Alpha Creed Heart Of Stone: A Gamma's Lament Prologue
Sage: Four Years Ago Another fucking meeting that could have been a conference call. I know Creed told me to take care of business like this, but this is fucking ridiculous. I must look like I enjoy being in meetings day in and day out; either that or I’m wearing a goddamn clown suit I’m not aware of. At least this time the meeting was right in the middle of New York, but it still wasted my time. Now I’m seated in an upmarket bar where only the wealthy converge, sipping on expensive alcohol to keep up appearances. Drawing the glass of whiskey to my lips, I empty the contents and gesture to the bartender for a refill. The sting of the alcohol leaves a trail of fire down my throat, but I don’t even blink at the feeling. As pissed off as I try to feel at Creed for the unimportant meeting, it’s a futile attempt at me holding onto the person I was a few years ago. The son who doted on his family, the big brother who loved spending time with his little sister in between training and s
Alpha Creed Chapter 24 - Cherie
I stare at Rebecca in Sage’s arms, both Creed and I are shocked to shit at what his cousin had just said. As far as I know, Sage is the enemy in her story since he kidnapped her Court. But now they may have history…?“Well? Are you going to tell them, or should I?” Sage purrs in her ear and I watch as her cheeks redden. “Four years ago, right here in New York - a hotel room…” He slackens his hold on her and she pushes him away. Hard. Rebecca takes a few steps away from him, tears welling up in her eyes as he continues to grin. “You bastard,” she murmurs before running out of Creed’s office, and I can do nothing else but follow her.Rushing into the elevator, she’s shaking so much that pressing the button to reception proves difficult, so I do it for her. Then I pull her into my arms.“Cherie…I-”“Shh, you don’t have to say anything right now,” I assure her, rubbing her back. “We’ll go home and you can come to me when you’re comfortable.”She nods just as the elevator doors open and

I scoff at my cousin, shaking my head. “Of course, you slept with her,” I say, but the look on his face tells me there’s so much more to this. We’re still in my office and Sage has just explained to me how far back his connection with the Seelie girl goes. It shouldn’t surprise me that he slept with her, but it does surprise me when I see the desperation in his normally vacant eyes.“It’s not just that. When we… she made me feel, Creed,” he says, sitting forward and leaning his elbows on his knees, shocking me to absolute hell. “When I was with her that night, throughout the entire day with her, I felt something. You should know what this means to me.”Do I know what this means? Of course, I do. Sage and I used to be close before he could no longer feel emotions. Born nearly two years apart, he was my closest friend. It killed me when he lost his ability to feel anything; it felt like I lost him even if he was right there.“She made you feel?” I murmur. “What do you mean?”He shakes
Alpha Creed Chapter 26 - Cherie
“Are you sure you want me to ask you anything? What if I feel particularly nosey today?” I ask when Creed and I settle on my bed.He lays back against the headboard with one arm crooked behind his head while the other pulls me onto his chest. I fall forward with a thump, only for him to snake an arm around my waist and hold me close to him.Gods, he’s huge. I mean, I fought him in the ring and took him down with a punch to the head, but I never paid attention to just how massive he was. I feel like a hamster in the mouth of a - well, a wolf. “Lucky for you my tongue is loose today,” he says in an amused tone, but I don’t miss the innuendo at all. “You should know all about it-”“You’re such a horn dog,” I groan, hiding my face on the side of his chest and regretting it immediately. Because, my Gods, he smells so damn good. “Try to focus!”Was I telling myself that or him?“I will try, but I will not promise a thing,” he says and kisses the top of my head. “But to answer your earlier
Alpha Creed Chapter 27 - Creed
From hearing Rebecca’s moan earlier to blocking them out and listening to Cherie finally giving me a glimpse into her past. Things are just snowballing; and from the look on Sage’s face, it’s about to get even weirder.He called me over the mind link to tell me they’d come to a conclusion and wanted to speak with us about it.I hold Cherie’s hand as we walk towards the two of them sitting in the living room space, and see an odd flush on Rebecca’s cheeks. There’s no scent of fucking in here, but it’s obvious these two want each other.“Do I even want to know?” I ask, sitting down and dragging Cherie onto my lap. Fuck how awkward this looks because I just want her close to me. She stiffens in my embrace but then relaxes when I place my hand on her thigh.Sage is not wearing his usual cocky grin when he looks at me and that itself is a dead giveaway. “Rebecca is willing to take me into her Keep and help me with finding out why the Unseelie Queen claimed me—I’ll tell you about it later,”
Alpha Creed Chapter 28 - Cherie
I feel Creed’s parting kiss but my focus is solely on the woman in front of me. Rebecca is refusing to meet my eye even as the elevator doors close and I can no longer sense Creed. Not only that, but I don’t think I have ever seen her so flushed before. What exactly did Sage and her talk about?“Is it bad?” I blurt out, but her head remains down. But then she sighs and shrugs her shoulders.“I don’t know, Cherie,” she says, throwing her hands up. “If I do this, if I give him what he wants then I get my Court back. Everything I have ever done has been for them; this is something I’ll need to do even if I hate it.”“No,” I say with a shake of my head. “How do you know he’s telling the truth about your Court? How do you know they’re still alive after all this time?”“Because he showed me,” she murmurs. “And I spoke with my mother and handmaiden on his cell phone; he has them stashed away somewhere to use as leverage so he gets what he wants out of me.”I can’t help it. Even though she’s

-Caught Cherie still at the gym, will take her home-I’ve been staring at this text from Luka for over half an hour trying to make sense of it. Why is Cherie at the gym so late? Not only that, but she went back to the gym knowing Rebecca would be leaving with Sage tomorrow. Fuck, I should’ve gotten her number today to check up on her.“You’re up late.”I turn to face my uncle Viktor walking into the living room where I’m seated in front of the fireplace. He walks over to the crystal decanters, pours us each two fingers of bourbon, and hands one over to me.“Couldn’t sleep,” I say, which is partially true. “What’s your excuse?”He chuckles and sits down next to me. “I find being asleep restricting,” he says and I raise my eyebrow at that. “What I mean is, ever since I came back I’ve been restless. I want to experience everything at the same time, so sleep sort of eludes me.”“Ah, so you’re greedy to live your life?”“Damn right, I am,” he says with a smile and takes a sip of his drink
Alpha Creed Chapter 30 - Cherie
Rebecca was gone before I even woke up this morning. The only thing she left was a note saying she’d be back soon and to please not worry about her. Things are getting stranger by the minute when it comes to Rebecca and Sage, but then again it’s her business.If she wanted to tell me what it was, she would have.I didn’t really get much sleep last night either. With the vivid nightmares I’ve been having since I left my parent’s place down to the fact that I haven’t seen that odd girl, Arlen, again. So today I am cranky as hell with my best friend up and leaving without even saying goodbye to me.It's 6 pm when I leave the gym and contemplate having an early supper somewhere. I don’t want to go back to the empty penthouse with my thoughts running rampant. It feels like two people are dodging me and I don’t know why.Creed said he’d be late today, I didn’t think he meant he wouldn’t show. Damn it, I could kick myself for not getting his number and even though I told him I want to take i
