~Gemma~ “Well, alpha. I’m assuming it’s natural due to the peculiarity of it. I met a wolf with white hair once. And I don’t mean that pastel, Elsa from Frozen weird look. I’m talking Crayola white.” “Am I supposed to know what any of that means?” His brow rose, an air of superiority dancing around him. Surprise, surprise. Another alpha but there’s nothing new. Was it an inborn characteristic flaw for them? Their damning arrogance? “Not up-to-date on your Disney movies, alpha? What a shame. I’m a fan of the classics myself.” His warring emotions danced over my skin. “Am I frustrating you? I promise I won’t be offended if you take your leave.” I took a sip of my fruity, alcoholic beverage and reclined further into my lounger. “If my company is unwelcome, perhaps I will take the boy and go.” He lounged on the other chair, looking comfortable and confident. And his patience with me unraveled by the minute. No doubt the handsome alpha usually commanded more attention from the opposi
~Gemma~ “And you will escort Rina home? Leave guards with her until we are sure there is no threat to her?” I asked, trying to make sense of Alpha Zander’s offer. Rina’s face was set in a stubborn mask. Not good. “I don’t need protection from a wolf. I live in a building that has proper protections in place, magical wards and all that.” “Do you plan on staying inside 24/7? What about when you leave the building?” I helpfully pointed out. She slumped back in her chair. I understood. Truth often sucked. We sat inside a nearby restaurant, mainly to resolve my hanger. Rina poked at her salad. I devoured my burger with zeal. I stole fries from the alpha's plate whenever he looked away. Alpha Zander had his son taken away to safety. Rina and I negotiated with the wolf. Between her moody butt, my stubborn ass, and the arrogant alpha, shit got messy. “We don’t need them!” Irina hissed. “Think hard and you will remember the start of your troubles began with them! Cut them out of our live
~Gemma~ Botched it! Forget the wolves, Irina proved to be the biggest obstacle. Why did that surprise me? “Please, Irina, do this for me. This is my fault! Let me fix it. This stalker, or whatever the hell the situation is, doesn’t want you. They have a bone to pick with me. I will go with this new alpha for now, until it doesn’t suit my purposes anymore. Then, I will see myself right the fuck out of here. And you will be safe.” I hugged her. “There is no harm in playing it safe. We have a lot at stake now. Bigger picture, remember?” “Fine! The stuff I do for love! I am madly in love with you. You know that, right?” She said, lips pressed into a hard line. “Of course.” I shrugged a single shoulder. “How could you not be?” I grasped her hands in mine, saying loud enough for all to hear. “Just promise me you won’t maim or otherwise kill Thing 1 and Thing 2?” At the two guard’s blank expressions, I continued. “No? Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum?” “I think we can handle a single witch o
~Gemma~ We rolled up to the mansion just as the first hint of night covered the sky. I yawned, so ready to put this day behind me. I stepped out of the vehicle and stretched. My eyes felt heavy. My bones felt heavy. Probably from the exhausting weight of my existence. Just my presence endangered Rina and her precious bundle. And now I had dragged Alpha Zander into my mess as well. The Moon Tide's mansion was huge, gaudy, exorbitant. The porch welcomed us with its tall columns and heavy, wooden double-doors. I was told only select pack members lived here, mainly the Beta and family and Gamma and family, a security team, and the household workers. The pack owned the condo buildings flanking the mansion. Most of the pack resided there. Alpha Zander took my elbow and steered me toward the front door. “What troubling thoughts are running through your head, witch?” “Nice digs.” I commented, intent on not answering him. He may be alpha and I may technically be his prisoner, but he didn
~Gemma~ “What are you doing in Miami, witch?” Alpha Zander growled. I crossed my arms and turned away from him. I saved his life and this is the motherfucking thanks I get? Next time, I may not be as generous. “Should I point out that I can make you talk? I am not in the habit of being disobeyed.” “Goddess save me from your damn wolves!” I huffed and sat on the bed. “I do not like being threatened, Alpha. I am your guest and appreciative of your generosity. But do not back me into a corner. You won’t appreciate my behavior.” I promised. “Of that, I am certain. It is in our best interest if you cooperate. So tell me, why are you in Miami?” He walked over, lording over me with his height and admirably muscled body. I looked up at him and smiled. “I, sir, am on vacation. I previously explained why I was here. No matter how many times I’m asked, my answer will be the same. I came to visit my kin. I came for vacation.” “And?” He put a finger under my chin, forcing eye contact. “And
~Alpha Devlin~ “Fuck!” I yelled, tossing my glass across the room. Tyson and Sammie appeared unimpressed with my outburst. My skin itched with uncomfortable sensations. My wolf longed for his mate. Hell, I was desperate just to hear the sound of her voice. The distance ate at my sanity. “She blocked my number, too.” Tyson admitted. “I guess we fucking deserve it.” “Speak for yourselves. My babe didn’t block me.” Sammie scowled at us. “She texted me from Atlanta.” “Why didn’t you mention this earlier?” I barked at her. She met my wrath with a damning calm only she-wolves could pull off. “Neither of you asked. I didn’t know she was avoiding you. Oh, other than the fact she fled across the damn country to get away from you.” She eyed us with cool disdain. “Besides your stupid Luna Trials, what else did you do to send her packing?” She looked from me to Tyson. I rubbed my face with the palm of my hand. “Fuck these trials. Tyson, get rid of our visitors.” “You can’t…” he began but
~Gemma~ Yeah. Hot chocolate solved nothing. It had just been a ploy, a momentary distraction. We piled in the guest room the alpha designated as mine. At the moment, negotiations nosedived from tense to hostile. The Beta remained insistent. Rina remained, well, Rina. “I know my rights, wolf! I can reject you, reject this bond.” Irina glared, her eyes shining bright. Her powers barely leashed. We all experienced the biting sting of her anger. “You are my fucking mate and I will not relinquish my claim!” Beta Solar roared with defiance. “Nor will I allow you to set me aside, witch.” Irina turned her back on him, her lips puckering in a pout. So freaking adorable! I rolled my eyes at her mate. “Please understand, Beta Solar. The uneasiness between wolves and witches has raged long before our births. Rina and I have suffered at the hands of wolves. We have suffered at the hands of humans. And, we have suffered at the hands of our own kind. Forgive us if our hearts are soured by li
~Gemma~ “Thanks for the drink. Goodnight.” I set the glass on the table, waiving on my way out. “Are you abandoning me with this situation? What am I supposed to do with this?” A trickle of heat danced over my bare arms. “Excuse me? What situation?” I spun around. The bulge in his pants made it apparent. “Yup. I am totally abandoning this situation. I didn’t cause this. You and the Moon Goddess are to blame.” The goddess swam close to the surface. I blinked, imagining suppressing her in the depths of the ocean. “What if I order you to resolve this?” His eyes blazed with the belief he could take what he wanted. “Women throw themselves at my feet and I am offering you the opportunity to warm my bed.” Gag! “You can’t order me!” I made a face. “I don’t like you very much, Alpha Zander. You speak with no empathy or tact. Shall I remind you I have a mate? I’m learning to navigate that without complicating shit further.” “None of those are obstacles that cannot be overcome.” He dismisse
