Elder Richardson pov "Elder Richardson!" I stop in my step and turn around at the mention of my name. My assistant, Jason, runs down the hall, carrying a pile of files. The guy is young but incredibly hard-working and has no idea how to take a moment off. I chuckle and shake my head at his antics. Jason has to be the only assistant in the whole building who's always running around, dealing with paperwork and carrying files from one building to the other. I wish the kid would listen to me, but he never does. If Jason carries on like this, he might become the youngest Elder in the history of our species. "Good morning, Jason." I greet him once he steps close enough. "Have you had coffee yet? I was about to head to my office and get Gerald to make me one; you're welcome to join me." Jason's face breaks out in a brilliant smile at the offer. Gerald is the Council's assistant, a real dick if you ask me, who spends his days tormenting the younger and lower-position personnel. Unfortun
Elder Richardson pov "That's impossible! The letter... It's outrageous! Where is it, Gerald?" I scream at the top of my lungs, making the moron flinch.He slides a hand in his back pocket and hands the letter to Jason, staring at me as if I'm about to announce his death sentence. Which, quite frankly, I'm not that far from. Gerald's eyes return to me; he bows and asks if he could leave the office, which is a wish I gladly grant him. In the meantime, Jason already holds the letter and reads it, frowning. "What is it, Jason?" I ask, a little hesitant. If Alpha Luka really requested the Council's probation, we can't refuse his wish. However, if we don't, we'll have to deal with a furious King, a very pregnant and overprotective Queen, and her three lovers. All four men stood at the top of the pedestal at the last Alpha games. They're stronger and more influential than any other Alpha, but put together, they're an unstoppable force. Even the Council wouldn't dare to go against their
Gerald pov"And that concludes the hearing, for now. Gentlemen, we will meet in this hall in an hour to decide the most appropriate punishment for the Council assistant Gerald Amorello," the Council speaker calls out as two armed guards grab my arms and pull me out of the hall. They promised I could have one phone call, so they better let me use the damn phone, or I will pull the whole Council down the drain if I must fall.Damn that old fool Richardson and his stupid assistant. I knew that dealing with those two would be more complicated than dealing with the rest of the Elders, but I didn't think he would know that stupid Alpha's handwriting. As the guards pull me toward the main library of the building, which is where they're about to lock me in for the next hour, I come up with a new plan of action. I can't escape that library- no windows or ventilation, and not even a damn chimney. However, the massive room will provide me enough privacy to make the phone call. "I want a burn
BEFORE YOU READ:WARNING, THE CHAPTER MIGHT APPEAR TRIGGERING TO SOME READERS. The chapter contains a description of slight insanity and the mention of a forced intimate act between two MEN. Lenox pov"God fucking damn it, is it so hard to understand that I have a spoon?" I wave the thing in his face as the coward steps away from me. "A fucking silver spoon! And I'm sure as fuck ain't afraid to use it!" I hiss at him. The idiot raises his hands as if I'm aiming a gun at him, and the damn action would stop me. Hell to the no, I'll perform a prostate examination with this goddamn spoon, even if it's the last thing I get to do before I die!"I-I can be more of an asset for you if I'm alive. T-trust me; I have the information you seek," Sarah's father stutters. First of all, I have no idea what he's talking about. What kind of information am I seeking now? Here I was, thinking I came here to play around and have some fun, but this guy is trying to sell me something. This game turned ou
Lazarus pov My life is a mess. No, let me rephrase that. Our life is a mess. Everything my brothers and I knew turned into endless chaos, and there isn't anything we could do about it. Actually, there are possibilities, but for those, we need to forget our differences and stop acting like one massive asshole. Lately, I caught myself thinking about how many changes came into our life when Sarah appeared out of thin air. On many occasions, I assumed everything went downhill because of her arrival, but these days, I understand how wrong those assumptions were. Yes, nearly everything changed, but it changed for the best because, now, we can see how many mistakes we made. Especially the mistakes we made as brothers. Sarah is opening our eyes and forcing us to be better. For once, all three of us learn how to confront the issues instead of overlooking them or swiping them under the rug. These days, I understand what my father meant when he said the best thing that happened in his li
Lazarus povI pace my office while the doctors do the last check-ups on Sarah. They already mentioned she had iron deficiency, but other than that, they claim she's healthy, just a little exhausted and still in heat. Apparently, since her cat surfaced, which was a surprise to me, the pain isn't half as bad as it was without the animalistic side present to help Sarah through it. However, as happy as I am for the changes and her health, we just got another problem added to the pile. While Sarah is calm as usual, her cat isn't. The doctors mentioned her cat wouldn't allow men near Sarah, so we have to tip-toe around the pissed-off animal. Glancing at my phone, I groan. It'll take at least ten hours for our parents to arrive since mom has to travel safely and dad decided to hide her God knows where until the due date. On top of that, it's been around an hour since I called for help, and the man himself hasn't arrived yet.All I got was a brief promise he'd arrive and a text message soo
Sarah pov "Talia, back down!" I hiss out loud, clutching the bed frame. She's been out of control since I woke up, and at this point, I fear she might force a shift which would end up pretty messy with my attempts to hold her down. I know she's on the surface because when the last nurse that came into the room looked at me, the poor thing paled, screamed, and ran. We might be in a pack of wolves, but even those people fear what they don't know, and Talia is one of the aspects they don't understand about me. *No! I won't let them touch you!* Talia screams, and I almost let go of the bed frame when I hear her voice echo off the walls. Did she just speak to me using my damn mouth? "They won't touch or harm me, Talia! Those people are here to help us, so stop acting like a psychopath! We need their help! And for the love of God, stop using my voice to talk; it's giving me creeps," I have to force the words through gritted teeth since my lovely cat is slowly but surely gaining comp
Lazarus povI stand next to my brother, watch Sarah, or is it Talia, run away and gape at her retrieving frame. What the fuck just happened?How did we go from having the weirdest conversation in the hospital room to suddenly playing a game of chase with a grand prize being a damn threesome?I'm absolutely speechless while Lenox bounces on his heels, checking his watch every few seconds, obviously overly excited about the opportunity Sarah's cat is handing us. I turn around to face him. "I assume it's unnecessary to ask if you think this is a good idea?" I raise an eyebrow and cross my arms in front of my chest. With Lenox, I never know how he decides to react or take my words, so it's better to keep my guard up and, just in case, protect my chest. Sounds silly, I know, but once, we had a brotherly feud, and the tiny lunatic stabbed me. He plunged the blade millimetres away from my heart with a smile on his lips. I still remember how our parents took me to the hospital and forced h
