Chapter 28
"Eric!" I call to him as the two of us make our way onto the training grounds. Eric's eyes find mine then they move to Alpha Kenn, probably confusing him.
"Alpha Kenn," he greets. "To what do I owe the pleasure?"
"My Beta, Lucas, your sister's mate, I have come to collect him and move south, but I recently discovered he left last night. The issue is, no one knows where he has gone."
"What if he was attacked," I cut in.
Eric sighs, taking a moment to think. "I'll have search parties organized. You and your men are welcome to stay here as long as it takes. Caroline must be worried."
"That's an understatement," I tell him.
"I should jo

After finishing up in the bathroom, I swipe my hair from my face and walk into the bedroom. Eric comes in, and I promptly turn to him. "Are you going out tomorrow to search for Lucas?" "Yes, everything is ready." "Caroline wants to go really bad, but I told her that I would stay with her like you said. I feel for her. I can't even imagine what she must be thinking."Eric disappears into the bathroom while I close the windows, knowing that it will get too cold to leave them open. Caroline has retired to her temporary bedroom down the hall, though I doubt she will be doing much sleeping."She told me that you are getting along with Alpha Kenn," Eric calls to me. "Calling him James?" His tone changes to somethin
Big Bad Alphas Chapter 30
I do not know where last night came from. It was sudden, a spur of the moment kind of thing, and it has me second guessing everything. In the moment my mind was clouded with lust, a need for him that I wanted to conquer, but now that the sheets have settled, questions come to mind.There is no doubt that what we did has me walking a little funny this morning, and I wish I could only focus on that. When I woke up, Eric was gone. I cannot be upset about this, as we laid together for a long while afterward before falling asleep, though he did not talk much. Either way, I woke up wrapped in the sheets, alone and nude. It is a weird thing to wake up like that. My head was a little dizzy, I was looking for Eric, and I could not present myself downstairs without showering first. The entireeventlast night felt like a dream.
Big Bad Alphas Chapter 31
I walk into the bedroom from the bathroom and find Eric laying on the bed, looking very worn out. I roll my eyes at the sight of him, like a child who spent all day playing outside, running around, and who has eventually exhausted himself. A smile creeps onto my face along with a subtle blush. He looks peaceful."Staring?"My brows furrow. "No, just... I'm going to get some water downstairs."Eric's eyes drift up to me and he motions for me to come over. I do, and he surprisingly tugs me down onto the bed, making me lay beside him. The bedcovers are soft and plush underneath me. "I won't worry about Alpha Kenn anymore," he says, and I smile, even more, approving of his statement. "I suppose you have turned me into a jealousAlpha."

I feel guilty laying beside him, as the feeling of Alpha Kenn's lips on mine will not leave me—it is bullying me. The event replays in my mind while I lay beside him sleeplessly, the feeling returning and the panic also, my rush to escape when I should have stayed and questioned him more. Why was he in Eric's office? To find papers, he said, but should I believe him? Why else would he be in there? No good reason with strong evidence comes to mind.Finally today I am picking up Kendra, and that will give me time to think during the drive. Eric has volunteered to come with me, but I have managed to convince him to stay here with Alpha Kenn. Without much rest, I say my temporary goodbye to Caroline and head out of the house to find Eric, to let him know that I am leaving.The two guards taking me, weirdly the ones who detained me in

Walking up to the house, I glance behind me at the two guards waiting in the car before ringing the doorbell. An array of speedy footsteps and squeak-like cheers erupts from the other side, and I spot Kendra peeking through the side window. I smile and wave. The door is swinging open in a matter of seconds."Isabella!" She shouts and clings onto me. My arms wrap around her, a barrier between her and the world. "I'm so excited!"I squat down and brush the stray hairs from her beautiful face. "Did you do your hair yourself?""Yes, Moms with the Luna. She told me not to open the door unless it's you. I brushed it and tied it up like you used to," she explains and twirls the crooked pigtails between her fingers."Alright. How about I brai

The car ride is not quiet at all. Since Kendra had plenty of sleep, she is terribly energized and bursting with excitement. The two guards up front have the skill of shutting people out, as their relaxed faces are not reflected onto me. I love Kendra with all my heart, but the girl cannot sit still. Finally, we stop the car so I can grab her one of the books she packed with her things. Once A Wrinkle in Time is locked in her hands, Kendra's lips are sealed.My confusing dream had me up for most of the night, so I lay my head down on Kendra's lap, and I take a small nap. She rests the book on my head as she gets lost in the pages.Time flys by and before I know it, Kendra is shaking me awake, cheering that we are here. "Come on; I want to get out!"I tiredly sit up and rub my knuckles i

"Is it weird not having mom here?" "It was weird without you at home," Kendra tells me as she gets comfortable underneath the blankets. "I want to be here with you, Isabella." "You are here with me." The lights in the guest room are dim. I sit beside Kendra, looking down at her beautiful face as she fights to keep her eyes open. I shut all the curtains and made sure everything is perfect for her to sleep soundly, which included closing the bathroom door. Now that everything is settled, she yawns. "I know. But I want to stay here forever, with you." "Don't be silly," I mumble and brush back the dark, stray hairs from her face. "I'll be just a door away, okay?"

"What is that?""Eric's mark.""Isabella," Caroline rushes towards me to get a closer look, "that's serious. That's—wow." An excited look casts over her face, and I am surprised. With Lucas missing, I thought seeing the mark would make her depressed."Are you okay?" I ask and take my seat at the kitchen counter. Marina greets me and I give her a smile with questioning eyes. She shrugs. Marina, too, has grown used to Caroline's depression over her mate."I'm fine. Where's Kendra?""She's still sleeping," I say, "she hasn't slept much until last night. Did Eric stop by, was there any news on the search?"Caroline blushes. "No, n
