If Looks Could Kill Chapter 18
ALEXI"What are you doing here?" The door to the safe house opens and I walk in."I need access to the lab." I walk in and turn to the rather handsome man before me.Ollie. Textured, dirty blonde long hair. Well-groomed and very muscular. My contact to the Alliance Laboratories."We almost got killed last time, Alexi. They've upped the security. We can't" He walks into the tiny kitchen and sits down at the table.The safe house is a house in a relatively ghost town of a neighborhood in Red Rock. Dragons have them all over if we ever get separated. Ollie is the keeper of sorts of this house. Helping lost Dragons find their way.I sit across from him. My hands folded on the table. "Please. It's crucial I have access. Give me the codes and I'll do it myself."Ollie leans on the table. "Those codes are useless now. Even without our attack, they change them every week. I can't just cough up codes to you.""Then get new ones." I grit as I grow impatient.He studies me. "What do you need in

LUKEAfter dropping everyone off in White Rock, I drive myself and my new Dragon friend back to Red Rock. I get just inside town and stop. We're in a secluded spot by a bunch of warehouses. Not that it matters in this city. I could beat this guy in the middle of the street and no one would care. But, right now, I just want to keep this between us.I open up the trunk and he's panicking. "Good. You're awake." I grab him by the hair and drag him out to the ground. I smile at him while I shove him to his knees.I squat down in front of him. "Now. We are going to have a talk. You cooperate, I let you go. You don't, I use my nifty Alpha powers and bring the Unit down on your Dragon ass. I'm sure you've heard what they do to Dragons." I bounce my brow.His eyes are wild while he fights the gag in his mouth. He starts to mumble a bunch of stuff. I walk over to the driver side door, open it and pull out my gun. I walk back over to him and show it to him. "Silver bullets. You really fuck me o

ALEXI Three days after Luke captured me, Ollie got the codes I needed. He programmed them into keycards I will use on the doors to the laboratory. He hands them to me. "You're sure you want to do this." He holds them as I put wrap my fingers around them. "Yes, Ollie. I must." I suck in a breath. "You act like you don't have a choice, Alexi. When you do. You have the choice to not pursue this. Your Alpha. His heart is strong. He can give you want you want. You just need to open your heart, Alexi." Ollie held my arms and spoke softly, but with the guidance of a scholar. I smile. "Thank you for these. I must go." I take the key cards and put them in my pocket. Leaving the house, I walk down the dark street. Handling the key cards in my pocket. My thoughts are not of the mission at hand, but of Luke. I feel his heart. His feelings. I'm conflicted. He's right to a point. My father was great. I can never be like him. I couldn't rule a pack and command it with such conviction. Our peo

LUKEI've been punching my way through Lycans and Dragons in this whole damn town. Looking for anyone who can tell me what Alexi is up to and where she is."WHERE IS SHE?" I growl fiercely, delivering a brutal punch to the Dragon I have tied up on the ground of the old Lycan hole.He can barely breath. I've been knocking him senseless for two days.He utters a word I can barely hear. "Nash.""What?" I grab his hair and put his swollen, bloody face to mine. "What was that?""Nash." He says again."Who's Nash?" I grind."Princess....lover...." He manages. He's exhausted and practically dead."Make sense!" I shake his head.".... Highway 12......30 minutes.......he'll tell you." he coughs.I let go of his head. "Thanks" I say. I leave him tied up on the floor. Leaving the warehouse and jumping in my dad's truck. My dad's still hanging on, which is a good thing for me because I really want to fix my mess before he goes.I drive to the location the Dragon gave me. A lone house on the highw

ALEXII pace back and forth across the field. The night breeze blows my hair. I bounce my gun in my hand as I walk and wait.Whimpers come from the ground where 20 kids are tied up and poisoned with Wolfsbane."Oh. Shut up." I grumble. Walking past the scared, drugged faces."Alexi!"I turn, holding my gun at my side. "No! I told you to leave me be!" I shout at Luke as he heads in my direction. I walk behind the kids. "Not another step!" I point my gun at the head of a child.He stops and puts his hands up. "Ok. Alexi, just calm down.""Where's Anna Riker?! " I demand."She's here, but Alexi, please. You may be a Torrent, but you're not this. Don't do this, Alexi.""How many times are going to go through this. I will not stop until Anna Riker is dead." I push my barrel into the child's hair. She whimpers.He steps closer. "Alexi, please. This is killing me to see you like this. Please.""That's your problem Luke, not mine." I stare at him intently.He steps even closer. "I know about

LUKEI swing my fist with all the anger I have. I punch at Richie, growling. He's forced back as I swing at him left and right. He tries to block my punches, but I'm relentless and he's tiring fast."Luke! Tone it down!" He yells. He's shielding his face as I see red.I forcefully huff out my breath with each swing. He's not going to last much longer."LUKE!!" He yells, trying to break my tunnel vision.He finally sees an opening and punches me hard in the face. It's enough to send me back, shaking my head."ENOUGH!" Richie yells.I pant, wiping the blood from my nose. I'm dripping in sweat and rage. I stand with my hands on my hips looking at the ceiling, trying to slow my heart rate.He walks over and hands me a towel. "As much as I'm enjoying having a real challenge, I don't need to be pummeled by you, ok?"I glance at him and wipe my face and chest. "Sorry." I grunt.He puts his hand on my shoulder. "How are you holding up?""I'm not." I shake my head. "I've lost all control. I do
If Looks Could Kill Chapter 24
ALEXII finished writing and pushed the list to the big, blonde Alpha with the long hair. I frown at the thought that these people were my friends and they lied to me my whole life. My father was the monster. Not the Alphas. That doesn't mean that the Alliance is innocent. There's much they need to pay for, but maybe they can pay in a different way.I look across the room and Luke is leaning in a corner with his arms crossed. He smiles and nods and I give him a half smile back. I may not have liked his approach, but he showed me what I needed to see. He told me the truth, which apparently nobody has ever done before.I have a lot to process, but I hope in time I find that girl I was before all this started."Ok. Thank you, Alexi." The big Alpha says."You're welcome." I say meekly."Now. You'll have to wear the collar until you testify." He folds his hands over the paperLuke pushes off the wall to the table leaning on it. "Testify? What do you mean testify?""She has to testify when
