The Alphas’ P**n Star Mate

Lenny

POV

"Did she just call him Mr. Smith?" Kai hissed at me.

We were both perched in a tree about fifty yards from the run-down pool of the abandoned resort deep in the woods. We were just far enough that our scents wouldn't be detected, but to be safe, Rodger had us use scent maskers too. Kai was using his powers to amplify the conversation being had by the Alpha we followed all the way here. Neither of us expected him and what was left of his men to drive only forty miles from Setting Sun Pack. We really didn't expect to see the Alpha go in the abandoned resort and come out not even half an hour later "I heard it too." Mr. Smith. That woman definitely called the white hat-wearing man Mr. Smith.

with our missing friend.

Kai sank down on the branch, squinting his eyes as he tried to get a better view. "It's him. It's really him."

"How do you know?"

Kai looked embarrassed, averting his gaze so I couldn't see his eyes. "Don't tell Rodger, but I did the last gig Chloe had with Mr. Smith with her and Darren."

Of course, he did. Kai had a little crush on Chloe since she came to the club. It only ended when it was revealed that Mick was her second chance mate, and that she had a second mate in his twin. Kai was nowhere near as obsessive as Boyd, but he would have jumped at any chance to bed the girl. Rodger might be disappointed, but Chloe and Kai are both adults. Rodger can't even admit to his daughter that he's her father. I doubt he would say anything to Kai about doing a show with her.

I focused my binoculars on Boyd, listening in as best I could with the amplifying magic Kai had cast in their direction. I didn't expect to see Boyd there with the invading, horrendous Alpha, and it will surely complicate things for us more than they already are. We will have to treat this as a hostage situation for now.

The Alpha being Boyd and his friend's former Alpha, and the situation with his Luna being Boyd's fated mate complicates everything further. Things were already edging near dangerous with Boyd's contempt of Mick and jealousy of Chloe. "We're going to have to get all the information we can before going back to Rodger. Boyd being here changes everything.

Chloe POV

I felt hands, warm and soft, gliding over my face as light started to filter into the seams of my eyelids. I felt lighter, like I was high, floating on the clouds. "She's waking up," Nonna cooed. Her hands traveled over my face again, and then I felt another cooler pair of hands checking my wrist for a pulse.

"About time. I thought the boys were going to strangle the doctor the last time they came to check on her." That had to be Gail. The worry was thick in her tone. "Can you blame them? It's been three days."

Three days?!

"Cortina?" I reached for my wolf, wanting to feel reassurance from her before I opened my eyes.

"I'm here," she yawned, swishing her tail. "I'm just sleepy."

"Me too," I said, reluctant to open my eyes just yet. "What happened?"

Cortina was quiet for a long time, and both of our minds went back to the moments before we lost consciousness. What happened to us? I know I did something crazy; so wild that I can't really comprehend what it was. It was like I had energy extending from my hands like lightning. That's not possible though. Right?

"It felt like the time I took Rome from Cameron," Cortina finally said. "It felt.... It felt.... Like.... Magic."

"Magic? Like with Rodger?" Rodger was using his magic while we were out there trying to stop the invading red Alpha. All I really remember was this intense urge to save my mates. I felt this dread at the thought of losing them, and it just took over my entire body, and then it was like I was in a walking dream. There were purple clouds and everything.

"I think. We should talk to Rodger."

"I was on my way to talk to Rodger when we were invaded and attacked. The men aren't going to let me leave the pack house again."

"They're just going to put real guards that they can communicate with in the pack mind link with you. I'm sure they will still let you go."

"I'm not inconveniencing anyone. I'll just stay trapped in the damned pack house," I grumbled, hating the idea of being followed around by guards. It would be like being babysat, and no warrior wants to waste their time babysitting their Luna because she can't just stay in the pack house where she belongs.

With another swipe of Nonna's hand over my face, my eyes popped open to see hers and Luna Gail's worried expressions.

"Oh, Chloe," Gail grabbed my hand, kissing the back of it.

"Thank the goddess," Nonna whispered, pressing my other hand to her cheek, then kissing my palm. "You worried us dreadfully, nipote."

"You poor girl."

Nonna and Gail stood back as a team of doctors and nurses checked me over, even taking some of my blood for testing. I was lying in a luxurious hospital room at the clinic. The room smelled sterile, but I could catch whiffs of Miles and Mick, mostly on the bed. They must have stayed with me a lot over the last three days while I was sleeping. I wonder where they are now though.
