77 Catching Alice (Book 2)
~Devin~
I heard someone pull up in my driveway, and I knew it was Alice. She did note by until ten in
the morning, which was odd, given that I had told her she could resume her job.
I tried to look as miserable as possible with a bottle of beer sitting on the couch. I needed her to let
her guard down and rx. I felt it was odd she broke up with Lukman the night I returned. She
might be trying to skip town or might be nning something worse. I did not know, but I needed to
be careful.
"Come in", I called out, already knowing who was at the door, and Alice walked in. She looked
nervous at first, but when she saw me, she gasped.
"Alpha!" she said and rushed toward me. Left to me, I would chain her in silver and drag her to
Mountain, but Iposed myself.
"What happened?" she asked, and I sighed.
"Just do your work, Alice and mind your business", I snapped at her.
I had to act as usual so she did not get suspicious of my intentions.
She seemed like she had something to say, and I raised an eyebrow at her.
"Where is Miss Sullivan," She said, still unable to refer to Susan as her Luna. This was where I had
to act, so she remained in my house while they searched her belongings because her body
language said she wasn''t resuming her work.
"Ran away two days ago, haven''t seen her since, and I doubt I would," I said, maintaining the story.
Something faltered in her eyes, and she was clearly hiding something.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.
I already knew what it was, so I did not bother with her; I just yed along.
"I am sorry to hear Alpha; I hope shees back," She said, and I knew she did not mean those
words.
"I doubt she will. I guess it was goodbye this time," I said, and she smiled.
"let me fix you something to eat." She said, and I shook my head immediately. She might try to load
me up with silver too.
"Just keep mepany and tell me all you have been up to since I left for the East," I told her, and
she smiled at me.
"Well, I went to visit my folks in Hand and returned the day before yesterday. Lukaman and I
broke upst night. We weren''t feeling the rtionship, so we decided to end things, and that is all
in a nutshell." She said, and I wanted to drill her some more I just needed to be careful how I go
about it.
"What are your dreams, Alice?" I asked her, wanting to understand her motivations. She looked at
me and frowned.
"I want to know what you aspire for yourself. You have to want something for yourself," I asked her,
and she bowed her head.
"Dreams are what they are, just dreams. Reality is always far from it, and since we all have to settle
for reality, I have no dreams," she said. That was really strangeing from someone as young as
her.
"So there is nothing you want?" I asked, and she looked at me, blushing.
"I wanted you," she confessed, and Iposed myself. I doubt she meant that because if she
cared for me, she wouldn''t have teamed up with my enemies to ruin me.
"But you wanted Miss Sullivan. I had been constant. She had been off and on, but she always won
no matter how hard I tried to show my worth. You''re a dream, and this is my reality," She said. I
knew I could get more out of her, at least buy more time.
"Why did you want me?" I asked her, and she frowned at me.
"If I said I was interested now, what would be your reason for wanting me, Alice?" I asked, and she
smiled.
"You are funny, smart, handsome, powerful. You are in charge. People call you Bane; other regional
alphas respect you and want to be like you. You are a woman''s dream, Alpha. My dream," she said
and sighed. Those were general things, so I figured it wasn''t heartfelt.
"I do not know how Susan can''t see what she has. I hope you finally get to move on because she is
nevering back," she said, and I frowned at her. It was an odd statement to make, knowing
Susan alwayses back.
"Why would you say never?" I asked, and she blushed.
"She can only run and return a couple of times. A day wille when she won''t return to you,
Alpha. She is fickle and fickle people can''t be relied upon." She said, and my phone rang. I paused
to answer it.
"Max," I said, and he sighed.
"Her house is clean, Devin. Too clean to be clean. Even Lukman finds it odd. It is as if she is
nning on leaving Greenville. Her bags are packed and everything," Max said, and I sighed. I had
figured that out already. The confirmation made it easier.
"Pleasee home," I said, not wanting to give away anything.
Kyles''s proposed way would have to do the trick because I had no time to waste. The North liked to
investigate; I just acted.
I hung up and looked at Amelia, and smiled.
"Follow me to my bedroom," I said, and she beamed at my invite. I could not believe that the girl
was willing to allow me to use her as a rebound. I had a surprise for her in my bedroom, and she
would like it.
She followed me eagerly, and I ordered her to remove her clothes, leaving her underwear on while I
bound her hands and feet.
"Today, I would let you live in that dream, Alice," I said while binding her with silver sensually, and
she was blushing. I could swear her heart was beating fast and anticipating it. Rex was eager to
finish her off, but I knew I had to be patient.
I cuffed her hand and feet with silver and then wore her blindfolds.
I reached into the wardrobe and took out a chain. I use the iron chain to tie the cuffs on her hand to
that of her feet. Leaving enough room for pulling.
"Alpha, you like Kinky stuff," She said, and I smirked.
"Yeah, Alice, I ''love'' Kinky stuff," I said and took off her blindfolds.
She looked at me, a bit surprised that I was still dressed, but I could see the anticipation in her
eyes.
"Who do you work for, Alice?" I asked.
" You, Alpha," She said sensually, and I pped her.
She had shock and fear in her eyes.
There was nothing sensual about the p and the look on my face.
Her mood changed, and it was like something was switched off in her. Her need was reced with
confusion and fear.
I lifted her chin and stared into her eyes.
"Who do you work for, Alice?" I asked, and she pretended not to know what I was talking about
when I pped her again so she would know I was serious.
"Alpha," she cried, and I pped her again. She had no ess to her wolf abilities, so she was
bleeding.
Just then, Lukman, Max and Kyle arrived, and I asked them to join us in our bedroom. The moment
they entered, Lukman gasped, and Kyle and Max were happy.
"That is what I am talking about," Kyle said.
"Alpha?" Lukman said, and Alice looked at him with pleading eyes.
"Lukman, Alpha is hurting me," she said, and I pped her again.
"I confirmed that you did not visit your folks in Hand," I said, and her eyes widened.
I could see she understood her predicament now.
"How long have you been working for them, Alice? And why?" I asked her, and she began to sob.
"I do not know what you are talking about." She said, and I pulled her hair really tight so she could
look up at me.
"I am not ying, Alice. I am ready to kill you for what you and your friend did in Brent," I said, and
the surprised look in her eyes said it all.
"What happened in Brent?" Lukman asked.
"Alice buried silver arrows in Susan because Susan confronted her when she saw her with those
silver immune weirdos with white hair. The same people that wiped out Pridewood," Max exined,
and Lukman gasped. Tears began to stream down Alice''s cheeks.
"Why did you do it? Why did you betray me? They almost killed Leo, thinking he wasing with
the royals. You were the only one that had ess to that information. Had the Royals really been
there, they would have been killed, and it would have been your doing. Why Alice?" I said, tugging
on her hair.
"His name is Inkabod Semenov, Current Alpha of Leegard close to Gad. He is the one that took
over Brent," she said in tears, and I pulled her hair tighter.
"We have been dating for six months now; we are to be wedded on the Bluemoon night. I was going
to leave tonight. He works for a man called Yuri.
I have never seen him before, but he calls him his uncle.
They want to take over the south and east and establish kingship," She said and began to cry. I let
go of her hair.
"When you asked me what my dream was, that was it, Alpha. I wanted to be Luna too. Normally I
should be your choice being the beta''s daughter, but you chose a Sullivan. One from a treacherous
lineage," She said, weeping, and Maxughed.
"So you decided to be a traitor so Devin would find you appealing, right?" he said, and even though
it was funny, this wasn''t the right time tough.
"You will lead us to this Semenov bastard, am I clear?" I said with mymand, and she nodded
quickly.
"Pack her up; she is going to the east," I said, and Kyle smiled.
"With Pleasure, Bane," He said, calling me by my nickname, and I knew he was enjoying this. I
could also understand his reasons. She was part of the people that helped run him out of his home.
I pulled Lukman aside to give him instructions.
"I want the rest of the Greenville residence, that is, civilians moved to the North. Only our military
presence should remain. Thanks to Alice, the South has fallen. I do not want innocent people to die.
If theye, make sure everyone surrenders and chooses to serve. Do not fight back." I said, and
he looked at me with a worried expression in his eyes, and I nodded.
"Trust me. It is better than ending up like Pridewood." I said, avoiding telling him we had a n.
The less he knew, the better it would be.
I never trusted Andrew''s idea of teaming up with Yuri because anyone that would kill multitudes of
innocent people cannot be trusted.
I do not care what Andrew has to say.
I got ready to head back to the east with the prisoner.
I felt Inkabod was a valuable yer, and he would blow this thing open and give us a fighting
chance.
He was just one person, and we had Amelia, Alexei and y on our team. There was no way we
could go wrong.
