The Alpha's Warlock Joined
Chapter 10JoinedI bit, and his blood flooded my mouth, hot and rich and as necessary as breathing. I drank and drank, instinct taking over as my body insisted on replenishing its strength. The lingering damage to my internal organs healed immediately. And then it was pure bliss, life flowing into me and making me invincible.My cock strained hard and insistently against a soft, pliant body, and I distantly felt movement under me and fingers clawing into my shoulder.I needed more, and my hands moved, finding fabric where there should’ve been smooth skin. The barrier had to go. I tugged and tore, and there were sounds, moans and cries and whimpers. I drank, and my hands found yielding flesh at last.My name. I could hear my name. That voice tugged something in my chest.Laurie.I snapped out of it like crashing down from a third-floor fire escape and pulled my teeth out of him, licking off the last of the blood and pushing up on my elbows.Laurie. His chest rose and fell frantically

Chapter 11BoundA car engine gunning its way up the hill had me awake and alert in an instant. I knew I’d slept about five hours; I’d always had an excellent sense of time, something common to vampires. That meant it was maybe eight in the morning.Laurie was still curled up against me with his face pressed to my bare chest. I had my arms around him under the blankets, and our legs were tangled together. Every single point of contact, from his calf against mine to the way his elbow was poking me in the stomach, felt like a brand. I could’ve stayed there as long as he slept.Instead, I slid out of bed as quickly as I could without jostling him too much, already reaching for the sweatpants and t-shirt I’d shed the night before, finding them hanging off the side of the bed.Laurie jolted awake, his whole body tense within a second. He stared at me, his eyes wide. “Victor, what’s — fuck, what’s wrong?” He tried to sit up and then moaned, dropping back down. “What’s wrong with me?”“You w
Last Updated : 2024-10-31The Alpha's Warlock Epilogue: Laurie
EpilogueLaurieVictor was in a foul mood when he came home from work. He didn’t take it out on me, because he never did. But he was pissed.“Fucking werewolves,” he grunted as he kicked off one of his steel-toed boots. “Fucking werewolves, I’m so fucking sick,” he kicked off the other and it hit the wall by the door with a thump, “of fucking werewolves fucking up my coats.”The front of his latest leather coat hung in tatters, and it was wet. Probably blood, knowing Victor. Which I did, better than I’d ever imagined I’d know the man who’d stepped out of an alley and offered me three hundred dollars to lick my lip six months before.I hid a smile. His coats were his one vanity. He didn’t seem to get that he was just as terrifying, and just as gorgeous, wearing borrowed sweatpants or nothing at all.Nothing at all. There was an idea. I was so nervous about my sister and nephews coming to visit the next day that I’d spent all afternoon cleaning the house, rearranging the new couch and d

Mismatched Mates #3The Alpha Experiment Chapter 1 They Expect ResultsThe third confusing, vaguely disturbing email came in with a ping on the Friday afternoon right before midterms.Still desperately trying to get my Chem 101 exam organized, I almost ignored the sound from my laptop. I had the questions scrawled on sticky notes, and I’d been shifting them around on the whiteboard trying to make sure I’d really covered everything and hadn’t given away the answer to one question in another.But any port in a storm, and at this point, my whiteboard resembled a category three hurricane.I dropped into my desk chair and opened up my email.And then wished I hadn’t.Dr. McEwen:I would like to remind you that I am still awaiting a reply to my two previous messages. Please respond immediately. The opportunities I can offer you are much greater than you can imagine, and working with us would benefit you and your pack. I would much prefer to meet you at a time of your choosing, but we will

Chapter 2 Two Hours and Thirty-Four MinutesColin’s phone went to voicemail.Because of course it did, and it being the middle of the night had nothing to do with it. In the spring, Colin had become the leader of his pack, following some incredibly shady, and incredibly stupid, behavior on the part of the former pack leader, Colin’s father. In his usual overly-casual way, Colin had later admitted he’d had to beat the shit out of his own dad while imprisoned by magic in the middle of a bloody pack war, and then pick up the pieces.I’d talked to him on the phone a few hours before that, also in the middle of the night, when he’d called me to fill me in. He’d wanted someone outside his pack, someone he trusted to be practical and logical and on his side, to know what was going on in case everything went to shit. I’d done my best to advise him, but pack wars weren’t really in my wheelhouse. I’d asked him to let me get back to him after I consulted my parents.When I’d called him back ha

Chapter 3 Fight or FlightWe never got to drink the rest of the beer.The call to my parents went about as well as I’d expected. I put them on speaker so Colin could chime in, and he ran interference for me like a boss. My dad got that grim-voiced thing that meant he was so angry he had to repress it or explode, and my mom went quiet, which meant she was plotting some kind of horrific punishment for whoever had taken those photos.My mom might not have had any supernatural ability to kick ass, but she didn’t really need it. I almost pitied whoever ended up in her crosshairs.And who that unlucky asshole would be was really the only point of disagreement. I’d come around to the idea that it was too much of a coincidence to get the emails and the photos in the same short span of time. But my dad was convinced the stalkers had to be a werewolf pack that wanted Fiona as a mate for one of their own. He scoffed at the idea of a human company posing any real threat to us.Colin and I looke

Chapter 4 Under Duress“Well, that could’ve gone worse, right?”Colin started the car without saying a word in reply. He didn’t need to. It could’ve gone worse, in the sense that I could’ve been locked in the shed with Evan standing guard outside, something that might very well have happened if I hadn’t brought my very own alpha along as backup. I liked Colin’s voice, but no sound had ever been quite as welcome as the Cadillac’s engine grumbling to life, telling me it was about to take me away from all this.Only two hours had passed since we arrived; the sun still hadn’t made it up enough to shine straight down through the thick forest, its rays skimming along the treetops and filtering sideways through the branches. The way I felt, it ought to have been going down already. I’d thought I’d been tired when we got there.But no, not tired. Not remotely, not compared to now. I picked up a discarded pair of knock-off mirrored aviators lying in the center console—with a few friends; how
Last Updated : 2024-10-31The Alpha's Warlock Hold, Please
Chapter 5 Hold, PleaseWe followed the plan, and the rest of the weekend flew by in a blur of coffee and sticky notes. I finished the Chem 101 midterm, finally, and then moved on to intro genetics—which wasn’t as difficult, ironically, because I could write it with a little faith in my students’ ability to read.I had that one done and dusted just in time, at the stroke of three A.M. on Monday morning, and slumped back in my chair with a sigh. Colin glanced up from his phone and shot me an encouraging smile. He’d been sprawled on the couch all night, and his half-drunk beer sat next to him, on top of the pizza box on the coffee table. I’d opted to work at home so that Colin didn’t need to hang around my office being bored and distracting me.Earlier on Sunday, just for fun, I’d sent Meredith a picture of Colin along with my update text.She had sent one of those goggle-eyed emojis and then complained, at length, about my choice to keep Colin at home instead of hanging around the off

The Alpha's Warlock Epilogue :You Don’t Want a Choice
EpilogueYou Don’t Want a Choice“Mr. Castelli,” Laura said, and smiled warmly. “Go right in. He’s never too busy for you.”“You know it’s Blake.” She shook her head, laughed, and went back to typing.I hadn’t yet given up on trying to convince Declan’s assistant that I didn’t deserve any particular formality; after nearly four months of trying, though, I’d started to fear it was hopeless.I set the double latte I’d grabbed on my way at the edge of her desk—if she insisted on calling me Mr. Castelli, I’d at least make sure she said it with affection—and stepped into Declan’s office.He glanced up from his laptop and then immediately back down again, which I knew meant “I’ll forget what I was typing if I don’t do it right now.” At first that’d hurt my feelings. Shades of being treated like an unwelcome and disliked inconvenience at Castelli Industries, of so many times I’d been called on the carpet in my father’s office only to be ignored until he deigned to notice me. But I knew it w
The Alpha's Warlock A Lucky Man
Chapter 21A Lucky ManIf I’d really tried, I might’ve been able to look at a calendar and count how many times Declan had laid me out on his bed, naked and waiting for him to take what he wanted.But I didn’t need to count to know that it’d never been like this.He settled me on my back, head carefully placed on a pillow, kneeling between my legs and leaning down to stroke a hand through my hair and down my cheek, coming to rest across my throat. Instead of a threat, it felt like safety.All right, a little bit of a threat.But that only had my cock perking up, getting harder every second that he pinned me down, glowing eyes fixed on my face with an intensity that would’ve had any sane man running away screaming.Or spreading his legs.I went with option two, letting my knees fall open to give him full access, my arms relaxed at my sides. Touching him—I wanted to, and I would. But right now I knew what he needed from me, and that was complete surrender, allowing him to re-stake his
The Alpha's Warlock Ten Years Ago
Chapter 20Ten Years AgoNo matter how many times I’d daydreamed about Declan kissing me, the reality far outstripped the fantasy—and how often could you say that about anything? His mouth took control of mine the same way his body had taken control of me so many times, opening me and tasting me and laying me bare for him to use however he wanted.Which happened to be what I wanted too, so badly that I ached for it. His tongue teased between my lips and twined with mine as his arms tightened, gathering me so close that not a millimeter of space was left in between us.Declan kissed me until I couldn’t breathe, my lungs hot and laboring. All the pain and fear of the last few hours melted away, a much better and more natural kind of magic than the ones I’d experienced so far tonight.I pressed against him, kissing him back with everything I had, trying to spread my legs and wrap myself around him and take him into me so that he’d never leave.Declan tore his mouth away and lifted his h
The Alpha's Warlock My Life Mattered
Chapter 19My Life MatteredWhen I woke up, the SUV was moving—but I couldn’t shift so much as a muscle. My head had gotten crammed against the door and my neck ached like a bitch. My arms lay limp, one dangling to the floor of the car and the other on my leg. I tried to twitch a finger.No go.I couldn’t open my eyes, either, or speak. My autonomous functions weren’t affected, though: I could still hyperventilate. Lucky me.Kidnapped. I’d been fucking kidnapped, and the first thing Declan would do would be call me. No doubt they’d gotten rid of my phone. Then he’d look for me. He wouldn’t find me. And then he’d probably request—and be allowed, professional courtesy and all that—to review the security footage of me leaving the party and the path I’d followed from there.For a brief, shining instant, I almost felt relieved. Declan would look for me, he’d see the video and know—despair squeezed my chest into a tight ball.He’d see me looking nervous and running out of the building as i
The Alpha's Warlock This Won’t Go On
Chapter 18This Won’t Go OnDeclan hustled me out the door the second I emerged from the bathroom, ushering me downstairs and into a waiting limo. A nice one: black, not too stretched, no neon lights or anything tacky, nothing I’d have to be embarrassed about riding in.I tried to focus on how good it felt to be wearing decent clothes, going somewhere in a respectable vehicle, and for fuck’s sake, actually leaving the Morrigan and going somewhere, rather than on being in an enclosed space with Declan and our combined scents of sex and alpha desire.If I focused on that, I’d end up begging him to knot me in the car after all.The limo pulled out of the Morrigan’s driveway and into traffic on the Strip. It was Friday night stop and go. Maybe we had time for a fuck after all?“Where are we going? Am I allowed to ask?”“Not far,” he said, putting paid to my hopes. “A few blocks. If I’d been going with Wa—colleagues I probably would’ve walked. I thought you might appreciate going in style
The Alpha's Warlock I Missed Your Voice
Chapter 17I Missed Your VoiceSince I’d never slept in Declan’s bed before, I woke up confused, disoriented, and with a mouth that tasted like someone had murdered a particularly sandy desert and buried its corpse under my tongue.Well, that last part didn’t have anything to do with Declan’s bed, to be fair.I rolled over and groaned, throwing an arm across my eyes to keep the sunlight out, because someone had left the blinds wide fucking open when he got up and went to work.I knew I’d be fine once I had a couple of glasses of water and a bite to eat; hangovers weren’t really that much of a thing for werewolves without serious effort involving multiple illicit substances, and I hadn’t been to a party that good in like, six months. But seriously. Close the damn blinds. Fuck.It crossed my mind to find my phone, make some coffee, and send him a text complaining about the window.And then I sat bolt upright, head in my hands, and let out another groan.I’d slept in his bed. We hadn’t
The Alpha's Warlock Kind of Endearing
Chapter 16Kind of EndearingI woke up the next day just after eight o’clock, early by my previous standards but late by the standards of the company I kept these days. The cold coffee pot, holding only a few teaspoons of dregs, told me that Declan had been up and gone for hours. The usual hundred dollar bill sat beside it.That felt a little bit like I’d been slapped. I’d sat there and worked on that stupid spreadsheet for three full hours the day before without even getting up for a glass of water. I’d only stopped when Declan stood, put on his jacket, and told me it was quitting time.But apparently he assumed I’d be right back to blackjack and vodka today.Well, fuck him.I made a fresh pot of coffee, ordered some room service—an omelet, because I knew if I had any carbs at all I’d fall asleep with my face in the keyboard—and dressed in the closest thing I had to what the other people I’d seen in the offices had been wearing, black slacks and a blue button-down. I couldn’t wear a
The Alpha's Warlock Try Me
Chapter 15Try MeLetting it all go seemed easy at first.I’d spent so many years showing—and allowing myself to feel—only the most surface of emotions: anger, entitlement, arrogance. Under the circumstances, I chose to temporarily trade those in for indifference, apathy, and resignation, but it was just as fake and just as likely to keep people from looking any deeper.My family hadn’t looked any deeper. Neither had Declan. Clearly, no one wanted to.And it worked. When I didn’t try to fight back, didn’t bother arguing or demanding answers, Declan didn’t go out of his way to humiliate or torment me aside from the rough, careless way he used me. He texted me at some point during the day to let me know when he wanted me available to be fucked, I awaited him obediently, and he fucked me. Sometimes he put me on my knees instead, or in addition to. I opened my mouth or spread my legs, and I moaned and cried out when he made me come, but I didn’t talk more than I absolutely had to.I took
The Alpha's Warlock What’s Worse?
Chapter 14What’s Worse?Declan’s knot hadn’t gone down at all by the time I blinked my eyes open and slowly came back to reality, lying on my side with Declan wrapped around me from behind. The bite he’d left on my neck throbbed in time with my heartbeat. I could feel his, too, syncing with mine and vibrating through my back.And I felt safe again, which made me want to throw up and then run away screaming.Well, he’d already made me scream. Running away was out. And it’d suck to throw up all over the bed and be stuck here.Unfortunately, that left me with nothing to do but lie there enclosed in his arms listening to his steady breaths in my ear, savoring the heat of his body and the softness of the bed.Ugh. Savoring. I really was, and it made me swallow hard against a wave of real nausea.But it suddenly occurred to me that maybe Declan felt something similar. Pheromones. Hormones. Borderline mating-magic. I couldn’t be the only one completely at their mercy, could I? He might not
