All Chapters of The Alpha's Key: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

For some unknown reason, Nari's luck ran out after she returned from the Moonstone pack.  She had lost the vampire's stone that she obtained in the second induction test by Maxwell, earning his disapproval.  Her eyebrows furrowed as she tried to recall the events leading to the loss of the stone. A few hours before the induction test, using a glamour spell, Nari had posed as Stephen and met Annabelle at Lava Java. And then using an enchantment spell she kidnapped Annabelle and brought her to the hidden chamber in her bedroom.  She wanted information on Romeo's location, so she used an inferno spell, slowly burning Annabelle's skin and raising the heat to a scorching level in order to get Annabelle to spill. Unfortunately, Nari's plan didn't go as planned, for minutes later she was called by the Wiccan Council for her second induction test. So she had to leave before she was able to extract any useful

Bayswater Beach Romeo Price   A pang of disappointment flooded my chest when I woke up to an empty and cold bed. My plan for some alone time with Annabelle last night failed miserably when she took to bed like a fish in water. Not that I blame her, we had quite the adventure yesterday, discovering an underground pathway that leads straight to Montgomery's residence. And adding to that, she also had to apparate items from the underground library and heal Dimitri's, human mate. That must have taken a toll on her magic. I arose from the bed, showered, and strolled off to the kitchen. The smell of bacon and eggs guided my nose like a beacon, assuming that Annabelle would be sitting at the breakfast nook with Dimitri and his human mate. I wonder how Annabelle knew the girl's name. What did Annabelle call the girl again, was it, Gisela? To my surprise, the kitchen was empty except

Bayswater pack lands Annabelle Aoki   I woke up in a strange room, lying on a foreign bed and my body wrapped by unfamiliar soft, silken sheets. What on earth happened last night? The last thing I remembered was an angry Romeo bursting out of the beach house in his wolf form. After our heated exchange, I trudged to my bedroom to clean up and waited for him to return. I guess I must've dozed off before he returned, if he ever came back that is. I blinked the remnants of sleep from my brain and rubbed my eyes. Pushing myself into a seating position, my head bobbed, my eyes taking stock of my surroundings. Dark silken sheets pooled around me and I was lying in a large king-sized bed in the middle of the room. To my right, a messy desk rested by the wall, and a leather settee sat in the corner of the room. I've been in this room before. I saw a figure lounging on the sofa across the

I marched out of the kitchen for my office, trying my best to quash my true desire, which is to storm into my bedroom and claim Annabelle as mine. The memories of our kiss this morning had branded my lips and lingered at the forefront of my brain.  Instead of going to Annabelle, I sought solace in my mountain of work. Right. How could work compare to my mate? My heart beat faster as the clock ticked on, my body thrumming with anticipation as I waited for my mate to apparate to her safe house and pick up the item Trav requested. My wolf was anxiously pacing in my head, becoming more irascible as his impatience grew, wanting desperately to know the identity of Annabelle's secret lover. However, the black onyx stone on my neck stayed cool and muted, indicating that the rune enchanted with the locating spell has not yet been used, yet. Frustration clawed through my veins at the thought of Annabelle protecting the unknown male's

"Annabelle! Oh my God, are you here for real?" I found myself wrapped in strong arms and enveloped by a familiar scent of cypress and mint, Stephen Wolfe. With everything that's been going on in the past few days, I realized guiltily that I have forgotten to check up on Stephen after escaping from Nari's creepy hidden chamber. Unable to help myself, I giggled like a teenage girl as relief washed over me, thankful to find he is in one piece, safe and alive. "Hey, I'm real," I replied softly. I gave him a wide grin after he had released me from his embrace and patted the empty seat beside me to which he eagerly took.  "What happened to you the other day? I thought we were supposed to meet for coffee." I badgered, remembering it was Nari who showed up, pretending to be him. There was a nagging feeling festering at the back of my head, wondering how did Stephen and Nari know each other. My mind replayed the conversatio
