The Alpha's Obsession 50 - In the Now
~Gemma~ The next day I regretted everything. Go figure. I regretted calling upon the goddess. I regretted taking Sammie and the crew to Fame. I regretted how I handled what was probably my last interaction with my vampire. Fuck! My fate was never to be anyone’s number one. I played the doormat to my guy’s next move or his side chick. No. I didn’t waste effort with tears. I drank coffee and smothered Fat Kitty with love and attention. Since my day off yesterday got hijacked, I took liberties today. I slept in. I planned on taking a bath and watching a sappy rom-com. After my bath, I painted my nails a pretty pink while watching a movie. When someone knocked on my door, I ignored it. Probably a delivery due to my online shopping habit. When the knocking persisted, I reluctantly got up. “Holy shit! What are you doing here?” Kieran’s smug smile greeted me. He wore stylish jeans and a plain white teeshirt. While deceptive in it’s simplicity, the outfit reeked of designer labels.
The Alpha's Obsession 51 - A Bad Day
~Gemma~ ‘Gemma?’ Hell no! His timing was fucking terrible as usual. Alpha Devlin could go suck an egg! ‘I know you’re there. Where else would you be? We have another meeting this afternoon. I would appreciate you being there.’ ‘No!’ ‘I know you are upset about your day off…’ ‘Go the fuck away! I am busy!’ “He ruins everything!” I complained. Miserable! That’s what the fuck my life was. The lyrics to that one song came to mind, about it being a bad day but not a bad life. Lies! What about when the bad days piled up and overwhelmed the good ones? “I take it the mood is gone?” Kieran asked. I hugged my knees. What the fuck was I going to do? All indicators said I lost Damon. Alpha Devlin and I would never get along. The goddess ruined my life one favor at a time. I covered my face with my hands. “What’s going on? Talk to me.” He put an arm around me. I let him pull me into a hug. “He’s not going to accept me ignoring him. Alpha Devlin will pester until he gets whatever he wan
The Alpha's Obsession 52 - Shitshow
~Alpha Devlin~ “You’re losing your fucking shit, bro!” Tyson growled at me. “You have to be better than this! Disrespecting Gemma? Me?” I knocked shit off my desk in one sweep of my hand. “I do not answer to anyone! This is my goddamn pack!” Tyson crossed his arms, grim look on his face. “Then you can rule it all by yourself! Do you understand that Gemma is leaving? You pushed her out! And I can be alpha of my own pack. So far, we’ve both stayed out of love and devotion to you. Take away that, and what are you left with?” I tangled a hand in my hair, my beast a furious mess. He had been near uncontrollable lately. “Stop the bullshit! I know you and Gemma are fucking behind my back!” “Shows what you fucking know!” His cruel laughter stung. “I tried many times to hit that, okay? But no. Gemma flatly refused. My suggestion is to keep your mouth shut or you run the risk of sounding like an ignorant asshole.” Tyson walked out of my office without a backwards glance. Fuck. I took a de
The Alpha's Obsession 53 - Peaches
~Gemma~ As far as crappy days went, today was pretty fucking craptastic. I could not believe I let Sammie talk me into coming out. Kieran would be there. There was that at least. I took an uber to the bar, planning on getting completely hammered. I walked into The Sing bar alone and feeling more than a little insecure. At least we were out of the red district. However, the zoning still allowed for loose liquor rules. Relief washed over me as Sammie waived me down. She hugged me, tight. “Careful, wolf girl! You are too strong for all that enthusiasm!” I laughed in her hair. “Are you already smashed? And without me?” “Stop whining and catch up! Here, drink this.” She handed me a fruity looking drink. “Great! Just what I wanted! Fruit salad!” I ignored the straw and chugged. Goddess, that tasted great. Kieran walked up to me. “Oh! Hey! How are you?” I asked him. He took my glass and set it on the table. Then, he grabbed me and kissed me senseless. I went with it because why not?
The Alpha's Obsession 54 - Shattered Dreams
~Alpha Devlin~ I lost my fucking mind! I had to watch as they practically had sex on the dance floor. And then that fucking proposal? That shit came out of nowhere! I crushed the glass in my hand. Tyson eyed me but said nothing. He already had a great fucking idea what was going on in my head. As the newly engaged couple made their way through the crowd, I intercepted them. I had some shit to say. As I overheard the alpha’s son try to solicit my damn Gamma, I had enough. “Are you fucking trying to poach all my members?” My tone came out rougher than I intended. Too fucking bad. My wolf paced, agitated over the thought of losing Gemma. Fuck! How did shit end up exactly the opposite of how they were supposed to? My eyes blazed as Kieran pawed Gemma in front of me. “Princess, would you please excuse us for a moment? There are some things I’d like to say to Alpha Devlin in private.” Kieran spoke in her ear. “Why bother?” I said through gritted teeth. “She should stay to hear what I
The Alpha's Obsession 55 - Childhood Fantasies
~Gemma~ I attempted to keep my emotions out of it. Neither of them made it easy. Ha! The former love of my life had knocked up a woman who was my complete opposite. She might have wrecked the image with the ugly pout on her face. Yet I could tell she put effort into her appearance. The leggy blonde wore a dress that highlighted all her ample features. She had curled her hair to perfection. Her makeup was expertly applied to top it off. Damn. Alpha Devlin put effort into his appearance as well. He wore his trademark jeans and teeshirt. His deceptively simple outfit highlighted all his features as well. His shirt clung to his muscled torso. He had neatly styled his hair as well. Actually, they made a cute as hell couple. Yes. That observation depressed me all the way down to my core. This stranger had the future that was supposed to be mine at one point. A future the younger me badly wanted. 'Fuck, Gemma! Can we circle back to all this later?' Omigosh! I shut down our mental path.
The Alpha's Obsession 56 - Witch and Her Wolf
~Gemma~ I abandoned my fucked up love triangle situation for a larger damn crisis. I grabbed both Kylie’s hands, pretending to laugh and chat. “Kylie! Don’t change your behavior! Reach out to Kieran and your father right now! Tell them our location. Tell them we are potentially in danger. There is a witch and two rogues closing in on us.” “W-what?” “Do what I say. Now!” I faked a smile, popping another piece of cheese in my mouth. “Done! Kieran is ordering us to get in the car and leave!” I shook my head. “We’ll never make it! Shift right now and run away.” “I can’t! I’m half-human and have no wolf.” Shit! I slipped the keys into her hand. “Just in case. If I tell you to run, haul ass to the car and go.” ‘Dev! Where the fuck are you?’ ‘Be there soon. Do not engage!’ Easy for him to say when the trio so obviously wanted our attention. The witch appeared to be in her thirties. I didn’t recognize her. “Hello there! I think we have something you want.” She called out to me.
The Alpha's Obsession 57 - False Mate
~Alpha Devlin~ The situation was fucked. From the moment Gemma told me to stay away, I realized the gravity of the situation. Of course, I didn’t listen. This was my pack. I was the damn alpha. Come what may, I would see the situation to finality. I couldn’t bear the idea of Gemma facing this alone. I eyed her, standing tall and proud in the face of our dire circumstances. That’s my girl. The witch addressed me. “Alpha, since your witch won’t listen to reason, I will appeal to you. Hand over the witch and we will leave peacefully.” “No fucking way!” I growled. My wolf trembled with impatience to be released. He itched to kill the threat at hand. Gemma’s hand shot out and grabbed mine, warning me to keep my composure. The witch stepped closer to us. “I haven’t yet begun to coerce you. I promise things can get a lot more interesting.” She held out her hand to the black wolf at her side. “Do you feel that?” Gemma spoke quietly. “There is alpha power rolling off that wolf.” N
