AlexaTwo thoughts circle each other in my head. Fighting the other to take up the most space. To get to the forefront of my mind.1. Gregorio Gild is alive.2. I'm going to kill the guys.Jeremy's arm snakes around my middle drawing me flush against him. Keeping me from escaping. There's really no need. This place is full of wolves. If I tried to run I wouldn't get very far. Part of me is warm and limber from Jem's words. It would be so easy to sink into him. But the other part of me is furious. That part is very much aware of Jeremy's charm and is screaming at me not to trust him, punch them all, take my chances and run.Ryder's face is cold and determined as he turns toward us. With swift steps he approaches and takes me from Jeremy. As he bends slightly to throw me over his shoulder, I let my rage and desperation fuel me. My knee comes up and slams into Ryder's ribcage. He doesn't even grunt. Blinking I'm hanging upside down slamming my fists into Ryder's muscled back trying to do
AlexaI have to say, it's a damn good tattoo. The artist did a great job and if the circumstances were different I'd be thanking him. Since they aren't all I do is scowl. He wraps my arm and goes on about how to take care of the tattoo. Since this isn't my first rodeo I zone out. I feel like a cow who's ears been marked so people can know who to return them too if they run away. They've branded me as theirs. Looking down at the ink, my urge to find the treasure and leave grows stronger. This tattoo will serve as a reminder for what they did and have now done to me. Each time my heart softens toward them, this will harden it once more. I will get my revenge, but first I have to survive long enough to.I will use them. Their protection and their home. Until I find the treasure, I'll play the game by their rules whilst playing my own. I start making a list in my head.1. Gain their trust.2. Find the treasure.3. Keep your head down.4. Keep an eye out for Undead men.I'll have to be met
RyderWith a shriek that can shatter eardrums Bethany flings herself at Alex. Blood sprouts from Beths face. Alex's near damn perfect jab broke it. We heard the crack from here. Alex lets the crazy woman tackle her to the ground. To be honest, this fight has been a long time coming. Any time Bethany came after Alex when we were kids she did so with her friends in tow. She never dared fight my girl one on one. Seeing them now, I can understand why.Beths arms and legs flail around aimlessly just hoping to land a hit. Every hit from Alex is purposeful. It isn't difficult for her to throw Bethany off and climb on top of her. Beths nails find purchase on Alexs's face. My little troublemaker doesn't even flinch as the five fake nails, that look more like claws, break through skin. Alex grabs Bethany's arm and twists."Get off of me you crazy bitch!" Bethany screams as her free hand grabs onto Alex's hair and pulls. My girl honest to God growls and my dick jumps in my sweatpants."This is t

My butt hurts. I've been sitting on this wooden bench all morning watching Hunter and Shade workout with their clients. When that gets boring I people watch. A lot of people come and go in the gym in spite of it being a work day. Since I was forced out of the house this morning and ordered to come with Shade and Hunter to work I didn't have time to pack a book or something else to keep me occupied. I might die of boredom.My plans to stay in bed all day and sulk were quickly interrupted. I'd barricaded myself from Shade with a bunch of pillows last night. He kindly stayed on his side the entire night, but went back to his asshole ways in the morning when he without warning pulled up the blinds jolting me out of a very nice dream. I'd burrowed into my pillow and dragged the duvet over my head in an effort to go back to sleep. It wasn't long before Ryder showed up to pull the duvet off me and hand me some clothes before ushering me out of the room and down the stairs. Pushing a sandwich
Simultaneously, we all (except for Ryder) shout "surprise!" which was my idea. Lexie stands frozen in place. Her face a mixture of confusion and shock. As Maddie rushes forward with her arms spread ready for a hug, a smile tugs on the corner of Lexie's mouth.Hunter who stormed onto the deck moments ago looking furious, snatches a beer from the cooler that replaced the bar. He twists the cap off angrily and proceeds to gulp it down before slamming it down on the table. Jasmine and Bella discreetly take a couple of steps away from him. Callie however scowls at the pissed off alpha, her eyes silently reprimanding him for raining on Lexie's surprise."What's going on?" Lexie asks Maddie in a hushed voice as the red head drags her toward the other girls who each takes a turn hugging her. In between hugs I notice how her gaze lingers on Ryders glistening bare chest. My heart skips a beat when her gaze travels down mine as well. Catching herself she blinks rapidly and turns her attention ba
"The whole "we're only here to serve" thing quickly went out the window. Instead of being irritated with Maddie for inviting them to play with us, I decide to use it to my advantage." "Maddie picks up a card as the dice rolls across the table landing with four dots facing up. "What's something you're glad your mom doesn't know about you?"""Jem taps a finger against his lips thinking it over. It's safe to say there's more than one thing he's happy to keep a secret from his parent. "Probably the pierced dick." He says with a shrug making me choke on my daiquiri sending me into a coughing fit. Maddie claps me on the back and I push back the tears that come with the sudden choking""Maddie's smug smile is the only warning I get before she inquiries "what kind of piercings?" probably on my behalf. Not that I want to know. Nope. I am not at all curious about Jeremys pierced cock." "Jem's satisfied expression tells me he knows exactly what I'm thinking and I can't help but glance down tow
"Turns out, Jeremy has something called an ampallang and a pubic piercing. When Maddie asked what they looked like and Bella thought he should show us Callie and I came up with the brilliant idea to google it. With the help of Callie's phone we've, through animated photos of thirteen types of penis piercings, gotten an idea of what Jems pierced dick looks like.""We're discussing which piercing would be the most pleasing for the opposite sex while looking at the drawings when Jasmine says, "I don't know about dick piercings, probably because I'm not into people with dicks, but tongue piercings... mind blowing!" She places both of her fists next to her head and spreads her fingers out mimicking an explosion.""Bella smiles cheekily at us as her tongue darts out to show the metal ball resting on the pink flesh. She moves it around giving glimpses of the bar disappearing through the tongue and the metal ball underneath matching the one above. "It's a lot of fun for everyone involved." He
Alexa "Give me a smile, gorgeous, and I'll let you in. The bouncer to the lion's roar grins proudly at me. His eyes travel up and down my body, lingering on my chest. Widening my stance and bending my knees lightly i glare up at the large man. "How about! Just let myself in?" crack. The heel of my palm connects with the underside of his nose: continue the movement up into his face, forcing him to bend backwards and expose his throat to me. The gun is cool and heavy in my hand as I press the barrel beneath his chin. "Still want that smile?" I raise my brows at the bouncer as he glowers at me. My eyes drop to the door expectantly and with a huff pif initation he fumbles for the handle. I'm not sure his ego will survive being overpowered by a woman half his size. Honestly, men are so stupid. Will they never learn not to underestimate women? One of these days it will be their downfall. Seems that day has come early for the Pride's bouncer. "Hurry up, I haven't got all day." I tut at hi
Shade "You lost her? You fucking lost her?" Ryder screams in the man's face. Ten minutes ago, we got a call from the guys watching one of the roads out of kings cove saying a blonde on a motorcycle got through and shot at them. "Sorry, boss" Vincent lowers his head, shoulders slumping forward "Sorry? You're fucking sorry? Oh, well then, that's alright." Sarcasm drips from Ry's words making the men flinch. "I don't want your fucking sorrys, I want her back here!" "Ry," Jem says carefully knowing full well he's not in the man's good graces at the moment, "we know where she's headed. It's more than we had fifteen minutes ago Ryder turns his back on Jeremy freezing him out. It's not Jems fault she ran but he did let her out of his sights knowing she's a flight risk. So, Ryder's giving him the silent treatment which is far worse than being yelled at by him. After By yells and throws a punch or two, he forgives and moves on. When he doesn't... that anger festers and turns into something
AlexaMy what now? A warm hand covers mine as old lady Ravens wait patiently for my mind to reconnect with my body. Mouth hanging open I sit frozen staring unseeingly ahead as I try to wrap my mind around this new information. "How-why did how do how do you know?" i stutter while slipping my hand out from beneath hers. Hurt flashes across her face before she pushes it away. Not wanting to be touched or comforted right now I get to my feet and start pacing. "It's a long story," she sighs deeply shaking her head. "I've got time." I snap back frustrated with everything. The answers are so close and if she deffects or straight up refuses to tell me, then screw her age il punch the old woman. My grandmother. "Of course," she shifts in her seat getting more comfortable as she settles in to tell me everything. "Amerie didn't live here, as a child she did but when she got older, we sent her to my brother who lived closer to better schools. When she turned eighteen, she came back here. She
Ryder "What do you mean she's fucking gone?" I bite out through clenched teeth. Trying my hardest not to smash everything in dad's apartment to pieces: Michael, one of Alex's guards, quickly breathes out how she played them and took the first opportunity to run. Somehow evading them. I'm going to fucking kill Jem. He wasn't supposed to let her out of his sights, but because he's gotten into her bed, she pulled his strings. Played him like a guitar. And now, she's out there alone and unprotected when not only Sebastian Gild knows where she is and is coming for her but for some reason unknown to us the Pride is after her too. Running a hand through my hair I pace the length of the room. Back and forth, as dad, Sonya and the other highly ranked betas watch, "Keep looking. Call Jeremy and let him know, I'll deal with the rest"With that I hang up resisting the urge to throw my phone across the room. Taking a deep breath, I slowly turn my eyes on the betas. "Send everyone out, and I mea
Alexa"This is ridiculous" I grumble to myself glancing over at the two Pack members flanking me at the bar. There's another two outside the building and two on the root, I don't know what happened last night after we came home and I went upstairs to shower but today the guys were all tense and moodier than usual. They've also upped the security around the house and me. I can't even take a piss without someone following me into the bathroom to check all the stalls before I get to enter one. And they don't leave after that either, Neco They stand outside and wait. I've asked about a thousand times already but no one will tell me what's going on. I'm thinking it either has something to do with the Pride or Sebastian. Even though I'm mad about the bodyguards, lack of privacy and answers I think I'm grumpier about the fact that Jem didn't join me last night. Also got my period this morning so it may or may not have something to do with the swings in my mood. There's no way I'm getting
Ryder Two days with no food and constant beatings hasn't broken the lion. Hunter hasn't managed to get any answers from the Pride member and neither have I. His loyalty just got him killed. Leaving the pups to dump him in shark infested waters a pissed off Hunt and head back home Shade's on his stomach on the floor rolling a jinging ball to the horrid little creature Alex is so fond of One look at our expressions tells him that we got nothing. Again, What the fuck does the Pride want with her? If they wanted to use her to hurt us, they'd have put a bullet between her eyes. They know there's no way we'd give up our turf because of a girl. Even if that girl is Alex "They're not back?" I ask snatching a slice of pizza off the living room table. Shade shakes his head as Draco sinks his little teeth into his hand which currently covers his toy, "What're we going to do? We need to hit them back." Shade hums and Hunter grunts in response. My pocket vibrates with a text message at the sa
Jeremy "You're playing a dangerous game, sunshine." I murmur in her ear, my lips brushing the shell of it. She shivers and my body hums with satisfaction. Her face turns toward me putting our lips a hairsbreadth apart. "You started this game, I'm simply finishing it." Blinking innocently at me she strokes my cock through my pants. The thing is, I know I started it and no way in hell am I taking my hand out from between her legs, but I might blow my load in my pants in the middle of this restaurant. I feel like that young boy who saw Lexie in a bikini for the first time since her breast had grown. I had a love hate relationship with our close friendship. Loving that she felt comfortable enough to whine about her boobs growing, bras, her period etc. Hate that she talked to me about her boobs. For a young boy starting to come into his teenage years it wasn't easy. Although her dick punching us if we stared at her chest or ass for too long kind of helped. Lexie stops a waiter walkin
AlexaI'm lying on a cloud. Surrounded by a cloud of fluffy, soft, hard warmth. Hard? Wait, what? Forcing my eyes open I groggily look up to find Jeremy sitting next to me on the bed with a phone in hand.He's been doing this a lot lately. Because of my injuries the guys decided that they should alternate sleeping in my room instead of me alternating between their rooms. To be honest, I'm just happy to be back in bed heaven. Whenever it's not Jem's night I still wake up to find him awake somewhere in this room. I've never woken up by it, but I assume he sneaks in at night. Ryder and Shade don't seem to mind it and Hunter can't stand to be alone in the same room as me let alone the same bed. "I just googled what chickens without feathers look like and I am severely disturbed." Jeremy mutters without taking his eyes off the screen. Then he turns it my way. "Look!" Oh. My. God. "What the fuck is that?" I grumble turning my head away to avoid looking at the horrid creatures. "Featherle
AlexaThe world blurs and tips on the side. My head hurts. Everything hurts. I pull in a shaky breath and my chest burns with the action."Hey, you're okay. Hold on a little longer, sunshine, we're almost there." Someone soothes in a low voice close to my ear.Almost where? I mean to ask but it comes out as choked nonsense. Car. I think I'm in a car. I was in a car, fighting with Ryder and then... nothing. Everything's dark after that. There was shouting, a big noise and darkness. Shade. Holy shit, Shade was shot. "Where is he? Where's Shade? Is he okay?" Once again, all that comes out is "mmnyeheshmn"."Dylan!" Someone barks somewhere above my head. The seat I'm in is warm and... moving. I'm sitting on a person, my side pressed to their front. Their chest rises and falls with each breath and it feels laboured."Almost there." Dylan answers before turning sharply. My body slides to the right but before I can topple over hands are there keeping me steady. They're gentle but pain still
