The Alpha's Redeemer Chapter 40: He chose you
The door pushes open and I jump up, running my clammy hands down my pant legs. The sight of the nurse has my heart in my throat and my mouth dry. What if she is coming to tell me he is gone? Or worse, that there is nothing they can do and I have to watch him wither away? She smiles at me and ambles across the large room.“You are the patient’s wife?” She asks me.“Yes.” My voice wavers on just one word. “Wonderful. I have an update about your spouse.”“Is he going to survive?” I whisper, the tears leaking down the sides of my face as cold fear grips me. “Mr. Jones is still in surgery. But they are closing him up as we speak.” All I can do is nod and hold my stomach. They are closing him up. Maybe it’s how the words sound or it could be the thought of him being cut open on a table, but the visual makes me nauseous.“But he is going to be okay?” I ask hopefully, and she frowns.“I’m sorry Ms. Jones. That’s not for me to say. I just wanted to keep you updated on his progress. Your husb
The Alpha's Redeemer Chapter 41: Home again
“Don’t do that!” I hiss at Liam as he winces, pulling the door open to his hospital room. A week of him being stuck in his room is driving him crazy. Thankfully, they gave me the green light to take Liam back to the pack and care for him there. He sighs heavily as I gently ease him out of the way so I can reach the door. His hands snake around my waist with a satisfied groan. Liam’s hands land protectively over my belly as if he is trying to hold our baby. He has had his hands on me nonstop since he woke up six days ago. He insisted I sleep in the bed with him every night. When my hands weren’t occupied doing other things, they were in his. Even when the medication he was on made him pass out. “We need to go” I release a breath of air and lean into his shoulder, trying my best to keep my weight off his chest. Liam leans down and brushes his lips against my ear. “Okay. Take me home,” he whispers. I try to wipe the goofy grin on my face when I yank the door open, but I look over my s
The Alpha's Redeemer Chapter 42: Are you mad?
~Liam POV~I jerk upright, sharp pain in my chest and aches in my body, letting me know it’s time for my pain meds. Before I can even throw the covers off my sweaty body, there is a movement to my right and the light clicks on. The soft yellow tones of my bedside lamp flood the room and Adri is standing in front of me.With a sweet smile, she holds out a glass of water and my little white pills that offer me relief. I should thank her, and appreciate her willingness to take care of me, but my irrational anger wins. I snatch the pills from her swallowing them down with a gulp of water before handing them back. Adriana saunters over to the bathroom in nothing but her skimpy shorts and flimsy tank and I settle back in bed, hating this feeling. Uselessness is a new emotion for me and, combined with the overwhelming feeling of loneliness, the combination feels nearly fatal. It only seems to get worse by her waiting on me hand and foot. We have been back for almost two weeks and anytime I
The Alpha's Redeemer Chapter 43: A new wolf?
“Tell me everything,” Axel says, taking a seat and gripping a pen in his hand. Clearly, Adriana didn't have to wake him up. I regal him with the entire story and watch Adriana as she hears the full version for the first time. I tell them both how I believe that, though my mother started her own suicide, Marc was the one to finish it. No details are spared as I explain Marc’s reasons for hating me and wanting me dead, though I know this won’t help us solve anything but if I’m telling the story, I may as well tell the whale thing to the only two people willing enough to ask for it. “And you tried to get a hold of her?” he asks me, raising a brow. “Yes, multiple times,” I say, nodding. Axel looks like he is in deep thought before he leans back and steeples his hands. “But you got no response? Not even a sound?” Axel is asking. “Uh, there was a strange static noise,” I recall thinking deep on the matter. Axel frowns and shakes his head. “Static? Like an old tv?” Adriana asks.
The Alpha's Redeemer Chapter 44: You redeemed me
“So it was Uma?” Adriana asks, slumping into one of Axel’s overstuffed chairs. “But that doesn’t make sense. She saved him.” “She was forced.” Gwen explains over the phone line, “And then she was afraid to say anything. She hasn’t left her home since it happened.” I can feel Gwen’s distress over the situation. Which is understandable. This is Gwen’s first real Luna ask where she and her mate may have to be responsible for the punishment coming to their top healing due to circumstances none of them made. Marc had made them. He always loved fucking up people’s lives and here he is from the grave, doing it again. “Is she there?” I ask, remaining calm. Which feels like a feat. “She is,” Hugo says. My eyes snap to Adriana, who looks sick and conflicted as she rubs her tummy. “Uma, I want you to explain it to me.” I sigh. “Alpha Liam…” “I have told you before, I’m not an Alpha and now I am an omega. Refer to me as Liam,” I snap at her, hating how the word omega tastes on my tongue. “
The Alpha's Redeemer Chapter 45: Confronting a past
I walk with Adriana down to the training field. I may not be allowed to do anything strenuous, but I can go for walks and watch my mate be a kick-ass fighter, pregnant belly and all. It’s strange being human. I knew a lot would change, but what I didn’t expect was an eerie sense of peace without my wolf. Where I felt hollow for weeks, I’m now finding peace in the solace. There is no animalistic urge that is overcome with anger and irrational mood swings. I’m just more… human. There is no other way to explain it than that. It’s funny, when I lived in the city there were so many humans looking lost like they were missing something. Maybe it’s the mate bond or maybe it’s just the woman I get to have at my side, but I want for nothing. Okay, occasionally I miss what I had. I will always miss my wolf. He was a part of me, but the longer I am without him, the more I realize he was someone I tried to hide behind. It was so easy to shut myself off emotionally and let him take the reins. Adr
The Alpha's Redeemer Chapter 46: Real Liam
~Adriana POV~ “You chose this?” I ask, my hand running along the soft silky fabric of the gold dress. It’s stunning and simple. The sheath dress has wide straps and a square neckline, where it will be more snug on my breast. It tapers open around my true waist where chiffon falls in uneven strips over the lower half of the gown, giving it a royal punk princess look. “Is it… do you not like it?” Liam asks, sounding so unsure of himself. Liam, not being so confident in his actions, is so much more of a turn-on than he realizes. Where Liam used to be sure of everything and himself, he is floundering to do things for me just to be sweet and he is so worried he is doing it wrong. I spin to face him and put my arms out, calling him to me with a wry smile. “Liam,” I say as I wrap my arms around his neck. “It is the only dress in the world I will ever want to wear again. I love it, almost more than I love you.” He grins, a twinkle of satisfaction and a shimmer of pride as he wraps his ar
The Alpha's Redeemer Chapter 47: Accepting fate
~Liam POV~“Everything okay?” Axel asks as I walk into his office.“Yeah,” I say, not giving him much and he lifts a brow, waiting for more of a story. “She had a realization that made her emotions go a little haywire. She was running to find me when I found her.”“Pregnancy hormones?” He asks, and I shake my head. “I’m not so sure. She admitted she didn’t want me to accept a wolf from you. She wants me to be able to find myself without one before accepting.” I explain and he makes a surprised face. “I wasn’t aware you were reconsidering…”“I’m not sure I actually was.” I sigh and plop down in the seat across from him. “All I want is to do right by her. Everything I have done since meeting her has been trying to be better for her. Trying to deserve her and everything she brings to my life.”“You deserve her, Liam.” Axel tries to assure me, but all I can do is chuckle.“I really don’t. She deserves perfection. Adriana is the freaking sunshine and happiness. I was raised being told I a
