Chapter148 Changing Tides
“The nerve of you is astounding, Adair. What, pray tell, did you think you would accomplish by bringing them here?”
The hostile vibe Ava had picked up even from a dozen yards away and through several inches of bulletproof glass somehow didn’t manage to improve by coming into close proximity to the…finfolk? The Selkies, Marnie had called them. People who could turn into seals.It seemed ridiculous, given her own circumstances, that…well, anything really, could surprise her at this point. And, to be fair, it wasn’t the existence of seal people that was currently throwing her for a loop; it was being hit, once again, with the staggering realization of just how little she actually knew about the world around her, her own wider community.And it wasn’t just Ava, either. Through their bond, she could feel Xavier’s mind whirring, struggling to quickly process the new influx of information. Even now, after all this time,

Alpha's Caged Mate Chapter149 Trial By Fire
The weeks leading up to the next month’s Blue Moon and the Trial by Combat scheduled for that night went by surprisingly quickly and quietly. The calm before the storm.Ava, for her part, spent most of that time talking, getting to know as much as she could about her newfound allies. There was a host of information that the spellcasters and the shapeshifters had to bring to the table; doors that she had never known were there to open. Her analytical tactician's mind was thoroughly stimulated at the influx of new information.She had to be thankful that Marnie and Emmaline’s coven had deemed their cause worth investing their time and resources into. And the Selkies? Ava was under no naïve misconception that their involvement was due to anything less than desperation. It just so happened that desperation was as good a motivator as any.Slowly, ever so carefully, Ava worked with Emmaline, Marnie, and the Selkie diplomats to covertly spread the word of th
Alpha's Caged Mate Chapter150 Keep Calm And Carry On
The helicopters hovered above the arena as long dark ropes unfurled from the gaping voids of their cockpits, and soldiers in white began to descend into the Trial grounds. The largest chopper in the group tilted downward, and Xavier watched in horror as gun turrets descended from the vehicle’s hull.Just as he shouted a warning, it was drowned out by the spray of rapid machine-gun fire that bathed the stands where his people, his allies, his mate stood watching on in bewildered shock. It was a stroke of luck and good fortune that Emmaline and Marnie Adair had insisted on attending the Trial along with several other representatives from their coven.The witches were quick to respond, throwing up glimmering shields that did an excellent job of deflecting the rain of bullets, sending them careening off to join the hundreds of other projectiles currently reducing the two-hundred-year-old structure to little more than kindling.Xavier roared his fury and shifted, sna
Alpha's Caged Mate Prologue
*“Murderer…”**“Liar…”**“Traitor!”*Each vile word spat at Ava stung like the cut of a blade, digging deep and slicing her up from the inside out. These weren’t strangers hurling profane slurs at her and glaring at her with such intense hatred in their glowing eyes; these were the people who’d watched her grow up, taught her what it meant to be a Wolf. Now, they bared their fangs at her in rage, the shadow of their inner Wolves threatening to rise to the surface, to come tear Ava apart. These had been her people once, but tonight it was clear they were her enemies.“Burn, you *fucking* traitor!”A rock sailed out of the darkness and caught Ava across the forehead. Ava hissed in a yelp of pain and dropped to her knees.“On your knees where you belong, rogue bitch!” The crowd erupted in a round of raucous cheers seeing the girl felled. The guards holding the lead to her shackles continued on, forcing Ava to stumble back to her feet or risk being dragged through the mud. Determined to
Alpha's Caged Mate The Dungeon
**Three years later...**“Ava Davis!”The gruff yell of a guard yelling her name startled Ava from her fraught sleep. Momentarily caught in the fuzzy in-between state of dreaming and the waking world, Ava felt the blissfully numb for the precious few seconds before reality caught back up to her. All too quickly, the dark stone walls surrounding her came back into focus, the stale smell of under-washed Wolves caused her nostrils to flare. As she shifted on her rock-hard cot, the aching in her back wrenched reluctant groans from her perpetually parched throat. Thirsty. Hungry. Sore and tired. Ava’s breath caught as the misery of her reality weighed on her like a boulder crushing her chest.And yet, tonight was nothing special. She’d woken up in a similar state, or worse, every night for the past three years. Ever since everyone she’d ever known and loved had turned their backs on her and left her to rot, alone and forgotten. Then, she recalled her dream. *For the love of the moon*, Ava
Alpha's Caged Mate Green Light Club
By the time the truck had rolled to a stop, Ava had successfully navigated the extreme sense of panic and dread that had plagued her for most of the sightless ride and settled into a grim determination to face whatever was coming head-on.If she’d learned anything over the last three years, it was that the adaptable ones survive the longest. To make it in the dungeon she’d figured out how to cage the fighter she’d been born to be and cow herself in effort to not draw unwanted attention. She didn’t know what fresh hell these new circumstances would bring, but Ava was ready to re-light her fire, if the opportunity called for it.Even if Mia was still silent.Despite the countless morbid scenarios flitting across her mind, the jagged hole in her…inner self where Mia should be, was an ever-present distraction. She didn’t know what exactly had been done to her to sever their bond, in fact that entire cursed night was a blur. Even as she focused on her memories of a couple nights ago, only
Alpha's Caged Mate Getting Into Trouble Again
Ava wiped the dripping sweat from her brow as she slammed close the industrial-sized door on yet another mound of laundry. The Green Light Club never had less than a half-dozen heavy-duty washers and dryers running at any given time and the baby elephant-sized motors made the laundry room sweltering, even in the winter months.Taking a swig from a water bottle, Ava thanked the moon for small favors that she had the fortune to be on laundry duty today. She could’ve been on toy duty again, and when you clean a sex club for a living, any night you don’t have to wash anything by hand is a blessing.Ava stretched her back, reasonably hydrated and ready to tackle the next task on her seemingly never-ending list of chores. Before she could grab the basket of silk sheets that needed to be steamed, the door to the laundry room slammed open. Audrey, another member of the cleaning crew came barging in. Ava sighed internally knowing full well that the human woman was well on her way to another on
Alpha's Caged Mate Scent
Ava started to sweat, but this time temperature had nothing to do with it. An iron-hard bicep caged her in, pressing her up against a chest like stone. Her nose filled with the scent of cloves and a male’s natural musk, so thick she didn’t need Mia’s heightened senses to catch wind of it.It was all too much. Ava hadn’t been this close to another, hadn’t *touched* another person since Layla had died and she hadn’t felt comfortable doing so for a long, long time before that. After all, the last man who’d touched her ruined her life and the majority of physical touches that came after were intended to make her bleed, put her squarely in her place. So, *this* charged interaction…the sheer proximity to any stranger, but particularly *this* stranger had Ava itching, like she was ready to jump right out of her skin. When the male’s head cocked the side and the very slightest bit of concern started creeping into his unbelievably cocky expression, Ava realized the all-encompassing vibrating
Alpha's Caged Mate Mate
When Ava snarled at the advancing male, she couldn’t tell which one of them was more surprised. This walking monster was probably shocked that female dared bare fangs at him. Ava was just shocked she *had* fangs.On further inspection, her fangs hadn’t protruded, but her gums ached in a way they hadn’t in a while. She was suddenly filled with a primal urge to protect herself in a way that she hadn’t since the night Layla died. Her chest fluttered again, and Ava would’ve been knocked off her feet if she weren’t already cowering on the floor. The fluttering, the hypersensitive awareness and anxiety she’d been feeling…this wasn’t sudden, she’d been feeling Mia reawaken all night. *But, why now*?Thick boots stopped in front of Ava and then she was face-to-face with the huge, irate male she’d just publicly challenged.“You feelin’ feisty, bitch?” He snarled back in her face. Mia might be present, but Ava didn’t seem to have any more access to her than she had in the dungeon. Continuing to
