In the Chains of the Alpha The Attack
“I count at between thirty and fifty. That’s too many for the holding room, Cal. What are we going to do? The sheer number may be able to put enough weight against the doors going in both directions, and then what? Have our people waiting for them?” “We’re going to have to do that. How’s Jaxon doing removing the clientele from the front of the building?” “I’ll have to check. He and the bouncers went out there a while ago and no one’s called in.” Guy poked at his tablet to switch video feeds to the front of the building. “It looks like the clientele are gone, but there’s more rogues at the front of the building. There appears to be fighting on the street.” “Then get a few teams out there to assist them. I’ll get the enforcers here briefed and ready. You get out Jaxon and the others’ assistance.” “On it right now.” Guy was tapping away at this tablet, sending out instructions to various groups for Cal. “Six groups are on the way to Jaxon and
In the Chains of the Alpha Chatting Up a Human
“Officer, is there a problem with the help we’ve requested from you? This is all but over now.” “How dare you come in here and cause such chaos and destruction? Then expect us to sit back and do nothing while you monsters destroy everything and leave destruction in your wake.” “We’ve been here over fifteen years, officer, and this is the first time these monsters, as you put it overstepped their legal bonds and attacked us. We never invited them here to do this. In fact, I was in the process of dealing through our legal channels with the main instigator of this. This sir is because I chose a lone wolf for a mate and saved her from a rather questionable and abusive existence. That she-wolf is inside there terrified that she’ll be murdered by the wolf that orchestrated all this because she didn’t fulfil the terms of his blackmail.” “What are you talking about? You need to make sense.” “She was born into a rather questionable pack. Her brother
In the Chains of the Alpha Round Up
Cal made sure that none of the human officers didn’t do anything stupid. There’d already been a few groups who’d gone ‘hunting’ shifters in other cities. Now he was met by two other Toronto Alphas. “They seriously came at you like this? Is this over the she-wolf you took from Elmwood?” “This is the second known attempt he’s made to harm her, and I’d have to check my records on how many attacks he’s made on my businesses. He’s out of his mind if he thinks he can do this. Organizing the rogues will fail him when he can’t deliver whatever it is he promised them.” “Do you know what he’s promised yet?” “No, but by the end of tonight, I plan to find out. There must be a good seventy rogues here and I know he’s poor as a church mouse.” “Sorry, I haven’t looked into him beyond what you brought to the last meeting.” “He likes to take from everyone else and give nothing back. So I figure he’s offered the rogues something he doesn’t
In the Chains of the Alpha Containment
It took hours for them to get the images of all the faces of the rogues. Sure enough, they had Elmwood’s lover within the group along with several of her friends. The leaders of the rogues all had known ties to Elmwood, but it was confusing to find out what brought so many rogues together. Before this gatherings of rogues, like this would surely end in infighting and murdering each other. Which forced them to break up a few incidents before they had them all contained. The thing with owning a club like this, was they had the stables? Once they filled the main stables, most were there waiting for the Ruling Council to decide what to do with each one. The second private stables were half full before they ran out of rogues for the cages. Cal couldn’t help but feel a little joy in putting the she-wolf who put the sandwich beside Tara’s cage into that very cage. He felt it was fitting in some way. With her friend in the cage right beside it. The two spitting at e
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
