Text Message ConversationsBenji: Conrad? Are you busy? For a quickie?Conrad: Hey love, never busy for you. For a quickie huh? I’m always up for a quickie. Do you want me to come to the lab or do you want to come to the packhouse?Benji: Can you click on the link and meet me in the secured chat room?Conrad: Oh, So you want to do some dirty talk first without anyone knowing huh? Benji: And can you send the link to your squad as well? The password is Saved by the BellConrad: Wait… What? You said QUICKIE! And Why didn’t you put that whole thing in one text message? You got my hopes up… and something else up as well. I haven’t seen in you in over 24 hours, my dick is hard and disappointed.Benji: Ew Perv! Now click the link and meet the team in the chat room with your squad.Secure Chat roomBenji: Bennet why did you call Conrad a perv? And I never told you to tell him Quickie! I said Quick-LY! As in time sensitive. Sorry Conrad, I gave Bennet my phone to text you for me since I was
Benji’s POVI stood outside the small meeting room in the pack’s hospital taking in a few last minutes breaths before I faced the families of the sick wolves. The different states of illness weighing heavily on my mind. A few wolves were in the beginning stages of the poison, while others were in more advanced stages and degrees. Some were in jail cells fighting off the feral wild madness while others were on the brink of death. Tomas, the warrior I had taken a personal interest in his recovery coming to mind. His parents have spoken with me several times about his days as a top warrior and his mate who was a teacher before she turned feral. They loved to brag about their grandbaby as well. Tomas was all the child had left, so I wanted his recovery more than anything.“Sherlock?” Artemis spoke up behind me. I turned to look at my friend, my expression completely raw with emotions. She gave me a knowing smile. “These families need hope and eventually a cure… Go talk to the families lik
Benji’s POVI checked Tomas’s vitals for the hundredth time in the last few hours, but there wasn’t any change. His heart rate was steady and there was no movement or muscle reactions. The tranquilizer was doing its job and keeping him asleep. Holding open his eye lids, I checked his pupils with a light, no change. His eye color was still red when they should have been a “A beautiful brown” according to his mother. I will admit he was a handsome man, but nothing like Conrad.Speaking of the devil, Conrad texted me to check in, but all I could say was nothing yet. He wasn’t happy or mad that Tomas’s parents volunteered him for the medicine. I think Conrad was trying to avoid showing emotions toward the situation which I didn’t blame him for. Tomas was a pack member and Conrad respected all his members in his pack and in the territory.‘Dahlia, Can you sense Tomas’s wolf?’ I spoke to my wolf through our bond, but she just shook her head. It was like his wolf was dormant which wasn’t a g
Conrad’s POV(Mandatory Alpha Virtual Meeting)I was filled with a renewed sense of determination since Benji told me that Tomas was awake and responsive. He wasn’t completely out of the woods, but he was back in his right mind temporarily at least. The news of Tomas’ returning quickly spread through my pack. The emotional fog that seeped into my pack was lifting with the news of Tomas’s slow recovery. Other sick wolves were given the medicine and it was just a waiting game to see if they also recovered as well and how much.Tomas was removed from the jail cells and returned back into the pack hospital. I had the privilege of escorting his parents to his new room. It was like he was back from the dead. His mother sobbed into my arms while his father hugged Benji. I smiled at Tomas who gave me a slow nod of respect. He quietly spoke with Benji for a few minutes before she recommended he get some more rest. “Alpha.” He whispered and I turned to look at him. "Thank you for not giving up
Benji’s POVWith the smell of sex in the air, we held each other close while catching our breaths. The atmosphere in Conrad’s office was electrifying. Our bodies still connected, I could feel him pulsing in me, letting the last bit of remanence of his seed spill into me. He nestled his nose against my neck and kissed the marking post with his soft lips. A shiver ran through me as his hands caressed my back. Being in his arms made everything feel right.“We didn’t use protection…” I whispered as I held him tight, my legs were still wrapped around his waist.He hummed with a smile, “Is that ok? You are my mate after all. I know we still have a lot to talk about and there is a lot going on, but I want this that is building between us.”“I do too.” I whisper back, hugging him closer. Our bodies molded together perfectly even if we were on a hard cold wooden desk.“Hey, I have been meaning to ask you, what happened the other day when you woke up crying? You just kept saying you were ok. If
Benji’s POVSean looked at Bennet, his eyebrows skewed together like he was looking at something out of this world. “You know I could crush you with one hand and be justified by the words you are spewing at me, right? Also, my name isn’t Stephan.” The hulking giant of a Beta towered over Bennet, but that didn’t phase my cousin one bit. Bennet placed his hands on his hips, stared right up at the Sean and let him have it. Oh damn, here we go…“I am going to give you some advice… I know you asked Ashley out to dinner, but that doesn’t mean shit to me. I was only being nice in the chatroom because I didn’t want her to feel bad and we had more important topics to talk about, but now that you are standing in front of me, I am going to reconstruct your ego. I only remember names of people who aren’t complete twat-waffles. I don’t treat people I care about as if they aren’t worthy of love and affection! Don’t think we forgot your little speech about how awful State wolves are and how much you
Conrad’s POVI have come to realize I can’t go back to how things were now that I have my second chance mate. After dinner with Benji, we went to pick up Falon and Finnley from their school’s bingo event. Everything I had ever desired for my life clicked into place watching Benji with my kids. Sitting in a red and white booth at the small 50s diner, surrounded by the vintage deco, I found my life. Benji animatedly talking to my pups as they scan the dessert menu. She sings along with the jukebox while using sign language so Falon can enjoy the music as well. Finnley comes out of his quiet introvert self to sing along to “Rock around the clock” and for once there is a smile on his face. Benji’s presence in our lives is glueing back the pieces of what was once broken.‘I doubt she even knows what she is doing to us.’ My wolf, Titus, purrs in my head as he watches through our eyes. ‘I wish I could talk to her wolf. She is weak, but I can feel her and sense her. I can sometimes hear her
Follow up to The Dark Alpha's Pet Benji’s POVBeep! Beep! Beep!I groan to myself as I try to ignore the annoying screeching sound of the alarm clock going off for the third time this morning. I slap my hand down on top of the metal demon of mornings and roll back into my warm comfy comforter.Beep! Beep! Beep! Slam! Scratch that… Fourth time. I turn my head enough to look out the window. The sun is beginning its peak-a-boo game over the tops of the surrounding trees which makes me scowl. Damn sun ruining what little sleep I get.To say I am a morning person would be the lie of the century. Mornings just mean I am waking up to another day without… Him… My mate is gone, and my heart still doesn’t believe it. Gregory was the Head warrior of the Blue Eclipse Pack and my biggest cheerleader for my medical career. He was strong, funny, handsome, and very kinky! Everything about him was the key to my reason for living. His death nearly killed me and… I close my eyes, willing my tears to re

Benji's POV “Why not? Telling him what your family said and how you feel will change… Oh…” Then it dawned on me. Why he wouldn’t tell Bennet yet. Knowing Bennet, he would tell him to chose his family. Family is so important to Bennet since he was adopted. Dean nodded his head.“I made my choice and I don’t regret it one bit. Even if he doesn't accept me, I can't be with a family that would abanded me so quickly just because of who my mate is.” Dean’s eyes met mine and even though there was some sadness in his dark orbs, there was also hope. “Now just need to win him over.”“OH NO! You are not being in charge of the trivia cards again! I can’t be stuck in a room for the next Goddess-knows how many hours listening to you rant and rave about 80s and 90s pop culture!”We heard Ashley yell at Gray through the door. I laughed and Dean looked mildly amused. “This is going to be interesting, isn’t it?”I smile warmly at him, “Yep…” Then a thought occurred to me. “When Bennet does accept you,
Benji’s POV (Forty-eight hours prior to Alpha Meeting)“I am going to send maintenance to come clean up the mess, and then I am going over to meet some of my warriors so we can get to the bottom of this. Ok?” Conrad’s words gave me no comfort as I continued to look down at the frozen image of the man on the screen. I was pretty certain I had seen him before, but I couldn’t quit put a finger on it. I simply nodded my head, but I was already formulating plans of my own in my head as Conrad and his men left the lab.I can’t believe someone would destroy the lab. I mean, this isn’t the first time someone tried to stop us from solving a mystery, but it was never to this level of intent. The broken glass, destroyed computers, books shredded, our lab equipment… all just gone. This just solidify my thoughts that the illness was man-made and I needed to get to the bottom of it. With new determination, I looked around the room at my team. If I was going to get them back to their A game, I am go
