The Alpha's Redeemer Chapter 22: Meeting Hugo
By the time we arrive at our destination, be that the rogue camp or my old pack is yet to be seen. Literally, since I’m still sitting blind. They pressed my back against rocks and my silver chained hands dangle above my head. Blood slowly drips down the back of my neck from the sores along my wrist where the silver is burning through my skin. It’s been silent for a few hours. Not even the sound of shuffling has hit my ear. Until right now. A soft rustling comes from my left, and I brace myself for the person who is coming. When Adriana and Axel had been held and tortured for weeks, I didn’t even want to think about how it had been. Adriana, still a partially paralyzed human with severe dependence on pain meds to survive her injury, cold and hungry and hurt because of me. Fate must have a twisted sense of humor for me to find myself in a way similar to hers nearly a year ago.The only difference between her kidnapping and torture is that it was directly correlated with me. They took h
The Alpha's Redeemer Chapter 23: Memories
**Trigger Warning** Retelling of finding someone after suicide. “You are too tough on him” My mother’s voice echoes through the hallway. My father’s laugh booms, filling me with more hatred. I inch closer to the door, taking care to make sure they can’t smell the blood on my back from my most recent beating.“I’m not raising a daughter, Melody. I am raising a warrior. Warriors are tough.”“He is thirteen! He isn’t a warrior, he is a boy.”“He is what I say he is.” he sounds bored with her now.“He is my son and I get a say in how he is raised.”A clapping sound fills the air. “And congratulations, you have raised a pansy-ass little bitch who cries to his mommy when daddy looks at him sideways.”“YOU BEAT HIM WITH A SILVER CHAIN!” she screams at him.“Did you ever think that maybe it’s not just a lesson for him, but for you, too?” I can hear the smile in his voice. The glee in his sick ‘Gotcha’ moment. “W-what?” she stutters out, and I know my father is about to break my mother’s hea
The Alpha's Redeemer Chapter 24: Caught sneaking
~Adriana POV~ “On a scale of one to ten, how pissed do you think Axel will be when he realizes–” Maggie says before being cut off. “That my mate snuck off into the woods to leave ahead of me and the rest of our warriors?” Axel’s voice asks from the cover of the trees to our right. Maggie stops walking and closes her eyes tightly, uttering a curse word. He stalks closer, his hands in his pocket, his face a wall of unreadable stone. “Uh…” I say, looking at the two of them as Axel stops right in front of Maggie, looking down at her. “I’d say Axel is about a ten out of ten. Wouldn’t you agree, Adriana?” He refers to himself as the third person and Maggie’s body sags in defeat. I choose to ignore Axel’s question and check out the treetops. “You wouldn’t let me come.” She reminds him. “Someone needs to stay with Penny.” “And it needs to be me?” Maggie scoffs. “I would prefer it to be, yes.” Axel’s hands come out and he softly strokes his fingers through her blonde curly locks. She sm
The Alpha's Redeemer Chapter 25: Punishment
~ Liam POV~The metallic clanging of the cell door stirs me from my restless slumber and I tilt my chin, trying to rely on my sense of hearing and smell to figure out who is standing in front of me. It’s a futile attempt as everything smells of dingy dungeon and the scurrying rats are making it growingly more difficult to focus. Hugo has been in every day for the past three days, doing his best to help apply the medication to my eyes and wrists. Throughout my stay down here, my silver chains were removed from my wrist and they placed a reinforced iron chain on my ankle, giving me more space to roam, which is better than being stuck pissing my pants on the ground. I press into the wall, using it to help lift myself from the ground. I tetter a little before putting my hand on the cool stone to steady myself.“Are you going to stand in silence in the dark, or are you going to speak eventually?” I ask “Have you tried to open your eyes at all?” Marc’s voice echoes through the cell, and I
The Alpha's Redeemer Chapter 26: Healing
Marc drags me for a short period, forcing me up what feels like wooden stairs before he knocks on a door. It creaks open and someone grunts before my chains are pulled taut again and I’m forced to amble forward. I glance off the doorjamb with a pained grunt before being roughly solved down onto the cool surface of a metal chair. “Have you been feeding him?” A female voice asks as she pokes at me with what I assume is her finger. “It’s only been two days, Uma,” Marc says, not even bothering to hide how annoyed he is. “Two days of no food is two days of slow healing, Alpha.”“Just shut up and fix him.”“I’m going to need to recoup the two days I lost with you not feeding him.” She snaps.“You have one. Focus on his eyes. They are really the only thing I care about.” He mutters and the door slams behind him. I can hear Uma sigh at my ear as her hands cup my face, tilting my chin this way and that way. She mutters to herself and walks away. The sound of clanging pots and pans echo thr
The Alpha's Redeemer Chapter 27: Finding Liam
~Adriana~-Are you sure he isn’t there?- I verify with Axel through the mind link.-No, I’m not sure. But we have searched the dungeons and everywhere around and have found nothing. That doesn’t mean he isn’t here- -So you have nothing then- I sass at him and I can almost feel his eye roll.-How is your search going?- Axel asks, tossing it back in my face that I am also turning up nothing. -We have located the old alpha rogue camp, but they have stamped it out. Looks like it’s been a day or two since they left-- Keep looking for them- He instructs before ending the mind link. The cool thing about Axel being out with us is that he is still within the limits of the mind link. It makes it so much easier knowing he can speak to me immediately if they find any sign of Liam. “What’d he say?” Abe asks. I give him a side glance and look at the fire in front of us. It’s creepy as shit looking at Axel’s identical twin brother. The only discernible feature between the two of them is Axel’s
The Alpha's Redeemer Chapter 28: Surprise!
Billy’s eyes keep flicking over to Abe, who is sleeping next to the fire, refusing to let any of us look at his injury. Bea hovers close. Her fingernails are the current victim of her nerves. After almost losing her mom last year in the very fight that freed me and Axel, she struggles with the stress of people being injured.It’s one of the many reasons Axel placed her and Billy on recruitment duty finding wandering species who may need a home to bring back to the Freakshow. She can’t seem to calm herself when people are injured. “Bea, look at me,” Billy calls to her with a soothing voice. Her teary eyes find him and he sighs heavily. “I’m okay.”Bea walks over to where Billy and I are as I finish cleaning up the cut across his stomach. In the shifter community it’s uncommon to use human medicine on injuries but Sari, being a human doctor before Axel changed her, has implemented some things such as stitches, to help speed the healing process. Billy and I both were taught the stitchi
The Alpha's Redeemer Chapter 29: Ling-chi
~Liam POV~The door slams open to the tiny cabin, and I am jolted from a painful slumber. I can hear Uma’s pleading voice from the kitchen as I blink away the fog and crust around my eyes. My body feels better than it has in days. My muscles no longer feel like they are made of lead and my mind feels clear as if the wolfsbane has been pulled from my body. I focus on my hearing, tuning in to the voices in the kitchen.“I told you I needed two days to have him healthy enough to withstand—”“Shut up,” Marc says, sounding annoyed. “You think I give a flying fuck if he is healthy enough to withstand it?”Silence falls over them.“You need him alive when you hand him off. Or else they will come for the pack.” Uma finally says.“Where is he?” Marc asks, sounding bored with her before his footsteps grow louder coming out of the tiny living room where I am seated on the couch.“Marcus,” I say, greeting him. His nose scrunches, and he looks me over as though I’ve mutated into some strange being
