Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha Making a Stand
POV: Echo Snarling, Brady whips around, face bloodied, eyes darkened with his wolf. He stalks towards me, a predator after his prey. I keep my blade raised, slowly taking steps back in a wide arc, hoping to make my way toward the door. Seeing this, he moves to cut me off, and I step the other way. Slowly noting that if I keep backing up in this direction, he will have me completely cornered at the folding table. ‘We will have to make a stand; I will give you strength. You do not know what we are capable of yet. Have faith in yourself… in me!’ My hands stop shaking as Tala’s strength and determination flood my body. I plant myself, spreading my feet wide instinctively, despite never having been allowed to train with the other wolves a day in my life. I continue to ignore the pain shooting up from my broken ankle. It is nothing compared to the pain I will feel if I can’t get away. He stops, watching me, laughing as he sees me preparing to fight him. “Little Doll,” he growls, clicki
Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha Escape
POV: Echo The room erupts into the snarling, roaring, and shouting of multiple wolves as they rush into the room. Brady’s wolf slams him back into complete control, and Brady’s fingertips extend into razor-sharp claws. He digs them into my arms, dragging me upwards as he stands up. Extracting them to flip me around so that I face them, he then pulls me tightly against his chest. He grips my throat, prepared to rip it out should the need arise, while his other hand pulls up and buttons his jeans. Then he wraps his arms around me and digs his claws into me, holding me tightly. I stifled the cries of pain from his claws, tears falling silently, as I watched the men in front of me fan out. Beta John and his father, Beta Seth, stood to one side, faces pale and eyes exploding with rage as they saw my living space for the first time, and took in the scene before them. Beta Travis and Delta Blaze stood on the other side, their furious wolves just beneath the surface. The major contributor
Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha It Was Planned
POV: Atlas I can’t believe these idiots are literally fighting in the dining room when they are supposed to be making sure everything is ready to go immediately. I launch myself into the middle of the fray, where most of the wolves are fighting. “ENOUGH!” I roared, and every wolf in the room stopped dead. “WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK DO YOU ALL THINK YOU ARE DOING?! This does NOT look like preparing everything to leave.” Every Blood Moon wolf in the room and at least seventy percent of the Red Stone wolves extend their necks in submission. My wolves shift back to their human forms, and Blaze looks like a busted little kid. I glared at him, waiting for a reply. “I was doing just that,” he says, “and then some ugly-looking bastard from Red Stone comes in here with his gang of goons and starts spouting off about why you would have any interest in Alpha Brady’s sex toy!” I growl, just as I hear another wolf from Red Stone, one those that didn’t submit, start speaking. “I didn’t know Alpha
Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha Never Left
Chapter 32 Never Left POV: Echo An uncomfortable churning feeling in my stomach, combined with the sensation of moving too quickly, is what finally wakes me up. Lying on my stomach on something warm which wraps around my torso and meets across my lower back, I can’t help but feel relaxed and nuzzle against the calming warmth below me, sighing contentedly as it chases the nauseating feeling away. I pause when a purr vibrates out of the warmth below me, sending my heart racing as I feel the warmth chuckle, before unwrapping itself from my torso. Breathing in the calming scent of damp forest and fresh coffee, I relax as someone gently runs their hands over my hair. “You are safe, Little Warrior. We are on our way to our home,” Atlas says softly, kissing the top of my head. I gradually opened my eyes, feeling embarrassed when I understood the heat was coming from my mate, and I had just snuggled up to his brawny chest. Glancing up at him through my lashes to see him grinning down at me
Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha Music
POV: Echo I couldn’t seem to tear my eyes away from his as I watched Zev flicker in and out of Atlas’s eyes. Based on the waves of furious auras from the Alpha, Beta, and Delta, they are all struggling equally with their wolves at this moment. It takes every ounce of my willpower not to bow in submission. Closing my eyes, I try to ignore them as they work to gain control while they watch me like a hawk. I hope they will get bored after a while and keep driving, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Breaking the silence, it’s Beta Travis who speaks first. “Luna Echo, are you saying that in the ten years you have been in the Red Stone pack, you have been locked in the house the entire time? Treated as a slave and forced to clean, while never once being given any form of recreation other than chores and varying forms of abuse?” I can hear the pain in his voice as he tries to keep it level. I keep my eyes closed and nod once, not wanting to see the looks on their faces. Hearing them al
Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha X-Rays
POV: Echo We’ve been driving down the dirt path for a while now, and I can see a clearing up ahead. As we approached, I noticed a huge multistory house, sitting to one side with the forest behind it. A second, smaller, two-story building sits next to it. Rows of fair-sized homes with green yards that are well-maintained and full of life fill the rest of the clearing. There is a crowd of wolves waiting in front of the pack house to greet us. I lean into Atlas’s chest as I see more wolves joining, both in wolf and human forms. I don’t think I have ever seen so many wolves in one place before. Panic bubbles into my chest, as I realize I am too injured to even move on my own, never mind get out of the car and meet my new pack. I don’t want to answer the inevitable questions that will come up from the pack seeing me being unloaded from the car in this condition. “We aren’t stopping at the pack house, Little Warrior,” Atlas says. “You are heading straight to the pack infirmary next door
Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha Four Days
POV: Echo The nurse had barely left the room before someone lightly knocked on the door. “Come in,” Atlas called out, and Cordelia pushed the door open. She’s holding some odd-looking squares of black and white shiny material. She attaches them to a white thing on the wall, which lights up, illuminating the photos on the squares. I can only assume they are my x-rays, as they both show what looks to be bones. Broken bones. The one with two smaller bones shows a line across each. The x-ray of what I believe to be my ankle was nightmarish to look at. Cordelia sighs, frowning before she turns to us. “Well, your wrist will be a simple matter of placing a cast for a couple of days until Tala heals it.” She points at the cracks on the x-ray. “You can see the relatively clean fractures here.” “Unfortunately, this ankle is another matter entirely!” She waved at the mangled mess in the x-ray photo. “I am glad that you could hold off healing this Tala, although I can see where you braced wit
Straying Echo: Fighting to Escape an Obsessed Alpha What Kind Of Punishment?
POV: Echo Even though I had just spent the last four days unconscious, I was completely overcome with pure exhaustion after having woken up and met Noira. She seemed to notice and politely excused herself from the room, leaving Atlas and I alone. He watched me closely, as though I’d disappear if he blinked too long. Looking him over, I realized he was still wearing the same black shirt and jeans he’d put on before we left the Red Stone pack. The outfit is crumpled and wrinkled, and his dishevelled hair and stubbly chin complete the look. I can tell he has been sleeping in the chair beside my bed, waiting for me to wake up. I place a shaky hand on his cheek, and he leans into it, the tension leaving his body. “I’m here, Atlas, and I’m not going anywhere!” I whisper, leaning forward to kiss his forehead before releasing him. Chuckling, he smiles at me, eyes sparkling in amusement. “You’re the one in the hospital bed, and yet you’re comforting me!” I can feel my cheeks turn pink a bit
