All Chapters of The Alpha's Desire and the Dragon's Fire: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Dr Squire glanced at me. “Hold on Sophia. We’ll be okay now.”I heard the screeching of tires, knowing that the other Range Rover had come to a sudden stop. I looked out the back and saw that a line of blazing fire acted as a barrier between us and our pursers. I couldn’t even see Danny anymore. But then, I heard an ear-piercing howl that was fuelled with pain and loss. It wrenched my heart so forcibly, I wanted to throw myself from the car. I had never heard him howl, but somehow, I knew it was him. He was a creature of his fathers making, but I knew there was some good in there. I had seen glimpses of it. That was what I found myself mourning as a single tear made its way down my cheek.Dr Squire had slowed down now, clearly content that for now we were safe.“Will he be okay?” I whispered.She sighed. “Yes. For now. Remember what you feel for him is not real though. It is all to do with that ugly mark he’

I spent the next day or so recovering. My neck looked and felt a million times better, and I was surprised when Dr Squire told me that eventually I wouldn’t even have a scar. Through our time together, I discovered that she was actually a werewolf. Her and her mate had split off from their pack after not agreeing with how things were run. They didn’t agree with how werewolves conducted their business. Thale had taken them under employment in order to help infiltrate packs and prevent criminal activities. The wolf who had appeared in the middle of her road was her mate.The pull I had towards Danny began to fade away. I couldn’t say that my feelings completely disappeared, but I no longer wanted to run back to him. The report of him coaxing my brother to kill someone definitely added to the destruction of the fondness I had once experienced.Thale barely left me alone, although he had hardly said a word to me since our angry exchange. He slept on

I became aware of a blissful feeling. The kind that makes everything seem wonderfully hazy and warm. I realised I was being held by someone, and I opened my eyes to see Thale sleeping soundly next to me. He looked so peaceful. This was not something I really associated with him, but right now, that’s how he appeared to be.I stayed still in his arms, enjoying the opportunity to study him freely. I traced each feature with my eyes, marvelling at the contours of his eyes, the angular line of his jaw, and the fullness of the lips that I had suddenly found myself addicted too. He had been beautiful to me before, there was no doubt about it. But now it went beyond that for me, it was as if he was divine. The change in his breathing told me he was rousing, and I eagerly waited for his green eyes to reveal themselves. As he blinked and took a moment to take in my image, a sleepy almost boy-like smile crept onto his face.“Good morning Sophia, wer

Thale’s jaw dropped. “Absolutely not. That goes against everything Hereti believed in. He made the stone to control supernatural power, along with protecting humans!”Fallon’s whole demeanour suddenly changed as he leaned forward sharply, and I shrank backwards. “Don’t lecture me, boy!” Fallon roared. “I know very well what our history is!”His eyes burned. I knew this was serious. I even sensed Thale stilling. Fallon may act demurely most of the time, but he was clearly dangerous.“It is not the same as it was back then,” Fallon hissed. “Humans now have the technology to easily kill us, even when we shift. Their weapons could kill us in minutes.”Alvena piped up again. “Just because you happen to have a human mate Thale, doesn’t mean you suddenly have to protect them. There was a time…”“Shut up Alvena.” Thale’s tone was threate

As I opened the French Doors, Thale stood up sharply.  “Sophia! You must be freezing, put this on.”He began to take off his suit jack while moving towards me, but I placed my hand out in front of me as a barrier. “Fallon told me about Sola Fide.”I kept my eyes fixed on his expression, watching it fall and darken as my words sank in.A silence descended in the room, so much so I could hear bird song from outside and the light sound of wind rustling the leaves of the trees. As he continued to hold my gaze, I knew that what Fallon had told me was the truth.Finally, he opened his mouth. The words came out cracked. “How much did he tell you?”I took a deep breath moving over to place my hand on the back of a chair to pull it out. The soft touch of velvet meeting my finger tips before I took a seat. “He told me the group murdered humans. They used wars to cover it. He said…” The words
