Just one chapter today. I will be back on track this week with more chapters. So Gabe and Sitx have met, and the body? My goodness, who could have killed Ruby's boyfriend?
STIXRuby sat sobbing in my arms after I told her about stumbling across Cameron's body. My shirt was soaked from her tears.I knew she liked him, but I had underestimated just how much. I honestly thought he was just the flavor of the month.“Okay calm down Ruby,” Gently I try to console her and urge her to relax. It had been hours since she heard the news and hours of her constant crying. At this point, her sobs had become annoying, and she was just looking for attention.Ruby lifts her head, her red lipstick smeared across her cheek and the charcoal eyeliner was smudged under her eyes. “Why though, that’s what I don’t get. Why? We were going to be mated.” She sobs again, and more tears stream down her face.“I don’t know Ruby,” I say thinking about the bloodied body with claw marks that ripped open the stomach and his chest that had been caved in and the heart removed.I shudder at the image that is ingrained into my brain.“But our fathers will find out. They won't rest until they
STIX“I can't see.” I smack Ruby and press a finger to her lips scowling at her lack of tact and inconspicuousness before we were caught spying.Though I was sure my father already knew we were in here, that’s why neither of us could see, he was standing right where the peephole was.“Please excuse our lack of organization today,” My father begins to explain to our guests, “A body was discovered last night… a murder.” I could hear the disgust roll off his tongue and knew as the Alpha, he felt the loss of a pack member, but he put up a good front.“A murder? In your own pack?” I recognized the voice as Killian’s, as he spoke, Ruby’s body gave a slight shiver and she sucked in air through her teeth.“Aye,” My father replies, “It’s why we need you. Speaking of which…” I hear my father fumble around, moving from my view and giving me clear sight of the Renegade Alpha.It was my turn to shudder as a shiver wracked through my body at the sight of the tall dark and well-built godlike creature
GABEHastily I leave the Alphas office needing to get out of there something fierce. I didn’t know if I wanted to wrap my hand around the little female's throat and shake her or fuck her to submission.Either way, neither choice was good.This hadn’t gone how I had hoped but didn’t expect my news to be received with smiles. What I didn’t expect was the Raven Knight alpha to offer me his pack in exchange for our services.I didn’t want nor need a pack. I had the Renegades, which was as close to a pack as I wanted to run.They kept calling me alpha and I didn’t like it. I may have alpha blood coursing through my veins, but I was far from being one. Organized packs were not my thing. I left that life long ago.Killian and our two Zeta’s followed my lead, heading straight for our bikes that were right where we left them. All I could think about was getting as far away from here as possible. Far away from the little blonde with the sassy mouth that I wanted to fill, and not with my fist.Fu
GABEWalking into my bar and pushing open the heavy metal door, heading straight to the back corner of the old drinking house. Noticing, and not for the first time, that the place could do with a major facelift. The dirty, scuffed blue walls and patched-up leather booths of the Rising Moon had seen better days.Jamerson and Killian were huddled up, heads down, looking at a file, seemingly deep in discussion.They looked up, startled when I dropped the two duffle bags of cash onto the table in front of them with a loud thud.“All taken care of?” Jamerson asks while leaning over to unzip the bags and peeking in.“Yep,” I reply, watching him thumb the bills.“Is this all of it, the full amount?” His raised eyebrow made me smirk.“Yes brother, with extra for our troubles. Have the boys run it through the counter. If they are a dollar short of 400k, I want to know.” My eyebrows pinch together at the thought of them even trying to cheat us out of a deal. It would be a stupid move and a terr
GABE A knock on the door had me pulling from my thoughts and it was welcoming. I needed a distraction. Thinking about the past always grated at my nerves building up the anger that always simmered on the surface. “Doors open” I called out, not bothering to move from my horizontal position. “Alpha, Jamerson said you wanted to see me?” The sweet voice carried through the stark and drab apartment. The owner of the voice, Bailey, walked around the other side of the couch and now stood before me in a short black skirt and dark grey tank top. Her feet were clad with heels at least 4 inches high, giving the petite raven-haired beauty some height. I nodded to her, while my eyes traveled from head to toe and back up again. Her chocolate-colored eyes sparkled with excitement, yet her hands fiddled together nervously. Her large tits stretched the fabric of her top, and her skirt came just below her ass cheeks, leaving little to the imagination. “I did,” I said with a cool tone, while stil
STIXGrowing up, I lived carefree, thinking I would be in charge of my life when I became an adult.Oh, how wrong I was.I had everything I ever wanted, needed, or desired. I only realized after I had turned eighteen and was thrust into the world of adulthood how utterly stupid it was of me, to think I could live my life the way I wanted under my father’s protection. Even some things were out of his control.I wasn’t an idiot; I just chose to be ignorant. Ignorant to the fact that as an Alpha born female, I had no choices. We weren’t free to find a fated, not that that happens very often.Finding your fated mate that some goddess supposedly made just for you, they were a rare case, if there were any at all in the past century. Nor were we free to fall in love with a chosen, because as soon as that happened, some nasty Alpha would come to lay claim to you and threaten the lives of your pack members if you didn’t bow your head and submit to their demands.I say females born to Alpha’s,
STIX I headed down to the arena to meet up with other pack members who were trained fighters. We were one of the few packs that allowed females to train. My mother, bless her soul, believed a she-wolf could defend her pack just as well as any male. My father always said that was one of many reasons he fell in love with her. For her strength, beauty, and kindness but above all for her quick-witted tongue, which, he reminded me every day that I got from her. That and my sassy attitude. Unfortunately, it was that fearlessness and her mouth that got her killed, probably. I was fourteen when she was attacked. One of the rare days she ventured out by herself to the market. On her way home she was murdered. Nobody saw, nobody knows what happened. They heard shouting, then the growl of wolves, by the time anyone could come to her aid it was all over. The assailants had fled. Leaving her body limp and bleeding out. They had clawed her throat open. My father took it hard, any mate would. L
GABEThe bar was hopping tonight, more crowded for a weekday night than usual.Jamerson had informed us that we had business meetings tonight, and the Gammas shit for brain son was being returned to him tomorrow morning, all limbs attached; After we let Dynamite Al teach him a lesson.My session with Bailey last night left me feeling somewhat relaxed, or at least relieving some of my constant tension.I finished changing a keg and went to sit with Jamerson at ‘our’ table. He was nursing a whisky; one we had distilled ourselves and sold to numerous other establishments and some surrounding packs.It wasn’t unusual for us to do business with packs, not just supply them with our products but also our more aggressive services. Especially to those weaker packs who required reinforcements when they were attacked by true rogues.We never took sides. Only the color of money determined what side our services would support. They all knew it was nothing personal. Just business.“Quiet a night, h
