The Alpha King's Fate 76. And Then There Were Three
The dark magic continuously ripped Jax’s cells apart even as Cain worked on healing them. Cole—that fucker—rounded up some of the strongest witches. They were no match individually for Diedre, but together they bound her up tighter than anything. He gritted his teeth and looked sideways at Diedre. Her face was pale, her teeth snapped together, and her eyes closed. He sensed her pain. He felt all the pain in the room, even the children’s. “Silence!” The command rippled across the room. Cain growled in his head at the challenge. Had he not been bound, he would have commanded Cole just as he did at the trial. Another warrior fell beside him, and the pain slashed through his body when another bond broke. He was still trying to recover when Lincoln grabbed Layla by her throat. His claws dug into her delicate skin and punctured it. And the scent of her blood overpowered every other smell in the room. Her blood. Her pain. Her fear. All of it clouded his head, calling on the beast
The Alpha King's Fate 77. Reunion
Layla struggled to breathe. She could feel Lincoln’s large hand crushing her windpipe, even though part of him was twitching on the floor in front of her. Her mind was foggy with the lack of oxygen, but the fear that crippled her disappeared. Jax had taken charge now. Everything would be okay. Her eyes fluttered and then closed even with all the commotion around her. The cut-off screams. The scent of blood that even her nose could pick up. And when she heard her mother’s voice, she breathed a sigh of relief. Rebecca’s wolf was stronger than Nia. She would never allow anyone to hurt her family. She relaxed entirely until Britney's scream brought her back to the present. Her heart lurched as she sat up and saw Alpha Cole drag her and Hope towards him. Maybe Cole didn’t have a wolf, or he wasn’t shifting because he knew he was outnumbered. But there was no denying he had enough dark magic to follow through with his threats. She could almost smell it even though she was less than
The Alpha King's Fate 78. No Regrets - Epilogue
“What’s this?” Jax looked at the envelope in front of him with the Circle’s seal. The last time he received one of those, they summoned him and Layla to stand trial. He looked up at Hugo, sitting at the end of his conference table with Keith and frowned. If they thought they could punish him for defending his pack, they could think again. “You’re not going to sit at my table and tell me that piece of shit deserved to live, are you?” he growled. Hugo shook his head. “No, of course not, Your Majesty,” he said. “That’s just a formal apology from the Circle, acknowledging our mistakes. And we’d like to welcome the Queen and her family into your pack.” “They don’t need your shitty welcome,” Ryker snapped. Hugo flinched and looked at Ryker, who was sitting opposite him. Out of everyone, the Alpha of the Night Walkers was the least agreeable about the new partnership. If anyone knew how to hold grudges, it was Ryker. He wouldn’t be surprised if he managed to string one of them up
The Alpha King's Fate 1. In Memorium
Jackson looked at the sea of faces that filled his territory’s largest open space, the ground behind the Town Hall. Everyone was dressed in black, pain etched on their faces.From the moment all the packs arrived and started filling up the chairs they set out, he focused on not projecting his emotions or feeling theirs, something he hadn’t done since the days he felt the pack’s hatred of Layla in the shaky beginning of their relationship. It had been necessary then so he could know where all the threats lay, just as it was necessary to hide everything now. The amount of pain in the air was crippling. His pain tore him up the most.He looked over at Jasmine, Micah’s wife, and their daughter Cassandra who came over from her new pack for this occasion. The two ladies were inconsolable. One year had passed, but their tears hadn’t dried. And it was his fault. Layla, Dylan and Deidre said otherwise. Killing that witch's pack was something they all agreed had to be done, including Micah.
The Alpha King's Fate 2. Welcome Home
Layla sat on the top step at the front of the packhouse, enjoying the silence. The last of the packs were just leaving; her head was already blissfully quiet.She hadn’t anticipated how hard it would be to get through the memorial. She sighed and looked up at the top floor of the packhouse. Jax saw Chase off and then claimed he had something to do in their bedroom. He’d been alone there for at least an hour. She could sense why. He was still raw. He’d been wide open since the memorial and the run last night. She couldn’t comfort him; she’d never felt so useless in her life.“That was a hard one,” Dylan said behind her. That was putting it mildly. She hadn’t known how much it hurt to lose a pack member until Jackson marked her. She felt like she lost parts of herself with each of them, even though she hadn’t known them well. No wonder they all wanted her dead after the first attack. “Are you heading out?” she asked. “Yes. I need to keep busy,” Dylan mumbled. Like the rest of the p
The Alpha King's Fate 3. We're Different
“What do you mean we’re different? It's everyone else who is different.” Layla swallowed and set her cutlery down. The dining table had been full even before they had guests for the memorial, but now only the three of them sat around it. There had been a lot of confusion when she’d brought Britney down for dinner and a lot of sniffing. Brit smelled very human—nothing extra or ‘other’ about her. Her heart sank when she looked at all the empty seats.She looked over at Jax, but he continued eating as if he was determined not to help her explain just because she wasn’t doing it how he wanted her to.“Well... you said you’re hearing voices in your head—is it just one voice or many?”Brit speared a potato without looking up at her.“I don’t know. One, I guess,” Brit mumbled.Where was her mother when she needed her? She had disappeared before the place had become too crowded with the excuse that she had lived alone for too long; she wasn’t used to crowds. She hadn’t even had a chance to
The Alpha King's Fate 4. Jinxed
Layla stood in the shadows of the trees and watched one of the younger trainees stop and listen to his surroundings. He wouldn’t find her. She had this part of her gifts down; she could do it without effort. The boy lowered to his haunches and tilted his head. He was listening to the vibrations in the air, the sound of breathing, a heartbeat. Anything at all so he could pass through this stage of his training. At least he would get a chance to advance. She was just stuck there.It was also supposed to be a test for her to make sure she kept practising her skills. She wanted something more challenging than playing around with the kids in the woods. They must have forgotten that she’d killed enemy wolves with her bare teeth in her human form. And she was the one who’d got that witch who’d plagued them all. Or it was precisely the reason they kept giving her these stupid exercises because she was beginning to suspect that no one wanted to spar with her. Brit would probably get further a
The Alpha King's Fate 5. Security Threat
Jax watched his mate nervously sipping her cup of coffee while she watched Britney fuss over her niece.Layla was determined to have her sister with them, like she had forgotten how she had reacted to the life-altering news. She’d been in a zombie-like state for days. He understood that Britney, like Layla, liked to have all the facts to figure things out herself, but the timing wasn’t right. Brit still had to go and finish the semester so she could wrap up her first year in college. “So... Did you sleep well?” Layla asked. “I’m in a cult in the middle of a forest full of wolves. How do you think I slept?” Brit answered without looking away from Hope. Layla put her mug down and pushed the food on her plate around. She hadn’t really eaten it, just as she hadn’t eaten much of her dinner. “We’re not a cult, but you’ll see that for yourself soon,” Layla said. “But we need to talk about why you’re here. You sounded terrified when you called me.”Britney’s eyes widened as she looked up
