All Chapters of Alpha Maddox's Mortal Temptation : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Maddox stayed down for a little while struggling to catch his breath while the last witch continued her chanting. Inside his head, Dire pushed at him to move "Hurry up and heal. Hurry!." Dire growled in his head. Camille needed to be saved or she would die if he didn't do anything. Seconds later, the bones reshaped, and he leaped back into the air, charging for her. He wasn’t as fast as before, but he could still get her. He sensed Camille's fear coming from above. Even with the smoke around her, she had to have been watching them fight, scared for her life. Don’t worry. I told you I would keep you safe. The witch chanted, “R-rise d-darkness rise! R-rise darkness rise!” Black smoke rose from the ground. She leaped over it, springing upwards. Each second felt like minute. It all happened in slow motion. His fur bristled, fury stung in his veins. Maddox's claws prepared to bite into flesh and the closer he got to the witch, he opened his jaw. “No!” she screamed. He tore

She spoke, “In the books, some werewolves eat humans.”“That part is true too. Some of our kind do that, but I haven’t eaten a human, and no one in my pack would ever think to do that. As far as we’re concerned, we are half-human too. It would be cannibalism.”“But. . .”“What?”“I overheard you in the diner. You said that you didn’t want to come back again because you wanted to fuck and eat me.”“That was a joke.”She gestured to the dead witches on the ground. “I’m not so sure I see the humor in it right now.”“I won’t hurt you, and no one in my pack will touch you.” Maddox kept his distance between them , doing his best not to scare her. “Trust me, Camille. I just want to keep you safe. Let me get rid of this coven and find out what’s going on so I can keep you safe.”His ears caught the approach of his pack. They would have to finish this conversation later. “I am going back with you to the pack cabins until this coven is destroyed?”“That’s correct.”She looked at him. “And then

The redhead climbed off his motorcycle and walked over to the front of the first cabin. Maddox went over to him, grabbed Camille's bag from his bike, and returned to her.Three guys appeared near the front of the cabins. She recognized them from the diner. One of them was Finn. She still didn’t know the other’s names. One had long black hair falling past his shoulders. The other wore glasses. His brown hair was in a neat haircut.All three bulky men stared at her, raising their heads to the air and sniffing.Can they smell her?Her heart boomed.Obviously, hearing the organ, Maddox leaned her way. “Don’t worry. You’re safe here.” The three men remained smelling the air. No words left their lips. For the first time this evening, she realized that she might have made a huge mistake.Carrying her bag, Maddox captured her hand and led her forward.She held onto him. He was her anchor in this situation—her guide in this unknown world. Thankfully, Maddox walked them past his men. After s

Camille looked back at him. “Where do you sleep?”“Usually, I sleep here, but you should—”“No.” She held up her hand. “I’m not taking your bed away“You will.”“Maddox, you already saved my life. I can’t.” She left the room and went into the hallway. “If you don’t mind, I can take another bedroom?”“There are two guest rooms, but I want you in the master.”“No. I prefer to be in the guestroom. I would feel like I’m putting you out.”He frowned. “This is new.”“What?”“Someone not doing exactly as I say.” He formed his lips into a smile. “That’s fine. I can get used to it.”She blinked.He turned to the right. “This is the guest room I was going to sleep in. It’s right across from the master. I want to be close enough to you just in case there is danger.”“And. . .you think danger could come to your cabins, even with the illusions?”“If the witch is powerful enough, she can push through it. And the witches I battled today were strong.”Breathe in. 1-2-3. Breathe out. 1-2-3.Camille wa

Maddox's shirt was off. His hard muscle laid on display. He had those huge arms crossed in front of his chest. Those eyes glowed golden, lighting up the dim hallway.Shocked, Camille stood in the middle of the doorway. “Umm. . .”“Are you okay?”“Yes.” she lowered her gaze, unable to help herself. His belt was unbuckled. The top button was opened like he was caught in the middle of taking off his clothes. Camille's heart picked up. Those eyes brightened as if he could tell her body’s reaction to him.The howl sounded louder.That’s right. She came out here because of the white wolf.“I. . .uh. . .” Clearing her throat, she brought her view back to his face. “I was wondering about the white wolf outside of my window.”“That’s Finn. I’m too tired to shift and snap his neck.”She gulped in fear. “Why is he howling outside?”“He heard you moaning in the shower.”“He can hear that good?”“We all can.”“Oh.” She ran her fingers through her wet hair. “It wasn’t because. . .well, you know.
