Chp 2: One last job
Last Updated:
2025-05-16 15:50:42My heart leapt to my throat at the sound. I turned around but saw no sign of another wolf. The air itself felt empty. I was all alone.
I quickly realized that I was stark naked and reached for my clothes to cover up. I dressed up in a haste while looking around to make sure I was indeed alone. The sound must have come from a passing animal. Maybe a hare. With my senses, I searched nearby but couldn't pick up any scent except that of a giant bush rat. Once I was done wearing my clothes, I rushed out of the woods and found myself in a rather quiet street. ***** I had never worked in Jefferson City before. My reasons were obvious. Pack members ran businesses among the humans here. Werewolves were all over the place. It wouldn't take long to run into one or more of them if I dared stick around. Then they would drag me back and force me into the very life that I escaped. I looked up in the sky as I made my way down the quiet street. The sun had begun to travel west. I increased my pace, realizing that I had lost track of time in the few hours that I was in the woods. I should not be here at all. Today was a full moon. A dangerous day to stick around until dusk. In fact, I should not be anywhere near wolf territory at sunset. There was just one thing I had to do before I left. Get my money from Krystal. I would leave the moment I had my cash. I reached the end of the street when I felt someone's attention. I didn't turn around but was sure it was one of my new friends. They found me too soon this time. It was not possible that they followed me into the woods, so how come? Fear began to take hold of me. I decided to lose them quickly before seeing Krystal for my money. I couldn't let them know what city I was headed next. I could feel their eyes on me, and the feeling grew too intense by the second. I had to turn around. They stayed hidden this time. I looked all about but saw no sign of Pinnochio or his human friend with the fancy cornrow braids. I kept going till I reached a busy diner. Then I turned on my phone and began to dial a cab when I looked again and saw the human. He was alone. As usual, when our eyes met, he looked away. His friend had to be nearby. I was sure because I could sense a werewolf around. I tried to guess where he was watching from but couldn't. He stayed well-hidden. I gave one last glance at the human stalker before slipping out of the queue at the diner. Then I set out to lose him for real. Krystal was waiting impatiently, according to her text. Apart from my money, she claimed she had something good for me. I was dead curious about the 'something good' and eager to get my money. I took my stalkers round and round the city, and in an hour, I lost all sense of their presence. Once satisfied that they were no longer on my trail, I proceeded to go meet my one friend. The sun was beginning to set. ***** I got to the street address Krystal texted no sooner than I liked. The driver stopped in front of what looked like a large fourplex building by the side of the busy street. My heart was in my throat as I got out of the cab. In front of the building was a bold signboard with cursive letters. The Hurricane Night Club, it read. It was not yet sun down, but the lights illuminating the bold alphabets had been turned on. My instincts screamed for me to call back the cab and have him take me straight out of this zip code. The building was intimidating and smelled of werewolves. The type I should avoid. As much as I wanted to see Tessa again, I did not wish to get dragged back to the Night Storm. I turned around and began to walk away when Krystal's voice rang out, "Raven, over here! C'mon." I stopped but didn't go to her. Then she ran over and pulled me along by the wrist. Into the building. "C'mon. Kingpin is waiting!" Krystal was my only friend. She was human and lived here in Louisiana. She was the one who first introduced me to this job, promising a fortune. '"You've got the face and body, gurl. You can make it big,"' she'd said. I'd quickly confirmed that she wasn't lying about the money part. Dancing half-naked in front of hõrny human men was quite lucrative. The cash was my single motivation. Because of the job, I could afford to wander anywhere and didn't have any money worries. As long as I worked four nights a week, that is. As she pulled me by the wrist now, I followed without protest into the building. I would be out of here in a moment. My senses remained alert, scanning the place for danger. By danger, I meant werewolves. We soon entered a well-lit office with floor to ceiling glass windows. "She's here," said Krys to a tall bald guy. "I told you she'll come." The man's eyes moved over me appreciatively. Then he nodded. "Welcome to the Hurricane. Raven, is it?" I could hardly pay attention. Something felt wrong. The unmistakable smell of a werewolf was right inside this very office. It was faint but not undetectable. "I'm sorry, this is a mistake," I said, backing away. Then I opened the door and ran out. Krystal was at my heels, calling out to me. I ignored her and kept going. I was close to the stairs when I caught sight of a familiar figure near the door. A human male with neatly braided cornrows decorated with tiny fake seashells. I halted, shocked as the dark-skinned guy strode into the club. How was it possible that he found me again? Within an hour? He kept looking around as he walked nonchalantly further inside. It didn't take long before his eyes found me. This was the part where he looked away and pretended he was interested in something other than me. But instead, he smiled and winked.

Alpha Jett Chp 42: Alpha's feelings
Jett POVI left the mansion at six minutes before 7 PM and didn't plan to end up in my Chief Gamma's office. The thing was, Sabrina and I were supposed to go out for dinner, like Clove advised. We were to leave at 7. I was so sure she wouldn't be ready yet. Females took longer to dress up. Everyone knew that.I was ready. And Sophie was not back. So I came out of my chamber to check if she was on her way up. This check was necessary because it was past time for them to bring her back. But there was no sign of her or her warriors. I'd ordered the new head servant to leave all punishment to me. No one was to lay a finger on her for any reason, and especially not for this morning's incident. Punishing her was my sole right. No one else's. They wouldn't go against my order. Yet I'd been restless as hell.The idea of calling Vera or Kyle to ask why they weren't back was unappealing. Those two already suspected that I cared too much for the girl, and they were not alone. I shouldn't give
Alpha Jett Chp 41: Price for help
Sophie POVAndy stopped smiling. For a moment, he looked like he was deep in thought. What was he expecting when I said I needed help?"You want me to help you get out of here or show you how to protect yourself from the pain?" He asked with a slight frown. "I mean, I saw the way you looked at those two, Sophie Nile. I'm sure it hurts you deeply to see them like that every day. I've heard stories. But leaving the pack again? That's a bit dramatic.""I don't belong here, Chief," I said. "And the stories you heard? All of it is true. It hurts. If I'm far from here, I won't feel the pain. Please, help me.""But you're wrong, Sophie. You will feel pain. The distance will make your wolf yearn for her mate. There's only one way to take care of heartbreak. You really wanna know my price? You can't pay it if you disappear, pet.""I have a lot of money in the human world," I insisted. "I can wire it to you once I leave."He laughed briefly, shaking his head. "That's right. I heard you were fo
Alpha Jett Chp 40: Desperation
Sophie POVThe hateful female who was Jett's fiancée stood in front of the ladder staring up at me. I half-expected her to shake the ladder and make me lose my balance. I didn't spare her a glance soon enough. Jett's eyes held mine like a spell. He knew the apology was fake."She must be flogged, Alpha! Chief Marquez, you must see to it!" I forced my eyes from the Alpha's to regard his fiancée and chief warrior. "Why the hell is she wearing jeans?" The question was directed at the new head of servants. The female seemed too anxious to answer. It felt like she'd only just realized that I wasn't wearing the regular clothes. It was Jett who replied,"Those work clothes are too big for her."Apparently, the poor fiancée didn't know that her mate-to-be had them bring me new clothes, huh. Why was he acting so confusing? Moments ago, I'd caught how his eyes skimmed my body.Yesterday, he'd ordered them to let me take the whole day off to "fully recover." I also got two meals. The first ca
Alpha Jett Chp 39: Alpha morning patrol
Jett POVThere had been many females in my life. Of the two Chase brothers, I was the playboy back in Tauranga. I had my share of women, both she-wolves and humans. The fact that merely touching a girl's hand had gotten me all excited was laughable. But it was also proof that I needed to be on my guard around the raven. According to the tales, it became more difficult to let go if you dared get intimate with your fated mate. I left the window as this thought struck. As I walked out of the library, I decided that Clove was a hundred percent right. I needed to start showing seriousness with Sabrina. That should get my heart and head back on track. My wolf raised a silent protest, but I ignored the gnawing feeling in my chest. Thank Fate, I was in control, not him.I entered the hallway, and instead of going to my study, I decided to go for a patrol round the pack to make sure all was as it should be. Alphas often did these types of rounds unannounced and without schedule. It was the b
Alpha Jett Chp 38: Flowers or chocolate
Jett POVClove looked like he had a lot to say. We hadn't had time to chat because of business, internal and external. He waited patiently now as I gulped down the bottle of cool water. I finished and tossed the empty in the trash. "What the update, Beta? Any leads on the assailant in the woods?""No, Alpha. In fact, I fear we've reached a dead end." He looked slightly ashamed. "What about the other part?""I'm still on it. All we know for now is that Sophie Nile has been in the city of the Crimson Lake for sure. But we've also learned that she moved about a lot, so I feel it's not enough to prove she's involved with that pack."That last bit gave me tiny relief. "I see." No matter what, I didn't want to learn that Raven was indeed a spy for the Crimson Lake pack. I would wonder why later, not now.I tried to pay attention as Clove began speaking again,"The elders know Sophie Nile. Her mother was kind of famous for a time. Alpha Laz's favorite prostïtute, as they called her." He m
Alpha Jett Chp 37: Helpers and opportunist
Sophie POV"He's treating you badly, isn't he?" Tessa asked."I'm in the hospital!" I replied. "Shelly Sandner, the evil mistress. You remember her, right?""Of course, I do. Oh, no!" She cried."Yeah," I replied. "Now if you care even just a little bit, you'll get your Alpha to help me!"It didn't matter to me that my chief jailer was standing right there. I glanced at him. His face was as straight as a wall. Like the conversation had nothing to do with him. He also looked like he had no intention of giving me privacy. "Do you mind?" I barked, motioning at the door. "I need privacy."He began to step back, and I thought he would oblige me, but he went and leaned against the door and crossed his arms.Only then did I notice that he had pulled up his sleeves, revealing the powerful muscles of strong, nicely tanned flesh. It was an effort to tear my eyes away. Thankfully, Tessa began speaking again,"Where are you locked up? Is it near the farms? What did the mistress do to you? She as
