Все главы The Bastard Alpha: Глава 1 - Глава 10

Dense cloud cover blocked the moon and yet my wolf felt stronger than ever. We were finally close to our destined territory. I leaned back onto a tree, trying to make the most of the last moments of peace I would have in a while. The hypnotic sounds of the waves crashing on the shore did nothing to distract me. Even though I knew we had the element of surprise, even though I was sure nobody in the Amethyst pack would have dreamt of what was about to happen, I couldn't let myself relax. Every drop of sweat and blood over the past years of my life led me to this moment. I had waited to enact my plan for more years than I'd be willing to admit. Therefore, I wouldn't... I couldn't let anything ruin it. I felt the wind change and I instantly knew a storm was coming. I made a silent prayer to the Moon Goddess thanking her for aiding me. The storm would make things so much easier for us. "Are you sure about this?" Kyle mindlinked me for the thousandth time in the past week, making me growl a

My brain chose that moment to remember a very important piece of information: She is a high-school student. I think even Marte was shocked by this thought as he let her go, placing her carefully on the floor beside us. "If she is a minor, she won't recognize us as her mate yet." His voice was the perfect mix between desperation and sadness. He was worried about her reaction to being taken and... I laughed. My wolf was worried about causing a good first impression. That was a first.Before we could even think about what that would mean, Kendra jumped on the truck, carrying my half-brother. Everyone else (except for Tyler), followed right after her, and soon the truck got started. I couldn't find our second target. Where was the Beta's daughter? I needed her for my plan to work. My mother was left to die on the side of a road after my father found his true mate. It was a miracle we survived. A rogue couple smelled her blood and rescued her just in time. The rogue woman knew enough abou

'Hmmmm, his hands feel so good, Delilah. Don't move yet, I like this.' Venus' voice was the first thing that came to focus. My head hurt A. F*CKING. LOT. and it took me a second to realize the weird feeling all over my body. My skin tingled and it felt warm. Was I running a high fever? 'No, silly. You were saved by a big strong hero and he is checking if we are ok. We are hot because he is hot. Make sure to be nice to him, ok? Please, Delilah.' I tried to open my eyes, but I couldn't yet. The healing process helped me gain conscience, but it was not enough for much else yet. Because Venus asked... No, I'm not going to lie like this. Scratch that. Because it felt good I decided to let whoever this hero was to keep taking care of me. His calloused fingers moved carefully up my arms, probably trying to detect any wounds. I wonder if he noticed the trail of goosebumps that he was leaving on my skin. I wonder if this was affecting him as much as it did me. Much sooner than I would like,

The truck went off-road and just then I realized we were almost arriving at our packhouse. Our territory was... different. Almost completely hidden by trees was the huge perimeter fence with a high-tech gate on the Northern border. It was guarded twenty-four hours and there were security cameras all around. We even tried some motion sensors for a while, but there's too much wildlife in the area and it was constantly triggered. Why so much protection? When we started this pack, we had nothing. Nowhere to live, nothing to wear, to eat... I was still fifteen when, one day, while stealing some things out of a supermarket, a man spotted us. Instead of reporting us to the police, he told us about some "opportunities" that were too risky for humans to take. He didn't care that we were minors. Thinking back, I don't even think he asked. He just wanted someone who was desperate enough to accept his offer. That was us. Theft, drug dealing, working as enforcers to collect debt for the "rich an

Delilah would wake up at any moment now and it probably wouldn't take much longer for the Sleeping Beauty's effect to run off in Thomas either. Outside both Kyle's door and mine there were wolfs guarding them while almost everyone in group that was in the truck is sitting in my office staring at me. The only one absent was Gilan, who barged in not long after. "All tracks erased, boss." He said, sounding like a serious disciplined soldier. One second later, the acting was over and before I could thank him for his job, he was expressing what was probably going through everyone else's minds. "Now... WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED?" If his tone of voice was disrespectful, Marte would have taken over. It was definitely not the case. He was just as shocked and confused as everyone else... Including me. "Marte felt her wolf's presence." Kyle, Ian and Jane looked at me knowingly. They knew his urge to find his mate was stronger than it already normally is for any wolf, since he remembered what it
