Semua Bab Alpha's Dirty Secrets: Bab 121 - Bab 130

The only calm part of the day had been the drive up to the reservation. Cadifor left his motorcycle at the den in favor of riding in the SUV with Cullen and Aislinn. There had some tension from Aislinn at first. She was nervous about interacting with them after what had happened the night before. But when it became clear that she was the only one who was concerned about it she quickly reverted back to herself. Cullen was amused to see that she almost instantly began flirting with Makeda when she calmed down.When they arrived at the reservation everyone showered and changed. Cullen and Cadifor were both barefoot, wearing black suit pants and black button up shirts as well as a black suit jackets. They were definitely more dressed up than they usually were but the shirts weren't tucked in or completely buttoned up. They gave Aislinn the impression of the way men looked at a human wedding at the end of the reception after they'd all eaten and drank too much and made themselves comfortab

Cullen and Cadifor were talking with a small group of alphas from outside of Cadifor's territory. Cullen was doing his best to look like he was enjoying himself. The last twenty minutes had been pure misery. He wasn't sure if Aislinn would be joining them or not.Makeda and Sarah were pleased and impressed to see that even if Aislinn was upset she was managing to look every bit the part of alpha mate. It was an important skill that not everyone could manage. Bottling feelings when appropriate for appearances.Aislinn felt guilty for having upset him so badly. She led the way through the people in the main room. Heads turned as members of the pack recognized them and pointed them out to others who didn't know who they were.Cadifor saw them before Cullen did. When Aislinn's eyes met Cadifor's he bowed his head to her slowly as if he was mesmerized. Cullen and every other alpha in the group turned to see what or who had earned that great of a compliment from Cadifor. Cullen thought his

The Tairneach thought they were imagining it at first. They could hear singing echoing though the woods. It was beautiful, almost like a church choir echoing through a cathedral, and a number of them stopped to listen without realizing it. Jenna thought she may be losing her mind when the lights started to dance about the woods. They were too far off to make out. But there were definitely lights.Maon caught up with her. "Does that look like someone with a flashlight," he whispered and pulled her back behind a tree.Jenna shook her head. "Don't be a fool. Why would any of the people here tonight need a flashlight," she growled. But she stared into the trees ahead, looking for someone with a light, just the same. She couldn't think of any other reason for it.Between the singing and the lights the woods were taking on an eerie appearance. The Tairneach suddenly had the strong feeling that they were being watched and were not welcome.***Cullen looked around at all the smiling faces an

Jenna walked into the clearing entirely pleased with herself. The Arnauk and their guests were all in the process of dealing with her new army. There were two people standing in the circle. It was as if someone had given her a present. Maon could deal with the druid and she planned to kill Aislinn personally. The idea sent chills through her body.Maon led the druids and their guards into the stone circle just behind Jenna. He took the pack off of his back and set it down. He was pleased that things seemed to be working. This was how the plan was supposed to go so far.Aislinn looked over at Malik. "Do you know what I'm supposed to do yet," she growled as they watched Jenna's troops walk into the clearing. Aislinn knew Maon was at least a beta. She had never seen him fight but she knew that Jenna was rarely without him. She also figured that the others had to be decent rank as well, just in case there had been a fight to deal with when they got this far. It certainly appeared as thoug

"Brennus," Aislinn said as her mind wrapped around something.Jenna growled angrily and rushed toward Cullen. Aislinn came out of nowhere and ran into the stone circle. She didn't know if it would work, but she figured that it was worth trying. She focused her mind on Brennus Tairneach. As she stepped beyond the stones the ruby ring around Jenna's neck flashed a blinding red and suddenly Aislinn and Jenna were gone.Cullen felt his sense of Aislinn fog over and he roared his anger. She had trapped herself somewhere with a dire lycan. Aislinn, his mind screamed. But in that instant Maon attacked him. Cullen rolled away from the monstrous lycan and howled for reinforcements. He managed to dodge the brut again and he heard a response. But it was far off. Cullen was no fool. He knew that he couldn't take on one of these alone. He thought back to fighting Rafe the werebearlion and really didn't want to go through that again. In the end it had been Brinah's sacrifice that won that match.Ja
