All Chapters of Alpha (Reluctant Mates Book 1): Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

It was late into the night when something woke Grace. She listened carefully but whatever her wolf had detected while she slept was no longer happening. She finally felt able to get up and walk around and after disposing of the most recent effort to drug her, she began to inspect the room. Moving around was slow and painstaking since she had to tread as softly as she could, she couldn’t afford for her captors to realise she wasn’t doped up.Upon further inspection she discovered that not only was the door locked as she had expected but also that the windows were sealed. She looked out and saw nothing but forest surrounding the house. From the species of trees that she could make out and the lack of landmarks, she had a pretty good idea where they were and there wasn’t a pack for miles. This was wilderness for damn sure. She was far

As she flew into the room, the two men sitting opposite the TV didn’t have time to react. She swiped her right hand at the throat of one and landed a powerful kick to the other one’s chest, the force slammed him back into the wall, rendering him unconscious. Blood was now splattered across the room and Grace let her hunger take over, licking the blood from her hand. Her wolf was desperate to howl, desperate to escape, but she kept her focus.“Two down,” she murmured and made her way out of the room.Grace couldn‘t detect any other sound and wondered if the two in the basement had heard the scuffle. It felt too quiet. She moved slowly down the hallway until she reached the top of the stairs. When she couldn’t identify any movement, she desce

Grace stumbled back into the house and looked around wildly. She hadn’t killed all of her kidnappers and her energy was almost exhausted, if they attacked now, she’d have no chance. She needed to find Sawyer and get away, but there were two remaining wolves in her way. Her eyes swept the hallway and settled on a small passageway underneath the stairs. She followed it until she came to a staircase. Her heartbeat pounded in her chest as she descended slowly, wary of the two sent to lock Sawyer up. She found herself in another dark passageway, the air was musty, but she recognised it, it was where she had been held. He had to be there. She crept slowly until she came to a heavy wooden door.“Sawyer?” she called through the door and her heart lifted, she

Everything stopped when Apep held his hand up and Grace was once again impressed with the power of the dragons. Though he looked like he was hailing a taxi, he had managed to freeze every being present. Even Typhon stood completely immobile, his arms curled around Sawyer who seemed close to losing consciousness.“Come,” Apep said simply, extending his hand towards Grace.She didn’t dare look at Sawyer, if she met his eyes, she’d never have the strength to do what she needed to do. The strength to leave. Ignoring Apep’s hand, she silently came to stand beside him. Her body trembled but it wasn’t fear she felt, it was sadness. Leaving with the dragons terminated any hope she had for her and Sawyer. She hadn’t had much time to really con

“Get the fuck off me!” Sawyer yelled, struggling to free himself from Blaine’s grip.“You’re badly injured,” his Beta said gruffly but he loosened his grip and untied Sawyer’s bound wrists. “If you go after them now, you’re dead.”“I can’t let them take her.”Jerry placed a hand on his shoulder but before he could speak, they heard Grace’s voice.“No.”Sawyer’s eyes snapped to his mate and he watched her shake her head slowly. What was going on? He looked
