The Alpha's Obsession 13 - Macabre Spectacle
~Alpha Devlin~ The meeting proved to be pointless. In fact, I anticipated this outcome. I pitied Alpha Derrick. His character lacked strength and honor. I shook my head in disgust as the meaningless words continued to tumble out of his mouth. Gemma appeared to be enjoying herself. She cared more about her meal than the discussion at hand. The meeting was a just an excuse to get her by my side. I did not need her input. I made my decision regarding Alpha Derrick’s request as soon as he proposed it. However, I grew tired of the witch’s lack of interest. “Gemma!” I scolded her privately. She dropped her knife and turned to face me. “Rude! You don't have to yell.” She screeched at me like an angry banshee. I swallowed thickly. Did she realize how fucking beautiful she was? I tucked a piece of hair behind her ear and teased, “I hope this isn’t your first meal of the day.” Gemma rolled her eyes before stuffing another chunk of meat in her mouth. “Ahem,” our visitor cleared his th
The Alpha's Obsession 14 - The Wicked and the Weak
~Gemma~ I came into awareness with a slight feeling of distortion. Ugh! Of course the goddess would leave me smack in the middle of a spectacle. I did my part, vessel. I played your champion. Her voice rippled through my conscience. I smirked. The goddess was ever practical. “Gems? You in there? Are you really laughing right now?” Tyson nudged me. "Are you really naked right now? What do wolves have against clothing?" I ruffled his hair and avoided looking at the elephant in the room. That's right. His cock. He shruggrued with a rueful grin. "I had wolfy things to do. " “Thank the gods you are well.” Alpha Devlin interrupted our conversation, pulling me into a rib-crushing hug. “Okay. I’m okay.” I patted his shoulder and tried to disengage from his embrace. Everyone was staring. Again. “Do you think now is an appropriate time to proceed?” Corbin inquired. His expression was severe, his face lined with stress. He reminded me of the grave circumstances at hand. “I suppose
The Alpha's Obsession 15 - Payback
~Alpha Devlin~ I showered to wash all evidence of gore away. I couldn’t approach Gemma in anything but pristine condition. She deserved that. My selfish actions resulted in Gemma getting hurt. I had to acknowledge she was put at risk far too often. Tyson wore a robe covered in light florals. “Well, at least I don’t have to look at your dick. The night is turning in a positive direction.” I smirked. Tyson laughed. “Check your language, bro! There are children present!” He nodded his head to the side. Gemma and the false witch sat together, talking quietly. “What the fuck is she doing here!” I yelled, not caring if I woke the entire packhouse. I didn’t want that bitch near Gemma or my brother at the moment. Gemma got off the couch and walked over to us. “Alpha Devlin, everything okay?” Her gaze wandered over my face. “No, Gemma. Everything is not okay. I don’t want you making friends with her.” I pointed at the cowering girl across the room. “Not after what she did.” Her face s
The Alpha's Obsession 16 - Secret Weapon
~Gemma~ Sounds of my own screaming tore me from sleep. My heart thudded in my chest. I tasted the taint of the wicked witch and her twisted alpha. Shit! Weeks later I still woke with night terrors. My tank top was drenched with sweat and clung to my body. Gross. I rolled over to look at the alarm clock and groaned. Usually if I was up at three am, it was because I never went to bed. Fat Kitty cuddled me, giving me his own special flavor of love. I wished it was enough. Love never saved me from a damn thing. Sorry if that hard truth made me out to be a heartless hag. Sleep evaded me, refused to entertain my pleas for a comeback. I tried. I tried so hard. Some days were rougher than others. “Gems? Do you need me?” Alpha Devlin’s voice cut through the misery that was my life. His sleepy voice carried through the distance. Of course he never had trouble with sleep. And most unforgivable, he was a morning person. “Gemma? I know you're awake. Stop avoiding me.” I gritted my teeth. Ever
The Alpha's Obsession 17 - Knock, Knock
~Alpha Devlin~ Damp hair clung to my forehead. Since sleep refused to come, I decided to work off some steam. An hour of lifting weights and abusing my body provided no comfort. Might as well shower and let go of the idea of rest. “Knock, knock.” A female voice called out, along with a light rapping on my door. Who the hell is here at this hour? “Go away!” “Devie, let me in. I know you’re in there.” I silently cursed, remaining quiet on the chance she would go away. “Don’t act like this. Let me in.” Her nails clacked on the door frame. “Or I will cause a scene.” Fuck this! I swung the door open and pulled her inside. “It is Alpha Devlin to you. Don’t forget your place.” I ignored her pouty look and continued. “Now what do you want? It’s late.” “Technically, it’s early.” Tasha nibbled on her bottom lip. “I miss you. And I know you miss me.” I know it was rude. I didn’t give a shit, dismissing her claim with an arrogant wave of my hand. “I explained very clearly where we stood.
The Alpha's Obsession 18 - Good Trouble
~Gemma~ “I miss you so much.” I reached for the beautiful man with such longing. Imagine trying to touch a treasure you had no business coveting. He stared at me with those empty, soulless eyes. “Why won’t you come to me?” “I’m sorry! I can’t!” I explained. Flames danced in his eyes. “Come to me!” His hand caressed my face. I woke trembling and confused. Shit! I dreamed of him again, of Damon, my former vampire lover. This dream marked the third in the past week. My night terrors about the tainted witch and her alpha finally stopped. And now this fresh hell. It had only been a few months and I still missed him. Besides the physical connection, I missed his company and our stimulating conversations. I know it may be hard to believe, but we were friends before lovers. I sighed and pulled the blankets up to my neck. Somewhere in the hidden corners of his mind, did he miss me? Unlike with Alpha Devlin, Damon and I had no sordid past constantly getting in our way. Well, that was unt
The Alpha's Obsession 19 - Death Wish
~Gemma~ “Good trouble?” I giggled like some virginal school girl. Oh, wait. I was in the middle of a crisis. I frowned at my would-be aggressors. “I’ve got this under control.” Damon bowed, very formal. “I am certain that is the truth. However, it is my duty and right to protect this neighborhood. Along with its beautiful occupants.” His smile turned cruel as he faced the two dead men walking. “Gentlemen, the lady is a special friend of mine. I take offense to anyone attempting to harass or harm her.” A cool wind swept by. Damon’s eyes burned red. Crap! Not good. He barely contained his vampy powers. Alex spoke first, sly smile plastered on his face, “We invited the lady for some fun. She declined. We were merely escorting her safely to her vehicle.” “From my vantage point, your actions headed in a different direction.” Damon snarled. “You propositioned the lady. She turned you down. And it appeared that you were both sore losers, accepting no for an answer. Tell me,” flames dance
The Alpha's Obsession 20 - Three Musketeers
~Sammie~ Fucking ladies’ night! It dutifully rolled around every other week without fail! Tonight, Megan, Gemma, and I sat in a circle on the floor in Gemma’s front room. Macy bowed out. Chicken-shit little bitch. “Are you sure this is a thing?” I wasn’t convinced. I gestured to us grown ass women dressed in our pajamas. “Definitely. I watched it on 13 Going on 30!” Megan squealed with excitement, much to my horror. “She was a 13 year old girl! Trapped in a 30 year old body!” I shot back. Megan stuck out her tongue and continued her conversation with Gemma. I knew it! The damn night was doomed to drag on. The expression on Gemma’s face did nothing to alleviate my stress. Nope! I was not experiencing FOMO. More like dread. I glanced at the clock, wondering when it would be socially acceptable to fall into slumber at this slumber party. “Never mind all that.” Gemma interrupted. “Are we doing the Pitch Perfects, or The Three Musketeers?” Lucky for us, she didn’t suggest any of
