Contract Wife Of The Twin Alphas 151-safe house in the woods
ELENA WOLFEMy heart was beating so loudly that I could scarcely hear anything above the wind buzzing like a thunderstorm in my ears.“Stay low! They're onto us! Eyes to the ground Elena!” Markov hissed at me, grey eyes flashing when he turned to me over his shoulder and my thighs flexed around them horse. Hugging the animal as low as I could go and trying to ignore the sharp bite of pain stabbing my belly.The scent of pine and wet earth filled my nose as our stolen horse powered through the trees like lightning and the enraged howl of the Gotham wolves faded into the distance.“Slow down Markov! Please! We're going to crash!” I yelled over the din of the wind roaring around us, my arms tightening around the hard V of the rogue’s midriff, but the horse seemed to move even faster!The asshole ignored me! I couldn't believe I was touching him, my chest mashed flat against his back until my skin tingled where we met.“Goddess please,” I croaked tearfully, my heart pounding as we sped th
Contract Wife Of The Twin Alphas 152- taste for blood
CARLA WINEHOUSEGotham palace was quieter than it had ever been when I stepped out of my chambers, where I had been hiding out away from the Alphas.That was the thing about doing something scandalous, the immediate need to take cover was a wise choice in Gotham if one didn’t want to lose their good head.I had felt the Alphas absence before I’d heard the great palace gates rocketing open and the stampede of horses storming away from the lot.“Hello?” I croaked tentatively, but only the distant sound of conversation reached my ears.My curly red hair felt heavy behind me as I swept toward the voices, sucking through arched entryways and paths until I saw the old Wueen sitting round a small white table with her posse of fans.I was over this shit. Panic wormed it’s way into my gut when I remembered Alfred’s threats. What would Alaric do to me when he realized I had failed the one simple task he had given me? To keep an eye on FUCKING ELENA.“What’s going on?” I whispered, feigning an

ANTHONY GOTHAMMy body felt hot all over as I gripped the horse’s reins firmly, grinding my teeth against the biting winter snow that blew a chill across the dark woods.Two nights. That was how long it had been since the rogue had kidnapped my woman. My Luna…my Elena.It took every fiber of control in my body not to torch the woods, to burn everything to a crisp if it meant seeing Elena…if it meant having her back.“See anything?! There has to be a trail! They couldn't just have disappeared!” Michael’s booming voice thundered across the spaces in the trees and I jerked my head up to spot the string of fire torches some distance away.“I want every stone upturned, I want your eyes peeled so far back you can see the wind fellows! Fast! Move fast!” He roared, his straight back clad in an all-black leather coat that emphasized his muscles and the impressive line of his shoulders.I stiffened at Michael’s harshness despite myself and watched the soldiers scatter like flies into the dark l

Anthony Gotham“Hawk. Status report.” I ground through clenched teeth as we slammed the horses to a stop inside the huge lattice gates of the palace.My boots hit the cobblestone path with a thud and I jogged toward the circle of guards around the grey husk of the servant’s apartment with the guard following closely behind my brother and me.“Happened only minutes ago Your Highness, one of the royal maids was found in a bloody pile in the common kitchens,” I felt my patience thin even more as I stared at him in disbelief. We had come all the way here for a bloody maid? The guard seemed to understand the expression on my face before hurrying farther down the path, forcing us to follow.“Normally one of the elders would handle such delicate matters, Your Highness but I'm afraid this was impossible seeing as it was one of the Luna’s own handmaidens,” The one-eyed wolf grunted, and a bolt of current whipped through my body.“Who?” Michael snarled before I could, slamming to a stop the s
Contract Wife Of The Twin Alphas 155- rogues lair
ELENA WOLFEIt had been days since our escape from Gotham and yet, I hadn't been able to scrub the scent of the twin Alphas from my memory.Cinnamon, Pinewood, wet earth and firewood spices.It was all I could think about as I watched the rogue pace back and forth across our small kitchen. I pretended not to notice the woodogs that were diminishing or the small fridge that had emptied out days ago thanks to my baby cravings.My fingers drummed on the wood dining table where I was seated restlessly, my heart jumping each time the rogue let out a slew of curse words.“D-Do you think there’s a chance we could go back to…to Gotham?” I whispered, and then I instantly slapped my palm against my mouth, wishing I could take the words back when the man’s face darkened with a sharp inhale.The beat of silence that had followed my hoarse croak stretched until it filled the small room with more awkwardness.“You step one foot inside Gotham, Elena, and those bloodthirsty elders would have you strap

Michael’s POV“Can you tell us what happened again? From the top?” I growled, narrowing my eyes at the trembling woman who stood below the dias, swooning on the red carpet that stretched across the throne room as if she would fall.I caught the way Anthony’s hands circled around the throne’s armrest, his knuckles whitened to the bone. I could tell he was trying to keep from lunging at my throat and felt a smile tear at my lips.Had to be tough. I was doing the best I could to pick apart Carla’s story. Something about the shit she spewed didn't sit right with me. And that was from someone who spewed shit for a fucking living.“Is this REALLY necessary Michael? The woman is tired and she's with CHILD, for fucks sake-” My brother’s raspy baritone swept through the sea of elders who murmured, their whispered dissent settling an air of unease over the swooping chandeliers that hung down around the throne room.I could feel his hot hazel eyes boring into the side of my face as if trying to

ELENA GOTHAMThe eerie silence as we marched through the thick trees only seemed to grow the unease bouncing around my spine.“How many more baskets until we’re ready to go back? I don't want to be here until nightfall-” I grumbled, turning to see Klein Markov slashing down more trees with the thick silver machete he held in one hand.The dark clothes he wore matched the bulky two-piece he gave me. Leather and linen. I snatched up a couple more handfuls of the blackberries and wild fruits that filled the knit basket, marching toward the horse and dumping the heavy basket in with the rest of the cargo.“I can't do this anymore Markov! How on earth are we going to survive like this? Like animals?!” I screamed, allowing the frustration to finally bleed through my voice as tears rolled down my cheeks.I swiped at it furiously, not wanting the damned rogue to see me cry before he caught one of my wrists easily.I felt myself inhale. He was so close I could see the deep blue flecks around
Contract Wife Of The Twin Alphas 158- big bad wolf of the dark wood
ELENA GOTHAMIt was the muted din of laughter in the distance that made me gasp awake with goosebumps covering my entire body.I whipped my head around the clearing in the trees so fast that my vision of the tall spindly trees blurred and spun.We were still in the dark woods, I could tell by the suffocating despair that hung in the air like the thick rain clouds in the vast sea of black above us. It was night already. “Good. Keep that vomit in your throat Goldilocks,” Bella snarled drily and I turned to see her large form glaring down at me.I opened and closed my mouth wordlessly, barely trusting myself to speak as pain zinged up and down my body, brooding around my ankles that had been strapped with sticks and bandages.My throat felt like someone had shoved a grater through it, and I let out another groan when I felt my belly cramping.Had I hurt my baby in the fall? I shook myself, refusing to let panic tear through my heart. I needed to get out of here. I needed to think!The
