Third Person's POV After searching the last room on his side of the hall, Maverick decides to see if Grayson has found anything in the Alpha's suit. As he enters, he finds Grayson slowly turning in the living room. As he completes his turn, he looks at Maverick with a defeated expression and throws his hands in the air. “Nothing! I was sure he was in here!”“Do you mind if I take a look?” “Sure, be my guest,” Grayson said as he walked past to find Coal. Maverick listened to Grayson's footsteps and waited until they were far enough away, then allowed Shade to come forward with him. “All right, Shade, do your thing. He has to be here,” Maverick said as the scent of smoke began to fill the room.There were two halls off the living room, one on each side of the room. Maverick turns left, choosing the hall leading West. In each room they enter, Shade looks for a spell hiding a room as he searches for another wolf's mind. “Shit!” Maverick mumbles when he enters the second room, and Sha
Third Person's POV As Grayson pulls into the driveway leading into Mark's pack, all of his men, following on foot, disperse, spreading out to surround the pack and invade as each person reaches their designated entry point. As Grayson reaches the gateless guardhouse, the guard scrambles to his feet and out of the building. Grayson doesn't bother slowing down; he continues driving past at 45 mph, nodding with a smile at the shocked guard as they drive past. “Good thing he didn't jump in front of you. For some reason, I don't think you would have stopped,” Tate said, looking back at the guard. Grayson's red eyes sparkled with mischief as he smirked at Tate. “Nope! Chunks of him would have been everywhere,” Grayson said, and Maverick laughed. “I like him,” Maverick said, nudging his thumb toward Grayson. Grayson flashed him a smile through the rear-view mirror. “Sweet! Does that mean we're best friends now? I don't want a chess set, I want checkers. That should be easier since the
Third Person's POV Maverick enters his apartment, and his nose scrunches as the disgusting scent of vinegar assaults his nose. His nose burns, and his eyes sting as the vial fumes of vinegar assault him. He's nearly gagging as he holds his hand in front of his face to shield it. Looking between his fingers, he quickly finds his little Angel, humming away in the kitchen. Azalea looks over her shoulder and giggles when she finds her big, tough Alpha, green and on the verge of vomiting. “It looks like I found your weakness,” Azalea teased as she walked to the sliding glass door and slid it open. “What in Goddess's name are you doing? What is that stench?” Maverick asked, his eyes watering from the sting. “Pickling!” Azalea said cheerfully. “I'm pickling pickles and peppers! It's my mother's recipe. She has the best pickled peppers I've ever had! Well, I suppose they are the only pickled peppers I've ever had. But still! They're the best!” Azalea said, pointing her finger to drive he
Brandon's POV I don't know which was louder, the sound of the chains as I pull on them, or the sound of my growl as I tense every muscle while this bastard drags his claws across my stomach. My jaws snap as I lunge forward, aiming to take a chunk out of the side of his face when he gets a little too close. Unfortunately for me, the bastard was too fast, and he moved just out of reach and laughed at me. “Oh, you almost got me!” The bastard teased, laughing at me. I felt blood rolling down my sides from the cut his claw made from one hip bone to the other.I spit in his face, and he flinched forward as though he would punch me. I didn't give Mark the satisfaction of flinching away. That only seemed to piss him off and he growled as he extended his claws and dragged them from my right shoulder to my left hip. I gritted my teeth and tried not to make a sound. I succeeded until I felt the faint pain bouncing back from Leo. It broke me knowing he felt my pain as though it were his own. I
Third Person's POV Leo sat in his dad's lap, wrapped up in his arms with his twin brother beside him for extra comfort and support. They sat in Grayson's office on the couch to the right of the door. Theo's fingers gently combed through his son's hair as he hummed a little tune. EJ's thumb absent-mindedly caresses Ollie hand as he reads Anders’ reply, hoping someone over there has heard something. They look up when the door opens, and Grayson, Coal, Tate, Xavier, and Damien enter the office. Grayson's eyes light up when he sees the person sitting behind his desk. He crosses the room in an instant, and the Delta 3 squeaks as he's plucked out of his mate's chair. Sebastian smiles, wrapping his arms around the king's neck as Grayson presses his nose against his scent gland and takes a deep breath in. “Goddess, I missed you!” Grayson mumbled against his skin, and Sebastian giggled at his needy Alpha, who was only gone for four hours. The Alpha King sat down in his chair with his mat
Third Person's POV Leo nervously paced outside the hospital room, hoping they would find a heartbeat. He doesn't want him to die, at least not before he gets answers. The door opens, and Leo spins around, eager for news. Alpha Mike approaches the nervous Omega. He rubs his hands along Leo’s arms, trying to calm him. “He's not awake yet. They're still trying to remove the wolfsbane. Whoever did this loaded him up with so much that they nearly killed him, but we managed to save him. He had a heartbeat, but it was just so weak we couldn't feel it. They're cleaning his blood as we speak. It was the only way to save him. They couldn't use the antidote yet because there's too much poison in his system, and it would have taken too long. Once they've removed enough, they can give him the antidote. He's not going to be awake for a while. There's not much else we can do here. Why don't you let me take you home?” Mike said.Leo's lip trembles, and he shakes his head. “No! This is the last p
