Alex Ernst Novels & Stories

Valerian answered, waving at the unfamiliar old man. I linked my eyes with Father and the frown that was aimed at me made my heart skip a beat. I hadn’t done anything wrong but I couldn’t control my racing heart. Bad things always happened to me whenever Father frowned because of me. “King Iyrick,” Valerian greeted with a slight bow. I followed suit behind him. “Crown Prince Valerian.” Something about the way the king called Valerian’s name gave me the creeps. I raised my head to meet his awkward stare.

Judging from Ernest's unperturbed demeanor, as if he wouldn't flinch even if the sky fell, it seemed highly likely that the lady was telling the truth. It made sense why Callum and Hugo were so confident. The Lambert family had actually aligned with such a significant figure. Ernest was a revolutionary. Even setting aside his status, his son was now a high-ranking general, someone Kane could not provoke. "Don't be rude!" Ernest suddenly scolded Sherlyn and then turned to Hugo. "Have you killed anyone, Hugo?" Startled, Hugo quickly replied, "I haven't, Mr. Holt." "Have you injured anyone?" Injured? Hugo thought that Ernest was likely referring to the incident with Kane.

He has to be harsh to someone who was once his best friend. Shane gets on his cell and within minutes the door to our SUV opens and Adrian's face appears in the doorway. He starts sniffing the air and lets out a low growl. These are all signs indicating that he can smell his mate but there are only men in here. "MATE!" I hear a growl from behind me and quickly remember that Alpha Harold's daughter is also in here with us. How the fuck did I forget that? "MATE!" echos through the SUV as Adrain growls low before getting inside and staring at her. It's also at this point that I realize that I don't even know her name.

I said, smiling at him and extending my hand out to shake his hand. His eyes turn dark for a mere second, and then his lip tugs slightly into a smirk. The big scar over his left eye made him look even more mysterious, just as Ricky had told me. "Luna Dannelly. It's a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for the invitation. I apologize for my lack of communication and for not responding to your invitation. I've been so busy. I thought I wasn't going to be able to make it, but, I just couldn't miss today. Alarick is a good friend and I just had to come and greet the old Rascal." he says, smiling. He delicately grabs my hand, pulling it forward and placing a kiss on my knuckles.

Sera moved back to where Maeve and Drake were standing with an undecipherable expression “No questions, Alpha.” and “No, sir.” echoed in the room before I dismissed everyone. When I turned to look at Sera, she was chewing on her lower lip. ‘We have company.’ Drake mind-linked me. I looked over at him, confused. ‘Who?’ ‘East border, a wolf named Elner. Says he was sent by AL-PHA Alisster.’ Using a title when it wasn’t given to you was wrong in so many ways. It was boy’s such as Allister who deserved to be put down for their blatant disrespect.

My comment seems to have snapped Alpha Wyatt out of whatever battle he was in with his son as he looks over at me and gives me a tense smile. “Ashleigh, likewise, I hope you have had a proactive morning,” his eyes flicker behind me to Derek and then back to Zander with a frustrated look. “When someone contacted me saying the Luna knocked out one of my top warriors, I had to come and see what all the fuss was about.” Shit, was it really about that or that I, a woman, joined in with training today.

Osiris frowns, but takes a seat, his eyes fixed on Nero, bracing himself for what comes next. “Nero found out something about Morana,” I start, trying to ease into the conversation, “about her wolf.” Osiris’s brow furrows in confusion. “Morana? What about her wolf?” “It’s not just her wolf, Osiris,” Nero takes over. “When I used my Alpha Sight on Morana, I found out that there’s something attached to it called a Meraloth—an ancient entity that feeds on memories. And we believe it’s responsible for the memory losses both you and Camellia experienced.”

Somewhere in this world, his old mate was still alive. "I couldn’t sense her... was it because her wolf was down with her in that coma?" "Or because she didn’t want to be found," I answered my wolf as I walked back to my desk. I picked up the encrypted phone and called Nino and Leo. I was being a hell of a lot more careful now when it came to cybersecurity. I’d never stopped to think that Alina’s father had been one of the men who designed the whole system my empire stands on. The man was dead, but maybe Alina, a woman I’d never given much credit beyond a pretty face and polished poise, knew a lot more than I’d ever assumed.

Alpha Daltons POV I was running so hard and the anger inside me was so consuming that I missed the trail to Green Cove. I circled back and ran down the trail where I saw my Beta and Gamma sitting on the lake bank behind some large bushes. I skidded to a halt right next to them and lowered myself on to my haunches. “Hey y’all, someone left me another jar on the damn porch again this morning so excuse me if I’m a little late.” Nick growled low and mind linked the both of us, “These mother fuckers are gonna keep on with us and there gonna be a blood bath on their hands.” I huffed in agreement. I kept my eyes trained on the bank of the other side of the lake. I saw the park rangers, forensic tea

He plays the footage from the camera flash he got from the lab. We carefully watch everything in the video. Alpha Tate’s wolf wasn’t comfortable seeing it again, he’s growling and radiating anger energy from his body, but we had to watch it. It’s the only way to know who these scientists are. “There.” He points at the screen. Oliver pauses the video, taking it back a little and stops at the face of one of the doctors. “Isn’t that Justin’s father?” Oliver asks, staring at the screen intensely. He does look exactly like Justin though.
