The Dallas skyline stretches endlessly before me, the sprawl of glittering lights against the midnight sky making my head throb. From the floor-to-ceiling windows of my penthouse, the city looks nothing like the chaos raging inside my chest.

My wolf hasn't stopped pacing since this afternoon. Since we saw her.

Mate. Mate. Mate.

The word pounds through my skull like a relentless hum, and it drowns out every rational thought I've tried to form in the last eight hours.

  • A Secret Baby For The Alpha Quarterback   Chapter 251

    KieranHe wasn’t there. Ashley visibly relaxed two seconds after we walked in, but it only made me more furious. I wanted to murder tonight. Watching the alpha who tried to kill Ashley bleed out in the middle of my restaurant would have made this entire ball tolerable.Instead, he wasn’t there.Five packs hadn’t made it yet, so that narrowed it down.The night went smoothly after that. Too smoothly. I was annoyed. I wanted blood. I wanted death.“Pace yourself, Kieran. There are still two more nights and a ball,” Cyrus said after the restaurant had emptied. He clapped me on the back. “You’ll explode if you keep all this tension inside you. We’re shifting and going for a run. Come with us.”“Ashley can’t shift. I won’t leave her alone at the hotel,” I said stoically. “And Conrad and Lucien deserve to run. They’ll be with you tonight.”“He’ll be here,” Cyrus said with a smile. “He’ll be here, and you’ll get to unleash all that fury that you’ve been holding on to for years. It’ll be int

    Ashley Each high alpha would be at a table with their own alphas and betas. Drinks would be served first, and then we would walk out and greet each table.Kieran, Conrad, and Lucien would be there. All the betas would be there. I was going to be safe. When I stood in front of the Alder Fang Pack and Talon, I would be safe.Except what would happen then? I was bonded to Talon. Would he stand up and take his claim? King Cyrus wouldn’t do anything—Talon had me first.So, what was even the point of this? Why was I not running? The king wanted trust, but I didn’t know him. I didn’t know the plan. I didn’t understand any of it.But I was in the dress. I was in a beautiful dress, and I was in makeup, and my hair was shinier than ever and swept up in curls on the top of my head. I barely recognized myself in the mirror.Hell, maybe Talon wouldn’t even recognize me, and I would have been worried about nothing.There was a knock at the door. It wasn’t the first, and it wouldn’t be the last.

    Kieran Cyrus had been watching me all day. There was something in his eyes and something on his mind, but whatever it was, he was in no hurry to tell me, and we’d had no private time. Conrad informed me, through the bond, what Ashley had told him last night. We were at lunch. I hadn’t introduced Ashley yet. It was customary to introduce her to my allies before all the other alphas, but I hadn’t shown Ashley to Demetrius or Trick. Mainly because I didn’t know if Trick was an ally. I didn’t know Trick at all, and I hadn’t gotten any alone time with Demetrius because he wasn’t leaving Trick’s side. And the lunch was dragging on. And Demetrius continued to quiz him. “So where were you before you murdered High Alpha Jimson? Who was your high alpha?” “I think you mean when I challenged Jimson and won,” Trick said calmly. He looked to be a few years younger than me, with long dark hair and green eyes. His manners were calm and deliberate, but I also saw some urgency in them, although I

    ConradThe two alphas returned to me with frowns on their faces. “You don’t have any security,” Alpha Amir said gruffly. “Your king is on the premises, and you have no security.”Looking up from the computer monitors, I leaned back in my chair and studied them. It was the first time I’d been in the security room in a long time—we usually sent the feeds directly to our room.Amir and Forrest were Cyrus’s alphas, and they did not play well with others. I’d met Amir before. He’d been with Cyrus for a long time, but Forrest was new.I knew the kinds of wolves Cyrus kept in his pack. They were a danger to others and sometimes a danger to themselves. Beta wolves who were deranged used to be put down. Cyrus brought them into his pack and gave them a safe place to be. Then, he started bringing in feral alphas, and somehow, it worked. The betas and the alphas evened each other out.But I knew I had to be careful around them, so I chose my words carefully.“If I had security, they would listen

    Ashley Cyrus reached down, but there was nowhere for me to go. He could wrap his hands around my throat and squeeze, and there was nothing I could do to stop him. The power was intense. The magic washed through me. I couldn’t even scream.His hands wrapped around my wrists, and he hauled me up and placed my hands over my head. The air returned to my lungs, and I took a deep breath.When his magic left me, he released me, and I fell back against the elevator wall.Talon was completely gone. The bond was still there, but all traces of him were gone.“I could remove the bond completely, of course, but that would ruin the plan. I apologize if that scared you. Your panic triggered me, and I was not careful as I searched for the problem. Once he’s here on the grounds, he’ll be able to communicate with you, but he won’t be able to push anything through to you. He won’t be able to hurt you.”Then, to my shock, the king of werewolves sat in the corner of the elevator and looked at me.“Say

    KieranGasping, I whirled around. Talon couldn’t hear my thoughts, could he? That wasn’t possible. It couldn’t be possible.I searched out the bond and found it pulsing beneath the protective coating Kieran had put on it. Immediately, I tried to push him out. He’d heard me because I was thinking about him. I needed to stop thinking about him.“Good luck with that.”“Ashley?” Daphne asked quietly. “Ashley, you’ve gone very pale. Are you okay?”“He can hear me. He can reach me. He’s not supposed to be able to do that. He’s getting stronger, or he’s getting nearer,” I said frantically.“I don’t understand, he’s...”Daphne’s face drained of blood, and I stumbled back. “Oh my God, he’s getting nearer. He’s literally getting closer to me, and you knew. He’s coming to the ball, isn’t he? And you knew!”Tears filled her eyes. “You said his name, Ashley, and I recognized it. I broke into Kieran’s room, which I got into a lot of trouble doing. I looked at the list, and then I got caught, which
