Tryst Of Fate: Caught Between The Alpha And Beta Ch. 75 Blackmail
Kyle I’m in over my head. I think I’ve known that for a while but my latest encounter with Alpha Xavier abolished any lingering question. He’s going to have Glass Lake at any cost and he’s going to use Olivia to do it. I thought I could manipulate him into letting me keep her as long as she gave him intel on how to exploit the pack's weaknesses. I’d get Hester to help me get answers out of her and pass them to Xavier without him ever laying eyes on her. I didn’t count on him sending one of his vile rogue lackeys to retrieve her. All Xavier really wants is her and her pups in his possession so Kaden will hand over the pack without a fight. He was never really going to let me have her and I was a fool to believe otherwise. Now, I have no option but to take her and run. I just have to find her first. Fucking Hester! She's more trouble than she's worth. Not once has she ever done what I asked of her. All she ever manages is to wreak havoc wherever she goes. But I was desperate to keep

Kaden “I love you, Kaden. Maybe that’s stupid of me. I’ve forgotten so much, it feels like we just met. But it’s how I feel so I won’t take it back.” My little flower’s emerald eyes shine with unshed tears, so much adoration and devotion reflected in them. But also pleading, begging me not to break her heart, and it guts me to know I deserve her fear. “I love you both,” she takes Declan’s hand, “and I’m done running. Maybe it took losing my memories to stop letting the past steal my future, to realize that none of us are who we used to be and all that matters is who we are now. Fated mates, parents to two wonderful pups, family.” I fall to my knees at her feet, wrapping arms around her waist and burying my face in her soft belly. “I love you so much, little flower. I didn’t know I was capable of loving someone this much. Thank you for accepting me, “I’ll never deserve you, but I’ll spend the rest of my life worshiping you like the goddess you are. I’ll never let anyone disrespect

Declan “Rosebud, stay in the car!” I bark the order but she’s already climbing out of the car at the sound of Kaden’s distress. “Fuck!” I growl, jumping out after her. “What happened?” She gasps, her eyes wide as she takes in the injured warrior. She’s patting Kaden down, like he might be bleeding just from standing too close to the other man. Her touch has the added benefit of calming her Alpha. But his wolf is still at the surface, letting out a rumbling growl as he pulls her into his arms and breathes in her warm apple scent. “Take her home, Beta!” Kaden uses his Alpha command, all business now. “Rogues attacked near the east border. If they managed to get that deep into the pack, they could be anywhere. It’s not safe out here.”“How the fuck did they get in? There’s no gate back there!” I question the warrior. “Our border wall is solid! We already repaired the spot where Olivia climbed over. There is no way in except through the front gate and no one sounded the alarm.”“Shit

Kaden By the time I reach the east border where the fighting occurred, the rogues have been put down by my men. Unfortunately, not before they slaughtered the elderly couple whose home sits closest to the border. The carnage is so horrific, I have to pull my shirt over my nose to cover the stench of blood in the air. “Get this cleaned up!” I command the few warriors with me. “I don't want the family to see this.” I have no idea how the rogues managed to get in but I’m pretty sure I know who sent them. More and more, I’m convinced Alpha Xavier is after my pack and he’ll stop at nothing to get it, including using his own daughter. The problem is, I have no proof and the Council would never sanction a declaration of war without it. Knowing there is nothing more I can do here, I head for my parents’ house, anxious to be with Olivia and our pups. Declan and I should be spoiling our pregnant mate, not battling rogues and burying corpses. No sooner does that thought cross my mind than t

Olivia “They’re gone.” Auntie Kat says and it takes me a minute to process what she said. They can’t be gone! That can’t be real! An agonized scream erupts from my chest when it finally sinks in that my boys are missing. I collapse in Declan’s arms, soaking his skin with my tears. He does his best to comfort me but I can feel his fear and his fury so fierce he’s vibrating with it. Kat breaks down, unable to continue, so Kaden’s dad takes over. “We followed his scent but it just vanished. We’ve already got men out looking for them, including Rhett and your uncle Dillon. We’ll find them.”But somehow, I know they won’t find them. I feel like I’m falling to pieces, crumbling from the inside out. Then suddenly I feel a jolt, like a bolt of lightning firing through every cell in my body. Sparks like fireworks fill my vision, then fizzle out and with them, everything goes dark. My eyes flutter open again and a tsunami of memories threaten to drown me. And with them, the full spectrum of

Declan Olivia stares out the window as we make our way to the east wall. She’s sitting in the front seat between Kaden and I, each of us holding one of her hands. She allows the contact but through the bond I can feel that she’s miles away. Maybe I need the comfort of her touch more than she needs mine. If it weren’t for her memories returning, we wouldn’t have the first clue where to start our search for the boys. But now, not only is she terrified for our pups, she’s been hit with the full force of her mates’ betrayals all at once. It must feel to her like it just happened yesterday. I know we’re bonded now, I know that’s forever, but even bonded mates can live separate lives if they feel they made a mistake. I squeeze her hand just a little bit tighter, relief pouring through me when she squeezes back. I couldn’t stand it if she regretted accepting me. “They’re going to be fine, rosebud. Kyle may be delusional, but he wants you to be a family. He won’t hurt them.” I slide my

Oliva Mothers always say there’s nothing they wouldn’t do for their children. I used to wonder if that was really true. I always believed I’d walk through the fires of hell for my boys. Now, I know I would, beyond a shadow of a doubt. I hate breaking my promise to Declan. I promised him I'd never run from him again and that’s exactly what I’ve done. But if there’s even the smallest chance Kyle took the twins to Crimson Moon, I have to go. Even if it means risking my own freedom. As I pull up to the front gate in my stolen SUV, fear claws at my insides but I force my face into a neutral expression. “Welcome to Crimson Moon. How can I help you today, miss . . .” The guard trails off and I realize he’s waiting for my name. “Uh, it’s Ms. Connor,” I use Declan’s surname, hoping it won’t be familiar if they were told to flag Olivia Cross. “I’m here to visit a friend.” “Name, please.” He states flatly. He’s watching my face while tapping his pen against his clipboard impatiently. Why

Olivia “Where are we going?” I ask as I rush to follow Hester down the hall, my head on a swivel, afraid Xavier or one of his men are going to pop out at any minute and drag me back to my fancy prison. When Hester came for me, I didn’t think twice about going with her. Sure, I could be jumping out of the frying pan right into the fire, but at the time, anything seemed better than being trapped in that room, just waiting for Xavier to return. I’m not sure what she wants with me, but I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Xavier’s plans for me aren’t good. “Quiet!” She hisses. “Do you want to get us caught?” I huff but keep moving, not having a better option at the moment. We seem to be taking a back passage, different from the way I came in, Eventually it leads to a side exit at the back of the packhouse. The moment the cold air hits my face, I skid to a stop. If my pups are in that house, I’m not leaving no matter how dangerous it is. Hester finally notices I’m not following and

Tryst Of Fate: Caught Between The Alpha And Beta Epilogue
Brynlee "Left!" I call out, moving in perfect sync with Rhett as we corner the rogue wolf we've been tracking for three days. Our client, the Mountain Ridge pack, watches in amazement as we work together, perfectly matched.The rogue doesn't stand a chance against our coordinated attack. Within minutes, Rhett has him pinned while I secure the spelled restraints."Impressive," the Mountain Ridge Alpha says. "Your reputation is well-earned.""We work well together," Rhett responds, his hand finding its natural place on my nape. Through our bond, I feel his eagerness to finish here. To get home. To Maya.The thought of our daughter makes both our wolves restless. Three days is the longest we've been away since her birth four months ago.“Grace says she's been practicing," Olivia tells us over the phone as we drive home. "The little witch is already moving her toys without touching them."Rhett's grip tightens on the steering wheel. Even after two months of knowing about Maya's magical ab

Brynlee "It's a girl," Grace announces with a smile as she completes my monthly check-up. "And she's thriving under your mate bond. Both of your energies are strengthening her."Rhett's hand tightens on my shoulder. Through our bond, I feel his fierce joy mingled with protective instinct."A daughter," he murmurs. "To raise as strong as her mother.""And as protected as her father makes her mother feel," I add, covering his hand with mine.We're in the pack gathering hall, where wolves mill about preparing for tonight's announcement feast. Rhett and I will officially share our plans to become trackers, to help other packs while maintaining our home ties here."Speaking of protection," Grace says carefully, "have you decided where you'll be when . . .""Here," Rhett answers immediately. "We'll time our contracts around the birth. Make sure we're home for at least the first few months.""Both packs will help," Finley adds, entering with a stack of paperwork. "Though from what I hear, yo

Brynlee"Please remind me, Sir. Make me yours again."And with that, the last of his restraint dissolves, leaving my sexy Dom standing where my gentle mate was only moments before. “Follow me.” He demands, turning away and trusting I’ll obey, that trust only making me want to please him further. “Sit.”I take a deep breath as I lower myself into the chair he led me to. It’s a wood-framed chair that’s slightly reclined, a pillowy black cushion that I sink down into stretched across the surface. There are strange leather loops protruding from the wood at the top of the chair and it’s immediately clear the entire thing was built for one very specific purpose. “Arms up over your head, little wolf.” His command is a deep rumble that sends a frisson of pleasure straight to my clit. He steps behind me, and though I can’t see what he’s doing, I’m not afraid. Excitement and eager anticipation is all I can feel. Until he wraps soft cuffs around my wrists and attaches them to the leather loops

Rhett The pack house buzzes with activity as one of the elders works with other witches to break the spells on affected pack members. Grace moves between them, checking for injuries, while warriors secure Xander and Tracy in spelled cells deep underground.But all I can focus on is Brynlee."You need to be checked," I murmur against her hair. We haven't broken contact since the fight ended, my hand resting possessively on her nape."I'm fine," she starts to protest, but stops at my growl."Grace. Now." I let dominance color my tone, watching her melt into the command."Yes, Sir."Heads turn as we cross the great hall - not with the previous worry or pity, but with new respect. My collar sits proud at her throat, her submission now obvious and willing. No more pretense. No more hiding."The baby's fine," Grace announces after examining her. "Actually, it's more than fine. The energy is stronger, more stable." She looks between us. "Whatever happened during the fight seems to have stren

Rhett Training takes over as I evaluate our options. Spelled wolves on three sides, children still in danger, and Xander approaching from the north.Through our bond, I feel Brynlee's certainty. “Trust me,” she pushes through our connection. “Like in training.”"Grace," I command quietly. "Get the pups out. Dad, contain the spelled wolves. Tracy's mine."Before Tracy can react, Brynlee moves - not away from danger but straight toward it. Toward Xander. Every instinct screams to stop her, but I force myself to trust. To let her fight her own battles while I handle mine."You're done, Tracy." I let my dominance fill the space between us. "Your spells are weakening. Your control is slipping. Submit now and—"Her laugh turns hysterical. "Submit? Like your precious mate? The one walking straight into Xander's trap?"But she's wrong. Through our bond, I feel Brynlee's strength. Her purpose.This isn't her walking into a trap. This is her choosing to face her demons. And my job isn't to stop

Rhett "I can't do this anymore!"Brynlee's voice carries across the pack grounds, perfectly pitched to convey desperation. She's standing just where we planned, moonlight catching the tears on her cheeks."You don't have a choice," I growl, playing my part. "You're mine.""No!" She backs away, one hand going to my collar. "I'm not yours. I'm not anyone's. And I won't let you control me anymore."The gathered pack members shift uncomfortably. In the trees, I catch multiple scents - Tracy's spies, spelled wolves, others waiting to report back. Perfect."Don't." My voice drops dangerously as her fingers touch the collar's clasp. Everything in me rebels at what comes next, but we've planned this.The sound of the collar hitting the ground echoes in the sudden silence.My roar of rage is only partly acting. Even knowing this is planned, seeing her remove my collar makes Kian nearly uncontrollable."You'll regret this," I snarl, advancing on her. Right on cue, pack members move to intervene
Tryst Of Fate: Caught Between The Alpha And Beta Ch. 35
Rhett "They've made contact." Dad’s voice is grim as he hands me the surveillance photos. "Tracy met with Xander last night, just outside our borders."I study the images, fighting to maintain control as I see them together, heads bent in conversation. Planning. Plotting. Against my mate."Show me where."He points to the map. "Here. Notice anything interesting?""It's a focal point," I realize. "Between three locations where we found spelled wolves."More photos show increased movement around our territory. Unfamiliar wolves. Dark magic signatures. All converging faster than we anticipated."They're not waiting for the new moon," I say quietly."No." Dad marks another location. "The elders detected four more spelled wolves this morning. All moving into position. Whatever they're planning . . .""It's happening soon."My phone buzzes - Finley: Tracy spotted watching breakfast. Your move.Which means another public performance. Another scene of Brynlee rejecting my claim. Each time cut
Tryst Of Fate: Caught Between The Alpha And Beta Ch. 34
Brynlee It takes everything in me not to lean into Rhett's touch when he reaches for me at breakfast. Instead, I force myself to flinch away, hating how his scent spikes with controlled aggression - even knowing it's an act."Don't," I say, letting my voice shake just enough. "Please. I just-, I need space."His hand drops, but not before I catch the subtle brush of his fingers against my collar - a private reminder of what's real. Of what lies beneath this performance."You're wearing my collar," he says, loud enough to carry to the curious pack members pretending not to watch. "My claim."I touch the collar, letting them see uncertainty instead of the comfort it truly brings. "Maybe that's the problem."The whispers start immediately. I catch fragments - "too soon," "traumatized," "rejecting the bond" - exactly what we want them to hear. What we want Tracy to hear when her spies inevitably report back.Rhett growls, playing his part perfectly. "We'll discuss this later.""There's no
