All Chapters of Alpha Desmond: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Bucho carried me out of the hospital and I shied away from the sunlight. It really had been weeks since I had been outside during the day. Bucho strode through the village but his face showed how unhappy he was. I still let myself relax in his arms. We headed to the far side of the village. There was a specific tent that had been built for keeping prisoners but I hadn’t actually been inside of it. My heart sunk when I realized that it was where we were headed. That Nasir had been locked up for over a week.We got to the tent when one of the warriors who was guarding the front bared his neck and moved the flap for us. Ducking into the entrance, I looked at the rows of cages that were built inside this tent. My eyes looked over the cells before the far cell showed the thick brown-reddish fur of a wolf curled up in the corner. Tears came to my eyes and I wiggled out of Bucho’s grasp.My legs barely held me up but I made it to the cell door before I collapsed o

Looking at the house though, it was different. There was a real front door and the porch railing had been fixed. The grass covered the entirety of it just like I wanted. Solar panels had been attached to the roof. Smiling, I shook my head. 'Desmond, what did you do to my house?''Olivia?!'I laughed. 'Nope. Just a random person wondering why solar panels are on the top of my roof. ''Are you here?''Yeah. I just stepped in.''I’m driving to you now.'Smiling, I walked up to the house and used my key to open the door. First thing I noticed was that the doors and frames were taller. Desmond wouldn’t have to duck anymore. There was now furniture inside as well. A couch, coffee table, a bean bag and a table with four chairs. The one thi

I wish I had woken up with the sun, birds chirping, ready to start the day. Instead, I was leaned over the toilet at five in the morning throwing up dinner from the night before. My hands shook and I grimaced. Going through two previous pregnancie, it had never been this bad. A hand rubbed my back and some water dropped into view. I took it and first swished it around in my mouth, spitting it out. The second sip I gulped down. “Thank you.” I smiled up at Ricky. “It’s still pretty bad?”I nodded. “Doctor basically said I could symptom control. I’ll do a ginger root tea. See if that helps. If not, I’ll try a nausea potion. But if that doesn’t work then I’m totally fucked.”“Damn you guys. Quit being so hard on your mom. Uncle forbids it.” Ricky poked my stomach and I laughed.

Olivia and Nasir were walking ahead of me. Her hand was on his head and they walked completely in sync with each other. Aamon was irritated at their interaction but I was still reeling from her earlier assessment of herself. It had shut up both my mother and I. My father and Olivia still happily carried on a conversation but the two of us couldn’t move past it.My mother had pulled me aside before we left and I could see the worried mother look in her eyes. I told her I understood but I honestly didn’t know how to even start the conversation. I loved this fiery woman with all my soul. Every part of her was perfect for me but if I tried to make her see, she would brush me off as just being her mate.'Earth to Desmond. Earth to Desmond. Have you landed on the outer rim yet?'My eyes snapped ahead of me and I realized I had stopped walking in front of the gazebo in the town center. Olivia was sitting on one of the benches and Nasir was laying u

I walked out and looked around. Olivia had been working on a magic circle in the middle of the clearing just above the ley line for days. She would go over it again and again trying to make it perfect. Painting it by hand in a mixture of herbs, white chalk and magic. At one point I had tried to help but she kicked me out of the clearing and said I couldn’t do anything.“Where do you want us?” I stood behind her, kissing her head.She was tense though and even the kiss didn’t remove the tension in her shoulders. Olivia was looking over the clearing. Taking a deep breath, she looked up at me and smiled.“Alright! I need Ricky right here.” She pointed to the tip of the circle.He skipped over and stood just outside the circle.“Janet, I need you on the opposite end of Ricky. Imogen, I need you to the right of her.”“Her right or yours?”Olivia chuckled. “Hers. Thank you fo
