Alpha's Dirty Secrets のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 291 - チャプター 300

"It is time to reinvent The Praetorians," she announced. "Only this time their task will be to protect the children. Only the most trusted vampire will be inducted into their ranks. Their identities will remain a secret and they will be tested by the triumvirate before joining. Our magic will determine if they are worthy of the task asked of them. The pack will never see them, neither will the children. They deserve a chance to live normal lives full of love and happiness.To ensure that, the Praetorians will never see the children either. They will be given their true scents as a way to protect them. Which is why you will need to instil in the children that they show their true scents should they ever be away from the protection of their pack and family and find themselves in need. It will be the only way The Praetorians will be able to defend them should the worst happen."Rafe mulled over her words trying to work out whether it would better just to allow the children to know about

Rayne was still stunned at the news she was pregnant as she left Rafe's library, Gard closely following behind her. She could feel his emotions through their bond and had to fight down a laugh. One moment he was ecstatic and the next he was full of trepidation. Confused didn't come close enough to describing his emotions.She was aware of Lacey in the sitting room with her sons and couldn't stop herself from peering in to look at them. She felt her own trepidation set in as she watched the ease her Alpha handled first one child and then the other as she cooed to them. Lacey made it look so effortless and she couldn't help wondering if she'd be half as good a mother."You'll be perfect," Gard soothed, his arms wrapping around her from behind, his hand resting tenderly against her stomach."Have you taken up mind reading now?" Rayne laughed softly leaning against the thick wall of his chest.Lacey looked up and smiled at the sound of their voices. She took in Gard's hold and her smile g

Caleb retrieved his mate, aware there had been private communication with her brother but not concerned about it. He was slowly coming to adapt to the fact that he had to share his woman; that he had to let her fly free so she would always come home to him."Let's go home, sweet one," he whispered in her ear as she melted against him and gave him one of her many smiles that turned his heart inside out and made him forget all about breathing.They said their goodbyes and headed outside, Rhianna pausing on the steps to look around the compound slowly. Caleb stopped at her side, following her gaze.Two little brown and golden cubs were tearing around outside's Cedar's home, their parents watching carefully with slightly bemused expressions on their faces. Cedar looked up at Alexei and his arms came around her, a reassuring smile on his face as he held her close. He said something low under his breath and his mate giggled before they turned back to watch their daughters romp in the dirt i

Connor instantly looked repentant, picking up on his brother's concern and taking a step back. He smiled gently. "No offence meant, Freya. I'm just trying to say thank you for bring Day home to us. I didn't get hit much with the sensitivity stick when I was born and didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable."His words were so sincere, his expression so downcast, that she couldn't help relaxing against Dayton's side as she finally worked out that the big gruff male in front of her was trying to welcome her into his family in the same way he related to his brother. She was quite astounded that he felt she was so much a part of the Alexanders that he was willing to treat her on an equal footing as her mate. Maybe meeting the rest of them wouldn't be so bad after all, if they were all so ready to accept her as Connor was."None taken," she finally said, straightening up. "I am still adapting to your pack ways but it's getting easier. Did I hurt your hand badly?" She noticed he was still

"Play nice, vampire," he growled inside her head.She gave him a mock innocent look as her smile broadened slightly. Dayton's earlier grief was receding to be replaced by his playful side as his emotions dialled back down into something resembling normal. If she could keep distracting him by keeping him wondering what she was going to do next, then this visit would be a lot easier for both of them.A stunning dark haired woman had appeared at Jared's side and Freya turned back to face Millicent Cooper, Jared's mate. She'd only seen the other woman on one occasion in the past as she tended to stay close to the Hanlon Compound with her children when not in the city with Jared."This is my mate, Millie," Jared introduced her. "Honey, this is Dayton and I think you've met Freya once before?""I have." Millie smiled in Freya's direction. "It's nice to see you again."She turned stunning cobalt eyes on Dayton and her smile beamed even wider. "I'm so pleased to finally meet you. You are both
