All Chapters of The Alpha's Redeemer: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

~Liam~I stare at Adriana like she has gone completely insane. Her green eyes are full of need and hope. We have had this same argument for weeks on end and I never thought she would get me to change my mind. This fucking mate bond has been pulling at me for years. Years of aching for her in ways she will never understand. The day they changed her from human to werewolf, everything shifted. The slack in our bond was pulled taut, and now she is feeling the effects in full force. And so am I.“I want to complete the mate bond, Liam,” she demands, wincing as she stomps her foot to punctuate her anger. I frown as I step toward her, but she pins me with a pointed stare. Her proclamation should make me happy. It should make me jump for the moon and sweep her up and mark her right here, right now. But she doesn’t understand the weight of the mate bond and all it entails. Adriana was physically broken and human not so long ago, and though she was my mate, I never told her what I was. Or ab

~Liam~ Hollow. That’s how I feel as I stare at the woman I thought loved me for me. The woman I love, the same one who just gutted me with a few words. From living in the clouds, blissfully happy to desolate. I have no words. Nothing I can say to her. She didn’t expect me to find out. She thought I wouldn’t hear, or maybe she forgot that werewolves have excellent hearing. But she slipped up. She fucked up when she revealed her secret to Sari. “Liam…” she says, clinging to my waist, her emerald eyes boring into mine as I look down at her. I used to think she fit here perfectly. But now it looks all wrong. I stumble back, extracting myself from her arms in haste. My vision wanes as if I’m emotionally bleeding out slowly, losing my sanity and control. I spin on my heels, my chest heaving as I break down one piece at a time. My wolf is silent for the first time in my life. He sits lifeless and I’m on my own to escape this suffocating room. No respite for me, only doing the one thing

~Adriana POV~I can feel Liam through the bond. His distress oozing over the barrier has up. I know he has been blocking me the entire time, true to Liam form he disappears when shit gets a little screwed up so he can think. He always comes back, and he never goes far. Until today. I’m such an idiot, and I know it. Just thinking about the things going through his head right now is enough to make me want to tear my hair out. “LIAM!” I scream out, sprinting through the woods, following the faint scent. Axel told me to stop and give him his space, but when I told him what Liam overheard, the terrible thing I had said as if it were some joke, he went pale and called Billy and Jacob for backup. Thank heavens Billy and Bea are back from their most recent mission. He has a way of being able to find people quickly.The further we go into the woods, the more anxious I grow. We left almost immediately after him, give or take maybe five minutes in total. How the hell could he get so far away so

It would be easier if I didn’t believe her. I could walk away and let her be happy and live her life to find a new mate. I would wither away and die at the hands of the rogue alphas and she would be safe. But I believe her words. The thing with the mate bond is that once you are mated, you can feel your mate’s emotions if they let their barriers down. And right now Adriana’s barrier is not only down, but she is fuming with an array of emotions. Desperation, anger, and overwhelming love, to name a few. But the one that sticks out, the one I’m choosing to cling to, is her confusion and fear. She is afraid of me. It’s minute, small enough that it could be overlooked, but it lingers there, killing me each moment I feel it. I let out a heavy sigh, running my calloused hand over my face. “I don’t want to do this.” I groan. She freezes, and her mouth drops open in shock. The corner of her lips twist up in a confused face, her brows furrowing and her nose looking adorable as it scrunches.

~Adriana POV~I slam into the mind link repeatedly, trying to force Liam to let me in. He can feel the fury in my eyes when he sees me, but he ignores my gaze. I lurch forward as he spins to run, but Axel stops me with his hand. “Liam!” I scream as he spins and takes off into the woods, all the rogues following him, whooping and howling in the excitement of the chase. I surge forward again, but this time it’s Emal’s massive hands that stop me. He wraps his arm over my shoulders and the other around my stomach as I kick and growl, fighting to get out of their hold.“Emal,” I growl, looking up over my shoulder. He refuses to look at me as he stares ahead at his alpha. Where I once thought Billy was huge, Emal is bigger. He is a giant in human form, but when he shifts, he is an immovable white elephant with tusks probably as long as I am tall. Fighting against him is futile, but I do it anyway. “Adriana!” Axel barks at me. “Stop fighting!”I freeze and scowl at him, my chest rising an
