Chapter Thirty-One - The Scenario

Rose’s POV Theresa helped me out by unveiling herself, all but the strappy shoes. I could sense my owner’s interest in her, which didn’t help my nerves. “Stand up, Chloe. It’s showtime.” “What?” Did she believe she was exempt? I really hoped he wouldn’t crack that whip. If he was anything like Adam, using it once, hearing the sound as it connected with bare flesh was addictive. There was no way I wanted to be on the receiving end of that. Yet what if I got stage fright? Who would “assist” me? The blonde gritted her teeth, storing up more trouble for herself, as she divested herself of her bra. I was hoping not to have to go anywhere near that thong. It seemed my luck was in and soon I was the only one still in underwear. “Come on, Rose. Don’t be shy,” Brandon said. “I’m not.” Choosing to pretend I was an exotic dancer helped. I used one of the bedposts as a makeshift pole, teasing both men as I slowly uncovered my breasts and whipped around before baring my bottom. “And we hav

Chapter Thirty-Two - Decisions

Rose’s POVAdam unfolded his arms and pointed at me.“Go ahead, Omega.”“I would inform my husband and offer him the following advice: she should be medically examined, whether he remembers her or not, to establish if she has ever given birth. The pup’s DNA must then be compared with his or her alleged father’s, irrespective of gender.”“Interesting. Why?” Adam asked.“Because a fertile female is a potential asset to any pack, including the youngster.”“What if she’s a liar and her purpose is to infiltrate and destroy?” Chloe sneered.“Nobody asked you,” Brandon said, giving her a jolt of pain.I was up to the challenge. “It’s a fair question. Maybe she could be turned when faced with death. If the pup isn’t my husband’s, he or she could also be accepted. Better than becoming rogue and adding to our enemies.”“You’ve turned negatives into positives. Good.”I glowed under Timo’s unexpected compliment. Soon after I was conscious of Jessie’s glare coming my way. I would have to reassure

Chapter Thirty-Three - A Familiar Face And Disturbing News

Rose’s POVI made my way to see Erica without either panties or bra, the same as my companion.At one stage she turned to me, though her mouth opened and closed without sound.“Save it,” I said, wearily, though I squeezed her hand to show there were no hard feelings.I had to build bridges now.Her breath was expelled in a whoosh.“I’m not the enemy, Rose.”“No,” I agreed, thinking of a certain full of himself Alpha in his ultra modern castle.“Do you think Jess will be okay?”Jessie. I hadn’t even thought about her.I swallowed. “Timo won’t take advantage.”“How do you know?”The truth was, I didn’t. Until tonight I hadn’t even spoken to him.Before I could tell a white lie we’d reached the medical area. I told Theresa she needed to be checked over first.After giving her some vitamins and trusting her to find her way back to our quarters, Erica turned to me and puffed out her cheeks.“What happened to you?”“Don’t ask.”“Did you anger him?”“By refusing to participate in a scene to

Chapter Thirty-Four - Jane

Rose’s POV “Does this mean you’re forfeiting the contest?” Adam demanded. “If necessary. Unless it were to be suspended.” “No way. You’re going nowhere.” “Wouldn’t you plead for Brandon if he were in a perilous situation?” “Maybe, and maybe not. Though I might just abandon the whole competition. In fact, it was a stupid idea of mine in the first place.” “But you need an heir.” He shrugged. “I’ve always been prone to changing my mind. Let me think about it.” “I wouldn’t put it past Alpha Lewis to declare himself the Alpha King. That might save you a fortune if someone were to put the notion in his head. I mean, you could defeat him and seize all the packs in one go – and I guess most if not all will have declared by now, not wanting to be out on a limb. It would be so like him to spearhead any alliance.” “That’s brilliant, Rose,” Marcus said. “Yeah, she’s one in a thousand. Yet anyone could do that. I suggest we sleep on it. Have you had supper?” Just then an anguished scream

Chapter Thirty-Five - Almost Unrecognisable

Adam’s POVI could see my submissive thinking all kinds of lurid thoughts. That was a laugh, the boot being on the other foot for a change.Yet I wasn’t here for that, either.“Explain, master.”“How good are you at keeping secrets?”“If it gets me out of here, I’m the best there is.”I was beginning to see the signs of what Theresa could have become had she not been given a cruel mate.“Rose?”“If it helps Lolo … No, I’d do it anyway,” she stated, rashly. “You know why.”“Great. So this is how it’s going to be for the next moon or two.” My sub was eyeing me warily now. Had Alpha Lewis sent her away with a set time limit in which to achieve? That was history now and I wasn’t about to do the same. Not exactly. “I will take Theresa as my fake queen. You will not need to do much more than share my bed, given your condition.”“Define ‘much’?”Rose had an angry glint in her eye and her cheeks were flushed.“I shouldn’t have to do my own hand jobs,” I said. That quieted her.“It’s a small p

Chapter Thirty-Six - The Declaration

Rose’s POV Out of the blue she asked, “Are you ashamed of me, Rose?” “No, Lolo. Of course not.” “Alyssa won’t talk to me. Do you think I’ll ever heal?” “In time,” the medic said. “And opening up about it is a start. Say as much or as little as you want.” I laughed, though it came out as yet another sob. “Don’t encourage her. Lolo can talk longer than the shortest of Alpha Horace’s speeches.” Surprisingly, that raised a smile and I knew my sister wasn’t totally lost to me yet. “Will I be allowed to stay here? With you, I mean.” My own grin, which had taken an effort, didn’t last. Presumably I was still destined to head in the opposite direction. And I wanted that, truly. Especially now, and for as long as it took. I had my own agenda. But all I said was, “We’ll see.” “I’m done here. Why don’t you show her the garden?” “That’s a wonderful idea,” I said. Seth was waiting outside the door and didn’t appear to have any objections. “It seems we have a new queen,” he remarked. “I

Chapter Thirty-Seven - Resistance

Adam’s POVLater, when Willow was out of earshot, I had a very different message.“Seduce him if you must. I can take the pain.”‘No! I can’t believe you just said that to her,’ Marlon howled.Rose looked at me with dismay but she didn’t kick off. “You’re not serious, Adam. Are you?”It was more worrying that the occasionally feisty redhead I enjoyed controlling seemed to have disappeared during the last few hours.Maybe I could reach her and maybe not.If I wasn’t being dominant I didn’t know how to deal with her. Reasoning was never my strong point; as King it wasn’t something I normally had to do.Or should I try and make amends?The thing was, whatever I tried, I seemed to be making it worse.In the end I appealed to her sense of justice, without mentioning Willow. That would have been crass.“I’m counting on you to help conclude the war with less bloodshed, Rose,” I said. “Whatever it takes. Make no mistake, it’s the Lycans I want to keep whole. As many of them as possible.” Doub

Chapter Thirty-Eight - Used

Adam’s POV “You let her go?” Marcus was astonished. “Have you finally lost your mind?” Only he could get away with talking to me like that. “Rose is tougher than she looks.” “Bullshit.” “She’s also my fated mate.” “What?” He proceeded to lecture me on the folly of allowing a predator like the unmated Alpha anywhere near my woman. “Let’s hope he doesn’t find out.” “Lewis already knows.” “Great. Just great.” I acted nonchalant, despite suddenly feeling I’d made a huge mistake in using her this way. “Who took her? Did you happen to see his face?” “Gamma Hodges. I’ve seen him around.” “Rose fancied she’d spotted him but I thought it was wishful thinking.” “Just the right operative for this kind of mission,” he commented. When I said, “It’s not the first time she’s been used as a spy,” his jaw dropped. “Two can play Alpha Lewis’ game.” After Marcus had digested that, he asked, “How can you be sure she’s not playing you?” “I trust her. Besides, if she betrays me, I have Willo

Chapter Thirty-Nine - Spinning A Yarn

Adam’s POVJane had disappeared. I couldn’t believe it at first. Then I accused my sister of spiriting her away.“Not guilty,” she protested. “Our feelings weren’t mutual. I just felt so sorry for her.”“Did you know she’d murdered Clare?” Erica’s face told me everything. “Could Brandon have taken her?”“It’s possible. What are you going to do?”“Nothing yet. I have more important things to accomplish.”She looked as if she wanted to say something but didn’t like to open a time-consuming can of worms. Doctors hate wars though it keeps them busy.I chose not to bother Mom with a phone call. It was random anyway and she had a way of detecting if something was the matter with me. I knew she had enough to deal with without learning that my sister-in-law was a fledgling vampire. Or whatever they called them.And Theresa was a creature of nerves without the comforting presence of Rose. Her past coming to the fore again.So I sought out Timo, finding him just exiting the harem room. He had t

Chapter Forty - A Hostile Reception

Adam’s POVThe auctioneer, Boris, was as obsequious as ever and even pretended to exclaim about the quality of the merchandise. Yet the Alphas and their representatives seemed surprised to see me. Rather than withdrawing, they began a defiant murmuring.I would teach them. Maybe this had been a mistake, turning up in person.Alpha Lewis was conspicuous by his absence yet his females were up for grabs. They soon sold, being verified untouched unlike Maggie and Chloe.I began to think nobody would make a bid. Did they assume this would only help me to wage war on them? Then a gradual showing of hands led to the smiles fading on those ruby lips.“We want to see flesh!” someone cried.Not wanting to stick around for that I decided the time was right to seek fresh air. That was when I overhead the familiar gruff voice of Alpha Horace.“Well, I wasn’t expecting the Lycan King to turn up today. Do you reckon he cancelled the poker challenge?”“No takers, I assume,” his companion replied.“I
