The Alpha's Obsession 55 - Childhood Fantasies
~Gemma~ I attempted to keep my emotions out of it. Neither of them made it easy. Ha! The former love of my life had knocked up a woman who was my complete opposite. She might have wrecked the image with the ugly pout on her face. Yet I could tell she put effort into her appearance. The leggy blonde wore a dress that highlighted all her ample features. She had curled her hair to perfection. Her makeup was expertly applied to top it off. Damn. Alpha Devlin put effort into his appearance as well. He wore his trademark jeans and teeshirt. His deceptively simple outfit highlighted all his features as well. His shirt clung to his muscled torso. He had neatly styled his hair as well. Actually, they made a cute as hell couple. Yes. That observation depressed me all the way down to my core. This stranger had the future that was supposed to be mine at one point. A future the younger me badly wanted. 'Fuck, Gemma! Can we circle back to all this later?' Omigosh! I shut down our mental path.
The Alpha's Obsession 56 - Witch and Her Wolf
~Gemma~ I abandoned my fucked up love triangle situation for a larger damn crisis. I grabbed both Kylie’s hands, pretending to laugh and chat. “Kylie! Don’t change your behavior! Reach out to Kieran and your father right now! Tell them our location. Tell them we are potentially in danger. There is a witch and two rogues closing in on us.” “W-what?” “Do what I say. Now!” I faked a smile, popping another piece of cheese in my mouth. “Done! Kieran is ordering us to get in the car and leave!” I shook my head. “We’ll never make it! Shift right now and run away.” “I can’t! I’m half-human and have no wolf.” Shit! I slipped the keys into her hand. “Just in case. If I tell you to run, haul ass to the car and go.” ‘Dev! Where the fuck are you?’ ‘Be there soon. Do not engage!’ Easy for him to say when the trio so obviously wanted our attention. The witch appeared to be in her thirties. I didn’t recognize her. “Hello there! I think we have something you want.” She called out to me.
The Alpha's Obsession 57 - False Mate
~Alpha Devlin~ The situation was fucked. From the moment Gemma told me to stay away, I realized the gravity of the situation. Of course, I didn’t listen. This was my pack. I was the damn alpha. Come what may, I would see the situation to finality. I couldn’t bear the idea of Gemma facing this alone. I eyed her, standing tall and proud in the face of our dire circumstances. That’s my girl. The witch addressed me. “Alpha, since your witch won’t listen to reason, I will appeal to you. Hand over the witch and we will leave peacefully.” “No fucking way!” I growled. My wolf trembled with impatience to be released. He itched to kill the threat at hand. Gemma’s hand shot out and grabbed mine, warning me to keep my composure. The witch stepped closer to us. “I haven’t yet begun to coerce you. I promise things can get a lot more interesting.” She held out her hand to the black wolf at her side. “Do you feel that?” Gemma spoke quietly. “There is alpha power rolling off that wolf.” N
The Alpha's Obsession 58 - Bleeding Out
~Alpha Devlin~ Jessica picked the worst fucking time to interrupt. She sat up, confused. Taking in the bodies piled around her, she immediately got to her feet. “Brock! Where are you going? Don’t leave me!” She ran hysterical after the retreating couple. We slowed our approach, unsure of how her actions would changed the dynamics of our plan. Brock and Gemma stopped and turned to face her. “I will get rid of this annoyance for you, my mate.” Brock released Gemma’s hand and stepped forward, awaiting Jessica’s approach. A look of realization, followed by horror, crossed Gemma’s face. Brock opened his arms for a sobbing Jessica. When she launched herself into his arms, he held her. He whispered in her ear before wrapping his hands around her throat. Gemma, the meddling witch, appeared right at their side, shoving herself in the middle of their shit. “What are you doing!” Gemma screeched. “She is carrying your baby!” He remained calm and collected as he answered. “She is weak. I
The Alpha's Obsession 59 - Betrayal
~Alpha Devlin~ “Is everyone crying? Someone tell me what the hell is going on!” Irina screamed over the speaker. Shit I had forgotten about her. Sammie scrambled to find the phone, pushing tall grass aside in her haste. She grabbed it and held it up. “Gemma is dying! We can’t save her!” I scrubbed my face with a hand. Not the words I would have chosen. At least she got directly the heart of the fucked up matter. “WHAT?” Irina screeched. “Give me more details for fuck’s sake! How is she dying?” I wasted no time. “She has a mortal wound in her stomach. Brock clawed her. The goddess won’t save her.” “Use your heads! Don’t turn stupid when she needs you most. Sam, call her vampire boy toy. You tell him to get his ass there and save her. Like now!” “Right!” Sammie hung up the phone and scrolled through Gemma's contacts. I faintly heard Sammie hissing and arguing with someone. I assumed she made contact. “He’ll be here. He is really, really fucking pissed.” She got Irina back on
The Alpha's Obsession 60 - No More Running
~Gemma~ The most intoxicating scent wrapped me up in a cocoon of warmth. Spiced rum with an undertone of forest and a splash of vanilla. Elegant. Mysterious. Yummy. I opened my eyes. Dev slept soundly in my bed. He looked so innocent, so relaxed. His face held a hint of stubble. He had been stubble-free the last time I saw him. His eyes snapped open, focusing on me. “Hello, beautiful.” He smiled at me. Just as if my body had finally woken, I felt the tug, the relentless pull. It was like a cord pulled taught with too much tension. My stomach turned over. I was going to be sick! I fell off the bed. “Omigod! What the hell is happening to me? Did the goddess do something to me?” Sammie rushed to my side as Alpha Devlin crawled off the bed. His chest heaved. “Mate!” He stood over me, a feral look on his face. “W-what?” I strangled on the word. Sammie ran a hand through her hair. “Fuck! This shit keeps getting better and better.” “Sam!” Alpha Devlin barked at her. “Leave us!” “N
The Alpha's Obsession 61 - Delicious
~Gemma~ “Rina! Something is wrong with me!” I complained, lying back in bed. “Um. Gemma, have you had unprotected sex?” Sammie asked. I ran to the bathroom and threw up for the fourth time of the day. Yuck! I brushed my teeth. As soon as I stepped into my bedroom, she bombarded me. Sammie raised an eyebrow at me. “So? Unprotected?” Alpha Devlin walked into my room unannounced. WTF? Where had he come from? “When did I lose control over my own damn home?” I grumbled. “When you almost died.” He said, not even batting an eye. “What were you talking about?” “Gemma is pregnant.” Sammie said casually. We held in our laughter when his eyes bulged. His face turned lava-red. “What the fuck, Gemma? How did this happen?” I rolled my eyes, experiencing a strong case of deja vu. “Lucky for you, Sam had this talk with me recently.” I winked at her. “When a man puts his penis…” He suddenly knelt in front of me, shoving his face in my belly. “Hey! Personal space, buddy!” When he tickled me,
The Alpha's Obsession 62 - My Only Addiction
~Gemma~ I hugged Irina tightly. “Seriously, Gems.” Irina patted my back in soothing circles. “I have to go. My uber driver is going to get annoyed and leave.” “I don’t care!” I sniffed. She sighed. “Listen, my love. If things get too heavy here, you can always join me in Florida. Enjoy the beach and some sun.” “Florida? You moved there permanently?” I pulled back. “When did this happen?” “I wanted a change of scenery. I rented a condo in Miami. So come stay with me!” She patted her belly, smiling. “We would love to have you.” I dropped to my knees, pressing my forehead against her stomach. “Hey, my precious. You hang in there, huh? I’ll see you soon.” I kissed her slightly rounded pouch. “Cutest thing ever! Later, we will discuss our co-parenting schedule.” I chuckled. “You got the ring?” Irina asked. I held up my pinky finger. “Armed and dangerous!” The ring helped take the edge off. Unfortunately, the cat was out of the bag. Nothing could put the cat back in the fucking bag
