Alpha Maddox's Mortal Temptation Chapter 264
THEY TOOK MY TRACKER AND LEFT ME BEHIND, WHICH IS NOT how I thought it would go. Irene must know that the Northwest is going to notice that it’s no longer attached to my body, which could mean a handful of things.At best, she’s aware that something might be off and decided to be cautious. At worst, she knows exactly what our plan is and opted for using a less valuable bait, outfit it with my tracker, and let it be a casualty of the fight that will break out.It, because I don’t want to believe that Irene would sacrifice one of the Favored.The moment I’m fully awake, I yell into my gag. Writhe. Make a scene. One guard, a man with gray hair and a long beard, watches me for a few minutes. Then he sighs, comes closer, and frees my mouth. “What is it?”Where the fuck did they go? would be my conversation starter of choice, but I settle for “I have to go to the bathroom.” It’s not even a lie.He and the younger guard share a look. “Just . . . go.”“Where?”They seem confused.“You want

THIS TIME AROUND THERE ARE NO DRUGS INVOLVED, AND WHEN I find myself bound and gagged in front of Irene, I’m feeling grateful.Honestly? I set the bar too low. I need to start asking more of my abductors.And then there is a hideout about eight miles from there, Nele told me yesterday, pointing at a map. It’s inconvenient, because it’s so close to pack territory, the risk of being caught during patrols is high. But Irene never gave it up.Because of its proximity to her father’s home?She nodded. There were rumors that the previous huddle leader wanted to tear the house down, and Irene decided to keep an eye on it to make sure it was still standing. We don’t really have a burial place for Constantine, so it’s like a memorial. It inspires us.I looked at Zane. It would make sense for me to take a trip there, since I just found out about my family. Someone like Irene, who’s spent her entire life upholding Constantine’s legacy, wouldn’t find it weird.I took Zane’s gritted teeth as ass

“Clearly, you don’t. This is the best way to keep the pack safe.”“I’m not letting you— ”“That’s the thing, Zane. You don’t have to let me. I can do whatever I want. I could walk across the Human border right now, and you couldn’t stop me.”His jaw tenses. “I am the Alpha of this pack.”“You are. And everyone else in this room is going to follow your orders. But I won’t.”Suddenly, he seems larger. Angrier. He towers over me in a new, unfamiliar way, and hisses through clenched teeth, “You are under my command. If I say that I want you here, you’ll fucking stay here. Your plan would put you in danger and out of my protection, and that’s unacceptable.”“Zane.” I smile.He leans forward. I should be scared. I’m just not.“I love you,” I say simply.His eyes close. “You are mine. My mate. My— ”“More importantly, you love me. And that’s why you have no authority over me.” I reach up to caress his face with the back of my hand. Let my arm fall limp at my side, suddenly cold.When I tur

“Maybe I could help you,” she adds, tentative. “I could show you where some of our hideouts are. We could go together— ”“No,” Zane and I say in unison, forcefully. We share a glance, and he continues. “How old are you?”“Sixteen.”“Son of a bitch.” He briefly hangs his head. Massages the bridge of his nose. “You’re way too young to be caught in this. We don’t know if they are guarding their hideouts, or whether they will treat you as a threat. You’ve been through enough. Your involvement in this bullshit ends now.”Nele blushes, looking scandalized.Zane cocks his head. “Did you really just offer to escort me into a life- or- death situation, only to balk at the word ‘bullshit’?”The flush deepens. “The thing is, after what happened last week, there are . . . a little less than fifty Favored left. About half of them are Weres. And . . . my older sister, she’s currently with them."My stomach sinks.Zane sighs. “Could you write me a list of the members?”“I already have. It’s in my r

That besotted half smile, again. “That was a ‘we.’ ”“It wasn’t.” I steady myself. “Just a few days ago you listed several reasons why you had to choose the pack over me. What changed?”He roams the inside of his mouth with his tongue. Waits out the end of a particularly strong gust of breeze. “You told me that you loved me, Anna,” he says simply. His eyes are earnest, liquid. So profoundly good. “And while I’m willing to resign myself to an existence without the person I love, I refuse to condemn you to it.”I square my shoulders. Don’t cry. Don’t you fucking dare cry. “It was very good sex, and I— I made it up, Zane. In the heat of the moment.”His eyes are compassionate. “I read your letter.”“My . . . ?”“The one on your desk. With my name on it. It changes everything, Anna.”The letter I wrote for him to read after I died. I shut my eyes tight, trying to block the memories of what’s in it.I feel close to you. So much so, sometimes I wonder if fate really does exist.When you’re

THE FIRST THING AMANDA TELLS ME IN THE LATE AFTERNOON, when I emerge from Zane’s empty cabin, is a firm “Don’t.”“Hello to you, too.” I bend down to pet Twinkles, laughing at the enthusiastic wag of his tail.“Don’t . . . ?”“Dwell on the intrusive thought that everyone knows the nasty shit you and Zane have been doing to each other for the past few days.”I stop dead. “I wasn’t going to.” Until now.“Good. Keep it that way. Zane’s inner circle is very happy that Mommy and Daddy got it on.”I have so many questions about that, I decide to ask none. I take a resigned seat on the porch, enjoying the way Twinkles curls up against me, the breeze caressing my skin.I want more of this. I want to explore the cliffs and the shores as a wolf. I want to go for a run. My cells itch for it.“Are you . . .” Amanda eyes me, circumspect. “All intact? I know Heats can be, um, tempestuous situations. He didn’t . . . ?”“Mommy did not hurt Daddy. Or vice versa,” I say dryly. “What about you? How was

The implications sink into me instantly. Anna, that fucking idiot, got herself involved in something incredibly dangerous. And the other person who was involved in it is now dead, which—“Seraphine.” Lucien’s hand blankets mine, large and warm. “I don’t think it means she’s dead.”It’s what I neede

“FYI, your Alpha tendencies are even worse in this form.”His tongue darts out and licks at my neck.“Ew, gross,” I giggle.His teeth close around my arm. A joking, playful warning that could shatter my ulna. But won’t.“Can I pet you?”His head turns to butt under my hand. Yes, please.“Well, then

The rest of the room fades. I sink into the doorframe and stare at his familiar face, the dark shadows under his clear eyes and the stubble he hasn’t bothered shaving. He speaks with patience and authority, and I find myself lingering, listening to the rhythm of his deep voice if not to the content

Zane is an asshole, in the most delicious and entertaining of ways. He seems to have distinct preferences, strong opinions, and little interest in keeping either to himself.“Let’s all thank Lucien for the opportunity to not have to tune out one of Roscoe’s deranged rants tonight,” he proclaims lou
