Chicago Alpha Chapter 24: Stories for the Betrayed
Clarissa's p.o.vThe chime of the diner door was like refreshing music to my ears. It reminded me of my favorite coffee shop I used to go to before work every morning. The diner was outdated, with white-tiled floors, black booths, and light green trim. The glass cabinets by the register holding pies and desserts of all kinds.My curiosity kept asking why Torrez would pick such a place to meet.Casting my eyes towards Torrez, and I felt my brows narrow as he smiled at me. "Clarissa." The sound of my father's voice felt wrong and unwelcoming. Despite my nerves, I walked towards him and slid into the seat across. He was dressed to impress, and I noticed he seemed to take in every detail of me, as if reliving a memory."Cut the bullshit. What do you want to tell me?" My irritation was clear, and I was counting the seconds until I could leave. I just had to remember that it was vital for me to get any information from him, even if that meant being firm-handed to get it. "Patience, my dear,
Chicago Alpha Chapter 25: Fury for the Missing
Antonio's P.O.V."Antonio, she's gone."Those words spoken were like a stab to my heart. How was she gone? It made no sense. "There was no trace of her at the diner. Just your car parked in the parking lot, and a bunch of confused workers saying they never saw her."Alyssa's words moved around my mind like a fog, but I couldn't understand what she was saying. I felt an uneasy feeling in my chest as confliction of worry and anger soared through me. A roar unlike any I have ever heard resonated through my estate, and it took a moment for me to realize it was coming from me. "Where is she?!!!"I couldn't control Zeus, and as his fury took over, he unleashed hell upon the property. The pack wolves hurried to take shelter as Zeus began to destroy furniture and other property as if nothing could stop him. My eyes zeroed in on Alyssa, who held a gun to my face."You were supposed to protect her!" I roared."Antonio, you need to calm down so we can figure out what happened. You can not keep t
Chicago Alpha Chapter 26: Captive
Clarissa's P.O.V.Have you ever awoken from a deep sleep and found yourself confused by your surroundings? The light-emitting from the window above me gave way to the difference between day and night. However, I was still unsure of where I was or how long I had been gone.Foolishly, I had let myself be captured by Torrez and his men. Looking at my wrists, I took note of the silver shackles clasped around them. I could vaguely recall being brought in and placed onto a cold surface while men in white coats surrounded me. A moment was all I got as I reached out to Antonio. The memory of his voice consuming me made my chest tighten in pain. This was precisely what I had promised him wouldn't happen, and I couldn't begin to imagine what he was going through right now. The room I was being held in was dark and reeked of death. I didn't remember being moved here, but I figured it had something to do with the needles that they had stuck in me.Whatever they had done left bruises scattered up
Chicago Alpha Chapter 27: The Informant
Alyssa's P.O.V"The sedative is working; Antonio is finally sleeping. I can't keep giving it to him, though. We have to find another alternative to calm his wolf." Doctor Lewis looked at Joseph and me with concern.Antonio had caused more havoc around the lands than we had imagined. His wolf Zeus wanted the blood of those who had taken his mate, and he wasn't the only one wanting that revenge. Turning, I quickly collected my backpack and picked up my sword, placing it into the sheath at my back. Joseph and I discussed the alternative, and that was with me finding where Alyssa was taken so Antonio could release his anger.Clarissa wasn't just a job that I had taken so many years ago. The girl had become my best friend, my sister. I would protect her with my life, and if that meant taking more lives in the process, then so be it.Joseph gave me a nod as I straddled the black bike beneath me and started the engine. "Alyssa, contact me if anything happens. Even if you are taken, use the c
Chicago Alpha Chapter 28: Friends with Enemies
Alyssa's P.O.V.Dawn slowly approached as I pulled back into the driveway, and looking up at the lights on in the pack house; I could see Antonio's darkened silhouette peering out into the darkness.Cassio pulled up next to me, and before I could tell him to remain where he stood, Antonio was out the door and Cassio by the throat. His growl penetrated the sky, and I knew that if I didn't act quickly, Antonio would kill him."Toni, stop.""Why should I? He reeks of the intruder we had." The dark swirling abyss that was Antonio's eyes sought nothing but vengeance. Joseph quickly emerged from the house, followed by Leah and Thomas."That's because he was, but he is also important. He is here to help us, so put him down." Reluctantly, Antonio tossed Cassio to the ground, who began coughing, holding his throat. "Such a warm welcome," Cassio said snarkily as his eyes fixated on mine."That's what happens when you mess with an Alpha's mate, Cassio." I couldn't help but roll my eyes as I walk
Chicago Alpha Chapter 29: Victor's Truth
Clarissa's P.O.V. Time seemed to pass by slowly as I laid in the cell pondering the many ways I would kill them all. Especially my traitorous father. The council members came in now and again to admire the prize captured, and on more than one occasion, I heard them praising my father for catching the monster.If anyone was a monster, it was them. The unlocking of my cage sounded in the darkness, and a tiny bit of light gave way to the giant figure of a man I had come to name Tanto. I wasn't sure what his real name was because all he ever did was grunt his answers, but he was my jail keeper.Tantos's rough hands gripped my wrists as he unlocked the silver cuffs attached to the floor and place them on two different ones. He pulled on the new chain and dragged me from my cage towards the main door of the dungeon.Alyssa had once told me that they no longer used dungeons, and that was a lie; wait till I tell her that ours is getting renovated. Victor's face was the last I wanted to see,
Chicago Alpha Chapter 30: Surprising Savior
Clarissa's P.O.V.The loud sirens and red flashing lights swirled around me. I wasn't sure what was going on or where I was even at anymore. Trying to focus my attention, I picked out the smallest of noises. It was the faint dripping of a sink somewhere in the room, and its simple sound helped me focus my mind. "Clarissa, wake up!" Staring up into a pair of green, familiar eyes, I couldn't begin to understand what was going on. So many questions were swirling in my head, and it was at that moment that I realized the man before I was Brantley. If Brantley was here, that must mean that Antonio was as well."Brantley?" My throat was raw from screaming caused my voice to come out in harsh whispers. He gently shushed me as he freed my hands from the shackles that held me in place. I was unsure how long I had been lying here, but by the way my head was spinning; I knew it must have been a while. "What's happening?"Brantley smiled as he lifted me, cradling me to his chest, making his way wi
Chicago Alpha Chapter 31: Joining Forces
Antonio's P.O.V~24 hours before~Calling upon my allies was the easy part of our plan, but once they arrived on my pack lands, I had the hard part of trying to convince them to join the fight. A few of my close allies, like Alpha Brantley of New York, Alpha Williams of St. Louis, and Alpha Phillip of Nashville, were the first to come to my aid without questions.They had my back on many occasions, as I had theirs. When they learned that the situation involved my mate being taken, they were angry. It didn't matter that my mate was not normal. The laws of the Moon Goddess prohibit werewolves from getting in between mates. Though, what was hard was convincing the others; there was a mix of emotions because no one wanted to cross the inner circle or council as they liked to call themselves.I never understood why some of the Alpha's were so scared of these older men. They were betas, for heaven's sake, and as an Alpha, we outpowered them. Perhaps tradition just made it hard for people to
