Alpha George’s POV I hated breakfasts with my family. They were always tense and awkward, especially since the family had been divided and I knew I was alone. I was eating my salad in silence, trying to ignore the glares of my father and the pity of my mother. Rick, who was usually the only one who tried to make a conversation, was quiet today too. He had a sad look in his eyes and was struggling to catch a slice of meat in his fork. It was as if he had lost the love of his life. “Do you think he loved Alicia?” Knight inquired. “Hell no, Rick doesn’t love anyone, he doesn’t have the ability to love, if he does, you wouldn’t see him with different chicks all the time. He has never really had a serious girlfriend, it’s almost as if someone broke him, it’s not like I care.” I remarked and shoved a spoon full of salad in my mouth. I loved eating healthy so I could live long enough to control the pack. My phone rang, breaking the silence. I fished it out of my pocket, glanced at the
Nora’s POV I zipped up my leather pants and pulled on my long-sleeve black shirt. I checked myself in the mirror and adjusted my black face mask. I looked like a ninja, but I didn’t care. I was going to catch the claw killer, and that was all that mattered. “Mom, are you going on a date?” Asher asked, walking into my room. He looked adorable in his SpongeBob pyjamas, and his grey eyes were glowing in my dimly lit room. I smiled and squatted at his level. “No, sweetie, I’m not going on a date. I’m just going out with Zane, that’s all.” “You know, if you make him your boyfriend, Matt and I won’t have a problem with that, right?” he persisted. “Uh, I know, but he is just a friend, and you don’t have to know everything. Now, go to bed, okay? It’s past your bedtime.” “Alright, mom. Have fun with him, and do not forget to come back early.” Asher hugged me and ran back to his room. I let out a sigh and grabbed my purse from the nightstand. I headed for the main door and was abou
Alpha George’s POVMy head was throbbing, and my mouth was dry. I tried to open my eyes, but they felt heavy and sore. I could hear faint voices, muffled and distorted. I strained to listen, hoping to find out where I was and what was happening to me."...have to kidnap him...going to make him take me back..." A familiar voice, sweet and soft, said, I could tell it was Alicia's."...wouldn't take you back...broke up with you...going to help you get him back...trust me..." Another voice, deep and gruff, but with a hint of madness and cruelty. It was Alicia's father, he was a very dangerous man and also a criminal mastermind. In the past, he had been involved in drug trafficking, human trafficking, and murder. They were talking about me as if I was a prize to be won, a toy to be played with, or a pawn to be manipulated."This is what you get for getting engaged to his daughter all in the name of love when we both know she was chosen by your father and you had to accept her to please him
Nora’s POV We sneaked into the park, avoiding the security cameras and the guards. We reached the tree and started to look around for any clues. It was hard to see anything in the dim light, but I noticed a small red button at the foot of the tree. I touched it, curious to see what it could do. Suddenly, a small passage opened up in the tree, revealing a goddamn dark tunnel. I gasped in surprise and stepped back to look at it. Zane's eyes widened in shock as he saw the passage. He grabbed my arm and pulled me back. “Wait a minute, Miss Famous. Don’t go in there it could be a trap.” He remarked. “Let me go first, I am the cop, remember?” he said, flashing his badge. I rolled my eyes at him. He always acted like he was the man, and I was the damsel in distress. He forgot that I was a photographer and that I had seen my fair share of danger. I wanted to go in there and see what was inside. Maybe we could find the claw killer or some evidence. I heaved a sigh and pinched my nose clos
Nora’s POV I woke up in a hospital bed, feeling groggy and sore. I looked around me and saw no one. Where the hell was Zane? I remembered the last thing I saw before I passed out. The droplets of blood and money scattered across the floor of the lair. Fear crossed my face, and my chest rose and fell with rapid breaths. I couldn’t lose him, I had to find him. I ripped the tubes from my arm and jumped down the bed. I stumbled out of the room, ignoring the beeping of the machines. I ran into the hallway, looking for any sign of Zane. “Hey, you! Stop!” A nurse shouted, but I didn’t listen. I pushed past her and kept running barefoot. I reached the lobby and was shocked by the sight. A group of reporters surrounded me, flashing their cameras and shouting their questions. “Miss Clark, Miss Clark, how do you feel? You are a hero!” “Miss Clark, how did you find the lair of the claw killer? He has been on the run for months." “Miss Clark, Miss Clark, is it true that you recovered a lot
Nora’s POV "Don't go." I said and pulled him beside me on the hospital bed. I didn't want him to go, and I wanted to have him right now. I looked into his blue eyes and grabbed his hand, resting it on my waist. "We have been waiting for this moment for a long time, why are you suddenly hesitating? Is there something you are not..." He cut me off with a kiss before I could finish my speech, his lips muffling my words and his hand sliding under my shirt, caressing my back. I moaned and arched into him, loving his touch. He broke the kiss, looking into my eyes. "You are going to regret not letting me go," he said those words like a promise, his voice as smooth as velvet. "I am not." I replied. "I have wanted this for a very long time, don't think about tomorrow, don't worry, just stay." I didn't want him to overthink. He looked at me and sighed. He removed his clothes one by one, revealing his sculpted body, and I was lost for a second, his abs flexing as he bent and removed his pan
Alpha George’s POV The rain was pouring down like a waterfall, drenching everything in sight. I got out of my car and slammed the door shut, feeling the cold water seep into my clothes and skin. I didn’t need an umbrella, I was an alpha and I could handle a little water. “Brother, wait!” Jack shouted from behind me, running after me with an umbrella over his head. “You need this.” I snatched the umbrella from his hand and threw it away. It landed on the wet ground with a splash. “An alpha doesn’t need an umbrella. I need to show strength and confidence if I want to get the information I need.” Jack heaved a sigh and followed me to the gate of the Stormchaser pack. He knew better than to argue with me. We were here to collect the information on the pack members because the beta refused to give it to him after I didn’t show up to the meeting. I banged on the gate with my fist, making a loud noise that echoed in the rain. A small door opened, and a guard wearing a raincoat peeked ou
Nora’s POV“It is safe now you can come out, they are gone.” I whispered, holding the blanket to my chest. I felt exposed and vulnerable, lying on the hospital bed. I ran my hand through my messy hair and heaved a sigh."Thank goodness," Zane breathed, crawling out from under the bed. He looked around, making sure no one was watching. He started putting on his clothes, as if nothing had happened. "What did they want?""They were happy I found the claw killer's lair. They said they doubled the security. They think he might come after me." I told him, shivering at the memory."That's good. You need to be careful, doll. We both know he is very dangerous." Zane said, buttoning his shirt. He leaned over and kissed me softly on the lips. "You are a brave and amazing doll. The sex was great. I enjoyed it. It’s like nothing I have ever experienced. You were so good with the tongue and everything."He was about to kiss me again when his phone rang. He took it out of his pants pocket and lo
