Semua Bab Alpha's Heat His To Ruin Hers To Heal: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Axel I caught Calla as she collapsed, her body shaking violently in my arms. Blood streamed from her nose, bright red against her pale skin. "Calla!" I dropped to my knees, pulling her against my chest. Her eyes rolled back, showing only white. Her whole body convulsed like she was having a seizure. Pack members rushed toward us from all directions. Their voices mixed together in a mess of panic and fear. "What the fuck is wrong with her now?" "Is she dying?" "I told you she was cursed!" That last comment made me growl low and dangerous. The pack member who said it stepped back quickly. "Everyone back!" I roared. "Give her space!" But they didn't listen. They kept crowding around, some looking pissed, others suspicious. "She's bringing bad luck to the pack," someone muttered. "First the vampire attack, now this." "Maybe we should—" "Shut up!" I snarled, my eyes flashing red. "All of you, back the fuck off!" The crowd finally moved away, but I could still hear them whispe

"That's not happening.""Oh, but it is." Lucien smiled, showing teeth that were too sharp. "You see, word has spread fast. The mighty Vanguards were nearly destroyed by a handful of vampires. You're weak. Broken and fucking ripe for the taking.""We're stronger than you think.""Are you? Then prove it."I could feel the tension building. The pack was ready to fight. So was the cartel."I'll give you one chance," Lucien continued. "Surrender now. Join us. Keep your lives.""And if we refuse?""Then we take what we want by force."Axel was quiet for a moment. Then he smiled, and it was full of teeth."You know what, Lucien? You're right about one thing. We are wounded. We are hurt. But that just makes us more dangerous.""Is that a no?""That's a fuck you."Axel moved.One second he was standing beside me. The next, he was airborne, his body shifting mid-leap. His human form stretched and changed. Claws sprouted from his fingers. His teeth became fangs. His eyes burned bright red.He sl

She snapped.Her eyes finally flashed gold. Her canines lengthened. Claws sprouted from her fingertips.She dropped the training stick and grabbed my wrist, her claws digging in."I said stop," she growled.Her grip was like iron. I could feel my bones grinding together."There we go," I said calmly. "Now you're fighting."She blinked, realizing what she'd done. The claws retracted. Her eyes went back to normal."Oh god," she whispered, letting go of my wrist. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.""Don't apologize. You did good.""I could have hurt you.""But you didn't. You controlled it."She shook her head. "I lost control.""No, you found control. There's a difference."Blood was running from the small puncture wounds on my wrist, but I didn't care."That's what you need to learn," I said. "How to channel the wolf without losing yourself.""I don't think I can.""Yes, you can. You just did."Jordan clapped slowly from the doorway. "Well, that was intense.""Shut up," I said."I'm just saying

JaceThe fake FBI badge felt heavy in my pocket as we walked up to the crime scene. Eden had done good work on the fake IDs. Her magic made them look real enough to fool anyone. She even used the shadow shield to alter our faces to prevent us from being recognized, especially on herself with her tattoos that might give her away."Remember," I said quietly, "we're federal agents looking into a possible serial killer.""I know," Eden whispered back. Her voice was tight with nerves.The police had the whole block taped off. Yellow crime scene tape fluttered in the morning breeze. I counted at least six cop cars and an ambulance."Agent Wilson, Agent Blake," I said, showing my badge to the officer at the tape. "We're here about the murders."The cop looked tired. Like he'd been up all night dealing with this mess. "Thank god you're here. This is the worst thing I've seen in twenty years."He lifted the tape for us. "Fair warning - it's pretty bad in there."I nodded and followed him towar

Blake sat behind his big desk in his fancy suit. He looked excited. More excited than I'd seen him in years. His eyes were bright and his hands moved as he talked in excitement."The demonstration in that little town was perfect," he was saying, waving his hands around. "Three council members. Clean kills and the public is already talking about gang violence while the police thinks it's wild animals."My blood went cold. He was talking about the murders. The ones from my vision that came true."Good," said another voice.I couldn't see who was talking. There was something wrong with my vision. Like looking through frosted glass. I could make out a shape sitting across from Blake, but no details.Just a dark shadow that made my skin crawl."The people are scared," Blake continued. "Which means they'll be ready to listen when I tell them the truth.""What truth?" the figure asked. His voice was smooth like silk."About the supernatural world. About the threats hiding right under their n
