Hi readers!
Thank you so much for reading my work, I'm truly humbled! I will be adding book two about Artis and Alpha Brock to the end of this book per the recommendation of my editor. I will be starting that book in the next month or so when I finish up the sequel for "Ice Princess". So the status of this book will remain as "Ongoing" until I finish Artis and Alpha Brock's book. Thank you all so much for the support and love! I have no title idea's yet for Artis and Brock's book buuuuuut I'm sure I will think of something soon!

Hello dear readers! In this book, you will see some character cross over if you have read my two previous books, however; these are all stand alones so there is no need to read the others before reading this one. If "split chapter" is written in the title, it means that there will be TWO POVs for that chapter. Also, this book will have scenes that can be triggering for readers, including: torture, allusions to rape, child abuse, kidnapping, and violence. This is your only warning before you proceed, so please be advised. There will be scenes of BDSM dynamic between our Male Lead and Female Lead, so if you aren't into kink or it makes you uncomfortable, please do not read any further. I hope that you enjoy Alpha of the Dead. --Sydney
(Siobhan’s P.O.V) “Alright, everyone! Settle down! We need to get this meeting underway!” Supervisory Special Agent Nerina Drummond calls out. Our entire unit, Unit 3, of the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit all take our seats around the amphitheater to get this meeting started. You knew it was going to be a bad case/day when your boss calls in the WHOLE unit instead of assigning the case to a specific team. Once everyone settles SSA Drummond powers up the projector to begin her presentation of the case. “As every one of you knows, we have seen a huge increase in child abductions in the state of California. Particularly in the northern half of the state. This has been a steady increase until the last few months; thirteen children have gone missing in the last two months.” There’s a sudden outburst of whispers and gasps, this is something that isn’t normal even in our line of work, working in crimes against children. SSA Drummond continues when the whispers sto
(Siobhan’s P.O.V) Waking up at the ass-crack of dawn was not what I wanted to do but we needed to get to California as soon as we possibly could. I meet Camilla at her apartment which was down the hall from mine so we could Uber together to the airport where we were meeting everyone else. When we get through security, we all stop at Starbucks near our gate to caffeinate ourselves before the long flight. Mmm, coffee Drink up little wolf, we are going to be running on nothing but caffeine and sarcasm for however long we are in California. Don’t need to tell me twice. Tala enjoys coffee just as much as I do, particularly when it’s early as all hell and we barely slept the night before because we were freaking the fuck out about going home. Don’t get me wrong, I love my parents and siblings, but I just never fully fit in with the family. We were the Beta family, known for being strong warriors and highly intelligent…except for me. I WASN’T a warrior, I hated unn
(Tiernan’s P.O.V) I was busy working at the construction and architecture firm that I own, now that my father had retired, when Patrick, my Beta walks in. “Well, the wayward Williams is on her way home.” He says, flopping himself down on the couch in my office. “Siobhan’s finally coming home?” I inquire. I had always been drawn to her, her beautiful dark hair and deep blue eyes that feel as if they are looking straight through your soul. She was petite when we were kids and not much of a fighter, but she was ridiculously smart. My wolf, Steele, perked up at the mention of Siobhan. He was equally as obsessed with her as I was. “Yeah, apparently she’s coming out here to look into the kidnappings.” He says. “Why is that any of her business?” “She works for the FBI remember?” He says incredulously. “Oh, right. I forgot.” I honestly had forgotten that she worked for the FBI, I didn’t keep tabs on her because I didn’t want to come across as creepy o
(Siobhan’s P.O.V) What the fuck is he doing!? Just because we are mates doesn’t give him the right to just grab me and try that shit with me. I’m furious right now, and this whole mate bond absolutely complicates our investigation because he’s going to be exhaustingly overbearing and annoying. When I get back out to the living area, everyone has their eyes averted but I can tell they are all smirking at the incident that just occurred. I growl, “Why are you here with the Alpha, Patrick?” “Because we were wanting to share information with you and your team.” He answers as Tiernan comes stomping out of my room, pouting like a child. “Well hurry up and say what you know. I’m exhausted, starving, and my patience is wearing thin.” I huff, narrowing my eyes at Tiernan. “Well, three of the children are human. However, five of the children are pups and cubs from different packs and sleuths, and five of the children are spell casters from two covens,” Patrick says. “Wait, no F
(Siobhan’s P.O.V) Camilla, Anders, and I are all visiting the families while Artis and Preston are going to visit the crime scenes to see if they can gather any information in the area from witnesses. It’s a long shot because there has been such a delay in our being invited in, but we can only hope for the best. The first family that we are visiting are members of my pack, Hallowed Manes, so I’m having to mentally prepare myself for encountering my mate. We stop at the gates and let the warriors know who we were and what our business was. “Well, hello there Siobhan, you’ve grown up quite nicely.” The warrior at the gate says, with a touch of lust in his eyes. “Please, put your dick BACK in your pants Luther, no one can see it without a microscope anyways,” I growl out. He was always an asshole and thought he was the Goddess’s gift to women; this comment though causes the other warriors at the gate to double over in laughter as Luther’s face turns red in anger
(Tiernan’s P.O.V) I couldn’t believe that Siobhan was my mate and that she basically rejected me without the actual words of rejection. What the hell?! Steele was whimpering in my mind, causing a dull ache in my chest not being near her. According to Steele, her wolf Tala wants to be with us but something that happened to Siobhan is holding her human counterpart back from accepting the mate bond. Siobhan was always beautiful, with her long black hair and her deep blue eyes always taking my breath away. She had an amazing figure, just like I remember, perky tits, a slim waist, and beautiful long legs. She was taller now, coming up to almost my chin, her long legs felt amazing being wrapped around my waist earlier. “So, what happened between you and Si to cause her to be so icy to you?” I ask Patrick, surprised by the icy greeting he got. “She hasn’t been home in almost a decade, and she doesn’t even really talk to us, so I don’t know why. I’ll ask her when she comes here
(Siobhan’s P.O.V) “What was that about?” I ask, directing the question to Patrick and Gamma Drake. “No idea, and even if I did it would be none of your business.” Patrick spits out at me, his glare matching Drake’s. “No need to get your panties in a bunch brother. You have no reason to be pissed off at me.” “Yes, I do! You are rejecting your mate bond with Ty! You know how we were raised, and you are basically shitting all over everything we were taught! Gran and PawPaw would be pissed if they knew about this!” He yells. At the mention of my Gran and PawPaw, I see red. “Fuck you, Pat! This is why I don’t come home! This is why I don’t call! All you guys do is see the things I do wrong, not the things I do right or the things that would make other parents and families proud of their daughter/sister.” “That’s always your response, blaming the family for bullshit.” With that, I stomp out of the office and head back to the SUV with Camilla and Anders followin
