Alec POV"How can it have been ten days, and we are still no closer to finding my brother and wife!" I roared, slamming my fist into a nearby wall, the plasterboard shattering under the force, causing rubble to slide down the wall and coat my hands. "Ex-wife!" James corrected me. The fucker was truly starting to get on my nerves, but I ignored him, reminding myself that he was my oldest friend and instead looked at the destruction I had caused with a sigh. It wasn't the first hole I had made in the walls of my office over the last few days, and I doubt it would be the last. Frustration ate at me with each passing day, knowing that Aurora and Hugo were slipping further and further from me. Luke had given us a name: Maxwell! It didn't take much to get information from the pair once Jason heard his father's name slip from our prisoner's mouth. I had thought James was brutal when it came to torture, but it seemed I had underestimated Jason entirely. We now knew Maxwell headed the traf
Alec POVWe continued the next few hours in silence until we reached large gates that made ours look like child's play. I watched Jason's eyes gloss over as he communicated with his pack, and the doors opened. "Very fancy!" James scoffed as we followed the winding trail up to a large gothic-inspired castle that wrapped around acres of land. He wasn't wrong, this place was fancy! Which made no sense; why would Maxwell go after my pack when he had something so grand at home? Parking outside the entrance, I took a deep breath and hoped we would leave here with the answers we all needed. "Mother!" Jason beamed as a middle-aged woman stepped from the doors, her arms wide as they enveloped him. Her tanned skin and dark hair flowed freely in the light wind as her gigantic son swallowed her tiny frame in a bear hug. A smile split my face, seeing him scoop her up and spin her around, hugging her tightly, not caring that we all stood around watching. "Mother, meet Alpha Azure.." I offer a cu
Aurora POVStretching out across the softest of beds, my body ached almost as severely as my head throbbed. Opening my eyes slowly, I allowed them to adjust to the bright lights of the sterile room. I was alone, and judging by the goose pimples that had broken out along my stomach, I was naked. "Ava?" I called out to my wolf, feeling alone inside my own head."Ava?" I asked again as I lay back on the plush mattress. I sighed as I realised whatever was making me groggy, was also affecting my wolf.Closing my eyes as I rubbed at my temples and tried to recall where I was or how I had gotten here, but I came up blank, except for the image of my reflection and chains. Something that seemed oddly familiar yet foreign to me. "A baby changes everything!" I heard a female voice snap from somewhere close by. Moving my legs slowly, not wanting to make any noise, I pushed off the bed. Regretting it the second my legs touched the floor, they felt hollow and utterly useless. Gripping the nearby

Maxwell smirked, his lips thin and tight as he stared at me with an evilness that made me shiver unintentionally. Looking over at Violet, my stomach dropped, seeing the sick smile plastered on her lips. "You're enjoying this!" I growled, and her lips pulled into an even wider smile. "Seeing the bitch that caused absolute chaos get her comeuppance? Absolutely!" She snarled nastily. Looking back at Maxwell, I shook my head of the tears I felt falling from my eyes, hoping to play on his emotions. "I want a blowjob and a fuck!" He declared unashamedly. There it was- His terms! I knew he would have wanted something like this, but hearing him say it made everything feel much more serious and real! As if sitting on a bed surrounded by my own vomit and self-hatred as one of the men I loved hung from chains on the TV with his back ri
[Please note: Trigger Warning - The following chapter contains Blackmail/CNC/Reluctance that some may find hard to read.] Aurora POV "It's just sex!" I soothed myself repeatedly, feeling his hands move up my calves and pull her knees up. I kept my eyes fixed on the ceiling and attempted to will myself out of my body. I was brought back to cold reality when I felt hot breath on my inner thigh followed by his hot tongue, licking. I hadn't realised that I had yelped until he told me to calm down. "C..c..can we just get this o..over with. Please," I stammered, my throat dry. Maxwell lifted his head up and looked at me over my body, his eyes alive with a fire I didn't feel comfortable with. "You don't want me to enter you dry, do you?" With that, he reached down between my parted thighs and cupped my mound. "Or are you already wet?" My mouth desperate for saliva, I simply shook my head in answer. "Then I need to make you a little wet, so I don't hurt either of us. I could spit on the e

"Your shift is almost over Aurora; any plans for tonight?" Ollie, my boss, asks as he slips into the seat beside me, lifting my eyes from my phone as I process yet another text from an unknown number; this freak was starting to get on my last nerve. For months I have received cryptic messages. Messages meant to scare and intimidate me. Sighing, I look down at my phone as another message dances across my screen; rolling my eyes, I wish they had
Alec POV "So we have a deal?" Violet West asked, holding her long slender hand out for me to shake. "You will return my man and excuse his crimes against your pack in exchange for 2.5 Million. Correct?" She asked, her purple hues narrowed on me in what I am sure was meant to be an intimidating glare. But I understood her better than she would like; I knew she was scared of me; everyone was! I could smell the fear seeping through her pores; just like I knew, those eyes she had glued on me were not purple but, in fact, blue - Contacts! It was all part of her tough bitch persona! Well, she can play dress up as the queen of the underworld if she likes! It makes no difference to me! A deal was a deal - her lover for 2.5 million! Standing, I nodded, buttoning up my black Armani suit and brushing off imaginary filth from the expensive fabric. Looking at her outstretched hand in contempt, having no intention of touching it. Violet picked up on my disgust and dropped her hand to her side
Aurora POV "I am not crazy!" I fumed, sitting in the seat beside Meg and taking the drink that Ollie offered; with a roll of my eyes at the pink umbrella that floated around the rim of the glass, I pulled it out, wrapping my lips around the stick, not wanting to waste any of the alcohol, it took a lot to get me drunk. Hence why, I refused to lose even a drop. Flinging the umbrella at Meg, seeing her stare at me with a crooked smile, I sighed, leaning my elbows on the table to look at the males she had arranged to meet tonight while trying to ignore the niggly feeling in my gut that someone was watching me. Fuck it! Let the bastard watch! A tall, ripped guy sat to my left, smirking at me as he unashamedly looked down at my cleavage. His dark hair and even darker eyes screamed bad boy! Beside him, a stocky blonde male sat, eyeing Ollie hungrily. If his lingering stare wasn't enough to give away the fact he was playing for the other team, the purple eyeshadow and thick eyeliner sure di
