Blamed By The Alpha Chapter Forty-One - Division
Nell couldn’t believe all her worst fears hadn’t been groundless. Fallon was very sick indeed, and the doc said it was just a matter of time. She wasn’t under suspicion, thankfully, though Liv was. Her sister was strutting about, telling everyone who would listen that she had Simon’s backing. To do what? Kill the pack’s heir. Not even he would stoop so low.Liam had sent for Sheriff Bostock, something else which didn’t go down well. She had tried to persuade him not to announce their news, but he was stubborn and went ahead anyway. And now the pack was divided. Unbelievably, the majority seemed to favour Simon. Could they not see how much better an Alpha Liam was? Hadn’t he proved it time and time again?Jack was loyal, of course, though it was hard for Alan Marchant and his family to openly support one twin before the other.“I’m sure it will work out for the best, Nell my dear.”Aunt Deborah was such a comfort usually, but this time her words rang hollow.Announcing she was expectin
Blamed By The Alpha Chapter Forty-Two - Heartache
They buried Fallon in the forest. Liam was half expecting Nell’s kinfolk to materialise but they never did. Simon seemed upset, too. He even offered up that if he’d suspected what Olivia was doing he would have put a stop to it. As to whether he would have told someone how dangerous, how truly malicious she was, he supposed he would never know.He looked across at Nell and was proud of her for keeping composed, though her eyes were red and everyone who knew her must be aware how devastated she was. His own grief was constant. Maybe they could talk about it later. Just for one day the pack could take care of itself.But his hours of reflection weren’t to be, given the precipitate arrival of Alpha Warren and his daughter. She had brought enough suitcases to sustain a whole herd of she-wolves. That was the kind of Luna he despised, only after the trappings. Though, to be fair, she’d brought most, if not all, of them herself.To make matters worse he was then persuaded to have a joint mat
Blamed By The Alpha Chapter Forty-Three - Electra
“Try reaching out.”Nell huffed. It was all very well Liam saying that but she didn’t know how. They were getting better at the mind link, though. This was a different matter entirely.“If I empty my mind any more I’ll start to forget who I am.”“Don’t joke about a thing like that,” he said.Too late, she remembered Martha and her craziness. Some said lunar madness.“I’m sorry, I’m just so wound up.”“What about this Robin character? Isn’t he around?”“It doesn’t work like that. At least, I don’t think it does. Can we talk about something else?”Alpha Liam checked his watch. “It’s late,” he said. “Why don’t you go to bed? I’ve just got these reports to read and then I’ll join you.”That reminded her of something, a pleasant memory from the past. They sounded like Mom and Dad used to, before the arguments.“Okay,” she said. “But I’ll be up early to make those pancakes I promised.”The kiss was perfunctory, too, which was fine with Nell. Any more strong emotion and she would crumble.A
Blamed By The Alpha Chapter Forty-Four - Elves
Robin was arguing with his uncle, a rare occurrence. He wanted to meet Nell and insisted it would do no harm to materialise in the forest and wait for her to join them there. This was one family reunion he believed was long overdue.“Electra wouldn’t like it.”“That’s not mother’s name, any more than Marlon is yours,” he huffed.“Admit it. You’re curious to see this werewolf she’s with.”“Maybe I am. But he’s not invited this time.”“You were unwise to give her your real name, Robin.”“I’m fed up with secrets. Why won’t you tell me where Electra is?”Uncle Melas frowned. “Are you saying you don’t know? When I have it on good authority you visited her when you were meant to be developing your powers.”He sighed. “I was combining both tasks. At least, I was hoping to.”“Freeing her isn’t an option, my boy. It was my sister’s choice to go there. Let’s not be frivolous about this.”“I’m not,” Robin insisted. “I just thought it would be easier to do this now. After the pups come, it might
Blamed By The Alpha Chapter Forty-Five - Rae
Liam felt obliged to say something to his twin brother’s mate, if only to ease her pent-up anxiety. It came out wrong.“Doctor Field’s not here.”Just in time he stopped himself from the even more controversial follow-up. Telling her he wasn’t aiming at her but at Si would only increase her nerves.“What do you mean?”She stared at him, huge-eyed. Gone was the sexy siren of the mating ball and he wondered if maybe Nell was right. Had Alpha Warren forced his daughter into this? All the eyeliner and eyeshadow in the district couldn’t cover up the fact that she’d been crying.He took her hand.“It’s not too late to have second thoughts.”“Simon said you might try to warn me off,” she flared.There was no helping some people. But he had to try. This was a vulnerable woman. He knew now how strong Nell was, without even realising it.“Look, Rae,” he began, “we got off on the wrong foot. Then the shooting incident happened on my watch. Let’s put it behind us for the sake of the pack.”The st
Blamed By The Alpha Chapter Forty-Six - Mall Incident
Sheriff Bostock rang in person to inform the Alpha there was a crisis. Unfortunately, he spoke to Simon, who didn’t see fit to pass on the message until an hour later. He claimed it had slipped his mind.“Rae’s been taken hostage and you forgot?”“He didn’t mention any names, just said ‘Luna’.”“So Nell’s expendable, is she?”Liam decided it was not the time to be arguing with his twin. He mind linked Jack and soon they were on their way to the mall, in the heart of human territory.“Try not to worry, Alpha,” his Beta said.“I was away from the office for five minutes. Trust him to fuck up.”“Should you be discussing this with me?”“It’s not as if I didn’t pass him in the corridor. He was whistling, undaunted that he’d persuaded Aunt Deborah to answer the phone. I’m surprised he didn’t try and claim it was her who failed to inform us both.”“Alpha Liam, please don’t make me privy to this.”“Why? Are you going to broadcast my concerns during training? I didn’t think so. Sorry, Jack. I’
Blamed By The Alpha Chapter Forty-Seven - Olivia
It wasn’t too hard to fool the sheriff’s deputy. She’d been at school with Dwayne Hudson and he wasn’t the brightest. Claiming she was bored, she asked him to let her out for a spell.“No can do, O-livia,” he said.He always pronounced her name like that and it never failed to irritate her.“Even lifers get a walk round the yard,” she wheedled.“In their chains,” he pointed out, looking smug.How long had it taken him to come up with that one?“So tie me up,” she chanced. “It’s not as if I’m going to try and escape or anything.”In fact, that was precisely what she had in mind. Doing time for years was not for the likes of her; she didn’t relish being prey.“Don’t got me no rope.”How on earth had he come by this job? And most men would have jumped at the chance to have a little fun with her. Not Dwayne. She’d known that from the outset.Josh was a different matter. She’d heard he was back in Oakley, though he hadn’t been to see her. That rankled. Even prisoners needed dentistry now a
Blamed By The Alpha Chapter Forty-Eight - Low Profile
Nell had already spotted the sheriff, crouching down behind a mannequin with a full skirt. His gun was still holstered and she guessed he didn’t want the situation to escalate.Her sister now turned those baby blues on her, though she seemed at a loss what to say, other than, “Stay out of this, El.”“You don’t really mean that.”She wondered if it was worth mentioning that this was the pack’s other Luna and decided against it. Things had ended badly with Simon, and Liv hated it when things didn’t go her way. Quite how she had managed to escape lock-up was a matter for another time.Generously, she supposed Sheriff Bostock couldn’t be everywhere at once. And now this.“I’m warning you.”Nell tried again. “Why don’t we talk about this like two rational people?”“Says the hybrid elf stroke werewolf who’s expecting an Alpha’s pups.”There were oohs and ahs at that. She even spotted a local journalist writing frantically in a spiral-bound notepad.“Don’t do this,” she pleaded. “Not in fron
