All Chapters of Alpha Desmond: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

The next week or so I didn’t see Desmond. Marcus said he was busy with Alpha James and was rarely in the territory anymore. It made it easier to go back to avoiding him that way. Liam and Nat had started coming over more to my cabin. I was mid replacing the walls nearing the end of my project. Nat would toss her phone away and blast music in the house while I worked, the both of us singing at a ridiculous volume. Not always on key. She would complain about her cheerleading groupies and it made me laugh. Getting a taste of how much work it really was to stay popular. Liam started his research into what he really wanted to do, spurring him into a studying machine. He would bring over college textbooks and asked me questions about the different races. It made me happy, that all of his anger toward his parents was now being fueled into something productive. Most of the time he would actually go to class now, but study complet

***Desmond’s POV*** I nearly pounded Glenn’s head into the sidewalk. I felt like I had made progress with Olivia. She opened up a little, allowing me in and allowing me to help. Sure it was not without a bit of stubbornness but she did nonetheless. That was a huge step forward. I wanted to have dinner with her. I wanted to see if I could help her pick out what she needed tomorrow. Glenn had already pissed her off this morning by contacting me. While I didn’t understand the intricacies of Olivia’s fey connection, it was obvious in her distaste of the title Princess. He pushed and she did what she does best, Olivia left.I knew she had been working on the house while the kids were out with her. Even with telling them they couldn’t see her or at least not to bother her as much, they went over nearly every day. Part of me was worried but I stopped receiving calls about Liam skipping class and Nat had actually started to come out

Olivia was right, I hated this plan. It wasn’t a plan at all. We found a way onto the rooftop before the meeting started. Basically her plan was to try and find a place to hide while the meeting was happening. While she might be able to fit in several places, I was less likely since I had to duck out of the elevator. “No trees, no real grass, all fake plants. What the hell? You live on the biggest ley line and you can’t afford some real fucking plants?” I chuckled at Olivia. “I don’t think it’s the plants that are the problem. It’s the upkeep.” “There is no fucking upkeep! You’re on the roof! The ley line will feed them and the rain will water them!” She huffed as she walked around the kitchen. “There is literally no space here. Maybe we could disguise ourselves as waiters?” Shaking my head, I walked around one of the beams that held up the roof over the bar and kitchen area. “Maybe we could go up top?” Olivia came over and looked up. “Wanna b

'Alpha!''Kind of busy Frank.'I jumped over a fallen tree and took hold of the neck of the closest wolf to me. Shaking it, I felt the bones snap under my jaws and let go. The smoke covered all sight and stung my nose. Even this far away, the waves of heat singed my fur.'Alpha they have started to attack from the north as well!'I cursed. We had been dealing with the random waves of attacks from a mixture of rogues and Alpha James’ warriors. They were trying to wear us down. Two days ago they set fire to the southeastern part of the forest. It was quick to go into flames but the fey on the territory protected our side the forest. The fire still burned south and filled the area with smoke. We had to be extra careful before the humans decided to send multiple divisions of fire fighters to battle it. Luckily it was further south but when one would wander north, I tried to adjust our entire patrol around them.It took

Pulling into her driveway, it was quiet. I jumped out and slammed the door shut. Nasir pushed the front door open and barked at me when I smiled. Walking up the steps, I grabbed the door he held open for me. Olivia was sitting on the bench, a mug of tea in her hands. She was staring at it until I closed the door behind me. Looking up, she smiled.“Hey.”“Hey to you too.” I said before coming over and kissing her forehead. “You seemed to be mulling around in your thoughts. Everything okay?”She nodded and set her mug down. Getting up, I watched as she pulled a mug from her pile on the kitchen table and fill it with the tea she had been brewing. I took it from her but before she could walk away, I brushed the hair off her shoulder. Four angry scars shone red on her skin but they were healed.“Mother fixed them.”My hand brushed the skin and she shivered under my touch. “You okay?”Her
