The Alpha King's Fate 10. Trouble In Paradise
Layla felt a sense of relief when the main gates of their compound finally came into view. She didn’t know when the city became so scary, but she felt safer within those walls and Diedre’s protection wards. “We’ll take her for a walk to our lookout point,” Jax said. “It will be okay; you’ll see.” Jax seemed to have pulled himself out of his depression, so at least the time alone had been helpful to both of them. But there were hundreds of missed calls on her phone. When she put it on, it dinged and vibrated with message notifications for quite some time. Brit could be dramatic sometimes but she couldn’t blame her sister for this. She’d stuck her with some strangers when she was feeling scared and then abandoned her. The town wasn’t as busy as it usually was, and that brought back memories of when they all lived in fear and constantly camped on the packhouse grounds. The whole pack was more relaxed since the incident with the witch, and part of her believed it was because they a
The Alpha King's Fate 11. Summons
Jax walked into the conference room where Dylan was waiting and went straight for the drinks cabinet. “A little too early for that, isn’t it?” Dylan said. He threw his head back and downed the shot before he poured another. And that still wasn’t enough fortification. He turned around and looked at the envelope Dylan placed on the table. There was only one group of people so full of themselves that they still sent messengers when they could easily have called. The little envelope had its official seal, a raised circle stamped in red wax, and it stank of dark magic. “It’s been over a year since that incident at the gate and longer since Alpha Finn. Why would they do this now?” Dylan asked. “Because they’re assholes,” he growled. He’d started to believe that the Circle accepted his declaration that they were breaking away because he hadn’t heard from them since their last visit. Since Layla grabbed Hugo by his throat. He should have known better. They would never let him go t
The Alpha King's Fate 12. Scam Artist
Layla landed hard on her elbow, knocking the wind out of herself for the millionth time. And for the millionth time, Jax rushed over to help her back to her feet. “I’m fine,” she said through her teeth. “You’re not fine. You’re distracted. I look like I’m beating up my mate,” Jax growled. “Do you want to do this or not?” “Of course, I want to do this,” she snapped, pushing him off and testing the movement in her arm. The pain had already subsided. She looked around the field and saw several trainees sitting around the perimeter, watching her make a fool of herself. They were probably regretting putting their faith in her now. She’d been crap for the last couple of hours, and if it hadn’t been for her sleeping wolf, she would have bled all over the place. “Then stop fucking around and get your head in the game,” Jax growled before he walked back to his side. He’d been angry with her since they got back. She didn’t know if it was because he’d figured out that Britney was a littl
The Alpha King's Fate 13. Unbreakable
Jax pushed his frustration down as he watched his mate walk—no, run away from him to avoid a confrontation. It had been a long time since she’d masked her emotions from him, but he could still sense the underlying panic because they were forever bound. What the fuck was she hiding? “Can I train with you, Alpha?” He looked back at the trainees and saw Josh among them. The young wolf was already a warrior because his skills had been impressive even before he shifted. Micah trained Josh himself, so he would always be one of the special ones. He had the most potential out of all the young wolves to be ranked higher, perhaps even to Beta, because his wolf was more dominant. He was right to make him focus on his training instead of a girl. If Britney was his mate, that would have been different. He wouldn’t have been able to keep them apart anyway. But she wasn’t. Josh’s place was with the warriors, learning how to keep the pack safe. Something in the air didn’t feel right; he needed his
The Alpha King's Fate 14. Not Looking Back
Layla sat by the window all night as she used to when she first arrived at the packhouse. She’d locked the door from the inside even though she’d known Jackson wouldn’t come. It was her anger making her act out. Jax wouldn’t hurt Britney. He’d gone out of his way to protect both of them before she knew what being a mate meant. But her emotions were unstable, and her wolf seemed to have pushed forward again. The threat around her felt so real that she probably would have fought Jax to protect Britney. What kind of mate did that? How could she have stood there, ready to attack Jackson? What was wrong with her wolf that it had been dormant since the shift, but now in the space of a few days, it acted out a few times? She trained for a year and tried to shift and speak to her wolf again, but everything failed. Why now? There were no voices in her head. Nothing to indicate she was going to shift. She knew she still had a wolf only because it enhanced her senses, and she was stronger t
The Alpha King's Fate 15. Crimson River Pack
“We’re here.” Jax finally noticed his surroundings and realised they had already stopped at the Crimson Valley territory gates. He’d been stuck in his head for hours but it was time to put his emotions aside. Layla would be there when he got home; they would fix this mess once and for all. “Why aren’t they opening the gates?” he asked with a frown. Maybe he should have asked why he couldn’t sense anyone at the gates. How would they keep anyone safe if there was no one to patrol and alert them of intruders? “I’ll call them,” Dylan said as he pulled his phone out. While his Beta ordered the gates to be opened, he rolled down his window to understand what they were up against. There was no scent of magic in the air, light or dark. There should have been a little if the pack had protective wards. “Do they have witches in their pack?” he asked. Since he’d been cursed the day he’d taken the throne from his father, he’d been too messed up to keep up with such details. He hadn’t g
The Alpha King's Fate 16. Where's Rebecca?
Layla watched Hope run through the garden, laughing as she chased butterflies. She didn’t remember anything at that age but must have done the same with her mother. Rebecca had been involved in every aspect of their lives. She had been a good mum until she’d gone. What would Hope remember of her? How long would she have with her daughter before the Hunters forced her to abandon her? Pain lanced through her before she could block it out. “Mummy!” Hope’s delighted squeal pulled her focus back. The little girl ran over, hiding something in her palms and a little smirk that looked so much like Jackosn’s on her lips. “Open,” the toddler ordered. “It’s not a spider again, is it?” she asked hesitantly. Hope shook her head and giggled. “Open,” the girl demanded again. She took a breath while she held the green gaze that was the same as hers and then gently pried Hope’s fingers open. A worm wriggled in her palm, attempting to escape to safety. She sat back and made a face. She
The Alpha King's Fate 17. A Shot To The Heart
It took them the rest of the day to ensure their guests were fed and settled. The children refused to be separated, so they settled in the packhouse hall. His Omegas spent the better part of the afternoon moving mattresses and other essentials for them, some of them donated from the pack because he couldn’t risk anyone going out for a supply run. The children were still scared, making everyone else around them anxious. The pack was still on edge since the scare with the Hunters. But Layla seemed more anxious than the rest of them. Jackson looked at his mate as they went up the last flight of stairs and gently squeezed her hand. “Are you okay?” “I... I’m not sure. Rebecca hasn’t come back yet,” she answered. “I’m probably just being a bit paranoid because of those children. She disappears all the time and comes back as if nothing’s happened.” “It hasn’t been that long since the memorial. The last person I’d worry about right now is your mother,” he answered. “She can take care
