THE ALPHA'S DEBT CHAPTER ELEVEN
VINCEI recognize Barrett's car when it speeds past us, and my body stiffens. A part of me hopes he'd ignore us, but just then, screeching tires sound behind us, and I sigh deeply. Lori's head snaps back and her face fills with dread, which makes my fury rise.“Stop.” I tell Welsh, and he brakes, making us lean forward.Barrett’s car speeds up and stops in front of us, blocking our way forward. I push the door open with force, gazing back at Lori and then Lola.“Stay here.” I tell them as I exit the car.Welsh is already standing by the door while Levi and the other three men form an uneven semicircle in front of my car. I stride past them, feeling Conan push to break free and slice through Barrett’s throat.I release my defenses a little and Conan rises to the surface as my nails elongate, and I remove the patch on my left eye, revealing my glowing eyes. Barrett blinks once when he sees me, and I see his confident pose falter.“Your presence here is illegal.” Barrett barks at me.“We

LORI“What?” I ask, blinking.Vince heaves, and my heart hammers heavily as a sour feeling fills my stomach.“One of the Supremes met me when I brought you home,” Vince begins. “Claudine, she met me in the parking lot.”I lean my head forward slightly, nodding for Vince to continue.He shrugs slightly. “All she said was that your parents would have never allowed any of this to happen.” “My parents are alive.” I furrow my brows.Vince nods once. “Yes, I know that, and that’s what confuses me.”I turn to Lola, whose lips form a straight line as she sighs, and my heart starts to thump heavily. I shake my head gently, facing Vince.“No.” I try to convince myself, but it’s futile. “It can’t be.”Vince places his hand on my left shoulder. “Please, relax.” His voice is low. “We have one week until the next summoning, so we can find some answers before then.”My thumping heart eases slightly, and I gaze down at my stomach, blinking multiple times. My mind immediately wanders to the many time
THE ALPHA'S DEBT CHAPTER NINE
VINCEI quickly bend to catch Lori just before she hits the ground. Her face becomes faintly pale and my heart hammers, filling my ears. I raise my head to face the Supremes. “This is exactly why she should never return to that hellhole,” I yell and my gaze circles them.I rise, carrying Lori in my arms. The urgency to get her conscious pumps adrenaline so strong that I turn sharply and dash to the door. Barrett moves towards me and I growl at him to not dare. “One week.” A loud voice echoes into the silence, making me halt halfway through the door.I turn to face the Supremes with my brows furrowed, and my gaze settles on Garf, whose face is set in a tight frown.“This summoning continues in one week.” Garf barks, and all six of them stand to leave. I swirl and storm off to the elevator, burying my anger at Garf. The ground floor elevator opens and I hurry in a slow jog, careful not to shake Lori excessively. I kick the door into the parking lot but freeze for a second when I star
THE ALPHA'S DEBT CHAPTER EIGHT
LORI“No way.” Vince protests with knitted brows.“I need to go, Vince.” My voice is firm.Vince sighs and looks at Lola, expecting some support.“They need to know everything Barrett did,” Lola says.Vince exhales and looks at me, parting his lips to speak.“And it’s better if Lori’s there to tell it,” Lola adds, interrupting Vince.Vince’s head snaps back to Lola, his brows furrowing slightly, and his shoulders slump in defeat. Sighing, he says, “Well, OK.” Lola's lips raise in a mock smirk. “I know you hate losing, but this is Lori’s fight.”“We leave after breakfast tomorrow.” Vince stands. “I have to take care of some things tonight.” He glances at Welsh and Levi, and they follow as he leaves.The rest of the evening is mostly silent for me, and when Vince returns, he sits on the balcony until very late, just staring straight ahead. I lie awake, swirling restlessly for long, but dozing off eventually.The morning comes rushing like water from a pressured tap nozzle, and Vince i
THE ALPHA'S DEBT CHAPTER SEVEN
LORII’m just angry—angry at myself for believing I can be saved. Vince was bold enough to interfere in the first place, and I’m grateful for that. Levi drives quietly, stealing peeks at me occasionally. We cross Malrock’s border, and my heart drowns. I place both my hands underneath my stomach and blow a shaky breath. ‘This is it.’ As if sensing my pain, Levi’s shoulders rise and fall as he heaves, and his fist tightens on the steering wheel as we approach a curve on the road.“Stop.” I blurt out suddenly. Levi turns to me with knitted brows. “What?”“Stop, please.” My words are rushed, and I fix a stern gaze on Levi’s.Levi brakes, and we lean forward as the car reaches a quick standstill. Levi glances at me, the unspoken question written on his face. “I’ll walk the rest of the way.” My voice is low, and I turn my head to fix my gaze ahead.“But…” Levi starts, but I interrupt.“It’s just up ahead.” “No, it’s not.” Levi protests, looking down at my stomach, then at the road ahea
THE ALPHA'S DEBT CHAPTER SIX
VINCEA legion of questions swarms me on our quiet drive back home. As the car approaches the Alpha house, where I’m supposed to alight, I see Lola standing with Lori outside the door.I quickly turn away, eyes straight, and gesture forward with my hand to Welsh, who throttles, heading for the parking lot. Lola walks towards us, but the car revs past her. A sour taste fills my mouth—guilt for not offering an explanation, but she’ll forgive me. Welsh and Levi stay mute and frozen beside the car as I march to my office. I sit on my chair, my head clasped between my hands as I scramble for an excuse to disobey the Supremes. A gentle knock on the door startles me; it creaks open, and Lola emerges. My gaze moves over her shoulder, but she shuts the door.“She stayed back,” Lola says, pointing backwards.I blow a loud breath, an unusual unease filling me as I think of talking to Lori. “Garf was there,” I state, gaze fixed on Lola’s.Lola nods, exhaling softly. “Yeah, Welsh told me everyth
THE ALPHA'S DEBT CHAPTER FIVE
VINCE“Yo, take it easy, man.” Levi, my third in command, speaks from the back seat.I briefly lower my eyes to the meter and grunt softly as I step on the throttle. Levi falls silent, and I’m grateful he finally understands. Welsh, my second in command and best friend, sits quietly beside me. He understands my fury in times like these.The next words that would escape my lips should be me roaring at Barrett or punching his face. Who would abuse a pregnant woman so much that she loses her baby?‘He deserves to die.’ Conan growls loudly in my head.I’m glad we share a side on this, but something flashes back in my mind. A feeling I hate to acknowledge. What if I snap and lose control? What if I end up hurting an innocent person?Only Barrett will pay for his crimes, along with that fool Gusto and any other wolf who stood by him. They’ll all face justice. My knuckles whiten as I clench the steering wheel. I cut sharply left, hearing Levi grunt as he slams into the door. I don’t look a
THE ALPHA'S DEBT CHAPTER FOUR
LORI“I’ll need a few details,” Vince states.I sigh deeply, steeling myself to recount the last seven months of my life without letting emotions overwhelm me. My gaze drifts to the expansive green landscape outside the balcony, grounding me in the present. “Can I get some air, please?” I request.Vince nods quietly, then steps up to the bed, lifting me like a cracked egg, fragile and vulnerable to even the slightest misstep. He guides me to the balcony, where two sturdy patio chairs are facing outward.Vince helps me settle into the chair, and I exhale in relief as the soft, firm cushion hugs my back. I’m grateful he chose comfort over rigid seating. He sits quietly beside me, his gaze intent, the steady weight of his grey eye locking onto mine, making my body tense. “So what do you want to know?” I prompt, uncertain of his next question.“I’m guessing seven months and six days ago is when Barrett rejected you?” Vince speaks so casually, like it isn’t so serious.“Well, adding the
THE ALPHA'S DEBT CHAPTER THREE
LORIDistorted voices echo in my ears as I slowly regain consciousness. The voices fade when a low moan escapes my lungs, and I rub my hand against my eyes gently.“She’s awake.” A female voice whispers. “Call Vince, fast.”As my eyes can make out images, I see a man hurry out of the room. Slowly, I slide up against the soft, high headrest, and I feel a sharp pain at the back of my left hand. I grimace and observe the IV line I hadn’t noticed earlier.“Sorry about that.” The strange woman whispers and pushes the IV line stand closer to me.“How are you feeling, Lori?” She inquires.I shake my head slowly, replaying the last events I witnessed in my head, and I suck in a deep breath. The Strays.“I’m Lola.” The woman beams warmly, probably trying to help me relax. “Do you feel any internal pain?” I sigh deeply, nodding as I consider the room. Simple is the word that describes it, but the large bed stands out. Whoever leaves here must sleep roughly, I muse. Most likely belongs to one o
