ALEXI"Babe. Just pick a damn date." Luke's frustration is showing.They've all been harassing me for a date for the Luna ceremony and I just can't decide.I turn to him. "Don't get cross with me, Alpha. I just can't pick a date out of thin air."He throws his hands up. "Why not?""Because. I want it to be special. It has to mean something." I really want this to be perfect.He steps closer. "Isn't the ceremony special enough?"I cross my arms. "No. It's my only ceremony and I want it to be perfect. You should understand that.""Do you guys seriously have to do this right now?" Lucy says as she fights off a Lycan who has her in a headlock. She breaks apart from him and kicks him in the head. Sending him to the floor.Luke turns and delivers a left hook to a Lycan who falls into three other guys behind him. "Yes. We have to do this now. Moms on my case." He's jumped and taken down. After wrestling, he gets the upper hand and shoots the guy.I draw my weapon and fire at a Lycan who was
LUKE"Hey, kids!......Josh, let's go!" I wave the boys all in from running around the open field of the park."Awe, come on, Uncle Luke." Josh stomps his feet as he and the other kids join the rest of us guys at the ceremony.I look down at him when he gets close placing my hand on his shoulder. "Cool the attitude, dude. This is Aunt Alexi's special day and you won't be ruining it for her."He looks down. "Okay." He mumbles."Good man." I clap his shoulder. I look to the other boys. "Now, you kids go find your moms. Don't need you guys getting all messed up before the ceremony." I arch a brow."Okay." Josh says. "Come on, guys." He waves at the kids and they run off between the white chairs set up in the park.I walk up the aisle with my hands in the pockets of my tux. Bobby, Jayson, Terry, River, Kale, Cass and Dea were all standing around at the altar."There he is." Bobby grins. "How ya doing, Alpha?""I thought I was gonna puke before the ball. This has got nothing on that. I'm go
LUKE Six months. It's been six months since I rolled my bike out of Jay's driveway. Six months into my retirement and I'm already sick of this place. I was sick of the unit. Sick of the kids. Now, I'm sick of Alpha Sam Jackson. My dad. My dad has been on my case about being reasonable and taking over the pack. I don't want this hell hole. Fuck. My sister, Lucy, would make a better Alpha. I don't want to be tied down. Be responsible for the garbage this town brings in. Let her have it. I will admit, since the Alliance took our Border Unit, things have gotten a little out of hand. Which was the reason why I originally came home in the first place. The Lycans. A biker gang. Rolled in six months ago and has the town on its knees. My dad can't seem to do a damn thing about it and he expects me to clean up his mess? No way. This is my last night in this dump and I'm out of this town and this area. I think I'll check out the Weat Coast. I hear the she wolves are hotter than hot out
LUKE"TO CALI!!!" We clink our glasses together.I'm sitting at a high-top table with the guys. In a bar downtown called Claws. Not a very good bar. You can bet on the fights happening here. But the alcohol flows and the women are fine.I'm sitting with a sexy brunette in my lap. Her name is Candy, I think. I don't really care. I grab a fresh beer and hold it up to her lips. "Blow on this, Baby." I smirk. She smiles and blows air across the top of the bottle. I pull her face to mine. "Mm... you do that so well." and I shove my tongue down her throat.Gavin slaps the table. "Luke. Hey....Luke...Remember the hottie in Morgan?"Evan looks between us with his brow up. I pull Candy's face off mine and start laughing. I point my beer to him. "The first and last time I ever fucking share with you. Dude, you're fucking embarrassing." I slam my bottle down and slide my hand up in between Candys boobs, pulling her into my chest so I can lick her neck.Bobby finished his beer and waved for six m
LUKE"OK. I'm not taking the pack, but I'm not leaving either." I walk into my dad's office after lunch.He leans on his desk. "That's good, son. What changed your mind?""Um, I got mugged." I said in a sarcastic tone. "This town has been swimming in the toilet for too long. Time to clean it up."My dad chuckles. "Good luck. I've been trying for years."I sit in a chair across from him. "I will. This has to end. I laid in the street bleeding and no one cared. That is not how a pack should be."He sat back. "Son, I won't discourage you, but you have to know the reality of the situation. The people here have given up. Given in to the criminal element. It's easier to fight with them then against them. You'll have a challenge."I lean to my father. "I've been up against some really sick fucks in the unit. This criminal element is nothing compared to that."My father got up and walked around his desk. He leaned on it crossing his arms. "Are you ok?"I slouch in my chair. "I'll live." I mum
ALEXIIt’s been a week now since my encounter with the drunk Alpha. He surprised me. Even in his drunken state, he put up a good fight. His style and form are definitely something that matches mine. His discipline on the other hand. That could use work.When I saw him after he called me out, I had to stop. His eyes. This color of almost chocolate gold. I had to force myself to break the lock. I was supposed to be pissed. The guy I had on the ground was about to give up the location of something I needed badly. If it wasn't for the drunk, I would have gotten it out of him. But instead, I had to spend the next three days tracking him down again.I should've killed the Alpha and I could've while he was on his back. But I looked at his face and what I felt confused me. I mean, I appreciate a handsome man, sure. But there was something.... Like all his features were perfect. His rugged skin flawless. His hair so dark and silky, my fingers wanted to grip it. When he looked into my eyes afte
LUKEIt's been days. I've been racking my brain. Trying to remember the details of my encounter with the fiery red head. The only way I'm going to find her is if I find that thing, I ripped off her neck.So that's why I'm in the alley. Grimacing at my humiliation. Looking down at the image of myself bleeding on the pavement. She beat me then. She won't get a second chance.I search the alley up and down. It has to be here. Then I see it. The sparkle tucked under the lip of a dumpster. I grab it and pick it up.A long chain. Not silver, but looks like it. On the end is a pendent. I hold it in my hand and run my thumb over it. A Dragon. Twisting in a circle. Breathing fire. I flip it over and there's a single letter 'A' inscribed on the back. I trace the letter with my finger then flip the pendent again."Dragon." I mutter to myself. Is it possible? Could the girl I've been dreaming about for over a week be a Dragon? I needed answers.As my thoughts drifted to her full, pink lips and sm
ALEXI I knock on the door of the little out of the way house. Nash. One of my father's First Commanders. He's not his Beta, but close. Also, he's my ex-lover. I thought he was dead until I ran into him eight months ago in Red Rock. His slim, strong body and rugged rough exterior is what I loved most about him. But what really attracted me to him, was his spirituality. He has this magic almost. If you need to forget or just release, he has a way to do it. He opens the door. His stark white hair is pulled back into a man bun. His brown eyes almost smile when they see me. He's wearing an open white shirt and thin white cotton pants. It's almost funny how he's making himself out to be all Shaman like. "I wasn't expecting you so soon." He let me in. "When you called, I started to prepare, but I'm not ready yet." I look around the very minimalistic state of his house. It almost doesn't look lived in. "That's fine. I'll have a tea and wait." He smiles. "I know the perfect one." A few m
