Alpha's Obsession With His Pet Chapter 88 – The Circle Breaks
(Parker)The town has one diner, one gas station, and a motel with nine rooms.I've been watching all three since yesterday noon.Cole's men are watching the roads.From the diner window I can keep an eye on the other two while sitting in front of a coffee I don't drink.Rene sent a message an hour ago.Valeria struck and failed.Zack's untouched.Tova took a cord across the arm and survived swearing all the way.My hands were clenched into fists for a long time after that last part.I didn’t think I’d ever be interested in a woman again, but Tova sparks something inside me.'The witch will come here,' my wolf says. 'Wounded animals go to ground they know.'She's not wounded.That's the thing none of them understand yet.Eleven years I've watched this circle work, always one step behind.They don't rage and they don't give up.They calculate.And the calculation changed this morning.They’ll regroup and look for a different way.The bus from the county line comes in at four.Three peo
Alpha's Obsession With His Pet Chapter 87 – The House Thins
(Angelique)Three SUVs pull out of the front lot before eight and I count the men in them from the window.Nine.Parker, Cole and seven guards.Headed north, after Valeria, on the lead Maliyah handed over without prompting.Nine men out of a house that already emptied itself of crowning guests two days ago.My wolf paces.'Too quiet,' she says. 'Count again.'I don’t want to but I can’t stop myself.The gate has two men instead of four.The garden door has one.Rene's downstairs with Knox, going over what the healer gave up under his reading.He didn't want to leave the wing.Knox needed him and I told him to go, because the house is warded now, because the insider's in a cell, because we caught the second face and I let myself believe that meant we'd caught up.Zack's in the kitchen with me and Tova, negotiating for a second waffle he's already lost interest in."Mama, watch."He holds up a fork with the waffle speared whole."Giant food.""Giants use plates.""No they don't. They us
Alpha's Obsession With His Pet Chapter 86 – The Man From Karth
(Maliyah)The door opens and it's neither the guard with my tray nor the Warden with his patient face, so I sit up straight.It's the guest.The consecrated one they gave a bed for the crowning.Parker Frey. The man who falsely claimed Angelique and her brat.He was a problem I was going to get to once the crowning was over.He shuts the door himself. The guard outside lets him, so the Warden must have sent him.He doesn't sit.He stands a careful few feet back, hands loose at his sides, and looks at me the way I look at everyone else.Weighing what I'm worth.I've spent my life on the other end of that look."You've been under this roof for weeks and didn’t have anything to say to me," I tell him."Now that I can't bite, you come to see me. Say what you came to say. I have real problems to worry about.""Emmy," he says.The name lands on nothing."Should that mean something?""My daughter. She was three."Nothing shifts in his voice on the word, and that's the tell, that it doesn't s
Alpha's Obsession With His Pet Chapter 85 – What the Old Wolf Owes
(Victor)Knox is already in the chair across from my desk when I come in, and there's a single sheet of paper on the wood between us.Face up.I don't need to read it. I know the hand. Cramped, slanted, a healer three winters in the ground.‘Spacing inconsistent w/ single attacker. Query second set?’"Warden."I lower myself into the chair.My knees complain. The voice doesn't.Forty years of pack politics, it had better not."You could have sent your clerk with that.""I could have." He folds his hands in his lap. "I wanted to bring it myself."Then he stops talking.That's his whole method.He sets the thing down and lets the quiet do the work."My records," I say. "Ten years old. The rogue that killed my Beta.""Theodore Pruitt."He says the name gently, the way you'd say it to family."The clerk flagged that page yesterday. I've read the rest of the file twice since.""And?""It's the cleanest fatality file I've handled in nine years on the Council."He tips his head."Statements
Alpha's Obsession With His Pet Chapter 84 – Every Locked Door
(Angelique)He's waiting in his room when I come up from checking on Zack, sitting on the edge of the bed, watching the door like he knew which minute I'd walk through it."He's asleep," I say. "Tova's on the cot. Guards on the door.""You've been quiet since Knox took the healer downstairs. Quiet the way you go right before you shut me out.""I'm tired.""You're scared."He stands."A woman went to our son's door today to kill him, and you're up here white as a sheet and still won't open up to me. Tell me all of it, Angelique."My wolf is annoyed with my continued reticence.'Tell him,' she says. 'You've run out of road, coward.'"I’m worried someone could be listening," I admit.He takes my wrist, pulls me into the bathroom, and turns the shower on hot so the water covers our voices.Steam climbs between us."Now nobody hears but me," he says. "Talk."So I do."The reason the coven wants Zack dead."My voice is already breaking."There's a prophecy. A child born of a goddess blessed
Alpha's Obsession With His Pet Chapter 83 – The Second Face
(Parker)By noon Monday the lot's half empty and I've looked at too many faces.None of them are the one.I’m not going to be able to find the second watcher by scent.She'll read clean, same as everyone else here.The way to find her is by noticing the thing she does that a real person wouldn't.So I walk the halls with a coffee I don't drink and I wait for one of them to move wrong.Cole's list is good.Every hire in five years, every guest finding a reason to stay.But the coven doesn't plant a name.They plant a habit the house stopped noticing years ago.I'm on the stairs when the healer comes up them.Older woman. Soft shoes, a canvas bag, the kind of face that's been in the background so long nobody really notices her.I've passed her three times since Sunday and written her off every time."Afternoon," she says."Afternoon."She keeps climbing.Toward the family wing.Toward the room that’s now across the hall from mine, where a four-year-old hasn’t stopped freaking out happil
Alpha's Obsession With His Pet Chapter 12 – The Owner
(Rene)Cole's been in the doorway ten seconds working up to something, which is nine longer than I've got patience for tonight."What?""Our lookout in the town. The one keeping eyes on the roadhouse."He picks each word like giving me the wrong one could explode in his face."The owner's been aski
Alpha's Obsession With His Pet Chapter 7 – Pet
(Rene)The boy falls asleep in the car before we clear the gate, and I'm glad, because it means she has nothing to hide behind when we get to the house.I have Cole take the kid to a room on the far side of the residence.Angelique watches him carried away down a corridor she doesn't know, in a hou
Alpha's Obsession With His Pet Chapter 6 – What the Herbs Hide
(Angelique)Twenty minutes to dismantle a life.It's not as hard as it should be.That's the part that hollows me out, how little there is.Zack's clothes.The shoebox of his drawings.One good blanket.My documents, the fake ones and the realer ones, taped inside a vent I pried open with a butter
Alpha's Obsession With His Pet Chapter 5 – The Whelp
(Rene)I told my men one hour.I told myself I'd wait it out at the hotel like an Alpha with a shred of self-control.Instead I'm leaning on the door of a trailer that smells like mildew, cheap soap, and her, and self-control can go to hell.Her scent is everywhere out here.Worn into the doorframe
