The Criminal's Alpha Chapter 54
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 POVBefore getting back in the car, Jake gave Milo the link to his music mix on YouTube just in case they wanted to listen to our kind of music, and then we fused and hit the road heading for home. They followed us surprisingly well, but we weren't too worried, one way or another we knew they'd be safe with us; As we continued down the road, we sent a message out to Jade and Derick to head back home, and that we had found Milo and Gloria and were heading home ourselves. 'Open Your Eyes' started playing on the radio, and we got a bad feeling, something had gone down and we were starting to get worried about it. Jake sent a message to Alex, "Make some time, and meet us at home, something's gone down and we don't like it. Not one bit," before I floored the gas and signaled to Milo to floor it too; We couldn't afford to get separated, it wasn't something we could afford to lose here, we opened a portal on the road to speed up and after they got in we closed it behind us as we arri

Alex's POVTo be frank, I have never seen this side of Jake, I was so used to the joyful innocent boy I loved I had completely forgotten how scary he can be when someone is threatening his family; Yet, I only felt pride and pleasure, knowing that he was mine and mine alone. If this bitch wanted what was mine, she'd have to rip him away from my cold dead hands, and rip my teeth out of his throat, because I had marked him as mine; He was my gift from the Moon Goddess, lady of the night, and I swore I would never let someone take him away from me. This Bruja was staring him down like he was nothing more than a snack to eat, and no matter what I was going to shut her ass down, but Jack got me to look at him and shook his head.'This isn't your fight, let us handle this, for now, you'll have your chance. I promise.' He told me, and I would listen to him for now, but I would never be prepared for what I was about to see. As the Bruja continued speaking to Jake, saying things that sent river

Jacke's POVAs we walked back towards the rubble, everyone seemed uneasy, it wasn't shocking, however; They had never truly met Jameson, nor Damien, my brothers of old brought back from ruination. We walked towards the rubble, Damien raising his right hand and bowing as a sign of goodwill and respect before continuing with us. We got to the rubble and if it weren't for the fact that this wasn't the first time that had happened, I might have broken down then and there. This was our home, our base of operations, but above all else, it was where Jake and I fell when we were sent here the first time. Jake's Coffin lied deep within the earth here, and we swore no matter how many times our home was destroyed, we would build it back stronger than before; There was a feeling of dread in the air as if all was lost, and nothing would matter anymore. Our family needed a reminder of why this place held so much importance to us, so Jake took a second and gave a brief but thorough speech."Nicki, d

Jacke's POVWith Jameson and Damien at my back, we got in the truck with my phone plugged in and the music blaring. "Lightbringer" was playing as I sang along my brothers were just letting the song play, and feeling how the music made them feel, the emotions that the music evoked; Jameson was burning brighter, and Damien seemed to be in a peaceful trance, blissful yet fully aware of his surroundings, but that was Damien for you. We drove towards San Antonio, keeping an eye out for the church Lady Muerte mentioned, and at the edge of town, there it stood. Towering above the rest of the buildings around it, it riled Jameson up and Damien had to place his hand on J's shoulder to stop him from exploding then and there. They weren't to go in, this was my task and mine alone. I stopped the truck across from the church and closed the door before heading inside, the air was cold, and the only person inside that I could see was an elder priest standing at the podium reading the Bible. He looke

Alex's POVTo say that my Pack was surprised by what I had said when I got back would be a massive understatement, essentially I had told them that we were going to pack up everything we could and move somewhere else. I brought up that Jacke had offered us trucks to move our stuff in, and if we needed protection we'd have anything we needed as this wasn't going to be a one-day deal, this would take a while, so of course, they were concerned."Alpha, we would never openly question your judgment, you've never led us astray before; But why are we doing this when Home is here?""Home is wherever we settle, for a long time, Home has been here because that's where our forefathers built this place. You don't see me asking you to destroy this place, do you? No, I'm simply asking that you all follow my orders, deconstructing the Home to be rebuilt somewhere else. Where Jacke lives was recently attacked and burned to the ground, it was destroyed and left to ruin, so instead of letting my mate s

Jacke's POVI woke up at the crack of dawn, the blue, red, and violet shades always threw me back at their beauty, but I didn't have much time to revel in that as we got a call, from the one and only, Dutch."Morning, Sleeping Beauty, just thought I'd call in to let you know we've got as many trucks as we've got over here heading for the location you sent me. I also took the liberty of calling your Mate and letting her know that she's got resources heading her way. To be precise, as always: 50 trucks, with 25 people in each, armed to the teeth and ready. Another 25 with no arms, they're only there to do the heavy lifting and get shit moving. These are, of course, our exclusive 30' trucks, and the boys are ready to work: They also have been informed of this "Bonus" you mentioned, and they all got excited, so I'd say you can consider this project of yours done in a matter of days," Dutch said, and I had to hold my laughter back, this man always knew how to deliver the goods."Good to he

Jacke's POV"Do you remember the story of Kronos and his Sickle?""I do, but I'm sure you'll remind me anyhow.""After Uranus had cast Gaia's children, the hundred-handed ones and the cyclopses, to Tartarus so they would never see the light of day again; Gaia, understandably, wasn't too happy about that. So, Gaia created what was known as a 'Great Stone Sickle', and her son, Cronos, castrated his father. Hence, he called them 'Titenes' or Titans, for committing such an act. He saw it as them overstepping their bounds, and thus, 'Cronos' Scythe' came to be. I don't think it was mere chance that you were drawn to this weapon, you desire to slay your old flame, the Bruja, so you may live peacefully with your new family. This weapon will ensure your success in that regard, but a word of warning, from the Spiderman movies: With great power, comes great responsibility," She said as she handed the scythe to me, almost instantaneously, the weapon shifted and changed in response to my being, "

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

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

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
