All Chapters of The Alpha's Fated Encounter: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

Luis grinned. “He has that effect on people.”It was nice to know I wasn’t the only one who’d felt the bizarre nature of the experience. Maybe Don and I would meet again. It would be nice to have someone like that in my corner in the future. I owed him one hell of a debt, and I hoped to God I’d be able to pay it off. As we soared over the ocean, I kept glancing out the window, hoping to see land but knowing that was still hours away. I’m coming, Maddy. I’ll be there soon.72MADDYThe moon tugged hard at me. It was like I had a thousand fishhooks in my skin being yanked toward the sky. Each day closer to the full moon made me feel more and more like I was going to lose my mind. My skin was tight and uncomfortable. I could almost trick myself into thinking I could feel my wolf right there beneath the skin, ready to explode out. My God, I wished she would. Then I’d finally have a way to fight back. At the moment, I would have killed for a massive, terrifying werewolf body to attack my c

“Duly noted,” Luis said.We hauled the chest of weapons out of the jet and set it in an SUV that Donatello had arranged for us. My nerves were still too fired up for me to drive, so Luis took over. The Alabama shifters and I sat in the back, loading the guns and getting them ready. It was a good way to keep my mind off wondering what was happening with Maddy and what Luis was going to do the next day.He’d go in with one of the tourist groups and find a way to peel off from the rest of the group. Then Luis would search as much as he could before finding a spot to hunker down and hide until closing. It was incredibly risky. He’d be, literally, in the lion’s den.Luis drove us to a hotel that was close enough to the castle that we could see it from our room on the sixth floor. Marcus and Darren went out to grab us dinner, leaving Luis and me to prepare for the next day.Luis tucked a small block of the plastic explosive into a fanny pack. The detonator went into a small side pocket.“Wh

Another wave of agony seized my guts, doubling me over in pain. One moment my birth mother was standing by the door, and the next, a wolf was nestling herself down around my body. Even in my pain and agony, my eyes widened in surprise. My mother had shifted. She was a shifter. What the fuck was going on? My thoughts and surprise vanished for a moment. The feel of her warmth, the softness of her fur, and the sound of her heartbeat lulled the pain away. Slowly, with the help of her comfort, the pain started to vanish. I didn’t know if it was because she was my mother or if she was a shifter. Either way, I was grateful for the relief.My true mother and father were the ones who raised me. They’d held me when I was sick and scared, had pretended to be Santa and the Tooth Fairy, and loved me unconditionally my whole life. They were my parents, but there was something about blood that was intense and unbreakable. Something the shifter side of me was unable to shrug off. Having my birth moth

NICOThe power. My God—the power that I felt. It was Maddy. I knew it was. As soon as I entered the tunnels, I felt it. I’d come in through the church above, as it had half the security of the royal estate. It also had the added benefit of being close to the vault. I shifted and sprinted down the hallway toward the feeling of power, toward Maddy’s scent, toward the sounds of screaming.As I got closer, three men ran past me, heading for an exit. The look of abject terror in their eyes gave me hope. Had I been in my human form, a broad smile would have been plastered on my face. The last corner revealed the doorway and the chamber where they’d taken Maddy. I sprinted in but slid to a stop, shocked by the sight that greeted me.Instead of the werewolf that I’d expected, she’d shifted into a regular wolf. She was massive, larger than me, and in my wolf form, I was a huge wolf. She was a head taller than I was and absolutely gorgeous. Her fur was the same color as her hair, dark and sleek

I stared at him like he was speaking another language. “What the hell? A scroll? Like The Dead Sea Scrolls?”He shrugged. “Basically. This Edemas guy wrote it. In fucking Latin. Randomly enough, Darren over there minored in it in college, and he was able to read it to us. To paraphrase, Edemas had visions of his betrayers searching for this vial. He’d hidden the scroll in the vault so that when the royals opened it, they’d see nothing and, hopefully, give up. He even sowed lies about where the treasure was. Apparently, it’s not in the graveyard Luis saw the guys guarding either. The scroll gave us the actual location of the treasure and the vial.”I sighed and rubbed my head. All these goddamned games. What was the point of it all? This was ridiculous. I was happy the royals didn’t have it, but I wished this wasn’t so difficult. “What is the real point of this vial?” I asked. “Some say it can create werewolves. Others say it can heal any disease, so what is really going on here?” My f
