I am feeling a lot better. headache is mostly gone and the dizzyness as well. this is the last chapter of this month, so starting tomorrow I will try to write for both stories again. I am holding off on writing for the Stolen Alpha and I will not apply for a contract until I am almost finished with this one.
Kate’s povI don’t want to make this whole thing about me. It’s not. I know it’s not about me. But ever since Sierra became the beta and Asher the alpha, I have been waiting for my chance to shine. It’s stupid. I know, but everyone always assumed I would do something great. People call me the smartest person they know, which is nice and all, but it only adds more pressure to be great. And my life right now is average.I sometimes get used like a human wiki-pedia, but other than that, I’m a mother, a wife, and a sister. I have spent most of my time caring for Isaac and worrying about Leia. I have studied for years and haven't used that knowledge much.When Nora was out there, killing people, I loved playing detective. I didn't like the part where she took me and almost killed me, but finding answers and solving puzzles is something I really like to do. And I'm good at it. I like being Sherlock Holmes, like Leia says.And I hate myself for saying this, but I think this is my chance to be
Asher’s pov"Okay, don’t get mad." Leia started."That’s not a good way to start a conversation, princess." I replied, grabbing her by her waist.Leia squealed and swatted my hand away. We had gotten a lot closer over the years. I didn’t know if I had earned her forgiveness, but she had given it to me anyway. She had given me everything. Leia and I were a team again, and I knew it was thanks to her. She had enough reasons to reject me back then, yet she stuck with me."Okay, so I was thinking and I sort of forgot this. I mean, it’s been five fucking years, and you can’t expect me to memorize everything. You know, I did have a lot going on at the time. It was just after the boys' first birthday party, and, -""Just tell me; you know I don’t get mad that easily anymore."Leia scoffed, "Excuse me? You, Asher? Asher, the Iron Alpha. Last time we had a fucking lead, you wanted to kill the guy."Maggie and Rain had found a known associate of Alpha Braxton, and I had flown out and listened in
Leia’s povIt took a fucking year for me to truly forgive Asher. There was therapy and a lot of angry fucking sex. Honestly, if Asher and I have sex, I feel closer to him, and if we don’t, I feel a lot of fucking distance. Maybe it’s a hormone thing or something; Reina tried to explain it, but I zoned out after she started using words like "oxycontin" and "neurotransmitters." Maybe she should be Kat’s fucking wolf; they’d get along fine.But we’re good now. I mean, things could be fucking better, but we have our boys and we have each other. The only thing we need now is to find our girls and kill those fuckers who took them."Mom, do we have to stay with Grandpa Os? Can’t we go to Grandpa Cy?" Argo asked.Airk shook his head, "Grandpa Os is fun too. And grandma Lily said she would paint with me.""But grandpa Cy said he would let me ride the horses. And he’s funny." Argo replied."We can always split you up," I suggested, but both boys shook their heads."No, mom." Both said it simulta
Maggie’s povIt wasn’t easy living this double life. I didn’t have many real friends, and I had to pretend to be someone I wasn’t. But it was fun. I was living a life like a damn spy. I was a housewife and a mom, but at the same time I was tracking and searching for Aeryn and Elora.I made friends in high places, and I was talking to the right parents when I picked up my kids.No, I didn’t have kids to use in our mission, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t use these opportunities. We started as members of a small neutral pack, and as Rain’s business grew, we moved to another pack. That’s when I became pregnant with our first. A girl called Aura Ariel Meadow, after my mom and Rain’s mom. She was almost four now and had just started school. My youngest just turned two; he is named Bodhi Troy Chris, because we couldn’t leave our dads out.I call Rishi and Zuri almost daily and facetime them instantly, but I have people here I hang out with. It’s not real, though. They can never know the real
Rain’s povI hope this is the beginning of the end. I love how well the business is doing, and I am surprised at how much I love being a boss, since I am not one at home. I would rather follow Maggie’s lead."Because it turns you on," my wolf Ewan joked.Even after all these years, she did manage to turn me on. Especially when she told me what to do in the bedroom. But it wasn’t just that; it was nice not to have to think about certain things and to let Maggie handle them. Like this plan. She knew what needed to be done, and all I had to do was follow her plan. It made me less nervous knowing she was in charge.I drove Alpha Braxton to the location that Maggie had told me to go, a warehouse that we sometimes used close to the border. That’s the only thing I had to do: get him there, and Alpha Asher and Luna Leia would do the rest.One down and one to go. Or maybe two to go, because I had scored a meeting with the Shadow Mountain pack, the pack Marco originally belonged to. If we could
Asher’s pov"You?!" Alpha Braxton roared, and before he could say more, I had used the spray on him. I would much rather just start beating him up, but we had to get him out of here, or his death could be tied to Maggie and Rain.Maggie would tell his Luna that Alpha Braxton had to leave urgently. That Rain offered his car for Alpha Braxton to use. We were actually the ones who would use the car, and we would leave it in a ditch somewhere on the road to Alpha Braxton’s pack. Then we’d get in another car and get Alpha Braxton back home.That’s why Leia had come. I had to be so damn patient and wait for my chance to kill this bastard. Carrying him from the warehouse to the car, then from that car to another, seeing his face, so ready to be beaten, and being unable to touch him. It was driving me crazy.The only thing that calmed me down was Leia, who, ironically, was the only one who actually kicked Alpha Braxton in the face while he was knocked out on the floor."What?" she had said. "Y
Maggie’s povWe were halfway there when Tallulah was contacted. She wasn’t contacted through mindlink, which would have been the obvious option, but by phone."No, he hasn’t made contact with me. Let me try." She said, sounding nervous."No, I can’t reach Alpha Braxton."The person on the other end was talking, and I could see Tallulah was starting to get more nervous by the second."He said he needed to go, and he borrowed Rain’s car. I am currently being driven back home."…"No." she said, sounding scared. "I don’t know anything, sir. I haven’t felt anything either."…"Okay, I will let you know if anything changes." Tallulah finally said and she hung up.She turned to me and looked pale as a ghost. "Something happened with Alpha Braxton on the way back. They can’t reach him. A search party will be sent, but is it possible for you to drive faster?""No problem," I said, hitting the gas.She looked out the window and said, "I need to get my girls out, just in case.""Your girls?" I a
Tallulah’s pov"We need to go now." I whispered as I got all my kids out of their beds. My oldest helped me get the younger one ready. Braxton Junior, or as I call him, "Brax," looked at me with concern. He used to be so sweet, but lately he has become more distant. I think it’s because of Dolores' training. Ever since he turned ten, he has been separated from the rest as part of his training to become the next Alpha.Dolores…. I can’t believe I actually killed her. But I had to save my babies. She only cared about money, and she never showed any interest in the girls. I knew that all the girls were good for, in the eyes of Alpha Braxton, and Dolores was marrying an ally or prospective ally. I hoped they would find their true mate before that; not even their father could go against that.But now he was dead, and Dolores was too, and I wasn’t done protecting my kids. I needed to get them out, because if the pack found out what I did, I would surely be killed, and my children would be ra
