Death To The Alpha Chapter 30: Snooping
~Ivy POV~ Orange and yellow hues are just peeking over the horizon, filtering through the kitchen windows as I reach into the cupboard to pull out the coffee container. By the time I made it back here last night, Sarah had been passed out in her room. I wanted to wake her up and tell her she would be safe soon. That I wouldn’t let anyone hurt her anymore, but what she needs more than anything is sleep. And I need to press her a little for information on where she meets the dickface who hurts her. I have no doubt that he meets her in different places. One thing Alpha Jonathon is not is stupid. I wish I could say he is a burly, brainless man with a knack for killing, but it would be a lie. He is annoyingly smart and knows most want him dead. It’s no wonder his daughter betrayed him and the pack. Ok, so I don’t know the details that lead to her betrayal or what she even did. But if she acted against her father, then she must be freaking awesome. The wooden floorboards creak behind me
Death To The Alpha Chapter 31: Enzo...I mean James
As I walk into the kitchen, I stop and watch Sarah as she moves about. She always has had an air of grace when she cleans or cooks, but she seems different now. Almost like… she is relying on muscle memory. A dancer who knows the moves but has no emotions attached to the movements.“What are you doing?” I frown at her as she grabs a pot and fills it with water.“I am making breakfast.” She says, looking at me like I’m the one that’s strange. “Sara, I already talked to James about your not being well. He agreed you could have the day off.” I move to her and take the full pot out of her hands, placing it on the counter next to the stove.“You shouldn’t have done that,” she sighs, her hands dropping to her sides. “I don’t enjoy appearing weak in front of them.”I scoff. “Weak? Are you kidding me? You are here. Alive and thriving at your job while going through the worst shit anyone, in my opinion, can go through. You are anything but weak.”She peeks around me, looking at the empty doo
Death To The Alpha Chapter 32: Whose name
“What did you say?” He asks, his eyes are foggy with desire as he blinks down at me. “What?” I ask, trying to come out of the clouds.“You called me… Enz… As in Enzo?” James snatches his hands from my pants and I stare at him. Did I really? I don’t think I did.., but then the room comes more into focus and I’m not in the safety of my bed, the hand on my bare skin isn’t calloused but soft and gentle. Why the hell is Enzo in my head at a moment like this…“I… I don’t know why I said that.” I tell him. Obviously, I know why I would say that. But I don’t know why it came out when it did. It’s not like I don’t know I am with James right now. How could I not? So why did my mind trick me into thinking it was someone else? I like James, so there was no reason for me to be thinking about Enzo right now other than guilt for feeling like I am betraying our mission and his trust. “Do you have some sick, twisted crush on your slave trader?” James asks, sitting up on me as he straddles my waist.
Death To The Alpha Chapter 33: Oblivious Otis
~Enzo POV~I allow my wolf to take over as I run for the trees, sprinting as far as I can. Ivy is letting her feelings overshadow her sound judgment and I’m left looking like the bad guy for calling her out on it. As a man with feelings for her, I hate it more than I can verbalize. But as the protector assigned to her and the man who promised to keep her safe from all harm? It’s killing me. Her stubbornness and naivety are going to get us both killed.I make it to the pack borders in record time and pace along the line, shifting into my human form as I try to clear my mind. All I can do is think about how she smelled like him, how she was aroused… for him. My chest constricts and I pound on it, releasing an agonizing scream that reverberates off the trees. It sounds just as melancholy, echoing back to me as it did, ripping from my lips.I drop to the ground after taking a pair of spare shorts out from one of the dead tree trunks that the pack has around their lands for warriors when t
Death To The Alpha Chapter 34: Cold Cells
“I hear you met Otis,” James asks from behind me as I walk down Haley’s hall to the bathroom. Lucky me, I came earlier than intended because of Otis’s stalking and I caught the tail end of James and Haley’s meeting. I stop and my head falls back in annoyance. It’s been three days since I have been able to get close to Ivy. Three days since I had to stand near her and smell him on her. And at the risk of sounding dramatic, it’s been three terrible fucking days. It’s proving damn near impossible to avoid Otis, who seems to work twelve-hour shifts on me. I know it takes time to learn someone’s habits, and how they act and move, but Otis played dumb with me because he doesn’t think I’m a problem. This means I need to keep him thinking I’m not a problem by being boring and aloof. It’s far more taxing than it sounds. “Yeah, seems like a nice enough guy,” I say, turning to face James and crossing my arms over my chest. “He seems to think you don’t do a whole lot around the pack.” I sh
Death To The Alpha Chapter 35: An Ally
~Ivy POV~Sarah has been fidgety all day. I’m sure it’s her nerves, but if she keeps jumping at every tiny sound, then she is going to get herself caught before we even get the chance to walk out the door. The plan seems simple enough, but the problem with simple plans is shit always goes awry. “Sarah, you need to calm down,” I hiss as she jumps when a pan clatters in the sink. She closes her eyes and clutches at her heart, then she nods her head.“I’m sorry, Ivy,” she whispers.“Only a couple more minutes. Then we will make our way out of the house. Okay?” I give her a small smile and she nods. The doorbell rings and she nearly hits the ceiling in shock. I give her a frown and move for the door, pulling it open to see two large warriors looking perpetually perturbed. “I take it you are here to see Alpha James?” I ask, lifting a brow. “No.” one man says, sliding a look at his partner before clearing his throat.I lean on the door frame, a bad feeling settling over me. If they aren’
Death To The Alpha Chapter 36: We need to talk
“Are you sure we can trust him?” I ask, sprinting through the trees behind Enzo.He doesn’t even bother to look back at me. He knows I’m close to him, even if I weren’t talking. We spent so much time training together in the more recent years that we can feel each other. The vibrations of the earth and the shift of the air. All things they taught us to pay attention to.“The only person I trust is you.” He murmurs, slowing his speed and pressing against a tree. I mirror his actions and glance around, but I see nothing and no one. “And sometimes even that trust is scarce,” he finishes as he steps out, his eyes always scanning, searching for anything out of place. I try not to let his words bother me. All I wanted was a little reassurance that Sarah was with someone we trusted and instead of comforting me and saying ‘Yeah Ivy, he is fucking great’, I’m met with learning it’s hard for him to trust me. Which, to put it lightly, fucking sucks. Enzo sighs and turns to face me before grabbi
Death To The Alpha Chapter 37: Blood on your hands
“Then talk,” I say, crossing my arms over my chest. “Get dressed first,” Enzo says, pointing to a pile of clothes on the bed that I hadn’t seen him enter the room with. I toss the blankets off and brush past him, grabbing the pants and slipping them on under the towel and the long sweatshirt. Then I shuck off his sweater, laying it to the side and grab the sports bra and pull it on over as my towel slides off. I turn to face Enzo as I pull the fresh shirt over my head, realizing these are from the reserves from going on a run. One thing the pack is actually good at is having an array of clothing stockpiled all over the pack, so no one is running around naked after a shift.I throw my hands out and do a spin to showcase how dressed I am, and then I cross my arms again. There is no way I’m not coming off like a petulant teenager with how I am acting, but in my defense, Enzo has been keeping this from me.Never mind that I have been getting them too and haven’t told him. He has been wit
