Escaping with the Alpha Epilogue
Allie POV Six years later… The jade green clouds were high in the sky and the sun shone brightly in Olive’s glade, as my family rained utter chaos on the poor unsuspecting forest. Really. Just pure chaos. But in the most lovely of ways. These picnics started off with just the Tanners, but had eventually expanded to include all four of the Alpha families from the packs bordering the forest, plus our fae friends. Bringing us all together as friends and allies. They quickly escalated into events of epic proportions as each of our young families expanded rapidly. Leo sat with Zac and Zoe’s youngest son in his arms. He was the newest grandchild, and number fifteen in total for the Tanners. Julie held a wriggling blonde toddler who was screaming for snacks. Josh and I named her Bree; he calls her Breezy, but really Stormy would be a more accurate nickname. What could I say? She was a girl who knew what she wanted. Queen Neva and King Roman sat alongside them with their new little pr
Escaping with the Alpha 01. Alina
I closed my book and let out a long, wistful sigh. A group of friends, off on wild, dangerous adventures, learning the true meaning of friendship and finding a bit of romance along the way. “Why do I torture myself like this?” I muttered as I flung the book carelessly onto the side table. It skidded off and landed on the pink fluffy carpet and I immediately felt guilty. I hurriedly picked it up, dusted it off, and placed it back in the bookcase that I’d arranged in alphabetical order. As the Alpha’s daughter, you would think I’d have the entire pack wanting to be my friend. Actually, they probably would if it wasn’t for my father. As the only heir to the pack, my upbringing had been completely different to that of my packmates. Up until I graduated
Escaping with the Alpha 02. Eve of Adulthood
Five minutes. I just needed five minutes to myself. I felt like I hadn’t stopped all day. From the moment I woke up, I’d been pulled here, there and everywhere. I’d spent several hours with Father going over the names of all the attending Alphas and their Lunas, their pack names and brief history. Every error resulted in a disappointed look being cast my way, and more pressure heaped on. I wandered over to the large window seat in my bedroom and sat, hugging my knees to my chest. The sky was dark and lanterns lit up the large circular driveway. I had always loved event nights. My room had the best view in the house to sit and watch the guests arrive. People-watching was definitely helping ease my anxiety, and I began to relax a little. For all his faults as a mate and a parent, my father really was a good Alpha. He’d forged alliances with most of the surround
Escaping with the Alpha 03. After Midnight
My mother’s public facade began to crumble. I knew she had always been disappointed she could never provide my father with a son, but unlike my father, she’d never made me feel worthless for it. The look she was giving me right now, though… I wish I’d never seen that expression. The moment when realisation dawned that not only had she birthed one daughter and no sons, the heir she had produced was human. Father’s demeanour never changed, though. He just turned his head back to the audience as he took in a deep breath to address them. I felt like I was suffocating. If the ground opened up before me, I would jump right in, never to be seen again. Tears of shame and embarrassment welled in my eyes, threatening to spill over at any moment. Ellis put his arm around my shoulders and I shrugged out of his grasp, moving to the edge of the stage.
Escaping with the Alpha 04. Josh
Josh POVI’d never seen someone tumble like that before. Her dress was all tangled up, and she looked like a giant burgundy ball of fluff rolling down the hill. The way she’d been stomping, with her nose in the air, made her fall all the more satisfying. And made it hard to hold in my laughter.There was an audible thud and a whimper of pain, then silence. She must have come to a stop. I moved closer to the edge and looked over, and my heart beat faster in my chest. Shit. It was a lot steeper towards the bottom than I’d thought.It was dark and I could barely make out her figure. She was lying on the ground, her dress still caught all around her, and she wasn’t moving.“Alina? Are you ok?”The fabric rustl
Escaping with the Alpha 05. The Banshee's Wail
Josh POVDarkness surrounded us from every side as we ran further and further into the forest. The shriek of the banshee still echoed off the surrounding trees. I kept having to slow down so Alina could catch up. Fuck, she’s slow.“Take those stupid shoes off,” I barked at her. She was slowing us down and was going to get us killed.She actually obeyed–which was surprising–stopping to take the burgundy high heels off. Looking at them again, they’d make an excellent weapon. I’d have to keep that in mind in case we needed it. She held the shoes in one hand and again we ran blindly.The forest felt more alive than any other I’d been in. And not in a good way. I couldn’t shake the feeling that we were being watched consta
Escaping with the Alpha 06. Wild Berries
Alina POV This guy will be the death of me, I thought to myself as I watched him run off. He sees some random creature from a deadly enchanted forest, and his first instinct is to go chasing after it. Perhaps I should just leave now and make my own way out, I’d likely have more luck than I would sticking with him. I’m starting to wonder how he even got the job as a guard. My father and his team are notoriously strict with vetting their recruits. He made his way back towards me, waving his arms around. His brows were pinched and his strong jaw tensed. “Why didn’t you follow me?” he shouted. “Because I’m not a puppy dog,” I replied, resting one hand on my hip. My other wrist
Escaping with the Alpha 07. Befriending a Pixie
Alina POVI listened carefully, but all I could hear was the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves. General forest sounds. I was just about to walk again when I heard it. A very faint giggle carried on the wind like the tinkle of wind chimes. Josh beckoned me with his hand to follow him and I fell in line behind him.A few metres away, a tiny pixie in a pale blue iridescent dress fluttered her wings above a fallen log. I could barely contain my excitement as we slowly and quietly approached. The snap of a twig under my foot startled her, and she spun to face us.“It’s ok. We’re not here to harm,” said Josh, raising his hands to signal we were not a threat.She was wary at first, but as she flew closer to us her beautiful face lit up w
