The Alpha's Guardian Chapter 42
“Wade…” I whisper, feeling awful.“Why?” he asks, removing my hand from his knee and standing.“To protect you,” I answer honestly.“From Alpha Liam?” he turns back, looking at me confused.“What does Liam have to do with this?” I ask, confused, following his movement.“Everything!” He screams. “I am so angry and jealous every time I think about him touching you, you meeting with him, especially after everything that happened last night.”I get that laughing right now is a poor choice, but I can’t help it as laughter bubbles up in and breaks through. I laugh at how cute Wade looks when he is jealous and the absurdity of where we are right now. Here he is thinking I am lying to him about meeting Liam and here I am worried he is going to find out that I was talking to the rogues. It hits me like a cool glass of water. Shit, I am going to have to tell him about my meeting with Simon and the meeting Corbin wants. My laughter dies down quickly as I look at a very handsome and confused Wade
The Alpha's Guardian Chapter 43
After Liam left, Wade went to his office, where he spent the rest of the day making phone calls and doing alpha things. Only emerging to grab dinner and then lock himself back up. I can feel him erecting his proverbial walls. Not only has he locked me out of his emotions and mind, but he is also now trying to create a physical distance between us.I know a heavy conversation is coming about Liam, about my sneaking around collecting information. Yet I don’t see how it’s any different from what Francis does. Wade doesn’t know who he talks to and sneaks off to meet. Hell, he doesn’t even know who Francis uses to collect the intel he gathers, yet Wade trusts him. Wade emerges from the office sauntering past me and straight to the stairs. I follow behind him and stop short when I see him walk into his room and close the door. My heart sinks realizing he won't be staying in my room tonight. I mean, did I expect him to keep sleeping on the floor of my room when he has his own plush bed in hi
The Alpha's Guardian Chapter 44
*Wade POV* Ali has seemed anxious all day. Anytime we were near the forest line, she watched it like a hawk looking for its prey. As if she was expecting an attack at any moment. Even now, as we walk back to the packhouse, her eyes keep darting around looking for some evil force that wants to sweep me away. “Ali” “Mmm,” she says looking over her shoulder. “Are you always this tense before stressful things?” “No! And that’s what’s got me even more on edge. Something doesn’t feel right. But I can’t place it.” “Everything will be fine,” I assure her. “Right.” She scoffs. “Do you know how difficult you are to guard?” “What? Me!?” “Yes! You are always running headfirst into dangerous situations. Rogue attack? You’re the first out the door. Sparring session with a jealous mate? Tap Wade in.” I laugh a deep, hearty laugh. I can see her point. “And don’t get me started on you
The Alpha's Guardian Chapter 45
*Ali POV* Wade must have snuck in early in the morning, as I can see the calm rising and falling of the blankets on the ground. I have a strong desire to go over to him, crawl in and just be next to him, but I know it’s inappropriate. Not that blurting out to him I love him was all that appropriate either, but it happened, so there isn’t much I can do about it now. I quickly get dressed in my usual guardian attire, loading my vest and holsters with their trusty steel companions. By the time I walk out of the walk-in closet Wade is up and moving swiftly as folds his blankets. When he notices me, he offers me a tight-lipped smile. “Kane just linked me. Corbin is already at the border. He would like a moment to speak with you before the committee arrives.” He informs me. I can see his hesitation at Corbin’s request to see me alone. The question he asks with his eyes but verbally remains silent is the same question I’ve been trying to avoid an

“Samuel!” I say, surprised. “I didn’t expect to see you here.” “No? I’m a committee member, aren’t I?” he quirks a brow. “Well yeah, but usually they just send James, Joseph, and Rita.” I remind him. “Well, there has been a change in plans. It’s just me.” “What do you mean?” Wade interjects, sounding a little annoyed. “There were more pressing matters, so they sent me on my own. They felt I would be the best equipped to handle a meeting like this.” He looks back over at Corbin and smirks. Corbin stares daggers at Samuel, who reaches out for his chair and takes a seat. The tension in the room triples as Samuel smiles comfortably at a rigid Corbin and confused Wade. Ther
The Alpha's Guardian Chapter 47
*Wade POV* Corbin doesn’t move other than to breathe while we wait for Ali to re-emerge from the hallway with Samuel, hopefully with him a little more in check. If Samuel doesn’t keep his cool, he will scare Corbin away. Then all the tedious planning I have undergone with Samuel and the committee will go down the drain. I intended to tell Ali last night what the plan was, hell I intended to tell her quite a few things. But between Francis needing me and the annoying check-ins from Samuel, I didn’t get the chance to squeeze any real-time in with her that would have been appropriate for sharing. Then again, when exactly is the best time to bring up the time she was going behind my back meeting with the rogue king? Or how the meeting she set up is actually a ruse to get him here so he can be captured and questioned. There are too many missing alphas for this issue to be just about trusting her and her instincts. My instincts
The Alpha's Guardian Chapter 48
*Ali POV* I can’t even bear to look at Wade. My anger is much bigger than my love right now, and all I can feel is the sting of his distrust in me. I can’t very well be angry at him for keeping a secret from me, since I was doing the same. No, I’m upset that he questions my loyalty to him and the good of his pack because of the blood in my veins. Corbin has done some terrible things, awful really. I can’t afford him the luxury of excuses for his blood lust ways, but he is a rogue. And rogues act and react outside the normal realm of a regular werewolf. “Wade,” Samuel says, wiping blood from his knuckles as he appears at the door. My heart aches for Corbin and my pride is bruised for failing to keep him safe as I had sworn. Wade stands and walks to the door, hesitating momentarily. “We won’t be long and then I will be down to assist you in extracting the information we need,” Samuel says. The door crea
The Alpha's Guardian Chapter 49
The moment I’m in my room, I trudge to the bathroom. I stare at my reflection, contemplating my options. My face is smeared with blood and tears that I hadn’t known were escaping. This seems to be a recurring problem lately, these leaky eyes of mine. I can still hear Wade’s fists, wet thuds landing on my uncle’s face. The sloshing sounds of the flesh and blood echo in my ears and make my bile rise again. That’s my family. My only family. I may not have forgiven him yet, but we share blood and memories. Memories of my parents and birthdays that I could never speak about out loud. I have had Samuel, and though he is giving and kind to me, he isn’t my father, and he isn’t my uncle. He is the man who saved me and trained me. He never tucked me in or sang me happy birthday. He didn’t make me cookies because I failed my spelling test and nearly burned the house down. No, that was all Uncle Corbin. The same deformed bloody sack of flesh hanging
