Bound By Alpha's Blood

RILEY“Are you sure you have the right address, miss?”The cab driver’s brows knit together as he stared at me through the rearview mirror. “This, uh… doesn’t quite seem right.”I looked up from my phone and glanced out the windows.I’d been so wrapped up in looking at old pictures of Dominic and me, trying to convince myself that everything would be okay once this was all over, that I hadn’t noticed the scenery around us changing. We were well past the city now, closer to the mountains, with little around us besides dense forest.He slowed the cab and pointed at the screen on the center console.“The GPS is barely working,” he said. “We’re too close to the mountain. There’s no way anyone would live or work all the way out here.”“Can you please keep going?” I insisted, sitting forward. “It has to be here somewhere around here.”“Miss, it would be a waste of both of our time,” the driver huffed. “There’s no such building in this valley, and I’m not going to leave the main road.”I trie

RILEYEven after five years, I recognized him immediately.He was just as breathtakingly beautiful as I’d remembered, more so, if that was even possible.Killian Bryce was all angles: high cheekbones, a jaw that could cut glass, and a straight nose. His shoulders were broad, his body lean and well-toned. His hair was the same shade of snowy white as Domi’s, artfully disheveled and shaggy in a way that should have looked messy and inappropriate in a business setting, yet somehow only made him more attractive.But apart from that moonlit hair, the thing that stood out the most about him was his eyes. They were striking, startling green, large and framed by long, thick, silvery eyelashes.As I looked into them, it was as if the entire world had gone quiet. My surroundings blurring until it was only the two of us in the room.My heart skipped a beat.A low whistle interrupted the fragile moment.“Well, well, well. Who is this lovely lady?” the handsome man seated beside Killian asked, ti

RILEYUnsurprising in the least, the three tall, attractive men following me through the hospital attracted a lot of attention.Killian, Jason, and Dale were all striking in their own rights, and each garnered plenty of interest from nurses and patients alike as we moved down the corridors. Not that I could blame them. They were practically towers of powerful masculinity, each moving with quiet purpose and grace.As we arrived at Dominic’s room, I turned to them.“Wait outside for a moment. I’ll call you.”Then I quickly stepped through the door. I wanted to check on Dominic first before deciding how to introduce them to him.Inside, Hannah and Domi were watching a superhero cartoon on the television, but the second I entered the room, it was all but abandoned.“Mommy!” Domi cried, a cute little smile forming on his lips.His genuine excitement at seeing me, even when he was so weak, warmed my heart, and I rushed to his side.“Hi, baby,” I murmured.I bent down and kissed him on his p

KILLIANI had been lost in thought, studying Dominic’s medical record, when I was interrupted by a firm knock on the door.“Alpha?” Jason’s voice came from the other side. “May I come in?”I put down the paper with a sigh.“Yes. Come in.”I had been tucked away in a private room of the hospital the hospital staff had offered me so I could process everything that had happened since Riley Clarkson had crash-landed into my life and detonated everything I knew to be true.The solitude had been a blessing after all the commotion, but it had been fleeting.“Everything’s been arranged,” Jason reported dutifully. After closing the door behind him, he dipped his head in a subtle gesture of respect. “The biopsy has been sent to the pack medical center. Healer Raphael will examine it today.”I nodded and rolled my shoulders back.My entire body was tense. The stress of this dramatic day had taken root almost instantly, and I could feel a migraine beginning to form. I rubbed at my temple.“And wh
