The Code of The Alpha Chapter 53
Bates was waiting for me when I pulled into the parking lot of the training fields the next morning.Norah pulled into the parking lot soon after with Torrey getting out of the passenger seat."Why do I feel like I'm being ambushed?" Bates asked warily."I need you to take us to the Cellar," I said.He stared at me incredulously."Is this a joke?" He asked.I shook my head."I think my mate is there," Torrey said, wringing her hands nervously.Bates looked at her with pity, briefly, before his attention returned to me."Get Luca involved," he said."We can't," Norah told him."He'd flip his shit and you know it.""You don't think he's going to flip his shit when he finds out I've gone behind his back and broken rules?" He asked her.I stepped in front of him as he tried to leave."If it was your mate, wouldn't you do anything to get to her?"He huffed and leaned in closer to me, lowering his voice."You and I both know what's down there," he whispered."Maybe it's best that she not go

I woke up to a bright light in my eyes.Squinting, I pulled away from the light, pressing my head further back into the pillow."Good morning," a voice said softly.I opened my eyes back up to see Dr. Witt's face hovering above me as she put her flashlight into the pocket of her scrubs.Sitting up, I immediately felt a wave of nausea wash over me before a hand against my shoulder pressed me back down onto the bed."Take it easy," she said."You're going to give yourself a headache.I already had one. It felt like it was splitting my skull in half."Can you remember anything?" She asked.I nodded slowly as the recollection began, playing in my mind like a movie reel. I could remember what had happened, just not why it had happened.Gulping, I winced as the saliva slid down my throat; burning the whole way as if I'd taken a shot of hard liquor."You likely have minor tracheal trauma," she told me, noticing the pain that registered in my expression."It doesn't look like you have a concu

"Don't look at me like that," he pleaded, pulling me into the stream of water.I closed my eyes as the water rolled down my face, opening them again when I felt Luca place the soap into my hand."You can do the rest," he said, backing away.I watched as he left the shower, grabbing another towel that hung on a hook. He wrapped it around his waist and left the bathroom. I looked down at the soap, wishing he hadn't avoided the intimate areas on my body as he had helped me wash off.After a few more minutes in the shower, I got out to dry off and wrap my own towel around me. Reaching out to wipe the steam from the mirror, I gasped as Inoticed the hand-shaped bruise on my neck. Raising my hand to touch it gingerly, I traced its outline.I almost died.I would likely have to stare at the bruise for several days, reminded each time I looked at it what a fool I was. How naive I was. How absolutely idiotic I was.What was I thinking?Why did I do that?For the life of me, I couldn't remember

Three weeks and three days earlier.…"What you're suggesting is absurd and outdated," Philip argued, defending his stepson.Luca sat at the head of the table, his elbow propped against the chair's armrest as he twirled a pen between his fingers. Though he appeared calm and collected, he raged inside.The thirteen men sitting around the table-not including Bates, Blaine, and Lincoln-were elders he had chosen himself. Accountability and distribution of responsibility had been his reasons for their appointment, but he suddenly remembered why his grandfather hated the idea of a council that held anAlpha responsible: they held the Alpha responsible.While tradition clearly dictated that an Alpha was to only mate with a woman within his pack, there were no formal consequences for not following it. It was done only because it had been done for generations, many modern packs having abandoned the practice entirely.Of course they did. Their packs were run by Alphas who made their pack's rules

"Use your words," he prompted."I can't," I said breathlessly.His fingers moved quicker inside of me, his thumb applying more pressure.The orgasm came over me quickly, causing my whole body to quake and a moan to tumble from my mouth.Luca crawled back over me, his body resting between my shaking legs.My eyes opened to see him above me, watching in amusement as I tried to form a coherent thought."I feel like you're stalling," I said finally, letting out a shallow laugh at the offended expression he gave me."I'm just warming you up, baby."I rolled my eyes. "Is that not what we've done for the past two weeks?" I asked.He gave me a cocky smile before leaning down to kiss my neck."You're giving a lot of attitude to someone who won't be able to walk tomorrow," he muttered against my skin.Luca pulled away and leaned over me before I heard the drawer of his nightstand open. I kissed the skin of his bare chest that hovered over me and reached down to begin massaging his erection thro

Morning sex was everything it was cracked up to be.Luca cuddled me onto his naked chest afterwards. I could hear his rapid heart rate slowing as my ear pressed against his skin. I looked down at where my hand was resting against his torso, seeing the diamond ring. Wiggling my finger, I watched the sparkle of the radiant-cut gem in the morning light that filtered in through the window behind the bed."Do you like it?" Luca asked me, his voice drowsy and deep.Those were the first words he'd spoken that morning, despite the fact that we'd been awake for several minutes.I looked up at him and smiled, nodding my head before looking back at the ring."It's mesmerizing," I admitted."Now you know how I feel when I look at you."I poked his abs at the cheesy comment, making him chuckle. Just before he could say something else, we both heard his phone vibrating on the nightstand where it was. He turned over to look at the screen, putting the phone back down unanswered."Who is that?" I aske

I made breakfast for the both of us, reigning in the conversation by venturing too far as we ate. Bates laughed at me as I winced at the ache in my hips getting down from the stool. This caused him to have to defend himself against the fork I tried to stab him with.He caught my hand mid-air, stopping the assault to stare at my ring."I liked the one I picked out better," he commented, observing it."That's not what you say upon seeing someone's engagement ring for the first time," I laughed."Oh, sorry," he said, clearing his throat."Oh my God, it's so gorgeous, I can't even," he said in a high-pitched voice."How did he do it? Did he get down on one knee?Oh my God...''I laughed."Yes," I answered. "He did, in fact, get down on one knee."His eyebrows furrowed"Assuming this happened between yesterday morning and today," he guessed."Did he propose here?"I nodded."Where?" He asked, the crease between his eyebrows deepening."In his closet," I answered, giggling.Bates raised an

"Do you want to come and stay here?" I asked her."You're joking," she said slowly."I'm being one-hundred percent serious. I could leave right now and you would be here by tomorrow morning.""I don't think that would help," she said."My dad is already losing it. I doubt me disappearing suddenly would aid the situation."But if you don't feel safe there-""I'm okay, Carrie. Really. Besides, I can't imagine Luca's pack would be any safer. Especially if my dad agrees to the raid.""What do you mean if?" I asked."He's not going to, right?""I don't know anymore. I see his resolve diminishing a little more every day. I'm not sure what your dad is telling him, but he seems to be convincing," she said."Mady, that's a bad idea," I warned."They can't do that. Luca's wolves here... they're not like our wolves at home. They actively train for things like this. They're prepared.""I know that. My dad knows that. He's tried to tell your dad, he's just not getting through to him. I guess your
