at all?” Marc’s voice echoes through the cell, and I

    Marc drags me for a short period, forcing me up what feels like wooden stairs before he knocks on a door. It creaks open and someone grunts before my chains are pulled taut again and I’m forced to amble forward. I glance off the doorjamb with a pained grunt before being roughly solved down onto the cool surface of a metal chair. “Have you been feeding him?” A female voice asks as she pokes at me with what I assume is her finger. “It’s only been two days, Uma,” Marc says, not even bothering to hide how annoyed he is. “Two days of no food is two days of slow healing, Alpha.”“Just shut up and fix him.”“I’m going to need to recoup the two days I lost with you not feeding him.” She snaps.“You have one. Focus on his eyes. They are really the only thing I care about.” He mutters and the door slams behind him. I can hear Uma sigh at my ear as her hands cup my face, tilting my chin this way and that way. She mutters to herself and walks away. The sound of clanging pots and pans echo thr

    ~Adriana~-Are you sure he isn’t there?- I verify with Axel through the mind link.-No, I’m not sure. But we have searched the dungeons and everywhere around and have found nothing. That doesn’t mean he isn’t here- -So you have nothing then- I sass at him and I can almost feel his eye roll.-How is your search going?- Axel asks, tossing it back in my face that I am also turning up nothing. -We have located the old alpha rogue camp, but they have stamped it out. Looks like it’s been a day or two since they left-- Keep looking for them- He instructs before ending the mind link. The cool thing about Axel being out with us is that he is still within the limits of the mind link. It makes it so much easier knowing he can speak to me immediately if they find any sign of Liam. “What’d he say?” Abe asks. I give him a side glance and look at the fire in front of us. It’s creepy as shit looking at Axel’s identical twin brother. The only discernible feature between the two of them is Axel’s

  • The Alpha's Redeemer   Mate pairs from all three books!

    **If you have not read Books 1 & 2 this portion contains SPOILERS!** (Mate pairs are at the end of the author's note) Dear Readers, I want to say thank you all for sticking out the entire Guardian collection. It's not a typical series since each book has different main characters and for the most part, are standalone's but if you stuck it out and read all three THANK YOU! I am humbled. The Alpha's Guardian is my first werewolf novel (and only the second book I have ever written in my life) and I like to think I have grown since then. I have only been writing novels for a year so the fact that you all are willing to read and pay for the stories that have been stuck in my head means so much to me. I promise to take all your constructive criticism and kind words to heart and work to better my writing and my storytelling! A special shoutout to the readers for correcting noticeable mistakes I missed. I use two editing apps and still, mistakes happen. When you comment it helps me know w

    The Blue Moon ball has grown in size every time it is held. Thankfully, it’s not a yearly event, considering blue moons aren’t something to be scheduled. Though Axel has his ultima year round, his ability to transform someone into a wolf is only available when the blue moon is out. His powers heighten in the week leading up to it but don’t peak until the moon is at its full height. In eighteen years, there have only been twelve full moons. The saying ‘once in a blue moon’ got its meaning for a reason. When we enter the newly erected ballroom, the chatting is at an all-time high and the room is full of stunning ball gowns and buzzing excitement. Billy saunters over with his mate Bea and they both smile brightly, talking to the triplets. Billy and Bea never had a child of their own. Whether it was by choice, no one really knows as we didn’t feel it was our place to ask. We next run into Emal and Ginger, who have left their only son Edgar at home with Jacob and Cora’s son, Miles and Al,

    “Matty!” Giselle groans in annoyance. Her dark hair pulled back in a sleek low bun, her lavender ball gown making her eyes nearly an amber color as she scowls at her brother. “What?” he says, looking up from the television for a mere second before looking back at it. “You aren’t even dressed yet. Seriously, we have to leave in ten minutes if we are going to be on time,” she says, rushing out of the room, no doubt to grab her older triplets tuxedo and shoes. Giselle is the keeper of order in our house. For the past eighteen years, I was the one to raise the children. Adriana, being one of the lead warriors, was usually home when she wasn’t training, but when she went away on mission, I tended to these sweet kids every need. Well… I suppose these three aren’t kids anymore. I hop up off of my kitchen stool and move over to where Matty is playing his video games and unplug the device. He groans loudly but stands from his spot and gives me a mischievous grin that mirrors my own. Bot

    “I must decline this honor this time.” Axel’s red eyes stare deep into mine and he tilts his head. While I know Axel is understanding of my position and my choice, it is very clear that his Ultima wolf is not keen on me saying no. Though ordinary wolves can not speak, Axel remains in unison with his wolf during the blue moon, allowing him to use his voice to speak. Though it is never anything poignant or flowery. More guttural demands and basic one-word usage.“Why?” He asks me. I stare right back at him.“I am not yet worthy in my mind.” He seems to think about this for a moment, then with a nod, he walks around the room some more, stopping in front of Francis, Wade and Ali’s beta, and his mate Sammy. I feel at peace with my decision. Adriana was right earlier today when she said she could feel me second-guessing myself. But it wasn’t her telling me to trust myself that made me stay the course. It was a decision I made for myself. I am tired of making decisions and hiding behind my

    ~Liam POV~“Everything okay?” Axel asks as I walk into his office.“Yeah,” I say, not giving him much and he lifts a brow, waiting for more of a story. “She had a realization that made her emotions go a little haywire. She was running to find me when I found her.”“Pregnancy hormones?” He asks, and I shake my head. “I’m not so sure. She admitted she didn’t want me to accept a wolf from you. She wants me to be able to find myself without one before accepting.” I explain and he makes a surprised face. “I wasn’t aware you were reconsidering…”“I’m not sure I actually was.” I sigh and plop down in the seat across from him. “All I want is to do right by her. Everything I have done since meeting her has been trying to be better for her. Trying to deserve her and everything she brings to my life.”“You deserve her, Liam.” Axel tries to assure me, but all I can do is chuckle.“I really don’t. She deserves perfection. Adriana is the freaking sunshine and happiness. I was raised being told I a

  • The Alpha's Redeemer   Chapter 46: Real Liam

    ~Adriana POV~ “You chose this?” I ask, my hand running along the soft silky fabric of the gold dress. It’s stunning and simple. The sheath dress has wide straps and a square neckline, where it will be more snug on my breast. It tapers open around my true waist where chiffon falls in uneven strips over the lower half of the gown, giving it a royal punk princess look. “Is it… do you not like it?” Liam asks, sounding so unsure of himself. Liam, not being so confident in his actions, is so much more of a turn-on than he realizes. Where Liam used to be sure of everything and himself, he is floundering to do things for me just to be sweet and he is so worried he is doing it wrong. I spin to face him and put my arms out, calling him to me with a wry smile. “Liam,” I say as I wrap my arms around his neck. “It is the only dress in the world I will ever want to wear again. I love it, almost more than I love you.” He grins, a twinkle of satisfaction and a shimmer of pride as he wraps his ar

  • The Alpha's Redeemer   Chapter 45: Confronting a past

    I walk with Adriana down to the training field. I may not be allowed to do anything strenuous, but I can go for walks and watch my mate be a kick-ass fighter, pregnant belly and all. It’s strange being human. I knew a lot would change, but what I didn’t expect was an eerie sense of peace without my wolf. Where I felt hollow for weeks, I’m now finding peace in the solace. There is no animalistic urge that is overcome with anger and irrational mood swings. I’m just more… human. There is no other way to explain it than that. It’s funny, when I lived in the city there were so many humans looking lost like they were missing something. Maybe it’s the mate bond or maybe it’s just the woman I get to have at my side, but I want for nothing. Okay, occasionally I miss what I had. I will always miss my wolf. He was a part of me, but the longer I am without him, the more I realize he was someone I tried to hide behind. It was so easy to shut myself off emotionally and let him take the reins. Adr

    “So it was Uma?” Adriana asks, slumping into one of Axel’s overstuffed chairs. “But that doesn’t make sense. She saved him.” “She was forced.” Gwen explains over the phone line, “And then she was afraid to say anything. She hasn’t left her home since it happened.” I can feel Gwen’s distress over the situation. Which is understandable. This is Gwen’s first real Luna ask where she and her mate may have to be responsible for the punishment coming to their top healing due to circumstances none of them made. Marc had made them. He always loved fucking up people’s lives and here he is from the grave, doing it again. “Is she there?” I ask, remaining calm. Which feels like a feat. “She is,” Hugo says. My eyes snap to Adriana, who looks sick and conflicted as she rubs her tummy. “Uma, I want you to explain it to me.” I sigh. “Alpha Liam…” “I have told you before, I’m not an Alpha and now I am an omega. Refer to me as Liam,” I snap at her, hating how the word omega tastes on my tongue. “

    “Tell me everything,” Axel says, taking a seat and gripping a pen in his hand. Clearly, Adriana didn't have to wake him up. I regal him with the entire story and watch Adriana as she hears the full version for the first time. I tell them both how I believe that, though my mother started her own suicide, Marc was the one to finish it. No details are spared as I explain Marc’s reasons for hating me and wanting me dead, though I know this won’t help us solve anything but if I’m telling the story, I may as well tell the whale thing to the only two people willing enough to ask for it. “And you tried to get a hold of her?” he asks me, raising a brow. “Yes, multiple times,” I say, nodding. Axel looks like he is in deep thought before he leans back and steeples his hands. “But you got no response? Not even a sound?” Axel is asking. “Uh, there was a strange static noise,” I recall thinking deep on the matter. Axel frowns and shakes his head. “Static? Like an old tv?” Adriana asks.
