Alek–Three Days later

When I woke up, I found Talon stealthily stalking through Las Vegas as if it were our territory. I understood how he was feeling. I was feeling it, too. I had tried so hard to deny that Tawnie was my mate, simply because I was a rogue, and we didn’t get mates, but I couldn’t anymore. Marking her had felt so right that it couldn’t be wrong. I just wished that I knew why she had such a strong reaction to it. I had never heard of someone being so unhappy about who their mate was without rejecting them, which she could have easily done, but she didn’t. It made me wonder if she felt the bond, too.

Was that why she had spent so much time searching for me? Is that why she hadn’t killed me the night I told her that I had been tasked with killing her? Was it why she called off the hit on me? In my life, I had never wanted someone like I wanted her, much less wanted someone to crave me with every fiber of their being. No, correction. I wanted Tawnie to want me more than he

  • Roll The Dice   Road Trip

    TawnieA Few Days Later I cursed loudly as Storm’s scent steadily grew stronger. I heard her when she got to my penthouse, but I was not in the mood to see her. I had spent the last 16 hours, curled up in my bed, missing Alek like crazy. His scent, which had completely disappeared from everywhere else, but my bed, was still the only thing that seemed to calm me down. I couldn’t believe that I had let him into my head so much. I really hadn’t changed from that young vampire who wanted nothing more than the kind of love my parents shared. I still secretly wanted it so bad that I was willing to put myself in a potentially bad situation to have a chance at it. I groaned as I thrashed irritatedly in my bed. I knew that if anyone asked me about it the next day, I would deny it. Even to myself. I only stopped thrashing when she stopped outside my bedroom door before knocking. “Tawnie, may I come in?”I rolled over onto my stomach before pulling a pillow over my head. “Go away,” I mumbled i

  • Roll The Dice   Brotherly Talk

    AlekLater that evening, I stood in the shower with my arm braced against the tile and my head down. My thoughts raced as I thought about the phone call Andresky had received. How in the hell did I have no idea that he was trafficking children? Even more than that, how in the hell was I going to punish him? Even more importantly, how in the hell was I going to get word to Tawnie? She needed to know. I knew that she would take care of it, and punish the people responsible for hurting the kids. Even more than that, I knew that she would do everything in her power to help them. Or at least, I thought she would.To be honest, I didn’t know that much about her, but I hoped that she had a fondness for children. At least a little. If she didn’t, I didn’t know if we would ever have children, and I wanted to have everything with her. Eventually, that was. I didn’t know what would happen if she didn’t agree with me and–wait! Did I want kids with Tawnie? I had never wanted them before. I never e

  • Roll The Dice   Alek's Clue

    StormI was traipsing through the streets of Vegas, trying to clear my head after letting Alek’s tiger into Tawnie’s penthouse. I had been smelling him for days, but out of respect for Tawnie, I had ignored his presence. Well, ignored it as much as I could with all things considered. I could tell that Tawnie was hurting. I just didn’t know why. The only thing I knew was that whenever she got frustrated or angry and stormed off, I always found her somewhere Alek’s scent was the strongest. As soon as I stepped out of the casino, Alek’s scent mixed with blood hit my nose, making me frown.What in the hell? All shifters in our line of business knew that leaving our scents anywhere was a death sentence. That was why when we were working, we all wore scent blockers. So, why was his bloody scent everywhere? Was he working in our city? What in the hell was he playing at? If he had the gall to do a job in Vegas, I was going to hunt him down! Tawnie did not allow any other bosses to send people

  • Roll The Dice   Terrifying Revelations

    When I made it back to Andresky’s territory, I stopped to pull clothes on before heading to his current office. I knew he would be reviewing the weekly reports for the drug peddling he was doing in Tawnie’s territory. I sighed as I jogged to the building, regretting that I hadn’t done more to help them solve all their problems. At least I had given them the biggest clue that I could to help them find the answers. As soon as I stepped into Andresky’s office, I made my way to stand beside my brother behind our boss with my hands clasped behind my back. I didn’t even bother glancing at my brother when he opened our link.‘You look different. I take it your mission went well,’ he told me.The corner of my lips twitched as I thought about Tawnie. ‘As well as it could have.’‘Oh? Did you complete your task?’ he asked.‘Kind of.’Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him glance at me. ‘What does that mean?’I didn’t answer immediately as I thought about the best way to answer him. I knew that i

  • Roll The Dice   Conflicting Emotions

    Three Days LaterI leaned back in my office chair, sighing deeply. I felt like I was going crazy. No matter where I went in my territory, I could smell Alek. At the bar we met at. In my office. Even in my penthouse. Literally everywhere I went, it was like I had just missed him. His scent was so strong, I felt like if I just went around the next corner, he would be there, and I would once again be in his arms. It had become a different kind of obsession. I was missing him so fucking bad, it wasn’t just an emotional ache. It was also physical. My chest constricted every time I thought about him. That is when it didn’t beat so fast that it threatened to beat out of my chest. I groaned as I closed my eyes to allow myself a deep inhale of his scent. It smelled so fucking delicious. I wanted to eat him up like he was a buffet of exotic treats.“Fuck!” I grumbled. “Why do I want you so much?”“Want who so much?” Storm asked as she walked into the office to throw herself down into a chair. “
