Alec POV
"Are you sure this is where she lives?" Hugo's revolted voice cut through the stale air of Aurora's room. "This place is a dump!" He huffed, walking around her room while looking at it with the same disgust he would a rednecks trailer park.
I shifted my attention from Hugo to two of my pack members installing small hidden cameras around Aurora's room. I noted the look they were giving each other as they shifted some of her belongings from the top of her dresser to provide them better footing. They, too, had the same disgusted look as my brother.
"Problem?" I asked, trying to keep the irritation from my voice as they turned to look at me; Ian, the older of the pair, had worked for my father before me and knew better than to question my commands, but his partner was reasonably new. I could see the question bubbling on his tongue. He was desperate to understand why we were here!
"Hugo is right. This place is a dump. One of these cameras is worth more than everything in this place. I just don’t understand why we are installing them." He expressed finally. The exasperated look on Ian's face told me he knew what was coming even if his colleague did not.
"Is that so?" I asked, turning to look at him fully, fighting to keep the annoyance from my tone and the harshness from my eyes.
"Yeah! I mean, you have us installing four cameras in here, two in the hallways, half a dozen in the kitchen and over ten in the bar."
"And two in the bathroom!" Hugo added with a smirk, knowing he was fueling the fire!
"Exactly", the young wolf expressed with an exaggerated wave towards Hugo, who he wrongly thought agreed with him!
"Why are we wasting our money on this shit!" He snorted, disappearing into the small bathroom.
"Mmm 'Our' money," I repeated his words, exaggerating the word while raising a brow at Hugo, who was grinning at me knowingly. This kid had some brass balls; I would give him that. My grin instantly dropped when he emerged from the bathroom, his dark eyes locked on a bright pink thong hanging from his finger, his tongue grazing his teeth as he licked his lips.
"She is hot? She has to be to pull this dental floss off?" He grinned, bringing the pink lace to his nose, inhaling her scent. I almost felt sorry for him, hearing the growl escape from my chest; the way he looked at Ian, all fear and regret, would have been comical if it wasn't for the fact this little cunt just crossed a line.
Nodding to Hugo, I watched as he and Ian pounced on the kid, each gripping an arm and pulling them to the point his bones were screaming in their sockets.
"Alpha!" He screamed, panicked, but it was too late! He had to be made an example of! Looking behind him, I noted the tiled floor and nodded to the two males restraining the pretentious wolf.
"On his back, on the bathroom floor!" I demanded as I turned and slipped my Armani suit jacket off; it cost more than this kid would earn in a year; I wasn't dirtying it for the likes of him.
"I could have forgiven your insolence- you're young!” I reasoned “I could have overlooked your arrogance at thinking you have any control over what I do with MY pack's money, not OUR packs! MINE!” I explained, rolling my sleeves up on my crisp white dress shirt.
"But you see.." I stated as I turned and walked towards him, picking up the pink lace he had dropped, I shoved it into my pocket, not giving a shit who saw. Pausing in the doorway, I watched as the wolf tried his best to fight against Hugo and Ian. But it would be to no avail; Hugo was my beta for a reason; like me, he had Alpha blood. He was stronger than most, but more importantly, he was one of the most brutal fighters I had ever known.
But this wasn't about Hugo nor his thirst for blood; it was about teaching this kid and any other imbecile who sought to touch what was mine a lesson! Grabbing the hammer from the side table, I let it drop to my side; the kid's eyes quickly locked on it as he thrashed on the tiled floor, begging for his life.
"Please, Alpha! don't! I am loyal to you! Don't, turn on your pack for a piece of ass." He begged.
"Strike three!" Hugo announced, making Ian smirk.
"Four, actually." He corrected Hugo with a nod that had Hugo smiling slyly.
"I am going to make you swallow those words!" I announced calmly.
"Then I will see to it that you can never speak again!" I grinned slowly, bringing the hammer down on his jaw with all my strength. Hugo's eyes darted to me furiously as blood splattered his suit. Yanking on Aurora's shower curtain, he wrapped it around himself to protect his suit.
"What?" He laughed with a grin! "I wanna roll in her bed before we leave! Make her sleep in my scent! She ain't gonna do that if it's covered in this fuck witts brain matter, is she?" He scoffed
Narrowing my eyes on Hugo, I fought not to bring the hammer down on his thick skull as he mentioned Aurora's bed. Instead, I reminded myself that he was once her mate and had just as much right as me to be here! Even if his words infuriated me! Hugo nodded for me to continue, clearly confused at my expression and whatever vibe I was giving off.
Focusing that anger on the snivelling wolf at my feet, I brought the hammer down on his mouth, repeatedly smashing it into his teeth and jaw until not a single tooth remained in his mouth. Blood and bone dripped from his jaw that hung loosely to the side of his head. He had passed out during the onslaught, but as promised, I scooped up the teeth from around his mangled head and shoved them down his throat.
"You're not gonna kill him?" Hugo asked disappointedly as I stood, motioning for Ian to remove the kid's limp body.
"Every heard a man speak without any teeth! Hardly going to respect him and his drooling, yap, are you!" I grinned, winking at my brother as I returned to the sink to clean myself up. Watching my brother as he stood, his dark eyes locked on Ian; I knew what was coming before it even happened. Pulling his head back, headbutting Ian's forehead knocking him to the ground; lifting his boot, he brought it down repeatedly on the male's ribs.
"DON'T EVER CORRECT ME AGAIN, YOU FUCKING SAP!" He bellowed, making me sigh; I knew he wouldn't have let that go. Walking past the two males on the floor, I opened Aurora's bedroom door and called some of the other workers into the room to clear up the mess in the bathroom; no one said a word or looked shocked; they all knew better than to question Hugo and me! Just like they knew better than to come in here when we were educating the pair of useless wolves!
With the males out of the room, I nodded for someone to come in and clean up the mess in the bathroom, not wanting Auror to return to this.
"Alpha, Aurora is nearly home! She is 15 minutes out!" James announced through our pack link.
"Five minutes, Everyone! Then I want you all out of here! Leave no sign we were here and ensure all cameras are working."
"Yes, Alpha!"
"Let the games begin, kitty!" I grinned, nodding to Hugo. "Pack up your shit!"
"You are gonna have to leave her an I.O.U. for the shower, curtain brother!" Hugo laughed, flinging himself back on her bed; I watched him in the mirror as I put my suit jacket back on; he was hugging her pillow to his chest, inhaling deeply. Realising then that he would be the biggest hurdle Aurora and I would have to face!
Pulling a little box from my pocket, I popped it on the bedside table, leaving it for her as a gift!
"No point cleaning the bathroom if you're leaving that shit here!" Hugo snapped, his mood dark as he jumped from the bed and headed out of the room, ensuring everyone was ready to leave. Neither of us prepared for her to catch us in here...yet!
He may claim to hate her, but I can see it in him now as he slipped one of her tops into his jacket pocket; he loves her! Just as much as I did or do! And neither of us knew how to share! One of us was going to come out of this hurt!
And something told me it was going to be Aurora!
Aurora POV "What the fuck?" I groaned, bringing my hand up to my pounding head, blood coating my fingers as I ran them over my scalp, wincing at a nearly healed cut that was making my hair sticky and forcing it to matt between my fingers. I had been jumped; I remember that. The last image I had before I gave into the darkness was the filthy face of the vampire from the bar! His face blurred in front of my vision before my eyes closed. The snarl on his lips and hatred in his eyes as he charged me had sealed this night's fate to sit at the top ten worst nights of all time! Pulling myself up, I looked around the now-empty forest in confusion; everyone knew vampires never left their prey! So why had he jumped me and not hurt me, or was I missing something? "Let's not look a gift horse in the mouth Aurora!" Ava barked at me, lending me strength as I forced myself onto my feet, my legs wobbling under the strain of my achy body. Gasping, I looked around me; the ground was painted in vibra
Alec POV "Sir, I... I..." Marcus stuttered nervously, causing me to roll my eyes. Shooting Hugo a look that said 'humans,' I waited for him to spit out the rest of his sentence. "I... I em... Em" My patience snapping; I gripped the phone to my ear tighter, trying desperately to keep my temper under control. My eyes scanned Hugo, who had leant in closer to hear whatever Marcus had to say, evidently getting as nervous as me by his call. We had known Ava would have picked up on the scent of wolves hanging around the bar, even if we had called in a favour from a boarding pack and asked them to watch over her. So, we decided to hire a human security crew after hearing about the attack on Aurora in the woods. Although my pack had squashed the threat and made a very clear example of the filthy vampire, Hugo and I refused to risk any further harm coming to Aurora, the pair of us agreeing that the only people to make our lives hell would be us! The only downfall to hiring a human securi
Alec POV Gripping my stiff member with a throaty moan, my fingers unable to close around the girth, the head sticking up well above my fist, plenty of shaft still exposed and throbbing beyond my firm hold. "See the effect you still have on me, kitty!" I moaned mindlessly, beginning to pump my hand, providing relief to the aching throb threatening to tear my cock apart as I watched Aurora lift off the wall and scream before storming to the bathroom. "Fuck!" I snarled, not wanting to miss a second of her; I let go of my cock for a moment and flicked the camera to those we had set up in the bathroom and watched as she stripped off her little crop top that barely covered her beautiful tits, a groan escaped my lips as her tits bounced free. Her tight pink nipples were already hard. She had always got off on fear and anger; I had lost count of how many times our fights had turned into mind-blowing sex. Sitting back in my chair, my eyes trailed over the screen, watching as she discarded
Aurora POV Feeling the late morning sun lick at my bareback, I groaned as I stretched my aching bones out. Searching along the hardwood floor for the pillow I knew I had gone to sleep with; I sighed as images of the night before danced across my memory. I had trashed my room in a fit of rage, too stubborn to tidy up and put my bed back. I had fallen asleep on the floor with nothing but my blanket and pillow, which I had seemingly lunged across the room during the night, taking my bad mood into my slumberland. "That explains the stiff back!" I mumbled, flipping over onto it with a moan. "You know you will have to clean this shit up, right?" Ava sassed with amusement. "Ugh!" I screamed, kicking my legs and banging my fists at my side like a child who had just been told it was bedtime. "What are you six? Get your ass up and sort this shit out before Ollie gets back! You know he will freak if he sees this mess!" She groaned, but I could hear the concern in her voice. "Did you hear hi
Alec POV "How long will this take, officer?" I asked dryly, trying to keep the irritation from my voice as I checked my watch for the third time since I had entered this filthy room that they used for interrogating humans. I could see the male on the other side of the one-way mirror in his cheap suit, his pot belly bursting the seams of the nasty fabric, as he stuffed another pastry in his mouth. "Greedy bastard!" Wrath scoffed, watching with me as he shovelled it in his mouth like it was to be his last meal. He was in his early 50s, sporting a receding hairline and dead eyes that I could only imagine were from seeing far too much evil in this world. "Funny how we have been dragged into this room, meant to instil fear and panic, yet here we are intimidating this lazy fuck so much he stinks of piss and B.O!" I concluded, looking into the mirror and past my reflection; on the other side of the one-way mirror, he stood licking his fingers of the sugar as he observed me; like the male
Hugo POV "We should be in there with him, not out here watching the door like a fucking mall security guard!" I snarled at my wolf, Fury feeling him stir sleepily. I couldn't suppress the eye roll. "Sorry, am I disturbing you!" I snarled, irritated at my wolf's laziness. "I am sorry, not all of us can survive on caffeine and sex!" He snapped, stretching out in the back of my mind! "Some of us need actual sleep to recharge our damn batteries!" He added grumpily. "Pussy!" I scoffed, shifting my attention to watch the small group walk towards the police station; given their expensive suits and bound leather briefcases, I suspected they were lawyers here to try and get some toff off the hook for a crime they most likely committed. At the back of the herd, a slim brunette with dark skin and even darker eyes smiled at me mindlessly as her dark honeyed gaze found me, licking her lips subconsciously spotting my expensive Prada shirt and Rolex. "Ha! She is only interested in your money
Alec POV: Watching Violet walk down the hall, sashaying her hips deliberately, I pondered Wrath's question; I imagine Violet was beautiful before she was turned into a blood-sucking vampire! Her pale skin and large eyes complimented by her ebony hair, enough to turn any male's head. "Dark hair, pale skin and big eyes.. sounds like your type!" Wrath scoffed. "You forget the part about her being a blood-sucking, entitled piece of shit who thinks she can tell me what to do!" "I bet the sex is good, though!" Wrath grunted, watching Violet disappear into a room down the hall; I chuckled and agreed with him inwardly. Turning and walking through the station, I took in the group of lawyers huddled around by the door getting an ear full from an older guy who, judging by the stench of fear coming off the group, was their boss. Signing out, I noted their expensive suits; although nowhere near as expensive as mine, still it would have cost a couple of grand. Which meant they clearly repr
Aurora POV "I am sorry, miss, I don't know what to tell you! I have no record of you being called in today." The desk clerk explained for the third time. "But I have a voicemail asking me to come in to answer questions about the murder last night." I moaned, searching for my phone in my pocket, also for the third time. "You must have left it in the car!" Ava expressed with exasperation. "No! I didn't! I remember grabbing it before I got out of the car!" I groaned, searching my bag and all my pockets again as the clerk asked if I could remember who the voicemail was from. "Perhaps you dropped it outside when you were flirting with Hugo!" Ava snapped, making me groan! "I was hardly flirting!" I growled, replaying the scene from outside while searching in my bag again. "You know damn well in Hugo's language THAT was flirting." Ava laughed, making me wince; she was right, of course; it seemed she always was! At least lately! "Ma'am?" The clerk asked, motioning to the queue form
