Alpha of the Dead Chapter 23
(Tiernan’s P.O.V) Are you sure it’s a good idea for us to be going to the hotel? Artemis may show up. That can’t be helped. As you said, Steele, we will have to tell her eventually. He nods his head before curling up in the back of my mind, though I can still feel his nerves and anxiety. The meeting wraps up, hopes are at an all-time low right now with the information that Preston brought back from Eferhile. “Do you still want to go on our date tonight? I know you may not be feeling up to it after the news we got today.” I ask, pulling Si towards me. “We can go on our date; nothing is going to change what was discussed tonight and stewing in it isn’t going to help my mood.” She states. “Okay, kitten. I’m going to pack my overnight bag before we head out.” She nods her head stiffly, obviously annoyed that I’m inserting myself into her life like this, but I don’t really care. I wasn’t going to be leaving her side any time soon, not until my mark was on her
Alpha of the Dead Chapter 24
(Siobhan’s P.O.V) Tiernan was starting to piss me off, I really wish that I hadn’t gone into heat as I had, or I wouldn’t have mated with him, and I would have been able to reject him like I wanted to. But no, I mated with him…a lot…and now I was up shit creek without a paddle. You need to get over it. Who’s that? Is that my wolf? No, it couldn’t be my wolf since I haven’t heard from her in days. Stop being a C U Next Tuesday. You have no one to blame but yourself for my silence. You were hurting me because of your inability to trust that someone would love you without hurting you. Wow, way to be a bitch. You just don’t like the fact that I’m right and that you’re scared. Tala goes back to the deep recesses of my mind, back to ignoring me. I hate when my wolf is right about shit. I wish that, just once, I could be the one spitting facts at her but nope, here I am with egg on my face. I’m starting to think that volunteering for this case was a bad idea and that
Alpha of the Dead Chapter 25
(Tiernan’s P.O.V) After I left Siobhan in the woods to finish her meditation, I went back to the hotel and sat myself down at the bar. I needed a drink after how these last few days have played out, I wasn’t expecting her to be my mate. I wasn’t expecting her absolute disdain for the mate bond, and I know that the only reason why she mated with me, at first, was because of her heat. Our “hunt” had been an experiment to her, to see if it was something she would enjoy which is what BDSM is all about. Exploring your deepest desires in a safe and consensual way. I throw back my third glass of whiskey, knowing that human liquor won’t get me drunk until I’ve had at least ten more glasses, I wave to the bartender for another. “This seat taken?” I hear a male voice ask. I look over and it’s Anders, the vampire FBI agent that traveled here with Si. “Sure, go ahead,” I murmur, taking my drink from the bartender. “What’ll it be for you?” The bartender asks him. “I’l
Alpha of the Dead Chapter 26
(Tiernan’s P.O.V) Fuck my life. Like seriously, of course, Artemis would show up while I’m trying to woo my mate. Your grandfather wants to speak with you, Tiernan. I hear Artemis say in my head. If you couldn’t tell, I’m trying to woo my mate. Grandpa can wait another hour. Please, Artemis, just tell him to give me an hour. Pulling me in would cause unwanted attention right now. I beg my familiar. I will tell him, but he will only give you an hour. Not a second longer. He states, before flying off. “That was so weird. Literally, that bird was just sitting there staring at us not moving an inch!” Siobhan states creeped out by Artemis’s behavior. I think it’s time that we tell her. Steele whispers. I think so too, but not in the middle of the restaurant. When we are driving home, I will. “Kitten, I’m sorry to cut dinner short but we need to head back to the hotel. Patrick texted me and said he needed my opinion on something that couldn’t wait.” I lie. It
Alpha of the Dead Chapter 27--Split Chapter
(Tiernan’s P.O.V) I’m pulled from my body, and I’m greeted by my grandfather’s dogs, the Hounds of Annwn greet me with playful yips and jump on me. “Hey guys, take me to grandpa, okay?” I ask as I give each hound a pat on the head. All three hounds nod their heads and start walking to the dais that his throne was sitting on, and I see my father standing in front of him. “Hey dad, gramps,” I call out from halfway down the hall. “Tiernan, my boy! Thank you for being here. I was just catching up with your dad about what’s been going on in the Human Realm.” My grandpa, Arawn, says before he comes down off the dais to embrace me. He’s in his human form because his normal form always creeps me out, my dad doesn’t mind but I saw him in his usual form—deer skull with branches for antlers with a human body—for the first time when I was five and it scared the shit out of me. Therefore, for me, he maintains his full human form when I visit. His human for

(Siobhan’s P.O.V) “Your grandfather was able to tell you?” I ask in surprise. “Yes. Just give me a minute, I need to take a piss. Not sure why, but every time I visit him when I come back to my body I need to piss.” He murmurs, getting off the bed and making his way into the bathroom. You may want to hide, Si. I don’t know what you mean Tala. After the toilet flushes and I hear the tap on the sink turn on, I hear Tiernan gasp and then growl in annoyance. He comes stomping back into the room and is a raging bull without the horns. “What the fuck did you do to my face?” He growls. “Well, Camilla had a new eyeshadow palette that she wanted to try out and you were visiting your grandfather. I didn’t think you would mind.” I say, shrugging my shoulders. While he was out of his body, the girls and I had gotten bored for the better part of two hours and decided that Tiernan needed a new look. Camilla did have a new eyeshadow palette that she wanted to swatch,
Alpha of the Dead Chapter 29
(Tiernan’s P.O.V) I couldn’t believe that she would say some bullshit like that about my abilities as an Alpha, I’m not used to this type of shit. I needed to get out of there, the room was stifling, and I honestly needed to get away from her. I think we need to reject her. I can’t do this; it hurts too much, and she doesn’t even want to be with us in the first place. Don’t you dare Ty! Tala wants us! That’s not enough Steele, Siobhan needs to want us too, and she doesn’t. Yeah, sure we mated outside of her heat cycle but that doesn’t mean anything. She doesn’t want us to mark her, she doesn’t want to mark us. Please, Tiernan. Don’t do this. We need her. I know we do buddy, but I can’t put myself through this anymore. I shut off my link to him, not wanting to listen to his arguments about why we need to keep our mate around when she obviously doesn’t want us. I was so caught up in my thoughts and conversation with Steele that I hadn’t realized I made it
Alpha of the Dead Chapter 30
(Siobhan’s P.O.V) By the time I got out of the hotel, he was gone. Serves you right! How could you say something so vile to him!? He takes great pride in being a good Alpha to his people and you just shit all over it.! I didn’t mean to say it! I was just frustrated! Well, thanks to your bitch move, Steele is blocking me out. I wouldn’t be surprised if they reject us after this despite how much pain we will all be in. I didn’t respond, I couldn’t. She was right because he had every right to reject us now. I had continuously pushed him away, telling him I didn’t want a mate and had every intention of rejecting him before leaving. I run back up to the suite and grab the keys to one of our cars and make my way to the packhouse. I get to the gates and that fucker Luther was at the gates again, I knew he was going to give me a hard time after my comment earlier this week about his dick size. “I’m here to see my family, Luther, so just let me through.” I lie bec
