All Chapters of The Bridge To The Alpha’s Human Mate: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Ridge’s PovThe noise carried faintly through the closed walls of my office; shuffling feet, voices overlapping, a ripple of energy that didn’t belong inside my pack house. It had the distinct edge of tension, the kind of restlessness that meant something important had shifted. Normally, if there was any activity in here, it happened mostly on the fields, or even in the common room, and nowhere near this place. But the distinctive sound seemed like it was coming from somewhere near. I stilled, my eyes narrowing as I pulled my attention away from the spreadsheet glowing on my laptop screen. I had been working through patrol assignments, making sure no corner of our territory was left vulnerable. Erin’s disappearance had thrown enough chaos into the air; the last thing I needed was another gap. The door swung open without a knock and Roman burst inside, his breathing sharp, his eyes alight with urgency. “They’re here,” he announced. “Both of them. Just like they planned. Now we c

Ridge’s PovIt took us the whole day, the training, and getting everything ready, so that we weren't taken by surprise by Ryder’s men when they came, or when they attacked. We were now chilling in the common room, me, the other two alphas, some of the elders, my sisters and Blake when Clarissa walked into the room. “Hey Alpha Garrett, Alpha Dean.” she greeted with a small smile. Dean smiled back while Garrett nodded his head back in greeting. “Hey, Nina.” she greeted as well with a smile before nodding at Julia. She completely ignored Blake before looking at me. “Hey, Ridge, I need to talk to you for a moment, please.” she said, walking to sit down next to me. Blake was seated right next to me on the right, so Clarissa took the left side, sitting so close like we were best of friends or something. This was getting pretty annoying. I looked at Dean and Garrett to see the look of confusion of their faces, and then the look that said they were a bit finding this rude and offe

Ridge’s PovThe instant I stepped into the hall downstairs, the world turned to chaos. The sharp tang of gunpowder stung my nose, screams and growls tore through the air, and the coppery scent of blood was already too strong. Roman was right. Ryder hadn’t come with a test run… this was an invasion. I barreled down the stairs, shifting halfway, claws ripping through my hands as my wolf surged under my skin, demanding release. Dean’s roar rattled the walls as he tore into an intruder by the door, his wolf massive and dark, fur slick with blood already. Garrett was across the room, silver blade flashing under the dim light as he cut down another rogue before the bastard could reload. “Ridge!” Garrett barked over the noise. “He brought more than we thought!” “No shit,” I growled, slamming into a man with a shotgun, my claws tearing across his chest. He screamed, gurgled, and dropped. “Where’s Henry?” “Out front with Dean’s men!” Roman shouted, ducking under a swing and gutting a rogu

Blake’s PovI wws there, waiting patiently while the fight downstairs continued, and Julia was still nowhere to be found. I just stood there feeling pretty useless, wondering and imagining what could be happening there. When I couldn't stand it anymore, I decided I had to leave the room as well to go find Julia and Honey. At least, that way, I wouldn't be labelled as a coward that hid in her room when people were fighting. Only, when I finally came out of the chamber and out into the hall, I saw how dry it was. No one was there, and nobody was loitering around. The doors to the other rooms were closed, and I couldn't tell if people were in there as well or not. I decided to take the stairs instead of the elevator because the last thing I wanted was drawing attention to myself. Slowly, I started down these stairs, looking around. Pretty much, this place was quiet, and no one was around, but in the far distance of the first floor, I could hear the screams, the shout of pain, barks

Blake’s Pov I forced myself out of Julia’s arms, raising both hands so she wouldn't touch me, then I gave her a glare. “Where the hell were you?” I asked. “You're the reason I came down here.” I said. She nodded as if accepting defeat. “I know, and I'm sorry. I couldn't find Clarissa and Honey. Someone told me they went to the stairs with Nabi, so I thought they went up but I couldn't find them.” she explained. Gritting my teeth, I said. “That was what I was told too, but I don't like this one bit. I can feel it in my gut, Clarissa is up to no good.” I hadn't even finished up my words when I heard Ridge grunting behind me and I turned to see why, thinking that maybe Ryder had overpowered him, but what I saw baffled me. Right by the front door of the house, down the hall, Clarissa was standing there with Honey in front of her, but she wasn't standing alone. She had a man standing behind her, pressing a knife to her throat. The man pushed her in so that she walked towards wher
