In the Chains of the Alpha Meeting with NARC
He needed to make sure everything added up. With the NARC Enforcers in his territory, he had to ensure everything was covered. Every line of investigation, every suspect, and every detail, no matter how absurd it was. Cal sat in a chair with Tara seated on a stool within reach of him. Touching her helped him calm down and think straight. When the invading visitors entered the darkened space. They were on edge in an unfamiliar location. Cal and his people were relaxed and had the home ground advantage. “Good afternoon. Please have a seat and we’ll get down to business. I’m sure you are very busy.” Cal directed the three shifters to the unoccupied seats on the other side of a large table. Cal had several of his enforcers spread out behind him and on each side. “Thank you, Alpha Nichols, for your prompt response and interest in this situation. My name is Al Barnes and I currently head a team who is tracking several issues. One of those issues is the issues
In the Chains of the Alpha Dress Fitting Appointment
Tara was frozen for most of the meeting. Was he going to give her up to them? She’d almost convinced herself that he’d told her one thing and then tell them another. Tara assumed he’d hand her over to them and claim he’d had hopes she’d be a breeder. But he didn’t, though he changed the story he told them. In the end, they took some rogues with them but left her there. No questions asked. The enforcers didn’t question the collar, chains, or any of it. Not once had they asked her if she was there against her will. His hand never left her hair or neck. All he had to do was squeeze, and she’d be silence permanently. But instead he’d made it clear, he wouldn’t let her go. What parallel world had she fallen into? This wasn’t the world she knew. Ever since Eddie ran away from her, the world felt off kilter. Like it was a twisted version of home. The thing is, other than losing her freedom and an attempt on her life, that almost worked. The alpha had treated h
In the Chains of the Alpha When Ladies Talk
Tara returned from changing into the first outfit. She wasn’t used to dresses and definitely the heels she was given. Her life was second hand jeans and t-shirts. Tara could walk in the heels, she just wasn’t used to wearing them for so long. Or having so much bare skin between the mini dress and the shoes. “No, too short. This isn’t for the club here. It’s supposed to be for when I take her out for a day event. I don’t want her being seen as a hooker. All skirts must be above the knee or longer.” “But she’s so short this makes her look like she’s got longer legs and therefore taller.” “I said no. Am I not being clear? I’m the client and alpha here. I know what I am saying. I won’t have her showing off herself at inappropriate times and causing trouble. You can’t be trying to start wars, are you?” “Start wars?” The tailor looked confused for a moment and then she clued in on what the alpha was talking about. “Oh! Oh, no, of course not. I’ll ma
In the Chains of the Alpha Meeting the Brother
Tara’s brother has arrived, and they have him tucked away. Cal didn’t want Tara to know he was here right away. He wanted to know exactly what was going on from the brother. He hated the narrow viewpoint he had right now, and he was determined not to go this way. Her brother was in the thick of it. He’d get what he could from him and take that to the Council of Alphas meeting tomorrow. He had a day to get information from the brother. He had to remember this was his mate’s brother and now, technically, his family. But the brother doesn’t know this, and Cal wouldn’t be telling him until he gave Cal the information he needed. When he got to the interrogation room, he watched the pup from a one-way viewing window. He was in an awful state. Of course he was. His pack had abandoned him and now was trying to kill him. He had nowhere to go, and hiding must have been difficult for him. Now everything hinged on how far was he corrupted and how redeemable he was. Cal did
In the Chains of the Alpha Tara’s Views
Tara finally got through the appointment with the personal shopper, and it felt crazy because half of the watch she asked was extremely personal about Tara’s daily routine and the rest was her explaining to Tara she needed to learn one thing or another to present as an adult. Tara wasn’t completely convinced when the personal shopper had left and the sympathetic look on Rachel’s face didn’t comfort her, either. She’d been an adult earlier than most people. She handled lots of things adults did at a far earlier age than most. Tara had a strong urge to demand to see the alpha and beg him to let her go. This was all too much for her. She needed time to decompress and think about things. Having people pushing her to see things differently wasn’t something she dealt with very often. They usually just told her how it was and expected her to go along with it. Sure, she’d dreamed of many of these changes in her life, but dreaming was a far cry from reality. Tara was
In the Chains of the Alpha Cal Lays Down His Laws
Cal leaned against the table and watched as the pup finally broke down and told him yet another story. Sadly, Cal believed this was yet another lie to protect his ass from punishment. Clearly, he was used to spinning tales and charming his way out of trouble. A couple of comments Tara made about her brother warned ahead of time Cal. Eddie needed a firm hand to reel him in. That was something Cal’s pack didn’t lack. This pup was about to go into a strict training program. He’d be too tired to screw around with anything else by the end of any day. Cal could see Tara’s brother hadn’t had life any easier than his sister. Well, he probably wouldn’t appreciate this, but his life was about to change for the better, and he wasn’t going to like it much. “Enough, listen, you mangy pup. I’m not buying what you’re offering. Your sister is involved and because you’re the reason for that, I’m going to give you one choice. You leave and never see your sister
In the Chains of the Alpha Cal Coming Home
Cal checked in around the club to make sure that everything was ready for the evening and nothing needed to be handled immediately. The last thing he needed was a potential disaster taking up his time. Cal headed into his apartment, expecting to find continued chaos with Terra‘s clothing fitting. But what he found was Terra waiting for him in that tiny near see through mini dress, nothing scattered anywhere. It took him a couple of minutes to think again because he just couldn’t get over the enticing scene. Tara sat nervously perched on a kitchen stool with a cup of tea and a drink for him. What more could he want with all he could think? He smiled as he approached her. Frustrated him a little, but it excited in too that she couldn’t look him in the eye yet. “Well, this is a nice change. I think I like this. To what do I owe this change?” Cal let his hands settle on her shoulders, his thumbs caressed her collar As his fingers toyed with her collarbone.
In the Chains of the Alpha Cal's Evening at Home
Tara decided it would be less difficult if she stopped trying to resist everything. It exhausted her, and she knew she’d nod to find anything good in that direction. Not like she’d find much good in any other direction. It wasn’t her lot in life. She’d learned that quickly after her father was murdered. No one would give her a break if they didn’t benefit from it. So here she lay chained to the alpha’s bed, and he loomed over her with a grin of enjoyment as he looked at her exposed body. When he liked his lips in anticipation, Tara took a sharp breath in as she felt her body respond to him. He couldn’t miss as her core flushed, her need melted, and presented him with the truth of what his mere presence did to her. It was hard for her to reveal this to herself, but to put it on display like this it was an entirely new experience and Tara could feel her body eagerly responding to it. She wasn’t aware of her whimpering until it escaped her throat. “Oh h
