Cael Hughes Novels & Stories

Diego: “You could have been badly hurt, Diego. How could you go to them when you know that they are not allies? They could have killed…” “The Alpha and Beta are Lea’s great uncle and grandfather.” I said, stopping mom. Renata, who was sitting on the couch, looking as proud as she was, straightened just as both Lea and Giovanni entered the living room.

“And more specifically, what the Hell's going on? What the hell did they do? Or is it one?” “Rogues. They've been roaming around too close, looking, searching, as if waiting for something to happen.” Alessandro replied, quick and clipped. “Two sightings near the east perimeter. Patrol brought one down, the other escaped. The body’s in the courtyard. It’s… not clean. I don't know how to explain it better than this.” “Not clean?” I asked, trying to process what he was saying. “I believe that the best way to it would be through words. You know, you can use your mouth to speak.”

A man walked by his side, and I assumed that it was his father, Elijah, approached us, and looking at Katerina he froze for a second before shaking his head, snapping himself out of whatever daze he fell into. “Alpha Domenico” he said, looking at the Lycan who smiled. “Elijah, it is nice seeing you here” “I am part of the city’s businessmen, it is only right to attend such social events” he said, smiling at him before turning to face Katerina and I “my apologies for my rudeness. I’m Elijah Grimaldi, and this is my wife, Sophia Grimaldi”

He jogged over, wearing the kind of smile that had gotten him into and out of trouble more times than he deserved. “Didn’t know we had new observers out here,” he said, flashing a grin first at me, then lingering on Elena. “You don’t look like trainers, but I wouldn’t mind a lesson.” Elena blinked, unmoved. I raised an eyebrow, hiding a smirk. “You always flirt with strange women walking the edge of your training field?” I asked. “Only the beautiful ones,” he shot back without missing a beat. “I’m Cael, by the way. Warrior in training. But don’t let the ‘training’ part fool you.”

If it were me from the past, I would have killed your entire family for being this arrogant. Caelum Hughes held his long, thin cigar and said, "Mr. Harvey. Elder Lee isn't as sincere as young people like us. He had fought in the Underworld for years and has slain more people than you have ever seen. He's already showing you much respect by giving you a 20-dollar bill.

“Men like him don’t play for money, they play for control. And he is spiking because he can tell she is new to this.” “I know,” I said quietly. “And he’s not the only one. We just need to be sure that she is safe.” When the call ended, I stood there for a long time, staring at the city through the glass. Valerie was finally finding her footing again, and now another predator was circling. I picked up my phone again and called Hunter. “Alpha…?” “Send word to Caleb,” I ordered, not wasting time. “He’s taking over as our shadow lawyer for Valerie’s firm. Rosalyn will brief him on the rest. And, Hunter…”

We were both weak and stiff. “I’m sorry Eira, for betraying you. The offer was mind blowing. I need this money to pay bills. Besides, he said he was your mate and you wanted to reject him. It won’t be bad if you give him a chance since I can't have one anymore with you,” Caleb said. Bastard! He was a big bastard. Has he always been this greedy and stupid? How could he give me out to someone he didn’t know because he needed money? He picked money over me. Stupid fool.

“My stomach dropped. James’s expression turned serious. “Whatever is happening between you and Alpha Adrian… you should end it now, Rox. You don’t want that kind of trouble.” The bell rang, cutting off any reply. We stood and regrouped. Jack and the other alphas,except Adrian,waited at the front. One of them stepped forward: a tall man with his hair tied in a man bun and a neatly trimmed goatee. “Now that most of you have gotten the hang of the single-leg lateral hops with the bear hug,” he said, scanning our tired faces, “we’ll move on to the next exercise. He offered a small smile. “In case you forgot, I’m Liam, Alpha of the Moonlight Pack.”

She has always taken advantage of it at the wrong time. “I will do it. You don't have to pay me,” She began while trailing her hands from his well-built chest to his shoulders, but Alexander swat her hands away before she would trail them up to his lips. Talking about someone who was more insane than Ava was around John – Felicia was at the top of that chart.
