When we arrived at the restaurant, we slowly made our way inside and saw that it was packed full with graduates and their friends and families who were also celebrating. I was glad that we had made reservations. The hostess quickly showed us to our table and we each took our seats. We enjoyed our lunch meal. Scott and I were having a discussion about our future plans with our family, but my heart wasn't in it, due to the uncertainty which surrounded me. The waitress had just come over to see if we wanted to order dessert, when suddenly the restaurant doors opened and they walked in. 

A group of inhumanely tall men walked into the restaurant. The waitress immediately dropped her eyes to the ground, not wanting to catch their gaze. The buzz of excitement which had consumed the restaurant only moments ago came to a halt, and suddenly it was so quiet in the restaurant, you could have heard a pin drop. It was obvious to me that everyone in the restaurant was scared of the group of people who had just made their way into the restaurant. 

I openly stared at the tall beasts walking past our table. When green eyes locked with mine, I suddenly felt frozen, my eyes suddenly widening like a deer caught in the headlights. 

It was him! The Alpha!

Alpha Cole's eyes flashed black, and a growl rumbled in his chest. In an instant my eyes found the floor. Keeping eye contact angered them. The wolves within them saw eye contact as a challenge. I didn't want my big day ruined by an egotistical Alpha, who thought I was challenging his authority. 

Alpha Cole let out a grunt as he passed our table heading towards the back corner of the room. I watched his bulky back muscles, as they flexed through his white long sleeved button up shirt. He had the sleeves of his shirt folded a quarter of the way up his muscular arms. A special table sat empty and awaiting their arrival. I noted that the tables position was set up so that the wolves could see the entire restaurant, their were no blind spots. I noticed that when they reached their table, Alpha Cole sat down first, and once he was seated, the rest of the group took their seats. I quickly averted my eyes once more, but a moment later I accidentally made eye contact with Alpha Cole once more. Our waitress brought my attention back to her with a quiet voice.

"Any dessert?" she asked in a hushed tone as her eyes wandered to each of us.

"Actually, we will just take the check please," my father replied.

The waitress quickly hurried off to fetch the check for my father, and I noticed she kept her eyes on the floor as she did so. The restaurants atmosphere had shifted quite dramatically. Everyone seemed to be uncomfortable with the beasts who were seated nearby. My father paid for the meal, and made the waitress happy when he told her she could keep the change. It was a good tip for her, so I couldn't blame her for her obvious happiness. We all got up from our seats to leave, and unable to resist, I took another look at the beasts table. 

Alpha Cole's gaze locked with mine. I felt a cold shiver run down my spine. Alpha Cole had a scowl upon his face. His face was one I would never forget. His features screamed masculinity, top dog and power hungry. He had a five o' clock shadow lining his jaw, and it complimented his tanned complexion perfectly. He was hands down the most stunning man I had ever seen, he was gorgeous! But he was also a monster, and I had to remember that.

His eyes flashed black, and I knew in that moment that I had screwed up. He scowled at me once more. I was the last member of our group out of the door, and I quickly ran to my family. Jumping into our car, I softly shouted, "Dad, quick we need to go now, hurry!"

Without question, my father sped out of the parking lot, as my mother asked, "Lara? Are you okay? What happened?" 

As our car raced out of the parking lot and down the highway, Scott and I looked out of our back window, and we saw one of the giants, standing in the parking lot. He was watching as our car made a speedy getaway. He didn't bother to try and chase us down though, for which I was grateful.

I couldn't believe I had been so stupid. How could I have been so stupid?

When we pulled up at our cabin, I was surprised to see my aunt, and uncle, and Haven were already waiting for us in our front yard. 

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked, as soon as I got out of the car.

"We need to talk," my father said, as he looked at me and my mother and Scott. We all made our way inside in silence, and sat in the lounge room waiting to hear what my father had to say. 

"What's going on?" Scott asked after a few minutes, voicing my question.

"As you all know, tomorrow is the sacrifice," my uncle said. We all nodded. It was not something any of us could forget. "Well there is something we need to do," he said.

"If one of us gets chosen for the sacrifice, the family needs to get out of here. We cannot risk those beasts killing our family if we do something to anger them," Haven announced, surprising me along with my brother and my parents.

"She's right. Those beasts, they won't kill you if they are angry with you. They will want you to suffer. And what better way to do that then by killing the ones you love," my uncle explained.

"He's right," my father agreed. 

"So, where do we go?" my mother asked, "I mean, no matter where we go, we will still have to deal with those beasts." 

"We have a place where we can go," my uncle replied.

"You do realize we will be abandoning them, right?" Scott said, pointing to me and Haven."If one of them were to get chosen, we will be abandoning them."

"Use your head boy, they never come back, ever. So how can we be abandoning them, when if they get chosen, they are already lost to us forever," my uncle snapped.

"Scott, this has to happen," Haven whispered.

We all sat in the lounge room talking about the upcoming sacrifice, and their plans to leave town should Haven or I be sacrificed. Eventually the three of them left, and I made my way upstairs to bed, dreading what lay in store for me the following morning. 

Would I be sacrificed? Would Haven?

  • The Alphas Slave   Chapter 32

    Cole's POVI sat at my desk and watched in quiet fascination as Haven met my gaze in shock, and a look of panic filled her eyes. In a matter of seconds the pulse at the base of Haven's throat began to race like that of someone running from a predator. Well... I guess in a way, that was what I was to her. But still... she fascinated me in a way that no one ever had before. Haven quickly dropped her eyes, unable to hold my gaze any longer. "What had she been thinking?" I wondered, finding myself becoming more and more intrigued by her. "Clearly she hadn't been having any sexual thoughts, because if she had the smell of her arousal would be all over my office. So what had caused her to look so panicked?" Haven was unlike any girl I had ever met before, and I had met a lot of girls over the years. They had all been power hungry and wanting a title. But Haven wasn't like any of them. She was like a precious jewel. To me... she was definitely a one of a kind.Ever sinc

    I was in the kitchen cutting up a deer carcass for Cole's breakfast. The other girls we working around me, and talking quietly among themselves. I knew they were all wondering why I had been MIA the past few days. The fact that Cole hadn't said anything about the situation wasn't lost on me, neither was the fact that no one had mentioned Michelle around me.I finished loading up the platter with raw meat before setting the knife down on the bench. I made my way over to the kitchen sink and washed and dried my hands. When I was done, I walked back over to my workspace and picked up the tray of raw meat that I was to serve to Cole for his breakfast. Carrying the tray, I made my way over to where Heidi was waiting with a few of the other slave girls. They were standing near the door, and waiting to enter the dining room so they could serve the werewolves.As we stood there in the doorway with them, I felt Reign pacing back and forth inside my head. She was anxious a

    Over the last few days I had stayed in my room. I kept the door locked, and I just stayed on my bed. I was driving myself crazy wondering if Cole had screwed Michelle. Between my own thoughts racing through my head on a loop, and Reigns own questions about Cole and Michelle, I think it was safe to say we were almost ready to be medicated and institutionalized.My thoughts had consumed me to the point that even though I hadn't eaten anything over the past few days, I wasn't feeling hungry. I was too consumed with trying to wrap my head around the contents of Cole's note.When I had first locked myself in my room, I had fully intended to go upstairs to help the girls serve the meals. But when the time had come, I just couldn't bring myself to leave the safety of my bedroom. Over the past several days, the only time that I had left my room was to use the bathroom.I knew after I had missed the first meal that there was a chance that I would be pun

  • The Alphas Slave   Chapter 29

    Alpha Cole's POVI watched Haven closely as I memorized every tiny detail about her. Every shiver, every sharp intake of breath, the look in her eyes that showed me she wanted me, and the smell of her arousal. I know that if I took her right here on my office desk, she would welcome it. She wanted me as much as I wanted her. There was no doubt in my mind. But I couldn't take her, not yet. There were some things I needed to take care of first. A knock sounded on my office door, and I could have strangled whoever had chosen that moment to interrupt us."Come in," I called out. The door opened and Michelle strutted into my office like she owned the place.'Well, well, well, this meeting was long overdue,' I thought in amusement, as I watched her come to a stop in front of my desk."What do you want Michelle?" I asked, doing everything I could to mask my annoyance at her interruption of my time with Haven."Alpha, I thought I could he

    I was annoyed when the door opened, and Michelle walked into the office. She made her way into the office, and came to a stop in front of Cole's solid timber desk."Michelle, what do you want?" Cole asked, glancing at her."Alpha, I thought I could help you to let off some steam," she murmured, while licking her lips.'Talk about eating a man alive,' Reign snarled.Alpha Cole got up from his chair and made his way past me, walking over to where Michelle was standing. He placed his hands on either side of her face, tilting her head back so that her eyes were on his."Get out," he bit out.'Yes! You tell that hussy! Who the hell does she think she is?' Reign snarled."Get out!" Alpha Cole bit out again, looking over at me.'He chose that hussy over us? What the fuck?' Reign gasped, shocked by this sudden turn of events.Michelle smirked at me as I made my way out of the room. Once I was out of Alpha

    Cole snarled, causing me to shiver. He scared me, but excited me in more ways then one. Swiftly he grabbed me, tugging me forward and causing me to lose my balance. He gripped my chin, forcibly tilting my head back so that my eyes met his. My gaze met his, and I could see the stern look in his eyes. A shiver of fright made its way down my spine, and I could see that if he was angered this much by my little show of defiance, he would certainly kill me if I provoked him.Suddenly Cole growled a deep growl, showing me his disapproval. I knew that he could feel the waves of emotion that were making their way through me. It was clear to me that he was fed up with my lack of obedience and my constant defiance. It was obvious that I was not what he had been expecting. It had been clear to me from the moment we had first met.I was standing there when a power unlike anything I had ever experienced before in my life hit me. It was coming from Cole. I let out a whimper as
