All Chapters of The Alpha's Private Dancer : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Gianna had climbed into her car, and she seemed determined to head home; I was just unable to determine whether that meant with or without me. But, one thing I had established was that my words seemed to be irrelevant to her. I had hoped telling her what Jaxon had learned would have been enough to put a falter in her plans. But, right now she seemed as determined as previously to leave. This was not the way things were meant to go. I needed her to see the situation the way I did...“Gianna, please. I beg of you. Consider my offer of help?” I climbed into the seat next to her, taking her by surprise. I knew I was pushing my luck, but I was not about to let this girl walk out of my life. Not so easily. She had come into my life unexpectedly, and I had not been able to stop thinking of her since. There had to be a reason for that. No, she may not be my fated mate, but there was a draw to her. One I cannot logically explain. Fate does everything for a reason... that is what we are taught.

I was terrified. The car was following us, it had to be. Not to mention the fact some fucker had shot at us. It was Dalton. It had to be. I didn’t know anybody else who would want to shoot me… or I’d like to think I didn’t. I hadn't done anything to piss anyone off that much. The only person holding a grudge against me was Dalton. He was after me, we knew that, so it seemed logical the shot had been him. But shooting? It seemed so drastic. Did he want to kill me? Make this final?I had wasted no time in getting away from the parking area when Mason had told me to leave. We needed to get away. I did not want to sit around and allow them to try to shoot at us again. Mason had said they had been close the first time. What if the second time they hit us? I did not want to die. I did not want Mason to die because of me. No. I needed to do all I could to make sure we got away. But it was proving difficult with a car on my tail.A car that was taking the exact same turns I was. It was taili

My body trembled, through fear or through shock I wasn't sure. “Mark him.” Noushka mumbled. Her words had made my stomach twist as my heart felt like it fell through the floor. She was crazy… Why would she be thinking like that? That thought had not even crossed my mind, so why in holy hell was it crossing the mind of my wolf?!Mark him? The words repeated again. He was not my mate! We were not fated… not even close… we had been virtually strangers until recently… why did my wolf think marking him would be the right thing to do? Imagine what Mason would think if he were here and heard her suggesting that?!‘No.’ I hissed to my wolf. Angry she would even suggest such a thing. In fact, I was sure she was losing her mind. She had to be, to even be thinking something like that. You do not mark someone for no reason. Maybe I had hit my head harder than we had realized, and it was affecting my wolf. Yes, that had to be the most likely explanation for her absurd suggestion. ‘We cannot do tha

The tenderness upon my neck had been a slight giveaway, though in all fairness, there was tenderness all over my body in that instant. I felt like I had been put through a fucking meat grinder. But the thing that told me Gianna had marked me was the moment I had come around was the unexpected connection we now shared, that had not been there before. I was blown away by the sensation...I could not believe she had marked me in order to save me, and Echo had giddily explained to me what had happened. But, I could not feel the same excitement. She hadn’t marked me because she wanted to. She marked me because she felt she had to. Because her wolf was urging her to in order to save me.But hearing Gianna say there had been no hesitation on her part when her wolf explained it made me feel a little better. All until she said I could reject her once I was better. At that moment my heart felt like it had been stomped upon. But I had no time to deal with that because now there was somebody outs

My heart raced, my palms became sweaty, and my stomach dropped all within the same moment as those words echoed through my mind. “Hello Gianna. I told you I would be back for you, didn’t I?” I knew that voice anywhere. That voice had tortured me for too many years, and even after I had escaped him, his voice still plagued my dreams. And he had told me he would be back for me. I had just hoped and prayed that I would be able to escape him. That I would find a way to flee before he found me...But I had failed in my plan. He had found me. Dalton had found me.My whole body trembled at his mere presence, as I did not know what to say to him. I hated that he still had this effect upon me. I may have become stronger as a person, but the memories of what he had done to me were not so easily erased. My mind and that of my wolf seemed to slip into autopilot the moment his scent hit our senses. The second we knew he was near. It was like we were back there. Back in our worst nightmare...“Do y
