Alsie POV-“No, seriously, Als. What the hell is a half-mate? And who is a half-mate? Are half-mates connected to us? I’ve got so many questions.”“Beta William is our half-mate. I don’t know if there even is such a thing, but that’s what Andrew called him and the term kinda stuck.”“Si, that leads to more questions, less answers.”“I know, Benji.” Osiris laughed as he followed me to the house.“When William was being questioned about his loyalty and the things he did in the past, in order to get all the information, I had to bite him. I didn’t know I could just bite his wrist, so I bit his marking spot. That connected me to him, but not him to me, since he didn’t return the bite. Weren’t you there for some of this?”“Alsie, I was the Gamma then. I was present for a few things, but not everything. When the shit was going down with the Beta and Alpha Kordell I was in and out of the house handling other things. I was in charge of securing Wepwawet a safe passage.”“Oh, that’s right, you
Alsie POV-I am on maximum mental overload. Another day, another mystery. Today the twist is the mystery information is coming from the biggest wolf I’ve ever seen, one I’m supposed to be worried about starting a war.“Andrew, what do you know about werecats? Tell us everything.”"Sure thing, Little Luna. Werecats are like us, except cats. They have a human form, a cat form, they have a hierarchy, but leadership is loose. They live in colonies or prides, depending on where they reside. Their hierarchy is centered on cooperative matriarchal family groups, where related females lead daily activities, hunt, and raise cubs, while a male coalition primarily protects the territory. While dominant males have a presence and priority when feeding, they do not hold overall leadership; males are transient, and their influence is tied to their physical strength and ability to maintain their position within the coalition, not to leading the colony or pride's social structure.”“Interesting, like u
Alsie POV-I was standing face to face with one of the biggest wolves I’ve ever seen. He was the size of a small elephant, grey and black with bright green eyes. I knew, I knew him from somewhere, but I don’t recall ever seeing him before.[It’s Fenrir.][Thank you, Rana.][Dante, Kane, Fenrir is in the kitchen.]“I’m not looking for trouble Rana. I want to clear some things up. I need to talk to the human you, not the wolf you.” Fenrir said, standing in my kitchen.Before I could respond all of my mates, Dante, and Sarah appeared in the kitchen behind me.“You better start talking fast Fenrir, or it’s going to get ugly in this kitchen.” Dante threatened as he stepped in front of me.“Dante, please. I need to talk to the human part of Rana. I’m not here to do any harm.”“Why?” Kane hissed.“The human, Alsie is the one who has questions. She is the one who needs something solved. Not Rana. Like I said, I am not here to do harm.”Rana retreated, slightly.“I’m here. Rana is close, but s
Alsie POV-I found a large corkboard and I brought it back to my office. I hung it between the two whiteboards. I pulled index cards out of my desk drawer, and I started writing thigs pertaining to my open case on the index cards. Once I finished my piles, I tacked them onto the corkboard under the proper categories. This helped me see my cases better. It cut out the time of looking through notes and trying to remember all the players in the scenario.It was a few hours later when Osiris walked into my office.“Hey Gorgeous, are you joining us for lunch?”“It’s lunchtime already?”“Yes, you’ve been in here for hours. Everything ok?”“Oh, I didn’t realize that it had been that long. Yes, I’m ok Si, just working.”“Ok, well we are in the little dining room, the kitchen staff prepared lunch. Grilled cheese and bacon sandwiches with creamy tomato basil soup, green goddess wedge salads, and bacon wrapped lil smokies.”“That sounds yummy.” I said as I tacked up my last index card. “Here I c
Alsie POV- 4 days laterI wish I could say I remember what happened over the last four days. I don’t, I can’t remember most of it. I know I didn’t leave my room; I spent a lot of time in the shower or bathtub, and my mates came in on a rotating basis. Apparently, I’m a lot to handle when in heat. I guess that’s why I got five mates.Today I was feeling like my old self, Detective Alsie Jones. I wanted to get things accomplished today. I woke up at 6:00am, showered, got dressed, went to my downstairs office and called Luna Jazmine.“Luna, it’s good to hear your voice, how are you?”“I’m doing well Luna Alsie. Thank you for asking. What do I owe the pleasure of this phone call?”“I’m reaching out to make sure you were informed of the rabies situation over here.”“I was. Honestly, that explains so much of my former mate’s behavior, and paranoia. When Osiris told me, it was like a weight had been lifted from my heart.”“That is good to hear. Did you tell Alpha Xavier?”“Yes, and he mad
Alsie POV-He was going to reject me. I could feel it. If I didn’t stop Benji, he was going to reject me. I can’t stop crying. I want this heat to be over with.I took off my clothes, and laid on top of my bed, everything was making me hot, and emotional. I was bouncing back and forth between crying and being mad, hot and cold, now I was starting to experience pain. Great, just great.“Baby-Girl what are you doing?”“Sweetness, let us in, please.”“You don’t have to go through this alone, Little Luna.”“Come on Gorgeous, open the door. We can feel the pain you’re in.”“I can’t open the door, everything hurts.” I cried out.“That’s because your body needs us. Please let us in,” begged Osiris.“You don’t understand, I want to let you in, but when I try to get up, everything hurts, and I get dizzy. I can’t let you in.” I sobbed from my bed.“Baby-Girl, I’m breaking this door down!”“I don’t care Benji, just make the pain stop.”The next thing I hear is a loud THWACK! My door flies open a
