All Chapters of Thunder Heart: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Lilly left half way through Harry's speech. I rolled my eyes as she walked past. Of course, I wanted to leave as well but it was disrespectful. Especially for her, considering she would be first in line to be his mate.  As the speeches ended and pack matters concluded, everyone began to huddle into separate conversations. I hated the gossiping. I was always topic number one. Two females made it no secret that they were discussing me. When I locked eyes with the taller blonde, she pulled her friend away arm and arm.  Diana found me and pulled me near the fireplace where the higher ups were standing. The triad consisted of my uncle Humphrey, Harry, and a liaison representing for the supreme alpha.  "Alpha," my mother said to the English alpha. He turned and smiled when he saw me. "This is my baby, Tallia." He took my hand without me offering it, which rattled my senses. &nbs

As promised he drove me home. But it was the next morning. We both had fallen asleep on the couch. Oddly enough, I felt we both needed the rest. When I awoke he had fresh croissants on the coffee table and hot cinnamon tea in a mug. He bounded down the stairs in a light blue button up shirt that was not buttoned up.  I averted my eyes back to the croissants as he put himself together. I was not used to seeing a man like him without his shirt. It was even more erotic that I only saw where the opening allowed me. "I was hoping to be ready when you awoke," he admitted.  I smirked as I enjoyed the tea. "What time is it? And how much trouble am I in with Humphrey?"  He snickered. "None," he took a seat beside me. "I woke up an hour ago and explained everything."I nodded. "Your word goes farther than mine, I suspect." "Being alpha has its perks," he checked his w

Emory was in an odd mood, but I didn't push him. He clearly had things on his mind. When we came upon Tully's Bar we could see there were more people than usual. I chucked it up to a hockey game or two for one shots. When we walked in Emory saw some republican members and left me standing without word.  I walked up to the bar, not even knowing what to order. The bartender was a friend of Humphrey and gave me an indignant look before handing me a coke and a raised eyebrow.  It was frowned upon for a woman of my position and prospect to be seen at a bar, and even more so drinking alcohol.  "Want a beer instead?" A tall blonde male shouted over the noise of the crowd. I had been right, there was a hockey game on.  "No," the bartender snapped as he cleaned a glass. I took my coke thankfully and tried to walk away but the male wasn't going to be shrugged off easily. 

As I slept Harry took the opportunity to speak to Rob. Harry drove to the bachelor's townhomes near HQ, his knuckles growing white as he furiously held onto the wheel. When Rob came to the door he did not seem surprised to see Harry on his stoop.  "I'm not backing off Cavendish. Cousin or no." He responded immediately.  "Our wolves have chosen each other," Harry explained as calmly as he could. "You will back off or I will call Rites." "Then I will win Tally," Rob shrugged. "But I would rather her go for me because she is attracted to me and not because of pack law bullshit." Harry growled. "She's mine. You will not have her. I warn you, if you try me, I will cut you off from every pack. You will be a lone wolf. You know what happens to them." Rob rolled his eyes. "Why is it you're so afraid of a little competition?" "Because this is not a game," Ha

Harry entered the kitchen as I began putting the leftovers away.  "Did you like dinner?" I could not help but remark.  "The food or the entertainment?" He quipped. I laughed aloud despite the tense situation. "I hate leaving you with all this going on." I shrugged. "What's another day in my family?"  He nodded. "That's basically what Caleb said." "He's not wrong." "Tally, stop cleaning," he murmured as I scraped plates into the trash. I looked up to him. "I need to talk to you." I put down the empty plate on the counter and assessed him.  "What's wrong?" "Emory," he flat out said. "I see how affected you and your siblings are because of your mother's choices and unfortunately some really bad leadership." "I'll stop you right there," I held my hand up. "I ha
