AlexaThe raft bobs on the water swaying back and forth. I huddle deeper into myself as the wind grows colder and the skies open up. Rain drenches me in seconds and I silently curse my luck. The minutes slowly pass as I wait. And wait. And wait. I'm surrounded by total darkness and water on all sides. Ryder and the others hate the plan, but the rules are clear. I have to do this on my own. They were allowed to help me plan and get everything I need to pull it off but aren't allowed to aid me in the heist.The Pride, a rival pack that resides in Queens cove only a twenty-minute drive from here, set fire to the Packs shipment about a week ago. It caused a lot of trouble for the gang and whoever it is Mr. Rux is working with got pissed off. They even threatened to take their business elsewhere.So, here I am, on a tiny raft in the middle of nowhere waiting for the container ship that carries a load of drugs from the Packs business partners rivals to the Pride. My job is to get on the boa
ShadeA series of thumps echo across the sea as our boots hit the deck. My eyes instantly find her. As if there's a beacon in my heart that seeks her out at all times. She's leaning against the railing outside of the control room. The white bikini seems to glow in the dark. The deck is lit up enough for me to see the gun dangling from her hand and the bloody freckles painting her bare skin. My cock jumps to attention at the sight. Images of her pressed against the glass, her legs wrapped around my hips as I slam-"Check the cargo, we'll go see what this gift is." Ryder orders Dylan and the other guys we brought with us snapping me out of my thoughts. Our most trusted group of betas head off with Dylan at the rear guns out just in case.Jem and I stalk after Ryder who takes the stairs two steps at a time. Hunter follows behind unhurriedly doing a damn good job of seeming as if he doesn't care if Lexie's okay or not. I see it, though. The tension around his eyes, the tic in his jaw and
HunterA sharp pain shoots up my arm as a bullet graze it. It probably would've hurt a lot more if my entire body wasn't aching. We need to get this situation under control right now. With my back to the upside-down vehicle, I search for better cover as Shade crawls out the broken window after Jem. Aside from a few cuts and bruises we all seem to be in one piece. Alex however... she wasn't wearing her fucking seatbelt. She wasn't in the car when we came to a stop which means-We need to find her, but we need to be alive to do that. Cover then a vantage point so we can get our eyes on her. Ryder's somehow got a phone in his hand. The screen is cracked and he swears when the screen doesn't light up. He tries again. And again. And again. Finally, it comes to life and Ry puts it to his ear after dialling."There." I point to a building across from the vehicles front. If Jem can get to the roof, he can pick our assaulters of with his gun and get eyes on Alex. Checking how many bullets I ha
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
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
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
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
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
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
