First Alex Cross Novel Novels & Stories

Carllo takes it with trembling hands, muttering a frantic blessing to the pack leader. My head spins as the pieces finally click together. The way Andrew opened the carriage door for this man at the border... the way he caught him at the clinic when he stumbled... it wasn't out of romantic devotion. Andrew is an Alpha King who demands perfection from his pawns; he was simply ensuring his investment didn't break his neck before the old matron died.

she calls out, a smirk playing at her lips. She just had to end with another jab about the formal. Right when Axel was here. God, I’ll kill this girl someday. Axel, however, doesn’t seem to pick up on Corey’s final remark. His eyes are fixed on the book in front of me. “What are you reading?” “It’s… nothing. Just a story.” But almost as if he can sense my bluff, he flips the front page with ease, revealing the title sprawled in bold letters: LYCANTHROPY: HISTORY, MYTHS & OLD FOLKLORE.

The first clash between Rex and Thane split the courtyard apart. Rex struck mid-stride, two massive wolves colliding with a force that sent shockwaves through stone and bone. Claws raked, and teeth snapped. Power exploded outward in violent pulses that flattened the nearby guards. Thane wasn’t the same Alpha Rex had faced before. He moved faster and was stronger. Shadow wrapped around him like a second skin, evading strikes and strengthening his muscles. When Rex’s jaws clamped around his shoulder, the bite connected but darkness oozed instead of blood, curling up Rex’s muzzle like smoke.

Where his stepmother and her son lived too. Suddenly, it felt like five years ago, nervous and giddy, Alex, the cleaner's daughter, entered the house with Hayden's hand on hers. So trusting, I believed the smile on their faces and shared a hug with Ann, who told me to feel free to call her mother that day but warned me not to call her that a few days later when Hayden was not present. But I was a fool then, and I endured all that, telling myself that it was an honor to be a member of this family. I sighted the swing that I always came in the evening to clear my head and blame myself for wanting my fantasies instead of making do with what the moon goddess had given me, but after every sacrifi

The handwriting was neat, almost too neat, and it detailed every part of the children’s lives—their birth dates, milestones, even their favorite colors. **"Alex and Sophia, born on June 18th, 2019. They took their first steps at 10 months old. Alex loves dinosaurs, and Sophia is fascinated by space. They both excel in school, with Alex showing an interest in science and Sophia in art. Their mother… has done everything to keep them safe."** Lucifer clenched his jaw as he read on. **"You should have been there. You missed their first words, their first laughs, their first scraped knees. But you weren't, and that was by design. April hid them from you, kept them from you, and now you know the t

Chapter 136 || ALEXIS'S POV || A whiff of cold metal welcomed me as I stepped onto the border crossing. My boots crunched with each step, my eyes on the row of cargo rigs parked in line under the grey morning sky. The fog hadn't broken yet, and I was thankful for it. Less to see, fewer eyes on me. But even the fog wasn't able to hide the scent of treachery I was beginning to feel clawing at the back of my head.

The wall clock ticked like a judge passing sentence. Austin drew a breath. “That bandage. Tell me now.” Alexi hesitated. “It’s my problem.” “Alexi.” “I fell.” “You’re lying.” She glared at him. “Why do you care?” “Because I touched you,” Austin said. “And I can’t pretend it meant nothing.” Alexi smiled faintly. “You’re good with words.” “I’m honest. You know you were a virgin when I touched you.” He leaned in, whispering in her ear. “And I was the first man to touch you.”

It was a device. Alex phone. My blood ran cold. What was Alex's phone doing outside the streets? Together with the locket. I clenched my fist so hard that I could hear my bones cracking from pressure. It will only mean one thing. Alex had been kidnapped. And I was the first person he had called before it happened.

Our Alpha had gone through a ten years war with his wolf, turning him feral and unable to shift at all until he met his second chance mate Mina. I was afraid that I was turning into him into a feral wolf, but I was too ashamed to reach out and ask for help. I knew he would be able to help me, but it would come at a cost. I will have to admit my weakness of how I lost control of my own wolf. "What the heck is he doing here?" Raphael asked the moment he walked into his office, followed by Mina. "Before you get mad..." Silver started. "I'm already mad." Raphael snapped back.

My heart immediately began pounding harder as I stared at the dark stain spreading across the fabric. I tried to lift his shirt, but he stopped me. “What is this, Wyatt?” I asked, my heart racing inside my chest. “It’s nothing,” he muttered, pulling me toward him again, rendering me silent. “Caleb just got a few blows, but it’s over now. It’s finally over, Alex.” My breath hitched. “Did you kill him?” “I did,” he muttered. “The Carnage Pack is finally free.” I couldn’t help it anymore.
