THE ALPHA'S CAPTIVE CHAPTER 55
Detective Ferdinand returns with my glass of water, and while we wait, Detective Bradley doesn't switch off the recorder or take his eyes off of me.The door creaks open again a few seconds later, hardly long enough for me to have come up with a story that won't land me in jail for murder. Detective Ferdinand enters, holding a small white plastic cup.I'm not going to grab the cup from him even if it crosses my field of view and hovers there, inches from my face. I break out in hives just thinking about touching him or having him touch me.I hold off on picking it up until he sets it down on the table in front of me. My palms quickly close around the plastic, still warm and sweaty from his fingers, and I instantly regret my choice.Detective Ferdinand replies as he settles into his seat, "You were telling us about how Darius stepped into the diner right after your dad knocked you down." "Let's revisit that."I raise the cup to my mouth, sipping a little water from it, and then set it
THE ALPHA'S CAPTIVE CHAPTER 56
The police officers appear to have spent the last five nights sleeping in their uniforms. I most likely do as well.I wait for the police to demand that this man—whoever he is—get out since I have no idea what to say or do. But not before he drags the chair back to its original location.He must be a law enforcement officer. This kind of interruption of a police interrogation is not acceptable. Can they?Maybe it's his turn to ask me to speak now that he's their boss?I squirm to the edge of my seat, hoping I could push my chair back even farther so it wouldn't appear as though I'm uncomfortable with his calm attention."This time," the man replies, maintaining the same sluggish-eyed grin. Inspector Ferdinand gestured directly at me. "I'm shocked to hear that my client has been arrested," the caller said. He gives a theatrical palm clap over his heart, his face falling. "Amazed she's in this interview room by herself without me."How come?Thud.I spring into action from my seat and q

Eli doesn't hold back. He stands up and turns to face me, holding out his hand with the palm facing up. "Leo, Miss."I quickly glance at the police.Their murderous gazes are fixed on Eli as if they've still forgotten that I exist.I put my hand in Eli's and allowed him to help me stand up.I know I've messed up when he tightly clasps his hand around mine. One that doesn't really sink in until Eli is guiding me down the corridor; I was too busy getting excited in the interview room to think about who might be waiting for me outside.Darius.I pull at my hand slowly. "I think I should go to the toilet."And check to see if there's a window large enough for me to crawl out of in this restroom.Eli smiles at me like a shark, and his hand tightens. Which you can accomplish when we've gathered your possessions.His smile makes me uneasy because it makes me feel like a rat that a dog has just saved from a cat.We follow him to the reservation area, where we wait. Detective Ferdinand and Bra
THE ALPHA'S CAPTIVE CHAPTER 58
Amanda.I tilt my head in the direction of the police, perplexed as to how Jade could have known so quickly that they were discussing her.The blonde police officer grabs a tiny plastic coffee cup, takes a sip, furrows his brow, and puts the cup down. Therefore, even if we won't be able to link her to the animal assault or her father, we may still claim her for Bristowe. Ferdinand, we have witnesses that say she was the only person in the car.It wouldn't take much to get her to confess.I clench my jaw.Make her confess out of fear? Is that the way the police operate? It makes sense why Jade is eyeing them like he's hungry.His companion snorts a snort. We spent fucking hours with her. She didn't say anything, and she won't now that she has that sleazy jerk Santino. We blew our opportunity, fucking it.More is happening here than my hazy brain can comprehend. Much more.Bristowe: who is she? And just what do they want to blame Amanda for?Suppressing a yawn, the blond police officer
THE ALPHA'S CAPTIVE CHAPTER 59
AmandaI've been staring at Nathan's sardonic smirk for almost an hour now.I can't force myself to look away, no matter how many times I urge myself to.I glance at him and the picture comes back to me.I remember how he caused my dad pain before his passing when I look at him."You said pub owners?" Jacob gives a disgusted mouth twist.Given his wealth—his parents raised him with the help of five servants—it should come as no surprise that Jacob thinks any job other than investment management is beneath him. He even hires out for that. He typically loses the money he wagers on investments. It is his parents' responsibility to make sure he never experiences a day at work.The first time Darius introduced me to him, at twenty-six, I thought he was spoilt and overprivileged.My perception of him hasn't altered in three years.Nathan takes another sip of his vodka while lounging on one of Darius's white couches. "I think there's always room for someone to suffer more, but Darius thinks

I go about a step before Eva stops me with a phony, gentle apology. "You have an order from the Alpha."I turn to look into her acerbic green eyes. "I intended to obtain—""Simple. It," she cuts herself off, bringing up her pointy chin. That was his statement. not stray from the small task you've set for yourself.The fragments of glass on the floor catch my attention. "I require—"Jacob cuts you off, saying, "You need to learn to follow instructions. Sincerely, Darius, if she can't even follow basic instructions, you should be more strict with her.I am aware of their desires and can feel their bloodlust. For me to suffer for no apparent reason, no matter how minor or major.Felix as well. They gaze at me with wolf eyes, glistening and keen, drooling over their pound of flesh, knowing exactly what I did to Felix.I'm surrounded by a flock of raptors in a high-rise apartment, so I do what I can. I follow instructions before they can come up with crueler ways to retaliate against me.A

I get pulled away from the window by Nathan. I struggle to get back to it.Nathan responds, "Just your mate eager for some attention," and resumes his game of snatch and release.He pulls me back, and I release the window frame at the same moment. I slam into his chest, and he stumbles back a step, so he couldn't have been expecting it.His lips curve into that loathed, mocking smirk when he sees me.Perish.I use the glass shard in my right hand to cut at his throat. I get blood all over my face. There's so much of it that I momentarily lose my vision. But just momentarily.He lets go of me and staggers backward by one step, holding his palm against the jagged gash in his throat.I look at him, my heart racing so fast that I don't even realize I'm not shouting until I hear someone swear."Aw shucks."By chance. Chance sounds like that.With a look in his piercing blue eyes that I have never seen before, Nathan looks back at me.Unexpected.He collapses heavily to his knees, the blood
THE ALPHA'S CAPTIVE CHAPTER 62
When I see the needle, I finally give in to the panic that has been repressing me for the entire time.Tyler uses so little effort to hold me pinned that his forearm muscles hardly strain when I try.I watch Darius struggle, rounding the side of the bed and perching on the edge, his eyes never leaving mine, till he reaches for my bleeding arm.It's not like he was trying to stop the blood from seeping through the white sheets; he could have just gone for bandages. This is just torment, nothing more.He remains motionless for a considerable amount of time, observing my arm objectively while I inhale sharply, causing all the muscles in my body to tense.He lays the thread and needle on the bed next to him.I guess he's changed his mind, like an idiot. That perhaps something has stopped him—his wolf, the only aspect of him that appears to care whether I live or die.However, he scowls a little, reaches out to grab my arm, and then yanks the glass shard out with a forceful motion.I screa
