Alpha's Obsession With His Pet Chapter 61 – Old Ghosts
(Victor)The Warden's office wants ten years of incident records before the crowning.Standard, apparently.Visiting Alphas, consecrated blood, everyone's history on the table.Cole's been hauling file boxes past my study door all morning like it's nothing.Because to him it is nothing."Last of them."He sets the box on my desk."Levi Knox's clerk wants them scanned by Friday.""Leave it. I'll go through them.""You're meant to be resting.""I'll rest when this circus is over."He goes.Decent man, Cole. Doesn't ask why an old wolf wants to sort paper personally.The folder's third from the top.PRUITT, T. — FATALITY — ROGUE INCURSION.Ten years, and my hands still remember the weight of that night better than they remember my own son's crowning suit.I’m fine.Open it.Read it like a stranger would.That's the job now. Read it like a stranger, find anything a stranger shouldn't find.Photos. The east ravine. Theodore on his back.You knew him forty years, the wolf says. You carried
Alpha's Obsession With His Pet Chapter 60 – Cold Sheets
(Angelique)Zack drinks his juice with the face of a child being poisoned."Dirt. And. Feet," he says, glaring at me."Every drop, bug."He drains it, gags theatrically, holds the cup upside down over his head to prove it's empty.Several droplets plop into his hair and I suppress a sigh.Washing his hair isn’t high on his list of favorite activities either.Somewhere in this house Rene Beck just felt a small warm flicker of me finding my son funny, because I can't even enjoy breakfast in private anymore.Tova appears with a tin of contraband cookies and today's report.She's got a report every morning.The woman collects the secrets in this house like stamps."Kitchen's at war. Brynn wants the salmon off the crowning menu, Maliyah wants it back on. Guess who wins?""Guess who doesn’t have to care.""You'd care if you saw the seating chart."She pries the tin open for Zack."One each, monster, your mother's watching. Anyway, have you heard the latest? Housekeeping's having a field day
Alpha's Obsession With His Pet Chapter 59 – No Quiet Left
(Rene)She's barely through the study door before I lock it behind her."You sent Cole to get me at eleven at night."She stops in the middle of the rug, arms crossed.She’s dressed in only a baggy t-shirt, legs bare, hair a mess."In front of the night guards.""We’re werewolves, Angelique. Were you under the impression there are pack members who are in the dark about what we do?""You summon me to your room for that. Not the study. What do you-""You know what."She does.I've been simmering since dinner and the bond carried every degree of it up to her room, the same way it's carrying her answer back to me right now.That low pull in her belly she'd die before admitting to."You're angry," she says."I'm loud. There's a difference."I cross to her."Three days I've had you in my head at full volume. Your temper. Your fear this afternoon. That thing you do at night when you think about my hands on you and hate yourself for it."Her chin comes up."You don't know who I’m thinking abo
Alpha's Obsession With His Pet Chapter 58 – What Karth Cost Me
ParkerThe woman in the gray cardigan has no scent.Not faint. Not masked badly. Nothing. A hole in the air shaped like a person.I've smelled that hole before.I walk out of the nursery wing at a pace that won't draw eyes.I keep walking, past the kitchen where Zack's negotiating a third cookie out of Tova, out the side door, across the lot to the staff quarters they stuck me in because the Warden said guest-right and Rene Beck said fine, the furthest building.Then I lock my door and call Donovan.He picks up on the second ring.Eleven years since I was his Alpha and he still answers like I never left."It's me. I need the file on the scent-dead ones."Quiet on the line. Then, "Where did you see one of them?""Here. In the Beck house. Middle-aged female, gray hair, plain, forgettable. She's been inside a week as a guest and I only crossed her path today.""Parker," his voice is careful. "Is it them?""It smells like the same nothing."He doesn't ask if I'm sure. He was there after.
Alpha's Obsession With His Pet Chapter 57 – Too Close
(Angelique)There’s a gray woman standing in front of my bedroom door when I pull it open.Not accidentally in front of. Right there, on the threshold, staring at our room.She's got no business here.Nobody's got business here except me and Zack."Miss Pruitt."She smiles the way some people flick on a light.There’s nothing real about it."I took a wrong turn. This house eats people."I don’t ask how she knows my name. I don’t think there’s anyone here who doesn’t know who I am."The main stairs are back that way."She doesn't move.Zack's on the rug behind me with his trucks, lining them up bumper to bumper the way he does, and her eyes go over my shoulder and land on him and stay there.Stay calm.Rene’s in a business meeting but he'll feel every beat of this and he’ll demand answers when he comes to check.Stay calm, stay bored, stay slow."What a serious little boy," she says. "He organizes. Most children would crash them.""He's four. He does both.""Mm." Her head tips. "Big ha

(Rene)"Take her and the boy with you today," I tell Cole. "To the east fence inspection. She rides along."Cole doesn't ask why I'm suddenly assigning fence duty to a woman I haven’t allowed out of the wing she’s housed in since her arrival.I should give him a raise. He deserves it.I don't watch the SUV leave.I sit at my desk and open the quarterly reports and start the clock on my phone like this is an experiment and I'm the one holding the clipboard.Simple test.The bond got louder.Fine.Louder isn't stronger.Distance should thin it the way it was thinned before.When I though all I was feeling was the echo of it after her death.I'll work a full day with forty miles between us and prove the flare is volume caused by proximity, nothing else.You already know that’s bullshit, the wolf says.I ignore him.Mile one, I feel the vehicle’s vibration through her spine. Not a guess. Pinpointed precisely.Mile ten, I know she's picked at the seam of her sleeve until it parted, because

(Angelique)I'm half into my clothes before Cole finishes the sentence.Shirt inside out. I don't fix it."How long?""Minutes."He’s avoiding looking at me.Guilt or fear of what Rene’s reaction would be. It doesn’t matter."He was right on my heels. I turned for one second."Rene's already off th

(Angelique)The door opens without a knock, and I know before I turn around that something's different tonight.He's been cold for days.Controlled.Touching me like it's a favor he's choosing not to do.Not tonight.Tonight he crosses the room like he's come to collect a debt."Take it off," he sa

(Rene)Brynn comes to the study after dark, walking in without knocking."I heard you wanted to know about the boy," she says. "Who put him in her."I set the pen down.She's been building to something all week, and here it is, dressed up as information I want."I got it out of her this afternoon.
Alpha's Obsession With His Pet Chapter 13 – The Price
(Angelique)"Sit. I made tea."Brynn's got two cups poured on the little table like we're girls catching up, and the wrongness of it crawls up my neck.We’ve never sat down to tea together in all the years we shared a house."What do you want?""I said sit."She doesn’t raise her voice.Brynn never
