The Alpha's Redeemer Chapter 37: I lost him
~Adriana POV~“Do you think Liam will be awake for me to say goodbye to?” Maggie asks as she moves to the office door. “If he isn’t, then wake him up. He will be sad if he misses out,” I say, giving her a smile. Liam likes to think he is so big and tough, but he really will be upset if Maggie doesn’t stop by. In fact, I would bet money that he even got up to shower, so she didn’t have to smell his sweaty self.“It isn’t like she is leaving for a distant country. Our pack is half a day away and we are neighbors. Plus, we will be out—” Jacob peters off when he sees the scowl coming from both Maggie and me and he lifts his hands up in defense. “Saying goodbye is always a good thing,”I smirk at him, and he grins back. We all know better than to question Maggie and Liam’s friendship. They are like me and Axel. A familial bond forged out of something akin to blood. Blood shared or bloodshed side by side. There is no difference when it comes to our families. Blood is blood, and we care dee
The Alpha's Redeemer Chapter 38: Helicopter rides
“Stop!” the woman screams again and I turn to see Uma running toward me, pushing Billy and Jacob both aside. Gwen rushes in behind her, her eyes wide and her cheeks flushed red from exertion. “He… He..” I can’t even form a coherent sentence as my eyes meet Gwen’s, then swing to Maggie, who is clutching to Axel. Axel has his eyes trained on me to worry the forefront of his emotions. “I know, dear. Just let me look at him.” Uma says falling to her knees and ripping his shirt open. Uma presses her head to his blood-stained chest, then inspects the entry point and grabs hold of his wrist. “You need to move,” she instructs without so much as a glance my way. Billy steps up and helps me up, while Uma gently eases Liam’s head to the ground. Ume glances up at me briefly and sighs heavily. “Is he dead?” she asks. I know she is talking about Marc. it doesn’t take a genius to guess what the hell has happened here. “Yes,” I murmur, watching her closely.“You need to get your injuries tended
The Alpha's Redeemer Chapter 39: A price to pay
When we pull up to the emergency entrance, Maggie and I practically dive-bomb out of the car. Partly because we want to get to Liam, but mostly because Declan is the scariest fucking driver I have ever ridden with in my life. Maggie clutches my hand for support as we both take our wobbly legs inside. “I am never ever riding with Declan again,” she mutters, looking a little green in the face. I am certain my pallor matches hers. A nurse rushes over to us with concern on her face.“Where are your injuries? Are you two okay?” She rushes out and reaches to touch my arms. I give Maggie a once over and I nearly laugh at how bad she looks. Her tears are red-rimmed from crying and Liam’s blood is smeared all over her and her outfit from when she held onto him while I killed Marc. “We are fine” She offers a reassuring smile, but the nurse turns to me next.“I can’t help you ladies if you don’t tell me what is wrong with you.” She says, looking concerned.“My mate is here.” I usher out and sh
The Alpha's Redeemer Chapter 40: He chose you
The door pushes open and I jump up, running my clammy hands down my pant legs. The sight of the nurse has my heart in my throat and my mouth dry. What if she is coming to tell me he is gone? Or worse, that there is nothing they can do and I have to watch him wither away? She smiles at me and ambles across the large room.“You are the patient’s wife?” She asks me.“Yes.” My voice wavers on just one word. “Wonderful. I have an update about your spouse.”“Is he going to survive?” I whisper, the tears leaking down the sides of my face as cold fear grips me. “Mr. Jones is still in surgery. But they are closing him up as we speak.” All I can do is nod and hold my stomach. They are closing him up. Maybe it’s how the words sound or it could be the thought of him being cut open on a table, but the visual makes me nauseous.“But he is going to be okay?” I ask hopefully, and she frowns.“I’m sorry Ms. Jones. That’s not for me to say. I just wanted to keep you updated on his progress. Your husb
The Alpha's Redeemer Chapter 41: Home again
“Don’t do that!” I hiss at Liam as he winces, pulling the door open to his hospital room. A week of him being stuck in his room is driving him crazy. Thankfully, they gave me the green light to take Liam back to the pack and care for him there. He sighs heavily as I gently ease him out of the way so I can reach the door. His hands snake around my waist with a satisfied groan. Liam’s hands land protectively over my belly as if he is trying to hold our baby. He has had his hands on me nonstop since he woke up six days ago. He insisted I sleep in the bed with him every night. When my hands weren’t occupied doing other things, they were in his. Even when the medication he was on made him pass out. “We need to go” I release a breath of air and lean into his shoulder, trying my best to keep my weight off his chest. Liam leans down and brushes his lips against my ear. “Okay. Take me home,” he whispers. I try to wipe the goofy grin on my face when I yank the door open, but I look over my s
The Alpha's Redeemer Chapter 42: Are you mad?
~Liam POV~I jerk upright, sharp pain in my chest and aches in my body, letting me know it’s time for my pain meds. Before I can even throw the covers off my sweaty body, there is a movement to my right and the light clicks on. The soft yellow tones of my bedside lamp flood the room and Adri is standing in front of me.With a sweet smile, she holds out a glass of water and my little white pills that offer me relief. I should thank her, and appreciate her willingness to take care of me, but my irrational anger wins. I snatch the pills from her swallowing them down with a gulp of water before handing them back. Adriana saunters over to the bathroom in nothing but her skimpy shorts and flimsy tank and I settle back in bed, hating this feeling. Uselessness is a new emotion for me and, combined with the overwhelming feeling of loneliness, the combination feels nearly fatal. It only seems to get worse by her waiting on me hand and foot. We have been back for almost two weeks and anytime I
The Alpha's Redeemer Chapter 43: A new wolf?
“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.
The Alpha's Redeemer Chapter 44: You redeemed me
“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. “

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 Alpha's Redeemer Epilogue part 2
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,
The Alpha's Redeemer Epilogue Part 1
“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
The Alpha's Redeemer Chapter 48: Three?
“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
The Alpha's Redeemer Chapter 47: Accepting fate
~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
