The Wolves of New Orleans Chapter 43: The Mother
*Lucas*Titus would not stop bouncing his knee in the driver's seat of his hummer. It had been over a week since Hannah went to the hospital and now, she was allowed to leave. Titus wanted to be the one to get her and I decided to come along for the ride since Kennedy had been working extra hours at Massi Tech. She had been trying to avoid going to the house because pack members had been visiting day and night, checking in on my father. At some point she was going to have to face them, especially since the news of our mating was starting to spread. I wasn't going to push the issue because I felt how much she dreaded talking to them.I rubbed the center of my chest, now a usual habit. Something at work was making her uneasy. It had taken me a few days to get used to the constant hum of her awareness in my chest, but now that awareness was something I had come to appreciate, it gave me an extra sense of security that she was safe. The burn increased, I braced my hands on the dashbo
The Wolves of New Orleans Chapter 44: The Traitor
*Kennedy*Rage seethed in me, we were all betrayed, but the Massi's had been deceived for years. All the violence, and Tony and Titus's near demise was orchestrated so masterfully that I should've known. I'd been following the trail of money for days, and finally I found where it all landed. I was living in Deja vu, and the first time I quickly forgave the Massi's, but this time forgiveness was not possible. There had been too much spilled blood. I heard the sound of Grace's high heels clicking off the hard floors before she knocked lightly on my office door. "Another late night." She said in that southern accent, her red lipstick smeared on her teeth.My heart thudded loudly, "You know me, I can't ever stop working." I did my best to quelch the feeling of being overcome with fear. I gaped at the woman who had been Tony's lover for years. She'd shared holidays and birthdays with them, helped to raise Titus and Lucas and I thought loved them as her own, but I was mistaken, we all we
The Wolves of New Orleans Chapter 45: The Deception
*Lucas*I stumbled, my back hitting the window, there was so much blood loss, I was struggling to think that Kennedy could still be alive. I tried breathing in and out of my nose but all I inhaled was the scent of Kennedy's blood, it left a pungent taste in my mouth. This was my fault, I should've had protection on her at all times, I thought that Massi tech would be safe, and I was too reliant on our connection. How could I have made such a costly error in judgment.I tried to feel out for Kennedy again, grasping at any signs of life. A small string vibrated so softly in my chest, as if she were in a deep sleep. Abundance of hope sprang to life in me, swelling tears in my eyes, but I held them back. Sheriff Ricci and my father finally caught up to me. Ricci stopped in his tracks at the blood on the floor. My father took one look at my face and unraveled. Kennedy's desk flew into the air violently colliding with the wall. Computer equipment and office supplies littered the space. I
The Wolves of New Orleans Chapter 46: The Trade
*Lucas*Loud pops blasted down the driveway, we both hunched over as I jerked the car, but nothing came through the windows. The shots weren't meant for us, at the end of the driveway the Sheriff was standing over two lifeless bodies. Titus's giant wolf was roaming around the yard, searching for more trespassers, his midnight coat camouflaging in the dark sky."Caught them trying to break into the house." Sheriff explained when we got out of the car. He didn't wait until the bodies went cold, and started searching through their pockets, retrieving a cell phone, and dialing the last number that was placed. A voicemail picked up, the familiar sound of Grace was on the receiving end."What the hell! Is that Grace?" Titus said, jogging back as human.I had a lot to catch Titus up on, "Grace has been the one orchestrating all of this, she took Kennedy too."Hannah scurried as fast as she could outside, coming to a halt at Titus' side, she froze at the bodies on the ground, "Hannah, go
The Wolves of New Orleans Chapter 47: The Hammer
*Kennedy*My brain was attempting to escape from my skull, that had to be the reason why the intense pain was almost to the point of being unbearable. I let my head drop to the side, all I wanted to do was pass out again. Something hard forced my chin up. "Hey Honey, time to wake up." The hard object under my chin was removed, which I saw was a gun, my head went involuntary back down, I had no strength to hold up my heavy head. Grace's hand slapped me across the face, flashes of neon-colored nails torn across my vision.My cheek burned from the impact. I spat in her face, it was the only thing I was able to do. "I supposed I deserve that." She wiped my saliva away, "I am sorry you got in the middle of this." There was zero sincerity behind her apology, "but it will work out better for me anyway."I had to swallow down vomit, from all the spinning in my head, "How could you do this to them, especially Tony, I saw you two together.""Perks of the job," she shrugged, sitting back in
The Wolves of New Orleans Chapter 48: The Revenge
*Lucas*I could almost hear the screaming in my head, the feeling had played over and over again on repeat even after our connection had dulled for the third time, Kennedy was fading in and out of consciousness. I had nearly broken every chair in the kitchen, including the large bench, the anger finally winning over. Dominic was left standing, propped up against the kitchen island, his arms were crossed waiting for me to ride out the anger. The only chair left intact was the one Sheriff Ricci was on, he had been searching cameras for hours, and the bolo he put out hadn't come back with anything."If this is what it is like to be mated, I am never doing it," Dominic said in a flat tone.I laughed sarcastically, I'd like to see him try, Marco would have his son mated within a few years, they had to secure the Giovanni line. "Are you sure you're okay fighting Dom, I know you've been trying to keep your hands clean. I'll understand if you need to back out, Marco will never know.""Stop
The Wolves of New Orleans Chapter 49: The Life Saver
*Kennedy*The auburn wolf didn't see Mason crouching in the corner as he skidded into the room. Mason pounced, taking the wolf to the ground before he could get to me. Whoever the wolf was, he was an amazing fighter, so agile. All I could do was watch, as I sat in the corner. My arm was immobile and to even move it a minuscule amount was excruciating.The wolf moved swiftly under Mason, gripping his teeth and claws under his rib cage, Mason insides spilled out and I almost hurled, I could go a lifetime without seeing that again.Grace came out of nowhere chortling and snapping at the wolf's spine. Whatever nerve she hit must've temporarily paralyzed him, because he wasn't moving. She had her teeth pressed in the back of his neck and was going to kill him if I didn't stop her. I searched for my hammer and found that it had been thrown across the room after Mason broke my wrist. I forced out the pain in my arm and hurried to the weapon, the head had broken off and all that was left
The Wolves of New Orleans Chapter 50: The Truth
*Kennedy*"Come on baby, you have to talk to me at some point." Lucas said through the door of Titus's room. Of course, I was going to talk to him, he was the love of my life, but right now I was furious, and Titus was the only one seeing reason. "I still can't believe that Hannah agreed to Marco's trade and that Lucas let her. What were they thinking?" I had been home for almost a week, and I'd just found out about this. Even after days' worth of discussion on what happened to me and Grace. Not one of them said a word, but when Titus and Hannah were caught arguing about it last night. Lucas had confessed about the trade, and that Hannah and Titus were leaving for Italy in a few days to hold up their end of the deal. The thought of Hannah leaving was terrifying. I hadn't spent more than a day away from her in years, and now she was traveling to another country, still sick, to work with a madman. "If I could go with you, I would, but I have to finish healing first. I am giving you
