BLOOD BOND: TIED TO MY ALPHA 19. Failing The Sniff Test
19 – FAILING THE SNIFF TESTREBEKKAMy face?What did Lord Stephan mean by what the hell happened to my face?I had a confused look on my face but the way he stared at me intently told me he was not joking.I got up from the bed and walked gingerly to the full length mirror at the right side of the ward.Once I got into full view, I shrieked in terror and jumped back.What the hell was this?I could scarcely believe what I was seeing, my face, my beautiful face was covered in boils. “Doctor! What is this?” My voice was shaking with panic.“It’s like I told you, you would suffer some lingering side effects,” Dr Purcell repeated.“Oh my goodness,” I covered my face with my palm and crouched low, near the ground. I could not believe that Lord Stephan saw me in such a state, I must have looked pathetic. So very pathetic. Whatever attraction I imagined he had for me would have evaporated by now.“Doctor, is there nothing you can do?” Lord Stephan’s voice was controlled and firm.“I’m sor

20 – WAR COUNCILSTEPHANI looked up at Claude with angry eyes.Why?Why now of all times?Now when I was ready and willing to show this Damon fellow why it was a bad idea to ignore my warnings, I was going to beat the brakes out of him. I didn’t care if he was an elite guard or an elite ass, I had indulged his disrespect for far too long.Damon too had paused in his stride, he was also listening to what Claude just said.I turned back to look at Rebekka, she sat there looking scared out of her mind, her beautiful face covered all over with boils.I had to admit, even seeing her like that, I still thought she was beautiful.I looked at Damon again and then I made for the door.“That’s the blue-eyed Damon?” Claude asked as we made our way back to the pack house.I nodded wordlessly.“I should have known that he also had something to do with that Rebekka girl,” he added.I turned sharply at him, “She has nothing to do with him!” I exploded.Claude jerked away from me, “Chill man, you ar

21 - SPOTLESSREBEKKAIt was starting to look like there was an upside to having your face covered in boils. I was left the hell alone.Dr Purcell and his daughter, Kaitlin did not disturb me at all and allowed me the necessary time to heal.It wouldn’t exactly look good if someone who had boils all over her face was busy around the clinic attending to the needs of patients.Despite the sordid state of my face, my heart was in an even worse state.Stephan had smelled Damon on me, I was very sure of that. The only saving grace was that the scent was not distinct so he could not place it.Why was he that angry? Did he want me?I could not fully understand him. The other day when he came to me in the cleaning room, I felt that we shared a genuine connection and bond.What did I know? All my life, I had never known the affection or touch of a man… Until Damon and Stephan.My mind drifted over to Damon, the passionate look in his eyes when he said he was mine. The magical words that spell

22 – TAKE CARE OF BUSINESSDAMONI didn’t know which one was more surprising, Stephan volunteering to go track down the witches and warlocks himself instead of the Elite Guards or the fact that alpha Michael agreed to it.Was I the only person present who thought that it was such a stupid idea?Why was everyone else in the war council nodding as if Stephan just came up with a fantastic idea? This was stupid.The boy was going to get himself killed.What experience did he have that would allow him to succeed in this mission? Well, if nobody was going to say anything about it, fine by me, I would hold my peace too.I smirked as I looked at him.Stephan was so desperate to prove himself that he just eventually signed up for his own death.In a bid to become a more worthy heir, Stephen would end up dying and leaving the pack heirless.A small smile crossed my face, that indeed would be a delight to see, I was not going to miss it for the world.That was the only excitable thing that happ

23 – SHAKENSTEPHAN“How many?” Claude asked.“Five.”“Five!” his eyes widened.“Yes, five.”“Stephan, are you certain that you can get this done with just five men?” There was a tinge of worry in Claude’s voice.For the first time in a long time, he made no attempt to go for the bottle even though it was within reach.“That was the exact number of Elite Guards that would have been sent if I didn’t volunteer to go instead.”“Yeah Stephan, they are professionals, that makes sense. You should have requested more men.”I eyed him, “What are you trying to imply?”Claude sniffled and kept quiet.“No, go ahead and say it.”“Stephan you know as well as I know that the Elite Guards are the best of the best, it makes sense to send only five.”“What are you trying to imply Claude, I want you to say it.”He sighed, “They are all combat tested and have strategic skills that you lack.”I arched an eyebrow, “I lack?”“C’mon, don’t give me that look. Fair enough, your father made sure that you were

24 – HEAD SPINNERREBEKKAWhat did Damon mean by he had business to take care of? Was he a merchant of some sort?No, what was I saying, he told me that he was trained as a pack guard.I recalled the uniform and the mask that he was wearing when he saved me from those thugs. I had never seen any pack guard dressed like that before.I made it a point to ask him and find out what he actually did for a living when he comes back from wherever he went to.I found myself yearning for him and wishing that he hadn’t gone so quickly.Why did I shy away from him when he came over? What is wrong with you Rebekka?Why was I acting as if I was not interested in his touch?I remembered how hard I blushed when he stroked my cheeks. The thought caused me to smile.He said he was going to teach me to fight. Me?The thought excited me and scared me at the same time, was that really necessary?He said that whoever was after me might try again to hurt me so it was necessary but then the idea that someone

25 – GUARD DOGDAMONIt was essential that I left the pack ahead of Stephan's group.If I wanted to get where I was going ahead of time, I needed the head start.I had decided after I left Rebekka that it was not enough fun to just sit on the sidelines and watch the so-called heir carry out his mission, I needed to be involved somehow.I had been navigating for some hours now and I recognized the mountain head from one of the maps, I grinned to myself, I was close to my target.I paused suddenly, my body tingling and alert, I could feel a pair of eyes on me.Was there a sentry or a scout? I was being watched, I could feel it.I frowned, the pair of eyes that were on me didn’t feel human.I resumed walking, causally on the outside but very alert inside, my eyes were scanning the hill ranges for any sign of my watcher but I could not spot it.Whoever or whatever it was, it was skilled in stealth, but I knew, sooner or later, it was going to show itself.The sun was already hiding itself

26 – TEA PARTYREBEKKA“Are you Rebekka Kent?” a deep voice asked from behind.I turned around startled.An intimidating looking pack guard was standing behind me.I backed away from him as my panic began to rise.What was all this? I had just woken up in the morning to start my day and now a pack guard was looking for me?“I am, is there any problem?”He must have noticed the look of apprehension on my face because he made an attempt to smile, “You are not in any trouble, miss.”I still looked at him suspiciously but I was much calmer now.“You have been given a high summon.”My eyes widened in shock. A High Summon, me?“Sorry, there must be some sort of mistake, are you sure you are talking to the right person?”“You are Rebekka Kent, right?”I nodded.“Then it is definitely you.”I was still shocked, a high summon? But who could be summoning me? Damon and Stephen were both out of the pack on some secret mission that neither of them told me about. I didn’t know any other high born.

BLOOD BOND: TIED TO MY ALPHA 95. Stepping In Filth
95 – STEPPING IN FILTHDAMON POV“Where the hell do you think you are going?”I walked briskly after her and grabbed her arm and turned her around roughly.“Do you think you can just walk out on me?” My eyes were wide and darting around searching her face.Where was Rebekka getting this false confidence from? Did she think her life was just something that she could just throw away like that?Under my watch? That was not going to happen.“Let go of me, Damon.”Sneering, I let my fingers curl around her arm and held her more firmly, “You are not leaving here until I have talked some sense into that thick skull of yours.”“I don’t have time for this, people are dying, Damon.”“Let them die, the fuck do I care?”Rebekka gasped in shock as she looked at me in disbelief.“Yes, does that surprise you? Huh?”She looked up at me with hurt eyes, “How can you be this callous? Can’t you see how much suffering is going on around you?”“So far as it is not you, I could not give a shit!” I yelled at
BLOOD BOND: TIED TO MY ALPHA 94. Clash Of Conviction
94 – CLASH OF CONVICTIONDAMON POVAs I walked down the back entrance of the clinic, I felt a knot in my stomach. I didn’t like the feeling. I knew that I should have come back earlier, as soon as that pretentious dick, Vane, stopped me from using the Elite Guards, I should have rushed back here.The truth was that I was scared of what I would find, a Rebekka in a coma with red sores running down her spine.A part of me didn’t want to see that, to admit that I had failed her, that I had failed in general. Coming this morning was just routine I told myself.With how fast her own case was progressing, there was no way that she would still be alive now. She surely was dead. It was better I met her corpse than to meet her suffering and feeling helpless in her presence.I smirked as I walked into the clinic, the smell of disinfectants was so thick in the air that I could not distinguish her scent from anything else.Finding her in this mess would be a pain, “Hey…” I grabbed a hold of a wi
BLOOD BOND: TIED TO MY ALPHA 93. A Deadly Choice
93 – A DEADLY CHOICEREBEKKA POVI was still caught up in the heat of the moment, I still could not believe that what I had done had worked.It was not until Luna’s Gwen’s voice had replayed in my head like ten times that the implication of what she was asking for dawned on me.Mass Produce it?The excitement vanished from my eyes and I blinked as reality hit me hard. I looked at Luna Gwen, she was not facing me again, she was smiling with Dr Purcell as they celebrated the medical breakthrough.When Luna Gwen finally turned to look at me, I had to force a smile.“Whatever you need Rebekka, just let me know.”I nodded sheepishly with my hands in my lap.As soon as Luna Gwen walked away, I ran straight to Kami’s brother. I had to see and feel for myself that the vaccine had worked.He was blinking and looking around in confusion, “Are you okay?” I asked him?“Kami,” he muttered and then his face contorted as he fought back the tears that were building up.I could not control my own emot
BLOOD BOND: TIED TO MY ALPHA 92. Good News, Bad News
92 – GOOD NEWS, BAD NEWSREBEKKA POVWhat if, just what if my blood could be used as some sort of vaccine for the plague?That was the only common denominator between Lord Stephan recovering from a fatal WolfsBane poisoning and me surviving a plague that no one else seemed to have a cure for.I was dead certain that it would work but also scared, what if it didn’t? I would just be wasting precious time and sharing unnecessary hope.No, I would not tell it to anyone, I would keep it to myself and I would put it to the test and do it quickly. The sooner I ruled it out, the better.“Rebekka?”I spun around to see Miss Caitin staring at me with surprise.She was looking at the hospital gown I was putting on, “Are you sick?”“No,” I almost yelled. “Just ran out of fresh clothes.”She sneered, “Get dressed into something proper, there are more people that need those gowns… and what are you doing just standing there? The left wing is not going to take care of itself.”“Of course, right away,

91 – AN OLIVE BRANCHDAMON POVVane!I didn’t have time for that bastard yet, what the hell was he doing telling men that I ordered to get ready, to stand down?I frowned and my eyes narrowed, I still did not turn or acknowledge his presence, “Are you deaf and dumb? Grab your lances and spears and follow me!” I yelled again.The men stiffened and looked at each other in confusion.“Yes sir!” they echoed.“I said, Stand down Damon!” Vane’s voice was much louder than mine and even more forceful.I sneered and turned to look at him, “What is it that we have here? The chief of the Elite Guards? No, the right hand to the alpha? No… that’s right, you are nobody to give me commands!” I yelled back.“You are all dismissed!” Vane yelled at the guards present.They shuddered and began to shuffle away.“If any of you take another step, I will have his head!” I commanded without even looking at them.Everyone came to a halt and stood very still.My eyes were on Vane and they were not happy eyes.

90 – A CRAZY IDEAREBEKKA POVConstriction, that was what it felt like, it was as if something was pressing my throat on both ends and stopping me from breathing.Even the oxygen mask that I was given did not seem to totally alleviate the problem.My eyes kept darting back and forth in my socket as I was looking at the white coats taking care of me and the other patients.They did not seem to know what they were doing, they just hung an IV bag overhead and put the drip in my arm – the same drip that they had been administering to all the sick patients and not one had gotten better.I lay there on my bed, panicking, unable to talk or gather the strength to move. I doubted if Dr Purcell knew what happened to me, he must have been so busy dealing with cases that I doubted if he even knew that I went out with Damon or that I was now infected with the plague.This could not be the end of me, I refused to believe it. I had promised Kami’s brother that I would save him – I could not die wit
BLOOD BOND: TIED TO MY ALPHA 89. Blockade
89 – BLOCKADEDAMON POV“What the hell is that?” Rebekka gasped in shock.I squinted as I stared at the massive coiled beast that was just under the surface of the water. It must have been about fifty feet long, I could not really tell seeing as it coiled into itself.The scales were reddish and black all mingled together, large like a bronze shield and by the looks of it, just as hard.“What do we do?” I could hear the panic in her voice and I wished she was not so agitated, but at the same time, I did not blame her.So this was the cause of the outbreak that had been decimating the pack? A part of me was relieved that it was not the black stone dagger but damn it… that would have been far easier to destroy than this massive creature.I looked at Rebekka, “We retreat,” I said in a low voice that could barely be heard above the rushing water.“Retreat?” she yelled back.I winked at her to try and signal her to stop shouting but she was not getting my point.“We cannot retreat Damon,
BLOOD BOND: TIED TO MY ALPHA 88. Serpent Of Scales
88: SERPENT OF SCALESREBEKKA POVMy jaw dropped when I heard that and it felt like someone smashed into my chest with a hammer.I staggered back and looked at him, my eyes were mingled with the hurt that was burning in my heart.Damon sneered, “Oh don’t give me that, you didn’t seem to care about him when you were pleading for me in my bathroom.”I gasped.A wave of guilt washed through me and I didn’t want to be there right then. What made me think that seeing Damon was going to be a good idea?“Exactly,” he chipped in when he saw that I was silent. “Hey, look at the bright side, if he never comes back, you never have to deal with the guilt of whether to tell him or not about our little… adventure.”He grinned at me, his blue eyes staring at me with an intensity that made me uncomfortable.I sniffled and looked down to the floor, looked like everywhere I went, it was bad news, “I am glad you are alive,” I said in a downcast tone and turned back to head into the clinic.Damon sighed,
BLOOD BOND: TIED TO MY ALPHA 87. The Contagion
87: THE CONTAGION REBEKKA POVI blinked twice to make sure that what I was seeing was correct. Scales?Reddish black for that matter, a color combination I had never seen before.A mixture of excitement and panic shot through me as my eyes stayed glued to the microscope as I peered into it.I could not believe it, I was operating under a weak premise that the disease might somehow be water borne and now that premise was paying off.I could not wait to let the Luna know.I jumped down the stool and sprinted out of the lab, back to the lobby.The chaos momentarily threw me off again, so many new faces and sick people were littered all over, coughs and cries were coming from all over the place.Without even knowing it, my eyes went in search of the little boy from earlier. I had promised him that his sister would be alright but she died, right before our eyes.I could not find him in all that chaos and I started to panic a bit. It took a bit of time for me to calm myself down, he still
