Chapter 21
LUKEI've been punching my way through Lycans and Dragons in this whole damn town. Looking for anyone who can tell me what Alexi is up to and where she is."WHERE IS SHE?" I growl fiercely, delivering a brutal punch to the Dragon I have tied up on the ground of the old Lycan hole.He can barely breath. I've been knocking him senseless for two days.He utters a word I can barely hear. "Nash.""What?" I grab his hair and put his swollen, bloody face to mine. "What was that?""Nash." He says again."Who's Nash?" I grind."Princess....lover...." He manages. He's exhausted and practically dead."Make sense!" I shake his head.".... Highway 12......30 minutes.......he'll tell you." he coughs.I let go of his head. "Thanks" I say. I leave him tied up on the floor. Leaving the warehouse and jumping in my dad's truck. My dad's still hanging on, which is a good thing for me because I really want to fix my mess before he goes.I drive to the location the Dragon gave me. A lone house on the highw

ALEXII pace back and forth across the field. The night breeze blows my hair. I bounce my gun in my hand as I walk and wait.Whimpers come from the ground where 20 kids are tied up and poisoned with Wolfsbane."Oh. Shut up." I grumble. Walking past the scared, drugged faces."Alexi!"I turn, holding my gun at my side. "No! I told you to leave me be!" I shout at Luke as he heads in my direction. I walk behind the kids. "Not another step!" I point my gun at the head of a child.He stops and puts his hands up. "Ok. Alexi, just calm down.""Where's Anna Riker?! " I demand."She's here, but Alexi, please. You may be a Torrent, but you're not this. Don't do this, Alexi.""How many times are going to go through this. I will not stop until Anna Riker is dead." I push my barrel into the child's hair. She whimpers.He steps closer. "Alexi, please. This is killing me to see you like this. Please.""That's your problem Luke, not mine." I stare at him intently.He steps even closer. "I know about

LUKEI swing my fist with all the anger I have. I punch at Richie, growling. He's forced back as I swing at him left and right. He tries to block my punches, but I'm relentless and he's tiring fast."Luke! Tone it down!" He yells. He's shielding his face as I see red.I forcefully huff out my breath with each swing. He's not going to last much longer."LUKE!!" He yells, trying to break my tunnel vision.He finally sees an opening and punches me hard in the face. It's enough to send me back, shaking my head."ENOUGH!" Richie yells.I pant, wiping the blood from my nose. I'm dripping in sweat and rage. I stand with my hands on my hips looking at the ceiling, trying to slow my heart rate.He walks over and hands me a towel. "As much as I'm enjoying having a real challenge, I don't need to be pummeled by you, ok?"I glance at him and wipe my face and chest. "Sorry." I grunt.He puts his hand on my shoulder. "How are you holding up?""I'm not." I shake my head. "I've lost all control. I do

ALEXII finished writing and pushed the list to the big, blonde Alpha with the long hair. I frown at the thought that these people were my friends and they lied to me my whole life. My father was the monster. Not the Alphas. That doesn't mean that the Alliance is innocent. There's much they need to pay for, but maybe they can pay in a different way.I look across the room and Luke is leaning in a corner with his arms crossed. He smiles and nods and I give him a half smile back. I may not have liked his approach, but he showed me what I needed to see. He told me the truth, which apparently nobody has ever done before.I have a lot to process, but I hope in time I find that girl I was before all this started."Ok. Thank you, Alexi." The big Alpha says."You're welcome." I say meekly."Now. You'll have to wear the collar until you testify." He folds his hands over the paperLuke pushes off the wall to the table leaning on it. "Testify? What do you mean testify?""She has to testify when

LUKEWe buried my father a few days later in a private family ceremony in the woods behind the pack house.After the funeral, Bobby held a small press conference outside the house.I told my people that my father passed away and that as me as their official Alpha, I promised to make their home safe.After, I walk slowly up the stairs. I want to scream and punch things. I want to destroy and dismember, but I also just want to lay in Alexi's arms and cry. I'm not ready to be alone as a son. With my dad being so old, I felt I just didn't get enough time with him. Being a shifter, you take time for granted. Any one of us could still die at any moment.Now, I'm Alpha. In charge of people's lives. They'll look to me for all the decisions and I just hope I make the right ones.My wolf wants to bug out. Leave. Run. Only because he's hurt and struggling. Dealing with everything that's happened.But I can't run. Not now. I need Alexi.Walk slowly down the hall to Alexi's room and open the door.

LUKEI knew something was wrong. I could feel it in my gut. Then I heard Alexi whimper and someone talking to her.When I saw Gerome pushing on Alexi in the girl's washroom, I fucking lost it. My wolf surfaced and he saw red. All I wanted to do was rip him to pieces for even thinking of trying that with her.As cousins, we were friends, but not anymore. He steps foot anywhere near me or Alexi, I'll rip his head off.When I saw how powerless Alexi was, I felt angry. She shouldn't be so powerless. I know her collar suppresses her wolf, but her human side should still be able to hold her own.After the incident, Alexi refused to come out of her room. So, I've been staying with her every day and night until she'd fall asleep for a week now. But tonight? No. This shit ends now.After Alexi fell asleep in my arms, I snuck out and went downstairs.Gavin, Terry, Bobby and Lucy were all sitting in the common room.Lucy was sitting on the couch, legs crossed, playing on her phone.Gavin was sit

LUKEI woke up to sun beaming on my face. I rolled to my back and opened one eye. The sun was certainly brighter today. I blink my eyes to adjust to light.I was feeling fan-fucking-tastic. I was out almost instantly. I slept even better than the first night with Alexi.Speaking of my sexy red head.I reach my arm out and the bed is cold. I raise my head and look at the spot Alexi is supposed to be in. She's not there. I look around the room and call out to the bathroom. "Alexi?"No answer. I sit up. She wouldn't. I pull the sheets off and pull on my jeans. I swing the door to the room open and rush into the hallway.I'm practically running down the stairs and find Gavin on his phone with a coffee on the couch."Hey, you seen Alexi?" I ask. I'm breathless and in a panic.Gavin chuckles at the sight of my worried face. "Yeah, dude. She's out back in the garden."I breathe a sigh of relief. Leaning back. "Thanks."I step to the back of the house. Past the game room and the training room

ALEXI Training with Luke is so therapeutic. I feel more at home here as the days go by. It also helps that since I have proved I can hold my own, the relationships with the others in the house seemed to have improved. I don't feel like such an outcast. Though, I do try to not bring up my father around them as much as possible. I've gotten close to some. Like Evan, for instance. I've almost taken him under my wing sort of speak since Luke seems to want to shield him from the world. He idolizes Luke, I found out. He wants to be like him, but Luke's always so busy, he never gets time with him. "Well, that won't do at all." I say to Evan. After he completed his errands for the morning. He shrugs. "The Alpha has a lot on his plate. I learn what I can. Eventually, I'll get to a spot where I'm part of it more." He smiled. "What about sparring?" I ask. "Luke loves to spar. You could train with him. That'll break the ice." Evan smiles. "I train, but I'm not allowed to spar with the guys.

LUKEIt's all fun and games before life gets in the way.I had almost forgot why Alexi was even here. To protect her from the Dragons before the trial.In order to prepare, we had to have a meeting.We waited on Bastian to show up at the packhouse.Alexi paced back and forth, chewing on her fingernail.I'm sitting at the large conference table. My eyes following her. "Alexi, sit.""I can't. I'm too nervous." She paces more."It'll be fine. We're just going over the game plan for the trial." I lean on the table."I know. I have to testify against my friends, Luke. This isn't sitting well in my stomach." She holds herself as she paces.I walk around the table and stop her in her tracks. "I know its shit, but it's a condition of your freedom. Once your cleared, my pack won't have anything to say about you. It's what we want, isn't it?""Yes, but it still hurts. I grew up with most of these people, Luke." She looks at me with worry in her eyes."I know, baby. Just try to calm down. We are

Chapter 30
LUKEI scream into the night as I stare at the driveway entrance. I'm still on my knees with my arms flopped to my sides.What I tried to prevent, happened anyway. I couldn't protect Alexi. Now, she's in the hands of the Dragons. If I don't get her back soon, they're going to break her and I could lose her for good.Bobby walked up to me as I continued to stare at the road. "We'll get her back, but we're gonna need help. Those guys didn't look Lycan." He looked down on me.Not breaking my gaze from the road, I rise slowly to my feet. "No. They were Dragons.""Who was that guy?" He put his hands in his pockets."Torrent's First Commander and Alexis ex-lover. He's getting the Dragons back together and by the sounds of it, he's making Alexi his Luna." I turn my head to him. "I've got to get her back. This is could ruin her."Bobby nods. "We will, but like I said. We'll need help."I realize that if we're going to save Alexi, I can't let the alliance know she's in the hands of the Dragons
