All Chapters of Alpha Shane: Chapter 261 - Chapter 270

Pick your poison:Secret ~ The PiercesAs the World Caves In ~ Matt MalteseAdeaMy fingers dance along the soft hair that curls at the nape of Shane’s neck. Normally, I’d take this opportunity to kiss up his neck or enjoy the lack of distance between us, but I’m so frustrated, I can’t. Instead, I want to twist and pull the strands. By the Goddess’ grace, I somehow manage to hold back. I know he’d think I was joking with him and I’m not in a playful mood.There was something off about his promise. I can feel it in my bones. I knew he meant every word, but the look in his eyes was off. There was more. If only I could talk to Max. The other half of my mate wouldn’t hide things from me. He would answer my questions to the best of his ability.After the time I’ve spent with Shane, doubting him filled me with guilt. Even though I know he isn’t being completely honest with me. He’s holding back. While my mate says he wants to mark me, swears he will in every way possible, I’ve come to know

Scatterbrain ~ EmeiShane’s hand shot out, connected with Gabe’s chest, and pushed him back. Leo caught him, and my brows furrowed as I wondered if he was part of Shane’s pack. I didn’t remember him ever telling us where he came from, and maybe that was bad on our part. My eyes dropped to my best friend. He looked disheveled, but his eyes were worried as they took me in. He wore a baby blue dress shirt, but the buttons didn’t line up because one side hung lower than the other. He wore shorts I knew were his because they were tight and showed every curve of his body.Lifting my leg, I moved to step forward but didn’t even budge an inch. Because, of course, Shane held me still. Turning to once again tell Shane to let me go, my eyes widened when his face was a lot closer than I was expecting. He leaned down, his hair covered his forehead, and that one curl bounced right in front of his eye. I already knew what he was going to do. He grabbed my cheek possessively and kissed me. I smiled i

My skin heated, and it felt as if my blood were boiling. I don’t know which part I was more angry about. This woman being here in my space, the supposed plan to remove her from the premises, or the way Shane called her name. Was it a nickname? Maybe it was all the above that truly pissed me off. My gaze locked with Gabe’s and I gave him the ‘Am I the only one insane here?’ look, but he just shook his head reassuringly. So either I wasn’t, or the two of us were both equally crazy. Turning my focus back to Beka, I waited impatiently for what she’d say. My lip curled as she softened her eyes and pouted.“When you didn’t come back, I was worried. On top of that, you didn’t answer any of my texts.” She hunched her shoulders, making herself appear smaller. We’re taught this at a young age to show an aggressive male we were weak and meant no harm. My skin crawled as she leaned into him, invading his space. I bit back the whine in my throat as my insecure thoughts swirled through my mind.Is s

Aphrodite ~ Sam ShortInstinct told me I needed to protect myself. The need to wrap my arms around myself was strong, but Shane was everywhere. He lifted me and I wrapped my legs around his waist. My hands rested on his chest. He pressed a kiss to my hair, my forehead, my nose. Even as I wanted to escape this wretched feeling in my chest, I couldn’t help but burrow closer. My lashes fluttering to a close as he murmured my name. I swallowed the lump in my throat and let my hands fall as he placed me on the table.The sweet happiness that made me so giddy I ran from him was gone. And in its place a small hole. Pettiness, anger, and jealousy clawed at my chest. His shirt had ridden up less than an inch more and I would be on full display. My gaze trailed up the ridges and dips of his abdomen. Beneath the light, I noticed the light markings of scars on the back of his biceps and arms. Muscles turned to broad shoulders, but my gaze locked on my mark.Shane is mine.Always has been.Always

As soon as I came from the high Shane gave me, the anger came flooding back. And the bastard had the audacity to smile. I don’t know how he did it, but he saw everything. Well, I guess if we’d live multiple lives, he’d know everything about me. I didn’t understand why he could remember, while I couldn’t. His smirk turned into a shit-eating grin, pulling at both corners of his mouth, and my stomach flip-flopped. My pussy still spasmed in the aftermath of my orgasm, but Shane dropped his forehead to mine and laughed. I pushed against his chest, but with a twist of the wrist; I moaned and jerked against him. His shirt was soaked, and I spat it out. It was warm and wet where it fell against my thigh.Bastard.“What’s so fucking funny?” I snapped. Quickly, I swiped at the drool on my chin. The two parts of me waged a war; the one that loved him and the one that resented him. One second I was gushing for him and the next I wanted to punch the ass. His shoulders shook as he pulled his fingers
