All Chapters of Owned By The Dangerous Alpha: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

J U L I A NCalix hopped off his Harith, his frustration bubbling over. “Can you believe this crap?” he exclaimed. I totally got why my younger brother was so worked up, but his dramatic flair was starting to wear on me. “It’s a directive from the Council of Wolves. Honestly, I’m surprised you even showed up,” River replied, arms crossed over his broad chest. His deep voice carried the same irritation I was feeling. While Calix looked like he was ready for a magazine cover, all polished and perfect, River had that rugged vibe that screamed danger. He was decked out in worn jeans with ripped knees, a dark tee splattered with red paint, and a flannel shirt that had definitely seen better days. His tough boots and scruffy beard from his recent getaway just added to that raw masculinity we both inherited. There were already a few dozen wolves milling around, all Alphas in their own right. More were expected to show up. The Wolfen rules were no joke—punishments could be severe, inclu

J U L I A NIt had been a rough week, and things took a turn for the worse with a call from one of my brothers.And then there was the stunning woman who had dismissed me like I was nothing.Sure, I might have come on a bit too strong, but her response felt unnecessarily cruel.Oh, the drama of it all."What’s so important that you had to track me down after sending a 9-1-1 text?"I stormed out of the club and into the parking lot. Thankfully, anyone who knew me well enough wouldn’t dare approach me at night unless it was a real emergency.And it had been ages since there was one.At least it was my younger brother on the line; otherwise, I might have let my frustration loose."I was told to find you, Julian. Believe me, I didn’t want to interrupt my basketball game to play messenger for Mom."Our mother, the queen bee of the family. She never missed a chance to remind everyone of her status.After the earlier meeting, I had expected her call. She had bolted from the park, leaving the

S U M M E R"How can you tell? Is it my accent?" I had been informed that I carried a hint of a Virginia twang, a comment I only encountered after moving to Chicago for university.He chuckled, and the sound sent a rush of excitement through me, like fireworks. "Not really. It's easy to spot someone from a big city compared to the locals.""True enough. I’m from Richmond, Virginia. That’s where I grew up.""Why Cambridge? Not that I don’t appreciate the stunning scenery, but it’s quite a distance from home.""Simply put, I got a job offer."That was a bit of a stretch.Well, not entirely."I applied to around sixty forensic positions across the country. Most of the time, I was ignored, laughed at for my lack of experience, or told to come back when I was older. Seriously." As I turned to face him, I couldn’t help but gaze at him like a smitten girl.He took my words at face value, removing his jacket and rolling up his long white sleeves. His forearms were just as muscular as the rest

S U M M E RExhausted and dazed.There couldn't be two more fitting words in English. My vision was blurry, but I wanted to take in the sight of the massive man looming over me like a true ruler of the night.After a few blinks, I finally managed to pull his stunning figure out of the overwhelming haze of desire. His outfit, while perfectly tailored to his muscular frame, still didn’t do him justice.He was built like... well, there really wasn’t a word that could capture it. Broad shoulders, a chiseled abdomen, a slim waist, powerful legs, and striking forearms—all wrapped up in a towering six-foot-four frame of pure allure.And the things he could do with his tongue? Definitely sinful.Once he was fully undressed, he didn’t waste any time before returning to the bed. His intense, almost dangerous aura lingered. The shadows in the room danced wildly, as if they had a life of their own, creating a bizarre yet captivating backdrop.Even the moonlight seemed to caress his skin, giving i

S U M M E RIt didn't take long for me to check the clock again. I wasn't shocked to see that an hour had passed. The findings were not what I had anticipated. After comparing the samples, all I found were those belonging to the victim. The blood matched.I still had a few more tests to conduct, capable of detecting even the tiniest traces of foreign DNA, but I wasn't feeling optimistic at this stage.I had determined that the claw marks were too large to belong to any bear native to this area. They resembled wolf prints, but no wolf I knew could leave such massive marks.I was stuck on how to wrap up the report.With a sigh, I took off the headgear that held the microscope light and stepped back. Maybe a cup of coffee would clear my head. We had a trusty Keurig in the lab, even though I had suggested it be moved to the break room. Today, I was thankful they ignored me.As the coffee brewed, I reflected on the results so far.Using an ambiguous label wouldn’t sit well with anyone, but
