All Chapters of After the Storm: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Alpha CarterI had made my decision.I needed to keep the respect of my pack.And the only way I could do that was to get revenge for my son.Their future Alpha.My son.The moment the pack had learned he was dead, I had seen the anger in their eyes.They wanted blood.They wanted someone to pay for what had happened to Archie.And, if I was being honest with myself, so did I.He was my son.My flesh and blood.The boy I had raised to one day lead this pack.The thought of someone taking his life was almost more than I could bear.So I had decided I was going to give my pack what they wanted.Revenge.But there was one problem.I couldn’t stop thinking about what Alpha Doyle had told me.His explanation should have been enough.Archie had attacked his fated mate.Beta Sean had intervened.Things had gotten out of control.And somehow, my son had ended up dead.That was the story Doyle had given me.But the more I thought about it…The less it made sense.The man Doyle had described di

Alpha DoyleI was fast asleep when a mind link suddenly pulled me from my sleep.Alpha, we need you.I sat upright immediately.The urgency in the warrior’s voice had every instinct inside me on high alert.Where are you?The northern border, Alpha.I threw the covers back.Okay. I’m on my way.I was already climbing out of bed when Storm sat up beside me.“What’s going on?”Her voice was thick with sleep, but the worried look on her face told me she was already awake enough to know something was wrong.“I’m needed at the northern border. It’s okay. Go back to sleep.”Storm stared at me.Then she threw the covers back.“No.”I looked at her.“Storm—”“I’m coming with you.”“You need to stay here with the children.”“I can fight.”“Storm, this could be dangerous.”“So could you going out there alone.”I sighed.I should have known better than to argue with her.Once Storm made up her mind, there was very little anyone could do to change it.“I’m not letting you come.”She folded her ar

Alpha DoyleI mind linked Sean the moment I left the cells.Sean, I need you in the cells.There was a brief silence before his response came.On my way.I didn’t need to explain why.If anyone was going to make Mike talk, it would be Sean.Sean was a highly skilled interrogator at the best of times. He knew how to read people. He knew when someone was lying, when they were holding something back, and, more importantly, he knew exactly how much pressure to apply to make them crack.But now…Now things were different.Sean had lost his mate.He had lost his son.And the man sitting in our cells had been involved with the people who had brought so much danger to our pack.I knew Sean was hurting.I knew there was a part of him that wanted someone to pay for everything he had lost.I also knew that Sean would never allow his emotions to interfere with his judgement.But they would make him more determined.More focused.More motivated to get the information we needed.And right now, I ne

MikeI watched Sean disappear through the cell door.The moment it slammed shut behind him, the fear I’d been desperately trying to keep under control finally broke through.I had screwed up.Badly.I pressed my back against the wall and dragged in a shaky breath.Cain.I’d said his name.I’d actually said it.After everything I’d done to protect myself, after all the lies and all the information I’d kept hidden…I’d finally cracked.And now Doyle knew.Sean knew.Celtic Moon knew.I looked towards the door.Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut.Maybe I should have taken whatever Sean was going to do to me and kept Cain’s name out of it.But then I remembered Sean raising his hand.I remembered the look in his eyes.And I knew I’d made the only choice I could.At least…That’s what I tried to tell myself.A strange sound came from the cell beside mine.I turned my head.The rogue was staring at me.Then he started laughing.Not a small laugh.Not even a normal laugh.He laughed hyst

CainTonight was the night.After weeks of planning, waiting, watching and gathering information, we were finally going to attack the Celtic Moon Pack.Except the plan wasn’t the plan anymore.Mike had ruined that.The information he’d given us had become almost useless after Doyle changed his patrol routes and tightened security.We no longer knew exactly where his warriors would be.We didn’t know which parts of the border were heavily guarded.And we certainly didn’t know how prepared Doyle was.But I wasn’t waiting any longer.Too much had already gone wrong.Mike had disappeared.The attack we’d planned hadn’t gone the way it should have.And now there was a very real possibility that Mike had talked.If he had…We needed to move before Doyle had time to prepare even further.I stood among my warriors, looking towards the distant Celtic Moon territory.“The northern border is our entry point.”One of my warriors nodded.“What about their patrols?”“We deal with them when we reach
