Part 31

The following morning I woke up with a smile on my face for the first time in two years. I hadn’t slept much. After the party, I’d found out everything about Josephine that I possibly could and getting her number hadn’t been hard.Alex: The weirdo was wondering if you wanted to have dinner tonight. What should I tell him?Jo: The weirdo might be pushing his luck but it just so happens that I’m free tonight.Alex: He seems very happy with your answer and says he’ll pick you up at seven tonight.Jo: I’ll try my best not to chew with my mouth open.I laughed at her answer and finally got out of bed. I helped Thalia to clean up after the party and before I knew it, it was time to get ready for my date with Jo. I felt nervous, but in a good way. I liked how straight forward she was and in my heart, I already knew what I wanted.“Where are you taking her?” Levi asked when I finally descended the stairs. I had stared at myself for many minutes, wondering what to wear.“I’m taking her to the

It was barely 10 PM when I parked the car in the garage and walked into my house. Jo had made slight changes, adding pillows and a throw blanket to the living room decor. She upgraded the appliances in the kitchen since she spent the most time there when she cooked for us.I felt content with my life and I loved Jo. She was the perfect woman for me and I couldn’t wait to marry her. Everybody loved Jo and she had changed my life for the better. She accepted me as I was, prophecy included.I closed the front door behind me and fished my ringing phone out of my jacket pocket. “Hello.”“Alex?” Her voice was pitched higher than normal and I could tell something was wrong.“Mary? What’s wrong?” I asked her, instantly recognizing her voice, even though I hadn’t spoken to her in over two years.“It’s Jules, she’s in trouble,” Mary said and I froze on the bottom stair and gripped the phone in my hand.“What kind of trouble?” I asked her.“I don’t know everything. She said she owed the wrong ki

Part 33

I sat down on my own bed and sent a text to Jo.Alex: There’s been a development that I really need to talk to you about.She would only get the message tomorrow morning and I headed to the bathroom to shower. I was too worked up to sleep and I went downstairs and sat with my phone in the kitchen. At 6 AM I heard the front door and smiled. It was Jo.“In the kitchen,” I said loudly and I heard her footsteps. She kissed me good morning and put the kettle on.“Okay spill the beans weirdo, what happened that you have to talk to me about it?” She asked and I smiled.“So last night Mary phoned me just as I got home and told me that Jules is in Cody and she’s in trouble,” I said to her and she turned around. She knew about Jules and Mary and that I still sent her money. I had no reason to lie to Jo and she knew basically everything about me.“Shit, is Jules okay?” She asked me.“She’s in the guest bedroom,” I said slowly and Jo looked at me.“Okay,” she said as she looked at me.“Nothing’s

Part 34

Once I had settled in as Alpha, I had made my own website. It was busy at times. I was the wolf executioner after all. I had specific requirements on my site and a whole questionnaire that had to be filled in. I only killed the guilty so that had to be established and the more details I received, the better. I got paid for these jobs and if you lied to me or fabricated evidence you got to meet me face to face.I planned things carefully because I was never going to be in someone’s basement again. Between the website and being Alpha I was pretty busy but I only worked from Mondays to Thursdays and I spent weekends with Jo at home. We liked the outdoors and spent a lot of our time down by the creek or in the mountains.The wedding day was around the corner and Jo seemed to have everything under control, she wasn’t nervous or worried and I planned to take her to Turkey. She had said to surprise her when I asked her where she wanted to go and Levi had suggested Thailand where Jennifer liv

The sun shone brightly and the sky was clear. Everything seemed perfect. The light breeze moved through the guests that sat on either side of a make-shift aisle on white wooden chairs. The navy blue carpet held flower petals and they lifted gently in the breeze before settling down again.I stood on the hill, overlooking the meadow. Soft violin music started playing and Thalia smiled at me as we all turned to where Levi stood. I heard the horse before I saw them, and Jo smiled at me as she came into view. Levi helped her down from the horse and her father took her arm.My breath was caught in my throat. She was beautiful and I could hardly believe that she was marrying me. It felt like time stood still as she walked toward me. I took her hand as her father opened his mouth, looked at me and closed it again. I smiled, wondering what it was he wanted to say to me.“You look beautiful,” I whispered as we turned toward the minister and her eyes glistened as she smiled at me.“You don’t lo

Part 36

We had our first dance and cut the cake. I only gave her one look and she laughed as she fed me a piece. Everything was beautiful but I was ready for everyone to go home. I wanted the solitude of my ranch back and I wanted to be alone with Jo.She danced with her father while I danced with my mother. Thalia kept wiping her eyes and telling me how proud she was of me, that I had finally found the right woman and settled down. I handed her over to Levi before she could start talking about grandchildren.I looked around at everyone and tugged the cuffs of my jacket down. I was never going to be a conventional Alpha. I liked to follow my heart and do what felt right, so I did it. I danced with Dylan and then with Joseph. Thalia smiled as she watched me and Jo got the photographer to capture the moments.We didn’t do a sit-down dinner and people could eat from platters if and when they wanted to. We had two bartenders and they were definitely earning their money. I stood with Levi, with a

I groaned as my eyelids fluttered open and realized it was their voices that had woken me. The room was dark and I felt nauseous and lightheaded. I was lying on my bed and my hands instantly went to my chest before I shifted into a sitting position and swung my legs over the edge.I was alone in my room and I stood up slowly. My chest was more sensitive than my abdomen and the bullet wounds were still red. One of the bullets must have struck a rib, because I could feel it when I took a deep breath.I took the stairs down to the living room. Their voices were coming from the kitchen. I caught my reflection in the mirror on the living room wall and I looked a little pale. My hands shook slightly from blood loss but I didn’t feel as lightheaded anymore.Jules’ body wasn’t there anymore and all the blood had been cleaned up. The sliding doors had been cleaned as well and I couldn’t even smell the blood anymore. Everything was in its place and nothing seemed amiss. If I hadn’t been there m

Part 38

On Monday afternoon we flew to Turkey and arrived in Cappadocia late Tuesday afternoon. We spent four weeks there and it was amazing. We forgot about dead bodies in our living room and being shot at. We welcomed the tranquility.We stayed at the Kelebek Special Cave Hotel in the honeymoon suite and we didn’t leave our room for the first two days after checking in. Jo didn’t seem to mind and we moved from the bed to the shower and back to the bed again.On our third day there we ventured out to the pool and found another couple sitting on the edge with their feet in the water. I still couldn’t keep my hands off of her and I contemplated dragging her back to our room.The man looked up as we walked past them. “Whoa, the honeymooners are alive!”“Barely,” I said and the man barked out a laugh.“I’m David and this is my wife, Natasha,” he introduced themselves.“I’m Alex and my wife, Jo,” I said and we shook hands.“Where are you guys from?” He asked me as they got to their feet and joine

Part 39

Nine months after our honeymoon, Jo gave birth to a boy. We named him Regen. He was healthy, beautiful and perfect. At night when I woke up, I’d find her standing in his room, just looking at him and I couldn’t be happier.“I can’t believe we made him,” she whispered.“Yeah, I did all the hard work,” I replied and she hit me square in the chest.“I did all the heavy lifting!” She exclaimed.“What heavy lifting? You just carried him around everywhere you went. I’m the one that had to make you peanut butter and pickle sandwiches in the middle of the night,” I said, widening my eyes to add effect to my statement.“Yeah, I heard you complaining about the hormone overload and getting sex every night,” she said.“See? heavy lifting,” I said and she smacked me again.“You did not just say that!”“I just mean, I loved all of you,” I said and lifted my arms to protect my face as she smacked me again.“You said I looked beautiful!”“You looked like a beautiful little hippo,” I said and ran out

Part 40

I closed my laptop and turned the lamp on my desk off. The request had definitely piqued my interest. It was the first time I’d gotten such a high profile request and deep down I already knew that Malachi Sinclair was not the guilty party.There wasn’t much more that I could do so I went upstairs and climbed into bed. I switched the television off and moved up right against Jo. My mind was still running a mile a minute and I couldn’t stop thinking about Conrad Baugarten.I’d pack lighter than light. I wouldn’t be spending the night in Bowman. If I left that night after dinner, I could be there by 2 AM. It was a good time to break into his house and go through his records. I could be back by the time Jo and Regen got back from their baby class.At 6 AM, I got up with Jo, mainly because I hadn’t slept yet and I started making breakfast while she got Regen changed and dressed. I made coffee for both of us and put her cup down on the counter as she walked into the kitchen and put Regen in
