The Lycan's Acquisition Chapter Thirty-Nine - Spinning A Yarn
Adam’s POVJane had disappeared. I couldn’t believe it at first. Then I accused my sister of spiriting her away.“Not guilty,” she protested. “Our feelings weren’t mutual. I just felt so sorry for her.”“Did you know she’d murdered Clare?” Erica’s face told me everything. “Could Brandon have taken her?”“It’s possible. What are you going to do?”“Nothing yet. I have more important things to accomplish.”She looked as if she wanted to say something but didn’t like to open a time-consuming can of worms. Doctors hate wars though it keeps them busy.I chose not to bother Mom with a phone call. It was random anyway and she had a way of detecting if something was the matter with me. I knew she had enough to deal with without learning that my sister-in-law was a fledgling vampire. Or whatever they called them.And Theresa was a creature of nerves without the comforting presence of Rose. Her past coming to the fore again.So I sought out Timo, finding him just exiting the harem room. He had t

Adam’s POVThe auctioneer, Boris, was as obsequious as ever and even pretended to exclaim about the quality of the merchandise. Yet the Alphas and their representatives seemed surprised to see me. Rather than withdrawing, they began a defiant murmuring.I would teach them. Maybe this had been a mistake, turning up in person.Alpha Lewis was conspicuous by his absence yet his females were up for grabs. They soon sold, being verified untouched unlike Maggie and Chloe.I began to think nobody would make a bid. Did they assume this would only help me to wage war on them? Then a gradual showing of hands led to the smiles fading on those ruby lips.“We want to see flesh!” someone cried.Not wanting to stick around for that I decided the time was right to seek fresh air. That was when I overhead the familiar gruff voice of Alpha Horace.“Well, I wasn’t expecting the Lycan King to turn up today. Do you reckon he cancelled the poker challenge?”“No takers, I assume,” his companion replied.“I

Rose’s POVI hadn’t been far wrong when I assumed Simone would blame me for what Adam had put her through. And she had the temerity to bad mouth Willow, saying she was a little whore who had led her husband astray.Trying not to think about there being more than one of them, because surely Alpha Lewis hadn’t passed up the opportunity to take her virginity, I was astounded when she claimed I was trouble.“I sensed that from the first,” she said, hostility seeping from every pore.That had to be bad for her pups.“What should I do with her, sis?”“Fuck her senseless and incarcerate her, Lew.”I wasn’t expecting that. Tensely, I waited.“I think you have that the wrong way round,” he smirked. “You marinate meat before you taste it. Besides, it will give Con the traitor something to look at if I place her in the cell opposite.”“Naked?”It was Alpha Karl who spoke, wetting his lips in a way I didn’t care for.“And let this designer lingerie go to waste?”“She can wear it till she rots for

Rose’s POVI closed my eyes, not wanting to see Alpha Karl watching us. The implications were overwhelming. And my sister was untried. At least, she had been.Ivy wasn’t present. That wouldn’t have been too bad. Except maybe she’d been there when they ruined – almost ruined, I had to admit – Lolo.She liked Adam’s mom. I’d phoned her from the highway, not wanting her to worry, and received the shock of my life.Michaela. I hoped she wouldn’t judge me too harshly for what I was about to endure – and share – with her son.Legend had it there was once a she-wolf who brought a wasting disease to those who bedded her. If only it were that simple …“You’re so tight, Rosie. Who would have thought it?”He was making my skin crawl. Olga had retreated the second he pulled at my nipples in what this jerk of an Alpha seemed to believe was sufficient foreplay. I only hoped it would be over quickly and that he would be possessive and only let his brother-in-law look at the mess he’d made of me rath

Adam’s POVJane had a way of eluding you and then turning up unexpectedly. I didn’t think a female would be behind my abduction, no matter how crazy she was.“Why?” I demanded.“Because you chose her instead of me.”“Theresa?”“Guess again, Lycan King.”“Rose?”“Clare!”“Are you really undead?”Maybe it was a stupid question but I had to know for sure. When she showed me her fangs it still didn’t help. They could just be elongated canines.“It’s not quite a full transformation,” she admitted.“So you can be killed? And not just with a sharpened stake.”Riling her wasn’t a good idea.“Seth should have used more force,” she said.“Did you deliberately try and turn Timo?”She shrugged. “It was an experiment. Who knows if it will work.”“What happens now? You’ve made your point. Putting one over on me.”When she said, “That depends on Brandon,” my heart sank.“Does he want to rule?”“He’ll do what I tell him,” she snarled.I realised then just how deluded she was.“Release me and I’ll con

Adam’s POV“He’s let me down, curse him.”I winced at her poor choice of word. Yet hadn’t I been breaking mine recently given the way I felt about Rose?“What did you expect, Jane?”“I don’t mean your precious half-brother,” she sneered.“Then who?”“Marcus.”I couldn’t take it in at first. Though they had been part of the same circles for ages.Was she still messing with my head?“You’re lying.”“I asked him to keep her safe.”“Who?”“‘Chains’ was as good a place as any to hide her.”“But he came to the auction instead,” I guessed, trying to be the voice in her head.She glared at me. “He asked Trevor to watch over her. Said he’d only be a couple hours. Instead he took himself a bitch and got wasted.”That didn’t sound like my long time friend. But he had been without a stable relationship much like me. In his case she’d rejected him.Those things could send you crazy.I wondered what Jane’s excuse was. In her case things were always more complicated.“Did you mean it when you threat
Last Updated : 2023-05-26The Lycan's Acquisition Chapter Forty-Five - This Isn't Fair
Rose’s POVI didn’t care for the look on Adam’s face and remained silent for most of the journey. This wasn’t the reunion I’d hoped for. Where was the tenderness, the enquiry as to my well-being? I suspected his mind had been poisoned against me.It was unbearable.Then, just as I was thinking he would never open his mouth, his first words showed me what I was up against.“Tell me about Alpha Sven.”“There’s nothing to tell.”“Don’t lie to me, Rose. Not now.”I knew I had to be totally honest with him.“Adam … I was supposed to dish the dirt after sleeping with him. Alpha Lewis also hoped it would lead you to me, distracting you from the war you’re waging. But I couldn’t bring myself to be unfaithful so I spiked his drink. That was when I learned that Connor was planning a rebellion. He picked me up and drove me back and – ”“You were his pawn, correct?”“Reluctantly,” I said.“And now you’re with pup I hear. Did Alpha Lewis force you to become his surrogate?”I couldn’t believe what
Last Updated : 2023-05-27The Lycan's Acquisition Chapter Forty-Six - Mates
Adam’s POV I went through the motions of being angry but all I could think about was that Rose was mine once more. We needed to clear the air and did that all right. I was hoping her presence would lead Mom to change her mind about this particular mate of mine. At least she didn’t want me to take Clare back. I’d learned without much surprise she was a regular performer at ‘Chains’, just not when I happened to visit, and was half way through a submissive contract with one of the VIPs. That was so typical of her and also slightly unusual in that it wasn’t a sexual relationship. I’d reprimanded Seth for being a part of my incarceration though indicated I understood his reasons. Otherwise he was a competent bodyguard and I had no desire to change that. I wanted familiar faces around me and was relying heavily on Niall now that Timo was temporarily out of commission. Brandon was on my mind a lot yet I shelved my concerns for the sake of negotiating with Reed, now Alpha Connor. I assumed

The Lycan's Acquisition Chapter Sixty-Five - Looking Forward
Rose’s POVTimo backed me up.“She’s right, my king.”“As always. I’ll see to it.”I calmed down after that, making arrangements in my head. Lolo was in my thoughts but my priorities were here.“Put Connor next to Simone. As for that – thing, I want his remains as far away as possible.”I couldn’t help the bitterness after the damage he’d done to my sister.“Noted. Anything else, Rose?”I was grateful he wasn’t grinning otherwise I would have lost it in front of everyone and pummelling the Lycan King’s chest is a good way to get a girl killed.“Let me tell my sister when they return. I don’t want to spoil things.”“Does she know about Brandon?”I shook my head. “She will be disappointed he’s staying put. Have you heard anything about her, this sorceress?”Everyone was looking at me as if I’d lost my mind. I was usually so respectful in company.“Only her name. Hyacinth. You have something in common,” he pointed out.“Adam, what are you trying to say?”He didn’t answer and I worked it
The Lycan's Acquisition Chapter Sixty-Four - Sons
Adam’s POVRose wasn’t in labour long. I thought I heard her murmur, “Sam,” before her eyes closed.I couldn’t decide who was more proud, Erica or me. My sister was back on her feet again and assured me the delivery had gone fine. Mom looked in as well, briefly. She was constantly tired these days, some of her spirit having left with the giving of so many pints of blood.George had examined her and informed me she just needed time to recover. The mage had been threatened by my half-brother so this untypical weakness wasn’t down to either of them.I named the eldest one Zak. He would be my heir. It was too early to tell if they would be light haired and that didn’t bother me any more.Alpha Horace of all people sent his congratulations. He made no mention of a treaty and nor did I.The border guards patrolled regularly and reported back there were no breaches. A poacher intruded once but they sent him to his Maker, the human God and feasted on the rabbits he’d snared.I wasn’t pleased
The Lycan's Acquisition Chapter Sixty-Three - The Rogue Threat
Willow’s POVWe had a traitor in our midst. It vexed me I didn’t have a clue who it was. Robert also looked shamefaced as if it was all his fault that intruders were trashing the place. Yet he’d stayed behind to do an almost impossible job prior to joining the Lycan pack. They’d been contained in one area but there were others barrelling in and we didn’t have the numbers to deal with them all. Or so I thought.I wanted to ask him about Sarah but didn’t like and now wasn’t either the time or the place.As it turned out, Lucy had been seeing a rogue on the sly. I couldn’t believe it at first; it was Nat who told me. By a strange coincidence it wasn’t Dean, Nathan or Benny but Felipe. What were the chances of me knowing him? I reckoned he was the best of a bad bunch. These loners sought allies and dropped them as easily as feral cats mated and moved on.Alvarez had allegedly murdered our father. I knew I wasn’t brave enough to seek revenge just yet, but maybe my mate would help.Then I b
The Lycan's Acquisition Chapter Sixty-Two - Red Riding
Willow’s POVIt was good to see Natalie again, though Joan had a worried frown on her face.“Don’t be scared,” I said. “The Lycan King’s not all bad.”Hearing a cough behind me, I went on to introduce Niall. I made it quite clear we were to be mated just in case Nat was getting any ideas.“I’m here to oversee the packing up and transporting of goods and chattels.”“What he means is – ”“We have a new master. Can’t say I’m sorry.”“But what’s to become of this place?” Joan fretted.Niall shrugged. “A tourist attraction, maybe a hotel. Is there somewhere we can freshen up?”“Of course. I’ll organise some food for everyone. How many men have you brought with you?”That was the housekeeper, ever practical.My mate took it the wrong way. “That’s need to know.”I hated the look of fright on the older woman’s face.“Joan’s only trying to help. She’s not the enemy,” I said.“Good job you’re here or I’d probably get on the wrong side of everyone,” he muttered. “Apologies, she-wolf. Understanda
The Lycan's Acquisition Chapter Sixty-One - One Last Attempt
Rose’s POV It was no use pleading with Adam. He was determined Alpha Connor should pay for his treachery and criminal lack of leadership qualities. “He can’t come back here, though I will find a place for Robert.” He grinned. “It will be nice to have more Omega she-wolves beneath me.” “Not literally, I hope.” I winced and touched my stomach but the pain soon went away. “When will Brandon be back?” My mate shrugged. “Who knows? I’m not an expert when it comes to dealing with an unscrupulous mage.” “Lolo’s missing him. They built up quite a rapport.” He took my hand and kissed it. “I’ll always be grateful to your sister for giving up her precious blood.” “But we still haven’t had that war. I mean, it was more of a bloodless takeover.” “Thankfully,” he said. I couldn’t believe the warmonger had just said that. I felt compelled to test him. “Do you think Alpha Horace has delusions of grandeur? I mean, historically, there used to be a King of Alphas. Once the notion’s in his head
The Lycan's Acquisition Chapter Sixty - Rescue Comes At A Price
Willow’s POVWhere did it all go wrong? When I saw Alpha Lewis’ face at the window or was it because I didn’t immediately say so to the Lycan?The bloodsuckers were out in numbers, up for a feeding frenzy, and the blonde woman I’d seen before was among them.“Jason will be pleased,” she said, flexing her fingers.I cringed to see the elongated nails, painted green.“How did you get in?” I blurted.“One of my little friends invited me,” she gushed. “Now, all you have to do is submit to your Alpha. Beckon him, or I’ll slit this one’s throat.”“No!” I shrieked.“Don’t do it, Lolo.”Niall looked so determined, so heroic I almost swooned.Jane removed the knife from his neck and pierced his skin with a fingernail.“So fresh,” she purred.“Run, girl!”I wanted to stay and watch the fight but for some reason I felt compelled to obey him. Mom had often told us your true mate would condition you to follow his lead. Had I found him? Alyssa was in no state to know. And it may be different with a
The Lycan's Acquisition Chapter Fifty-Nine - Making Plans
Adam’s POVSomething must be done about Hodges. I wouldn’t put it past him to welcome back the hybrid Alpha Lewis and declare himself his second. That wasn’t on.I knew Rose couldn’t understand why I was treating Reed so well. Women and warcraft didn’t mix, though Lycan females could make good warriors.She would never be alone with him but I did permit a catch up during which she learned that her sister was improving daily before she was abducted.And now, apparently, she had been rescued yet again. I really hoped Trevor was behaving himself around her, though suspected Niall would keep him in line.The positive thing was that we had another medic at last. It may not even be temporary which would mean Red Riding were vulnerable if and when there were casualties. I’d once tasked Rose with helping to avoid more bloodshed; now I was minded to teach this pack a lesson.Was there no loyalty among its so-called leaders? What an example to set.George had already informed me that the virus
The Lycan's Acquisition Chapter Fifty-Eight - Renewed Hope
Rose’s POVI couldn’t understand what all the fuss was about. I’d only ventured to the kitchen for a glass of water. Michaela was nowhere to be seen. I wouldn’t have known what to say to her anyway.Without his mark I felt incomplete.Adam’s relief on seeing me soon turned to the inevitable anger.“I told you to stay put, woman.”“And if I had this apparition might have taken me.”He’d been telling me how the mysterious visitor had simply vanished. Could there be a new threat in the form of a vengeful witch? I doubted it. But maybe Alpha Lewis had inherited some of Brandon’s magical qualities.If so, he needed taking down once and for all.Poor Seth came in for a roasting but anyone would have fallen for it. And Adam himself had taken the bait.Marcus had news for us as we ate later. It seemed Alpha Connor was acting strangely, his cousin’s cruel side coming to the fore in him. Rumours were rife that Alpha Horace was about to step in.He said he’d already informed Erica who was going
The Lycan's Acquisition Chapter Fifty-Seven - Concealment
Adam’s POVI was rapidly losing patience.“To do what? Is this a hoax?”Rose’s hand on my arm told me I’d been shouting. The silk shirt felt strange against my muscles and I’d only consented to wear it for her. And because Erica insisted.Mom was right to stay out of it.“Who’s here, Seth?” my queen asked.“Someone who says he used to be a Gamma.”“Hodges.”We said the name at the same time. Yet I couldn’t help thinking Niall was my third.Had he deserted us, too? Was he here on behalf of another, his new master perhaps?“Wait a few minutes. If I’m not back after that, sound the alarm for lockdown.”“Yes, my king.”“Adam, I’m coming with you.”“Don’t be difficult, Rose. Tell her, Mom.”But my mother just shrugged and said something about making tea.“At least take your bodyguard,” my mate pleaded.By the time I’d followed her advice it was too late. The cloaked figure – that was how Seth had described him – had vanished and when we dashed back to the chamber, my Omega queen was gone,
