Alpha's Dirty Secrets のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 491 - チャプター 500

Heading downstairs, they found Mackenzie in the study, Karn just getting ready to leave the room. It was good that they were both together; it meant they only needed to win one battle rather than two. The Praetorian leader's face lit up the instant he saw his mate, though Karn's shrewd gaze went from Lily to Kallum and back again before he rolled his eyes. "What are you two cooking up?"Mac's gaze narrowed, and he looked at the two of them for a long moment before he rose from his chair and gathered his mate into his arms. "Whatever it is, the answer is no.""Mackenzie!" Lily groaned, pushing at his chest and conceding defeat quickly when he wouldn't let go. "You can't keep me locked up here at the compound. It's like being in a prison." It wasn't really, how could being in her mate's loving embrace ever be like a prison? However, her frustration was riding her hard, and she was desperate for a little freedom.Karn snorted loudly and rolled his eyes again. "Your idea of a prison and e

She turned her back on him, afraid that if she looked him in the eyes he might do something to hurt her, but she heard him moving away and let out a sigh of relief. Hopefully he would listen and stay away. Hopefully her alpha would return too, and she could leave these weird people and just be with what remained of her pack."She's annoying," Agony said to Dara as he reached her. "First she hits me with a plank of wood and now she refuses my attempts to help her. He'd better be wrong about her. I don't like her very much.""Oh for goodness sake, the poor girl's world has just been turned upside down," Dara hissed under her breath. "Her father's dead, her mother doesn't know her, and she's just lost her pack. For someone who's gone through all that, she's doing the best she can. She's certainly doing better than you did, Agony. She didn't just get up and run off when the shit hit the fan. She's stayed and she's protecting those she loves. So cut her a little slack. She's never come acr

She was also concerned that there were children out there alone with no protection, only this Terra person. Judging from the small size of the pack, it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that Terra was likely barely into adulthood."Would it be too much trouble for you to see if you can find this rendezvous point?" she asked Agony, knowing he wouldn't want to do it. His expression said it all, and she prepared for the inevitable tirade that didn't come."Fine, I will look but only after you tell me what Rafe said." Agony folded his arms and gave her a level stare, his posture letting her know in no terms that he wouldn't move from the spot until he'd heard everything."If we can find other pack members then we can give the care of Ava, Pippa and Tali over to them and continue on our way. If not, we will have to send them stateside to the pack and they will care for them until such times as we can find their alpha or other pack members.""No!" Mila and Agony spoke at the same time, the

A regretful expression crossed Rhianna's face, her soul still wracked with guilt at having kept her brother from another time secret from her family and friends for so long. "Maybe things would have been different if I had gone with Caleb," she admitted. "However, there's nothing I can do to change that, and maybe things were meant to play out just the way they did."She was silent for a long time, staring past him as if reliving an old memory, then she gave herself a mental shake and met Rafe's intent gaze. "Caleb should be here for this. There are things he needs to know and we have knowledge we can provide to help Dara and Kothi find our old home more easily."Rafe raised an eyebrow, his expression sardonic. "I believe I said something similar a little earlier..."Rhianna rolled her eyes, a half smile teasing her lips as she conceded her brother's point. "Yes, you did, and you were right. Now do you feel better?"As an answer, he reached out and pulled Rhianna into a tight bear hug

"Wow, this is such a beautiful light touch," she breathed out quietly, unable to hide her awe at the delicate tendrils she found within Caleb's mind. "No wonder we never noticed this. Whoever performed the entry is very powerful and in a way I have never witnessed before, even when I was alive."As she spoke, she carefully weaved tendrils of light around the small dark tendrils she found seated beside the core of Caleb's emotions. Her mental machinations were so fast the darkness was completely obscured in less than five seconds. It took another second to provide a burst of mental energy so powerful, the darkness was completely obliterated by the light. Where it had once been there was now a translucent barrier, one that quickly grew to gently enclose all other possible avenues that their enemy could try to breach again."There, that will keep out any other unwanted guests," she smiled, stroking Callain's cheek once more and giving him a brief kiss. "My turn now."Callain had followed
