A Damaged Alpha 40. Nikolai
I’ll admit I’ve been a moody prick about this ceremony for a while. If anybody had any sense they would have postponed it or just had a simple ceremony with their family and friends. Freya has to have what she wants. Spoilt rotten really. Why am I the only person in this room not realising that everyone of these prestigious guests are sitting ducks? It’s lunacy!. They’re sleeping in tents for fucks sake. Tents! Freya might as well make them all line up and expose their throats for the kill.I’ve got Vee in my arms, swirling her about her dancefloor and I feel absolutely wretched. I thought she hated me. I had Phillipe by the throat, ready to throttle him to death or simply take his head off before that freezing sensation got me. Revulsion, self-pitying shivers raced through my body. It gave me enough time to snap out of killing the worthless excuse of an Alpha.I don’t regret punching the bastard in the stomach though. He deserved at least that. My only regret is stopping at one hit.
A Damaged Alpha 41. Nikolai
The crowd were still clapping and cheering as the band prepared for the next song. Silence and hesitation met my question so I quickly leaned into her ear, trying to ignore the way her honey scent made me twitch with need.“I’ve failed you today. For my mate…my heart to feel so wretched about themselves…that's my failing. Dance with me again.”“I’m not perfect, you don’t need to say that” she flinched, looking away from me. Letting go of her hand I placed both of mine around her jaw, cupping her perfect face inches from mine. Fuck who saw me in love with her. My eyes flashed with ruby desire as I tried to make her understand. “I’ve been organising patrols, setting up extra fire torches and checking for rogue scents out there for five hours when I really should have been with you. So I’m sorry. I want to make it up to you.”The crowd watched, probably assuming I was planning to rip her head off but I was trying to win her over. The band struck, a lone violin lamenting. Hardly a sexy

You don’t need to be a Fate to know when your mate is ragingly pissed. The instant that glass smashed I knew./We should have told him/ Priya whimpered, doubling down on the dread pulsing from head to toe. I had been stood about, idly wondering just how far from the tents we’d need to wander for nobody to hear me moan. Now I felt my throat clench, razor blade scratchiness attacking.At the sound of the crashing glass, women in gowns shrieking to leap away from the splinters his eyes found mine. My mouth dropped open but no words, not even a mind link was possible. How do you tell the person you love the most you’ve purposely kept a huge part of yourself secret?How is it to ever be forgiven?I like to think I’m brave. I’ve got through losing my parents, I’ve started a new life in a pack I don’t know. I ‘ve even managed to overcome Nikolai treating me like shit for the first months of our mate bond. Seeing the look on his face was devastating. The way his dark brown whirlpools of his e

I didn’t need to wait another second. Mid-shift into my wolf form I picked up the dark murmur I feared the most. “Get her.” By the time I had sunk to four paws the sound of their ripping clothes and paws on the gravel shore swiftly followed./NIKOLAI PLEASE!/ I screamed over our mind link. I swerved as one almost clamped their jaw on my slender back leg. Using my speed I managed to dodge into clear space, sprinting along the gravel shoreline. I allowed Priya to take over our escape, her nimble feet bounded over every log, rock, and clump of roots. Flying, her sure balance guiding us up and away from the water, twisting in and out of the tree trunks. All control was ceded to my wolf. I was a rodeo clown holding on for the ride as we travelled so fast my vision blurred.My unknown hunters did not howl either, I guess to avoid drawing attention from the pack Beta’s guarding just a few hundred metres away. If I howled, I would draw away all the protection from the people sleeping, perha

I grabbed her just before her head smashed into the ground. She was completely limp. In panic I looked at her slender neck for signs of a dart, so quickly she had blanched and dropped as though tranquilised./I’m sorry son, are you hurt?/ my father's mind linked, his deep bass voice always a surprise. /I’m going to get your mother calm and come find you. She should never have said those things to Genevieve. You know we don’t blame her for this happening./Cradling her in my arms I struggled to reply. If my mother is out of control again then my father needs help as Alpha. He cannot retain control of this situation on his own. Pressing my forehead close to Vee’s I feel her pulse and soft breathing. It gives me the courage to be the Alpha of White Forest, my precious mate.“Help me put her safely in our tent. There has been no sign of disturbance there?”“I’ll help,” Cillian said flatly, his jaw clenched as fiercely as mine. Together we walked, I carried her in my arms whilst Cillian m

The soft sounds of my mother crying into his arms forced me to cough and interrupt their moment. My fathers dark eyes are glistening with tears, his knuckles white as they clamp my mothers hand to his heart. “I’m guessing you’ve overheard some of that,” he muttered, utterly unashamed of his love as he continued to softly caress and stroke her hair. “I wasn’t intending to eavesdrop, but I wanted to check how you were feeling after…well everything,” sitting next to my mother and taking her other hand. She looked up at my father and gave a nod, she agreed with his plan. “Nikolai, we are to abdicate. You are to rule as Alpha of White Forest. You need to guide the pack out of this mess and find the enemy. You have Genevieve by your side.” My voice hitched, there was a flaw in their perfect scheme. “Mother…you can’t leave. The pack will fail under me. The Fates told me I was to die young-” “The Fates are riddles darling. You are born to rule, why would the Moon Goddess rip you from you
A Damaged Alpha 46. Genevieve
Laying with my eyes closed I endured the sadness, anger and hurt rolling from Nikolai. Like a tide crashing against the rocks the darkness pressed against me painfully.In a strange moment of clarity I noticed there had never been waves of guilt around my parents death. Mentioning them did not send any sensations of fear, regret or even apprehension that a guilty person would have. There is no question in my heart that he had the slightest involvement in their death. He is all heart and passion. A black-haired shaggy beast with rough edges. Mine to tame.From the tone of Cillian it seemed he finally believed his innocence too. Now to fight for the impossible dream of two ego-driven Alpha’s working together successfully. There is more chance of me flying, the two being so stubborn.The raised voices had woken me. I trusted Nikolai not to shred Phillipe and he proved me correct. Knowing how Phillipe treats Freya, I do wish he’d landed another blow to his stomach. I stayed still and sile

The more detailed my description, the greyer his face became. He clenched me tightly in his arms. “That’s who I saw coming through Beta Tange’s territory, swapping vehicles and carrying a bag of, I assume more syringes into the Northern Territories.” “So who is she?” “I’ve only seen her that one time. My plan is once we have things steady here that we head up north and find her.” “We?” “I wasn’t joking about not leaving you in danger again. It’s not happening again. You know how riddled and twisted the Fates are, what if the reason I die is from heartbreak. What if I lost you and died from it?” My heart ached. I looked up at him, adoring the way his black hair fell in twisted locks down to his jaw. His sharp jawline and straight nose gave him a noble intelligence that I guess could appear cold to those who didn’t know him. His eyes held all the heat and love. Swirling chocolate and ruby that took my breath away every time. “I hadn’t thought about that.” “Well that’s what would
