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
Chicago Alpha Chapter 32: Betrayal of a Friend
Alyssa's P.O.V.~1 Hour Before~Peering across the hedge line, I watched guards walking along the walls, keeping an eye for intruders. I knew that with my distance, they wouldn't be able to sense me from where I was at now, but as soon as I got closer, they would know I was there.The massive building was a beautiful sight to see, but knowing that my best friend was being held captive inside broke me. I knew the others could see the pain in my eyes every time Clarissa's name was mentioned, but she was like my sister.How did everyone expect me to be okay with everything? Shaking my head, I whistled over at Antonio, grabbing his attention. His massive towering form crouched towards me and peered towards the building in front of us."The walls are heavily guarded, and I can tell that they have at least twenty men patrolling the grounds outside of the walls. It is going to be difficult to go unnoticed, but do you think you can handle it?"Antonio smirked at my remark before a look of dete
Chicago Alpha Chapter 33: Cabin in the Woods
Clarissa's P.O.V.The dim light of morning shined through the open window, and as I opened my eyes, I watched the dust particles dancing within the ray of light that touched the wall. I couldn't help but lay within the safety of the blankets and think about everything that had transpired over the last few months.Pain radiated through my body as my body tried to rid itself of the toxins that had been pumped into me while I was captive. Brantley had been so sweet to take care of me until I could be united back with Antonio.Groaning, I managed to slowly sit up and sling my legs over the edge of the bed. My head spun as I steadied myself, slowly standing to my feet.Why couldn't I be normal?The question constantly plagued my thoughts, and I couldn't stop it. I wasn't like the rest of them. I was a quiet, reserved girl with a creative mind. I wasn't made for a world of blood and chaos, and I didn't know if I had it in me to be a leader.All the confidence I once held was shattered when m
Chicago Alpha Chapter 34: Useless
Clarissa's P.O.V.Days began to turn into a week, and I had yet to hear anything from my mate. Antonio still had not come for me, and the worry within me was growing by the day.Brantley kept reassuring me that Antonio was okay, but that he was taking care of other issues, making things safe for me to come home. He said that Antonio found others that were part of the council's scheme to hurt me and that he wanted to rid them from our lives before allowing me back into our home.I could understand that, but what I didn't understand was why Antonio didn't tell me those things himself. It was all very frustrating, and part of me was hurt by Antonio's actions.For some reason, I had also still not completely healed. I moved around at an average pace, but physically I was drained and unable to reach out to Antonio in our bond. Not being able to sleep for the last two nights, I had awoken early this morning, intending to try to learn more about what I could do.Brantley had suggested we cou
Chicago Alpha Chapter 35: Letter from an Alpha
Clarissa's P.O.V.Brantley kicked my ass with all the workouts he was putting me through. I couldn't begin to understand why squats were important in training, but if he had me do one more, I was pretty sure my legs would fall off.I stood in the shower for what seemed forever, allowing the hot water to run over my sore muscles. I couldn't remember the last time a shower had felt so amazing, and then again, I couldn't remember the last time I worked out. Shortly after our training session, Brantley ran to town to grab a few supplies, and I welcomed his leave to have time for myself to relax. The shower was the only way I knew to find solace and comfort, and man, this shower did the trick."Clarissa!" I heard my name being called from the other room, and I groaned in disapproval.Turning off the shower, I wrapped a towel around me. "What?" I hollered, unsure of why he would interrupt me during my meditation, a.k.a shower time. "When you finish, come out here. I have something for you.
Chicago Alpha Chapter 36: Pain of the Lost
Antonio's P.O.V.How does one's heart get over the loss of a loved one? How does one cope when the one their soul desires have been taken from them? I know that I am an Alpha, but how was I supposed to be an Alpha when the pain I felt made me weak?I couldn't sleep. I couldn't eat.Everywhere I turned, I saw her face, and when we returned from destroying the council, I wasn't the same man. How could I be the same man or Alpha? The one person I sought to bring home was gone, and the worst part of it was that my best friend was the one who took her.I didn't understand why Brantley would want her, and as soon as Alyssa found out, she left with Cassio to find where they went. They had been gone for a week and radio silent for two days. I was beginning to worry that the safety I had created for my people was diminishing by the day. How is my pack supposed to follow and trust in me when I questioned who I was?"Antonio." Joseph had been persistent in checking on me, and in my absence, was t
