Alpha Pawn & Jewelry Novels & Stories

As she walked to the sink, she saw that there was female soap, shampoo, and conditioner on the counter above it. She hadn't noticed it yesterday, but now that she did, she was curious. Picking up each bottle, she checked them and saw that they were unopened. That meant that Alpha Clause must have bought them before the Land's mating ceremony as he expected to meet his mate. She let out a sigh and realized that she had felt jealous for a second that he had had another girl over in his room that used his shower.

Sam handed the photo to her. Allie stared at the picture, her eyes narrowing at the jersey he was sporting. It looked similar. "Who's he?" "Jake Brown. Alpha Hellhound. Football Captain for D.Campers. Typical jerk, frat boy." She stopped breathing for a second. Those descriptions matched the Alphas child she's carrying, and suddenly it felt too real. Killing someone who mirrored Nates profile made her such a sharp breath. It could have been him. And that thought made her stomach clench.

An amused expression filled her hazel eyes. "No, this is what an Alpha does when they return from a trip. We get shit organized." Paige let out a scoff. "Sure. Then I guess I'm just suppose to ignore the fact that you just got off the phone with Parker. And I also ignore the fact that you definitely aren't in here stewing over what possibly happened between Colette and her brother this morning." Paige mused, arching a brow. She seriously was too smart for her own good. Of course, she came here knowing exactly what I was up to. She always knew what I was up to. It was why she would make a great Beta. But it didn't mean it was any less annoying.

"Wow, son, why didn't you call me? I would've come sooner. I didn't even know you were this serious. Your dad isn't talking to me right now, but I felt something big was happening when I had to approve a fifteen-thousand-dollar charge from a jewelry store. I would've come so much faster." Eve choked. I just lifted my head and stared at my mother. "Thanks, Mom." She cringed. "Oops. Sorry." Then she pulled Eve close as they both stared at the ring. "You poor, poor girl. I know how hard all this is." I could see the confusion in Eve's eyes. I tried to fill in the blanks. "Certain humans naturally attract alphas more than others." "Stop, son," Mom interrupted, waving me off. "She doesn't need to

Something is still missing. I head to my jewelry box and look through it. I don’t have a lot of jewelry, but the day I took my place as Alpha, I received a pair of incredibly rare, blue pearl drop earrings as a gift. My best friends chipped in and gave them to me. They said they were proud to be life-long friends with me.

"She didn't. She needed me to get the door open and step back." Something shifted in his face that wasn't quite a smile. "She's going to be a remarkable Alpha," he said, like he was stating the weather forecast for somewhere obvious. "Co-Alpha," I said. "I don't want a Luna. I want a partner. Someone who tells me when I'm wrong and means it. Someone who doesn't perform deference and doesn't expect it. Someone who runs the pack with me rather than behind me." Dax stared at me. "Does she know you want that?"

she said, “Like earlier. It’s not menacing, just calling to me.” The buzzer clicked the door open, and we stepped inside the harshly lit pawn shop littered with instruments, lawn equipment, vintage clothing, antiques, comic books, pots, pans, old dusty books, paintings, assorted junk, and a display case of jewelry. The clerk, without looking up, said, “Well, I don’t have all night.” “Oh, we’re just looking,” Katla said. “We’re looking for a special piece. Something antique, in my favorite color, purple.” I had to give it to her, she was quick.

Seated beside him was the ever-annoying Adrian. “Hey, DP!” Adrian beamed, waving at me as we inched toward them. I rolled my eyes in response. Pleasantries were exchanged with the expert before we all took our seats around the coffee area. “Have you figured out what it is?” Xavier asked, resting his back against the sofa. “Yes, Alpha. Given the energy radiating from it, this is a very rare piece of jewelry that once belonged to a healer.” “What healer, and from which pack?” Xavier asked.

LEVI The Grand Hall of Lycaon Palace glittered with wealth, power, and enough political ambition to choke a wolf. Crystal chandeliers hung from the vaulted ceiling, casting golden light across polished marble floors. Nobles from all three realms filled the room in expensive gowns and tailored suits, their laughter blending with the soft music drifting from the orchestra balcony above. Tonight marked six months since my coronation as Alpha King. Six months since the Three Realms Alliance had officially recognized my authority.

Alphose hated being the bearer of bad news, but he had no choice. Silence descended after his report. He can see the wheels turning in the head of the Alpha King even without the drumming of his fingers rhythmically on the arm of his throne. Time passed. The Alpha King couldn't sit any longer, so he rose from his chair and began pacing in slow steady steps. Even such simple unconscious movement portrayed a lethal predatory action. He toyed with the huge diamond ring on his middle finger. The ring has two golden pearls like a crown attached to it. Always outstanding and sparkled most times, it's also very precious to Wolfariane.
