ALEXI"We hit the packhouse! It's the only way to take over this town." Ian yells."Bro, you're insane! It's suicide! We wouldn't get past the fucking security. We hit the town. Take the pack then the house. He'll have to give it up if he has nothing left." A large guy named Falcon, slammed his fist on the table. He stands and rubs his shaved head. "You know I'm right." Falcon is Ian's second in command. He was the second in command to the former Lycan leader, but when Ian killed him, he followed right along."Luke Jackson is our main threat. We show him who's the true Alpha. Bring the fight to him. If we don't show our power now, we will not be taken seriously when we take the pack. When the pack sees their Alpha Aire on his knees, they'll beg for their lives. Beg to me." Ian thumped his finger onto his chest.Falcon shook his head. "This isn't the time for personal vendettas, Ian. You're getting sloppy."Ian jumped the table and grabbed Falcon by the throat. "I'll show you sloppy!!"
LUKE I scrub my hands over my face. I'm leaning on my desk with all my evidence spread out. The photo of the pendent, the video, the articles. All of it. Laid out like a code I have to break. I know who she is, but I want to know why I fucking like her so much. I should want to slit her throat. Her family has killed so many people and here I am wanting to slam her down on my bed and have my way with her. I look at everything. Trying to figure out why I'm so attracted to her, when a knock came on my door. "Just a minute." I quickly gather everything and throw it in a drawer. I clear my throat and sit at my desk normally. "Come." I bark. My father pokes his head in. "Settled in?" He walks in with his hands in his pockets. I look around. "I guess so. I'm not really the office type." "Listen, son. I know things have not been the greatest here. With this town and with me. And I know you believe that I don't care...." He looks at the floor. I sit back. "No....dad...that's not it, ok.
LUKE Dust clouds rise from the dumpster as I dump a box of wood, drywall and trash into it. My shirtless chest is dripping with sweat. My jeans covering in dirt and dust. I stop and grab a bottle of water. I take a drink. It's hot today, but my body isn't hot from the sun. Rage fills me. The thought that Ian almost killed everyone I've ever known, has me salivating for blood. I will get that blood, but I need to take care of my people first. For my own mental stability, I will rebuild my own house. Show Ian that I'm not going anywhere. It's been a few days since the attack. I spent the early morning checking in with everyone to see how they’re holding up. Joshua has been having nightmares every night. I don't blame him because so have I. I settled my mother and called the Falcon Ridge hospital. Lucy is almost healed. Bobbys spine is healing slower than expected, but he's gained a tiny bit of feeling. I look at the plastic draping the gaping hole of the house I grew up in, blowing
ALEXII've been watching the Alpha all day. The destruction of his home was not what I had expected. He's on my list of targets, but seeing him in such pain has my heart mourning for him.I watched him as he struggled with his leadership. Doubting himself. Telling his friend how weak he feels. It hurt me to hear such talk because I know how much of a leader he could be.I feel a twinge of guilt. When I agreed to Ian's attack on the packhouse, I wasn't aware this is what they meant to do.Destroying a man's home, with little ones inside, is beyond deplorable. I feel like I should let the Alpha know I see no honor in this.I didn't move all day. I sat and watched over him. Somewhere inside, I felt I needed to be present in case the Lycans attacked him again.In the dark of night, I may have moved a little too close as he sensed my presence."Come out." He barked.I cautiously approach. Showing him, I mean no harm. I remove my hood and step into light.He never looks at me. "What do you
LUKEI couldn't sleep so I had to preoccupy my mind.Alexi showing up the other day did not sit well with me. The fact that she tried to pity me, pissed me off to no end. She knows who did this and where they are, yet she chooses them for some reason.I don't even know why she'd even feel sorry for me anyway. Every time we see each other, she wants to fucking kill me. Yet, she's always letting me go. You'd think she'd be happy to see my life like this. I know her dad would just love this shit.It frustrates me to no end that I can't read her. She hates me, threatens me, but then cares whether I got hurt or not?I felt sick yelling at her. But I couldn't help it. Who she is. Who she hangs with, I can't deal with that. I know, as Alpha, I should just turn her in. Get her the fuck out of my life forever. But there's this part. This one fucking part that's stopping me from calling the damn Unit. It's like a voice in the back of my mind that says don't.My wolf has been going crazy too the
ALEXII twirl Luke’s keys around my finger as I walk into the hunting cabin.I drop the bag I'm carrying on the table. I open it and pull out some food, three guns and a bunch of silver bullets. These guns will be for those who aren't important.I sit on the floor and eat. As I do my mind travels to the night with Luke. It's been two days since and I've dreamed about it every night. The walls in my mind are starting to crack. I couldn't be there when he woke or they'd be destroyed and I can't have that.I pull out my phone and pull up the map of the Caledon Boot Camp. I orient myself and search for the building which holds my target.I'm staring at my phone when a flash of Luke's strong back comes to my mind. I shake my head.I zoom in and swipe the map around. I study the area around the buildings intently.Lukes arms wrapping around me flash now. Ugh....I shut my phone off and shove it in my pocket."Come on, Alexi." I stand up and pace. "It wasn't even that good."I'm lying to myse
ALEXIIt's quiet.My victory is close. I can almost taste it.The camp is dark except for a few outdoor lights. Everyone tucked in bed after the days training.Standing on top of the dorm building, I disable the alarm and pick the lock of the roof door, letting myself in. I walk down the stairs to the floor Anna Rikers room is on. I slowly walk down the hall.I'm silent like a wolf stalking its prey. Years of stealth training from my father are proving useful now.I turn down a hall and hear voices. I plant myself against the wall with my gun drawn. I slow my breathing as the voices approach.The two girls were laughing and giggling. They walk past the hall I was in without even a glance. Once past, I blow out a breath. I look down the hall and continue to look at the numbers on the doors. After several, I find it. Room 401. I look up and down the hall again and pick the lock.I open the door and slip in silently. Shutting the door behind me, I raise my gun. I search around the room.
LUKE"Are you fucking insane!" River yells in my face.I tick my jaw. "Back the fuck up!" I warn. Pushing my already puffed out chest into his.Jayson gets between us. Shoving River back. "Luke, what's going on, man?"I turn, rubbing my head. I can't tell them that I've been falling for a girl that tried to kill one of the most famous Alliance Alphas."Nothing." I grumble.River pushes past Jayson. "You fucking tell us!" He aggressively points a finger at me.Spinning around, I shove a finger back in his face. "I'll fucking kill you if you don't back the fuck off me!" I growl. My face is twisted with anger and stress.Dea grabbed River's arm. Putting himself between him and me. "Dude, back off alright. Calm down a bit.""Calm down!" River pushes against Dea. "Hes dating a fucking psychopath and you want me to fucking calm down?""We're not dating." I grind. At least I don't think we are.River glares. "Fine. You're sleeping with a lunatic. That better?"I turn, scrubbing a hand down m
