All Chapters of The Bridge To The Alpha’s Human Mate: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Ridge’s Pov The evening sky was getting dark by the time I was done with the meeting. I stood up from the chair I had been sitting on for the last three straight hours, and sighed. “That's all, Mr. Sterling.” the service manager said, and I nodded. “Get back to me on all the reports. I just got a text the investors are waiting in my office, so I have to go.” I said, walking out of the boardroom without looking back. I got to my office and started the brief meeting I had with them. We were almost done when I heard a knock against my door. I didn't need to respond to know it was Henry, my Gamma. Therefore, when he knocked again and again and then called out to me for a response, I was a bit surprised. “Come in,” I reply. A few seconds later, he walked in to meet the confused look on my face. I noticed the massive smile on his face and wondered what he was up to now, especially since it hadn’t been but twenty minutes since he left my office and he sure knew these people were h

Blake’s POVThe lights in the mall were almost blinding; those big, industrial ones that made everything gleam a little too brightly, but the place was nearly empty. The polished floors looked like they hadn't been walked today, but I knew it was because few people were still around. I had never stepped foot inside this place before, even though Kenny and I walked past it almost every day on our way to work. It always seemed like a place reserved for a different kind of person. People who didn’t have to worry about rent or weekly gas budgets like Kenny and I. It was for people with power, money and pedigree. Surely not for me.“Alpha, he’s on standby waiting for us,” Roman said from behind me, his voice calm and clipped.Ridge gave him a curt nod in response, the kind of gesture that didn’t need words to carry weight. It amazed me how he could say so much with a single movement. Even more shocking was the fact that this entire mall… this massive, glossy, opulent place, was closed of

Blake’s POV The hum of the engine was the only sound filling the SUV as Ridge drove us through the forest road. I sat quietly in the passenger seat, my hands knotted in my lap. We've left town for about twenty minutes or so now, but I wasn't sure how much time was left before we got there. He had called me early this morning to tell me when we would be leaving, and then he had come to the house to pick me up. Now, we were headed to the place he had told me so much about already, his home. The pack house. I wasn’t even sure what I expected; a large cabin? A fenced-off compound? But what came into view when we rounded the bend took my breath away. A massive iron gate loomed in the distance, flanked by two stone towers with floodlights positioned above. The walls weren’t just fences; they were walls, tall and fortified, like something out of a high-security estate. Ridge pulled up to the control point without saying a word and rolled his window down. I watched him as he did what he

Ridge’s PovThe car rolled into the warehouse lot like the opening scene of a damn mafia movie with the moonlight catching on the hood, tires crunching over gravel, the air thick with the kind of silence that comes right before something goes terribly wrong or terribly right.In this case, it was leaning hard toward wrong, because I should be back at the pack house talking about the mating ceremony with my mate to be, or working in my office right now.I turned off the ignition and sat there for a beat, staring at the building that had been flagged on my security logs a hundred times for temperature fluctuations, shipment delays, and even a fox that somehow got stuck inside once and set off the motion sensors.But a rogue slipping past the wards?That was new. That was personal.Roman was already out of the car, long legs eating up the pavement as he moved toward the side door. I followed, my shoulders stiff, jaw locked.The moment we stepped inside, Henry was waiting for us with his

Blake’s PovI gave up on sleep around the time I realized I’d been tossing and turning like a sock in a dryer for most of the night. After Ridge left, just past midnight, my body had curled itself into this empty ache, like it was physically offended he had walked out the door.Sleep? Well, that was such a cute, but distant concept seeing as I couldn't close my eyes a wink. I had told myself I would go to bed early so I could wake up and join him on his morning run which was a solid plan, if you ask me. A responsible one. The kind of plan mature, evolved women made.Except for that one minor flaw. I didn’t actually sleep, not one blessed second.By five a.m., I was upright in bed, glaring at the ceiling and making aggressive mental notes about needing coffee if I was going to survive the day. Especially today, when not only was Kenny supposed to come here today for the mating ceremony tomorrow, but I was supposed to meet Ridge’s sisters for the first time. This was not the kind of d
