Finally Home Taming of a White Wolf (16 page)

Epilogue

Diavolo sat back at his desk with a Cheshire grin on his face
.
This had worked out perfectly; the plan couldn't have gone any better.
His men had done exactly as they were told.
They had kept the compound busy, all of them running around like chickens with their heads cut off. He now had everything in place to get what he deserved.

His private phone rang and he knew who it was. He picked it up. "Roarke," he said into the phone.

"Well?” Roarke demanded.

"All went as planned. Everything is set as we hoped it would be. We should start hearing soon. Our contact informed me that we were not so successful in London. She got away—
again
. I am now leaving that to you, it was your problem to begin with, you deal with it,” Diavolo informed him.

"Oh, I'm going to take care of it, all right,” Roarke told him.

"Make sure you do it quick, we don't want to see any issues from her father,” Diavolo warned him.

Roarke growled. "Step carefully there. I am in charge. I am the one who set this all up. You do not want me as an enemy.”
The threat was clear
.

Diavolo laughed, and thought,
this little prick was coming to the end of his days for talking to him like that
. "I am just reminding you of what and who we are dealing with. I will continue to keep you informed regarding the compound."

Roarke didn't answer, just hung up. Diavolo leaned back. He could be patient—somewhat. It was just a matter of time until he got what he wanted. Now that all was set, the Senate was about to learn he meant business.

A new plan was forming, though, in his head,
maybe the time had come for him to take care of the loose ends that asshole left behind
. Tina was set to arrive in a fortnight, and Roarke was moving his headquarters yet again because he had been found. Yep, it all may need to be reevaluated when he had his slave girl back, and maybe a friend or two, watching Frederica and Jax in action tonight had only made him hard. The steel look in both of their eyes. He wondered if it was part of the special blood.

It seemed all of the women who were destined to become a member of the Senate were strong and willful. Including that little bitch they were seeking. Mia may be a human, but he had seen for himself her spirit and at the time, he had passed it off as human arrogance; however, now that he had a chance to think about it, maybe it was something else.

Diavolo picked up his phone and made a call. “I need the blood sample I delivered to you weeks ago for analysis, I think there may be something else we are missing. These women should be weak and compliant and none of them are. They seem a bit more like Warriors, even the human seems too strong.”

“I will have the results to you by the end of the week,” the voice said, and he snorted and hung up.

He didn’t trust Roarke either so he dialed another number by heart. “Do you want to make some money?”

“Who is this?” the man asked.

“You know who this is, stop playing games, I asked you if you wanted to make some money, gods know you could use it,” Diavolo said with a sneer.

“Awww, I thought you had stopped caring, where have you been?” the man asked curiously.

“None of your business, I asked you a question, money or not. I don’t really care,” Diavolo snapped.

“Fine, no need to get so snappy. Did you miss a meal or something, or maybe your latest victim didn’t struggle enough?” the man laughed.

“I should have killed you when our mother gave birth to you. Get your ass to England and look for the man I am sending you a picture of. Kill him and bring me the girl, no detours and possibly you will be alive to celebrate your next birthday. Cross me on this, and I will kill you and piss on your carcass,” Diavolo yelled.

“Now, now big brother, we wouldn’t want anyone to find out your dirty little secret,” the man said.

Shifter Justice Book One

Prologue

These records had to be fucking wrong, there was no way that asshole was supposed to be the Prince of Wolves, as the “Redeemer,” he was supposed to have gotten everything. The wolf paced around the room, stupid Elders think they know everything. His mother,
boo hoo
, turns up pregnant from a visiting wolf, she cheated on her true mate.
How was that even possible?
His father had solved that though when she gave birth, and he scented the betrayal on the babies. He killed her, took him, and gave his snotty ass twin away to the cheating bastard. Too bad the bastard had no clue she had two children. It was the ultimate price, although the asshole had no idea he was about to pay the piper for his indiscretion.

His whole life all he heard was how special he was. His father chose him to keep, to raise and groom him to become “The Redeemer.” Only he could plan this out to perfection, make his DNA donator pay for everything he had done. Ruined his father’s life, ruined his family, hell, ruined
his
life. Now, now he was going to pay, all of them would. His plan started so long ago it made him laugh; all of his little chess pieces were almost in place. His father taught him the game, and he had the patience to play it through.

It had started out small, his father taking him hunting when he was barely able to walk. Taught him how to use a blade to kill a deer before he could shift into his wolf, his father said he needed to know how to kill with his hands. Being a wolf was not a tool he would use to extract his revenge, because in his wolf form they could track him, as a human he could mask himself.

When “The Redeemer” figured out he loved the feel of blood running through his fingers, he learned all he could. Then he was given his purpose; his father gave him the task of helping all those unsuspecting bastards who were being cheated on.

He could remember when he was five, his father took him and showed him what cheating bitches did. They spread their legs for anyone and laughed behind their mate’s back. His father showed him what must be done, silencing them and making sure they couldn’t destroy another family.

He could hear him now, “If you are not true mates, your mate will cheat, she will leave you, search for her true mate. They are all whores of the wolf teaching, none of them understand that there is no true mating, because female wolves will never allow themselves to mate to just one wolf, it is not in their nature.” His father was doing a service to mankind by teaching him to kill, they would all thank him and bow to him, he was “The Redeemer,” and soon they would all know.

She woke up shivering. What was wrong with her? She felt like she had been hit by a truck and finally opened one of her eyes. When she looked up, the light was too bright so she jerked them closed.
Good God
, she thought,
try again, she knew that she was not in her home. Where the fuck was she?

She turned her head and opened her hooded eyes. What the hell? It looked like a construction site. Her back and legs were so cold and she was shivering all over. She tried to get up, but her hands were tied to something. When she opened her sluggish eyes further, she was strapped to a steel table where her hands were tied to each end of the table.

Missy looked down toward her legs and they were strapped to the table, too.
Shit
, she was naked and strapped to a cold steel table. Missy started to panic. All she could remember was being at the Coastal for drinks. Looking around the room, she tried to find anything that could help get her untied. There were tools everywhere, littering the floor and on the other table but too far for her to reach.

Plastic was wrapped around the windows. Nothing looked familiar to her. There were papers that looked like plans lying on a table near the door. It appeared to be a new building under construction.

Missy jerked her head to the right hearing footsteps. She looked at the door when she saw someone walking down the dark hallway. When he got further into the light, Missy couldn’t believe it. What was he doing here and why was she tied to a table?

“Ah, I see you have finally woken up. It wouldn’t have been any fun if you had slept through it. Do you know who I am?”

Missy’s eyes narrowed as he came up beside the table, putting his hand on her arm, rubbing up and down. She grimaced as she felt his touch; fuckin’ bastard was going to pay for touching her.

Missy finally found her voice, “Look, we had some good times, but this is going too far. Let me loose now and I will leave.” His answer was moving his hands further down her chest, finding her breasts, and squeezing them hard.

“I am going to give you freedom. You have cheated; when you came on to me, I could see it. Your mate would not be happy to know you are with me right now, would he?” he said and laughed at her discomfort.

“Hey stop, and let me up. NOW!” she yelled.

He finally looked down at her and smiled. He walked over to the table and pulled duct tape out of a bag. Then he cut off a piece of the tape and walked back over to Missy. She was watching him closely and when he got closer, she knew he meant to put the tape over her mouth.

“HELP…” Missy screamed.

“I am going to help you, show you the error of your ways, so when you meet the devil you can fully accept what you have done wrong. And give him a message for me, will ya? I am sending someone special to him soon, he needs to be ready for his gift.” The Redeemer laughed, held up the knife, and looked down at her.

Meridian Warriors Book One

By Jana Leigh & Zack Collins

Prologue

“
We are losing the battle with the Hopis, they have powerful weapons, and I fear soon they will break through our defenses, no matter what we do,” the King said to Xander.

“”
Their numbers are too many, no matter how many Warriors I have; we will not defeat them. Sir, we should think of evacuation,” Xander said.

Xander was the leader of the Warriors, he was the one the King went to for military strategies, and so far, in this battle they had done well. Partly because they were underwater and the Hopis didn’t know how to fight underwater, but fighting was not what they wanted—it was the water. And they had finally found a way to begin draining the planet.

“
Sir, our planet is being sucked dry from its resources. Our greatest protection from others was our water. We have lived hidden from everyone for millennia. The Hopis have developed a way to steal the water from our surface,” Xander explained. “There is a large ship on the farthest side of the planet, which they are using to exact the water. Every day it goes down further and further, soon we will not be able to hide.”

They lived in a huge force field built around the ships their ancestors arrived to the planet in. It was amazing. They built homes, buildings, and businesses as they moved out of their ships. They grew food, learned to live underwater, and flourished in the new environment.

The Meridians were an intelligent species, and their technology was advanced. They found in their travels that many of the other species were eager to buy and learn what the Meridians were more than happy to teach and sell.

According to the scripts, they evolved over time to adapt to their surroundings. The Meridians were known for their shifting ability. When in the water their legs changed into one long tail with scales that allowed them to swim and hunt underwater.

The Hopis were people from another planet only two light years from them, they were vermin. While traveling the universe, they found their planet, Meridian. Meridian was a small planet whose surface was entirely covered in water. At first, the Hopis didn’t bother the planet because it didn’t seem inhabited. The Hopis planet was inhibited and they thought they could just use the water resources for their own, coming back every few years and filling their tanks with water.

When they discovered by accident through their defense field that there were inhabitants on the planet—the attacks began. They wanted the water for their own, along with the Meridian’s technology.

For thirty years, Xander led the Warriors in protecting their home planet. However, the Hopis would not give up. Through many prisoner interrogations, they learned the Hopis home planet had dried up a century ago, sending its inhabitants into space to find water for their people. They thought they hit the payload with Meridian—only to find out that Xander and his people were there.

They wanted the water, but when they found some of the technology the Meridian had, they wanted that too. The Hopis were brutal in their attack, Xander grimaced a little as he thought about the torture many of his men succumbed to. “Sir, what can we do?”
Xander asked.
