All Chapters of The Alpha Within Her: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

WREN“NO!” Lucius yells as he walks away from me.“Lucius, we’re in trouble. We need help!” I follow him out to the spot where he chops his wood.“Forget it, Wren. Not happening?” He grabs a log and places it on a stump and grabs his axe. He swings it up and brings it down on the log, splitting it in two.I sigh in frustration. “Lu. What are you going to do when the rest of the Nomads come down on us? Devlin was right. We can’t fight all of them.”He picks up a half and puts it on the stump. He swings and splits in quarters. “We’ll fight. Just like we always have.” He splits the other half into quarters.He picks up the wood and carries it to his fire. Squatting down, he throws one piece onto the burning pile.“You can’t fight everyone, Lu. You don’t have the fighters!” I flail my arms out to the side.He stands and leans close. “I’m not calling the fucking Alliance, Wren. Drop it!” He growls.“Lucius, please be reasonable here. We have the manpower, the weapons. We can get you anythi

WREN“There’s no service!” Luke spins around, holding his phone up to the sky as he walks around the clearing toward the village.I look back. “No. You need satellite phones.”He throws his arms up. “Well, how the hell am I going to play my Playlist now?”“Stop complaining, Alpha.” Alexi walks beside him.He scowls. “Babe, you know I like to fire guns to music.”“You’d be surprised how much you can live without, Luke.” I turn and walk backwards.“Hey, if I can’t hear Black Sabbath at least once a day, I’m grumpy as hell, alright.” He stuffs his hands in the pockets of his jeans.Alexi huffs. “I swear. It’s like dealing with a child.”He points to her. “Hey. This child rocks your world every night, Ok. Remember that.”She rolls her eyes and shakes her head. I laugh and turn back around.We get half way across the clearing and Lucius is standing at the village entrance. His chest is out and his arms are crossed. He has a threatening look on his face.Luke leans to me. “Is that him?”I n

WRENAfter Lucius' serenade last night, I’m feeling light headed this morning. It was so spontaneous and romantic. My heart swooned as he sang. It brought back all kinds of memories of him playing songs for me when we were kids. I loved it then and I love it even more now.I was lost in daydreams of the past, carrying a load of wood in my arms to the wood pile by the big fire. It was all good until the pile in my arms shifted and I started dropping wood.“Shit.” I look down at the pieces on the ground.“I’ve got it.” Lucius come running and he bends down and picks them up.“Thanks.” I smile.He takes a few more pieces from me. “No problem. I’m going hunting later. Want to come?”“On two legs?” I raise a brow.He chuckles as we walk toward the fire pit. “Yeah. Sorry about my wolf. He can be an ass.”I smile. “It’s fine. I actually….”I was cut off by yelling coming from the training field.“DRAGONS!”I look at Lucius and he looks at me wide eyed.I drop the wood. “GET THE CHILDREN TO T

LUCIUS“Good morning, sexy.” I’m woken up the next morning by soft lips on my eyelid and the tip of my nose.My eye opens to a slit. “My little songbird is singing to me. I could get used to this.” I smirk.She giggles as she runs circles with her nails through my hair.The morning sun is creeping through the treetop canopy. The morning air is crisp. A bit chilly on my bare chest. I turn to face Wren and pull the furs up around her shoulders.“Good morning.” I whisper. “Good sleep?”She nods. “Definitely better than my tent.” She smiles.“Mmm….My beds a bit warmer.” I pull her naked body to mine.I rub my nose against hers.“Yeah, it is.” She giggles.I roll over on top of her. Planting my lips on hers. Her lips part and I deepen the kiss.I can already smell her arousal and it goes straight to my dick. Her lavender scent, swirling around my head, was driving me crazy. I had to have her now.“Hey, Lu! You up?”I stop with Wrens pouty, bottom lip in my teeth. I growl.It’s Luke.Wren g

WREN I’m not alone. Not anymore. My love for Lucius may not be the same, but it’s true. He may be harsh. Roughed up by the wild forest, but I found him. The Lu I loved before the Dragons brought death to our door. He’s right. He is the same Lucius. He’s just more somehow. Strong, brave, yet gentle. He knocked down my defenses and I sunk. I’m drowning in his ocean blue eyes, completely in love with the Alpha of the forest. I smile from my perch in the treetops while I make some improvements. I strap the extra quiver and arrows to the platform when I hear him call. “What are you doing?” I lean over the edge and peer down. I smile because he’s been gone all day hunting. I grab the rope tied to the tree and swing to the platform he’s next to and jump down. “Hi.” I chirp. He smiles. “You really like it up there.” He points to the sky. I look up. “I do.” I look back at him. “How was hunting?” He turns to walk toward his cabin, or I should say our cabin now since he insisted, I mo
