Broken Alpha by Paulina Vasquez (ebooks online reader TXT) 📕

phone started ringing and Dimitri rolled off me. I wasn’t sure if I was relieved or disappointed at being interrupted. I could hear Rae whimper. I looked at the screen and saw that it was Kosta calling me. Dimitri gave me a quizzical look and I answered it on speaker phone.

“Kalimera Kosta.” I answered.

“Hello, I was checking to make sure you’re okay. I heard the young lady from your dormitory was found.” He said.

“That’s wonderful news! I’m doing good, thank you.” I said.

“Yes, but listen to me carefully. Do not tell anyone where you’re at. There’s some trouble in the city and you should remain right where you are. Enjoy some sfougato and lay low until it’s sorted. Understand?” He said.

“Yes, I understand.” I said and he disconnected.

“I need to have Niko get in touch with his Uncle tonight. Kosta works independently and may have other information. He knows where you’re at.” Dimitri said.

“How do you know that Kosta knows where I’m at?”

“He told you to enjoy some sfougato. Elaina makes it every Saturday. Kosta used to be the beta of this pack.” He smiled.

“Kosta must know that Eros is looking for me.” I said out loud.

I wondered if I should call my father, but I knew he would make me come home. I couldn’t imagine leaving my mate but then again, I wasn’t sure what was happening in that department either. Most wolves would have mated and marked in the first twenty-four hours. He had found me last week and stayed away from me.

“Why don’t you want a mate?” I decided to ask.

“It’s complicated.” Was all he said.

“Well it’s about to get more complicated because I need to leave.” I said.

“You’re not going anywhere.” He growled.

“Did you really kill your first mate?” I figured I was going for it, may as well ask.

“I never had a first mate; you’re my first mate. And the answer is no, I didn’t kill her.” He replied.

“So why don’t you want me then?” I demanded.

“Damn-it woman! I’m fighting very hard here not to bend you over and mount you. OF COURSE, I WANT YOU!” Rae howled with excitement at his confession of raw desire. I was a little taken back but excited as well.

Chapter 19 – History

My phone was ringing again. “It’s a video call from my cousin Clair.” I said and sat on Dimitri’s bed ready to answer.

“Hello Clair.” I smiled and waved into the camera. Clair is my Aunt Payton’s daughter; she had the same LaRue bright blue eyes and black hair, as I did. We were often mistaken for sisters and had actually grown up in the castle together like siblings.

“Hey, what’s going on? How’s the Dionysus festival going?” She eagerly asked.

“It’s been very interesting.” I laughed. “How’s everyone doing?”

“My parents are visiting Uncle Ranger. Your parents are in the city for a few days on business. Zach and Sydney are still on their honeymoon in Australia. Helga just made an amazing cheesecake, nothing too exciting.”

“How are the boys?” I asked and Dimitri stood tense hearing me ask about boys. Guess I forgot to mention that the boys are my brothers.

“They’re great, Peter found his mate at Dark Moon pack. Her name is Mandi, she’s Gamma Blake’s daughter, which is perfect because Peter will be taking over Dark Moon next year anyway.” she said.

“Wow! Peter found his mate, I can’t believe no one called to tell me.” I said, feeling a little hurt.

“Well, it just happened last week, and they’ve pretty much been locked away mating and bonding. He’s already marked her! They’re going to have the mating ceremony next month.”

“That’s wonderful. How’s Knox taking it?” Knox was the oldest and Peter’s twin, he had yet to find his mate and has been searching for the last two years.”

“Not so great. I was thinking that maybe we should come visit you in Athens. The ancient city of the Gods might be a nice diversion for Knox, and we miss you.” She squealed.

“You really want to come here?” What horrible timing I thought.

“Why not? You’re loving it there aren’t you? The pictures of those beaches you sent are gorgeous.” She said.

“Greece is full of surprises!” I said and my eyes moved to find a smiling Dimitri standing close to me which made my heart flutter.

“OH MY GODDESS! Raven, you’re glowing! What happened? What’s his name? Is he a wolf?” Her eyes lit up like a child at a candy store.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I tried to smile normally and fake it.

“Girl, please! Who do you think you’re fooling? Zach is but a faint memory now.” Clair giggled at me. Dimitri raised an eyebrow at Zach’s name.

“You better start talking! Is he a Greek God or what? Oh Goddess, did you lose your virginity?” She asked excitedly.

Oh no she didn’t! Please just let the bed open up and swallow me whole. My face flushed and Dimitri gave me a wide eyed look at the mention of my virginity. She had no idea that he was standing in the room with me. He smiled and there was a mischievous twinkle in his eyes as he stepped closer to me.

“Hello Clair.” Dimitri’s deep voice said, and he leaned in to kiss me on the cheek. CRAP! Visions of my entire overbearing family flying to Greece flashed before me. This can’t be happening right now.

“Hi, I’m looking forward to meeting you. Knox and I will be making our way to Greece shortly.” She squealed.

Clair leaned into the
