If Looks Could Kill Chapter 20
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
If Looks Could Kill Chapter 21
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
If Looks Could Kill Chapter 22
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
If Looks Could Kill Chapter 25
LUKEWe buried my father a few days later in a private family ceremony in the woods behind the pack house.After the funeral, Bobby held a small press conference outside the house.I told my people that my father passed away and that as me as their official Alpha, I promised to make their home safe.After, I walk slowly up the stairs. I want to scream and punch things. I want to destroy and dismember, but I also just want to lay in Alexi's arms and cry. I'm not ready to be alone as a son. With my dad being so old, I felt I just didn't get enough time with him. Being a shifter, you take time for granted. Any one of us could still die at any moment.Now, I'm Alpha. In charge of people's lives. They'll look to me for all the decisions and I just hope I make the right ones.My wolf wants to bug out. Leave. Run. Only because he's hurt and struggling. Dealing with everything that's happened.But I can't run. Not now. I need Alexi.Walk slowly down the hall to Alexi's room and open the door.
If Looks Could Kill Chapter 26
LUKEI knew something was wrong. I could feel it in my gut. Then I heard Alexi whimper and someone talking to her.When I saw Gerome pushing on Alexi in the girl's washroom, I fucking lost it. My wolf surfaced and he saw red. All I wanted to do was rip him to pieces for even thinking of trying that with her.As cousins, we were friends, but not anymore. He steps foot anywhere near me or Alexi, I'll rip his head off.When I saw how powerless Alexi was, I felt angry. She shouldn't be so powerless. I know her collar suppresses her wolf, but her human side should still be able to hold her own.After the incident, Alexi refused to come out of her room. So, I've been staying with her every day and night until she'd fall asleep for a week now. But tonight? No. This shit ends now.After Alexi fell asleep in my arms, I snuck out and went downstairs.Gavin, Terry, Bobby and Lucy were all sitting in the common room.Lucy was sitting on the couch, legs crossed, playing on her phone.Gavin was sit
If Looks Could Kill Chapter 27
LUKEI woke up to sun beaming on my face. I rolled to my back and opened one eye. The sun was certainly brighter today. I blink my eyes to adjust to light.I was feeling fan-fucking-tastic. I was out almost instantly. I slept even better than the first night with Alexi.Speaking of my sexy red head.I reach my arm out and the bed is cold. I raise my head and look at the spot Alexi is supposed to be in. She's not there. I look around the room and call out to the bathroom. "Alexi?"No answer. I sit up. She wouldn't. I pull the sheets off and pull on my jeans. I swing the door to the room open and rush into the hallway.I'm practically running down the stairs and find Gavin on his phone with a coffee on the couch."Hey, you seen Alexi?" I ask. I'm breathless and in a panic.Gavin chuckles at the sight of my worried face. "Yeah, dude. She's out back in the garden."I breathe a sigh of relief. Leaning back. "Thanks."I step to the back of the house. Past the game room and the training room
