Chapter 46: Irshiusts - Marcus
The longer I’m around Amelia the more captivated by her I become. Every new thing I learn about her just makes me love her more.
Did I just say 'love'? Yes, I did because I fucking do.
I love this strong, sexy woman more than all the stars in the universe. Maybe it’s too soon to say that to her, I don’t know. I fell for her the moment I saw her but locked in a room with her for three days confirmed, she is all I could ever want or need.
Sitting in on her meeting had me learning shit I never expected. I can’t believe Jasper at no point thought to tell me he can turn humans into wolves. I get why this isn’t public knowledge, but we’ve been like brothers since we were pups, so you’d think he’d have mentioned it at some point in the last twenty fucking years.
I nearly sprinted down to the cells to pummel the guy who tried to lay a hand on my animai; he’s lucky he didn’t actually touch her and that I feel bad for what happened to him, otherwise he’d be cho

A Queen Among Alphas Chapter 47: Operation First Date - Marcus
I make my way down the stairs and keep my eyes open hoping to find a few particular familiar faces. I wander around the packhouse until I end up in what looks like an entertainment room. It’s massive with a large black sectional with a black coffee table facing a large plasma screen TV on the left-hand wall. There are beanbag chairs, boxes with toys, an air hockey table, a pool table with a scoreboard on the right-hand wall next to a dartboard. Shelves that flank the door are filled with books and movies and there is are large sliding glass doors that make up the entire back wall. I see the people I’m looking for sitting on the couch laughing, so I walk over to them. “Hey, I hope I’m not interrupting,” I say while in fact interrupting them. Who I now know to be Evalyn looks up and gives me a wide smile, so I guess my balls are safe for now. “Marcus! Hi. Oh, this is Mei, Chris’s animai and my sister-in-law,” she says proudly making Mei blush. “And Eric who is Vitali’s
A Queen Among Alphas Chapter 48: Short Reunion - Marcus
With Amelia’s friends off on a mission to help me organise the best first date I can, I go and sit on the front steps of the packhouse to wait for my truck to arrive. Thankfully with all the stuff that’s gone on so far today time is moving quickly, so I don’t have to wait long. I’m waiting for maybe twenty minutes when I can see the red exterior of my GMC Sierra 2500 in the distance. It’s good to have my baby back. I get up just as my truck pulls in with an SUV pulling in behind it. I walk over as Calix gets out of my truck and Aiden gets out of the SUV. Here it comes. “What are you knuckleheads doing here?” I ask with surprise as Calix comes in for a hug which I return. “As if you’d have trusted anyone else with your truck,” he snorts. “Good point,” I say as I pull Aiden in for a hug. “So she hasn’t kicked you out yet I see. You’re setting a new record,” Aiden teases. I ignore the prick’s comment, I can always deck him later. Pretty certain his daughter gets her attitude from him
A Queen Among Alphas Chapter 49: The Other Beta - Amelia
"And you don’t know of any Alphas who would do such a thing?” I ask my dad while we sit on the couch in my office. He leans forward with his elbows resting on his knees and shakes his head, “Not a single one. It’s not common practice anymore and even under the best of circumstances most Alphas fear the repercussions from the Delegation,” he explains. “But as long as they act within the law they have nothing to worry about. The Delegation isn’t evil, and they aren’t dictators,” I say, feeling a little protective of the friends I have made. Not a single irshiust has a mean bone in their body, they weren’t made that way. But I wouldn’t call them pacifists either. They are trained and highly skilled warriors, stronger and faster than even a nagata. The only thing I know of that can rival them in strength and speed is a God. They have to know how to fight so they can carry out sentencing or stop wars. They are essentially the earthly representative of the Gods or at least Zarseti. But a
A Queen Among Alphas Chapter 50: A Romantic Gesture - Amelia
When I get to my suite I fling the door open, and my jaw drops to the floor at the sight before me. Standing in all his oh so handsome glory is Marcus, wearing a charcoal grey suit jacket with black lapels – he seems to like black lapels – a white dress shirt with the first three buttons undone giving me a perfect view of his defined pectoral muscles, which right now I very much would like to outline with my tongue. “If you don’t, I will. Hubba, hubba!” Zara pants in my head. He’s paired it with black slacks, black belt, and black loafers with a very expensive looking platinum wristwatch to boot. Gods take the wheel because my mouth has gone dry as a bone and my core is heating up as blood travels south fast. “You’re drooling,” he says with a smirk. “You look amazing,” I admit, and I can hear how breathy my voice sounds. Well, that’s embarrassing. He smiles as he walks over and cups my cheeks in his large hands; the contact sends an instant shock to the system, and I realise how m
A Queen Among Alphas Chapter 51: First Date - Amelia
It’s not too long before we’re approaching our destination and he’s parking against the curb in a side street. He gets out, zipping over to my side at lightning speed and opens my door for me. He holds out his hand and I don’t hesitate to take it, stepping down from the truck. He shuts and locks the car, but this time I wrap my arm around his before he even has a chance to offer. Marcus is looking down at me like a child who found Christmas just arrived early and I instinctively smile back up at him. It still amazes me how my emotions feed off of his – both positive and negative – even though we haven’t marked each other. Is it just us, or is it all animai? It’s just no one notices because most couples don’t hesitate to seal the bond. I’ll have to ask Chris since he held off longer than anyone I’ve ever known. We walk arm in arm around the corner and a few short steps before he’s opening the front doors of the establishment we’ve stopped in front of. We step in and I’m surprised by
A Queen Among Alphas Chapter 52: Interruptions - Amelia
We happily dive into our food, stealing glances at each other between bites and it makes me feel like a teenager being all silly with her crush. I never thought I was this person, but I rather like it. With things going better between us I feel myself opening up and relaxing around him more instead of being guarded.“There’s something I’ve been dying to ask you,” he says after taking another sip of his bourbon and coke.“Should I be scared?”“I don’t think so,” he chuckles, “I just can’t for the life of me figure out what Mei is,” he says making me freeze with my fork near my mouth. This makes me frown; I wasn’t expecting this question.“Is it that bad?” He asks with a worried tone.“No, it’s not that. It’s just not public knowledge, only a select few know what she is, and I’ve been doing my best to keep it that way. I wanted to make sure she was strong and able to protect herself before we let it be more public.”“Oh. I can understand that,” he concedes.I chew on the inside of my ch
A Queen Among Alphas Chatper 53: Making A Claim - Amelia
Zara was snarling uncontrollably the entire time Davina was in our presence and if it weren’t for the fact I’ve had twenty-one years of practice maintaining my composure, I would have leapt across the table and ripped the lying bitches tongue out and fed it to her. I could see and feel Marcus’ rage, I could even taste it on my tongue. But I also noted his fear and panic; not of her, but fearing her presence would scare me off. I held no anger towards Marcus over this, but I’m glad we are both in agreement that something is amiss. How did a banished wolf follow him all the way to a human restaurant in another state? “She’s still here, and no doubt listening to our conversation,” Zara growls. Her rage still very prevalent. “I know, I can feel her. Let her listen, I’ll deal with her when the time comes,” I assure her. Fortunately, I was able to calm Marcus, who I could tell was struggling to stop Ace from shifting. I could only imagine how Ace is feeling right now, but I’m sure Zara i
A Queen Among Alphas Chapter 54: Feeling Inadequate - Amelia
We’re driving for a few minutes before Marcus starts up a conversation. “I take it from what I heard that you broke her hand?” He asks with a malicious smirk. “She’s lucky that’s all I did,” I deadpan. “Were you that jealous?” He teases. “I only get jealous about things that matter,” I say dismissively. The atmosphere in the truck becomes uncomfortable all of a sudden. “Are you saying I don’t matter?” He whispers. My head snaps to his and I can see the hurt all over his face. Fuck. Shit. Dammit. Great, now I’m the one putting their foot in their mouth. “Why the hell did you say that?! Fix it!” Zara yells in a panic. Neither of us wants to see Marcus hurt and it upsets me to know I hurt him. That wasn’t my intention. “That’s not what I meant,” I quickly say. “Then what did you mean?” He asks tersely. I rub my face taking a deep breath to think of how to phrase my words. “Have you ever felt jealous or envious over anything?” I ask. He frowns thinking over my questions. “No,
