The Criminal's Alpha Chapter 42
Jake's POVAs we made our way up to the On The Border near the mall, I could smell the food from a mile away, and it was just as alluring as the first time, the second time...ah hell, every time that we came here. It was a chain restaurant but the atmosphere of this one was just so soothing that we didn't really care about how the people acted, as we mostly just took to ourselves."Nervous about tonight?""Am I not always nervous when it comes to Alex? I'm a submissive, yet I carry myself as if I'm a switch or a dom, I enjoy letting her be the one in charge even when I'm so used to being the one in charge because of our family.""That's understandable man, but when it comes to relationships, especially your mate, you have to be able to draw a line between the two and when to keep them separate and when to join the two.""Fair enough," I said as we pulled up to our spot, getting out of the car, we stepped towards the door and waited for someone to take us to a booth, "What am I so worr

Jake's POV"I need an adult.""I am an adult," Alex said, trying to hold back her laughter catching the TFS reference, she took a seat next to me and put her arm around my shoulder pulling me into a hug."What is this?""Affection.""Disgusting...gimme more," I said, giggling and smiling, just generally happy to have this moment with her before tonight. I didn't deserve this kind of happiness, with all the atrocities Jack and I had committed, we deserved nothing more than death itself, and yet, here I was. Getting the one thing I so desperately craved and didn't believe that I deserved. I was brought out of my ocean of negativity by Alex kissing my forehead trying to get my attention."Hey, I don't know what's going on inside that pretty little head of yours, but if it's making you sad you better stop. Or imma kick it's ass, and then fuck yours," Alex said with a wink, and based on the glint in her eye, I was blushing a beat red, "You're so cute when your cheeks glow like that, I wond
The Criminal's Alpha Chapter 44
Alexis' POVWhen I tell you that the look on Jack's face was priceless, I mean it, if I had a camera I would've taken a picture so that I would never forget the cute blush that crept over his face. I watched as he tried, and failed, to fight his blush knowing that I wasn't bluffing. If I had wanted to fuck him right now, he would be on his knees begging for me, and he knew it, but he wasn't the focus of my attention anymore; I had gotten what I wanted from him, but I still had questions for Jake."Love, if I may ask you, what's your favorite food? I know you drink way too much soda, but for some reason that I have yet to understand, instead of damaging you, it heals you.""I'd have to say guacamole, I like Chimichangas a lot too, but I've always had a soft spot for guac.""If I made it so that there were ingredients for guac grown at my place, would you be willing to come to visit me next week?"When I tell you that there were no words to describe the look of disbelief and joy on this
The Criminal's Alpha Chapter 45
Jack's POVAfter we finished eating, we paid our bill and got out of the restaurant as quickly as we could without drawing too much attention to ourselves. I hadn't opened my mouth about the waitress yet, and Alex knew why; I had told her wolf through our mind link while we were eating, and informed her that I would explain it to Jake before we fused again to meet up with her. She agreed and kissed Jake on the cheek before she made her way to her truck, going the opposite direction that we were going so that if anyone decided to try and tail us they'd have to make a decision: Split up to get both parties or all-in on one party. As we got in the truck, Jake sighed as if there was a metric ton of shit he wanted to say but knew he couldn't say it until I got my info out there, he needed to hear this as much as he may not want to."Alright, Jakey boy, let's get going," I said as I started the truck, and headed down towards the I-35, "The thing about the waitress that we couldn't tell you
The Criminal's Alpha Chapter 46
Lucifer's POVJack and Jake hadn't been home in quite a while, not that I blame them, they had a lot on their plates. Mate bonds, Criminal activity, protecting their family, you name it they probably have to think or deal with it. As Jake watched us, playing with Jameson, Jack and I watched the rapist that changed their lives groan in pain at the burns over his body."You know, I didn't think that the thermite pit would be that effective, and I have never been happier to be proven wrong.""What brought you to us today, Lucy? You usually don't visit us unless there's something behind it," Jack said as he threw a cigar my way, lighting his own and taking a long drag, he inherited my lungs."Well, I haven't seen you guys in a while, and you found Gloria at the restaurant earlier so I thought I'd have a talk and see what insight I could give. Maybe even clue you in on what her plan is currently, It's not as bad as you would think, but it is Gloria so you've always got to be careful there.
The Criminal's Alpha Chapter 47
Alex's POVI had never been happier to get out of a restaurant than I had been today, which sent shivers down my spine. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't be stressing out over a waitress, let alone someone working at a place that seemed so homely; But these weren't normal circumstances, Jack had informed me of who Gloria is and she scared the shit out of me if he was right."A demon of love? That's a new one, even for Jack," I said to myself as I continued down the road heading south, I needed a bit of time to myself to process what he had told me through our link. Apparently, there was a demon for anything and everything, ranging from something as simple as Joy and Bliss to something as complicated as love and that wasn't something I was going to take lightly.'He did mention to not stress over it, that this would be something that he would take care of, didn't he?' Alexis said, trying to help me process what I physically couldn't comprehend."He did, but that's not what's worry
The Criminal's Alpha Chapter 48
Milo's POVI woke up again in the void, this has been going on for at least a week now, I wake up in darkness and die in darkness. It had gone on for so long that I don't even fear what comes anymore seeing as there seems to be no end, may as well embrace the cold. I had created a small cube that reminded me of the Dwemer Puzzle Cube, that played music to keep me distracted while I tried to come up with ways to escape the void, no matter how many times I died I was determined to find a way out of here. At the moment, "Seven" a song by Boondox was playing, I couldn't control the music box so much as I could will a certain song to play that matched my mood. Seven was a song that I usually woke up to, it symbolized that I was usually scared when I first woke up until I remembered everything. Where I was, Who I am, and How I got here, usually dying the previous day; At this point, I was so used to the cold embrace of the void that I would be more terrified if it was warm and inviting, as
The Criminal's Alpha Chapter 49
Jake's POVAfter our meeting with Lucy, we got back in the car and headed back up to the home to get ready for our meetup with Alex. When we got home, we saw Derek and Jade waiting for us out front, with stupid grins on their face and we could tell they just got lucky. They had their glow about them, and something told me there was something else to it."Hey Jake, how's it hanging?""Not bad, Derick, not bad at all. How yall doing? How's JJ and Nicki?" I asked and got an even wider grin out of both of them, they did get lucky, and their partners were asleep so they could talk without a filter."We heard from Jack that yall had a meeting with Alex tonight, thought you might need some help getting ready for her," Jade said as Jack went inside to get a drink, he knew it would probably take me an hour or so to get ready, so, might as well kick back and chill."Why not? Y'all know how hard it is for me to get ready anyways.""Oh yeah, we know, we know better than you realize," Derick said

Jacke's POVAs I continued showing Pete around the basement, answering his questions as they came, I realized that I had come a long way since the times when I first placed these items here. If you had asked me a century ago if I would be willing to show this room to anyone outside my family, I would've choked you with your own hands for asking a stupid question. Yet, here I was, showing Pete these artifacts from my past as if I had known the man my whole life. We continued going through the room with many questions asked and answered, and finally arrived at the most recent artifacts I had stored down here."This is the sword that belonged to a nobleman I had killed a decade or so ago, he had a significant bounty on his head, and I was bored that day. I grabbed two of my family members, got in one of my trucks, and flew out to Europe; He had been abusing his money and political influence to further his ends, without any care in the world for how it had affected his 'subjects'," I said
The Criminal's Alpha Chapter 79
Jacke's POVI woke up the next day with Alex holding on to me with an iron grip, it looks like I wasn't getting out the easy way this morning. I grabbed her hand and kissed it trying to loosen her grip on me so I could stand up and start my day, but she wouldn't budge. With a little struggle, I turned around to look her in the face as she started waking up."Pup, it's early, go back to sleep," She groaned when she saw me looking up at her with a stupid-looking grin, I knew it was early in the morning but I had way too much energy to just sit still."I don't want to go back to sleep though, I have too much energy to sit still, Alex," I said as I wiggled around trying to get free, to no avail. She wouldn't let me go as easy as she did yesterday, even if it were so she could sleep in."You're not getting up anytime soon, you're going to sit here and accept my love, Nerd. Besides, it'll be more peaceful for food if we let the morning crew get their grub first," She said as I cuddle back i
The Criminal's Alpha Chapter 78
Alex's POVWe made our way back home hand-in-hand, cracking jokes and talking about what would change in Jacke's life now that he was my Luna. It wasn't anything groundbreaking, but he needed to know that he would need to be more careful about his lifestyle; Acting more in the shadows and not trying to cause a scene everywhere he went. He took it shockingly well, going so far as to explain that it wouldn't be difficult to make those kinds of changes with the decades upon decades worth of resources he'd built up."It won't be a drastic change, from the sounds of it, it would just mean that I'd have to do less of the leg work and live a more peaceful life by your side," He said squeezing my hand, and I would've been lying if I said that my heart didn't skip a beat."What did I ever do to deserve you, Pup?""Do I need to make a list? I think the most potent reason would probably be that you exist," He said chuckling as we made our way up the trail back home. It took a lot of willpower to
The Criminal's Alpha Chapter 77
Jacke's POVAlex took hold of my hand as we left home to go out on a walk, and followed the trail leading to where we hoped to find Mallow still there. We walked hand in hand with my music playing on my phone, I was more or less pestering Alex into telling me what her 'surprise' was but she wouldn't budge. She insisted that she wasn't going to spoil the surprise no matter how many times I asked, and I took that as a personal challenge. So, I did what I do best, and tried to tease her with a small whimper, but that didn't do anything but make her smirk."You keep making those kinds of noises, and we'll see who's really in charge here, love," She said looking at me, smirking with a look on her face that screamed 'Test me'."You're lucky I love you, Alex," I said trying to ignore the blush that was creeping on my face. I don't know how she did this, taking the stone-cold attitude I usually had, only to cast that aside to reveal my shy side without any issues."You're right, I am quite lu
The Criminal's Alpha Chapter 76
Alex's POVI woke up later than I usually do to notice two things seemed off: One, Jacke wasn't in my bed, and Two, It was peaceful and quiet. With everything that was going on something smelled fishy, so I got up, got dressed, and left our room to head downstairs. Pete was in the kitchen drinking a cup of coffee, so I grabbed one myself before taking a seat next to him."Morning, Alex, what's going on with you?""Have you seen Jacke? He wasn't in bed when I woke up," I asked before taking a sip of my coffee and trying to not let my nerves get the best of me."Jacke? Yeah, we had a conversation earlier about the speech before he left to go find Mason, I presume to have the same kind of conversation.""Fucking hell, have mercy on me I just woke up. Did the conversation at least go well with the two of you?""Oh yeah, I think it went phenomenally. He got straight to the point and was very kind, all-be-it concerned about having to give a speech to the pack as a whole. He told me about ho
The Criminal's Alpha Chapter 75
Jacke's POVThe following morning I woke up early, at the crack of dawn, and got out of bed as carefully as I could to not wake Alex up and let her sleep in. I left the room and walked out and downstairs into the kitchen to see it was empty, leaving me all the room to make some food. We split and Jake took a seat while I grabbed a carton of eggs from the fridge, an onion, and a roll of ground sausage. Browning the sausage in one pan while I diced the onion to make some breakfast burritos, Jake sat staring into space deep in thought."What's on your mind, Bud?""Just thinking about how we're going to go about talking to Pete, and Alex's Beta. Pete seems like a nice dude, but I don't know how I'd be able to play nice with Alex's old bully," He said before I handed him a drink, "Thank you. I mean, is it just me? I feel like it's almost a test for us not to just deck the guy after what he put her through.""Under normal circumstances, I would agree with you one hundred percent, however, t
The Criminal's Alpha Chapter 74
Jacke's POVWe descended the ladder into the cellar below with an empty jar, and once we got to the bottom Alex stood at the ladder to make sure no one else came in, while I made my way to the altar in the center. The ashes were still there in the pile that Lady Muerte had left them, and nothing had looked like it changed, but it was time for a change. I grabbed my knife from my coat and carefully moved the ashes from the alter into the jar, until there wasn't any left and twisted the lid on tight. I was going to take a trip later this week to the Gulf of Mexico and disperse the ashes into the water, symbolizing an end to our chapter of pain and suffering. That section of our life was over, and a new chapter was beginning to unfold before us, one with Alex by our side and a new family that was bigger and stronger than it had been before.I looked around the room and took in every last detail, from the chests full of coins we'd dug up over the years, to the racks of weaponry that we ne
The Criminal's Alpha Chapter 73
Jacke's POVTo say I was anxious as we walked through the doors to see some of Alex's family members there would be a massive understatement, I didn't think I would've been asked to talk with them this soon, but I suppose it was better now than later. One of them walked forward to shake my hand and pulled me into one hell of a bear hug."It's about time we met you, Lad," He said before letting go, giving me room to breathe after he squeezed the wind out of me, "Alex has spoken quite highly of you, and rightfully so it would seem, as we're building our new home here. Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Pete, Alex's uncle and the one who more or less took her in after her parents passed.""Pete, I'm surprised you guys were waiting for us here, I thought we weren't to go through with the ceremony until later this week. You know, once we're done rebuilding and all?" Alex asked through a glare that would make most men shit themselves, but apparently, Uncle Pete had seen this glare before and
The Criminal's Alpha Chapter 72
Alex's POVWe walked out the front door and out to watch as our families were hard at work, building back from the remains of La Bruja's damages, and building our new home bigger and sturdier. Nicki and Jade were working with my Beta to build a library due east of the center of town, Jacke made a note that 'Preserving the knowledge and history of the past, helps us to build a better and brighter future' before we continued onward towards the front of the town. They built a large gate for people to come in and out of, with a walkway and a driveway for trucks and cars, and as we passed by many of my packmates waved hello."Hey guys, good to see you back in action!" I said as we passed by, Jacke waved as we made our way to the garage. We got in his truck with me at the wheel, and head off towards his warehouse, where he had said the remaining members of his family from the Necropolis were waiting. We drove through town and parked outside the warehouse before heading inside to see everyon
