Joel

“Joel, you’re home early.” Agnes greeted me, wiping her hands on her hips. She was arranging some wildflowers in a vase in the middle of the dining room table. Every time I returned home, seeing her there, breathing in her scent, it filled me with a sense of wonder. Part of me couldn’t believe that she was there. That if I blinked, she would have just been a figment of my imagination and gone in a puff of smoke.

“Agnes.” There was still some tension between us. I was having a hard time with her refusal to let me help her get a divorce. But I’ve made my decision. I should have thought of it sooner. Locke wasn’t making any progress, or he was too busy chasing tail to help me. I’m taking Agnes to see Maxwell.

“I’ll make you some coffee. Have you spoken to Cassie lately?” Agnes bustled about the kitchen, full of nervous energy.

“Agnes, sit down.” I pulled out a chair for her. She left the mugs on the counter and did as I asked. When my hands rested on her tense shoulders, she gave a

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   The Hidden Son

    “Bullshit!” Cassie exploded. “You can’t possibly believe this? She’s manipulating you. Again!”“Cassie, please be quiet.” I said, harsher than I intended. Her mouth snapped shut, and she glared at me with so many emotions swirling in her eyes. “Look, just go home with your parents and let me sort this out.” I added, “please.”Dismissing the rest of the pack, I ordered the guard to take Stacy to my office. The pack members were grumbling and mumbling amongst themselves, clearly disappointed at being excluded. Their love for drama and gossip was boundless, and they would speculate about this for days, but this was one conversation I needed to have in private.Joel wore thunder on his face when he came to take Cassie’s arm. “Come, Cassie.” He pulled her away, but not before spearing me with a scathing look. “Let the alpha deal with his mess.”I felt her eyes boring holes in my back as Joel took her away.‘You’ve done it again, Connor,’ Miles whined in my head, as if I needed to be remind

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   A Baby?

    ConnorDinner at our table was a stiff affair where no one spoke except to ask to pass the salt or some such menial things. My father ate his meal with relish, as if he hadn’t sold me out to Marcus and like he wasn’t at death’s door. My mother pecked at her food like it offended her. Joel and Agnes sat close together on the farther end and Cassie hardly ate. The rest of the pack ate in the mess hall and snippets of their conversation and laughter carried back to us, contrasting with the tense silence that hung over us.The light was fading behind the tall trees, casting a scarlet glow over the pack house when we went out. A blazing fire greeted us, providing some warmth from the chilly evening. Fall was coming fast; you could smell it and see the leaves changing. It was a welcome change from the sweltering heat.Most of the pack, pups included, were present sitting on the ground or wherever they found a place. Eric had placed chairs for the elders, my parents, and all the other ranked

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   Love and Fear

    CassandraAs soon as Connor left, I got up as well. “What the hell is wrong with you people?” Glaring at them with my hands on my hips, I felt like shaking Alpha Troy. “You can’t just drop a bomb on him like that and expect him to be okay. Can’t you see he is upset?”“Young lady, you obviously are ignorant about how pack matters work. I suggest you learn fast.” Alpha Troy stood, and the others followed his lead. “Beta Joel, I expect you to instruct your daughter in the proper behavior around alpha wolves and her elders. Seeing as she regards herself to be the next luna.” His scathing tone made the blood rush to my face. I didn’t know what to feel – embarrassment or anger.“Yes, Alpha Troy.” Joel bowed his head, and the elders did the same as Connor’s parents walked out.Ugh, I didn’t understand all this neck baring nonsense, but I guessed it was expected of me to do the same. So, I did, but with reluctance.As the elders passed me, Elder Marcus gave me a side-stare filled with resentm

    ConnorWhat the hell was my father thinking, telling Marcus to go to the council? Well, fuck that. If that’s the way he wanted to play it, let’s get it all into the open and Marcus can have all the ammunition he needed to get me executed. Problem solved.‘No, Connor, wait…’ Miles groaned, but I wasn’t listening.“By all means, Elder Marcus. But let me fill you in on all the laws I’ve broken in the last few weeks. Starting with why I went to Miami.” I had the floor and everyone’s attention.“Connor…” Joel shook his head, warning me to keep quiet. I held up my hand to silence him.“Lyon sent me there to kill a man called Rossi. Yes, a human. But you know what, Elder Marcus?” I grinned at the old wolf. “Lyon had sold me to that man, and they were expecting me.”“Connor, you don’t have to do this.” My father stood to intervene.“No, Dad. The elders want to know what happened. It is their right, isn’t it?” I felt reckless.“But why not end Lyon right there where you were, Alpha Connor? How

    CassandraIt was chaos. Everyone talked at once. Connor stood and shouted at his parents, hurt that they didn’t tell him about it sooner. The elders were upset, some more than others, but for different reasons. I scolded Joel and Agnes for not telling me about the pregnancy sooner. I was going to be a big sister, and Connor’s father was dying. It was all too much.“Quiet!” Connor’s mother raised her voice, startling everyone. “Let me speak.”Everyone settled down, waiting for her to continue, except for Connor.“I can’t believe this. You can’t be dying. Why can’t your wolf heal you?”I reached for his hand and tugged at it, urging him to calm down and let his mother speak. His father looked deflated, hanging his head to avoid seeing how this news affected everyone. Connor sank into the chair, and I nestled against his side to comfort him. It was one of my worst fears: losing a parent or a loved one.“We didn’t go on a cruise like we led you to believe,” Connor’s mother said, her tone

  • The Alpha of Wolf Creek   A Battle of a Different Kind

    “I’ve made a serious mistake.” My father looked straight at me when he said it and paused. His hands rested on the table; fingers locked together. His gaze dropped to his hands, then he lifted his brow to stare at me again.The elders were brimming with anticipation. It crackled like static in the surrounding air. Marcus perched on the edge of his seat. He was basically salivating at the prospect of victory.Cassie tightened her grip on my fingers, and I placed my right hand over our linked hands. No matter what Dad said, it won’t change what she was to me.My heart was a brick in my chest. Just say it, I conveyed with my eyes. Tell them how disappointed you are with your son. But what he said next was unexpected. “I shouldn’t have kept the truth from you, Connor. It is because of me you got sucked into this mess with Lyon.”Did I imagine it? Was it an apology from my father, Alpha Troy Wolfe? Maybe not an apology, per se, but it was more than I could have imagined coming from his l
