All Chapters of The Alpha's Tainted Blood: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Elias“A cult!” Harper exclaimed, “like an actual cult, not a coven?” We had been sitting in the cafe with Brianna for about thirty minutes. The majority of the time was spent helping the poor girl calm down. The fear was coming off her in waves to begin with and not only my wolf but also the demon, had been very attracted to the scent. They saw the girl as prey which wasn’t ideal since we were trying to put her at ease. After her boss had brought her a mug of hot chocolate and announced that he was going to close up, and to take our time, Brianna had started to relax. Harper had coaxed her to start talking after telling us that Brianna thought we were here to kill her. “Yep,” Brianna said as she hugged the steaming mug with her hands. “I mean they said it was a coven, but it ran like a cult. They were obsessed with The Order and bringing in the next Divine Warrior.” she sneered as she said the last part. Then looked at Harper apologetically. “I mean,” she said, “I’m sure it’s not

Elias“I’m going back, Drake.” I glanced over at Harper as she all but yelled into the phone. We were back in the car on our way back to Midnight Moon pack. This time Marcus was driving, with Katie sitting up front, and myself, Harper and a very wide eyed Brianna in the back. Harper had been on the phone to Drake for the last twenty minutes after ignoring several messages from him. “It’s Louise,” she sighed, rubbing her eyes. “I’m not going to sit by and not try to help one of my best friends.” I saw Brianna turn from staring out the window to look at Harper. Our eyes met, and I threw her a reassuring smile. The poor girl had pretty much had her life tipped upside down in less than twenty-four hours. She had already had to face something awful in the Neverplain, something that neither she nor Harper had spoken about, and then she was rushed to pack some clothes and dragged across the country. Harper paced her apartment impatiently while Brianna packed, and almost refused when she ha

Harper“Yes, dad I know it could be a trap, but it’s also could help us too.” Tommy was arguing on the phone with the Sovereign, who I still couldn’t quite process was my grandfather. I had been working for him at the Council for ten years completely in the dark. I wasn’t sure what pissed me off the most, the fact that he had remained hidden all this time, or now that he revealed himself he thought he had any sort of claim on my life. “I have been a guardian for Harper since she was born, I am not about to let her get hurt now,” Tommy said through gritted teeth. I grinned, clearly he wasn’t so happy with daddy dearest trying to call the shots again. Tommy saw me grinning and glared at me. “Does he want the Circle caught or not?” I asked, loud enough that the dick could hear me on the other end of the phone. It must have worked because Tommy threw another glare my way. “No father, she isn’t being a smartass,” he said, and I laughed. “She is right. We need the information that Stokes

HarperThere were three cars outside the pack house when we got back. Elias excused himself almost immediately and disappeared into the pack house. I must have looked concerned as I watched him go because Marcus nudged me with a sly grin on his face. “He probably needs a shower,” he said, “you know after, erm rolling around in the mud.” He winked at me and I rolled my eyes while inwardly cringing. I was under no illusions that a pack house full of werewolves may not have noticed what we did in the woods. Still a shiver of delight ran down my back at the memory of it.“Fuck off,” I said which just made him laugh further. I would have said something else but the look on Drake’s face as he headed towards me didn’t look too friendly.“Colton Stokes?” he asked angrily. “Do you really think that bringing more demon bloods into the mix is a good idea? Especially him.” “Because it’s him,” I said. “Colton knows this area just as well as the rest of us who grew up here. Better even since he w

HarperWe headed towards the location of the safe house in four separate cars. We stopped about ten minutes out in a grove in the woods. The decision had been made that Tommy would head up the second team while I was outside with Elias. Elias seemed relieved when Tommy told him. We separated into the two main teams. Marcus, Alex and a couple of pack warriors on my team, and then Tommy, Drake, Elias and another couple of pack warriors on the other team. The final back up comprised Pack warriors led by Jamie, Alex’s little brother, who I had since found out had been given the Gamma rank of the pack. My grandfather had decided to stay behind with his men, stating his only concern was the detainment of Colton, and Brin had used the divine guard that he brought to surround the pack and monitor the growing demon bloods on the south border.We suited up in silence before heading out in our respective directions in accordance to the plan. Elias wanted to come with me but I reasoned that I nee
