Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 15: Hating The Rogue
Mist clears away from my eyes and I can see the bed ceiling clearly now. I turn my neck and find Jai-Blynn standing there with his arms crossed. I have memories in my head, but it's not of the beta. Zeke is carrying me bridal style and the look on his face is primal fear. There's chaos around me before it goes black again. Zeke was here. I can tell because the images in my head may seem distorted, but they actually happened. I feel it. Jai-Blynn notices I'm awake and breaks a small smile. He whispers. "Hey. How are you?" I nod, still scanning my gaze around the room. "Peachy." "You scared me for a second." He plants himself by my side on the bed, and I don't recoil. I am warming up to the beta. "Where is Zeke?" My question hangs unanswered for a minute and I see him clench his jaw and avert his gaze to the door. The aura I sense is weird. I can't grasp it. I repeat louder. "Is something wrong? Where's Zeke?" He snaps his neck back at me and smiles easily. "No, Mare. Nothing
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 16: Where Loyalties Lie
It's been two days. I've not said a word to Zeke after that night, and it doesn't bother me. Jai-Blynn keeps me company whenever he can, but I usually hate the morning hours when everyone leaves and I'm all alone. It's that time of the day now and I'm looking for what to busy myself with. I've finished setting up the rubik's cube on the living room's glass table. I can go another round, but I'll leave that for tomorrow. My eyes scan the enormous house. The wheels in my head are turning. I pick the remote and turn on the flat screen. There's a woman in there forecasting the weather. She says it will rain a lot in the coming days with thunderstorms. I flip to the next channel and I find a rom-com showing. The female lead is being maltreated by her family and husband, but she will later rise again to have her revenge. It is catchy, but I eventually fall asleep on the living room couch. In my dreams, I am back in Carodia. My mother is with me and I see her smiling. I never want to wake
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 17: Possessive
ZEKE: I change into gym shorts and a sleeveless black vest and I head to the basement, intending to clear my head. She was getting on my nerves and yet invading my thoughts. I can't work my way around it, but I fear Marelyn Everdeen and what she's doing to my sanity. I jog down the stairs and slip on the bag gloves hanging on the opposite wall as I cross the chain wall entrance. This child is a must. I'll lose a lot more than I already have if this does not work out. Marelyn will birth my child safely, no matter the cost. "Can I help you?" I say as I face the black heavy bag and punch repeatedly. Drusila steps into the room, making her presence known, but I do not turn to address her. My fists do not relent from the padded bag. In less than five minutes, sweat beads my forehead, dripping and mapping the under arms of my vest. "Kyra just arrived. We'll start preparations for the pack gathering when you're ready." She starts when I successfully ignore her. "You know what you have t
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 18: Ace of Spades
MARE: I'm staring at myself in the mirror with my heart beating hard in my chest. Kyra heard Jai-Blynn and I planning my escape yesterday. I know she doesn't like me and I'm waiting for Zeke to barge in and torture me for going against our agreement. But if I can survive today, then it will all be over. Drusila put me in a dark red ruched high-slit gown and a red veil for the occasion. Jai-Blynn told me all about today's event before Zeke took him off my watch last night. It's Moon Grove's annual pack gathering, and the alpha intends to introduce me to his wolves. "Are you ready?" I gasp and whip my head around. Kyra stands there in a black ankle-length slip dress. My heart skipped for a minute. I realize she's alone and not with a train of guards wanting to roust me. "I've been trapped in here against my will. Of course, I'm ready to see new faces." I toss the veil over my face again and rise to my feet. Kyra asked what my relationship with Jai-Blynn was when she found us in tha
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 19: In Between Hearts
I intend to only grab a glass of water from the kitchen, but my scattered brain makes me walk past it without noticing. I realize myself too late because when I turn around, a hand reaches out and pulls me into the door at my side. The door closes behind me and my eyes find a rock-hard chest levelled with my face. It's Jai-Blynn. I let out a sigh of relief, placing a hand over my heart to calm its racing beats. I thought I was in trouble. Maybe I am. "Hey," he says, smiling. I see myself smiling too, and maybe I was gone without even noticing, like Kyra said. "Hey." I breathe. "It's a whole crowd out there just for you." He brushes away a fallen strand of hair from my face and tucks it behind my ear. "I know, but it means nothing to me." I search his gaze as he does mine. His face is so close that his hot breath on my skin leaves tingles in its wake. His eyes flick to my lips before he asks. "Did you read my note?" I realize my slip up, and I look at my open palm, only to f
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 20: Lies of Omission
I changed out of the red dress hours later. Drusila dressed me up in a strapless silver tulle gown with layers for the full moon. I had a hard time hiding the thigh holster Jai had given me from her, but she didn't see it, eventually. I was lucky enough. When I return to our table, Zeke still asks that I socialize with the crowd, and I do so, but they are all treating me like a goddess who's visiting the earth. They are worshipping the ground I walk on and I don't want that because I don't think I deserve it. I'm also on edge. The thought of everything I have to do fills me with angst. I'm alone until I flee through the tunnel and find whoever Jai-Blynn says will wait for me on the other side. If I do not escape today while everyone is distracted and Zeke's patrol has their guard lowered, I will never have my chance again. The pack gathering happens only once a year. I excuse myself from the circle, hounding me with questions. Zeke's eyes are on me the entire time, but I do not retu
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 21: The Wrong Turn
Horror masks my face. I stutter. "Wh-What do you mean?" "Alpha Zeke knew the moon goddess will reject his mate's child, so he sunk his hands into the dark to look for help. He asked a witch to bypass the goddess's curse and then he will dedicate his heir to their coven. It backfired when the plan fell through and she rejected the child on a night like this. The cunning witch returned for her cut. It was a life for a life." I gasp as my shaking hands shield my mouth. Tears drop one after the other. What is really going on here? "How do you even know all of this?" I sniffle, and my voice breaks. Frida stares off at the green flowers and plants coating this patio. Her eyes are distant as she says, "Because Scarlett Burns is my sister. She's family, Mare. The alpha killed her." I'm confused about what to believe. Drusila's voice in my head plays like a broken record. My trust is not sufficient for all the offers coming in. I can't tell who deserves it. She continues. "He raised the s
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 22: Escaping The Rogue
MARE: I scream, but the surge of water into my system shuts me up. I'm plunged beneath the surface again and all sounds drown out. The water is dark around me and the deeper I go, the lesser my eyes work. I struggle to swim up again, but the force pulling me down is great. It's worse because I can't figure out what it is. I thrash my legs violently and when my head shoots over the surface, I suck in as much air as I can. The metal door is just an arm's stretch away. I pluck out the key from beneath my tongue and shove it into the lock, begging my luck to shine this once. I can't just break it open, because then he'll know. "Come on." I mutter into the deafening silence surrounding me. "Come on." My shaking hands are not even helping matters. I will and will the door to budge, but it still doesn't. My wolf panics within me. She thinks we are going to die and I do too. I'm plunged underwater again and this time, the force is something I can't fight. They say I have far greater abi
