Pulled to the Alpha (Alphas in Heat 5)

“Those are your friends?” I ask as we walk on.

He shakes his head. “It’s my crew. My family.” He looks at me and smiles. “Our family.”

I can’t help but smile back.

It’s crazy how all of my stuff is on the other side of the country, but this small mountain town is starting to feel like home.

And I’m slowly starting to realize…

That I don’t want to leave.

Chapter Nine

Blake

Kimberly greets us with a smile when we walk into Carl’s diner.

“I heard that our fearless chief was walking around town with a hot brunette on his arm, but I didn’t believe it,” she says with a grin as she looks Lily over.

I squeeze Lily’s arm a little tighter, happy to be showing her off.

“I’m Kimberly, waitress extraordinaire and stunningly beautiful mate of our dear Westin. Welcome to the crew and to the restaurant.”

“Thank you,” Lily says with a blush in her cheeks.

Kimberly gives us the best seat in the house, which is a rundown faded yellow booth that should have been replaced decades ago.

“Do you take all your dates to this beautiful place?” she asks as she looks around with an amused grin.

“Just the ones I’m falling in love with,” I answer and her cheeks get a little darker.

I’d rather take her to a fancy five-star restaurant with the finest food and best champagne in the world, but there’s nothing like that in Blackcloud Point. And besides, once she tries Carl’s cooking, she won’t be complaining. The ugliest restaurants that have been around forever always have the best food.

I should be looking around for traces of our dragon friend—actually, I shouldn’t have even let my girl leave my house—but I keep getting distracted with her sparkling brown eyes and soft curves that are making my fingers tingle with the need to explore.

I was worried about the guys getting distracted by their girls, but I never thought it would be me who was unable to pay attention to any possible dangers.

“What do you guys want?” Kimberly says as she arrives at our booth. Her baby bump is just starting to show. “Some shitty waffles or the even shittier omelet?”

Lily looks at me and I just shrug. “Don’t listen to her. The food is not that bad.”

“Oh, yes it is,” Kimberly snaps back. “It’s horrible. It’s criminally bad. Carl should be in solitary confinement in the basement of a jail for the rest of his life for serving this mush.”

“Really?” Lily asks, staring up at her in horror.

Kimberly takes pity on her and laughs. “It’s not so bad actually. Best place in town.”

“It’s the only place in town,” I correct.

“Exactly.”

Lily orders some eggs and toast and I order the Hungry Man’s Breakfast, my usual.

We spend breakfast talking and falling in love. She’s amazing. Smart, funny, and very sharp. I can see how she rose so fast through the ranks of the FBI.

After we’ve eaten and Kimberly refills our coffees, Lily leans in close. “Did you really kill Aylwin and Reginald?”

I trust her now completely. “They attacked us so we defended ourselves and took their lives.”

“And Sperling?”

“He escaped.”

She looks nervous. “Do you have any idea how dangerous he is?”

“He wanted to hurt you,” I say. “That’s as dangerous as they come according to me.”

“If you see him again, I want you to call me right away.”

My eyes narrow on her. “If you see him again, I want you to call me right away.”

There’s no way I want my girl anywhere near that guy. It won’t happen.

“Anyway, he’s probably on the other side of the planet by now,” she says as she takes a sip of her coffee. “Let’s talk about happy stuff. For the first time in a long time, I don’t want to think about work.”

“Happy stuff, huh?” I ask as I pour some milk into my coffee. “Okay. How many kids do you want to have?”

Her eyes widen. “How many do you want?”

“At least ten.”

“Ten?” she says with a gasp. “I was thinking one.”

“Let’s meet in the middle. Five.”

She shakes her head, but I can tell she’s interested. “Five, eh? Then we’d better get started.”

I couldn’t agree more.

We’re making out in the parking lot and then she’s taking my hand and pulling me to my pickup truck.

“I just want to stay all day in bed with you,” she says as she ignores her ringing phone. “I haven’t taken a day off in years. He can figure it out himself.”

I kiss her hard on the lips and wrap my big arms around her, holding her possessively as my bear rumbles. “Then let’s go home.”

I can’t take my eyes off her as she gets into the truck. I love watching her. Every curve, every movement, it’s all just eye candy to me.

When we’re riding on the two-lane expressway, Lily’s hands start to explore my body and gets a little bolder as she looks up at me with mischievous eyes.

My cock hardens as her hand gets closer to it. “Your house is so far away,” she whines as she looks at my erection that’s straining against the inside of my jeans.” What can we do to pass the time until then?”

A groan falls from my mouth as she presses her palm against my raging cock and drags it up my shaft. If she does it again, I’m going to cum in my pants.

I’m trying to keep one eye on the road and one on her as she opens my belt and starts to unzip. She reaches into my pants and moans when she pulls out my throbbing cock.

It’s got sticky pre-cum leaking out already, but she cleans it up with her soft tongue, moaning as she drinks me down.

I squeeze the steering wheel and curse under my breath as she takes me all the way in, dragging her tongue down my shaft as her soft lips pucker around it.

I look ahead at the road as I focus on her warm mouth and what it’s doing to me. It feels incredible. She sounds like she’s enjoying it just as much as me with all of the little mewls and moans of pleasure she’s making.

“How does your man’s cock feel in your mouth?”

She moans and the hum it makes on my shaft nearly sets me off. Her fingers wrap around it with a firm grip and she starts jerking me off as she looks up at me. “Amazing,” she whispers.

I grin, knowing I’m the only one she’s been this intimate with. It fills me with pride and joy.

“Then, I better keep going.” She gives me a sexy smile and then drops her head back down, taking me all in with an eagerness that makes my heart do a little flip.

I’m distracted and in heaven with her lips wrapped around me when there’s a sudden crunching of metal over my head. The truck jerks to the side and I try to turn the steering wheel to keep straight, but it’s not working. Nothing is working. I hit the breaks but we don’t stop moving.

“What the hell?” I mutter as I look around, confused.

Lily wipes her lips as she pops up. “Oh my God!” she gasps as her wide eyes stare at the roof of the truck. I look up and see several long red talons pierced through the roof, gripping it. Deadly black nails are sunk into the fabric, tearing it as realization hits.

I slam my foot onto the gas but the engine just roars and the truck doesn’t move any faster.

“Blake!” Lily screams as she grips my forearm.

The truck starts rising.

The cars beside us disappear and get smaller as the red dragon carries my truck, and my mate, away.

Chapter Ten

Lily

I scream until my own ears hurt. The truck keeps swaying and jerking around violently as the dragon carries us through the mountains. We’re so fucking high up!

Every movement makes my stomach sink. It feels like I’m going to throat up.

The trees look like twigs and I think I just saw a cloud pas

s by my window.

Blake’s arms are wrapped protectively around me like he can save me from anything, but even he can’t save me from this. A fall from this high will flatten the truck, let alone me.

If Reginald wants us dead, we’re dead.

“I’m sorry,” Blake is whispering as he clutches onto me. “I’m so sorry, Lily. It’s my fault.”
