The Lycan's Acquisition Chapter Sixty-Two - Red Riding
Willow’s POVIt was good to see Natalie again, though Joan had a worried frown on her face.“Don’t be scared,” I said. “The Lycan King’s not all bad.”Hearing a cough behind me, I went on to introduce Niall. I made it quite clear we were to be mated just in case Nat was getting any ideas.“I’m here to oversee the packing up and transporting of goods and chattels.”“What he means is – ”“We have a new master. Can’t say I’m sorry.”“But what’s to become of this place?” Joan fretted.Niall shrugged. “A tourist attraction, maybe a hotel. Is there somewhere we can freshen up?”“Of course. I’ll organise some food for everyone. How many men have you brought with you?”That was the housekeeper, ever practical.My mate took it the wrong way. “That’s need to know.”I hated the look of fright on the older woman’s face.“Joan’s only trying to help. She’s not the enemy,” I said.“Good job you’re here or I’d probably get on the wrong side of everyone,” he muttered. “Apologies, she-wolf. Understanda
The Lycan's Acquisition Chapter Sixty-Three - The Rogue Threat
Willow’s POVWe had a traitor in our midst. It vexed me I didn’t have a clue who it was. Robert also looked shamefaced as if it was all his fault that intruders were trashing the place. Yet he’d stayed behind to do an almost impossible job prior to joining the Lycan pack. They’d been contained in one area but there were others barrelling in and we didn’t have the numbers to deal with them all. Or so I thought.I wanted to ask him about Sarah but didn’t like and now wasn’t either the time or the place.As it turned out, Lucy had been seeing a rogue on the sly. I couldn’t believe it at first; it was Nat who told me. By a strange coincidence it wasn’t Dean, Nathan or Benny but Felipe. What were the chances of me knowing him? I reckoned he was the best of a bad bunch. These loners sought allies and dropped them as easily as feral cats mated and moved on.Alvarez had allegedly murdered our father. I knew I wasn’t brave enough to seek revenge just yet, but maybe my mate would help.Then I b
The Lycan's Acquisition Chapter Sixty-Four - Sons
Adam’s POVRose wasn’t in labour long. I thought I heard her murmur, “Sam,” before her eyes closed.I couldn’t decide who was more proud, Erica or me. My sister was back on her feet again and assured me the delivery had gone fine. Mom looked in as well, briefly. She was constantly tired these days, some of her spirit having left with the giving of so many pints of blood.George had examined her and informed me she just needed time to recover. The mage had been threatened by my half-brother so this untypical weakness wasn’t down to either of them.I named the eldest one Zak. He would be my heir. It was too early to tell if they would be light haired and that didn’t bother me any more.Alpha Horace of all people sent his congratulations. He made no mention of a treaty and nor did I.The border guards patrolled regularly and reported back there were no breaches. A poacher intruded once but they sent him to his Maker, the human God and feasted on the rabbits he’d snared.I wasn’t pleased
The Lycan's Acquisition Chapter Sixty-Five - Looking Forward
Rose’s POVTimo backed me up.“She’s right, my king.”“As always. I’ll see to it.”I calmed down after that, making arrangements in my head. Lolo was in my thoughts but my priorities were here.“Put Connor next to Simone. As for that – thing, I want his remains as far away as possible.”I couldn’t help the bitterness after the damage he’d done to my sister.“Noted. Anything else, Rose?”I was grateful he wasn’t grinning otherwise I would have lost it in front of everyone and pummelling the Lycan King’s chest is a good way to get a girl killed.“Let me tell my sister when they return. I don’t want to spoil things.”“Does she know about Brandon?”I shook my head. “She will be disappointed he’s staying put. Have you heard anything about her, this sorceress?”Everyone was looking at me as if I’d lost my mind. I was usually so respectful in company.“Only her name. Hyacinth. You have something in common,” he pointed out.“Adam, what are you trying to say?”He didn’t answer and I worked it
The Lycan's Acquisition Chapter One - Sold
Rose’s POVThe night before my father did the unthinkable and sold us, I begged him to reconsider.“Alpha Horace won’t like it,” I argued. “Technically, we still belong to him.”“Face facts, we’re rogues, girl. Is it wrong for me to want a better life for you and your sister?”I sighed. “I suppose not.”We shared a three-way hug. I wished for the millionth time Mom was here and not buried in that forest glade.“I’ll miss you, Daddy,” Willow said, beginning to sob.He passed a shaking hand through her unruly brown curls. “Make me proud, both of you,” he whispered.“The least you can do is tell us about our new pack,” I said, unwilling to let him off the hook. “How come they’re so eager to accept us?”He hesitated, unwilling to spell it out.I knew the answer, of course. We were likely to become breeders. Though tiny, my sister had turned eighteen only last moon, and the village boys had begun to notice her. One in particular.I’d lost count of the times I’d exited the cottage through t
The Lycan's Acquisition Chapter Two - The Bargain
Rose’s POV To say I was shocked to see the woman reclining on a couch was an understatement. She sat up on seeing me and patted her updo as if drawing attention to it. I lowered my gaze. For all I knew this was his Luna. There was no mate bond between us, as I already knew. “It’s about time,” she said. But she wasn’t talking to me. “What’s your name, girl?” the Alpha asked. “Rosalie Harper,” I told him. It was the name on my birth certificate. “Ripe for the plucking, I’d say.” Though her words were hurtful, making me blush, I received no sense they were said with malice. This was what I had been expecting – and dreading – from the outset. Wasn’t she jealous? Maybe she was going to watch? “Don’t tease her, Simone,” he said. By now I was more confused than ever and vexed at my own thoughts. “I’ll leave you to it, Lew. Shopping awaits.” That was when I saw the designer handbag which she soon snatched up from the carpet and placed over her arm. “Just thought you’d want to hear
The Lycan's Acquisition Chapter Three - Betrayed
Rose’s POV The shock news that I would be away from my new pack for probably the cycle of a moon had left me reeling and I hadn’t yet recovered. “How will I communicate with you, Alpha?” He tossed me a pay-as-you-go cell phone. “Don’t lose it, Rosie,” he warned. “Or you’ll have to improvise. And I’ll want recompense.” “How?” I withheld his title deliberately to see what he would do. He didn’t even appear to notice. “Payment in kind,” he said. My cheeks reddened. “Alpha, I meant how will I contact you without the means?” “You’ll figure it out.” He told me the code to unlock the cell phone and suggested I memorise it. “Find a suitable hiding place,” he added, sounding bored. I stuffed it down the top of one stocking, unaware Alpha Lewis was watching. Some spy I was going to be. “Seen enough?” “Don’t be a brat,” he said. “One more thing, if you mess up, I’m sending Willow to a brothel.” My heart began beating much faster. “What?” I managed. He started to don his contact lens
The Lycan's Acquisition Chapter Four - Auctioned
Rose’s POVA bell rang somewhere and that was when I found out who was here by choice and who wasn’t. Thinking about it, I didn’t really fall into either camp.“Good luck keeping that gown intact, Red,” someone hissed. I saw it was my attacker, the would-be thief. “I’m telling you now, you won’t be allowed to keep it.”“So why did you want it so badly?” I asked.She didn’t bother to answer, just gave a snort of contempt and waltzed off.We were put into groups of six at random. Ours was going on stage second and I realised I was the only redhead among them. It was hard not to overhear the slaps and shrill cries of our predecessors, coupled with the raucous tone of the vendor, yet the crowd seemed strangely silent. Until …“Not up to your usual standard, Perkins,” someone called.“Maybe they should strip and dance for us.”“Next!”Just that one word managed to make my spine tingle with fear and something else akin to anticipation.We were hustled onto the stage and I forced myself to s
