All Chapters of ALPHA INC: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Blaire lifted onto her tiptoes and kissed me once more, her sweet scent sliding over my skin like silk. I tangled my fingers into the length of her dark hair, and kissed her back. I knew she was safe with the pack, more safe than the rest of us would be shortly. None of us knew what we were walking into, and normally that wouldn't bother me, but now that I had Blaire, it did. Marcus yelled something at us from the edge of the tree line, but I ignored him, deepening our kiss because I hated to be away from her. With the dragon wanting her so badly, my wolf felt reluctant to leave her. The dragon was obviously hell-bent on claiming her, and it cut me deep. "Luther," she said, pulling away. "I'll be fine. I'm here with an entire pack of wolves. I'll be right here waiting for you when you make it back. And you are coming back, because when you do, I'm going to be ready for some fangs in my neck, and some--," "I know," I said, sliding my palm over the back of her head. "I'm going to g

Blaire's short strides patted along behind me, down the stairs and toward the back of the house. Most of the wolves were outside, some playing with their pups, but others keeping watch. Backup for the guard wolves roaming the perimeter. Marcus stood with mom and Scotty in the garden. She looked concerned which meant they'd told her what we were up against. "Luther," Mom said, reaching for my forearm. "Is everything alright? You look angry." Oh, I was beyond angry. Not only was this guy supposedly mated to my mate, but he threatened her and my family. I cracked my neck, squeezing Blaire's hand in mine, unable to control myself. "Ouch," she said, prying her palm away from me. "The dragon—," "— Alaric," Blaire said. My wolf growled low, angry she even spoke his name. She put both palms up and cringed. Scotty shook his head at her, giving her a clear warning to drop it. "He came to Blaire in a dream just now, and … said if I marked her he would kill my family, but make each of yo

I must have misheard him, right? There was no way in Hell Axel asked to marry my sister. And he better pray it was Selene and not Jessica. Either way, I wanted to rip his throat out, but Jessica was hardly eighteen-years-old.It didn't matter anyway, because my wolf wasn't having it.My eyes dilated, and I felt vibrations form on my skin, pushing me forward, only inches away from Axel. He didn't budge, in fact, he looked amused at my outburst."I'm going to assume you're talking about Selene, and if you want to keep your balls, I'd retract any ideas you have about either of my sisters."Axel took another drink of his glass. "Seems to me you're in need of my help, not the other way around. Plus, I don’t need your permission to pursue her. She's a grown shewolf, and I have every right to show her my interest."Tilting my head, I tried to stay calm, but rage swarmed inside of me. I felt Blaire's soft touch on the back of my arm. "Luther, calm down," she whispered."I am calm," I said thr

The conference room was full when I walked through the threshold. A neighboring pack, The Blood Moon Pack, mingled with my own. I was thankful they were willing to fight, but I felt the realization of just how difficult it would be when I saw the numbers. I took my place at the head of the table, noting Blaire hadn't made it inside with me yet. I turned back to get her when she walked inside, Marcus behind her. Blaire looked scared to death, so unlike her usual carefree personality. She took a seat beside me, her eyes cast downward into her lap. I hated seeing her that way. It wasn't the girl that walked into my office a few weeks before. "Thank you all for coming," I said, standing up to gain everyone's attention. The room fell into a hushed silence. "Thank you to Alpha Peter who has sent some of his best fighters to help us. We're here because my mate, Blaire Summers, has been marked by a dragon king—," "Marked?" Alpha Peters asked. "When was she marked?" he asked, leaning onto t

As if the conversation with my sister wasn't bad enough, Jessica barged into the room with terror written all over her face. I knew something was wrong with Blaire immediately. She'd looked so lost, confused, and hurt that he'd showed her their future.Now I stood at the head of the conference room, my fingertips tapping rhythmically against the wood, and anger soaring through my veins. Nothing about the situation at hand was okay. I hated that Axel was on his way to claim my sister, and that we had to team up with him just for a chance at saving my mate.A chance. It wasn't even certain the lycans and wolves could beat them, but nothing was going to keep me from trying. I'd die trying for her. Always. My wind twirled with the realization that only weeks before I was perfectly happy without my mate.I'd planned on leaving alone, making money and being the boss. How the tables had turned. Now I was seconds away from making a deal with Axel to save her.Marcus pulled out the seat next t
