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

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

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

Alexis' POVAfter the longest day that we have had yet, we had finally finished up with all the pack business we had on our 'to do' list, including but not limited to: Inventory stock taking at the general store, the judgment of a few rogues who had requested refuge, and answering a seemingly infinite number of questions about Jacke from our pack. Overall, the day wasn't too bad, just tiring as for every task that we completed we had half a dozen questions to answer about our mate.'Are you sure he's your mate?''What happens if he loses his temper towards the pack?''Is he safe to have here? Or are you only saying he's safe to be here because he's your mate?'These questions and more had made me livid and wanting to rip limb from limb, but I couldn't for obvious reasons. I wasn't going to let their curiosities bring me down, no matter how irritated it made me, he was ours from start to end and as much as we would be there for him, we knew he would be there for us. After finishing the
The Criminal's Alpha Chapter 51
Jacke's POVWe would be lying through our fucking teeth if we said that what Alex had told us wasn't at least mildly concerning. I mean, it was one thing for an Archdemon to talk about fighting death, because we had danced that dance and came out on top simply because of Jake's will to live; Alex on the other hand, Alex wasn't like us, she was a werewolf and had an afterlife that was blissful waiting for her when her time came."Yo-you do realize what you just said, right?! This kind of thing is no joke to talk about, especially at a time and place like this.""Bold of you to assume I would lie to your face, Pup, if death comes knocking on my door expecting to take me away from you...he'll find nothing but a cornered animal waiting for a good fight. If there's one thing I've learned in my time on this rock we call home, nature always wins, and my Goddess knows my will to be with you. This road we walk isn't an easy one, but it is ours, and our path will show no fear for neither of us
The Criminal's Alpha Chapter 52
Milo's POV'¿Viva La Gloria?' Played as I awoke within the void once more, this place never got any more admirable, but the cold was all I knew at this point and as such, I learned to call it home. I started singing the lyrics to the tune and let the words wash over me, reminding me of how I had gotten here, Glory was out there waiting for me and this cold would never stop me no matter how debilitating."RUN AWAYY, FROM THE RIVER TO THE STREET, and find yourself with your face in the gutter," I sang, dancing within the sanctity of the void, knowing no one could see me like this. I may look like an idiot dancing in the dark, but I was comfortable here, even if she wasn't here I would never give up on her. If there was one lesson I learned from my family, true love waits for no one, she wouldn't wait for me and I wouldn't wait for her and if I had to break this great shroud to find her I would. Time and Time again, I had won this duel of will and found innocent, my intentions for her we
The Criminal's Alpha Chapter 53
Jack's POVI would be lying if I said I wasn't anxious for what was to come, I mean Jake not even a couple of hours ago was finally claimed, and yet our war was far from over. Alex and Jake said goodnight after cuddling for what seemed like years, but in reality, was just a couple of hours, and we got back in our truck before heading back home. We stopped by a gas station and picked up a couple of sodas, then as we got back in the car I started to bring Jake up to speed on the news from Lucy."So, Milo and Gloria, got out and are now in the wider world? What do we need to do then?""Lucifer's orders were to find and guide them, to have them join our family so that they don't just spontaneously destroy everything, Milo was stuck in the void for almost as long as I was before I met you. Lucifer fears that if we don't give them structure, something to believe in, a cause worth fighting for then they'll destroy everything in their path; I don't know about you, but I'm not willing to take

Alex's POVI normally didn't listen to music when I was working, but Jake had let me know that he was working on something important to do with family, so I thought I'd give music a shot. He sent me a link to his mix on YouTube, so I plugged my headphones in and let the music drown out the sounds of my pack to try and see if I could feel how he does, and never did I expect what happened. The song "Make Waves" made me feel like I was unstoppable, and I went from job to job around the pack with an almost unnatural level of motivation. It honestly felt like Jack had said 'Hey, You feeling down? We can't have that' and shot me forward with a newfound love for my family. Pack members saw me going around as fast as I could, but couldn't get my attention, it was tunnel vision but I loved it. As the song neared its end I finished taking stock of the food we had in the kitchens and made a list of things we needed for some of my Gammas to pick up.Alexis' POVI'm going to be brutally honest her

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

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

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
