ALPHA'S CLAIM Chapter Seven
Oh no. When I come at you, I’ll come at you from the front.”Her sassy response made his smile widen. “That’s my girl.” Sitting on the armchair again, he watched as she struggled against the cuffs. Sighing, he dug out the key from his pocket and unlocked them. At her suspicious look, he shrugged. “I think at this point you’re as tired of all the running around as I am…although it was fun to chase and spank you.” “Had you honestly expected me to be quiet and compliant like a good little girl? I might be submissive, but I’m not a pushover.” “Oh, you’re definitely not a pushover,” he agreed. “I never, for even for even one minute, thought that you were.” She had the strength of will to match any dominant female, to match his. “You can’t ignore me for months and then expect me to welcome you with open arms.” “I didn’t ignore you—” “You didn’t even look at me, let alone speak to me or—” “Because I didn’t trust myself not to pick yo
ALPHA'S CLAIM Chapter Eight
Reaching the end of Tasha's driveway, Onyx exhaled a heavy breath. Well, things could have gone a lot worse. The bat could have knocked off his head, for instance. That merciless streak had been a shock. Maybe he should have paid more heed to her yard warning sign: TRESPASSERS WILL BE SHOT, SURVIVORS WILL BE SHOT AGAIN. And then there was the COME BACK WITH A WARRANT doormat. Yep, it was fair to say there had been some hints. The fact that he’d had to place his mate unconscious for his own safety was something he’d never forget. Both Onyx and his wolf loved that spark of fire in her. Despite being a submissive wolf, she hadn’t hesitated in challenging him verbally or physically. That was a good thing—it was important to him that his mate never feared him or his level of dominance. It would cut him open if that were to ever happen. As he walked a short distance and rounded the street to find his motor home, which had been his place of residen
ALPHA'S CLAIM Chapter Nine
She was going to be late for work again. Groan. On the upside, it was the earliest that she’d ever been late. In pretty much a daze after a crappy night’s sleep, Tasha left the house and began walking briskly down her driveway. And came to an abrupt halt at the sight of something parked at the end of it. It looked like a humungous bus. Coming close, she tried to peer through the blackened windows, but they were too high up. Seeing movement in her peripheral vision, she swerved to see a Mercedes convertible pulling up behind the bus. Then the bane of her existence was waltzing toward her, carrying Starbucks takeout. Again he looked dangerous and indomitable. Again he emanated an unflappable confidence. Again he had her traitorous body heating and tingling, readying itself for him—so not good. She scowled. “You’re still here?” At his presence and scent, her wolf stirred and stretched out inside her, her dark mood lifting. Onyx
ALPHA'S CLAIM Chapter Ten
"No, I chose to put your safety above everything else. It didn’t change the fact that the only person I wanted was you.” If that was true, he was going to be seriously pissed off by her answer, and then she’d be stuck in a car with a raging, too-damn-dominant alpha male wolf. That was never a good situation, and her wolf wasn’t looking forward to it. When he raised a questioning brow at her, she averted her gaze as she admitted, “I dated a couple of times.” She braced herself for an explosion. There wasn’t one. Risking a glance at him, she saw him looking calm and cool. Only his white-knuckled grip on the steering wheel betrayed his inner turmoil. “Why aren’t you yelling?” “How can I?” His words were like crushed rock. “All you were doing was trying to get on with your life.” And now she felt bad. She shouldn’t. She knew that. If he’d yelled at her, she could have rightly pointed out that if he hadn’t wanted her to date anyone else, he s
ALPHA'S CLAIM Chapter Eleven
He got his wish. Onyx had just finished buttoning his fly when four dominant male wolves entered the restroom. Not intimidated by their scowls or aggressive postures, he ignored them, went to the sink, and washed his hands. As he dried them, they formed a semicircle around him, blocking him in. Turning, he looked at them all curiously…like they were bugs. They didn’t like that. The one in the middle stepped forward slightly, tilting his bald head. “Who are you?” “You guys are confronting me. I’ll ask the questions. What do you want?” That seemed to have knocked his confidence a little. Good. Stupid shit was dominant, but he wasn’t an alpha, and yet here he was practically challenging one, endangering himself and his packmates. He should know better. He should have been taught better. “Our Alpha would like to speak to you.” “Really?” drawled Onyx. “And why is that?” “You’re on our turf.” He clench
ALPHA'S CLAIM Chapter Twelve
You seemed a little distracted today,” Jane told Tasha as they were slipping on their coats at the end of a long shift. “And you look real tired.” She gave her a sardonic smile. “Such a polite way of telling me I look like shit.” “Come on, tell me what’s wrong. You’re supposed to confide in me and make me feel important and special.” When she didn’t, she hit her in the chest with her own purse. “Spill.” Hanging the purse over her shoulder, she frowned at her. “Hey, I don’t harass you about your private business. If I was going to do that, I’d say shame on you for flirting outrageously with another one of your clients.” “I wasn’t flirting. I was being particularly nice to a particularly hot.” “Uh-huh. Just try not to sleep with this one, okay?” Her mouth fell open. He followed behind her, spluttering, as she headed for the door. “I did not have sex with him.” “No, of course not.…He ha
ALPHA'S CLAIM Chapter Thirteen
It wasn’t the first time Onyx had found himself surrounded by a group of prejudiced humans. But it was the first time that he was close to losing his self-control—and all because the leader of this particular extremist group was very familiar, and very much despised by Onyx and his wolf. He knew he was vibrating with anger; it was taking everything he had not to gut the bastard. Wearing a ruthless scowl, the human stepped forward, practically spilling hatred and senseless narrow-mindedness. But there was also fear there. “I know you’re a shifter. Don’t bother denying it. I can easily identify one. What I don’t know is your name.” “You get three guesses,” replied Onyx. “But if you get it wrong, your firstborn’s mine.” “Well, we’ve established that you’re a smartass.” “Only around stupid people. I’m guessing you’re the leader of the prejudiced humans.” “Not prejudiced,”
ALPHA'S CLAIM Chapter Fourteen
Finding again waiting by his car with a Starbucks coffee for her the next morning, Tasha thought he looked a lot calmer. She, by contrast, wasn’t so calm. “You know, you and Trevon are unbelievably alike. Neither of you can take a hint, and neither of you pay any attention to what other people want.” She still snatched one of the coffee cups, though. As always, Onyx and his wolf were amused by the snippy side of her nature. “Such charming manners.” When he tucked a stray curl behind her ear, she predictably slapped his hand away. Tasha went to take a sip of the coffee but then stopped. “Wait, this isn’t the one you’ve been drinking out of, is it?” “You ask that like I have an infectious disease or something.” She shrugged. “I just don’t like sharing straws or glasses or cups with other people.” “Really?” “It’s one of my quirks.”
