Alpha's Caged Mate Need To Pay
Xavier’s phone rang just as he stepped out of the hospital and into the brisk night air. When he looked down, it was Bella’s name he saw flashing across his screen. Instead of picking up immediately, he walked to his car, pressed the button on his key fob to activate the vehicle’s gull-wing doors, and slid inside. He needed the extra moments to collect his thought and tamp down the white-hot irritation that felt damn near all-consuming. Xavier didn’t know who he was angrier at, Ava for refusing his help, or himself for creating a breech so wide that it was impossible for the female to meet him half-way. Xavier grimaced. The knotted web of feelings he felt for Ava were far too volatile, too complex for him to bother considering at the moment. Thinking about his wayward mate sure as hell wasn’t going to do anything to help improve his mood. The phone was just shy of disconnecting when Xavier finally answered. “Speak.” “How is she?” The mistress’s concerned tone was
Alpha's Caged Mate A Special Guest
Ava collapsed onto her bed the second she stepped back into her suite at the club. After the constant rotation of IV drips the hospital had put her on, she’d not only kicked the worst of her illness, but she felt more rejuvenated than she had in years.It was amazing what a little electrolytes could do! Minus the unpleasant surprise visit from Xavier and his latest model of lackey, the hospital stay had begun to feel as pampering as an all-inclusive resort stay – forty-eight-hour vacation from her life. “You should have stayed a little longer then.” Bella said in light admonishment. “The extra rest would do you good, Ava.” Ava sighed. Bella hadn’t been thrilled when she’d checked herself out of the hospital and called her for a ride back to the club. She understood her boss’ concern, but nice as it her convalescence had been, that was two fewer days for Ava to reach her ridiculous quota and earn her freedom. “I don’t have any time to waste, Bella. No offense, but
Alpha's Caged Mate Alpha's Lament
“A glass of wine, if you would.” Ava jumped at the sudden voice, only to realize it was Liam Smith, Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack, making the request. Ava tried to settle back into her skin but found it difficult to stem her trembling now that it had begun. “You’re shaking,” he said, probably wondering why some girl had wandered into his suite only to stand quaking by the door like a deer in headlights. Ava did her best to snap out of it, jerking toward a nearby bar cart. “My apologies, Mr. Smith.” His eyebrows rose, “Have we met? How could you tell I’m Mr. Smith in a room this full?” His tone was playful enough, but Ava was beginning to sweat. “Lucky guess?” She forced a small laugh that sounded strained even to her ears. There were probably a million excuses Ava could have made for guessing who her high-paying client was, but her thoughts were too frenetic to fall neatly into place.Ava felt like she was doing a terrible job of not bringing attention to he
Alpha's Caged Mate Confrontation Between Two Alphas
Ava stood in weighty silence, unsure of how to respond to what Liam had just revealed to her. She wasn’t used to people opening up to her – hell, at this point she wasn’t used to people speaking to her like a sentient being with feelings and opinions. Needless to say, Ava had no idea how to navigate sensitive subject matter. Did he want her to ask about his mate? Surely, he wouldn’t have brought it up if it weren’t a subject he was comfortable talking about. Right? “Is she…” Ava trailed off, opting to let him take the lead on the subject, so as to not accidentally offend. “She died,” He said, his words understandably clipped. “Rogues. She was a *marvelous* fighter. A real warrior up until the very end.” His words were heavy, prompting Ava to believe that there was so much more to the story he hadn’t said. Ava decided to back off. After all, she respected someone who’d clearly felt pain and just wanted to keep something close to themselves. “I’m so sorry for yo
Alpha's Caged Mate Conversation With Dylan
“Mail call!” Ava opened at her door to find Bella holding out a nondescript envelope with her name scrawled across it in neat script. A took the envelope and stepped aside, letting the madame into her room. She’d been in the middle of her daily workout. It had only been a week or two since she’d started her new routine, but Ava was already starting to see progress.Every couple of days, she found that she had the stamina to push herself a little farther, and the curvature of her bones were gradually being replaced by a lightly defined padding of muscle. A steady stream of calorie dense foods – curtesy of Bella – had done the trick of leveling her up from ‘gaunt’ to ‘thin’. The hallow frailty left by years of neglect were slowly but surely being wiped away, leaving Ava feeling amazing.She’d told herself not to think about it, but another reason Ava attributed to her good mood was the fact that she hadn’t seen Xavier in a while. Ever since she’d left him standing alone with his t
Alpha's Caged Mate Hate And Jealousy
“Whoring bitch.” Madison cursed under her breath as she watched the male and Ava walk away hand-in-hand. It was ridiculous how much attention Ava got, especially from someone as refined as Dylan Miller. What did that pasty, stick-think nobody have that she didn’t? Rickets? Consumption? Some other old timey disease that only affected whisper thin orphans on the streets of Charles Dickens novels. She was a shameless slut, just like the rest of Sutton’s ‘court’. Unlike everyone else, though, Ava didn’t even bother to pay her dues. Madison had been shilling drinks in a miniskirt in the godforsaken place since her freshman year – with a fake ID, of course. It had taken her *years* to earn a spot catering on the VIP floor. But three months of scrubbing toilets and suddenly Ava’s picking up the club’s most exclusive johns. It was honestly insulting! Especially since, apparently, the only dick Ava had to suck was Bella’s.Madison had it on good authority that in the time since
Alpha's Caged Mate Warn
Jealousy. That’s what this all boiled down to. Money, status, power…you didn’t have to be making world-altering decisions to covet those things. Everyone from national leaders to catty cocktail waitresses wanted the same things, in their own ways. If you were privileged enough to not have bigger things to worry about, that is. She almost couldn’t blame the girl for her envy. Ava got it; she really did. There had been plenty of times in high school where she’d been on the receiving end of bitter girls who coveted her relationship with Xavier. Just like there had been just as many times when she’d quietly seethed whenever Xavier’s eye turned on a female that wasn’t her. This song and dance were as old as time, and maybe it made Ava as self-centered as Madison clearly thought, but Ava felt so wholly removed from such trivial pettiness, it was all she could do to keep from laughing in the irate girl’s face. This was kiddy bullshit, to be frank. Madison clearly had no idea w
Alpha's Caged Mate A Mysterious Guest
Layla had once told Ava that the best way to survive a hostile environment was to blend in. The goal wasn’t to be one of the enemy, but if you convinced them you were one and the same, you were golden. It was one of the first lessons Ava had learned in the dungeon, and it had proven to be the most valuable. Don’t stand out. Don’t be special. Don’t be a hero. If Madison’s little pity party were to be believed, Ava hadn’t been doing a very good job of adhering to at least two of the three philosophies, despite her best efforts. If she was lucky, that was about to change. Ava slowly breathed in and out three times to steady her nerves. And when that didn’t work, she tried it again. Finally, she decided to hell with it, and pushed open the door to the court’s staffroom. She’d never been in the room before today, but Ava hadn’t realized until last night what a mistake that had been. She’d been so caught up in the whirlwind drama that was her life, that she had forg
