In the Chains of the Alpha Tara's Experience
It was hours later, with tired and scared pups in a confined space, it was difficult for all the adult wolves. Tempers were flaring, and Tara was feeling it quite keenly. The she-wolves that hauled her down there basically lectured her for mostly when they weren’t trying to keep the pups amused. Tara couldn’t help but feel so out of place. What did she know about pups? Beyond keeping Eddie alive from one day to another and out of one scrape after another. She didn’t have a clue what to do with them. But she wouldn’t let these wolves see her cave or cry. No, she’d done far more difficult things like lie to the faces of her very human bosses, when she’d been injured on the job one day and returned to work free of injury a few days later. Something about being sliced with a box cutter shouldn’t have healed so quickly. Well, it did if you were a wolf shifter. Three days later, that neat palm sized gash was all but a scar that was fading fast. Now Tara stood at t
In the Chains of the Alpha Interrogation Begins
Tara entered the observation room with Jaxon on her heels. Inside were three alphas who she’d met at the fundraiser the other night. She nodded in acknowledgement of them and one of them gave up his seat for her. Now she sat again among some of the most powerful wolf shifters in the city, and it scared her to make a sound. She wondered where Cal was when he entered the room on the other side of the window. The two she-wolves Tara hated most in the world, Lynn, Alpha Elmwood’s lover and her best friend, Debra, sat chained to chairs in the interrogation room. They pushed the table under the one-way mirror, revealing the drain and stains from past interrogations in that room. The women looked angry until Cal strolled in with Guy, which meant there were now four male wolves in the room with the two she-wolves. Lynn wasn’t phased but Debra appeared to worry a little. “Get the instruments ready. I don’t want to wait for you to find anything. This shouldn’
In the Chains of the Alpha The Final End of the Interrogation
This was all too real and yet unreal at the same time to Tara. The male wolf shifters were the most powerful in the city and Cal was in the next room torturing information from the she-wolves who’d made her life miserable for so many years. Tara didn’t know if she should be cheering him on, yelling at him to stop, or running away in fear. One look at the door showed there was no way out. Jaxon barred it with his body as he watched the four wolves torture answers out of the two she-wolves. Tara wanted to beg them just to answer the questions promptly because each time one of them hesitated, they were both cut a little more in punishment. He didn’t put them in chains or make them kneel. He just cut them or bruised them. At one point Guy picked up a crowbar and broke Debra’s shin bone when she mouthed off to Cal. Guy gave no warning. He just swung at her. Blood was slowly dripping from the various cuts. It would take them days or weeks to heal from these
In the Chains of the Alpha Hard to Take Than She Thought
This side of Cal was something Tara was not prepared for. In her mind, he was demanding and possessive. He could be jealous and even hurtful if someone didn’t respond the way he expected. Recently, she’d seen him as a provider, giving people what they needed, not necessarily what they wanted. That, she’d realized, was what linked some of his more negative traits to his positive ones. He wasn’t selfish; it was how he presented how he saw people in his world. He’d never actually hurt anyone before this. This was a side of Cal Tara was worried about. How often did this side of him come out? Was it often? Or rarely? The other alpha’s attitude was it was the darker side of the job. Was it? She’d not seen him take pleasure in hurting Lynn and Debra, but they were so broken in just an hour. There to be told he’d made them drink wolfsbane. He’d not told someone else to do it. He’d done it himself as a sentence. Both women knew what it was, and they’d barely proteste
In the Chains of the Alpha The How and the Why
Rachel found Tara and Jaxon at the bar with a half finished bottle of liqueur between them. She’d heard what went on and hadn’t approved of it. But it was too late now. “I’m afraid I need to interrupt this little gathering because right now there’s a lineup of people outside your office that’s interrupting the flow of people in and out of the kitchen, Tara. Can you come and see what you can do for them? Several people are becoming upset at the sudden wait to see you.” Rachel’s hands were full. The line up of people outside Tara’s office was interrupting the flow of traffic to and from the kitchen. The pack finally understood that she’s not just the alpha’s latest flavour of the week, so to speak. She’s here and wants to do her job. They needed this badly. Especially now after the shocking surprise attack. Rachel prayed no one would blame Tara as the cause for the attack. Because the truth is that they were being attacked long before Tara or Eddie entered the
In the Chains of the Alpha Tara's Office Hours
Tara watched Rachel leave her office. Okay, she could do this. All she needed to do was take her time, listen to what they had to say, and respond in a nice way to what they have to say. People were allowed their opinions, and they never stopped her before this. A woman stepped into the office after some time had passed. “Hi, come in. Our Beta’s been ordered to keep an eye on me while Alpha Nichols is dealing with some things. I hope that won’t affect our meeting.” “Oh, yeah… I mean no, it won’t be an issue.” “Great, come have a seat then and we’ll get started.” Tara awkwardly gestured to the visitor’s chairs before her desk. Jaxon was in the far corner by the electric fireplace, listening and watching the entire meeting in silence. “So, what have you come to say today? How can I help? You know, let’s start with your name and go from there.” “Oh, right, Janet? Janet Hazes. I, uh… came here today because I’m concerned about what’s going on a
In the Chains of the Alpha Going After Elmwood
With everyone ready for battle, and more than a little warmed up. Cal and the others from the Toronto Council of Alphas agreed time was of the essence. They needed to get Elmwood in custody or dead. Those were the only options for Elmwood and what was left of his pack.The Ruling Council made sure the paperwork was fast tracked. If the humans had a problem with this, then the paper trail was there, and NARC would take the heat rather than the Toronto Council of Alphas. The Alphas were pretty much there to bear witness again to the fact that justice was done properly and no one innocent took the punishment who wasn’t named in the writ.The last part irked Cal to no end. This was personal for him. The scum did some many things that affected Cal’s pack and mate on a personal level he was itching to rip Elmwood apart limb from limb. Just tear into him until there was no way to identify him except by DNA.That’s why the other alphas were there. To rein him in and make sure that he di
In the Chains of the Alpha Going in Search of the Fight
“How are we supposed to observe anything if we’re stuck out here with the humans? Shouldn’t we be in there to ensure everything goes as planned?” Cal finally said after everything he’d done today to get this far. He felt like the Ruling Council was neutering him. “I agree. Anything could happen in there and it appears like we’ve got some serious over kill in numbers. With everyone standing around here like this. Eli, this is your territory and even the Ruling Council can’t say a thing if you decide to go in there.” “What you say is true. This is my pack’s land, and that scum is hiding out in my territory without my leave. I say we go in there and find out what crap this fool thinks he’s pulling. Also, it would be nice to know exactly how the Ruling Council is interfering with what happens in my territory.” An alpha’s territory was, in fact, the pack’s territory. It was one and the same and some alpha’s like Eli used the terms almost interchangeably. To mess wit
