Blamed By The Alpha Chapter Fifty-Two - An Unforeseen Predicament
Nell thought that Alpha Liam looked well, despite her comment to him in response to what she saw as his unnecessary criticism. Perhaps he hadn’t meant it like that. She sat in back, grateful for her gloves. It was hard to get warm after leaving sunny climes.“I’m sorry I didn’t see it coming,” she said, after a few miles.The silence was oppressive, just like in the bad old days.When she raised her head from her lap she saw that Alpha Liam had turned to stare at her.“I’m not blaming you, Nell,” he said.“That’s a first.”She covered her mouth with her mitten, realising she’d spoken her thought aloud and failed to use his title.Before she could make amends, he said, “None of this is your fault.”Nell sighed. “I wish I could believe you truly meant that, Alpha.”“What’s gotten into you? Why so down?”She glanced at Jack, well aware he could hear everything.“Josh was planning to deliver my pups early by Caesarean. How do you think I feel?”The only answer was a growl. Surprisingly, i

It would have been a long journey to the colony had Robin not agreed to transport them.“No unbelievers,” he said, smiling from ear to ear.Jack held up his hands.“Maybe I should just stay here with the vehicle,” he said.“Yeah,” Alpha Liam said. “You do that.”The retreat could have been anywhere. All Nell knew was that it was warm and felt surreal. Elves came and went through invisible portals, most of them looking solemn.“I shouldn’t have smiled.”“Why not?”“You’ll see,” Robin said.Nell gripped Alpha Liam’s hand tightly and reached out to her half-brother. They made an unlikely trio joined together like that as they waited for someone to come to the door.A panel slid back, possibly the paranormal equivalent of a spyhole, and she saw what looked like coloured smoke behind the wrinkled being who uttered just the one word, “Yes?”It was a relief not to have to express her ignorance of elvish. Perhaps something in the atmosphere was acting as a magical translator.“Wynreth,” Robin
Blamed By The Alpha Chapter Fifty-Four - Rae
It was a difficult thing she was having to do, but the Alpha’s daughter hadn’t been raised to shirk any responsibility. She knew her mom, Sarah, must be worried back home in the mountains. At least she was relatively safe while ever the two packs were considered to be allies.Knowing Simon as she did, Rae wasn’t sure how long that would last.In the meantime, she was playing the part of the perfect Luna, sharing Alpha Simon’s bed when he demanded and generally acting as if she considered the majority of she-wolves beneath her. Only a handful knew the truth. If it got back to this particular Alpha, her life wouldn’t be worth living.She considered that as she gazed at her complexion in the mirror fixed to the dresser. Too much blusher? In her opinion, yes, though her so-called mate seemed to prefer the overdone look when it came to make-up. Those false eyelashes would be the death of her.I look like a doll.In an effort to protect the Beta’s mate, Rae had pleaded with Simon to let her

Nell wasn’t privy to what was said at the Council meeting. Liam knew from the look on her face she was smarting about that. He consoled her in the only way he could: with kisses.“Is it dangerous, what they’ve asked you to do?”“How did you know?”“Actually, that’s not strictly true.”Robin. Her half-brother turned up at the most inopportune times.“Stay out of this,” he growled. Then: “Would you mind? I’d like some privacy with my Luna.”“Tell her, Alpha. Or you’ll regret it. Trust me, I know these things.”“You volunteered for whatever it is, didn’t you?”She was so astute, this not-so-small hybrid.“Someone needs to suss out the extent of Si’s madness, his ambitions. Why shouldn’t it be me?”Nell reached up a short way and put her arms round his neck.“Because I love you too much to lose you now,” she said.Liam turned sharply, but Robin was already fading away.“You two are so alike,” he murmured, rubbing noses with her.It gave him an idea.The disappointment on her face was kill

Nell was furious when Robin told her what else had been discussed at the Council. He’d not been present but had heard it second hand from Melas.“They talked him into it?”“No, listen to me, Arielle. It was his idea. The elders foresaw something like this coming and decided it could work to our advantage, ridding the territory of Simon Marchant and his supporters forever.”“Is that why you weren’t surprised when he mind linked me and told me he’d been imprisoned by his own brother?”“He also said help is on the way. A two-pronged attack always works better in any battle.”“Had much experience have you?” she huffed, folding her arms.It was then he saw fit to disclose his age and credentials. Her jaw dropped.“I suppose all of you think I’m just a baby.”“No, Arielle. Your coming was foretold long ago,” Melas said, appearing beside a silver birch.“That pipe’s empty,” she said. “At least, I can’t smell tobacco of any kind.” She saw their astonished faces. “Have I said something wrong?”

This time the plan was different. Josh was intending to confront Alpha Liam in person so as to obtain his money. He didn’t really want Nell. She suspected he never had. Thankfully, there were no physical demands and he didn’t say anything overly crude in front of her. There was a lot of cussing, but she supposed that was only natural in a frustrated male.“I keep telling you, Liam is Simon’s prisoner.”“Then I’ll negotiate with him, like before.”Well, that was news to her, and of the unwelcome kind at that.“Would you really kill my pups? They’re innocent,” she said.There was no point telling him one was destined to live among the elves; he would never have believed her. And she didn’t want to drag them into this, as well. Though perhaps such an ancient race of people would take it in their stride.“Maybe not, but the Alphas won’t know that.”Maybe? The inconclusive remark had her fretting all night. At least the motel room was clean and had twin beds. She turned towards the window,

Rae was outraged by Alpha Simon’s request – more of a demand, really – yet heartened by the news Louisa’s childhood friend was here. Then the nerves set in.“Have you seen him? What’s he like?”“You’ll be fine,” Alpha Liam said.“Trust me, they’re not all like you. Other Alphas, I mean.”Had she gone too far? The sound of raised hackles was all too familiar. Her father had been fond of that particular prelude to punishment. Rae hoped he was okay, though didn’t like to ask. This pack had its own troubles.Deborah came to her rescue. “You can say that again. Alpha Liam’s the best of the lot.”“No offence, Alpha,” she managed.“None taken, Rae.”Deliberately, she took an age to get ready, wanting to antagonise someone she now regarded as her ex. Then she panicked, hoping Alpha Brock wouldn’t think badly of her. The nerves were inexplicable. After today, she was unlikely to set eyes on him again.She chose her favourite blue dress and used make-up sparingly, in contrast to the past. As sh

He’d had time to think both before and after Rae’s arrival. They’d had a decent heart-to-heart as well. She deserved better than Si, that was for sure. Hearing that his twin was planning to oust him wasn’t a surprise – once, he would have welcomed the notion – but, for Nell’s sake, that couldn’t be allowed to happen.Liam knew she didn’t care for status given her appalling background circumstances. At least it hadn’t been all bad, though Martin Field was never going to be the same again. He was all she had now, him, the pups, the pack and not to forget the elves, though it wouldn’t be practical to live with them.Could he permit his hybrid pup to live elsewhere? Only if certain conditions were fulfilled. He’d want to see her regularly, that was for sure, and not because he didn’t trust Melas and Robin. After all, he was basing this on a prophecy delivered by Nell’s dying elf mother, something he had never thought to question.When Simon came by, in something of a hurry, he didn’t know
