Chapter 9:Mission 2
Just as I was preparing for the next play in my little game, I was temporarily sidelined. I arrived back at the ranch after the exhausting discussion with Drake, only to find an envelope on my kitchen table. I had not put it there, so it had to be another assignment from the council. After making sure all my doors were locked, I opened the envelope. It contained instructions on when to be at the airfield and what to bring. I was surprised to learn I would be going to the headquarters here in the states. I was needed for some type of interrogation and persuasion mission. Easy enough I thought. I quickly grabbed my prepacked mission bag and waited for my ride to show up. While waiting I mind-linked Bo and let him know I would be gone for a while. I assured him there was nothing to worry about and all was fine. I couldn't really lie to my brother and I hadn't told him who I was working for yet, so

The Game Chapter 10:Trying to Ignore
I arrived back at the little airfield near home late at night and unannounced, much to my relief. I am very thankful no one, especially Drake knew I was arriving. There was a truck waiting for me with a note that said thanks for a great job and turning a new asset. It was signed by my commanding officer and said to enjoy the gift. I knew my assignments had the potential to come with pretty nice perks, but I figured it would be awhile before I saw any. I stare at the red extended cab truck and am in awe and appreciation. In the driver's seat I find another envelope with keys and the title in my name. I slide into lush leather seats and quickly realize this truck has all the extras, including heated and cooled seats. I excitedly start my new truck and drive straight to the ranch. I have a plan for squashing this mate idea that Dra
The Game This Can't Be Happening
An emergency call from a neighboring pack, caused Alpha Drake to be gone for a few days. I was relieved to not worry about seeing him, yet I felt hollow and lonely in his absence. Those feelings rapidly gave way to anger and then fear. My stomach bug didn't go away but I didn't need a doctor to tell me what was wrong. Wolves are extremely sensitive to changes in our body chemistry. So unfortunately I knew way before a pregnancy test that I was pregnant. First I am angry because how could Drake let this happen, how could I? We should have had more control. Next the fear begins, what am I going to do? I ponder raising a cub since I had always wanted children so I allow my mind to drift lazily into a daydream of a boy in a yard playing. I smile and let out a happy contented sigh until I see the boy's eyes. Those eyes, his eyes. Snap out of my revelry and begin to freak out because it is His kid. There will be no way to hide the fact and I couldn't see Drake all the time and lie to him e
The Game A Silly Little Game
A silly little game, that is all it was supposed to be but it turned to so much more. It was four years ago and I was fourteen. It was my brother's going away party. At sixteen male werewolves go to academy to serve in the military and prepare for their adult roles in the pack. My brother Bo and his best friend Drake were leaving the next day. The adults had already called it a night and the teenagers had somehow ended up in the basement playing truth or dare, typical dumb kid stuff. When it came to Drake's turn, he was challenged to draw a name from a cup and go play seven minutes in heaven with them. He drew my name. I had always had a crush on Drake and this was my chance. He was gorgeous and every girl wanted him but it was my chance to show him how I felt. He nearly choked as he read my name allowed, but in the end he reached his hand out to me and said come on kiddo in his thick Texas accent. I slowly
The Game Homecoming
As I sit in first class on the flight back to Texas, all I can think of is Drake. He has been the leading man in my fantasies and also the target of my rage for the past four years. I thought I would outgrow the urge to make him suffer over the years, but I have not. I still remember the hurt and humiliation I felt as he called me a silly little girl. I am a woman now. A curvy, strong, beautiful woman trained in manipulation. My years in Italy had changed me, I am no longer a shy tomboy with overalls and braids. I had left as Izzy and returned as Bella. My Italian family said Izzy was a child’s name and insisted on calling Bella if I refused to use my full name, Isabella. It fits now, in Italy I truly became Bella, a new grown-up version of myself. I look down at my designer dress and smile. It is perfect and looks perfect on me. It is short, stopping mid thigh and it clings to me showing off my ample
The Game The Game Begins
I awoke early in the morning and decided to go for a run. After my run I showered and changed into a pair of short denim shorts and a halter top. It was a hot day and I was going to be in the kitchen or out at the grill for quite awhile. I had my hair pulled up in a purposely messy bun and my feet were bare. I had steaks marinating, corn and potatoes already roasting and was putting a pan of brownies in the oven when I heard the screen door open and close. I assumed it was Bo and continued what I was doing. A startled squeak left my throat when I turned and saw Alpha Drake. He was standing against the door frame looking sexier than sin in faded jeans and a fitted t-shirt. Drake’s eyes were dark and his full lips were slightly turned up in a smirk. I crossed my arms and leaned against the counter. Trying to ignore the sexiness of him, I stated “ a gentleman would knock” I scolded. Drake was now in a full
The Game Kisses and Bears,Oh my
After I got out of the pool, I changed into a sundress and wedges then headed down stairs. When I entered the living room Alpha Drake was pacing with a furrowed brow and firmly set frown. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “You’re an alpha,” Drake stated. “Ummm yeah, so?” Drake shook his head, “You know each pack can only have one alpha. You are strong, it could cause problems. And there is another thing.” I assured Drake I was not going to cause problems. I let him know I was just looking to live on the ranch and keep to myself. I had no plans to use my power other than when an assignment required it. I would eventually find my mate and join him with his pack. Drake audibly growled when I mentioned a mate, perhaps because he is still searching for his. It is unusual to be unmated at twenty, normally wolves find their mate shortly after turning ei
The Game Bears, Rogues, and Battle
The next morning I tried to dress sexy but not seductive. I didn’t want Brad to be so caught up thinking about sex that he didn’t talk or that he got frustrated when he didn’t get sex. There are few things I won’t do for work but sex is a hard no. I ended up picking a flowy country dress from the provided clothing and paired them with boots. Cute and functional, flirty but not sleazy, that was my goal and I think I accomplished it. I pulled my hair back and tied it with a ribbon. Today I needed to be more the girl next door to get the information I needed. I took a shaky breath and then walked to the bar where Brad would be picking me up for the journey to the gang’s place. Unlike wolves, bears didn’t require large spaces of land outside of towns. The gang’s house was a modest home on the edge of town with a large garage. There were bikes everywhere and random scantily clad
The Game Anger and Desire
I drift off to sleep on the plane on the way back to Texas, only to awaken after having a very vivid dream or maybe I should say fantasy of Drake. I pour myself a drink and try to relax. I decided to change clothes and freshen up, just in case Drake met me at the airfield. Silly how I have to remind myself this is all just a game. I catch myself wanting him, wanting to please him, wanting to give myself to him. I have to remember that I want to hurt him, make him regret how he treated me. Lila, my wolf also reacts to Drake so strongly I constantly have to reign in. I continue to sip the burning alcohol that I am drinking, my excitement continues to grow at the thought of seeing Drake. Nothing could prepare me for what would happen when we landed.I step through the plane door and I see Drake standing there. My heart fluttered and it to
