Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Forty-Three - A Worrying Trend
Calvin’s POVI allowed the unwelcome news to sink in as I considered all the unexplained accidents recently, culminating in this, the ultimate tragedy.Lucy was such a looker, too.“Travis will be gutted,” I said. “They were due to do that scene next Saturday.” I winced, realising how that sounded. “Sorry, Oscar, ignore me. Have her family been informed?”“I assumed you would want to do it, Alpha.”“Yes, of course.”Tori went ashen-faced when I told her. “That could have been me. Oh no, you’ll think me selfish now. But I didn’t know her well, and … ” She tailed off, peering up at me through her fingers. “Why are you grinning?”“Because I just said a similar thing to Oscar, implying Travis would be disappointed not to do a scene with her at the weekend.”“Goddess, what are we like?”“Must be our human roots,” I said.“Speak for yourself. I’m a pure breed.”“Me, too,” I whispered. “That does it. I was thinking of inviting you back to work from ‘Remus’. Not now.”“You said ‘from’ ‘Remus’
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Forty-Four - An Alpha's Wrath
Tori’s POVI was starting to rebuild my life. It wasn’t perfect, but it was all I had. Then Alpha Calvin had to go and spoil it by insisting I join his pack. He took a different approach with Ellie and she was wondering why, in front of him, and I couldn’t stand it so I just blurted it out.“Alpha Joseph tried to molest me at ‘Jackman’s’.”“Never.”“He did, Els. If Alpha Thomas hadn’t rushed back from the VIP night his dick would have been inside my mouth.”I rubbed the spot on my neck where the leader of Waning Moon had bit me. Fortunately, there was no mark.“I can’t leave, Tor. What about Mom? Val would give me hell.”“So what’s new?” I said.“Please, don’t make me switch over, Alpha Calvin.”“Think about it. That’s all I ask. Otherwise you may end up on your own in that flat.”“That’s unfair,” I snapped.“Let’s examine that concept more closely,” the Alpha said. “What justification do you have for teasing my Delta in public?”I gasped, glancing across at Ellie, who was no help at
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Forty-Five - Limits
Tori’s POVI’d never been undressed so lovingly or so slowly. Lying on my back beneath him, I felt worshipped, cared for and wholly alive.“If you’re sure?” I whispered.The tenderness which followed had me emotional all over again.“Vanilla’s my new favourite,” he told me afterwards.“Thanks for not … reminding me.”“We need to banish those bad memories but I won’t rush you.”“I still owe you that favour.”“More than one. I found Carrie, didn’t I? Let’s see, what should I ask of you?”I tensed.“Please don’t assign me to Mel.”“That will never happen,” he assured me. “I know. Tell me what you think of me.”“You’re my employer.”“And?”“Good looking.”“Better than Archer? Come on, we have to talk about him sometime, or you’ll bear the scars forever.”“He didn’t mark me in any way. Yet he was cruel.”“And handsome?”“I kept wondering why the Moon Goddess had granted him a face like that. I don’t want to think about the rest of him.”“You’re doing great, Tori. And Rhodes?”“The one who
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Forty-Six - Too Much Information
Calvin’s POVI wanted to laugh out loud as the mirrored room showed me how flustered Tori was by that statement.“Tell me more, Ursula,” I said.“Ignore him. He’s being a dick.”“Hey, may I remind you I’m the Alpha here?” The other she-wolf stiffened. “Don’t worry, I won’t punish her in front of you,” I added. Though it was tempting I had no desire to hurt either of them.“Some leader I was,” Tori commented.“It was very brave,” Ursula told her.“I totally agree. But you’re not here to compliment my employee or even to perform with her in front of me.” That was one reason I’d specified casual dress. For both of them. “I’m not that kind of Alpha.”“With respect, Alpha Calvin, in my experience everyone’s that kind of Alpha given half a chance.”“What happened to you?” Tori asked. “I thought the women were taken to safety.”“The Mistress acted quickly, directing some of us to the hidey-hole. It’s where VIPs go so as not to be discovered.”“So raids are frequent then?”“Three times a yea
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Forty-Seven - Truth And Lies
Tori’s POVThe Alpha was being a dick. But I wasn’t scared. I knew we would end up staying the night here, where we began. It wasn’t quite the same at the packhouse where I felt like some sort of concubine.Ellie had tried to tell me I was exclusive and that I shouldn’t feel that way. But the mating ball was looming and I knew my hold on him would be limited after that.I didn’t even know if I was invited. Yet, having tentatively agreed to join North Shore, the handover terms of which were still to be negotiated with Alpha Joseph, I supposed I must attend. It would look bad otherwise.Maybe Alex would turn up. In which case I should definitely make myself scarce that day. And I couldn’t bear to see Calvin claim another. Yet what if there was a chance I would find my fated mate, too? I was really torn.Now who’s being a dick?Bethany was convinced she and Thaddeus were meant to be together. I suspected the Alpha’s wolf was just using her. Like me.I picked up the panties and went into
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Forty-Eight - Rage
Calvin’s POVI came very close to admitting the truth. The past few days there was an ache which not even controlling my sub could alleviate. I knew pain in its purest form and it didn’t sit well.My frustration needed an outlet.The Moon Goddess must have heard me. Because when Glenn mind linked me two days later, at first I couldn’t believe it.“Rhodes is long gone,” I insisted.“You asked me to alert you if he showed up and he has.”“Where’s Tori?”“Alpha, you’re not going to like this. She agreed to see him.”“Fuck,” I said. “Keep an eye on them, will you?”“Easier said than done. She asked for privacy.”“I take it you’re monitoring the room?”“Naturally.”“Thanks, Glenn. I’ll be there soonest.”When I drove the short journey to Still Water, her stepbrother had gone, leaving Tori a shaking mess. My Delta was consoling her in the courtyard and, from where I was standing, he wanted them to be more than just friends.A growl emerged but it didn’t come from me. Mel launched herself at
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Forty-Nine - The 'Remus' Effect
Tori’s POVI had my sister back and it was all thanks to her becoming involved in the club. Naomi needed her own assistant these days, for the very new side of things, and they got on really well.I didn’t quite grasp why until later.The Sigma was now dividing her time between here and the brothel and we had some uproarious supervision sessions. That girl had no filter. She plied a good needle, too, but soon knew better than to mention that wretched Luna gown.Then she went where Ellie had feared to tread.“Tell him how you feel.”“He’d want to keep me forever as his mistress and I wouldn’t be able to stand it.”“I’d be happy to play second fiddle for a guy like that,” Ursula said. “He’s hot.”The Alpha entered the office without knocking. Well, it did belong to him.“Am I interrupting something?”“Supervision. We couldn’t hold it downstairs because Naomi’s doing the same thing with one of her girls.”“Did you mention you’d be here, Tori?”“Sorry, Alpha Calvin. I forgot.”“Well, you
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Fifty - Contemplating A New Beginning
Calvin’s POVThe night before the mating ball I prayed as I had never prayed before, apologising to Goddess Selene for not paying her enough attention in the past. The Moon deity remained as silent and mysterious as ever.In contrast to my well hidden depression, Thaddeus was buoyant, and I used him as a front. It wouldn’t be the first time.Maybe I could reject her, my fated mate, causing controversy and making my late father angry enough to rise up from his resting spot and howl. If I chose another it couldn’t be Tori. My plan to make the pack accept her by accommodating her within it on the pretext of her still being in danger had backfired since many believed she had caused Mel’s death. So what if she was a psychopathic murderer.They were an unforgiving lot at North Shore yet I had to listen to them if I were to remain Alpha. I did think about handing over the reins to Glenn and stepping down early in order to run my rapidly expanding club. But my conscience wouldn’t allow it.In
