All Chapters of Chicago Alpha: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Antonio's P.O.V~24 hours before~Calling upon my allies was the easy part of our plan, but once they arrived on my pack lands, I had the hard part of trying to convince them to join the fight. A few of my close allies, like Alpha Brantley of New York, Alpha Williams of St. Louis, and Alpha Phillip of Nashville, were the first to come to my aid without questions.They had my back on many occasions, as I had theirs. When they learned that the situation involved my mate being taken, they were angry. It didn't matter that my mate was not normal. The laws of the Moon Goddess prohibit werewolves from getting in between mates. Though, what was hard was convincing the others; there was a mix of emotions because no one wanted to cross the inner circle or council as they liked to call themselves.I never understood why some of the Alpha's were so scared of these older men. They were betas, for heaven's sake, and as an Alpha, we outpowered them. Perhaps tradition just made it hard for people to

Clarissa's P.O.V.The dim light of morning shined through the open window, and as I opened my eyes, I watched the dust particles dancing within the ray of light that touched the wall. I couldn't help but lay within the safety of the blankets and think about everything that had transpired over the last few months.Pain radiated through my body as my body tried to rid itself of the toxins that had been pumped into me while I was captive. Brantley had been so sweet to take care of me until I could be united back with Antonio.Groaning, I managed to slowly sit up and sling my legs over the edge of the bed. My head spun as I steadied myself, slowly standing to my feet.Why couldn't I be normal?The question constantly plagued my thoughts, and I couldn't stop it. I wasn't like the rest of them. I was a quiet, reserved girl with a creative mind. I wasn't made for a world of blood and chaos, and I didn't know if I had it in me to be a leader.All the confidence I once held was shattered when m

Clarissa's P.O.V.Brantley kicked my ass with all the workouts he was putting me through. I couldn't begin to understand why squats were important in training, but if he had me do one more, I was pretty sure my legs would fall off.I stood in the shower for what seemed forever, allowing the hot water to run over my sore muscles. I couldn't remember the last time a shower had felt so amazing, and then again, I couldn't remember the last time I worked out. Shortly after our training session, Brantley ran to town to grab a few supplies, and I welcomed his leave to have time for myself to relax. The shower was the only way I knew to find solace and comfort, and man, this shower did the trick."Clarissa!" I heard my name being called from the other room, and I groaned in disapproval.Turning off the shower, I wrapped a towel around me. "What?" I hollered, unsure of why he would interrupt me during my meditation, a.k.a shower time. "When you finish, come out here. I have something for you.

Antonio's P.O.V.Looking at Phillip and Joseph, I was speechless.Leah made sense. Everything she said made sense.As if the pain had reappeared, I gripped my chest, slowly rubbing it. The ghostly pain I had felt from Clarissa was as if my heart was being ripped out. What if what Leah said was true? What if Clarissa's heart was breaking because Brantley said something to break her?How was I supposed to show her that I was still there and keep her from breaking our bond, if that was even possible? "Leah, if you want to redeem yourself, then stay and help bring Clarissa home. I know that you both don't like each other, but she is my mate and your Luna. We need to save her before she is hurt."Leah nodded her head and slowly made her way towards Thomas. Thomas wrapped his arm around his mate, and the love and concern he held in his eyes for her broke my heart. That is what I wanted. To wrap my arms around Clarissa and never let her go. "So, another idea," Leah whispered. Sighing, I g

Antonio's P.O.V.I smelt them before I could see them, and Zeus was mad and in a frenzy as he howled in anger, running towards where their scent led. Joseph and Thomas were hot on my tail as we rushed through the wooded area towards my mate and their Luna.All I wanted to do was to rip Brantley apart, and I would as soon as I saw him. He would face our wrath as my teeth tore through his skin like butter. The thought of savoring the taste of his blood made the hunger of my wolf grow.As we came into a clearing, I watched the vehicle peel out of the drive, and I didn't hesitate to smash into the vehicle, hoping to throw it off the road. I had to stop them, no matter what. The boys joined me as we rushed after the car.Thomas was hitting the back end, causing the vehicle to swerve slightly as it sped on further. I was much faster than Thomas and Joseph, but eventually, the car was too fast for me, and I watched it disappear off the dirt road and onto the main highway.Shifting back, I fis
