All Chapters of Alpha Team - The First To Fall: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Phoenix’ POV That fucking prophecy is screwing with my head, even Augustus has been well and truly taken in by it. When Rose asked for my knife so she could sign the wretched book, Augustus felt reassured that she would have even more protection. Not the reaction I was expecting from him. He genuinely believes my brothers and Amarragh are the protectors the poem mentions and the thought of a demon being part of the mix intrigues him too. She was testing me by asking for my knife, and I don’t blame her, actions speak louder than words.Of course I will follow her anywhere and give her whatever she needs, even if the thought of her being in danger makes my guts turn over. The thing is, my girl has her grandmother’s fire and fighting spirit, and if she is this all-powerful witch that Amarragh seems to believe her to be, I don’t doubt that she will run head first towards danger in some misguided attempt to protect us. Us. As if her crazy little ass could do more damage than five Alpha wo

Phoenix’ POVWhen Rose signed the book, I felt it. A shift in the bonds I have with my brothers and Amarragh. I can’t understand or explain it. I also felt her bond form with Amarragh, and I would be lying if I said it wasn’t on my mind just a little bit. There is such a thin line between adoration and love.Everyone is outside, I haven’t picked up the scent of anyone coming back in, but I can’t shake the feeling we are being watched. Rose is mewling and bucking on my lap, desperate to come, and I’m hesitating because I can’t figure out who or what has eyes on us and I don’t want anyone else seeing her like that. I can only think of one option that won’t bring Rose’s wrath down on me if I deny her, so I grab the throw blanket which was neatly folded on the back of the sofa, slide out from under her and lay my body over hers, covering us both with the blanket.‘Come for me, baby girl.’ I seal my lips on hers and slide my hand into her leggings. A couple of gentle taps on her oversensi

Phoenix’ POV“An incubus. As in incubus and succubus? The demons who... who...” Rose can’t finish the sentence, so I finish it for her.“Fuck humans whilst they sleep.” The words taste bitter on my tongue. Demon or not, rape is rape. That is what the legends say. They prey on innocent, sleeping, defenceless humans.“Trax has never acted on that instinct. I’m not even sure he has it. I have never felt or sensed any sexual urges from him, only curiosity, at least not until...” Amarragh jumps in to defend the demon, but his words run away with him.“Until he heard us?” Rose finishes for him.“I didn’t mean to spy. I heard you first and the way you sounded made me feel different, high, like my body was lighter. Then the scent hit me, sweet and salty, it was so thick and heavy in the air... it overwhelmed me. Before I knew what was happening I stepped over the protective boundary, cloaked myself, and my feet carried me right to you. I... I always wondered what my father found so appealing,

Phoenix’ POV The air seems to move around us as Trax guides Rose through visualising the heat from the fire. Augustus is front and centre, watching through my eyes with curiosity about more than our mate’s magic. He is watching Trax just as much as I am. ‘It is not unheard of you know.’ His voice in my mind holds a hint of disbelief. ‘Just outdated and not spoken of anymore.’‘What isn’t unheard of?’ I ask, distracted by the sensation of the demon’s hands on Rose. I can feel the warmth being absorbed by my skin as if they are on my own shoulders, and the fact that I don’t hate it is fucking with my head.‘More than one mate. I haven’t heard of it happening in generations, but mixed, and multiple mates used to be common many, many moons ago. It was only after the wars, when the population of each race was so depleted, that mate bonds only formed within the same race. I think Rose is special. More than special as our mate. I believe her destiny is to bring all of the races together ag

Phoenix’ POV I don’t know if Rose has cottoned on to the fact that we have a mind link with Trax. She is only just getting the hang of using it with me and my brothers, so for now I think I will use her ignorance to my advantage.‘Don’t do it yet. Make her beg and plead. She does it so well and she will enjoy it more the longer we make her wait for it.’ I speak into the demon’s mind and let him know how to get the best out of her. The thought of him penetrating her, and her begging him for it... has my blood up, and not in the murderous way I expected. ‘She smells too good. How do you ever put her down?’ his eyes darken to pure pitch black as he looks up at me with the same hunger I feel. He is well on his way to joining me in my addiction and I’ll be fucked if I don’t love the idea of dragging him under with me.“I need to taste you first little one. May I...?” he asks permission again, taking his promise literally. I would tell him he doesn’t need to ask before every touch, but I
